How can Filipinos hope to be a great people if they cannot even find a great president?

February 15, 2016 benign0 14 Comments

Exceptional. Normally, a race for the presidency involves a cast of exceptional people. These would be the men and women seen to be at the top of their respective games and, as such, worthy of the privilege to serve the Filipino people as their chief executive for the next six years. In a presidential race,…
