Does he or does he not know?

FOR all the criticisms of the Aquino administration and exposés of its corrupt doings while trumpeting its “Tuwid na Daan” moral thrust in The Times, we the editors have not ceased praying that the President miraculously decides to do what is really good for the people, the nation and the Philippine Republic.

We fervently pray for him to become less mendacious about the state of our country and to do a better job in the less than 23 months as our president. That is our constant prayer. And it is so not only because it is our Christian duty to God and to ourselves to wish him well (for we fail to be doers of good and we sin if we don’t) but also because his success will mean reforming our government and our society, and a better life for the majority of the Filipino people who are poor and suffering.
