PILIPINAS KAY GANDA: DAANG MATUWID

    Like a hot New York hotdog, President Aquino has dropped the Pilipinas Kay Ganda tourism campaign. This is Employee Number One responding to his bosses' order for him and his subordinates (or groupies) to come up with a better tourism slogan. (And in case of a collective intellectual atrophy, keep WOW Philippines!)
  President Aquino is doing it again: solving the problem of a beleaguered underling, coming to the rescue of his juveniles who traipsed over political landmines. This is his systematic way of sweeping issues under the rug while he blinds the nation with his phospororescent Cory aura. Mr. President, May I have the honor to burst the bubble: it's no longer working.
  The administration has even tried to downplay the whole event, insinuating that no public money has been spent on the campaign, with the brains behind it doing the service pro-bono.
  But a blog by journalist Ellen Tordesillas (link provided below) showed that at least P3 million had been allotted for it during the launch. P3 million is not loose change. It could have bought President Aquino decent dinner in New York. And it could buy hundreds of poor families three meals.
  As correctly pointed out by journalist Ira Panganiban in his Facebook post: Is this the "Matuwid na Daan" he had promised?
 Ano ba ang itsura ng daang matuwid sa mga lasing sa kapangyarihan?
