While the entire country is reeling from the destruction brought by typhoon “Frank”, our officials led by no less than Gloria Arroyo are enjoying their sweet time in the United States. They say its a working visit. Who are they fooling. They are just their for junket in the US and most of them are just hopping in to watch the Manny Pacquiao-David Diaz boxing fight live in Las Vegas this Sunday.  Never mind hundreds of lives lost in their homeland and millions more are suffering from the typhoon aftermath.  As long as the Manny Pacquiao wins, it will solve all the country’s miseries and tragedies.  A Manny Pacquiao victory will be a panacea to all our problems.

Which make me wish, Manny Pacquiao lose! That would comfort our countrymen for the utter lack of delicadeza of our officials, lead by Gloria Arroyo herself who might be hoping that a Pacquiao win will make people forget the insensitivity of this government in the midst of national disasters.
