Palace slams Aquino’s ‘politics of hate’

By Christian V. Esguerra – Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang criticized on Sunday the presidential bid of Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, saying the neophyte senator was merely running on a “platform of hate” directed against President Macapagal-Arroyo.

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde cried foul over the allegation made by Aquino and running-mate Sen. Mar Roxas that the Arroyo administration was corrupt and had no lasting solution to the country’s problems.

“That’s unfair but we understand (their comments) because Sen. Noynoy is running under a platform of hate against President Macapagal-Arroyo,” he said in the weekly Palace media forum aired over the government-run Radyo ng Bayan.

“Because he wants to replace the President, we expect him to always criticize her hoping that in doing so, he would get the votes of the Filipino people,” he said.

Before Noynoy run for presidency,Arroyo Adm.is already unpopular.The people dont like her and cronies the way they run the government.Why blame Noynoy if people hate them? They Arroyo Adm.is judge according to their action.How can they expect positive comment when people are jobless,hungry,dont have health insurance,cant send their children to school,but some in government are living lavishly.

Ramon Tulfo in one of his articles last week revealed that one time, he was confronted by an Ampatuan at the Ninoy Aquino Internatinal Airport. Ampatuans was surrounded with heavily armed men. He reported this incident to the First Gentleman and even asked why the Amputuans are allowed to bring escorts with high powered guns. The First Gentleman said, “pabayaan mo na lang yan mon, atin yan”. Now, with this article, we dont need Noynoy to hate the Arroyos and Arroyo administration.

Insecure sila. Kung alam nilang wala silang kasalanan, why bother with this statement? So what kung sikat ang nagsabi nito? Kung malinis talaga ang konsyensya nila, eh di huwag na lang nilang pansinin ang sinabi.

But I disagree with what Noy and Mar said na walang nagawa si GMA. Maganda ang growth ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas. Highest growth rate in Philippine history. Solita Monsod says so too. Natatakpan lang talaga ng controversies ni GMA ang kanyang achievements for the people to notice this.

@Reg. Tama sina Noy at Mar, ang highest growth na iyan ay sa papel lamang dahil overdraft pa tayo, malaki ang ating budget deficit. Pati GNP/GDP figures ay misleading din na kung bubusisihin mo, there is no equitable contribution, 20% more or less lang ang contribution ng 80% of the Filipino people while the other 20% or yung nasa class AB ang nagcocontribute ng almost 80% ng GDP at GNP. Meaning maraming middle class ang nalaglag sa DE class.

Kawawang Remonde,walang ibang magawa kundi ipagtanggol ang boss nya.Sigurado ako na mi critics din sya kay gloria,pero kailangan sabihin sa publico kung ano ang gusto ng boss nya.Baka sabihin nya na si Noynoy ang mi kasalanan na binato siya ng mga protester na mga journalist. Baka sabihin din nya na si Noynoy ang nagbigay sa mga protester ng bottles caps,grass and small plants na ibinato sa kanya.

@Engr. Jojo That’s were the problem comes in. Economic growth doesn’t always translate into welfare growth.
