We beg to differ.
The country’s best known PR practitioner Charlie Agatep brought up what I feel is an important issue when it comes to natural calamities and the work of politicians/government functionaries. On his timeline on Facebook, Agatep posted an excerpt from an article from the Manila Bulletin where President Benigno S. Aquino III was quoted as saying…

‘A mountain had gone into labour and was groaning terribly. Such rumors excited great expectations all over the country. In the end, however, the mountain gave birth to a mouse.’ — Phaedrus Well… Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras didn’t exactly say it that way but that is the essence of what he said in a TV interview on…
