Sorry’ is not in PNoy’s vocabulary

US President Barack Obama, the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, last week said “I am sorry, we fumbled” for the shortcomings of his Affordable Health Care Act that briefly caused a government shutdown.

President Aquino, on the other hand, let his minions Press Secretary Herminio Coloma and NDRRMC Deputy Director Eduardo del Rosario to admit government lapses in the handling of relief operations for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda.

It would have been a redeeming measure of the man if Aquino himself had apologized to the nation. Why is humility so alien to this President? Is it his privileged upbringing in a hacendero class family?

“Uniquely unqualified, “is how outraged film director Peque Gallaga described PNoy.

Here are choice words excerpted from citizen Gallaga’s “mad as hell” post on Facebook:

“Not since Marcos have we been so polarized. We are on the edge of a civil war. We are fighting friends in coffee houses and on Facebook. Friends accused me of Aquino-bashing and being negative. I believe we can also help when we criticize.

This line about the people being his ‘boss’ is nothing but an advertising sound byte that made the unthinking masses swallow this uniquely unqualified man. What can we expect from someone totally unprepared for the country’s most difficult job?

I rage against a man who continuously blames the LGUs on the ground for their incompetence and inefficiency while he plays politics with people’s lives.

Taking a long hard look at our leaders, we judge them and found them wanting. They are impotent and incompetent. We have chosen them and paying them to serve the needs of the nation but can’t deliver.

The disaster has affected not only the islands in Yolanda’s path but all of us as a nation. We, too, have been judged and found wanting.”

The award-winning director also took a swipe at ABS-CBN’s newscaster Korina Sanchez for saying CNN’s Anderson Cooper was “misinformed” about the situation in Tacloban.

“Cooper was in Tacloban, Sanchez was not,” said Gallaga who pointed out that CNN merely reported accounts of starving people who contradicted Palace press releases that the government was on top of the situation.

It’s not known whether the Lopez network has suspended the wife of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas for her “loose lips” comment but she has been notably absent from TV Patrol’s evening newscast.

Tsunami, not storm surge?

Fisherfolk living near the coastline of Basey, Samar, said that what hit them was not a storm surge but a tsunami triggered by Typhoon Yolanda.

“The waves receded as a dark cloud loomed, and then a great wall of water came surging back with a loud boom and wiped out the whole village,” recounted some survivors.

Are these portents of things to come? The people’s growing anger also has the makings of a tsunami which could surge all the way to the Palace by the Pasig.

With official government body count at almost 3,000 (the UN says 4,600) with many still missing and non-functioning local government units unable to give exact figures, the unceremoniously dismissed Chief. Supt.Elmer Soria’s estimate of 10,000 casualties could be right after all. Will Aquino apologize and reinstate him?

Aquino should do the math—5,000 people died and 4,000 still missing in the 1991 deluge in Ormoc, Leyte. This was just one city unlike Typhoon Yolanda which cut a wide swath of death and destruction in Leyte. Samar, Bohol , Cebu, Capiz, Camiguin, Aklan, Antique, Surigao del Sur and Norte, Iloilo, Negros.and parts of Palawan.
