My hometown is far from the definition of a barrio, but definitely closer to one than it is to the city. This is a refreshing collection of anecdotes from someone who served as DOH Secretary and later as Senator. We should elect more leaders like Juan Flavier, who pursued genuine reform and never acted merely for optics. Enough of the Dela Rosas, Dutertes, Cayetanos, Legardas, Padillas, and Villars in this country. We can do so much better. Enough of this circus.
