I LIKE best the last paragraph of your editorial especially the second sentence: “the need for vigilance continues…”
I always make it a point to read your editorial everyday when I come to work and that line hit me hardest. You inspire your readers.
I pray people like you will continue to be like you… doing their work with the highest integrity. Thank you.

It’s hard to forget Mike’s role in being an apologist for the wrong decisions of Gloria especially those which trampled Philippine democracy.

A class act or no class act. The man’s statemanship is beyond compare. It takes a lot of courage and pride to admit once defeat. How many of us filipinos can concede defeat practically politicians in the Phil………but instead contest it and call for ballot recount. The guy is young and more elections to come if given a chance. Don’t forget, filipinos have short memories. No doubt about it.
A SALUTE TO HIM!

Hi to Noah Pilipino,
Thanks for your message. You are very specific as to why you think Defensor does not deserve to be overly praised for conceding earlier. Kaya siya natalo marami palang dahilan at alam ng mga tao. Para duon sa bumoto sa kanya, kelangang paliguan nila ang kanilang mga ulo at ng umaliwalas ang kanilang mga pag-iisip. Biruin mo ang dami palang kabulastugang ginawa nakagarner pa rin ng mga boto. Sayang na mga boto, buti pa kung si Trillanes na lang ang mga ibinoto nila. Ha ha ha ha. (don’t jump on me. Gumagala lang ako ditto…..hello, Salina. Don’t worry, I’ll behave.)

A little late for Defensor to be teaching his children about honor!

To Israel,
Your post is so venomous and corrosive. Reading it, I want to retch. Self-righteous people like you make our country worse instead of better. It is always easy to find fault than praise. That’s the hallmark of typical Pinoy forgetting thatpointing an accusing finger to someone, three are pointing back at him. Whe! Ang Pinoy talaga. Sobrang dunong at linis.
