PHILSTAR - A Good Year?
- Maceda
President Aquino issued a New Year's statement saying 2011 was a "good year". How can it be a good year when the GDP growth is less that 4 percent, the lowest in the region? How can it be a good year when 5 destructive typhoons hit the country causing more than 3,000 casualties and over P5 billion in damage to crops and property? How can it be a good year when the NPAs are inflicting heavy casualties on government forces all over the country, raiding mining companies while peace talks are bogged down with the Abu Sayyaf ambushing a Special Forces platoon in Al Barka, Basilan, killing 19 and wounding 23?
