SHOULD HE RUN OR NOT?



by Wilhelmina S. Orozco

Why are some people wary of Estrada running for office? Are they afraid of his winning the game? Why can't some people just allow anyone to run; after all everyone is entitled to serving this country.

Actually, the COMELEC has stringent requirements for anyone running for a position especially for the higher positions. Question: what makes the COMELEC the arbiter for judging who can run and not, is it not the people?

As soon as Estrada was freed from prison, he regained all his fundamental rights as a citizen. So if Jalosjos and Mario Hulog ng Langit can run, so can all the other ex-prisoners do. This is a free country, and everyone is entitled to becoming a public servant.

What a lousy and boring life of sacrifice, if construed in its true meaning.
