Caution against self-destruction

Believing that public office is a public trust requires one to search for integrity and honesty among the presidential candidates offering themselves to the Filipino electorate. William J. Bennett’s New York Times best-selling The Book of Virtues should be very helpful in ensuring we elect only the person with the highest level of probity.

Rationalizing his personal lifestyle that hardly fits into the image of someone who champions unity against poverty, is difficult enough. But it is even more challenging to explain why he, the son of the deposed dictator, should be elected president when he commits to continue his father’s repudiated legacy.

“Mag-usisa” means to inquire and Marcos Jr. should now explain why their estimated $5-10 billion wealth is not ill-gotten. Several Supreme Court decisions have affirmed that the source of the fabled Marcos wealth is illegitimate. When Marcos Jr. simply dismisses this accusation by saying “show me the evidence,” he disrespects the rule of law. For instance, the High Court in a 2021 case tackling G.R. No. 152154 Republic of the Philippines vs. Sandiganbayan, Nov.
