Two faces of Leadership in the Philippines: an Aquino versus a Binay style of leadership

" I give up", says Aquino on the fates
of the three Pinoys to be executed in China

The Chinese government decided to execute by firing squad--three Pinoys, one of them, a woman. This woman, according to sources, is really innocent. That package found on her was never hers--it was just given to her by a Filipino compatriot. Her generosity will cost her, her own life and the future of her three young children. 


That Pinoy compatriot is to appear before the NBI by today. Meaning, this Pinay is really innocent.


A countdown has been set. They only have at least three days left. 


President Noynoy Aquino has just given up on these Pinoys. Even  the Department of Foreign Affairs. The DFA even told us to just pray for the lives of these OFWs. 


Aquino and almost every single soul there at the DFA have given up. Aquino even told us that it is very hard to plead for the lives of the three OFWs since their cases are drug-related. 


Aquino, probably, did not read the entire case portfolio. You might be charged with something, but if the pieces of evidence proving you innocent are strong, then, it should be the duty of the Chief Executive to fight for you until the end.


Not with Aquino. If you're charged with something as serious as a case of drug muling, you might as well just give up and allow foreign governments to kill or execute you. 


This is what Aquino told us. 


Probably Aquino is so enamored with playing with his Xbox 360 or PSP that he forgot to read the three Pinoy's case files. 


Likewise, Aquino gave an excuse---he was trying to call President Jintao, but the Chinese counterpart failed to return call. How flimsy an excuse.


This is totally different with the Vice President.


Binay is flying to China today to plead for the lives of the three victims of drug syndicates. Binay did not assume anything for or against the three OFWs. He just decided to go to China and do everything in his power to at least save the lives of these Pinays.


Compare---a leadership of an Aquino and one of Binay. Who is the more efficient? Who acts as a leader between the two gentlemen?


If, at all, Binay fails, at least he did his best.
