I am seriously concerned for Noynoy Aquino more than for his Presidential bid. I am worried that he may soon find himself in a pit of regrets the way things are going.
With his ratings no longer as remarkable as before, I actually heard a suggestion from one of his supporters that they may have to evaluate if the “Cory magic” has started to fade. Then there is this persistence on making the campaign a battle between good and evil. Add to this the declaration that there is an unholy alliance between the Arroyo administration and Manny Villar.
Perhaps Noynoy should revisit his steps before he completely loses his way. Martin Luther King once said: those you would change you must first love.
How do you achieve this when everything you stand for is based on making a distinction between your goodness and your opponents’ evil or failings? A man who would step upon his enemies and declare to the world all their sins or shortcomings, in no way becomes a greater.
Since day one, I have opposed the use of Ninoy and Cory Aquino as springboards or icons for Noynoy’s presidential bid. Not every nation has a Ninoy and Cory. Not every family has heroes in their history. One must never squander an inheritance that came at the price of a life as well as tears. It is a legacy and not just some tool they now dishonor by calling it “magic”. –Cito Beltran (The Philippine Star)
