Amigo: Please… Mr. President, stop!

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

THE die is cast.

First, the President explained to young students of Tarlac why the Chief Justice (CJ) should and must be impeached. Then the CJ challenged him to show it to the public his purported psychological records. And then the President let it out in the national media he has no psychological records to show.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

Alright, it’s not yet election time and the mudslinging from both sides are coming in landslide. Our question here is: Who has the bigger share to loose and who has the bigger share to gain?

Your guess is as good as mine: The Chief Executive has the bigger share to loose and that the Chief Justice only have to gain from all this for it seems, at this point of his impeachment trial, he has nothing more to lose.

Here is what we are trying to imply.

As a public relations executive, methinks the Chief Executive should act as the Chief Executive that he is quiet out there in Malacañang attending to the needs of the people while the impeachment trial is quietly churning. This way, people would and see and feel they are of utmost importance to him rather than the impeachment trial.

Aside from this, quiet that he is, he could alongside make quiet commands from his command post in Malacañang how he wishes the outcome of the impeachment trial would be.

What he is doing now is simply self-destructing or outright personal.

Please… Mr. President, stop. Stop from issuing statements related to CJ Corona’s impeachment.

A screaming banner story from a national daily on Monday’s issue was downright self-destructive. It said quote, unquote Nothing can stop me from attacking him (CJ)!

With that, the Chief Executive just got himself nothing a room in terms of a fallback position. No room to deny, no room to blame somebody else, no room for alibis. Meaning, if and when the result of Corona’s impeachment won’t be favorable for Malacanañg, it would be a loud and clear defeat for President Noy. Nothing more.

Unlike if the Chief Executive would maintain a quiet and reserved stance watching attentively from the sidelines, giving silent commands to effect a favorable judgment, President Noy would only have to gain more respect rather than reaping a lot of flak out of his talks.

This is the time to apply the “Less talk, less mistake” attitude.

We wonder how and why the Chief Executive’s communications people cannot give him a sound PR advice. For one, his political adviser in Sec. Ronald Llamas is a former media practitioner, not to mention his triad heads of the Office of the Press Secretary. If nobody can’t give the President a sound PR advice, who will?

And this would only mean one thing: They don’t care whatever happens to him!

Well, I don’t like to think that they are seeing something more unstoppable, earth-shaking that is about to happen that would change forever PH’s political landscape. The more he talks, the more CJ gains.

Hope this won’t go unnoticed.
