Castelo on P-Noy’s image problem

P-Noy has been the target of much criticism again especially that his latest poll surveys indicate a two-digit plunge thus confirming perception that his performance is below par.

In response to this, Rep. Winston “Winnie” Castelo of Quezon City had this to say, “It’s time for the President to explain his work ethic to the public to remove misconception of his lifestyle that has been the butt of ridicule even before elections”, Castelo strongly argued.

It can be recalled that then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has always downplayed poll survey results that likewise present poor trust and satisfaction ratings of her presidency.

And P-Noy is not exempted from this predicament since it is part of the territory.

“I believe there should be concrete aggressive steps to correct this image. But portraying him as working president should be equated with actions. Mere lip-service and press statements are insufficient”, said the administration lawmaker.

“You cannot fake efficiency to the highest position in the land where public eye is focused on him”, Castelo finally quipped. 30
