2010 Elections: Quo Vadis? VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 02/07/2010 Many people are not simply hoping but in fact are fervently praying for honest, orderly, peaceful and credible May 2010 National Elections. And they have all the nationalists reasons to do so whereas the country has been long since suffering much, not only from many gross man-made atrocities but also from different natural destructive calamities.
