From the back cover:“In this book, Atty. John Castriciones examines his experience of public service, Catholic and Christian teachings, law and history. From this background, he reflects on the importance of governance or leadership: it can continue the prevailing culture and politics of vengeance or be accountable to the common good beyond family and clan interests. People in power can exert tremendous influence on issues of education, health, land, international trade and justice; or just miss the opportunity to make a difference in the life of the poor and the nation. John is inviting us to reflect not just on what leaders say but what they witness with their lives. John deserves to be heard and read especially on contemporary issues in the Philippine setting.”
