POSTSCRIPT By Federico D. Pascual Jr. The Philippine Star MISSING IT: On whether or not President Noynoy Aquino should visit (he did yesterday) the flooded areas in Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac, the sad short answer is: He missed it.

The most stupid of all is that statement that the President did not want to immediately visit the typhoon-struck areas because Read More …

Herrera Manila Standard Today Angry residents express outrage over the slow response of officials in charge of relief and rescue operations PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III has not been seen since he got back from Japan even as the provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Pangasinan remained submerged in floodwaters. The public and affected residents were outraged by the slow response from Read More …
