The lunacy of De Quiros' articles and the extent of his attacks on Manny Villar really infuriates me to the high heavens! Here we have a candidate who wants - "to achieve the goal of a revolution against poverty" - this should appeal to De Quiros' leftist leanings? Right? Apparently not. He has the audacity to pose this question - asking his readers to ask their candidates - "What kind of changes are you going to make? Do you understand the poor people's needs? " He should ask this of his candidate! They keep talking about 'Change' - what change? The needs of the poor? Manny came from their ranks - what about Noynoy? At least, we don't shoot them when they demand what is rightfully theirs!
Mr. de Quiros has obvious issues with money. If he refers to Timothy 1:1 - "The love of money is the root of all evil." Not money per se, which is the commonly held belief. He views it as evil; it's evil to have lots of it. Hung-over from his Christian-Marxist poit of view if you ask me! He makes the assumption that all wealthy people have amassed it through evil means. Money is amoral, Mr. de Quiros. It is neither good nor evil. The difference lies in its use. Ask your boys - scions of two of the wealthiest families in the Philippines.
What does Noynoy stand for? Aside from the contrived 'Good Vs. Evil' storyline. A plot you are so passionately ramming down the collective throats of the Filipino people! Magpakatotoo na tayo!
How can you help the poor if you cannot help yourself? Why can't we dream of a wealthy Philippines? Empowered. Responsible for its own financial freedom and security. You've even coined 'Political Entrepreneurship' in one of your previous articles - its exact meaning escapes me. You attempt to sully entrepreneurship by associating it with the dirty world of politics. Manny does not espouse Rich Vs. Poor dynamics - what he espouses is something greater! A paradigm shift we are asking our country to make!
For Filipinos to start thinking like ENTREPRENEURS! Efren Penaflorida is entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, in action! On the contrary, Mr. de Quiros, he has not remained poor as you would like to believe. He is far richer than all of us. I'll suggest some reading materials for you to peruse so you'll be enlightened on the subject.
This is the salve to soothe the open sores of poverty! Entrepreneurial activity, thinking and development will drive our people and this nation to greater heights!
You are a perfect example of someone stuck in the 20th century - even if you read books using your kindle - in the Philippine context - you talk about 20th century concepts - Martial Law, Good Vs. Evil, Rich Vs. Poor (Class Struggles), Money (Both the abundance and lack of it) - we live in the 21st Century, last time I looked at a calendar, and we have 21st century problems. Poverty, poor education, little or no employment opportunites, environmental degradation, an inefficient bureaucracy, crumbling infrastructure...the list goes on. Noynoy, I'm sorry to say this, does not have the experience nor the capability to tackle this!
We were blessed with Cory the firs time round; we may not be so lucky the second time! To paraphrase marx, whom you've quoted as well - "History has a way of appearing twice, first as tragedy and second as farce."
Nothing personal. I owe it to the Filipino People. I need to inform them about the candidates in next year's elections. I cannot sit back and watch a media creation become president. Mr. de Quiros, Mr. Quezon, Mr. Esposo, take notice - I intend to provide the alternative to the blatant pro-Noynoy stance you have in your opinion pieces.
