Substance over spectacle
Manila Bulletin
|September 10, 2025
In my 21 years of public service, I have learned that there are essentially two types of personalities in politics.
-
There are those who love to talk and grandstand, and revel in the spotlight. And there are those who are humble, quiet and steadfast. Let me be very clear: I am not suggesting that one is more hardworking than the other. I think it is a matter of personality and style, if I may refer to it as such. I believe that the bombastic type of public servant has a place in an arena where communications and rhetoric play important roles. Surely, when the times call for it, a leader must be able to appeal to the emotions of people in order to inspire them or rally them around a common goal.
