"What we need is not a change of men but a change in men."
I have been telling this all along. I even had an argument with DA POGI about this. We have been talking about the Philippine government and how everything is falling out of place. He is cynical that there is a one person there that can change everything. He says that the whole Philippine government needs to be revamped just so change would appear. He says that even if there is one good person that person would be corrupted by the greed.
I disagreed.
And now, after I listened to Richard Gordon, secretary of Philippine tourism, I gained hope. I now know that there is someone there, other than me, who believes that the change should happen to each and everyone. We can't change other people but we can certainly change the way we are. Nothing good will come out of just hoping and doing nothing. He talked of the 3 D's, Duty, Dignity and Determination. Without one of the three, you'll get nowhere.
We need more men who are hopeful. Out with the cynics. We don't need individuals to run our country, we need someone who is a team player. And the team's name is RP.
