AS spokesman of then candidate Cory Aquino in 1985-1986, it was a pleasant task for me to announce that Manang Letty Ramos-Shahani, then in the foreign service, had come out openly in support of our candidate, in defiance of the dictator. Then came the equally public and bold defection of Col. Mariano Santiago, a hero in Edsa’86. I was reminded of him because his brother, General Dionisio has just resigned/retired or been fired as PDEA chief. Running in the family is high principle, at stake in a pending impeachment proceeding.
