Dear Cardinal Tagle (Cultural crises 2!)

Something landed in my inbox on Thursday, the day the first “Cultural Crises” was published. It was a wonderfully written letter, endorsing one Jose Elmer B. Francisco to the position of Executive Director at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

Now, I had hesitated to name Mr. Franciso—and anyone else for that matter—in that first column because I had no written proof in my hands. But, oh dear, this letter has his name and the Cardinal’s written all over it.
