Yup! Better to beautistic than corrupt!
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo (The Philippine Star)
The 2010 presidential election campaign frontrunner, Senator Noynoy Aquino, is extremely lucky in that his rivals are going about their demolition efforts in ‘The 3 Stooges’ fashion. If the objective of propaganda, regardless if legit or black, is to erode a political base then Noynoy’s rivals are failing miserably.
It is really very difficult to erode Noynoy’s political base simply because there is hardly any strong issue that can be raised against him. Ergo, we see a lot of the black propaganda being disseminated on cyberspace where there are no professional editors and editorial standards to correct wild, mean and baseless accusations. Some of these lies eventually land in the commentaries of known media mercenaries.
Take the case of the dumb attempt to label Noynoy as autistic. Of course, Noynoy will be foolish to even dignify such a wild charge with a lengthy response. He is simply not autistic and that’s that.
But then that is Noynoy. That is not what Pinky Ong-Cuaycong felt. Pinky happened to have a son who is autistic and took the issue to task.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."
