Emperor, empress in Manila

Aquino doesn't deserve to be standing with Royalty.

And why not , sensei258 ?

In the Philippines, he is known as "AbNoy" or abnormal Pinoy . He is well known as an inept puppet of his advisers who only won election because of his family name.

Unlike the emperor who suceeded to the throne because...? In this case the Emperor of Japan happens to be a truly great man, but he'd still be emperor if he was a war-monger like his pops, and solely because of his name.

I have a lot of respect for his mother, but as for the son.....

@sensei258, if Noynoy is an abnormal Pinoy, most of us gaijin are branded as hen na gaijin which when translated may mean strange foreigner or someone beyond what is normal hence abnormal gaijin. there are politicians worldwide who won because of political names. Let us not be too personal. He has his weaknesses being not a seasoned politician. I f only he has the wisdom and experienced of his father, then he could have been the best the Phils has ever had. But pls no personality attacks. @pukey, I admire his mom for accepting the transitional position then. Otherwise, so many critics were against her too even during her time. Guess, it's very easy to criticize people at the top than offer solution to problems.

I am a FILIPINA ....most of us don't call him Abnormal. I think you should be careful with the words you utter.

Are we talking about the Aquino or Akihito..?

How can you speak for most Filipinos? Did you personally ask all of them? I merely said he is known as AbNoy in the Philippines, which is true. You should be careful with the words you utter.

Actually, you insinuated he is not deserving of his position and not credible because he inherited it through family name, and as such he does not deserve to be meeting with royalty -- royalty who inherited his position through family name. Hence, not only being hypocritical, but also being moot.

How can you speak for most Filipinos?

Its really easy. Ya just open your mouth, and insert your foot...

@sensei258 and how could you speak for the royal family ? @ Black Sabbath cool comment

And yet when a few women come forward to ask for apology and compensation you deride them, saying, "so now the government has to pay ALL Filipinas?"

Once again you are putting words in my mouth then attacking them. Better go back and check my post. I didn't say what you are accusing me of
