Digging himself a deeper hole By Alejandro Del Rosario | Posted on October 30, 2013 Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”—Confucius. This is wise counsel President B.S Aquino, who has Chinese blood in him, should well heed lest he reap the whirlwind of a perfect political storm.Aquino has already eroded three years of his presidency by focusing his attention on perceived enemies instead of harnessing all the resources of government to unite a deeply divided nation. At the rate Aquino is going, he’s gaining more enemies and losing friends.The latest dropout among Aquino’s allies is former Senator Panfilo Lacson who delivered a scathing speech last week before the Philippine Constitution Association unmasking the administration’s “ugly side.” Philconsa is one of the petitioners questioning the constitutionality of the Disbursement Acceleration Program before the Supreme CourtLacson assailed Aquino’s fiscal dictatorship through the patently illegal use of the Priority Development Assistance Fund and the Disbursement Acceleration Program to bribe senators and congressmen to follow Malacanang’s agenda,With his Philconsa remarks, Lacson burned whatever bridge he had to Aquino as he dismissed any prospect of a position in PNoy’s government. By doing so, Ping himself slammed the door on Aquino and not the other way around.
