Cheska Garcia, a former Filipina actress and TV host, recently shared a thought-provoking reflection on leadership and power, capturing the attention of her followers on Instagram.

Known for her candid takes on family and life, Cheska this time turned her thoughts toward politics and governance, focusing on how power can shape — or corrupt — an individual.

In her post, she recalled a striking line she came across online: "I heard this saying in a video I stumbled upon: 'Power shows the man. If you want to find out a lot about somebody, give them a bunch of power.'" This phrase, she admitted, made her pause and think about the impact of power.

With this in mind, Cheska wondered about the extent of power wielded by world leaders, including those in the Philippines. "How much power can a man really have before they sell their soul? To lose their integrity and for it not to matter anymore? What has power revealed about leaders? And what has it taught us?" she wrote, encouraging her followers to reflect alongside her.

Cheska emphasized that knowledge alone does not make an effective leader. Integrity and conviction, she said, are as important. "Truly, 'with great power comes great responsibility.' We can see that many don't know how to take the responsibility that has been given to them with so much hope. I guess knowledge is not enough when wisdom and conviction are lacking," she said.

Her message resonates in a time when many Filipinos are increasingly vocal about issues of corruption, poor governance, and leadership accountability on several social media platforms.
