Bro Scam I watched the news this evening. According to recent surveys (don't know who conducted these) 75% of Filipinos are happy with Pnoy's performance, 9% are dissatisfied, and 16% are undecided.

 

I guess we belong to the 9% who are dissatisfied with his performance. Whether the surveys were paid for by the administration or not is beside the point. The point is the results were aired on television. And many people believe everything they see on the news hook, line, and sinker.

Well the performance of Pnoy insofar as responding to the crisis in Leyte and other provinces goes is extremely sub-par. I don't care to hear his excuses. I hate to think of how much worse it would be today in Leyte if not for pressure coming from the international community and the international and local media as well as international aid, particularly from the Americans who provided much needed aircraft and supplies.

 

Christiane Amanpour interviewed PNoy on CNN and said that the success or failure of his administration would largely be judged on his performance in this catastrophe.

 

So much for surveys. His administration clearly failed to do its job and he and his political party will be judged accordingly. His words are hollow insofar as justifying why aid has come so slowly for the people of Tacloban and other areas. He has no excuse whatsoever.

CNN veteran anchor man Anderson Cooper reported from Tacloban 3 or 4 days after typhoon Yolanda hit the Samar-Leyte areas. He reported on what he saw which drew the ire of ABS-CBN Newscaster Korina Sanchez who co-hosts TV Patrol along with Noli De Castro (who's now in Tacloban) and Ted Failon.

 

Check out this article regarding Anderson Cooper and Korina Sanchez.

Somehow, I think there is no way to rescue the PNoy administration after its dismal failure to address the problems encountered by Filipino citizens living in Leyte and Samar. His administration will always be judged by the way he poorly managed the disaster. It will be difficult to fix his reputation now. His best thing he can do at this time is to apologize. He can admit he was totally confused on how to handle the situation. He can admit he was totally unprepared for the storm...that he had no way of knowing that the damage inflicted was worse than he ever imagined. He should remain extremely humble instead of denying that he was incompetent, blaming other people for the mess that happened in those areas, etc.

Can't help speculating how the part of his person as an heir of hacienderos is influencing his thinking, emotions and actions on the situation in Leyte and Samar. And there's just no place for partisan politics down there. I understand the national government wants to declare the LGU non-operational and take over the running of things completely. Something's not right.

 

Our country has suffered an unprecedented calamity. Let's face it as a country, join hands, work together.

I'm so pissed at this president. If only those next in line aren't just as bad, I would call for his resignation.

 

More than a week after the tragedy and he STILL blames LGUs for the failure of relief operations, when said LGUs were also affected by the typhoon.

 

He's acting like a spoiled 6 year old!

Exactly. There's no room for partisan politics in a calamity like this. But then again, Pnoy has gone on record putting part of the blame of the catastrophe on the local governments of Leyte. When a police chief expressed the opinion that the casualty figure may rise to over 10,000 dead, Pnoy fired him. When foreign media was covering the situation at Tacloban and other nearby towns, Pnoy cautioned them to be careful and accurate in their reporting. It's as if the most important thing for him is his image.

 

Also, being true to form, his favorite defense is to blame others.

 

Being leader of this country, he should have gone to Leyte AND STAYED THERE until the situation stabilized. He should have committed every single resource of his government to aid the victims.

 

Instead, what he did was go there for a couple of hours, distribute some water, and berate local executives before returning to Manila. That seems to be the extent of his personal "involvement" there.

Absolutely right! What can LGUs do if they don't have any resources available to them? The resources are in other parts of the Philippines, particularly Metro Manila which Pnoy should have committed since day 1.

 

And again you're right about those next in line being just as bad (or worse)....

It's now on the news. PNoy will stay indefinitely at Leyte until things normalize. Great! He should have done that since day 1. Now he'll be perceived as doing too little too late just to salvage whatever lousy reputation he already has. Obviously a move motivated by politics rather than a genuine concern for the people of Leyte and Samar.

Dear Pnoy,

 

you failed us.

 

at a time when we needed somebody to rally the nation, at the time when we needed you most, you chose to pass the buck.

 

But you can't pass the buck. You're the president. The buck should stop with you. Yet like a child you chose to point fingers and blame someone else. At a time when we all should be working together.

 

What you did showed a lack of leadership skills that I haven't seen since my High School days.

 

We needed a leader that we could lean on, and show us what to do in the face of this disaster. A leader who could have spawned hope instead of insults and criticisms.

 

Sadly you failed miserably, and If I truly am your boss, then you're fired. This level of ineptitude should not acceptable anywhere, even in the private sector.
