As much as I want to admire Puno for his group's initiative I cannot stop thinking the awkward timing of this movement. To add to the controversy, he is even one of the viewed heads or leaders here.
Morality seems like an overused word nowadays. The funnier thing here is that this word is not coming from our religious leaders but from our political actors. In this instance a member of the Supreme Court justices.
The timing is in question here. How can we believe this man's initiative when there are rumors that he is running for a national position? How can he wish to be part of something he sees as "immoral" or "evil?" Before he supports a movement, it is imperative that he check his position and stand on matters.
In a politically hyped country, it is always hard to inject religious stands or moral grounds on something that is amoral. What I want to see is for this movement than bashing the government and making a name for their religious denomination, would show us tangible and practical solutions in combating corruption. Moral grounds are just wallpapers. It solves nothing.
