The main qualifications of BS Aquino in choosing his men: PAKIKISAMA. No outstanding capabilities or intellect whatsoever. Because of their amateurish and student council-like advice, death of its citizens in Sabah and Mindanao secession are looming over the country like a sword of Damocles. DAMUHONG PANGULO!!!

PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL
Here is a situation where the property owner is barred by the tenant and threatened with violence. To his dismay, the owner is then scolded by the President who, by all indications, happens to be a great friend of the tenant. ON WHOSE SIDE?: Pres Aquino should decide once and for all if he is for Malaysia or his fellow Filipinos, and then walk the talk. Of course the President has to maintain friendly relations with Kuala Lumpur even when it is clear that the cunning Malaysians - aided by British and American official operators - are pulling his leg.

For more than three weeks, we did not have a consular team on the ground. The DFA was getting information second-hand. We had no diplomat available to negotiate with the armed Filipino group, perhaps to relay messages from the office of the President. The crisis may have ended earlier (and peacefully) if we had a consular team deployed near the line of confrontation - and if the Palace paid the crisis the executive focus it deserved. That is now academic Blood has been shed. Malaysian security forces were humiliated and will want to get even. Kuala Lumpur is irritated and will tend towards draconian measures.

Dating First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, sinabi na na-shock si dating Pang Arroyo na siya ang pinagbibintangan na nanggagatong sa pamilya Kiram sa lugar ng Sabah. Ayon kay Ginoong Arroyo, lumabas na sa Court ng Sandiganbayan na lahat ay ibinibintang sa kanilang mag-asawa at hindi na siya nagtataka kung sakaling ibintang din ni Pang Aquino ang pagkamatay ni Jose Rizal sa kanilang pamilya. Ayon kay Ginoong Arroyo, walang basehan at hindi raw dapat intindihin pa.

"Ang problema ni PNoy ang sabi ko nga medyo kulang dun sa nuances in foreign policy. It is not his strongest suit. You do not negotiate in public.

Bumalik na kayo dito. Ipaglalaban ko ang claim niyo, He did not do that. What did he says? You are outlaws? You are criminals. When you come back here, lagot kayo," he said.
