Swaggering, gloating Pinoy officials most incompetent in poverty reduction

The blandest reports from the UN often provide the most brutal counterfoil to swaggering government leaders who act and talk as if they were some colossus who have saved their countries from a perennial scourge and universal source of misery – massive poverty. It is these reports , notable for their neutral language and obvious lack of partisanship, that strike a dagger into the reputations of leaders who claim greatness based on benchmarks that have very little to do with lifting human lives.

Like Mr. Aquino’s claim that he has done great things and these things need continuity.
