Noynoy Aquino on tax collection, contradicting himself  

* I believe Richard GOrdon has done and said it all to WARN US about Noynoy Aquino. he won't be bashing or criticizing him if what he's been saying aren't facts. besides, i see no candidates throwing back at him because they knew they couldn't throw any. even the media (ABS CBN) knows it so they killed his exposure. am sure Sir gordon is busy with the Red Cross now et.al. not to mention he's busy with his own face book

He have already given a statement in front of the camera, and yes, we should wait until Aquino really raises that up. The thing about this though is Noynoy is giving out statements and later on changes his mind and contradicts what he has said. It's not a good trait for a president even though he still haven't acted it out yet. He's sending the wrong message to the people, he's not a man of his word so to speak.

He should be specific in this increase tax, i don't business people don't like leaders not true to they're word.

You may be right on that he is changing is mind but I think we should also try to look at our past presidents as well. They commit the same mistakes because presidents are also humans. We may be overly critical at him right now which is not bad but we should first allow him to do his act and maybe in the future he might get it right. His term has not started yet and all of this are pure speculations.

I'm actually giving him that span of time to really assess what kind of administration he'll give but it seems that right now, what he did was to really contradict himself. It was not just rumors because Noynoy Aquino himself was interviewed on television and he said that he might consider increasing the tax rates. For me, I've got nothing against increasing the tax rates as long as it's all for the good of the country. One thing that concerned me is Noynoy contradicting himself. Noynoy should be more cautious in giving out promises or statements because it will definitely backfire. I'm seeing this possible scenario. With what he's done (contradicting himself), it will be used by the opposition against him and that won't be good for his administration and the Philippines as well. His attitude might hamper the Philippines economically. Who would want to make a deal with somebody who can't live up to his own word in the first place? I hope that as time goes by, Noynoy will change and live up to expectations expected from an ideal president (at least close to it). Seriously, I'm seeing a major character flaw in him and good if he's the only one affected but unfortunately, the whole Philippines is.

Yeah, I think most presidents commits that kind of mistakes, and it could not be avoided at many times. We can see GMA has this kind of mistakes herself as well as other presidential candidates around. For now, I would allow such mistakes but when he is already seated he should take note of his reactions to certain things.
