Recently, we saw the film "singham", bollywood of course. What was funny in the film is the punishment given to people who are in power who, in this case, singham's superior officer, did not exercise power according to what is just and honest. Well, the idea stands a lot of relevance in this country where political power is used to enhance economic power, an endemic habit of the ruling class. Singham kicked his superior in the butt, literally kick! The other personnel, singham's colleagues in the police force, also had their chance at kicking the bosses butt.
Consequence served well, I should say. Had this been done to Gloria Arroyo, it would have made a good statement to political leaders. Arroyo admitted to at least the mistake of having called Garcillano during her election into power, she said sorry in national tv! But then, that was it. There was no closure to it, so the sincerity remained questioned. That means she just said it in order to appeal to sympathy.
If she was really truly sorry for that mistake, she could have volunteered herself for butt kicking by anyone in Comelec. Sounds good di ba? When people see that, then her sincerity is believable!
Any other political leader who follows would then be wary about making abuses of public trust, right?
