He admitted to having committed plagiarism.
Plagiarism is defined in online dictionaries as “to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.”
If it were any ordinary person committing plagiarism, it would not be news. We would not be writing about it. But it’s MVP, the Filipino’s personifaction of success in business where trust and honesty are prime commodities.
The plagiarism happened on March 27, when he addressed the graduates at the Ateneo School of Humanities & School of Social Sciences. His speech was inspiring. He talked about learning from failure which everyone would surely have his in life, learning to take care of one’s body, sharing one’s blessings, gratitude, and friendship.

Update, April 5, 2010: I just got this text message from Ed Malaya, DFA spokesman:
“The DFA OUMWA office has initiated an internal investigation on the complaints aired by Cielo Corcuera.
“Initial findings indicate that the documents pertaining to the last salary and death benefits of Arlin Bello we acted upon but inadvertently sent to the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi and not to the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai, UAE, its inrended destination.
“The DFA will undertake corrective measures to ensure that this and similar snafus do not happen again in the future.”
Noong Miyerkoles, may nagpadala sa akin nitong email tungkol sa kalbaryo ng isang nangangalang Cielo Corcuera sa kanyang pag-follow up ng claim ng isang Overseas Filipino Worker.
Si Cielo ay sumulat kay Alex Bello na nasa Saudi Arabia tungkol sa kanilang claim para sa huling sueldo at benefits ni Arlin V. Bello na namatay noong Agosto 2009 sa Dubai, United Emirates. Kapatid ni Alex si Arlin.
Sabi ni Cielo magbabayad lamang daw ang kumpanya na pinagtrabahuan ni Arlin na Al Shola Driving School sa Sharjah, UAE kapag naipresenta ang Authenticated Certificate of Heirship at Authenticated Special Power of Attorney nag bibigay ng permiso kay Consul General Benito Valeriano na magtanggap ng kabayaran.

Filipino World View
The Philippine Star
The nation owes a debt of gratitude to three individuals: Delia Albert, Domingo L. Siazon Jr. and Antonio “Tony Boy” Cojuangco. Both Ambassadors Albert and Siazon were career foreign service officers who became Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Ms. Albert (a replacement has been announced) and Jun Siazon (co-terminus with President Arroyo) are ambassadors to Germany and Japan, respectively. They have been outstanding ambassadors. Whoever replaces them will have a hard act to follow.
On the other hand, Tony Boy has been chairman of the Museum of the Filipino People since the time of President Fidel V. Ramos. As chairman for the last 12 years, he has been exemplary in the management of the museum and sustained in his financial support. His leadership will be sorely missed by everyone who, as I do, value this important institution.
