    damned if you do, damned if you dont.
    kapag asa mga binaha si noynoy, nagpapakitang gilas kuno at bakit andun at late na ang response.
    kapag wala, walang pakialam at inuuna pa ang ibang mga bagay kaysa sa mga mas kelangang ng prayoridad ng bansa.

    tao nga naman.

    On the positive side this courtesy is good. Erik will be a good ambassador for the Philippines.

    The bagyo and calamity might be president’s priority as well but ano bang silbi ng mga local leaders? Govt, councilors, Mayors.. Walang kwenta? Check them first.
