Faith in the corridors of power / Evelyn Miranda-Feliciano. - 212 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm.
Reflecting on God, the Gospel and the government with former Senate President Dr. Jovito Salonga.--Title page.
What the Philippines needs at this time is not simply popularity in poll surveys or dogmatic assertions of doctrinal correctness, Dr. Salonga reiterates, "but ethical moral leadership-if we want a government we can really be proud of, one that is good and decent because its high officials do not confuse ends with means, and are themselves upright and competent, honest and dedicated and compassionate." In a democracy, such quality of leadership emanates from the people. It has always been said, we get the government we deserve because the people themselves choose their elected officials who will lead them. And most of the time, citizens do not use their best judgement in choosing their leaders, but think with their grumbling stomachs. The time to become an educated voter is now, by being responsible and wise as a leader in your own right. (From the entry "Wise Leadership" P. 105)
