A couple of days ago, an embarrassing scene was played on TV when a Filipino general was carried on by the boatman's back so he wouldn't get wet when he stepped out from a banka boat . If you can see on the photo the American officer on the other hand waded though the waters and stepped out from the banka without any help. See the symbolism on why the Philippines have problems ? Is this the right way a combat leader should behave? He should be known as a formidable battle man yet he is showing flaws of weakness by being carried through the waters.
I show no high regard for this kind of Filipino General . How could he win the war against the Abu Sayaf? Shame on him. I wonder what the American shoulder thought of him. "Bagong shine siguro ang sapatos ng lolo" (his shoes must be newly-shined) ..LOL..
