NO REASON TO CELEBRATE PNOY'S 2ND YEAR!
Media reports said Pnoy marked his second year Saturdaym June 30, in office with little fanfare.
DAPAT LANG. MAHIYA naman siya kung nag-celebrate pa siya, dahil WALA namang dapat ipagdiwang. Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte claimed in a media interview that much has been achieved by Pnoy’s administration in the last two years.
But she could not cite even one of the supposed achievements.
Valte claimed that there has been genuine, meaningful change: “in the way government is run, in the way our country is viewed by the international community.”
Speaking of the way government is run:
Two years into the presidency and Pnoy DOESN’T HAVE EVEN ONE major infrastructure project to show as having been finished or started, and funded, by his administration.
No new road, bridge, pier, airport, no nothing.
And before anybody cites the conditional cash transfer program (CCT) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, that was started by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Pnoy’s government claims to have created millions of jobs. But it can’t even name a handful of the supposedly new employees or the companies who took them in.
The shortage in classrooms, teachers and textbooks are still in the tens of thousands while tuition remains sky-high. Instead of finding solutions to these problems, the Department of Education ADDED another one with two more years of elementary and high school education through the K plus 12 program.
There are now more than five million youth workers, three million of whom are CHILD LABORERS.
Despite Pnoy’s highly publicized war on corruption, not even one proverbial ‘big fish’ has been arrested and convicted. .
The ILLEGAL numbers game jueteng remains UNTOUCHED. Interior and Local Government Sec, Rico Puno was accused of receiving jueteng bribes but Pnoy IMMEDIATELY CLEARED him without ordering any investigation.
In the way our country is viewed by the international community:
On his recent visit to London, Pnoy WAS NOT GRANTED AN AUDIENCE by Queen Elizabeth. He wasn’t even welcomed by a member of the Royal Family when he arrived there.
In his meeting with US President Barack Obama, Pnoy was only given 30 minutes. Less than a week later, the US issued a travel advisory against the Philippines.
I just lost count but there have been quite a lot of travel advisories against us since Pnoy took over as president.
China has been openly bullying us for more than a month or two.
The US, with which we have a mutual defense treaty, can’t even give us a crystal clear assurance that it won’t abandon us all the way n case of armed conflict with China.
Neither has there been any unified call and aggressive moves from the United Nations toChina to stop humiliating us in the eyes of the world community.
Valte said the “government is now seen as a partner and not as an oppressor.”
Really? Then why is the rating of Pnoy on a STEADY DECLINE in the last few months? If that’s the case, Ms. Valte, then youre a partner who is getting more and more disliked by the other partner.
GGISING, MGA KABABAYAN!
