MANILA, Philippines – Philippine Red Cross Chair Richard “Dick” Gordon on Tuesday blasted the government in a recent social media post.

On his Facebook account, Gordon posted a collage photo of some of the major issues the Aquino administration faced, namely the Metro Rail Transit problem, heavy traffic along EDSA, lack of decent jobs, the Hong Kong hostage crisis in 2010, the Mamasapano operation and rampant crimes.

Gordon asked government to show concern and take initiative in addressing concerns those concerns.

"Magkusang-loob, magmalasakit at magkapwa-tao" naman kayong mga nasa Pamahalaan. Sa traffic, sa MRT, sa SAF 44 sa Mamasapano, sa Krimen na lumalaganap, sa milyon-milyong OFW napipilitan umalis dahil sa kakulangan ng trabaho sa atin, na kadalasan mahirap para sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay,” Gordon said.

"Ibalik naman natin ang malasakit sa isa’t isa,” he added.

The former senator also commented on the issue of the Bureau of Customs’ directive to pry open some balikbayan boxes as a way to stop smuggling in the country.

He said government should not meddle in the contents of overseas Filipinos' packages for their families in the Philippines and should stop adding burden to citizens.

"Pati ba naman 'yung mga OFWs, papakialaman niyo pa yung mga balikbayan box nila para sa konting kaligayahan ng mga pamilya? Alalayan naman natin sila! Wala na nga kayong prayoridad, papahirapan pa ninyo yung mga hirap na hirap magsikap sa ibang bansa upang makaangat sa buhay," Gordon said.

Once a mayor of Olongapo City and secretary of the Department of Tourism, Gordon lost the presidential race in 2010 to current President Benigno Aquino III.
