BUSINESSWORLD: Showbiz style of management Strategic Perspective Rene B. Azurin NEVER MIND that President Aquino's SONA was a kilo-metric, pat-myself-on-the-back recitation of the "accomplishments" of his administration; what is bothersome is the sense one is given that he hasn't been paying much attention to what has been going on in the country the past year. Otherwise, why did he make it sound like news that there is rampant corruption going on at such agencies as the BOC? Hadn't he been tracking this? It's almost as if his style of "management" consisted of holing up in a room in the presidential palace -- playing video games perhaps? -- until he is called upon by his handlers to read a speech or make a cameo appearance for the TV cameras. If management professors like me were asked to stick a label on this style, we could call it the "showbiz style of management."
JOURNAL: Lim, inakusahan ni Trillanes na nakikinabang sa smuggling
"Kung hindi n'ya masasabi 'yung mga powerful forces na 'yan, ibig sabihin tumatanggap s'ya. Nilamon na siya ng sistema," ani Trillanes sa ilang Senate media kahapon ng tanghali. Ayon sa senador, hindi na siya nagtaka kung nanatiling tikom ang bibig ni Lim na tukuyin ang mga powerful forces na sinasabi nito sa Bureau of Customs dahil sa mahigit tatlong taon nilang pagsasama sa kulungan, alam na niya ang kalidad ng pagkatao nito.

NINEZ CACHO OLIVARES:
If he bribes the congressmen to impeach a constitutional officer he does not like for the sole reason that he has been identified with the previous administration, IT IS HE who has weakened the high court's independence. Besides, even as Noynoy is being projected as incorruptible, he has already SHOWN his corrupt ways by BRIBING congressmen to do his bidding, through the release of the pork barrel.
TRIBUNE: NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO RESPONSIBILITY
If he continues to cover up through a whitewash of investigations on allegations linking his relatives, Cabinet secretaries and allies in an extortion racket, where goes his CLAIMED honesty and incorruptibility? If a publisher is HELD RESPONSIBLE for an alleged libelous report done by one of the newspaper's reporters, WHY NOT FOR A PRESIDENT of the Republic, and a cabinet secretary for his underlings' acts? Under the Noynoy government, accountability and responsibility DO NOT EXIST - especially when it comes down to Noynoy and his relatives, allies and party mates, not to mention his infamous KKK clique. Noynoy and his "straight path" allies are nothing but a big FRAUD.

MANALO - Presidential sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz finally broke her silence and ADMITTED she and her husband HAD BEEN to Prague, albeit, she denies they were involved in the the negotiations between the representatives of the Phil govt and Inekon, the Czech firm bidding for the MRT 3 expansion project. Why did she TIME her trip to Prague when the Phil delegation was also scheduled to make a trip there to meet with the executives of Inekon? DID SHE by chance, happen to meet the Inekon executives during one of her side trips there? And did she travel to Prague along with her first cousin, Jorge, who was intensely lobbying for the Czech firm? And where was Pete Prado in all these? Does hubby Eldon WORK in the same Prado office? Until then, she could not extricate herself from the issue.

MANALO - In fact, my friend Rolly says Noynoy might have even lost his other fingers as he now only has one finger left, his index finger. This finger, Rolly says, points to everyone but to Noynoy himself. He's clueless as always on what command responsibility means. My friend says Noynoy uses his index finger only on two things: one, to squeeze the trigger in his target shooting practice at the firing range; and second, to pin blame of his failures to others. Using his three years in office pointing to his predecessor for his government's ills, Noynoy now finds his index finger getting shorter and now has started pointing it at the people whom he himself appointed to their current positions. At the end of his term in 2016, my friend says Noynoy's index finger will be totally gone and so used up that he'll end up sucking his thumb to fill that gaping mouth and complete that "innocent look." Finally, a finger pointing at himself.

Issue: PNoy must account for corruption during his watch

The independent bloc in the House of Representative wants the Aquino administration to account for the continuation of corruption during its watch instead of looking at its predecessor.
INQUIRER: DORNILA
Kiss of death in 2016
- Given the volatility of shifting alliances and enormous issues confronting the administration over its performance, as spelled out in the Sona, it is not beyond contemplation that an Aquino endorsement could be a kiss of death in 2016.
