A very compelling account by former Governor Homobono A. Adaza of
Misamis Oriental, one of the most outspoken critics of the national
government, on his personal encounters with Philippine presidents
and other leaders who could have been president. Adaza believes he
has a better perspective of our country's leaders because he
conversations with them during their unguarded moments when there
were no cameras and their body language and verbal comments were
not measured nor scripted. Adaza also writes in great detail about
his involvements in all the major political events in the
Philippines: from the election of President Ferdinand Marcos in
1965, the dark days of martial law, the end of the Mrcos
dictatorship in 1986, the election of Corazon Aquino as president,
the coup plots against her administration, the search for gold in
the Philippine embassy grounds in Tokyo, Japan during the Ramos
administration, the ouster of President Estrada in EDSA II and the
recent "Garci tapes" scandal in the current Arroyo administration.
As Filipinos prepare for the coming May 2010 presidential
elections, Adaza passionately emphasizes the qualities of
leadership the future president must possess and the programs to be
pursued for the Philippines to become the "promised land" for
millions of Filipinos. A must read for every Filipino who cares for
his country, loves history and follows the world of Philippine
politics.
