Lacking the 79 votes, the opposition
gears up for the streets

kita-kita tayo…… this could be the last… GMA and the palace-submissive Military would think the Filipinos are the most timid species on this earth. DINAYA ang BAYAN … Ok lang?, WINALDAS ANG KABAN NG BAYAN PARA SA SARILING KAPAKANAN… Ok lang? GAGASTUSIN ANG NATITIRANG PERA NG BAYAN PARA BAYARAN ANG MGA MUKHANG PERANG KONGRESMAN…PARA MAIBASURA ANG KATOTOHANAN…AT LUMABAS NA SINUNGALING ANG TAONG BAYAN…….IBANG USAPAN NA YAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defenders of this administration invoke the rule of majority everytime and insists the process as political, not judicial, and a simple numbers game. Fine. So let us get the numbers down to the streets and be as political as any mass movement could be and show them the true voice of the souvereign.

Why does the government (through PNP, AFP) seem to be threatening protesters that they will defend the constitution and the nation from any acts of violence should the pro-impeachment forces decide to go to the streets if the impeachment process does not progress? What exactly do they mean by acts of violence? And how would they interpret defending the constitution and the duly constituted authorities?
Also, the so called defenders of the status quo and people who believe the innocence of PGMA are tirelessly chanting the uncooperativeness of of pro-impeachment groups, blaming the latter for the dismal performance of the economy. Must we really be called destabilizers when what we only want to find out is the extent of the culpability of Mrs. Arroyo on the issue of cheating in the elections?

First, they wanted to stage People Power. After a month of organizing rallies and demonstrations, people power did not materialize.
Second, they wanted impeachment over truth commission. Unfortunately for them, Atty. Lozano who is a long time card carrying Marcos Loyalist and Erap lawyer beat them to the draw and filed an impeachment complaint based soley on the Garci tapes. Inherently defective in substance, the Lozano complaint was thrown out. But wait, the Hyatt 4 have a chismis to offer, the Lozano filing and the subsequent Marcoleta endorsement is preplanned kuno by Malacanang.
Now, they’re back to their original plan: people power again. This time, the yin and the yang of Philippine politics are united against Gloria. This time, Cory is taking over the helm after the failure of the Susan/Erap/Marcos bloc. Will she succeed? Remains to be seen. But look at these condescending factors against her:
1. Her Presidency was an abject failure. Okay, its forgiven coz she’s only a transitional leader and she never stole any money.
2. Her aura of “sainthood” has been put into question by the wayward lifestyle of her daughter Kris and her ‘silence’ on the massacre of the Hacienda Luisita laborers where his son Noynoy is suspected to be involved.
3, Her besobeso with people who have Ninoy’s blood in their hands does not sit well with a lot of members of the Middle Force who shed blood and tears to dismantle the Marcos dictatorship.

GMA is the current and imminent problem of this country, Not Marcos, Not Cory and definitely not Erap.

We are just waisting our time talking about what we already know from the beginning regarding the political personalities.

Do we ignore the clamor for THRUTH just because the OPPOSITION are the prime proponent and seeker of it. Do we deny JUSTICE to those masa because the crime was committed by an ELITIST president.

LYING PRIEST

In a press conference last July 10, running priest Robert Reyes announced that he was staging a hunger strike. With passion and determination, he declared that he was willing to forego nourishment until GMA steps down.

Reyes, as earlier noted in this blog, tried to do a Gandhi or a Ninoy. “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.” It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country.

Unfortunately though for this lib theo advocate, he miscalculated the press and the public as well. Except for his closest friends, nobody seemed to care. Not even the Church-owned Radyo Veritas covered Reyes’ attempts at heroism.

A month and a half later, GMA is still in power. And Reyes had to abandon his hunger strike.

Prior to his own [failed] version of Satyagraha, Reyes was very visible on television, relentlessly attacking the president. Surprisingly however, the very articulate Reyes has been quiet these days. When he last faced the cameras during a mass at the People Power Monument two weeks ago, Reyes was not in his usual fiery, combative mood.

Embarrassed? Maybe. After all, he reneged on his vow to shun nourishment until GMA is out of Malacañang. Simply put, he lied.

The moral of the story: huwag simulan ang hindi kayang tapusin.

There’s another Filipino adage to describe Reyes’ experience: Ang taong labis sa salita, kadalasan, kulang sa gawa.

Amen.

Fr Reyes is a running priest, literally
and nothing more. He should not be
taken seriously unless it is work of
charity.

Or it could be that the priest is weak of nourishment today. And rather than doing with a sarcastic comments and presumptious conclusion, why not go and seek where father Robert is. Maybe he’s in a hospital trying to get well to make a run again.

So what else is there Loi_Pogi?

Naku, ayan na naman ang peborit na past time ng mga Pinoy. People power na naman.

Just as a reminder of how People Power “revolutions” have become nothing more than a quaint relic of a romanticised past, check out what prophetic words this person had to say even way back in 2001

(check out the complete article by following this link)

“What will happen if Aroyo fails to do better? Another revolution to throw her out without even considering if the possible successors will do better? Just throw her out! ano ‘to, trial and error? Do you know the latest buzzword in the streets after Aroyo had taken her oath as the new President and after Erap resigned? Well the latest buzzword is “now we’ll have to wait for HER impeachment or the next revolution to throw her out.” YES, believe it or not. You wanted to know the inside story, well, that’s what people are talking about right now. Even my bosses, my officemates who were there in EDSA in support of the opposition. They’re the ones who are now saying, “Next to be overthrown—AROYO!” Imagine that! And last year, in October/November, everytime I get an email/text message from people urging me to join them, whenever i ask them, if Erap steps down, who do you think would be the better replacement and believe it or not 100% of them answered, ‘none’.”

Second hallucination:

“… they wanted impeachment over truth commission.”

They who? You? Who’s who?

GMA wanted impeachment more so she staged this grand plan of filing a weak case. So who’s they now? You?

CBCP was the one calling for the truth commission. To which GMA obliged in letter. But up to now NOT A PRIORITY.

Another hallucination:

“Her aura of “sainthood” has been put into question by the wayward lifestyle of her daughter Kris and her ’silence’ on the massacre of the Hacienda Luisita laborers where his son Noynoy is suspected to be involved”

Just a very personal and a nonsense attack. No more no less.

So just stop telling lies… or couldn’t you?

Then maybe a natural bloodline of Macapal-Arroyo is here in this blog.

“First, they wanted to stage People Power.”

actually, we wanted her to resign. nobody from the opposition has called for people power yet… but maybe now’s the time.

There is a time for silence and a time to listen. A time to reason and debate. Then there is a time to act; to make our voices heard. Never mind other people’s apathy. What is important is that when our children asked us what we did in the time of the dictatorship (of GMA and Ermita and Jo De V this time), we can look them squarely in the eye and say we did something. Unlike our prostituted Congressmen, WE did not go quitely into the night.

wait til you see waves people on the street… jonathan and benign0 wait til see it before your very eyes….

Timtim,
galing mo naman, alam mong hindi impeachable offense yung ibang binabanggit sa complaint. care to share kung ano yung ibang binabanggit na yun na hindi impeachable?
