If you had been in her shoes, with over a hundred thousand problems to deal with each day, with over a million tasks to do each day, wouldn’t you react similarly? An ordinary man’s time is, as they say, gold, how much more for a president of a country? If the presidents and CEOs of multi-million corporations would find themselves raising their voices and walking out of meetings that go berserk, with their people having nothing to present, no preparations made, what more the president of a country? They’re paid to deal with problems and find solutions to national issues and not wait for some staff to set up a teleprompter. If local celebrities, who have no right to act bratty with the staff and crew can be blessed with forgive and forget by people, why can’t a president’s reasonable reaction to a very irritating situation be forgiven and forgotten as well?

Our president is by no means perfect, you may prefer to call it very far from perfect even. But who the heck is? Ordinary people that don’t have the same weight on their shoulders can even act brattier, so why can’t we take a moment to understand and empathize with, the very tired and stressed out mind of a president? People are already criticizing her ways of running the country, isn’t it a bit much to be too critical of even her human reactions?

Maybe we could try to give her a break once in a while. I wonder how her ears are not yet broken from all the harsh screams of criticisms. Granted, people are not satisfied with her work. Who can satisfy a whole country? Isn’t it that whoever you put in a powerful position will always be criticized by one sector of the community, if not another. Her actions may be wrong, but understandable under the circumstances. Can’t we not make it forgivable as well? Do we need to broadcast to the whole world every negative thing she does?

when it comes to work and efficiency, i don’t think pagma demands any more from her subordinates than what she usually demands of herself. it’s the prerogative of a true leader. in terms of performing a job, i prefer a strict, uncompromising but fair, leader over one who is mapag-bigay, mabait, mapasensiya, maawain. it’s about time all government employees, whether civil servants or political appointees, who could not measure up must leave or be fired.

I dunno, but showing this “vulnerable” side of hers might do her good and gain some sympathy points from the public. We Filipinos tend to have a soft spot for people who are “nagpapaka-totoo” under stress, and she is under A LOT.

Well, I did sympathize with her. Am I a minority in this, again, I dunno.
