By YOUSCOOP TEAM, GMA News
(Updated 1:25 p.m.) People express in social media their thoughts after President Benigno Aquino III failed to attend the arrival honors for fallen PNP Special Action Force members at Villamor Air Base on Thursday.
Former President Fidel V. Ramos, Vice President Jejomar Binay, and top officials of the military and the police were there, but the President was nowhere to be found.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte clarified however that Aquino did not "skip" the arrival honors.
"The President did not skip the arrival honors today. It presupposes he was originally scheduled to attend it, which was not the case," she said.
Valte added that Aquino will lead the necrological services on Friday morning at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City.
Aquino, whose official schedule for Thursday states that he was in Laguna for the inauguration of a Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Plant, addressed the nation Wednesday evening regarding the clash.
