Greed and betrayal
Greed and Betrayalis the title of the recently re-released book of veteran journalist and teacher Professor Cecilio Arillo. Dubbed the sequel to his earlier publication on the 1986 Edsa Revolt Breakaway, the book chronicles a number of the previously unwritten undertakings during the Cory administration which should provide a clearer picture and thus a more objective appreciation of that era in Philippine life. The book comes as a refreshing counterpoint to the hosannas being thrown the public by the “avenging Yellow crowd” as our fellow columnist Mentong Laurel describes the crowd now surrounding Liberal Party (LP) presidential bet Sen. Noynoy Aquino. True to his calling, our colleague in the profession who started in media way ahead of us as a reporter in the then Roces owned Manila Times group of publications in 1964, this 143-page book carries 10 pages of “Notes and References” which should debunk this early the claim of the Noynoy operators that this is a hatchet job meant to derail the Tarlac solon’s march to Malacañang. Well, they better get a copy and read the entire thing before they get derailed themselves by their own self-denial bordering on amnesia and “feel good” propaganda.
