Silverio Aquino, a pinoy old timer reminisces about the past Philippine presidents, "life under them was good" he says. Check out his article Shattered hope from the Inquirer.

"I have lived through the administrations of Quezon, Osmeña, Roxas, Quirino, Magsaysay, Garcia and Macapagal, and life under them was good. I was a boy during Quezon's time and I know little of Osmeña's rule, but I know they were good and dedicated leaders. During the administrations of Roxas through Macapagal, I got an education, got married, had children and educated them in turn. The government under them was also good.". Mr. Aquino waxes nostalgic on the previous leaderships of the Philippines.

Silverio's four kids and his wife has already been sucked by the Brain Drain afflicting our country. At the end of his write-up, he laments, "

"When my last two remaining children leave because this country is hopeless, my family would be completely shattered and, if I would still be alive, my hope in the government will also be completely lost. This would be tragic for me. I have seen better governance from the likes of Laurel, Recto, and Magsaysay, and I will never see the light of hope in this hopeless country. "
