A homage to Samuel Ong, hero of the 'HelloGarci'expose
by Jesusa Bernardo
R.I.P.,Samuel Ong. Be in peace where your soul will traverse.Your noble efforts to inform your Filipino compatriots of theterrible crime and farce behind the presidency of theincumbent through your dissemination of the "Hello, Garci ?"tapes will not be in vain. In time, theCheater, Fake 'President'Gloria Macapagal Arroyowill reap her awful karma. In time, nowicked crime against the motherland will go unpunished.The agony of choosing whether to go by the way of the heroes,or give in to the seduction of the richly rewarded traitors of the Republic, you excruciatingly went through. In the end, youchose to whistle the truth--surreptitiously at first, and whenyou sensed mortal danger, you publicly owned up to it. For four years you endured so much, as you hoped and waited for change. The sweet closure of justice did not come in your lifetime, but it will, it should, in time.History will judge you a patriotic hero—that I am sure of. Inbehalf of the Filipinos who were unable to physically comfort you, or adequately support you during your principled crusade,I bid you a farewell laden with the heartfelt gratitude of anation you served with conviction.
