"Moral Revolution"

By Abp. Oscar V. Cruz

There is a formal and standing call for a "Moral Revolution" made by no less than a then high ranking official in government in direct response to the pronouncement of an also highly placed Churchman at the helm of the CBCP openly saying that the present administration is "Morally Bankrupt". The said call affirms the truth of the pronouncement, and the cited pronouncement validates the urgency of the call. The call and the pronouncement constitute a strong, relevant and urgent moral whole.

The said expressed and continuing highly significant and fervent call has some five (5) key and outstanding appeals, all of which are neither hard to understand nor difficult to fathom. The government official personally and officially addresses the following socio-moral agenda directly to the one leading the national governance some seven long years since:

1. "PROVE THAT GOVERNMENT CAN STILL ACT DECISIVELY IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST."
2. "CORRUPTION IS THE KEY POLITICAL PROBLEM."
3. "SLOW, UNEVEN GROWTH THE KEY ECONOMIC PROBLEM."
4. "POVERTY PERPETUATES ITSELF THROUGH GENERATIONS."
5. "REDEFINE POLITICS AS SERVING MORE THAN INDIVIDUAL AMBITIONS."
