Once again, the retired archbishop airs his dismay on the performance of Pres. Noynoy Aquino to the extent that his only achievement is the banning of sirens.
I may not agree with the good archbishop on that point but his questions such as: (1.) "Where is the promised straight path?" (2.) "How should the shout, 'You are my boss' be understood?" need further scrutiny.
My concern is the unabated criminality in the country. Minus the congressional hearings on those allegedly involved in corruption, how many have been sent to jail? Are there no longer warlords in the provinces? These are just a tip of the iceberg if the almost a year presidency of Mr. Aquino is to be scrutinized.
I am pro-Noynoy and can’t forget the spectacle of his victory and inauguration. Yet, at this time, I feel that he really has not done that much to improve the livelihood of the people or ease the suffering of the country.
It is funny to read comments from readers committing the sin of ad hominem asking what achievements Msgr. Cruz have in his advanced years. He could have been a cardinal or a pope, one said. Despite comments like that and others which are void of substance if not puerile; as of now, it is surprising that no one has invoked the separation of Church and State yet to "gag" Cruz. Is it because the vocal and retired prelate is telling the truth and the people agree with? Cruz is not the Church but I really do not understand why separation of Church and State pops up when individual bishops express their opinion based from what they perceive especially when the view dispensed is along the lines of moral issues.
So, Mr. President, are we up to the elimination of sirens only if Msgr. Cruz is to be believed?
