PNOY'S INSULT, ROXAS' PA-POGI ON ZAMBO CRISIS!

Fifty-eight civilians, soldiers and policemen dead and counting after six days and PNoy still HAD THE STOMACH TO INSULT, or should I say MOCK, evacuees from the Zamboanga City war between government forces and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighters.

While Interior and Local Government Sec. Mar Roxas DESPERATELY tries to LOOK CUTE in the eyes of the evacuees, by TAKING ON THE ROLE of another person to MAINTAIN MEDIA PRESENCE.

A story in inquirer.net quoted PNoy as telling evacuees at the Joaquin F. Enriquez Sports Complex earlier today: “Do not worry. We have your back.”

Read the story and you will NOT FIND ANY SPECIFIC BASIS for PNoy’s reassuring vow. As in NOTHING. There’s NO MENTION either of when, even tentatively, will the violence end. Or if there’s enough food and other basic needs should the trouble drag on

But PNoy still had THE NERVE to ask the evacuees not to worry.

Kahit na WALA PANG MAIPAKITANG SOLUSYON man lang sa labanan ang gobyerno niya hanggang ngayon. At NAGUGUTOM na at maaaring MAMATAY sa ligaw na bala ang mga evacuees anumang oras.

And to reinforce his INSULTING words of comfort, PNoy added: “We have certain things we expect of one another so that we can help each other more efficiently. Is that possible? Can we count on you?”

NANGANGANIB na nga ang mga buhay at gutom na, kailangan pang tumulong ng mga evacuees para matulungan sila ng PNoy government.

Take your pick: Relief distribution systems of PNoy’s government ARE DESPICABLY ANTIQUATED or officials are INDISPUTABLE PUBLICITY HOUNDS who are TOTALLY INCOMPETENT that they can’t do the job alone.

Publicity hounds like Roxas.

As you have probably noticed, boys and girls, Roxas has been the one presiding over media briefings or press conferences since the fighting started.

Even though PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING, it should be Defense Sec. Voltaire Gazmin or the Armed Forces chief of staff who should do so, since the battle is PRIMARILY being fought by soldiers, not policemen.

And the soldiers are UNDER GAZMIN, NOT ROXAS.

It’s the POLICE which is under Roxas. Policemen have joined the combat, yes, but they’re the AUGMENTATION FORCE, NOT THE MAIN COMBATANTS.

Roxas has NO BUSINESS updating the public on the progress of the offensive against the MNLF rebels. And since he surely won’t admit to being UNETHICAL or IGNORANT of his turf, his only logical and possible reason is MEDIA MILEAGE.

Kumontra na ang kokontra. 30
