For all his fiery inaugural address, President Benigno Aquino III seems to have chosen the path of indecisiveness especially on important issues such as justice, expanding democracy, human rights, and even his banner issue corruption.
“Sa mga nang-api sa akin, kaya ko kayong patawarin at pinapatawad ko na kayo. Sa mga nang-api sa sambayanan, wala akong karapatan na limutin ang inyong mga kasalanan.”
“To those who are talking about reconciliation, if they mean that they would like us to simply forget about the wrongs that they have committed in the past, we have this to say: there can be no reconciliation without justice.”
