i dont think ang reason why daghan naglagot ni noynoy is how the situation was handled. lets say he has nothing to do with the police and sakto to iyang gibuhat na i delegate lng and di mu order ug media blackout... but then again, there are many factors that points directly at him like the fact na wala man lng sya nagparamdam the whole time it happended. to think it lasted for almost 12 hours and he had all the opportunity in the world to say something but he didnt. he didnt even have the decency to issue a reassuring statement or whatever to at least let the people know especially HK people and officials that somehow, he cares about what was happening in his turf...also considering that the people involved were tourists...making it an international fiasco. any leader in his right mind would at least do something...
then he shows up after the tragedy acting as if nothing happened. the attitude he displayed is downright unacceptable...add the smirking to that and not owning up to at least a little bit of responsibility but instead passing on the blame to whoever.
but its too late to keep complaining now. the damage has been done and there is no way we can take back all the insensitive comments noynoy and his galamays said about the whole incidence...including the one made about tsang not making the call to noynoy last monday and tourism secretary's alberto lim's statement about it being an ordinary case... its too late. mana...di na mabalik ang tanan. all we could do is bow our heads in shame in front of the international community. its always the ordinary people who take the blow, especially the poor OFWs in hongkong and other parts of the world.
after all said and done, we are also to blame for putting an incompetent leader on top. who else is to blame but us and our twisted image of democracy?
