I remember a statement of then Sen. Jovito R. Salonga, when he gave a lecture on his favorite field of study, Public International Law.

My memory of my youth is replete with happy political involvement. It was in my elementary years when the resume of then candidate for senator Ferdinand Edralin Marcos overwhelmed me such that I internalized every bit of his written bio-data, from topping the 1939 bar exams to his exploits in the Second World War although his war medals were, years later, exposed to be fakery. During the entire period, I asked my parents to help me get his election materials so that I could distribute them in my birthplace in Candijay, Bohol.

Yesterday, for instance, the two most prominent stories were about Fernando Poe’s citizenship and Erap Estrada’s permission to go abroad for medical treatment. And, of course, there were other minor stories about personalities in the entertainment world who are running for public office in this coming elections. The two worlds represent two extremes. One is a make-believe world, the other deals with hard realities.
