Where is the plan, President Noynoy Aquino?

-
Where are we now? No one knows. We don't know whether we are coming or going or how far we are in our journey to whatever was promised to the Filipino during President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's campaign. All we know for sure is that 100-odd days have passed since we elected ourselves a new president. Beyond that there is no way of knowing how much has been achieved (a) relative to an initial baseline and (b) relative to an aspired-for target.

In other words, Mr Noynoy: Where is the plan?

How can you presume to lead if there is no goal to lead us to?

How can you presume to report to us if there is no baseline to report against?

How can you presume to take accountability when there are no specific initiatives defined as included in your reform agenda?

Without a plan:

(1) one cannot motivate;

(2) one cannot measure progress; and,

(3) one cannot take credit.

Perhaps, Mr President, not doing any of the above is your plan for the your 2010-2016 government.

    we've all seen how he's an expert at taking credit for something without basis. the odd thing is, he's never responsible for bad outcomes. it's always "the president was mad or disappointed with someone else for screwing up."

I keep reading about people encouraging one another to "pray" for Japan in this time of great tragedy after a massive earthquake and accompanying tsunami devastated its coastline and killed hundreds of her people. I'm not quite sure Japan needs our prayers. Japan is regarded as the country in the highest state of constant preparedness for earthquakes. As such, the disastrous earthquake that struck Japan is a tragedy, but one that is not tragic in the sense of it being a preventable loss of life.

Why not bury former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Filipino Heroes' Cemetery)? That is the question that came to light recently in the wake of the burial there of former Secretary and retired General Angelo Reyes, who was in the middle of being implicated in a big-time corruption scandal at the time of his death on the 8th of February this year. Marcos's son, Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr today "reiterated his call for the burial of his father, the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, in the Libingan ng mga Bayani". Television personality Karen Davila was quoted by ANC 24/7 as having quoted Bongbong saying that "if Angelo Reyes was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, my late father should also be buried there".
