In an interview with reporters if she has a timeline to address criminality in the country.  Poe said:
</p>
<div class="article-comment">
<p>
"Ako, I'm very optimistic na pagkaupo ko bilang pangulo, mararamdaman na nila ang seguridad sa loob pa lang ng isang buwan." (I'm very optimistic that if I become the president, Filipinos would feel security in my first month in office.)
</p>
<p>
"Importante lang na within the first month, mararamdaman ng mga tao na yung commander in chief nila ay talagang nagtalaga na ng mga taong mapagkakatiwalaan nila at mismo sa mga baranggay na bumaba ang mga tao para masiguro na maimplementa ang programa laban sa krimen at droga." (The important thing is within the first month, the people will feel that their commander in chief appointed trustworthy individuals and that the people can go to their respective villages to ensure that the programs against crime and illegal drugs are implemented.)
</p>

<p>
How will she achieve this?  Poe said:
</p>
<div class="article-comment">
<p>
"Sapagkat yung itatalaga natin na mamuno ng PNP (Philippine National Office) ay matino." (Because we will assign a decent PNP chief.)
</p>

It is understandable how slipping behind to No. 2 in the latest survey (Duterte at 30% vs. Poe at 25%) can get a previous leading candidate desperate.   But this kind of statement just seems too surreal to be taken seriously.
</p>
<p>
The truth is, her first month in office will be loaded with a hectic schedule of organizing cabinet ministers and leaders in government, the arduous process of transitioning into new leadership for many departments and agencies, and communicating to them the plans and strategies to which they must align to.
