The past two ( 1 & 2 ) posts were all about a ranking European Commission officer who also taught at an exclusive school in Manila. He was accussed of sexual harassment for allegedly offering to give a a grade of "A" to a "Straight-A student" provided that she has sex with him.

Economics is also known as "Political Economy". Therefore, a lot of "Power Relationships" litter the busy field. Now if one will take a casual look at the current events influencing the "Wealth of Nations", it can easily be pointed out that "Those who have the gold, makes the rules!"- That's economics. This post is about a "Sexual Harassment" case against Luis Moratinos y Munoz, a Spanish national and Third Secretary & Political Affairs Officer of the European Commission to the Philippines. He also used to work as a professor at the very exclusive Ateneo de Manila University. In at least three articles at the Philippine Star, Lawyer Dong Puno wrote about a female straight A student "Jessica". "The facts , as alleged by Jessica, are all too familiar. She is a college student who received a failing grade in the subject handled by Mr. Moratinos. She not only disputed that grade but filed a formal complaint with th
