Objectivity by which I mean “not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts” is often in short supply in the Philippines; too much time is spent on the “blame game,” most notably now in connection with the handling of the Super Typhoon Yolanda disaster but also in reports of the state of the economy and to a lesser but important degree, in some reader comments on an article reporting a letter purported to have been signed by 99 US congressmen asking President Barrack Obama to have a talk with President Benigno Aquino 3rd on the state of the Philippines nation, in particular with reference to corruption and the rule of law.
