My Mom said Noynoy is weak.... :-(

Hello greenpeas, Yes, i completely understand what you are saying here. but please do understand also that people didn't chose the other guy just because they were cool in commercials or had affiliates. there's a deeper meaning, most specially to me. Let me just put up something about Gordon since you have something to say about it. regarding the SBMA, if he was really corrupt then let the legislation investigate, how come there is still none? the last chair who had a suspicious large amount of salary wasn't him. in his time, gordons salary was only 25k, deductable. if you're one of those who prefers a winnable and not principled candidates, there's nothing more to be said. I have moved on. but mistakes such as this makes me wonder what could have been, same goes to whom chose the other candidates. well, most people are TOO sensitive, who simply can't take the truth. just like he said "we react" we don't see reason. You're obviously defending this person who sole arsenal was his parents and the Media that sided him. i never said anything about putting down a country, just what my mom told me, how can i put down a country when i was just listening to her. I would always admire Richard GOrdon, because he was the only candidate that awakened me and I learned seriously a lot from him. something that people like you refuse to accept. you know the reason people react because most act like children who likes to pampered by candidates. i understand completely, but you can't make me like our President Now. most specially this mistake. instead of you reacting, i asked the question back "what do you think, should be done"? since he has a public number anway. if this happens again, i wouldn't mind calling gordon,asked him to intervene. that at least i would do. for the cops, they all know what to be done not to repeat their mistakes. anything else?

I agree with letranknight25. maybe his point was for you Not to put gordon on the topic when it comes to something negative because he won't allow, and will defend on gordon's stand. have you read the discussion, he even said lets move on and help the President. the point of this discussion is that "he listened to her moms ranting" and he said he couldn't further elaborate. but then you point out the gordon again? make sense. well, what can i say, it's life of another six years of surprises. this beats the hell out of me. men, too depress talked anymore.

Hi LetranKnight, the comment about people pulling down the country and the Gordon loyalty above else was not intended for you. It was meant for some here and other forums which I observed seemed to hold a grudge and mock his fellow Filipinos because Gordon was not elected as if we owe him that much. My point is...Election is over, time to move on. No more need to nag everybody how wonderful this country could have been if Gordon was elected.

I totally agree with you whereas we have a MAJOR MAJOR problem here. There are other important things to deal with especially our fellow Filipinos are being criticized and discriminated by the people in Hong Kong. I've already heard that some of them being fired because of our only one fellow man who killed tourists. Noynoy have been humble enough to apologized for the people who were offended by his facial expression. I believe he does not intend to offend anyone and yet he is also serious about the crime.

i believe due to cultural differences, we couldn't really say if it was a bad thing. but noynoy's smile really cause the crowd to get angry.

@blindmoongoddess: My sentiments exactly! i really really wanted to add more substantial comments, but... ...Can i go off topic? look at ninoy and cory (win?) then look at kris (epic fail?) then look at presi... can i be banned for this post?

I am a smoker, well you are right, the perfect one is not yet born, but i do not think so there is one! At this time, let us give the chance to be the one! There is no perfect being though, as long as we know he is trying to do his best for our country, such crises would come, it is inevitable.

I think criticisms may it be good or bad will help the president a lot. This will be the basis of his future decisions indeed. So we'll just keep on criticizing.

You have the point there, critisisms somehow helps him do better!

Hello Lien, you mean he made a huge bad impression about the Philippines.

Hello mspitot, well, i don't think i am in that position but i hope he chooses the right people next time.

Hello grayxenon, Well, He is still working with the red cross, i believe he can still do something even if he's not the President. I don't know about the media, they dont' seemed to care if they make a mistake or not. what they want is the story at all cost. if media is the new breed of corruption, who could we trust now.

Hello Zandi, Well, in my opinion it's too early to judge. but i must admit, this is his first major blow since he took office. but i think he was trying to be different because the past administration tends to show up to media all the time, just to show her presence. but i guess his approach fired back at him. in this country, No president has ever step down from power because of a mistake. unless they are impeach or people power again, they won't step down.

Hello Gorilla, well, this i believed is a first major blow against his administration for such a failed assault on the bus. because people did on that hostage situation. well, it was kind of disappointing, but i hope this doesn't happen again.

Hello reckon21, I agree, but some how my mom didn't like what turned out. but i never believed her to be a gordon type because she had always been a noynoy fan. until yesterday. yes, it's true, he is trying his best to do the right thing. but i hope when this time again comes, he would intervene, at least with a call. i couldn't even mylot because of the incident.

hello greedymoney. I guess you're right. it ain't easy doing so knowing that people aren't aware of it most of the time. and sometimes i get to do this because some people gets to know the news from mylot. maybe i should just be neutral and talked things that every can agree on.

Hello Kumar, thank you so much for that. well, i can understand that you have loyalty on your president. but i could say that try to understand if others have a different view. of course, going against them would cause the flame to go high. again, thanks.

Hello vhings, Well, the way I see it. they lacked proper strategy, even in crowd control. they allowed media to scoop mendoza's brother while being arrested. and that prompted the shots from him as the hostage taker. i think media should be banned while the negotiators and hostage taker are talking.

Hello diogz22, some believed that this is President Noynoy's expression in the face. but i think the people abroad most specially from the chinese people misintrepret his expression. i don't think he's smiling perse. but that's how it look liked. but you know if he is, at least he's doing his best being optimistic into these situations.
