The blameless president

Mr. Aquino has expunged several words from his dictionary of leadership. More than four years is enough to leave a trail and a compilation of his spoken and written words has unraveled the words that he has excluded from his preferred verbal and written word pool.

A tragic contemporary event has identified the number one word that he does not use and does not apply to his deeds as president. Mr. Aquino does not have the word “ humility” in his leadership dictionary. If there is one constant to his leadership that starts with the letter “H” it is hubris, tons upon tons of presidential hubris.
