Malacañang is trying too hard to put on a brave face, dismissing charges of Noynoy Aquino’s lack of leadership, insisting that there was no failure of leadership during the hostage crisis that ended in a bloodbath, leaving eight Hong Kong tourists dead and an undetermined number of injured, not to mention many traumatized by the tragedy.
Communications Group chief Sonny Coloma says that in the opinion of Palace, there was no failure of leadership. But hey, what is he expected to say, that indeed, there was a failure of leadership, as concluded by the Palace? Duh!
He was quoted in a TV interview as saying that “hindsight is the clearest of all visions…In our opinion, there is no failure of leadership. Our President was in position. He was exercising his role as a leader in the way he deemed fit, he is doing what the people mandated him to do.”
Really? Was that the mandate of the people? For Noynoy Aquino to be unavailable and inaccessible all throughout the crisis, and flubbing everything? He deemed this fit for a President?
