Miriam Defensor Santiago blasted the Aquino administration and accused it of failing to implement the reforms it promised six years ago.</p><br/><p>In her talk at the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) on Thursday, May 5, the solon said the administration’s ‘Daang Matuwid’ had become a symbol of disappointment for Filipinos because of the government’s numerous unkept promises.</p><br/><p>“The righteous path that the administration has campaigned on in 2010 turned out to be the ultimate frustration of the Filipino people,” the <a href="http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/783458/miriam-santiago-daang-matuwid-is-the-ultimate-frustration-of-filipinos">Philippine Daily Inquirer</a> quoted her as saying.</p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-middle"><br/><br/></div><br/></div><br/><p>As an example of the government’s failures, Santiago cited how it cannot even come up with an effective traffic solution in Manila.</p><br/><p>“<em>Pinangakuan tayo ng matuwid na daan, anong matuwid eh papuntang UST ang traffic ang bigat-bigat </em>[We were promised a straight path, but how could that even be if the traffic on the way to UST is so heavy.],” she said.</p><br/><p>Santiago also mentioned the administration’s failure to pass the Freedom of Information (FOI) and the Anti-Premature Campaigning bills which she lobbied and authored respectively in the Senate as more proof of its shortcomings.</p><br/><p>“The administration has failed to implement many reforms to curb corruption. These include the Freedom of Information Bill or Law, which I strongly supported in the Senate, and the Anti-Premature Campaigning Law,” she said.</p><br/><p>Santiago, a consistent dead-ender in the surveys, is gunning for the presidency for the third time. Despite her low poll standing, the feisty senator — a consistent favorite of students and the younger set of voters — remains optimistic she will win through the youth vote.</p><br/><aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main"></aside> <center> </center><br/><p><strong><a href="https://blockads.fivefilters.org">Let’s block ads!</a></strong> <a href="https://github.com/fivefilters/block-ads/wiki/There-are-no-acceptable-ads">(Why?)</a></p><br/><p><a href="http://kickerdaily.com/miriam-defensor-santiago-daang-matuwid-symbolizes-the-filipinos-ultimate-frustration/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a></p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br/></div><br/></div>
