The wrath of Yolanda has showed to us how government can fail us during the most critical hours when we needed to feel its presence. It is even worst after its aftermath. Sad, truly sad because every peso we contribute to taxes whether in the form of withholding, value added or expanded value added taxes are pesos we worked hard for.

When critics take the plate
The aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda has seen more and more people trooping to the frontlines. These are ordinary folks who just want to help in any way they can. But it is interesting how people in the Aquino administration label critics as do-nothing, on the saddle, spewing invectives lot. I beg to disagree cause critics have their unique role in pushing TeamPH.

Aftermath of Yolanda
Yolanda hit the country as I was in transit to Manila from the other side of the globe. From every stop, I was monitoring how things were and sadly it was all foreign media focusing laser-like quality on the events unfolding. The moment some travelers get to know one is Filipino, they stop and ask how was PH, one’s family and how one is feeling with all these natural calamities? It felt good because you can feel their sincerities and it felt bad because you know it’s tragic to get the foreigners to even stop and see you in a different light.

When you walk the Dictator's path
When two former Supreme Court Chief Justices formally take a position and make the same public then something is truly screwed in our beloved Philippines. And when a president says “taking this into account, such projects by the legislators made up a mere 9 percent of the program. Why, then, is the DAP being made an issue?" then one gets the impression that the one hand does not know what the other is doing. Truly sad for the son of Democracy's icon and the Partido Liberal who I thought would be a lot better as a party-in-governance.
