It’s hard not to notice that the President wasn’t at Villamor at the arrival of the coffins of the Fallen 44. And when people learned where he was (in Laguna, inaugurating a manufacturing plant), they were quick to voice out their disappointment online. On Twitter, the hashtag #NasaanAngPanggulo quickly trended and then topped the trending list worldwide. Facebook didn’t miss a beat. Check out some of the best commentary we’ve seen below:
Attending a car show instead of being part of the families who lost their loved ones in Maguindanao. Not cool at all. #NasaanAngPangulo

The Mitsubishi plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna is only 30 mins away from Villamor Air Base. Faster if you have police escorts. #NasaanAngPangulo
