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.

Oh my bigas!

Sabi ng Agriculture Secretary mayroon daw sapat na imbak ng bigas para sa bansa at hindi dapat mangamba sa rice crisis. Sabi naman ng NFA maaari daw kailanganin na mag-import tayo ng bigas.

Ano ba talaga mga ser? Niloloko niyo ba kami o pinapaasa lang?

Baka naman hirap lang sa pag-amin si Pnoy dahil binabatikos niya noon ang rice importation ng nakaraang administrasyon. Hindi niya kasi naunawaan noon na nag-import bilang paghahanda sa maaaring maging kakulangan ng supply sa world market.

Napakaimportante ng bigas sa ating mga Pilipino. Mabigat na pasakit sa ating mga ordinaryong Pinoy ang pagmahal ng presyo ng bigas sa gitna ng patuloy na pagbulusok ng presyo ng iba pang mga pangunahing bilihin. Kailangang maging tiyak at maingat ang ating pamahalaan sa pag-monitor ng supply nito, at hindi makakatulong ang mga magkakasalungat na pahayag tungkol dito.

Corruption in the Philippines.

Here's a copy of PERC's letter on the Philippines' corruption record.

Today is another painful day for the Filipino nation. Sally Ordinario, Ramon Credo, and Elizabeth Batain will meet their creator as they die in the hands of the Chinese after conviction for illegal drug trafficking.t

Today marks the Philippine government's consistent failure to act on the menace called ILLEGAL DRUGS. These international drug syndicates preying on our OFWs can still walk around the country, freely, without the government catching them.

PNOY is not doing anything!!!!
