Comparisons to Hurricane Katrina are Excuses for Incompetence

Posted on November 18, 2013November 18, 2013 By ChinoF 71 Comments on Comparisons to Hurricane Katrina are Excuses for Incompetence
Comparisons to Hurricane Katrina are Excuses for Incompetence

When Anderson Cooper of CNN reported that help was slow in coming to people in the provinces battered by Haiyan, the government and its supporters immediately went on the defensive. Instead of coming out with admissions of some lapses in leadership while reassuring that help is coming, they instead came out with defenses of their…

Typhoon Yolanda has exposed the nakedness of an image-conscious Philippines

Posted on November 17, 2013November 30, 2013 By FallenAngel 171 Comments on Typhoon Yolanda has exposed the nakedness of an image-conscious Philippines
Typhoon Yolanda has exposed the nakedness of an image-conscious Philippines

And when we say the Philippines, we don’t mean just the government; we mean to include the Filipino people who voted those incompetent officials in, like for example, president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III. From the start of his term, it has been painfully obvious that BS Aquino’s presidency was heavily anchored on popularity. Thus,…

Korina Sanchez is Mar Roxas’s wife! (and other insights gleaned from the Yolanda disaster)

Korina Sanchez is Mar Roxas’s wife! (and other insights gleaned from the Yolanda disaster)

Did the Filipino people elect their leaders so that they could be given a “break” in times when their leadership is needed the most? It seems that’s exactly what they did. Many Filipinos are already quite aware of the embarrassingly cringe-worthy manner with which Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III and Department of Interior…

Sec. Mar Roxas character exposed in interview with CNN’s Andrew Stevens at Yolanda disaster site

Sec. Mar Roxas character exposed in interview with CNN’s Andrew Stevens at Yolanda disaster site

They say people’s true character reveals itself under pressure. Super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) has certainly put Philippine politicians under pressure. This is something they are not really used to. They are more used to grandstanding under their own terms during scheduled press conferences with members of the local media and during mock hearings, which appear…

CNN’s Anderson Cooper versus Noynoy Aquino on the Typhoon Yolanda situation: like fact versus fiction

There is now an ongoing battle for the truth about the real situation in typhoon-ravaged areas amidst the tragedy that is still unfolding a week after super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) left the Philippines. On one side, members of the international media are giving factual reports from the ground at the disaster zone. On the other…

Tacloban officials suffer through BS Aquino immediately after TS Yolanda

As if Tacloban officials didn’t have enough on their hands with assessing damage, estimating the number of casualties, and generally keeping the deteriorating peace and order situation under control, all brought about by Tropical Storm Yolanda (Haiyan), along came another calamity that they had to deal with: the Bullshit Storm generated from president Benigno Simeon…

Does the government of President Noynoy Aquino govern? Or does it MERELY spin?

Does the government of President Noynoy Aquino govern? Or does it MERELY spin?

In a rare stroke of balance, “social news network” site Rappler published the scholarly work of eminent sociologist Nicole Curato, “a post-doctoral research fellow at the Center for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance at the Australian National University” according to the short bio included at the foot of her article The President as spin doctor….

Noynoy Aquino’s presidency has been nothing but one big lose-lose situation

Noynoy Aquino’s presidency has been nothing but one big lose-lose situation

I think it’s time to call things as they really are, again. Things have been going downhill lately for President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino’s term. His credibility both abroad and at home is virtually non-existent. Calls have been mounting for him either to be impeached or to resign. The popularity that is the primary foundation…
