OH MY....
GO GLOW GO.Ok. This will be my only political post for the week.
To all of you "concerned" citizens bitching out there that the coup was pre-cooked by Gloria and that the "State of Emergency" was totally uncalled for, read this article in TIME Magazine. This confirms that La Glue should really start locking some of these jerks up or start shooting them at sunset on the Luneta. Mikee Cojuangco even makes a cameo. Sickening. Frankly, I still support the constitution and our current president. I, along with many many other silent ones voted for her (I can really count with my fingers people who voted otherwise - AND FROM ALL SOCIAL CLASSES TOO). Considering the total ineptitude of the final days of the FPJ campaign, it is not inconcievable to believe that she won fair and square. Doesn't ANYBODY remember out there how FPJ started falling in the polls in the weeks prior to the election due to his lack of a cohesive platform, lack of communication skills, and lack of unity in his team? Godspeed to her in fighting sycophantic twits like Boy Saycon, Tito Sotto, the Estradas, Cory Aquino, Imee Marcos and the irresponsible media that brought all of this insanity to a boil (I won't name names but you know who you are). She has really been too kind. Now excuse me, I'm going out to Harrison Plaza for groceries and to conduct my life as usual. Long live the midget.

gma fan
i find it sad that the filipino people dont rally behind their leader in times of crisis. i would have expected more support for gma and not brickbats for saving our country from vested interest groups like erap,cojuanco,reds and the like. its so sad. must be our culture.

I think the only ones in a daze under the current situation are those who assume(d) their return to power is imminent and those who falsely equate their 'responsibility' with overreacting. Talk to the public--those NOT on the payroll--and you can see the exasperation over the recent actions to revive sentiments that are simply not there anymore.
Wow, plotting a coup in front of journalists... !!!???
Too bad I wasn't invited to take a group picture of those plotters. It would have been a great scoop for my photo blog ! ;-)
GMA is a tough lady so you can be sure she will be around for some more time. If she can still govern effectively is another question. I guess all those Army Generals are not supporting her only for her lovely eyes...
I guess everything has a price...
I try to sing this song
I...I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
I try to sing this song
I...I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
Gloria...Gloria..!

"You will still be our friend, not China..." What th-?? Who does this guy think he is? Why does he presume to be our representative to a foreign government? Friggin clown. Quit picking on poor ole Satur Ocampo, quit picking on the Tribune, and go after those jokers. Too bad the Time article didnt mention more names. (C'mon, Time... Mikee?? For a minute there I thought the article was written by a Filipino with an eye on how we just love our celebrities.)
BTW, I didnt vote for Gloria, but Im not one of those who think she stole the election--I believe she had more votes than FPJ. But Im one of those who think she bought the election. With our money.
I am not a GMA fan and there is a lot to be desired in her government and a lot to be explained, not the least of which was the purported cheating in the last election which still hangs like a dark cloud over her administration. Be that as it may, I can only say that the events over the week-end brought confusion to many, myself included, particularly because neither side is bringing forward the basis for their actions and accusations. The greater majority is not only in the dark, but I hate to say, apathetic because of the absence of any concrete plan for the future that will directly benefit any of us. I myself just see a host of power-grabbers and self-interested plotters and promoters... And like you, Carlos, the rest of us went about our business over the week-end running errands...
This Boy Saycon from the start has always been a trouble maker. That idiot is all talk. I love how he and that group of morons suddenly started denying any involvement in the failed coup.
The Time article must have some grain of truth to it.
And I agree with you Carlos. If I were GMA, i'd drop the bomb on these rallyists and these self servicing opposition politicians. And who cares about the Tribune? Might as well close it. It's such an unreadable rag anyway.
love your blog and your tours, but i gotta put my 2 cents out there just so the comments aren't too one-sided =P
i disagree.
i'm not a self-serving politician (i'm just a 22-year-old), but yes, i go to the rallies (because i do believe gma cheated, used up hundreds of millions of this poor country's pesos--- have you forgotten the blatant abuse of power she showed during the campaign? how much did those stupid "this was brought to you by PGMA" signs that ran at least 1 every mile, all over the country, cost us? they were blank- they didn't even mark any projects.) all her tv ads masquerading as program ads? course there's so much more... but i think gma is hellspawn, and i feel compelled to let my opinion be known through peaceful protest and gatherings. i *cannot* have someone who so obviously has no regard for the law (or anything but clinging to power) remain as our president. anyway, that's my story, i'm stickin' to it =)
you're young. you'll realize that revolts achieve very little; hard commitments and consistent policy do. and they can't work when they're consistently being undermined by people who are using you just as much as you think GMA has.
To the anonymous who gave his two cents. You should have lived under the Marcoses to see what real oppression was like. Anyway. Just one question. Who would be your alternate leader aside from the "hellspawn"? Try to think beyond just toppling her.
And as for being one sided. I am probably one of only three openly pro GMA voices out in the blogosphere. The anti voices are very well represented. Let me bring up the rear for the silent majority.
All that is needed is a viable replacement to GMA and we'll see just how many people really support her. The protesters are willing to get arrested for their beliefs; I can't wait to see people actually rallying and barricading Malacanang in defense of GMA once Edsa 4 starts.
Hello, Garci! ;)
carlos
the fact is everyone is misreading the situation. where are the mad people? there were more people who watched the World wrestling in araneta (17k) than who tried to rally.
mr anonymous, youre an idiot. you can blah blah all you want. gma has survived all possible threats and will continue to do so. so cry all you want. booh hoo hoo.
manny
wow, manny, such harsh words. let me guess ... you don't live here do you (as those of us who do treat each other with respect) or you're a teen-ager (and still lacking the necessary skills of civility)? those can only be the reasons for your rude and non-sequitur reply.
mr anonymous
anyone who wishes for an edsa 4 is truly an idiot. its people like you that keep this country from progressing. gma is doing a darn good job keeping the center from collapsing. morons like you should just shut up and try to be constructive in these trying times.
btw, im filipino, 36 yrs old and very civil except when irked by lesser analytical minds.
manny
if being rude is manny's way to let you "truly" open up... then so be it.. i agree with what carlos said.. if you would want GMA to step down.. then who'll replace her to fill in the job? who's the better one?.. can you name one?.. i'm a firm believer that GMA have done so much to ease out the current economic unstability.. just take the Peso currency as the best example.. from 57. something to 51.66... does any other president managed to do so... or even close?.. ofcourse we wouldn't feel its effect instantly coz its gonna take some time.. remember that we're on an economic rehabilitation...and she's not to do some MAGIC! that in just a wink.. you would feel the effects... GMA knows what she's doing and she has plans and so far they're all doing good..
and who's side are you on?.. with those oppositions?... its really evident with their guises.. what they really want?... and its all for their ulterior motives..
and who cares if GMA really cheated?? "Sino bang hindi??".. the oppositions should all look in front of the mirror before throwing stones at her.. i prefer GMA to win.. than FPJ (RIP).. coz i dont want the rest of the world laugh at us again... seeing our country go in circles..
the oppositions wont get support from the majority of the people because the people know what they're after and dont want themselves to get used... maybe the "masa" they could but not the educated ones.
lastly.. to everyone that's telling the media that the situation right now is more terrible than the martial law... i PITY you.. i was not even born during martial law.. since im only 20.. but hearing from my father.. many had been captured (and not being recovered until now!!), killed, and tortured.. its gruesome.. eh ngayon wala pa ngang pinapatay.. i know GMA won't declare martial law.. and if she did so.. i shall join the rest to condemn it..
-- Marlon dela Rosa, 20, PUP Student
So, Manny, you're rude and illogical reply is not excused by your being a foreigner nor by your youth. You really should know when you're being offered an excuse. Hmmm... an adult who thinks that a packed attendance at a World Wrestling event during a rally suggests that there will be no People Power. You're analytical alright. Too bad you analyze like a child. By the way, its people like me who got Marcos and Erap ousted. And we'll continue to fight for what we believe in until we get a leader who will put the people's welfare first (over and above personal/political gain).
--Always civil regardless of anyone's character or comprehension level
To the anonymous individual who called GMA "hellspawn" ... interesting choice of words. How then would you describe the likes of Imee & Cory and the rest of those hypocrites, towering pillars of moral conduct? Let's call a spade a spade. At least GMA's TRYING (the operative word here is "trying") to do the country some good. From where I stand, there isn't -- and hasn't been -- a viable or credible opponent in a while. Not since Ramos, anyway. Estrada made a complete mockery of the system and the world would've lauged at us all over again had FPJ been elected. The likes of the Marcoses, Aquinos, Cojuangcos ad nauseum talk a good talk, but that's all it is. They don't lose sleep over the poor, hungry and/or displaced filipinos. They're too busy making sure land reform never happens or that their ill-gotten billions are theirs for the taking. GMA is hellspawn? I don't think so.
If GMA stays, no progress can ever happen because the people hate her. If you are a ruler and you are hated, the only way for you to stay in power is to be dictatorial. The threat of another coup or another EDSA is just all too real that you have to be paranoid all the time.
On the otherhand, who is going to replace her? A military junta? Noli de Castro? It will be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Honestly, Im actually glad she cheated because I'd rather GMA than FPJ. I am still betrayed by the reality that Erap was once president.
I say that we need a real revolution that will wipe out the likes of the Cojuancos and the Marcoses, the Tatad's and the Maceda's and the clown that is Tito Sotto.
Right? Let's shoot them out in the woods like the Romanoffs. And I don't think people HATE her in the same way we HATED the Marcoses. The numbers of people who are truly disgruntled just aren't massing together. A lot of us are willing to deal with her and see where she can bring us. I'm sure Lee Kwan Yew wasn't fun to deal with in the beginning either. People remember the late era of Lee Kwan Yew and all that he achieved but he also had to do some very unpopular decisions early in his career (and do some very authoritative actions to get Singapore where it is today.) Popularity of a president has NOTHING to do with his/her effectiveness at all.
mr anonymous
my my, youre more idiotic than i thought. my comparison of the wrestling crowd vis a vis the rallyists was supposed to highlight the peoples indifference. that friday, more pinoys were interested in the inane fake world of pro wrestling than would bother trying to destabilize this countrys progress. is that clear na, pre? also, your retort on the packed attendance in the wrestling event equals No people power was very very grade 2. i dont share that view and do hope you dont too.
on the other hand, i do admire your strong beliefs. congrats on the cory and erap effort. two out of three tries is laudable. its too bad were missing people like you in our present nation building effort.
mp
manny, you really should stop explaining yourself. Shows how illogical you are all the more. People going to an event they had paid tickets for versus participating in something they were not in on is no indication of, let alone does it highlight, the people's indifference.
I accept your congratulations. However, the 3rd struggle is not over yet, as is very obvious. I am in the business of nation building, hence, my lack of complacency (in the face of a 5-year long inefficiency, corruption and abuse of power). Some people choose to sit on the fence and wait for things to sort themselves out, I choose to make a stand and fight for what I think is right for my country.
please. the business of nation building is not overthrowing governments every couple of years. that's called nation de-building.
Anonymous, you are obviously from Manila. Trust me, the anti gloria sentiment does not go across the board throughout the entire country. It is OK to stand up for what you believe in. But you are obviously on the minority and there is no doubt about that. Just don't let your SMALL but NOISY rallies ruin our stock market gains, block traffic, and create a sense of chaos.
Val
From Cebu where legitimately GMA won.
1. nor should the 5-year long business of nation building involve lack of implementation of gov't programs, massive corruption and abuse of power. If this administration just focused on uplifting the welfare of the people, the people would be the first to rise and defend it. For now, people are just complacent and seem more willing to defend the status quo than actually defend the government for its programs, if there are any.
2. it is because the foundation is weak that something small and minor is affecting it. It is the government's reactions that affect the economy and create chaos. And it is the government's fear of a swelling of the tide that is making it react the way it does.

'Unite and follow your President'

I HOPE you don't mind -- I am a foreigner (an American).
I understand the frustrations felt by a people who treasure their
freedom over the recent events. But those who influence the "masa"
[masses] have not acted responsibly in the use of their freedom, as
granted within the confines of your Constitution.
The reality is, former president Corazon Aquino and her family are
taking revenge against Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for the government
crackdown on Hacienda Luisita, which has ill treated life-long
employees there.
Former president Fidel Ramos must protect his flanks from prying eyes
investigating the PEA-Amari real estate deal made during his
presidency as well as an irrigation project in Northern Luzon.
Former president Joseph Estrada continues to provide needed support to
his cronies who want their power returned so he can return to power
and avoid the conclusion of his trial on charges of corruption.
The senators know the days of the Senate would be numbered if a
parliamentary government is installed, so they are doing all they can
to delay the change in government for selfish reasons.
The communists, well, they are communists, so of course they want
Arroyo and any other democratically elected officials out of business.
Political losers, all of them, because they will always claim cheating
regardless of whatever country they are living in.
Your Big Brother, the United States, is not happy that Arroyo has
prudently recognized the need to forge healthy trade and security
relations with the next world superpower, China. So perhaps Washington
is not sitting innocently by?
The Catholic Church insists on no family planning, just growing poor
and hungry illiterate families. Why? You go figure.
The above are the principal problems. How to solve them? The means by
which Arroyo has shown her forthright determination through tough
management and action is the only way to go. It of course would be
easier for her to have patronized and placated all the above who are
now so determined be rid of her. But I, for one, cannot admonish a
leader who has decided to forgo popularity to wrestle down those
elements who profit by the country's and peoples' ills and be done
with them once and for all.
The financial markets' positive progress tells the real story, and we
who are overseas recognize this reality. The military also appreciates
the President's resolute determination, because it strives on the
basis of Honor, Service and Country, which she has shown to respect.
You, the media should be ashamed for not taking the lead in putting
Country first and your opinions second, for it is not the freedom of
speech that is being frustrated, it is the irresponsible use of
freedom by you, the media, that eventually destroys the freedoms we
have all enjoyed.
For once, stop tearing down that which you build because it (the
government) utters the wrong answer to your wants, and build on the
basis of the laws that have been passed on by your forefathers and
which were designed to provide change in an orderly and time given
manner. This is called "an election."
Arroyo has made the hard choices. Don't you wonder why? Certainly not
for political gain, as they are all the tough choices for the right
reasons and they are not popular.
So again, the solution is ever so simple: Unite and follow your
President, for she is willing to make the personal sacrifice so that
the Philippines may once again become the Pearl of the Pacific and
recognize that with few exceptions, those fighting the President are
doing so for totally selfish reasons.

very well put. a clear forthright analysis.
gary boy
Fabulous. Maryanne. Fabulous. That really just sets the score so succinctly. I hope that will set the record straight for some folks. It's so sad to see some seemingly logical people today (in media, in society, in the blogosphere) fall for the anti-Gloria rhetoric of the opposition. Thank god they are too small in numbers to be effective. I'm glad I voted for the hairy upper lipped midget.
Not a GMA fan here either. But I'd have her anytime than any of those opposition fools who PUH-LEASE have none other than vested interests. Just shut up guys and really WORK for this country! Stop the ranting! That's so outdated! You are too tiring and getting really really OLD! Get on with life! Your life! There is soooooo much of life outside of your power-hungry, ranting, and selfish greedy being.
But for the first time, I am glad she did what she did! Gotta be tough or tougher! Line all these fools up (media included) and put them in an isolated island where nobody can hear or read about them while the rest get on with the business of getting this country back on track. Right on, GMA!
Wow, getting advice from a foreigner (overseas, no less) about local matters he does not have a stake in and whose reality does not encompass:
1) GMA’s appointments of political ally Cong. Benjamin Abalos as COMELEC Chairman, then her appointing Virgilio Garciliano and Manuel Barcelona as COMELEC commissioners despite widespread criticisms against the former’s already then notoriety for dagdag-bawas and the latter for being a GMA campaign contributor. This despite the already poor image of the COMELEC prior to the 2004 elections.
2) the issuance of millions of free valid-for-1-year PHILHEALTH cards (to court voters) by misappropriating P530M from the OWWA funds, just prior to the elections thus stopping medical reimbursements to OWWA members (there is a Resolution evidencing the funds transfer).
3) The issuance of EO 464 to effectively prevent gov’t employees from testifying before any investigative body, contrary to the Constitution;
4) Marine officers who have testified on massive vote-buying during the 2004 elections have since been court martialed (for violating EO 464) while those implicated in election anomalies (namely, Gen Gabriel Habacon, Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, Brig Gen. Nelson Allaga, Gen Arturo Lomibao and Col Nehemias Pajarito have been promoted to SouthCom Commander, Phil. Army Commanding Officer, Marine Commandant, PNP Chief and Brig Gen, respectively)
5) the unauthorized drawing of P1.4B from MVUC funds of the DPWH for campaign billboards and other election paraphernalia (a COMELEC case has been filed against GMA)
6) Of P35B of the recovered Marcos wealth which the National Treasury had as of January 2004, only P5B is left (after only 2 years) amidst reports of disbursements for non-CARP purposes. By law, these Marcos funds can only be used solely for CARP.
7) the lack of an agricultural program to protect locally-produced goods and subsidize local farmers, while at the same time allowing, if not authorizing, the misappropriation of:
a. the P728-million fertilizer fund eventually disbursed to GMA allies;
b. P1.1B from the DA eventually disbursed to GMA allies;
c. P541M of the Marcos wealth for the Natl Irrigation Authority, still unaccounted for as the DA cannot provide an audit;
d. Another P544M of the Marcos wealth for seed assistance, still unaccounted for as the DA cannot provide a list of the beneficiaries.
(There are Release Orders evidencing these fund transfers);
Meanwhile, agricultural lots are turning into subdivisions and farm workers are continuing to migrate to cities thus increasing the need for urban housing and jobs and further importation of agricultural products.
8) The apparent lack of merit (and obvious self-protection) in the appointments of, among others,:
a. Her personal lawyer, Avelino Cruz, as National Defense Sec.;
b. Gen. Eduardo Ermita as Executive Sec;
c. Gen. Hermogenes Ebdane as DPWH Sec.
d. Gen. Leandro Mendoza as DOTC Sec.
e. Gen. Angelo Reyes as DENR Sec, from being DND then DILG Sec.
f. Gen. Thelmo Cunanan as SSS Chairman;
g. former Cebu provincial board member Winston Garcia as GSIS head, who has continued to stay despite charges of mismanagement, abuse of discretion, incompetence and corruption. Cebu is the province where GMA got the highest votes.
h. Election campaign mercenary Ronaldo Puno as DILG Sec.
9) having herself admitted that there exists a “culture of corruption” in this country, there has been no program, let alone, any effort to ensure that laws are strictly and equally enforced. In its yearly Corruption Index, Transparency International ranks the Philippines from 2001-2005 (GMA’s regime) as 66th, 78th, 97th, 102ndth, then 124th, respectively, no. 1 being the least corrupt. We’re clearly going the wrong way.
10) The government’s aggressively pimping Filipinos to work abroad to make sacrifices for their country yet whose conditions are not well looked after by lobbying governments to provide equal protection for them (while spending P208M – and counting - in secret US lobby contracts for “support on Charter Change”, among other things). Why not lobby the Singapore gov’t whose law provides a mere $250 penalty or a 3-month jail time, or both, for Singaporeans who kill a maid? While OFWs remit billions of dollars which, in turn, prop the country’s economy, a vigilant and protective diplomatic corps remains a dream as thousands of OFWs end up exploited and abused or dead;
11) the futility of changing into a parliamentary system of gov’t (to prevent corruption and abuse of power) especially in the light of ongoing massive rallies, impeachment attempts and coup rumours against the alleged corruption and abuse of power by Thaksin Shinawatra, Prime Minister of the parliamentary gov’t of Thailand). The PM has since called for snap elections.
12) re-assigning DepEd USEC Mike Luz to the DOLE after the former refused to accept P15M of Palace funds for the scholarship program of Cong. Antonio Diaz (which acceptance would have violated DepEd’s auditing and accounting procedures). In effect, he was being punished for refusing to launder the money.
13) Causing the untimely resignations of, among others:
a. CHED Chairman Fr. Rolando de la Rosa who, having set up strict measures to prevent the establishment of diploma mills, withheld a permit for AMA (the computer college) to put up a nursing school since AMA lacked the mandatory requirements. AMA appealed to GMA, and the permit was granted. Which begs the question, why set up a Commission on Higher Education if the Office of the Pres, can decide, on its own, the standards for higher education?
b. Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo by pressuring him to go lightly on GMA allies implicated in the overpricing of the Diosdado Macapagal Ave. and multi-million peso bribes relating to the IMPSA deal;
14) the open investigation re FG’s and Cong. Arroyo’s monthly multi-million peso shares in jueteng activities;
15) open secret multi-million peso pay-offs to congressmen for blocking the impeachment process;
16) $57B of public debt such that a large chunk of gov’t budget is spent servicing debts resulting, in turn, to low credit ratings and sluggish foreign investments due to the fear that soon the country will not be able to pay its debts (a sharp fall in demand for OFW’s or sustained increase in oil prices could make that much sooner).
Another result of debt servicing is the decrease in much needed funds for education, infrastructure and public/social services.
17) the unjustified delay in privatizing NPC which continues to incur huge and grossly disadvantageous debts (about $7B and counting) paid for by taxpayers.
18) Lack of any far-reaching gov’t program as GMA’s programs have really been about providing dole-outs to the poor (giving food, medicine, at best, giving land titles – when her popularity is going down) but these are temporary gains for the people. The strong stock market and strong peso mean absolutely nothing for the common Filipino because these factors have not lowered the prices of basic goods, increased jobs, lowered interest rates on loans nor increased access to basic social services (how many Filipinos can rely on their health insurance to pay for all their hospital and medical bills? How many can go to school? How many can afford decent housing? how many have started to borrow from non-traditional lending sources? How many more are willing to risk abuse as OFWs so long as they don’t starve here?)
Among other things, the wide and increasing popularity of (a) going to Divisoria and other flea markets (to buy cheap and/or pirated goods) and (b) demand for instant noodles, clearly show that the real economy is not affected by stock market or peso gains.
19) the OFW remittances and the imposition of the 12% VAT have been the only real gov’t gains (after 5 years!) as they have fended off a further slowdown of the (already sluggish) economy and further downgrading of our credit rating.
Finally, not to forget:
20) arresting Cong. Crispin Beltran partly on the basis of a 21-year old warrant issued during the Marcos regime (!);
21) raiding a newspaper office for its negative (yet, not illegal) commentaries;
22) warrantless arrests of rallyists;
23) prohibiting all rallies;
24) issuing Proc 1017 just to silence critics ;
25) etc., etc., etc.
To any foreigner feeling high and mighty lecturing Filipinos on the state of Philippine affairs, please mind your own business as you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Change your citizenship, live here, pay our taxes, then we’ll talk.
To all those scared of replacing GMA (we don’t need a coup, snap elections will do so we can freely decide on a new leader), she still has another 5 useless and damaging years, or more if she and her allies get their way with the Charter amendments.
You want to settle for the status quo but we desperately need and deserve so much better.
mvp
well said bro. its time this govt toughened up against these stabilizers. throw them all in jail and throw away the key!
mac mac
Y'know....inspite of my repeated rants against GMA in the past, I've finally conceded that she did the right thing by issuing PP 1017.
Now if she can only slap some sense in the faces of Tita Cory, the Kuya Eddies (Ramos and Villanueva), Joma Sison (for once and for all, lay off the Amsterdam brownies, dude), Erap and even Archbishop Oscar Cruz (I bet that he has some skeletons in his closet...along with sets of Victoria's Secret undies)
hello I am
Gesal Marie Arnoza a Political Science student of the University of San Carlos, here in Cebu City, and as a student of this great department, I am here to share what I have.
Gloria have done so much in our Country, If people use inquiry first, read the news paper and look at both sides of the coin, I think we will have lesser people complainig against Gloria and we will be to arrive at a better act of judgement. Well first Gloria said her sorry already, and I think no other Politician can be that honest like Gloria! The opposition? Look at them thay always complain! Can they just not stop? According to my Politcal Science proffessor Sir Poca, The Opposition are just tigers who wants to impeach Gloria the dragon, and when Gloria would be gone, the opposition would be become the new dragon again. Oh come on, can they not see the discernible events happening? They are only augmenting things up! They keep on opposing and complaining, do they not know that Gloria has done a lot of things for country? Our GDP increased, many homeless people were sheltered, and even death penalty was abolished( there are still many more) But despite all these Gloria still tries her best. And some people hates her becuse of EVAT? Oh aome on, do they not know that she is doing this to improve our economy? We have a very high foreign debt, do they not know that? And they blame her fot the increase of our oil prices, well no matter who are President will be, our oil prices will really increase, don't blame Gloria blame the countries are exporting oil. Anyway for the Opposition, Instead of opposing and wasting the money used during their meetings and sessions. I pray that our politicians may turn back to God for enlightenment and for all of them to work together for the improvement in the standard of living of every Filipino, I hope they will see how far behind ( light years ) are we with our neighboring countries, how severe is our miseducation, how high is our poveryt rate and how worse is our economy. I hope there will be unity and harmony in our Politics. I am a Filipina and I am hurt with our status quo , with our present situation. I pray that we will all see and work togehther in the ways of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You (",)
Wala na ang freedom of the press sa Pinas . I can't believe how Mr Arroyo had been blatantly throwing people in jail for speaking out against them.In effect, the Arroyos are discouraging people from reporting any unethical or improper acquisition esp. theirs. I used to be a GMA fan, pero not anymore when the Arroyos started doing this. Makarma sana sila!
