A QUESTION ON PNOY'S RESPECTABILITY

For this piece, allow me to ask you guys a question: Is PNoy regarded highly by his fellow heads of state?

Personally, I don’t. Consider these three humiliating incidents:

In the recent ASEAN Summit in Cambodia, PNoy’s call for a common stand on the Philippines’ territorial dispute with China was CATEGORICALLY REJECTED by his fellow ASEAN leaders.

The Philippines is supposed to be one of the closest allies of the US in Asia. But US President Barrack Obama SKIPPED our country in his current tour of the region.

With NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.

If you will remember, PNoy was only given a 30-minute or so audience by Obama when he was received at the White House a few months ago.

Most of all, PNoy was NOT GIVEN AN AUDIENCE by the Queen Mother at Buckingham Palace on his visit to the United Kingdom sometime in June this year.

And let’s not also forget the numerous travel advisories various countries have issued against us since PNoy assumed power.

Before any smart-ass PNoy fanatic asks: So what?,” think about this:

If PNoy enjoys little or no regard at all from his fellow rulers, then we can’t be sure that other heads of states look up to us with the respect any human being deserves.

More importantly, if world leaders have little regard of PNoy, then there’s no assurance that we can get whatever help we’ll need from other countries as fast as possible.

Help with no UNREASONABLE TERMS or conditions, and with genuine concern and wholehearted support for our common good. Whether PNoy likes it or not, WE NEED THE SUPPORT of the world community.

WE NEED THEM MORE than they need us.

The world communityis the one who can really ease, and eventually help solve our country’s problems.

And NOT THE LEFT which PNoy has been PERSONALLY vouching for.30
