DIPOLOG CITY - Former military official Col. Ariel Querubin told the media people here this morning that “President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III is in the right path” in pursuing good governance.
Querubin was here to attend a BCBP (Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals) gathering at the Top Plaza Hotel where he and his wife served as speakers.
The couple shared with the participants the hardships they went through in life and how the Lord strengthened them.
Querubin recalled the pains his family suffered when he was incarcerated for more than four years on accusation of rebellion during the administration of former President Gloria Arroyo.
The former military official told the press that he fought the Arroyo administration because of bad governance that brought about corruption, poverty, inequality and all evils of society.
When asked how he felt for the former President after the latter was served an arrest warrant for electoral sabotage, he curtly replied: “She got a dose of her own medicine.”
In a separate development, Querubin expressed objection to an all-out war policy against the rebels. War, he said, is expensive and it could deplete our resources.
“We shall continue running after the bandits but, at the same time, continue the peace talks,” Querubin suggested. (NBE/FPG/PIA-Zambo. Norte)
