We beg to differ.
First Filipinos latched on to “heroes” who were actual real people — like Manny Pacquiao and, before him, the late former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. Many more, past, present, and future, are subjects of Filipinos’ idolatry to the detriment of a now-anemic resolve to face real national issues using real resources and capability.
