So they made elaborate plans. Bring a man to the scene, kill him and put the blame for Ninoy’s murder on him. Perfectly planned. Splendidly executed.

And then they found (doubtless to their horror) that instead of eliminating the threat, the murder of Ninoy actually destroyed them.

Right on, GMA!

La Gloria’s
convent-school upbringing manifested itself when she pointed out that if Jesus made the sacrifice of coming down to earth on Christmas Day to die for our sins, she in turn had the duty to sacrifice her Presidential ambitions in order to seek the welfare of our people. In this New Year, that’s a good thought to ponder: The need for sacrifice. [DatePublished] => 2003-01-01 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133172 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1510184 [AuthorName] => Max V.
