So sue us

Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. wants his critics silenced. He is threatening to sue his critics. We dare him to include this paper and those who like us carried the criticisms by experts, some of whom are former Comelec officials.

Well, we in the Manila Times refuse to be cowed. And we’re damn sure other groups that make a common stand with us are similarly disposed. After all, we live in a democracy, and this system of government is supposed to work because its officials and their actuations are subject to public scrutiny.
