A certain Ms. Corazon feels she can be a better head of state than Mr. Chua Tai Li. Mr. Chua has been perceived as a dictator. Time is running short and Ms. Corazon has to apply for the job. Do you think Ms.Corazon needs a training first because she has been a housewife all her life? She does not know anything about running a country. Where in the world can she get the training first before she can become a Chief Executive? So you mean that before anyone can be a congressman or a senator, one has to get a training as a congressman or a senator? But which school or work environment can anyone get that kind of training? Isn't your analogy, if that was even an analogy, appropriate?
Lucio Tan bought a bank and he is now President of a bank. So he can not run a bank because he does not even have a training in running a bank? Manny bought PLDT so he can not run a telecom company because he does not even have the expertise or training in networks?
Alas, you are trying to compare apples and oranges. The work requirements for a line job can never be applied for all kinds and levels of pursuits. In the first place, public service is never a "job" or "trabaho". Unfortunately, the bias is reflective of the ruling class' distaste of Senyor Joseph who is perceived as having no "education" or "unfit for the job". But who defines who is "fit"? It is only the electorate, my friend. The electorate has chosen and such is the tyranny of democracy - the tyranny of numbers. Whether we like it or not, we just have to accept and live with what the majority decides. We may not agree with certain decisions of the Supreme Court but when the majority decides, everybody has to accept the decision.
So you think that I can not serve my country because I do not have a training certificate or a diploma in public service?
Everybody is asked to serve the country, in fact it is our moral obligation to serve motherland
BUT it entails planning. The will to serve the country is not enough; you have to be properly equipped to do it. Serving the country is equivalent to benefitting the Filipinos.
Himay himayin natin ang mga analogy mo bro:
Cory Aquino:She was forced to raise the flag amidst the revolution because no one dared to face Marcos BUT in her heart she knows she can do it. In fact she can,
WHY? because she already has the skill set needed even before Ninoy died.
From Wikipedia & this is known to some Filipinos.
As a young girl, Cory spent her elementary days at St. Scholastica's College in Manila, where she graduated on top of her class and batch as valedictorian. For high school, she transferred to Assumption Convent for her first year of high school. Afterwards, she went to the United States to finish her secondary education. There she continued her college education. She went to the College of Mount Saint Vincent in New York City, where she majored in Mathematics and French. During her stay in the United States, Cory volunteered for the campaign of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Thomas Dewey against then Democrat U.S. President Harry S. Truman during the 1948 U.S. Presidential Election.She is smart & she already has a background in politics contrary to what other people would say that she is just a housewife. She already has the experience though just a little but the knowledge is already there.
Lucio Tan:Did you know that he has a Doctorate Degree in Commerce in UST?
Commerce = BankingAnd as we all know Chinese are very good in numbers & in business, it’s their culture.
Hell my Chinese classmates in Mapua are much faster in computing than my average Casio calculator then.
Fortune Tobacco was already established in 1966 before he ventured to banking in 1977, acquiring the defunct General Bank and Trust Company, which he renamed Allied Bank. That’s about 11 solid years of business training, running Fortune Tobacco before Allied Bank.
Manny Pangilinan:He graduated cum laude from the Ateneo de Manila University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.
Procter & Gamble even gave him a rare scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School to Manny for his MBA.
After his MBA, he worked at Phinma for 6 years as an Executive Assistant then in Bancom International, a Philippine investment bank based in Hong Kong then another four years with AMEX (American Express) after that with First Pacific where he was introduced to Anthoni Salim (who in our business circle we would say the one who is really funding MVP). Have you heard about the Salim Brothers issue?
After 22 years working abroad he went back to the Philippines & managed his family investment in PLDT. While he was abroad his father already bought shares in PLDT.
Networks or what we say IT part of PLDT is just 40% of the cake, business part which is the majority is the one mastered by MVP
All three examples that you gave: Cory, Lucio Tan & MVP what’s their common denominator?
They are the cream of the crop in school & in advance studies; the two gentlemen even have their masters or doctorate degrees, they have extensive experience & training & most of all they have the drive for excellence. That’s how you measure love of country.
Try putting a portrait of Cory, Lucio Tan & MVP in any public area and the fourth one would be Nancy Binay, do you think Jojo Binay would be happy with the insult?
As for Erap,
MEDIA was used and abused that is why he won. If we can just go back in time & remove all his movies made, let see if he can still win even at the barangay captain level.
Do you think, majority of the people voted for these clowns whole heartedly? The MEDIA & PAID SURVEYS did the job.
In business it’s what we call –
MIND CONDITIONING.
Now for your last question my friend, my answer is:
YOU CAN SERVE YOUR COUNTRY BUT YOU HAVE TO BE PROPERLY EQUIPPED FIRST BEFORE YOU DO IT. Otherwise its like buying a Paltik & Balsa painted with the Philippine flag then going to Scarborough Shoal and shooting all Chinese vessels on sight while shouting:
FILIPINO AKO, PAGMAMAYARI NAMIN ITO!Now that’s what you call
SUICIDE same with what Nancy Binay is doing & what Lito Lapid & Bong Revilla has been doing……mga palamuti sa senado, parang mga bakanteng position lang.
