We honor all those who have died in this heart-rending calamity. We honor the woman who slept for nights with the corpses of her three young children because government was nowhere to give them even the decency of a mass burial. We honor the old woman whose only daughter had to leave her in her debilitating condition in order to look for food. We honor each and everyone who now wake up to another day of sorrow they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. We honor them not because the most powerful man of this country has not, but because it is the rightful and the most humane thing to do. The whole world’s humanity, now converging in the Philippines, honors them. Never mind if the most powerful man in the Philippines has not. He does not matter now. He has begun to reveal his irrelevance. He no longer is our leader. - Antonio Montalvan II, PDI: opinion.inquirer.net/65555/an-irrelevant-president#ixzz2kycgXZ5S
