I do not begrudge President B. S. Aquino 3rd his right to enjoy himself in Chicago and Canada, given the awful time he’s been having with us here at home. Free from the ridicule, insults and angry words that have been his daily fare since 44 Special Action Forces police commandos under his command were massacred by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. on Jan. 25, 2015, he deserves a few moments away from his critics where he could spin stories about himself without being mocked by anyone in the audience. I thought he was entitled to this, just as a sea bird caught in a storm is entitled to seek refuge in a crevice upon the rock surface.
