How the tables have turned. When President Aquino first assumed the presidency, the air was rife with bold predictions of a country transformed, of a nation made prosperous by the absence of corruption. Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap. That was the slogan.

When President Aquino went around the caskets bearing the remains of fallen members of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force at Camp Bagong Diwa to distribute medals of honor to surviving relatives, a sweeping sense of quiet anger and resentment was very palpable. Not everyone shook the hand of the president. And there were some who did not take the medals handed to them, prompting the president to put them on top of the caskets himself.

When President Aquino said it would be the fault of Senator Serge Osmeña if the looming power crisis hits the country in summer as expected, he only proved Osmeña right in the first place. Osmeña has said Aquino understands nothing about power and criticized the president for allowing himself to be played by those who do not understand power either.

When President Aquino said Vice President Binay was free to leave the Cabinet, he did not exactly fire him. But he was not just giving a hint, either.
