In the theater of Philippine politics, where ego and power intertwine, we find Joseph Morong reporting on the curious case of Ramon Ang, head of San Miguel Corporation, and his stance on the renaming of NAIA to MIA. As SMC wins the bid to oversee operations, Ang’s opposition to the change raises eyebrows. If only he diverted some of his attention from boardrooms to social media, he might sense the overwhelming public outcry to strip NAIA of its pseudo-heroic facade. However, amidst this melodrama, a glimmer of hope emerges: Ang acknowledges the limits of his influence. For once, a titan of industry concedes that the fate of a national landmark lies not in his hands, but in the realm of law. So let us watch with bated breath as the saga unfolds, and perhaps, just perhaps, reason might prevail over ego.
Ah, the timeless tradition of critics turning presidential achievements into comedic fodder continues with Marcos’ foreign escapades. Labeling these trips as mere “pasyal” or junkets is as predictable as the rising sun. It seems critics have mastered the art of transforming gold into fool’s gold, turning fruitful engagements into supposed financial black holes.
But lo and behold, the outcomes of these escapades speak louder than the critics’ clamor. With pledges soaring to a staggering P4 trillion, billions have already materialized, proving that these trips are not all play and no work.
Take Marcos’ recent voyage to the Czech Republic, for instance. Despite the naysayers’ skepticism, the Philippines secured a crucial ally in its battle for sovereignty in the South China Sea. Now, we wonder how the critics will contort this undeniable success into another tale of wasteful extravagance. Truly, their creativity knows no bounds.
