Gloria Arroyo Slams The LAZY Noynoy Aquino Government

June 25, 2011
Madam Congresswoman had drawn strength from her neck brace.
For the first time, EX-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo spoke up with regard to how Noynoy Aquino leads the government. In a press-con held today at Lubao, Pampanga Congresswoman Arroyo ranted and discretely critiqued her successor's style of leadership.
Amid the floods that are happening in Mindanao because of the water hyacinths that have blocked the rivers, Arroyo said she had left a fund for the Mindanao River Basin Project before she stepped off from the Presidency.

Now, Noynoy who doesn't want to pursue projects started by Mrs. Arroyo, allegedly did not exert effort to pursue the project. Gloria also ranted about the economy and corruption, citing statistics that compared the present with the past, obviously favoring her almost 9-year reign.

Malacanang's eyebrows raised. The semi-fierce but very intelligent Miss. Abigail Valte, the spokesperson from the Palace, lashed back at Arroyo by saying, the gist,  "Look who is talking."

“Despite her glaring absence from proceedings inquiring into her culpability and accountability as President, she has found time to try to obtain media mileage [amid] the current weather disturbance," Valte ranted

She then added, “We regret that instead of focusing on her constituents’ needs at this time, she is trying to hog the headlines in a gambit to distract attention from her past deeds"

So whose side are you on? If you'll ask me, both of 'em are below par.

I'm talking about Arroyo and Aquino.

Some even thought that Arroyo's neck-brace, then her sudden press-con, were all staged to gain sympathy when she spoke some things against the present administration.

Yes, Arroyo's reign was filled with controversy and corruption, but at-least I personally saw her performing her duties visibly, eagerly and she's always on the go.

Unlike Noynoy, forgive me for my language, but he seemed "lulugo-lugo." I don't see any enthusiasm. Yes, he's after for clean governance, but it doesn't end there. People need to see action and result. Now i don't see any!

For Ms. Valte to slam Arroyo by saying that she's just diverting the issue, I say it's unfair.

There's some "lesson" that you can get from her unsolicited political advice.

She's the former President, she knows, give her respect. After all, those allegations weren't proven yet.
