1st-APLUMA NATIONAL PRESIDENT
FROM one kapalpakan to another kapalpakan and yet again to another kapalpakan to another kapalpakan. Whew! We pity P-Noy. Indeed, it’s no bed of roses for the bossing of the Philippines my Philippines.
It’s not of his own undoing but rather, could be on his choice of people or persons to choice positions.
This, seemingly, is what the Aquino Administration has started off this 15th administration which is slowly but surely getting a nasty brand, and above all else, into motion the primal media outfits into attack mode.
For one, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago cannot help but call P-Noy’s appointees as no other than “a bunch of lightweights” even as she admonished they’d all go through the wringer in their respective confirmations.
That’s too heavy a word or words.
Had it been in the Martial Law years, that could have sent someone to “thy kingdom come thy will be done” padlocked or calaboosed. Amen to that? Amen to that.
Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.
Only a few days after P-Noy’s inauguration, or hardly had P-Noy’s handpicked DepEd secretary warmed his seat, the good secretary rattled off unsavory words to the working media claiming that we, media workers do not help a thing but mangle issues. My foot!
Betchabygollywow!
What a way to start in one’s brand new office: Declaring war to the members of the Fourth Estate!
Kung ako n’yan kahit ako’y isang hamak na barangay tanod hindeng-hindi ko sasabihin kay Mike Enriquez, o sa kanyang mga kapatid sa hanabuhay, na “hindi kayo nakakatulong sa bansa, bagkus pinagugulo lang ninyo ang bansa.”
Oh, well somebody call the marines please…
Heto pa ang kanyang sinabing pamatay: “Hindi kayo kailangan dito!” Good Lord Jesus Christ.
These, I remember watching and hearing on national television coming off from the sweaty face of P-Noy’s brand new DepEd Secretary only a few hours after visiting his new office in Pasig City!
Think of it. What transpired was a series of seminars for P-Noy’s chosen ones and their respective staffs. The topic? On how to properly handle national media! Whew.
Talk about PR 101. Plain and simple modesty handling newfound cabinet post can do the trick.
Declaring war to the working media wouldn’t help unless you have the guts to wipe them out with a gigantic back hoe killing machine and high-powered automatic rifles. Tha’t we won’t forget. A masterpiece of Satan: Maguindanao Massacre. So macabre. Gory. Inhuman.
Then again, there was the Malacanang booboo on the alleged“wordings” of P-Noy’s Executive Order No. 1 (again, didn’t we say “talk about starting off on the wrong foot?”).
It’s still so fresh in my memory bank, yes, again on national TV, P-Noy’s spokesman Edwin Lacierda exchanging tight and not so kind words on the wordings of that EO1 ordering the agarang recall all of GMA’s midnight appointees.
The SC later questioned its constitutionality.
Past forward.
“So, may kapalpakan. That’s why you (Malacanang) revised the executive order released earlier?,” a reporter asked Lacierda.
With face already reddish the latter retorted: “No, no. Walang kapalpakan. We only revised some phrases.”
Sensing the vain attempt on play of words, the reporter also revised/rehashed his line. “Ah, ok sir. So, may palpak (from the original kapalpakan word) kaya po ni-revise?”
Now visibly irked, Lacierda tried hard to keep his cool.
That was the long and short tale of EO101, err, EO1. We heard lately Lacierda announce on national media P-Noy will soon release an EO about his administration’s open skies policy?
Sure did. And surely, his DOT secretary in Hon. Berti Lim, who is at present under fire on the raging Pilipinas Kay Ganda flopsina, has a thumbprint in it owing to his known attachment to a group called Freedom to Fly before. Add to it the fact that the OSP is accordingly intended to boost Philippine Tourism. And it’s no other than BL who’s at the DOT helm.
His undersecretary took the fall guy’s role in the PKG episode.
But the Mother of course, of all these mga Kapalpakans was of course, the hard-to-forget Luneta hostage drama where a score of HK tourists lost their lives while on holiday to our hostage crisis solution flaps.
And of course, heads didn’t roll to the dismay of HK authorities and so with DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima whose recommendation for appropriate legal actions against the main players of the hostage fiasco was only met by kind words “will further study/re-evaluate this.”
This was a police matter and thusly a concern of the DILG but P-Noy’s choosen boss chief in there never resigned nor was asked by Malacanang to tender his resignation letter.
Instead, P-Noy played up the Fall Guy part to the max by taking all the blame in DILG secretary Robredo’s behalf. How nice. Indeed, it’s so nice for one public official with the President saving his scalp. Others say, it could be a bad precedent. No we didn’t say President.
From one kapalpakan to another.
There was also this obnoxious tweet on the Tweeter by P-Noy’s speechwriter who claimed “the wine sucks” and who complained about the absence of handsome men in Vietnam during P-Noy’s official function there recently.
It really sucks.
According to Mike Enriquez in a morning radio program, Aquino is no different from GMA. His surname starts with a letter “A” and ends with a letter “O.”
Similarly, Arroyo also starts with a letter “A” and ends in “O.”
Would Aquino also suffer the same fate as did Arroyo ended her administration?
You be the judge!
