She’s now decidedly the most disliked President since Marcos. That’s in spite of her crisis doles: discounted rice at P18.50 a kilo, P500 per family that burns less than 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, another P500 per family that’s certified poor, still another P500 per needy senior citizen, discounted diesel, subsidized fertilizer, and whatever else gimmick.
NEGATIVE 38 percent ang performance rating ng madla kay Gloria Macapagal Arroyo nitong Hunyo, mas lumala pa kaysa negative 26 percent nu’ng Marso. Ito’y sa kabila ng pamimigay niya ng kung ano-anong limos na panakip-butas sa krisis: NFA rice na P18.50 per kilo, P500 kada pamilyang gumamit lang ng 50 kilowatt-hours na kuryente nu’ng Hunyo, P500 pa muli sa kada sertipikadong hikahos, at planong subsidy sa fertilizer at diesel.
