VP: Leadership by bad example?

TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. The president has set a good example for the rest of the nation to follow, that as a public servant, he will not use the sirens and will endure the traffic like the rest of his constituents. But the media caught on video the convoy of the vice president who, on his way to the office last Monday, ran through a red light and even made an illegal left turn even with the clear “No Left Turn” sign. When a reporter pointed this out to VP Binay, his excuse was, “Hindi naman gumamit ng wang wang.”

READERS REACT. A reader’s reaction was: “Hala, nisamot hinuon iyang violations. May pa’g nag wang-wang na lang siya, ma-excuse pa iyang mga traffic violations.” Another commented, “Naunsa na ni. Leadership by bad example? Mao ni ang gipakita niya nga sundon sa mga tawo?”
