Manny Pacquiao, Noynoy Aquino at PSP
Manny Pacquiao at Sugar Shane Moseley may laban sa Las Vegas. Si Noynoy Aquino may laban sa PSP. Kamakailan lang ay itinanggi ni Noynoy na naglalaro siya ng PSP. Inaasahan na natin na sasabihin niya ito. Pero walang pagtanggi ang makakadaig sa katotohanan na nasasaksihan ng mga empleyado sa Palasyo at mga malapit sa Pangulo.
Hindi raw siya tamad, sabi ni PNoy. Pero senyales ba ng .niya ang walang ni isang programa para sa bansa lalo na sa mahihirap?
Ang sinundan niyang Pangulo ay napakaraming inanunsyong mga proyekto at programa. Si Benigno Aquino III, wala! Mag-iisang taon na si Noynoy Aquino sa pwesto pero wala pa rin siyang nagawa bukod sa mga hilaw na salita na labanan ang korupsyon.
Pinagiinitan niya nag mga Arroyo, sinusuportahan naman siya ng media. Paano na ang kawawang Pilipino?

The Ombudsman and PNoy
Now that the Ombudsman has resigned, what is next for the Aquino administration?
As Neil Tupas said, the impeachment trial would now be moot and academic. But if the administration allies really want to prosecute Merci because of her alleged inaction, then they should proceed with the impeachment trial. Otherwise, the other penalty of disqualification to hold public office would not be imposed - that is if the impeachment court finds her guilty. By the way, compared to Tupas who had a number of graft and corruption charges before the Ombudsman, Merci has no record of pocketing a single centavo in her entire tenure in the government service.
Tupas as head of the prosecution panel seems to have relaxed and is content with the resignation. That means he was probably instructed by Aquino to initiate the impeachment complaint for the sake of pressuring the Ombudsman to resign so that he (Aquino) can appoint his own Ombudsman. It must be noted that there is no need for the Commission on Appointments to confirm the appointed Ombudsman. President Aquino has a free hand in this future appointment.
In the first place, the present administration was in a hurry to proceed with the impeachment only to cover up President Aquino's obvious inaction to the more important complaints of the public, especially the poor - rising oil prices followed by rising prices of commodities. Poverty issues are not co-equal with corruption issues. The former is a more important concern for majority of the Filipinos.
This current development in the Philippine government is a lesser concern for Aquino. Ang mas mahalaga ay ang nagugutom at nahihirapan na mga Pilipino. Nasaan si Benigno Simeon Aquino III para tumulong?

PNoy and his trivial deeds
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.

Oil Price Hike and PNoy
What does President Benigno Aquino III have to say about the rapidly increasing oil prices and the sudden backtracking of oil companies on their posted price hikes? He says his people will study and investigate the incident. As always, his student-council type of leadership is irritating. In the middle of all this he would just engage in investigations instead of taking positive actions to help the poor Juan dela Cruz from the ill effects of the selfishness of these oil companies.
During the Holy Week, gasing up was a pain in the ass. Tanks don't get filled up much with just P500 pesos. Yet Noynoy Aquino says he'll ask his Energy people to find out what happened.
