, along with his 100, will bear fruit in time, for the sake of our youth whose future we have squandered on the shoals of incompetence, corruption, a lack of vision and direction, and ineffective “service.”“But we are not going to give up because if we abandon the cause, it is as if we have given up for the future of our kids, the future of our children, the children of our children, and the future of our nation.
One hundred fifteen retired and active military and police officers expressed their support for the movement. A hundred mayors out of almost 1,600 and 115 out of legion may be viewed as a small start, and even now, some cynics have called Magalong the new “Man of La Mancha,” his quest for good governance quixotic, an “impossible dream.”Otherwise, we doom our future, and we collectively discard what little love of nation still persists amongst us.Once again we grieve at the loss of a dear friend, Mike Enriquez, and we condole with his family at the irreplaceable void he left in their lives.

I have been privileged to know him well, especially in the 12 days when we and his physician-wife, traveled together with a few other friends in a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2004, where I witnessed closely the engaging humor and the love of his chosen profession by this simple man.
