Just this Sunday, I finished a book by David Baldacci with the same title. While devouring the book, I was thinking... will absolute power corrupt even the most honest mind?
I wish that with the (absolute) power soon to be given to the Philippines' president-elect, his ideals remain intact on preventing, if not, totally eradicating corruption in the government. I hope that power do not overthrow the very reason he was elected -- a promise of clean and transparent government.
My hopes are high that with the coming leadership, the country may be able to move forward from the looming darkness, which for some time have been brought by the current administration. I am hoping that the Filipinos will be given the inspiration they need from a leader who although to some, may be lacking the competence he still remains to be the symbol of simple hopes and truthful ideals, of highest position in its humblest, of everything else any traditional politicians is not.
