Santo Domingo.- Pontifical Catholic University (PUCMM) director regrets that young professionals with conditions to provide an exemplary service to the country prefer to abstain from taking part in politics, from the bad examples which tend to generalize the idea that it’s not for serious and honest people.
Agripino Núñez Collado cautioned Dominicans against forgetting that the Founding Father, Juan Pablo Duarte, was politician ingrained in Christian values, noting that, defined the policy like the purest activity after the philosophy.
The Monsignor, in the keynote speech for the 50th Commencement ceremony in the capital’s St. Thomas de Aquinas Campus (CSTA), hailed the PUCMM’s total 60,835 graduates thus far, affirming that it’s the utmost administrative satisfaction with those who share the educational responsibility and in the University in its 49 years since founded.
Núñez and the university’s academic authorities headed the graduation ceremony for 981 students from 58 academic programs, of which 605 are women and 376 men.
According to data provided by the CSTA Registrar, 77.27% of the graduates obtained BA and BS degrees, while 22.73% obtained Masters degrees.

But equally pertinent is the understanding that UNLESS good and solid individuals get involve, the DR has even less of a chance to see their political quagmire change for the better over time. So how to professionalize and institute the needed changes to resolve these competing claims? Another Political Party? Stronger anti-corruption standards throughout society and in government combined with educational achievement might ultimately shift the balance away from the cagey group of politicos that organize these political Circuses. But isn't this the whole point after all: provide some Bread and Circus?
Actually, a "good a solid" individual comes to mind -- Guillermo Moreno.
Interesting to note that despite this being such a male-dominated country, the women graduates greatly outnumber the men. Perhaps therein lies the redemption of this country?
Of equally great concern is that the leading positions in the civil service are not attracting the best or most brilliant or most honourable people .What a great change this is , for example , from when the very best from Oxford and Cambridge .joined the Indian Civil Service .
I know quite well several good lawyers in santo Domingo , educated at good universities in Spain , who are heads and shoulders above the judges in front of whom they appear,but they have no wish to get involved with any government position here
"This being such a male dominated country"? Which country is not male-dominated?
The redemption will not come from a woman's NIRVANA-like point of view, but rather
from a ruthless, manipulative SOB that will say and act on his vision of DR.. a sort
of Trujillo like figure that while corrupt himself, will cut off "their" heads if they are corrupt. :)
Agree with you that politics is a good alternative for those that failed at other occupations.
It's a great job, if you can get it. No need to know diddly about what you were hired for; just be a good bullshitter. Don't necessarily have to go to "work", you'll get paid handsomely anyway; you'll wield power over those that are much more intelligent, thereby, intimidating them into submission so he can plunder with impunity.
But I'm putting my faith in the young graduates, who'll rise up and put the old despots in their place, wherever that is.
The philosophies are:
Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics
It's only because of the gangsters and populist propaganda that Politics, the study and science of group ethics, has become a dirty word. It should be a high calling.
NO politician is lower than this SCUM that plagues your country.
THIS killer and paedophile. Name released soon if the Australian police do not act soon as I have nothing left ot lose being a victim of this DEVIL
