Former Ramos Officials' Support Robredo's Presidential Bid
Former Ramos Officials' Support Robredo's Presidential Bid
We, the undersigned former members of the Cabinet and senior officials
in the administration of President Fidel V. Ramos in 1992-1998, hereby
declare that:
• We are gravely concerned that the emerging campaign for the coming
elections is being compromised by the proliferation of misinformation,
dubious promises and outright falsehoods; deliberate thought
manipulation especially via social media through the use of large
numbers of fictitious accounts and mercenary troll armies; misuse of
certain polls and surveys that may not necessarily reflect and
represent true voter preferences; and continued patronage and money
politics that have traditionally perpetuated undesirable dynasties and
diverted people’s choices away from electing principled leaders.
• We believe that the country sorely needs a leader who will inspire
unity, solidarity and teamwork in government and among all
Filipinos; empower our people, especially the disadvantaged and
marginalized in society; and bring out the best of servant leadership
in government officials and public servants by being the foremost
example of integrity, dedication, professionalism, level-headedness,
statesmanship, pursuit of excellence, hard work, and true caring and
sharing for our fellow Filipinos. These are the leadership qualities that
we directly witnessed President Ramos espouse and exemplify, and
which we seek in the next President of our country.
