A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS AND NOT OF MEN!

Illustrious Brothers in Dr Jose Rizal,

May I please beg your pardon and excuse me for adding a couple of lines more:

All the alleged Paras wrongdoings and the valid accusations raised against him WEIGH much more heavily (not only involving the Europe Region, but entire KOR!) than our need (KOR-Europe) for any regular European Assembly (to borrow the words from Manila, "FUN FUN FUN") coming July 2007!

In this regard, we can do away with planning or participation in any KOR 2007 event or assembly called for by a questionable leadership, where our rights as paying Knights here in Europe are trampled upon left and right by a select few who act more like dictators! than men of goodwill! Our KOR must be a government of laws and not of men! (Chapters may hold their activity/ies, but any event called by Paras, we should disobey, to give Manila a blunt message! until his name is cleared!) There's sufficient time enough, till 24 Mar 2007 to do things properly to clear a name!

Any Knight for that matter, who values the Order and its name, must be concerned more about the disaster such a tainted name a European Commander could cause the organization!, should Knights attend the meeting called in Brussels, 24 Mar 2007, without pre-conditions!

If Quiambao (a lawyer himself?) couldn't/didn't see it, and he (pushed) pushes the issue, (with or without the signature of our esteemed Supreme Commander), he is heavily to blame if this comes to pass! Even Sir Hilario Davide, Jr., a man who knows his law, should understand what Europe is trying to push forward: the laws are there to be followed, not ignored!

If the Manila HQ cannot abide by the KOR Constitution & By-Laws (I please refer to the European meeting near Heidelberg that submitted names of nominees for the Europe Region, per KOR By-Laws) that they rammed through our throats early last year 2006 (remember the pain?), we in Europe should be steadfast and refuse to simply bow to their illegal wishes! We, the members, are the KOR! Democracy comes from the governed. Or are we slaves bowing to tyrants?

If they got away with one violation, who will STOP them from doing another? ...and still another? What for do we have KOR laws, "duly-ratified" by close to 10,000 paying members! that Manila even ignores?

Ergo, Paras' name MUST first be cleared, before anything else (KOR matters)!


This is how it should have been! This is how it should be!

For a Democratic Order
For Pride in the Order
For the Good of the Order

Yours sincerely,


V/R,
Sir Rizal P. Victoria, KR
Wilhelmsfeld-Heidelberg Chapter


Our KOR must be a government of laws and not of men!
