The votes from
across the sea |
|
The opposition has thrown a wild pitch by insinuating
that Philippine diplomats would take part in a conspiracy to doctor
the results of the overseas absentee voting to favor administration
candidates. The insinuation was vehemently denied by election and
foreign affairs officials last week, who maintained that the foreign
service would not risk sullying its image by engaging in partisan
politics.
Two opposition senatorial
candidates claimed that envoys appointed by the President would find
it difficult to resist pressure to help her bets win. That, we
believe, does the Department of Foreign Affairs a great disservice.
To cast aspersions on its integrity weakens its standing in the
international diplomatic community.

|
The most trusted politician of
the land is not in power. The most powerful politician is not
trusted by the majority of the people. It is truly one of the
