Poverty and the new administration
In the inaugural speech of our new President, I was pleasantly surprised that one of the two quotes he used was made by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) and I quote: “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have so little.” If this is a promise of the new President, then I do hope that, for the sake ofour country and the future of our children, he fulfills this promise to the Filipino people.
