‘Teacher’ Neric Acosta: Villar’s no-show is an arrogance of power

Liberal Party Senatorial candidate, 'Teacher' Neric Acosta condemns the boycott of Wednesday’s Senate session by Senator Manny Villar and his allies.

 

“The Senate, as the highest policy-making body is not the venue to evade truth-seeking and truth-telling. Villar’s no-show in the final days of sessions for the 14th Congress reflects a disrespect not only for his colleagues, but an arrogance of power and a flagrant disregard for basic democratic process,” ‘Teacher’ Neric Acosta says.

 

“Anyone aspiring for public office, let alone the presidency, should be held fully accountable for any hint of a betrayal of the public trust. He must be an example first and foremost of responsible citizenship and ethical leadership.”
