The topic was kun saan si Mike during the height of the taifun and I think that was posted to elicit comments on such behavior. Hindi na question dito kung sino ang dapat tumulong or saan dapat tumulong - ang hinihingi ay reaction on such behavior of a public servant. Hence, comments will be subjective and personal dun sa nagbibigay ng comment.
Hindi paguusapan dito ang legality of the act dahil wala naman batas na nagbabawal bumili ng alak pag nasa tamang edad. Rather, it would be the propriety of the act or its morality.
Tulad ng pagkain sa LeCirque sa Nu Yok, wala naman batas nagbabawal na kumain ng marami or nagbabawal kumain sa restoran. Ang tanong dito ay propriety of the act being committed by a public servant at a time that the country is in a crisis. It is the same as the act of Emperor Nero in Roman times where he was playing the harp watching while Rome was burning. There is no law that prohibits playing a harp. In fact, music is soothing to the ears. But is it proper to play the harp and watch while your constituents are burning, their homes in flames? If your moral values can accept the fact and in all honesty admit that Nero was right to play the harp at that time, then, you can also say that Mickey has all the right to buy liquor at that time that taifun Onday was battering Metro Manila.
