During the Holy Week, PNoy spent some time inspecting bus terminals and airports to "ensure" the safety of the public as they leave for the provinces. A radio commentator and a former president said, and I agree with them, that what PNoy did was too shallow of an activity for a head of state. It was simple police work which he should have left with his PNP chief. Once again, he has downgraded the office of the chief executive by doing stuff suited for a subordinate. Whoever advised him to go around the bus terminals is clearly a mediocre person. It's the President for chrissakes!
Yesterday, PNoy made news again, another showbiz news for that matter. He visited the wake of teen idol AJ Perez (RIP) as it was said he was a friend of the family. Again, another "state" event which caused the media to make a full story out of it. Well he may have just condoled with the family of the deceased so this is quite forgiveable. But then again, his the President! Now I expect him to visit the wakes of every deceased poor Filipino. Diba boss niya tayo?
Then there's his easter message for the former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Like his palengkera sister Kris, he has this penchant for talking around as if he/she is a saint. Pareho silang sumusuka ng mapagpanggap na mga salita.
These are just some of what PNoy did lately which makes me think of him as "unpresidential." As regards the rising oil price, he has nothing concrete to say. As regards impending food security issues, he has nothing to say.
