PNoy and the Guy

December 22, 2011 | 12:00am

PNOY’S FLAK. The flak that PNoy is suffering from triggered by a rumor that he was having fun partying while hundreds were dying in Mindanao brings back to mind the kind of President Ramon Magsaysay was.

CONCERNED. A story continues to circulate until now that Monching (his nickname) drove to a fire scene in Manila to help firemen fight the fire. He did not just watch the firemen do their thing, he actually handled the fire hose and trained it on the blaze. He was still in his pajamas as he was about to go to sleep when he heard on radio about the fire.
