No more apologizing to Chinese—Noynoy

He said “enough of apologies” has been made to the Chinese people, and he will no longer offer apologies for the botched rescue operations, but President Aquino appeared to be apologizing for his officials’ incompetence as shown during the hostage incident.
An evidently “rehearsed” Aquino holding a Palace press conference yesterday was clearly a damage-control move in the mishandling of the hostage crisis situation, but this appears to have wreaked more damage, as his addressing these issued before three broadcast anchors backfired.
Explanations from a President on what occurred during a crisis do not come about three weeks after the fact.
He would have been rehearsed fully by some of his aides on what to say, and address these criticisms while portraying himself as a “hands on president” who showed leadership during a crisis, even if he remained invisible and inaccessible and even as moment to moment on live broadcast, it was already clear that the police team was botching up the job, such as the many times the hostage taker could have easily been taken down.....
