(Editorial) Pnoy's Love Life vs. the Economy Crisis
Being the president of the nation, you have a lot of things to consider; economic growth, political issues and anything that will help to make the country develop and to be successful. You can see different issues about our president in any tabloids and broadsheets discussing Philippine issues and governmental problems. But what is happening now is the other way around? Media are much more interested on PNoy’s love life; people are getting anxious to what is happening in his love life. Does anybody cares? No wonder, the president of the Philippines called several press conferences not for the important issues about the economy but to maintain his reputation when it comes to love life. Pertaining to his, like a coca cola, “zero”. There are a lot of news that should have been discussed like the poverty of Filipinos, the health welfare, the lack of natural resources, the increase number of population of immigrants all over the world and the high rate of unemployment. Issues like this should not be announced in public, this is a private thing and nobody cares what’s happening in his love life. Whether he is getting married or not. He rules the Philippines but still he’s not a star, and actually he is not aware of the problems in the Philippines. He loves to go around the world, go to different places in times when he is needed the most, during the calamities and crisis, like the latest typhoon that hit the Philippines. I believed that he enjoyed a $2 hotdog and a bottle of coke at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 45th street near his hotel in New York, good PR? Or what? Another is the tourist bus hostage, he had made absolutely no effort to take an active interest in the case, never mind that it was a high profile hostage-taking scenario involving foreigners. From that alone, Noynoy should have dropped everything else in order to ensure that this incident would end up resolved with all hostages surviving. See? There are so many to discuss instead of setting

But despite of the impressive growth figures of our economy, the Philippines still faces the challenges. Here are some of them; global slowdown, excessive capital inflows and natural disasters. It said that it can negate the gains and even push back the development of our economy. Meaning there are still many factors that can affect the faster growth of our economy. In job creation it has been taking less attention which explains why there are still more jobless Filipinos than it should. It’s a good thing that the government was urged by economists to diversify the economy by revamping the educational system and also produce employment opportunities in manufacturing. It can really help those lack in employment and education if there are more opportunities waiting for them. It is the most important thing that everyone needed and our country needed.…

    Cuisia told radio station dzBB there is a possibility that Obama might put off foreign trips until the deadlock is resolved. Obama is set to visit the Philippines on Oct. 11 and 12. “I hope Obama’s visit to the Philippines will not be affected by the shutdown, but we can’t be sure of that. The US President may think that he should be in the US,” Cuisia said. The Philippine embassy has not been advised by the US State Department of any change in Obama’s plan to visit the Philippines. Obama has included the Philippines in his tour of member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It will be his first visit to the Philippines. Cuisia said the partial shutdown could result in the layoff of civilian federal employees, but will not affect critical services such as the military, security, and air traffic controllers. However, he said there should be no effect on social security and Medicare benefits. He also said the shutdown will have no immediate effect on Filipinos in the US. However, he said Filipino-Americans working in government offices included in the shutdown might be affected. Surely the DFA will update us should any notice be given,” Valte said. Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office Secretary Ricky Carandang said “Obama would be in Manila after he and Aquino attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bali, Indonesia and the ASEAN meeting in Brunei”. Carandang said he could not discuss yet, however, the details of the Obama-Aquino meeting, since he does not have a copy of their schedule, but admitted part of the agenda is the “rotational presence” of US forces in the country, as well as trade. Finance Secretary Cesar…
