This is for everyone who read the papers religiously these past weeks, riveted to the news of the systemic rape of the nation's coffers in the hands of those who "lead" us. This is for everyone who took pains to understand the workings of the mind of that unintelligible woman, trying to look for any sense of morality in her actions and found none. This is for everyone who has seen the plight of the poor, the very poor, who are unnecessarily denied the basics for human dignity while their money is used to throw extravagant parties overseas. This is for everyone who wakes up every morning for work, slaves in front of their computers, puts up with targets and deadlines to earn a decent living and to pay honest taxes.
We have reached the tipping point. The President is doing a good job, by far the best a President has done in recent memory. It's a good start, now let's go further.
This is the repentance of a nation from our favorite sin: loving money more than people. We will start from the hallowed halls of power because leaders are suppose to lead. We will end when we have loved our fellow Filipinos enough to take care of each other selflessly. This is a call to righteousness.
See you at Fuente!
