MANILA, Philippines—His simple statement caused a media firestorm and it’s time for the jury of Netizens to deliver their verdict.

After Senator Serge Osmeña called ally President Benigno Aquino III “a good and honest man, but an awful manager,” on March 13, INQUIRER.net posted an unofficial poll and the Netizens have passed their sentence.

Of the 699 total votes, 395 people, 56.51 percent, said that they agree with the senator while 290 respondents, 41.49 percent, are on the other side of the bar.

A small portion, 14 of them, a measly two percent, could not decide if they would second Osmeña’s motion.
