SOCIAL Welfare Secretary Corazon "Dinky" Soliman is bitter at the mutinous Magdalo group.

"Even the vendors of isaw (barbecued innards) whom we provided with seed capital can now lose their market," she said yesterday, and warned the public from regarding the mutineers as "idealists" or "heroes."

Soliman, who is directly tasked with helping the poorest of the poor, said she felt "not just frustration but [also] anger" over the economic consequences of Sunday's failed uprising.

"I'm passionate about this because whatever hope we [in the Department of Social Welfare and Department] have generated by helping a significant number of people in a concrete manner is now backsliding," she said in a phone interview wherein she made a rare display of resentment.

She said that the mutiny leaders had a "political agenda" and that she was worried they would be "hero-worshipped."
