When President Abnoy was installed in Office last year, jubilant Yellow Zombies celebrated as if there’s no tomorrow. One year on, and, I guess they’re still in the dreamland. Majority of Filipinos have already woken up from their nightmare, electing the wrong man to the presidency. They are now realizing how pathetic they are for voting the Abnoy in the 2010 elections.
President Abnoy’s government that started in euphoria is now facing a problem not unique to presidents of the Philippines, decline in ratings. President Abnoy is the only person to blame in the decline of his ratings. He talks about accountability, transparency but in the end, he’ll go out of his way to cover, protect and even absolve his KKK (Kabarilan, Kaibigan at Kakampi). The three headed hydra, presidential mouthpieces are of no help either.
The Rizal Park hostage crisis will forever hunt President Abnoy’s presidency. It just showed how unorganized and leaderless we are as a nation. His indecisiveness during the crisis caused the loss of several lives. He even has the nerve to smile in front of the cameras which, by the way, is the biggest insult you could ever haul to the grieving families of the victims.
President Abnoy says that he doesn’t micro manage. That’s his style of leadership but you can’t just implement a management style without changing the culture. That’s why we have change management even in the companies. As a leader you may delegate the authority but regardless of what your management style is, the Filipinos still believes that authority still resides in Malacañang. A leader has to do what it gotta do. President GMA did that in her 9 years in power.
No doubt, the hostage crisis is also a big embarrassment to us as a nation. It’s because the crisis, is the microcosm, a mirror of our broken nation, leaderless, helpless law enforcers, and mindless local politicians.
Last week, PGMA accused Malacañang of “nobody home” presidency and failure to build on the economic gains of her 10 years in office. Instead of addressing the issue, the Presidential mouthpieces throw accusations on the former leader. They resorted to name calling because they themselves knew that they could not answer PGMA. This is the kind of leadership Aquino is giving the Filipino people. By voting him into the office, I guess, we all deserve it.
