Below are appointments to positions that are co-terminus with the president. These positions don’t have fixed terms unlike those listed above.
Some of these officials’ appointments are controversial, not because of the few remaining days they will hold on to the position, but because of odd circumstances, including how officials being replaced were dismissed unceremoniuously.
Some of the names below are considered “midnight appointments” since they assumed the positions on the eve of, or too close to, the March 10 ban on presidential appointments.

THE STUPIDITY OF UNSOLICITED ADVICE
TO gamorsangcopan:
We do not need your unsolicited advice and we do not aknowledged and accept the illegitimate presidency of you boss Gloria Arroyo. The only remedy on the cancerous problems of our countrymen brought about by the illegitimate presidency of Gloria Arroyo is for the people to throw her family and cronies in jail for life.
USE WISDOM IN GIVING YOUR COMMENTS
TO TOINK,
Please be reminded that the President (Her Excellency Madam President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) is only exercising her power as the appointing authority. Whoever becomes the next President will certainly do the same act by appointing whomsoever the President thinks such an appointee is clothed with TRUST and CONFIDENCE. Don't make midnight appointments as a great blunder of our very own President. She's just a woman who deserves our highest respect.
USE WISDOM IN GIVING YOUR COMMENTS
TO ZOREN,
You listed four (4)major problems that are certainly to be resolved by Senator Noynoy Aquino if ever he becomes the next President. In advance, you've contributed your part in guiding the next president to REFORM and RESHAPE the present image of our system of governance. If you become the next President, are you sure the act of terminating incumbent government officials, officers and employees will give favorable returns in remedying the cancerous problems of our countrymen?
USE WISDOM IN GIVING YOUR COMMENTS
TO RICH,
Your list of crimes allegedly committed by the present President (Her Excellency Madam Gloria Macapagal Arroyo)is a unique of its kind and therefore you deserve to become a future leader of our country. Before you aspire for that highest post, are you really determined to be HONEST as the ANGEL from HEAVEN if you become the President of the Republic of the Philippines?
Tama ba ito
Dapat nga magbitaw sa posisyon yun iba dyan.
pabayaan nyo na lang si
pabayaan nyo na lang si Gloria kayo talaga mga wrter ng taga abs cbn makagawa lang storya at public opinion, down na nga yung president nyo na minsang nyong inangat ngayon sinisira nyo, ganyan din ba gagawin nyo kay noynoy kpag naupo na ? Be fair kaya hindi nyo matalo ang kabila sa news and current affairs eh dahil sa pagiging bias nyo.
Yun lang pero loyal ako sa TFC pa rin ako. opinion ko lang yun.

Pangulong Aquino
Magkakaroon ng madaming hadlang sa pagpapatupad ng kaunlaran si Presidente Noynoy. Eto ang ilan sa mga panunahing problemang kanyang haharapin:
1) Mga appointees ni GMA na kailangang aalisin sa puwesto, gaya ng SC chief of justice;
2) Mga congressmen na parang buwaya na pag di mabigyan ng sapat na pork barrel ay itatanghal na speaker of the house si GMA o kaya ang lider ng mga sikyo na si Mikee;
3) Mga militar na mawawalan ng delihensiya, tiyak na mag ku-kudeta;
4) Ang hinagpis at poot ni Villar na ipapahiwatig sa mag destabilisa sa ekonomiya ng bayan.
Ilan lamang ito sa mga isyung haharapin ni Presidente Noynoy. Tulungan natin siya maging matagumpay. Bantayan natin siya sa mga puwersang nagnanais ibalik ang happy hour sa panahon ni GMA.
Aquino, ay dekretong kurakot
Here's what Tulfo has to say about Noynoy.
Hacienda Luisita, pangakong napako
by Erwin Tulfo
Sunday, 28 February 2010 20:12
KAMANGHA-MANGHA kung paano pinaiikot nitong si Sen. Noynoy Aquino at kanyang kampo ang kanyang kampanya sa isyu ng “korupsiyon” laban sa naghihingalong administrasyong Arroyo at laban sa kanyang mga pangunahing karibal.
Ang masasabi ko lamang sa lahat ng mga kandidato sa May 10 presidential race, itong si Noynoy ang may pinakamabisang maskara.
Suot ni Noynoy ang maskara ng kalinisan, kabutihan at kadakilaan.
Hindi raw siya magnanakaw tulad ni Arroyo na tinulungang maluklok sa kapangyarihan ni Cory Aquino at ikinampanya laban kay Fernando Poe Jr.
Ipinagduduldulan siya ay galing sa disenteng pamilya at taglay niya ang kalinisan ng kalooban at kadakilaan ng kanyang mga magulang na sina Ka Ninoy at Tita Cory.
Itong melodrama ng mga Aquino na heir ng makapangyarihang at napakayamang pamilya-Cojuangco ang sentro ng media blitz ni Noynoy.
Ewan kung bakit nagrereklamo si Noynoy sa dami ng TV ads ng karibal na si Sen. Manny Villar ngunit dagsa naman ang TV ads niya.
Bakit kinakailangan ni Noynoy ng maraming TV ads? Hindi ba sapat na siya’y anak ni Ninoy at Cory?
O wala rin siyang nagawa sa Kongreso at Senado?
Wala rin siyang nagawa bagkus ipinagtanggol pa niya ang Hacienda Luisita Massacre noong 2004.
Itong isyu ng Hacienda Luisita ang kinakailangang ipaliwanag ni Noynoy sa publiko ngayong tumatakbo siya sa pagka-pangulo.
Bakit ngayon pa siya mangangako na isasailalim sa Agrarian Reform ang Hacienda Luisita na isa sa sangkaterbang hacienda na pag-aari ng kanyang pamilya?
Bakit hangga ngayon ay hindi pa nabibigyan ng hustisya ang pagkakapaslang ng private army ng kanyang pamilya sa pitong magsasaka at supporter ng mga alipin sa Hacienda Luisita.
Dahil sa makapangyarihan ang pamilya ni Noynoy, namaniobra sa Korte Suprema at hindi napasailalim sa agrarian reform ang Hacienda Luisita.
Si Noynoy ay tagapagmana ng huwad na demokrasyang pinairal 24 taon ang nakakaraan matapos palitan ni Cory ang diktador na si Marcos.
Ang demokrasyang pinairal mula noon ay para lamang sa mayayaman na lalong yumaman kasama ng mga dayuhang Intsik na nagpapaikot sa ating ekonomiya.
Samantala, ang mahihirap na Pilipino ay lalong naghirap.
Kung tapat ang kalooban ni Noynoy, mag-umpisa siya sa pagbibigay ng hustisya sa mga alipin sa Hacienda Luisita.

Aquino, vote buying
Noynoy's violates vote buying law
Dinky accepts Noynoy's Cabinet offer
By Aurea Calica (The Philippine Star) Updated February 24, 2010 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Liberal Party standard-bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III said yesterday that former social welfare secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman had accepted his offer for her to return to her old position if he would be elected president.
Aquino denied he already has a shadow cabinet and that only Soliman had so far signified her willingness to serve under his administration.
He said he approached another but that person only gave him a smile. He said he took it to mean that the person wanted to go back to the private sector.
Soliman was a member of the so-called “Hyatt 10” who resigned from the Cabinet of President Arroyo in July 2005 and asked her to do the same.
The Hyatt 10 said Mrs. Arroyo lost her moral ground to lead the nation after the “Hello, Garci” cheating controversy erupted after the 2004 elections.
===============
The LAW states that:
Under the Election Code, vote-buying or vote-selling involves “any person who gives, offers or promises money or anything of value, gives or promises any office or employment,franchise or grant, public or private, or makes or offers to make an expenditure, directly or indirectly, or cause an expenditure to be made to any person, association, corporation, entity, or community in order to induce anyone or the public in general to vote for or against any candidate or withhold his vote in the election, or to vote for or against any aspirant for the nomination or choice of a candidate in a convention or similar selection process of a political party.”
