This is good stuff! I can just imagine, the poor and sad state of the Philippines after it was ranked among the top ten most corrupt nations in Asia. There is also an extreme, wide gap between the rich and poor.
I thought this statement came from a very serious source. I was surprised that someone like Eliseo Soriano would be taken seriously. There are a lot of countries that are still developing, lack of technology and corrupt political officials but their religious leaders did not even make a comment about it. I think Eliseo should mind his own business since religion and economic conditions are not interrealated factors.
Of course the statement come from a serious public figure. Deeper research about the spiritual head yielded that his long-running program, The Old Path and Ang Dating Daan in Filipino was once named the year's most informative program by an award-giving group in the United States. In journalism, that single honor already makes him more than credible to give his opinions and statements.
