For Deaf Filipino (Philippines only): deaf and dumb as idiom

President Noynoy say "Although I was born to famous parents, I know and feel the problems of ordinary citizens. We all know what it is like to have a government that plays deaf and dumb. We know what it is like to be denied justice, to be ignored by those in whom we placed our trust and tasked to become our advocates."

Jay explained the deaf people that P-Noy say about Gov't problem as play a deaf and dumb not included Deaf Community because some deaf people just misunderstand. That's why.,

See 1:54 Noynoy put helping verb, plays? It means "acts" Now, see lowercase (small letters) deaf and dumb? It not mean you Deaf. He continued with: "We know what it is like to be denied justice, to be ignored by those in whom we placed our trust and tasked...." The President was talking--like Jay pointed out--that in the past government department and agency who look in other way when Filipinos and Filipinas need attention, and act dumb when they cannot help you or don't know what to do. Got it?
