The Philippines has a lot of stupid gun control laws, so it’s surprising President Aquino is described as a gun enthusiast:
“Merely good enough is not enough,” the President said Thursday after sharing his experiences as gun enthusiast and car lover during the Philippine Quality Awards (PQA) held at Malacañang.
Aquino recalled the times when he would accompany his mechanic to buy spare parts in Banawe Street, Quezon City.
“I was thankful for having a mechanic who was very adamant about fake parts, because the price should have been already a warning that it might be too good to be true—that the product would probably fail when you need it the most, and compromise your safety,” Aquino said in a transcript provided to media.
He also mentioned one instance when he had his shotgun “fine-tuned” only to be shocked when the expert he was referred to pounded the shotgun’s magazine tube with a hammer. While it achieved the purpose, the President said he felt it had depreciated the gun’s value.
Such experiences have led the President to appreciate the importance of quality and excellence, especially when it comes to organizations.
