I fully agree with Signor Machiavelli that a leader – a governor, an administrator or whatever other title may be assigned to him – should be feared. A leader should be feared but respected. At the time of his death Arsenio Lacson undoubtedly was one of the brightest stars in the Philippine political firmament. And, in the considered view of many knowledgeable observers, Arsenio Lacson would have emerged victorious in that election. Arsenio Lacson was a true leader, not a bogus one.
