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.

THE REPORTED feud between Team Unity members Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson and Michael Defensor seems to be heating up after Singson said several Ilocano associations would not include Defensor on their sample ballots.
Here’s an excerpt from the Philippine Daily Inquirer article:
VIGAN, Ilocos Sur — Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson, a candidate for senator in the administration’s Team Unity, said Saturday a group of Ilocano associations will not be including another TU candidate, Michael Defensor, on sample ballots that it will be distributing.
ON SUNDAY, the day off for most overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Hong Kong, Defensor and Zubiri went to the former crown colony Ââ€Ŕ"not to campaign” but to inform OFWs there of their accomplishments.
My golly, how do you call that? Social Studies? Or Arts and Sciences? Or rather Math lessons? Or what else.. Current Events? They should be barred!

FOR Michael Defensor: Here in New Zealand, we are very proud about you, mate. You did a very good job the previous year, and you have very firm principles.
I hope most of the Filipinos in the Philippines will support you.
Mike, we pray for you to win in the coming elections.
