MANILA — Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said that if there is someone to blame for the President Aquino’s plunging ratings, it should Malacanang’s communication team and not the media.<\/p>\n

The senator added that the sensitivity of the Mamasapano issue should have triggered the team to craft a more meticulous messaging in communicating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s their fault. They are the communications handlers of the President. They should be the ones reining him in. If they know P-Noy is very emotional, they should stop him from speaking. Their messaging should be very deliberate. It\u2019s a very emotional issue, highly charged,\u201d Trillanes told reporters in an interview for the Philippine Daily Inquirer.<\/p>\n

He added that President Aquino’s public statements following the incident made things worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more the overall strategic communications\u2014who will say what and so on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trillanes also said that Aquino’s step on taking the blame for the failure of his staff aggravated the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is P-Noy takes the fall for the failures of his staff,\u201d Trillanes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not the one who killed them. He\u2019s not a thief. He\u2019s not a bad person. So in the long run, people will start asking again why they are angry at P-Noy. They won\u2019t remember because it won\u2019t stick. He himself did not do these things. These are just propaganda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Trillanes still believe that Aquino’s ratings could still recover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
