The question:

What would you have done with the Angelo dela Cruz Issue?

The answer:

Certainly there is not one easy answer to this situation, in fact we are faced with a vast array of dilemmas and each one has to be considered. That is politics. It is especially difficult to gauge the correct course of action whenever a human life is involved, more so when this is weighed against political imagery and money matters. These are cases where the concept of the greater good comes in handy. We have to ask who will benefit, how many, what kind of benefits will they receive, etc, etc. The situation is hard enough as it is, determining the greater good could complicate things. In the end, the decision has to be made and made quickly. However, I for one would have to chosen to stand my ground. But that's another story.
