Don't Condone His Lies!

More often, being a family member or relative of someone influential will get you some amount of perks aka built-in advantage. It is for this reason that there are wealthy people who are not content with just being rich, because apart from the financial bliss, being in a position of power brings in a certain level of celebrity status and influence. This largely explains why the lure of politics seems to be very addicting and contagious… and toxic, too, to say the least.

Not a few will contest that once seated in position, some of these power hungry “public servants” will circumvent the law once they or any family member gets in trouble. “What are we in power for?” is an oft-repeated phrase or ‘mantra’ whispered and practiced among themselves. Coined by a supposedly honorable senator decades ago, the quote caught on and is now being used and abused. Seriously, “what are we in power for” has now become the face of most public servants -- the rule rather than the exception.

An occasional actor OA who is the son of a veteran actor and public servant AP was driving his car drunk when he hit a girl in her 20’s GR  walking along the road. GR was hurt but managed to get up, only to find OA speeding away from the scene – in short – hit and run. But onlookers saw it was OA who was behind the wheel -- drunk. OA is a resident of that southern town and his presence is a familiar sight among residents there. Witnesses were able to record the car’s plate number and other details. Since he is known to be the son of AP, his residence was easily tracked down.

GR got herself treated in the hospital for wounds and bruises. Soon after, together with her uncle, they went to the residence of OA with the intention of reporting the matter to his father AP. When they were finally face to face with him, GR and her uncle told him of the accident involving OA’s drunk-driving that hit GR. To their surprise, AP denied it outright, saying that his son is in no way guilty of the accusation and will never do a hit and run.

In his usual arrogant manner, he made GR and her uncle appeared like bullies accusing his son, instead of the other way around. Oh boy!

At any rate, what do we expect? His actuation is a foregone conclusion. He has been a big disappointment as a public servant, even causing headaches to the current head of the region.

“He who has the power makes the rules.”
