              Senator Francis Escudero is wrong when he said that I am critical of President Aquino and his administration because it is my role as House Minority Leader. It is my duty as a Representative and citizen to speak for countless Filipinos whose sentiments are not articulated and conveyed to Malacañang on the President’s lack of leadership and resolve to address pressing problems like the deterioration of economic and social indicators on human development.

 

              Senator Escudero fails to see or refuses to acknowledge the inadequacies of the President because of his alliance with the Aquino administration.

 

              The President’s incumbency of only one year is not a justification for a lackluster performance and failure to deliver his 16-point agenda relative to his so-called social contract with the people.

 

              Senator Escudero, like President Aquino, cannot keep on blaming the past administration for current failures. President Aquino inherited a sound and growing economy which he failed to sustain.
