SECRETARY ROBREDO : A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A FILIPINO OFFICIAL WHO LACKS DELICADEZA

Instead of resigning from his post because of the shame that his office caused the whole nation, Sec. Robredo has the gall to ask for additional funds for his office from the national government. I consider it the height of stupidity and impropriety to ask for more money to fund such a useless organization. Instead of saving the president's face with his voluntary resignation, Sec. Robredo has further caused embarrassment to the president by insisting that he will not resign from his post. To add stupidity and incredulity to the whole situation, a facebook account has been put up by Harvey Keh to gather support for Sec. Robredo. If the same hostage drama and outcome happened in Japan or South Korea, officials would have immediately resigned without being told to do so. The whole hostage drama truly reveals the frailty of the Filipino people.
