The government has often been run like hell, and undoing the damage needs a lot
of work.

This was President Estrada's response yesterday to a call from World Bank
president James Wolfensohn to address corruption and promote transparency and
public accountability in government.

The response was borrowed from Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon, who
once said he preferred "a government run like hell by Filipinos to one run like
heaven by the Americans."

Quezon at the time was negotiating for Philippine independence from the United
States.
