Arrogant Officials
Published in Philippine Free Press July 30, 2011 Issue
It is appalling to see government officials displaying their arrogance in public. A local official pummeling a helpless court officer. Another gesturing indecently at critics of the other official. Such arrogance derives from power and fortune. Such officials also display their vanity, riding around in flashy cars with special license plates and wearing expensive shoes, rings, and watches. When are we going to have modest, unassuming, and self-effacing officials? Today it’s hard to find such leaders whom we can recommend to our children to view as models of simplicity, integrity, honesty, and clean living. —Reginald B. Tamayo, Marikina City
