Dear Gov. Ed Panlilio,
I thank you for offering yourself to serve as governor of Pampanga. You did it because no other decent person was willing to offer oneself to redeem your province from the grimy clutches of corrupt politicians. You entered into the wily world of Philippine politics as a sacrificial lamb ready to offer your life & all in the service of your people.
I wished somebody with the same selfless dispositon and exceptional courage did it in my province of Batangas or in Quezon City where I reside. When you made that decision, you only showed that you are a genuine disciple of Christ. That you are ready to face all the snares & dangers of politics to serve God in your neighbor, is for me the most pristine form of priesthood.
With your decision, you brought honor to us all, to the country, to the prieshood. Above all, you give glory to our God you serve. When you won, the whole nation rejoiced with you. Your victory is a triumph of raw courage and innate sense of righteousness of the majority of your provincemates.
Soon, we saw you making a difference in the governance of Pampanga. Then you proved that you are big enough to belong to the whole country. Now you are showing how one man with a pure and sincered desire to serve the people can create an impact that can reshape the destiny of the whole nation, with your capacity to stand for what is right and honorable.
One public servant like you is enough to keep the flame of hope alive. During these days of national gloom and doom, the light of your fortitude and honesty as a public servant can provide the flicker that can dispel the enveloping darkness. And many more will follow your lighted way.
Be assured of my prayers. I join the many well-meaning Filipinos saying a prayer that you succeed in your mission of evangelizing Philippine politics.
Sincerely,
Ma. Gracia Riñoza-Plazo

We have a circus of an election every four years with actors, singers and a lot of similar street trash vying for public office.
Can't wait for the day more clerics, business leaders and philosphers vye for candidacy. I'm sick of the flim flam running government
Thing is, what's to motivate the good guys to go for government. The administration is bankrupt financially, morally and socially. Only idiots or the greedy would stay there. Or those with naive patriotism.
If good people will shy away from politics then where will our hope for improvement come?
Now is the time for every one of sincere and honest intentions to offer oneself to serve the country. Be involved in polictics if need be. If there is a way. You can help finace the candidacies of qualified candidate and by so doing you invest in the future of the nation. Politics is too crucial an institution to be left to the scums of the earth.
Happy, elections take place every three years.
