I had my first draft for today�s article finished three days ago. I wanted to talk about freedom, a state that eludes most Filipinos more than 110 years ago in a sentimental declaration of independence that was immediately aborted before it was understood.
My view is that there is no freedom when most citizens are characterized by a lack of access to patrimony and to opportunity. The patrimony of Filipinos is wealth almost unimaginable in a country determined to be among the richest in bio-diversity. This includes an array of minerals that have made our earth a delight to foreign mining companies. Against this backdrop of abundance are millions of Filipinos grappling with hunger or its constant threat.
