Filipinos are old hands in global fight against terrorism

TO punctuate the forgetfulness of the people at the Palace, our headline yesterday said “Palace calls on Filipinos to be vigilant--PH TO JOIN GLOBAL FIGHT VS. TERRORISM.”

This is typical of the mentality of BS Aquino. It’s as though everything that happens to him is happening in the universe for the first time. Every event is unique to him. It’s like a child in a sandbox lost in his imaginings or in his room playing one of those electronic war games. But the more awake Department of Foreign Affairs, run in its website a large headline in bold all caps but without an accompanying report under it: “PHL REAFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM.”
