PNoy and the Power Distance Index
Great read by the unkabogable Maria Ressa:
According to multiple sources from the ground to the top of our security hierarchy, this was NOT a credible threat, but the attitude seemed to be to let the President have his way. After all, he’s the President. One source said, “Pabayaan mo na siya, Maria. Eh, siya naman ang Presidente.”

The Power Distance Index in the Philippines is probably why I find life as a fresh (well, it’s been 10 months) graduate difficult (at times). It’s probably also why my father freaks out whenever I disagree with his views/decisions.
“Don’t talk back to me!”
Bah, humbug.
