THE last big news about Sen. Cynthia Villar was an encounter with two people about road issues. Netizens had two reactions to the video that showed her, voice in the upper decibel, berating the two. She was doing her duty, one appreciative camp said. She was the typical powerful billionaire-politician throwing her weight around, her powers bearing down on two cowering, helpless proles, whose combined net worth is probably.000000000001 percent of Mrs. Villar's immense fortune, the negative camp said in so many words.

Where was kindness and grace in power, that the first should be last? (Silly question, really. There is absolutely no grace and kindness among people in power.)
