No. Public communication is not what we need.
Watching the news, one item is about Kris Aquino saying that what’s lacking in her brother’s “leadership” is communication to the public of what has been done in the past year. Then they showed how she and her sisters have been doing their share of charitable works to help their brother.
I don’t have anything against doing charitable works. I myself am involved in them sometimes. But one thing she should realize is that they don’t even have to involve themselves on doing that if her brother is doing the right job of reforming and ensuring that poverty is alleviated. If all parents can buy their children school supplies and afford sending them to school, she does not even have to use her talent fee to buy stuff for others.
I remember one or two of my college-orgmates tweeting that if PNoy is even serious of reform, he should’ve raised the minimum wage the way Filipinos would REALLY benefit or even prioritizing farmers’ welfare (e.g., Hacienda Luisita). I couldn’t agree more.
