Si Haydee Yorac at ang coco levy funds

(Unang nalathala sa Pinoy Gazette at ipinost sa Titik ni Ederic noong May 6, 2005. Muling inilalathala rito bilang pag-alaala kay Haydee Yorac.)

Dati na nating sinabi na isang inspirasyon para sa kabataan si Haydee Yorac, dating tagapangulo ng Philippine Commission on Good Government at 2004 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service (PCGG). Isa siyang modelo ng lingkod-bayang marangal at tapat sa kanyang gawain. Inialay niya halos ang buong buhay sa serbisyo publiko.

Ngunit tulad ng marami nang istoryang paulit-ulit lamang, katarantaduhan na naman ang isinukli ng mga may kapangyarihan sa katapatan ni Yorac. Tunay ngang sa bayang itong ‘di lamang pugad ng luha at dalita kundi binabalot din ng kabalintunaan, ang anumang maliwanag ay pinipilit na palamlamin ng mga kalaban ng katuwiran.
