Not the boss at all

Noynoy says the people are his boss, but from all indications, buttressed by his anti-people statements, never does he listen to the voice of the people or do anything for them, despite their being in miserable straits.
And it is not just the common tao that is seeking relief, but even business and labor, given the high cost of electricity, gasoline, food, rent and all the essential goods and services combined.
The Filipino people have been asking for lower prices, whether in transportation or in electricity and gasoline, and various suggestions have been put forth by the public, such as, but not limited to, suspending the 12 percent eVAT on these oil products as well as electricity. Subsidy for transportation instead has been announced by the Palace to be cut off, as Malacañang claims that the subsidy is costing the government too much, apart from that stupid justification from the Palace that it is unfair to the non-Metro Manila taxpayers to keep on subsidizing the Light Rail and Metro Rail transits’ riders.
Even business is groaning over the high cost of electricity which makes it more difficult for business to prosper, not to mention putting off other investors who may have thought of investing in the country..... MORE

yan ang napapala kapag pinababayaan ang isang mandaraya de hocus pcos. wala po kasing utang na loob yan sa taumbayan kundi sa hocus pcos machines at kakuntsaba niya eh.
"The reality under the Noynoy administration is that it takes all it can from the people, but refuses to give back to the people. And even as they groan over the high prices, there goes Noynoy, spending tens of millions of dollars, for his junkets abroad, which are getting to be too often, he is getting to look like Gloria and her junkets.
"For Noynoy and his Peace Bond scam girl, Dinky Soliman, he is already giving back to the people by way of his conditional cash transfer program, of which he even brags about during his foreign visits, even claiming that this CCT has helped to bring the kids back to the schoolroom, despite the fact that his own Education secretary has admitted that the rate of the school dropouts remains the same and is even higher now, admitting too, that the CCT has not helped in bringing the children back to school."
