Ricardo Cardinal Vidal was plain enough when he talked of "killings here and killings there," obviously referring to summary murders in Cebu City, which stopped during Asean summit preparations, to no one's surprise.
But when the archbishop spoke of "storm of greed for power" in the capital, whom did he mean? Not all pushers of unlamented Con-Ass lust for longer term.
Cardinal Vidal said he won't mention names. It must be up to us to see who salivate for more power and who just need better hygiene.
'Mr. Know-it-all"
Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña mentioned a "Mr. Know-it-all" who must have "pushed the panic button" and made the "bad call" of putting off the summit.
Did he mean chief organizer Jun Paynor? Maybe, maybe not, since Tomas also said he was glad President Glo gave the ambassador a free hand.
Doesn't it take a Mr. Know-it-all to recognize another Mr. Know-it-all? Anyway, what must bug people is not having as leader someone who knows a lot of things but having someone who sees every dissent as dumb.
Paynor has been quiet, which must require supreme restraint, about Tomas and his gospel of holiday and paranoia.
What's amazing: Those who do lash out, after weeks of heat and stress in coping with their woes, can still speak in riddles
