TRIBUNE: Dr. Raquel Fortun also lamented at how Aquino is running his government saying it was much better during the time of former Pres, now Pamp Rep. Gloria M-Arroyo. "Arroyo's term may not have been spanking clean. But at least there was a sense that we were GOVERNED," she said, Fortun also noted a major difference between Aquino and Arroyo saying Arroyo was NOT AFRAID to face and CONFRONT any problem, but that Aquino is too allergic to hear any negative news.

"With former President Gloria, you throw all the problems at her and she WILL DEAL with them. But the one who is sitting now is ALLERGIC to bad news," Fortun said.

"So if your boss does not like bad news, you are out of place with him. Thus you also end up delivering only good news to him," she said.
