I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would want to invite President Benigno Aquino 3rd to be the guest speaker at a celebratory occasion. Speaking at the 114th anniversary party for the Manila Bulletin last weekend, the president revealed he is no more able to stick to a New Year’s resolution than anyone else, dropping his earlier vow to “ignore” his media critics and using the occasion to hurl insults at them, calling them “irresponsible” and saying they “trump up the worst news possible,” “raise blood pressure,” and “cause despair.”
