G, It is always of paramount importance for one to understand and remember what he or she preaches. Tombong is like any other individual on the List. One may not like what he writes, but that does not warrant him being unsubscribed from the List. He argues his points, but does not violate any rules or regulations governing the list. Above all, anytime something happens that is of public concern, there is always someone out here who will ask for his opinion. He does not have to write to please anyone or any group of people, but express his thoughts. Freedom of Speech is a fundamental human right. Asking for his removal from the List is just tantamount to AFPRC/APRC demanding for the closure of Radio 1, FM. because they do not like what they air. It will be insane to teach principles of democracy and practice authoritarianism. Unless such attitudes are changed, we as a people will never be better off. Because we will continue to make the same mistakes that hinder us from socioeconomic and political progress. S.S.
