The revelation of Senator Serge Osmeña last Thursday, March 13, 2014, has become the talk of the town after his press conference was broadcast on radio and television in real time and published in the national newspapers next day. What made the disclosure very credible is Senator Osmeña’s being a “key political ally” and a campaign strategist of President B. S Aquino III in the 2010 presidential elections. Actually, President Aquino had already demonstrated his “sterling” incompetence on his second month in office after his inauguration on June 30, 2010. This was in the infamous Hostage Incident at Luneta (Rizal Park) on August 23, 2010 when tourists from Hong Kong were unfortunately killed by a gunman, a desperate former policeman, because of the miserable mishandling of the crisis situation – as if this country had no president. In a parliamentary system, PNoy would not have lasted long as prime minister where he could be replaced by his own party or by the ruling coalition in matter of months. But then in the first place, the likes of Benigno S. Aquino 3rd would never be chosen as prime minister by his peers, the members of parliament (MPs) due to his lack of qualifications. The pathetic performance of Mr. Aquino on the Hostage Incident clearly showed that incompetence can inflict more harm or damage to a country and its people than the much-despised corruption under the administrations of former presidents Joseph “ERAP” Estrada and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The revelation of Senator Serge Osmeña that President Aquino is “a very poor manager” is certainly most welcome. The chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy also described PNoy and Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla as “awful managers,” saying that “we would not be having this of problems (power outages and price hike) if they were good managers.” It seems like he has had enough of the two former college classmates.
