Chapter 10 in the book of Sirach, the Scriptures says," A wise ruler will educate his people and his government will be orderly. All officials and all citizens will be like their ruler. An uneducated king will ruin his people, but a government will go strong if its rulers are wise. The Lord sees to the government of the world and brings the right person to power at the right time. The success of that person is in the Lord's hands. The Lord is the source of the honor given to any official."
So far, I didn't see this happening in the Philippines.
When we were still in Thailand for more than a decade, oftentimes we've heard and seen in the news how rampant graft and corruptions are in the Philippines. And in just few months stay in the Philippines for my new job assignment in this country, the pork barrel issues had surfaced. Now, it's more or less a year since then that we have seen some results -three senators: Revilla, Estrada and Enrile, so far had been put in jail, which lots of people are in doubts about it. For them, this would be temporary only.
Temporary means that when the Aquino administration is done, and another party leader holding the reign, these senators and others soon to be put in jail, will easily get away from it and freely walk out from the prison.
Do you think God had already sent the right person, or is it the right time to put a certain person to power?
Our coming Presidential election in 2016 is another hope for all of us to fulfill God's plan in the our country. Hope that time, all of us will be united to elect the right and God-fearing person and right and God-fearing government officials who will truly and lovingly serve the Filipino people unconditionally with all their hearts, minds, strengths and energy.
May God bless us all!
