Letter from Col. Ariel Querubin.

May the peace of Christ be with you!

Life has presented to me in many ways, from my exploits in the field that eventually earned me the Medal of Valor, a new lease on life after being left for dead in 1989 and to my current incarceration.

During all these episodes of my life, I have both witnessed and felt human suffering and desolation. After a long process of discernment while in confinement, I resolved to do something about human suffering- not through any other modality but through faithful, competent and committed public service.

I do not assume to be the solution to all these problems. I definitely am not. It takes the collective effort of every member of this society to make things improve. All I can do on my end, is to make the best effort possible to make society better, stand by my principles and fight for what is right in the appropriate forum; if not for myself and one generation, for our children and their children as well.

I thought that if I do not try to at least offer myself yo give our people an alternative, then all the sufferings I have witnessed and felt would be rendered meaningless.

I plan to run for the Senate in the coming 2010 elections with this dream that we all share, a prosperous and vibrant Republic of the Philippines that bestows to its citizens the benefits of freedom, good government and a developing modern state; that fosters the unity of the family, respects human rights and upholds the dignity of all.

I have no political pedigree. I have no political machinery. I have no financial resources. But I do have honor. I do have principle. I do have courage.

We all fight our own battle hoping each one could make lives better.I believe I am ready to take on this new role, perhaps no longer as a warrior, but as a simple statesman.

With your support, this dream is not far-fetched. There is hope for this country and our people. All we have to do is believe.

May God bless you and your family always.

Respectfully yours,

Ariel Querubin

I don't know why but I have this great urge to vote for this man if he indeed runs for election.

IMHO, there seems to be nothing wrong with Col. Querubin's plans, just hope that they would be able to clear everything before the elections to avoid complications if ever he wins.

What reverberated through out the four corners of the world is the legacy of Nelson Mandela. He was locked up for almost 21 years by the apartheid government of South Africa only to end up himself being the first black president of S.A. . Col. Querubin & Capt. Trillanes will someday be the purveyors of change as long as they will survive the rigors of incarceration.

Sir if I may correct you, It's LTSG Trillanes not CPT.

Tks for the correction Barber 6. My apologies to the post readers for the mistake.
