A perceived major ally of the new administration on Thursday accused President Benigno Aquino 3rd of taking the fall for five members of the Cabinet at present over a recent hostage fiasco that left eight Hong Kong tourists and the gunman himself dead.
“Peace be upon the whole Muslim community as you celebrate Eid’l Fitr today marking the end of Ramadan and welcoming the first day of Shawwal,” said the opening statement of the message of President Benigno Aquino 3rd to all the Muslim Filipinos who are celebrating the Eid’l Fitr.
