Peping must give earnest of sincerity and seriousness

IF Peping and Tingting Cojuangco are to be believed in their efforts to shoehorn themselves into the conversation about President Aquino’s departure from the presidency and any subsequent transition, Peping must first give an earnest sincerity and integrity of their motives. And Tingting for her part must show that her feet are firmly on the ground when she makes her often flighty statements.

Peping’s earnestness should come in two forms, both of which can serve practically as a guarantee of seriousness and as a substantive contribution to national life and public welfare.
