I don't want to touch this subject with a ten-foot pole.Think I've had enough,but I'm getting "swamped" with emails from my loyal "fans" composed of my mom (who sent the same email,I think ten times),relatives and close friends.They have asked me to write something about the facial expression of the President while being interviewed about the hostage crisis.Since when did i become a face expert to tell how one should react to situations like these?Finally,I gave in.Reviewed the interviews,well have to admit that the President kinda showed a nonchalant stance.A look which got him much flak,especially from foreign press.One even wrote that "the President of the Philippines' grinning like a dog".To be fair,PNoy (as we fondly call him) answered with "I smile when I'm very happy and I also smile if I'm frustrated and angry". Like in the song "Smile,though your heart is aching..." I watched the news last night and the political allies of former President Gloria Arroyo ranted on how the President handled the first major crisis under his administration,and gave him an F,from time to time flashing dog grins too.Think I'm going to shed "crocodile tears" now. =)
