It seems to me that the president was not direct and straightforward with his answer to the people's questions. Was it an admittance that he was indeed out of the country at the time?
What is wrong with admitting that you were on an official mission somewhere before the storm came and heaven knows what havoc the storm will bring to the country? Offering a joke to counter the wild accusations ... and supporters spinning the situation that he was in Ilocos is an insult to the intelligence of Filipinos. Marcos instead of saying Welcome to Hokkaido should have been truthful about where he was at the time. Not saying anything ... may be misconstrued as an admission of guilt.
