...Aquino slams typhoon response

http://gulftoday.ae/portal/615e3818-...35d56dfd6.aspx

Well I wouldn't say "slams" but hey that's media speak.

He's attempting (again) to deflect blame onto local authorities whose preparations he said had fallen short.
There's no-one could possibly have predicted the strength of the typhoon nor the strength of the storm surges.
In hindsight, the preparations were poor. But the buck stops at Aquino IMO and he prevaricated far too long......there were no local authorities to do anything...

Sorry all that's my position.

I think I read somewhere the uk has donated £53 million now.

[andy222]

Just my opinion but I think Aquino is a little embarrassed.

[Michael Parnham]

He's not embarrassed, he's no different to his sister!

[Arthur Little]

Let's face it ... ... "the buck stops" or ought to stop with the Presidential Head of ANY Republic.

's what he/she's elected for in the first place!
