No difference between student Aquino, teacher Arroyo – Bayan

The student is no different from the teacher.
This was the stand of the BagongAlyansangMakabayan (BAYAN) on the
exchange of insults between Malacañang and the camp of former president
and now under hospital-arrest Pampanga representative Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo.
Macapagal-Arroyo through her supporters, recently released a supposed
study on the current state of the economy. In it, the former
executive now charged with electoral fraud and corruption alleged that
the Benigno Aquino administration has wrought damage to the economy
through unintelligent mismanagement. The title of the paper was “It’s
the Economy, Student!” referring to Aquino being Macapagal-Arroyo’s
former student in a course on economics at the Ateneo University.
“Neither the President nor anyone else can truly expect to govern the
next five years with nothing but a sorry mix of vilification,
periodically recycled promises of action followed by lethargy, backed up
by few if any results, and presumptuously encouraging gossip about
one’s love life in which no one can possibly be interested. Given the
electoral mandate that he enjoyed in 2010—the same size as mine in 2004,
as predicted by every survey organization at that time—our people
deserve more, and better, from him,”Arroyo wrote in her paper.
For Bayan, however, there’s no difference between the current
president and his predecessor. Case in point, the group said, was how
both administrations have done nothing to stop the incessant problem of
excessive oil prices and continuing price hikes. Oil companies recently
raised their pump prices by as much as P2.00 (US$0.05)per liter. World
gasoline prices have already increased by around P1.75 (US$0.04) per
liter while diesel prices rose by around P1.30 per liter in the
international market.... MORE
