MANILA, Philippines — With great power comes with great responsibility. Having served the country for six years, PNoy surely understands this phrase.
But while everyone adores a "superman," not everyone adores a leader. Leaders subject themselves to a certain degree of censure and criticism upon entering the office; and the brunt of these criticisms is heavier when you are the president.
Having stood as the commander-in-chief of a democratic country, PNoy was used to getting blamed directly for whatever it is that irked the netizens. More so, topping the news with disgracing headlines was a daily thing. But today is different.
PNoy became a trending topic today, for a reason that will tug at his hearts strings.
Netizens from all over the world took to Twitter to bid their goodbyes to the country’s 15th president with the most touching messages ever said to PNoy who was once the most criticized man.
suddenly felt the sadness. Thank you PNoy, I salute you for all the hardworks!
