New impeachment complaint vs Arroyo filed today as ‘one-year bar’ lapses

the charge sheet is compressed and clearly better packed than last year’s.

i also like better the list of complainants, which to my mind, is broadly represented by differing stripes and persuasions; cannot help but notice the exclusivity of One Voice.

taking cudgels for the legal battle are no fools, obviously mindful and upset of 2005’s ‘technicality glitches’.

in case the usurper in malacanan have not noticed it yet, important charges filed were freshly ruled and recently vindicated by the SC itself; expect a much, much more interesting tussles from everywhere.

hmm.., this one is truly deserving of our support, if you ask me.

…i meant korean and spanish soap fans…

Just, brace yourselves, Philippines. HOPE FOR THE BEST and expect the worst. Let’s see how things unfold…maybe this time around, things will be better for the Philippines without the lil’ one of Asia (Arroyo).

Granted, the hearing of Impeachment Complaints be finally considered by congress, the Question is How Long will it to take to wrap the whole case, considering how that body’s manner of conducting its business and also taking into consideration the Number of Items of Complaints filed?? Also impeachment is just the first step (equivalent to indictment) and the Senate Trial to follow if the President is Indicted. I have the feelings that the obstructions of Pro- Administration members and the ever round-a-round maneuverings by all the smart lawyers; by the time they agreed on how to proceed, Ms Arroyo’s term maybe running out. My suggestion is, whoever is heading the hearing, if there is one, should have a very strict timetable to scrutinize each and every complaints, without allowing obstructions and so-called delaying tactics.

isa ako sa mga average na Filipino na mababa lang ang pinagaralan.ang kailangan lang namin ay ang mga kasagutan sa mga bintang kay GMA.kung may katotohan ba o wala. kung wala, suportahan siya sa kanyang mga programa, kung meron naman, sagutin niya at ipaliwanag niya sa taong bayan. hindi namin kailangan ang technicalities na sinasabi ng mga congressmen at ni atty. macaLINTAl.KATOTOHANAN LANG ANG NAISNAMING MGAMAMAMAYAN!!!!

impeachment na ikalawa…
ano ba naman, mga walang sawa,
animo’y hunghang na walang kadala-dala?
‘di na lang ipagpatuloy mga sariling gawa.

eh, kung di ka ba naman makulit, gloria!
ikaw ito’ng walang pang-unawa.
mga akusasyon ipinagwawalang-bahala,
teknikalidad lamang ang ipinambabara!

panibagong reklamong akda
magandang hamak kaysa sa una…
nguni’t patuloy tayong nakatunganga
haharangin lang kasi sa nauna’y gaya.

gloria, para mo nang awa,
kay tagal na naming alintana,
kapos kami sa minimithing glorya…
mangyari lang na ang kaso’y sagutin na nang tama!

Reybosco,
What kind of change?
Is it for the better or something out in the clouds lead by the same ol charcters who are a mix between the right & the left & the perpetual fencesitters?
Change using brasohan?
Change using threats?
Although most of the anti impeachment congresmen are final termers.
Stinks of desperation.
Is not our electoral system the demanding of favors for votes?
But at the end of the day it is the same ol characters all over again.
Those same ol characters that w/ all the drama in the heat of the issue where not able to convince the majority of people who want to move on.
Because in this dirty game of politics there are no winners.
At the end of the day it’s only US who are the greatest losers.
We are the ones who will remain forever backward.
The other countries w/ mature democracies prosper.
While tayo w/ all our hot air & division remain a basket case.
All we seem to be concerned about is some sort of freedom that has nothing to show for it..
In a country where “opposition” means to derail & block things & put up a shown for excitment seekers.

Toro, yes the impeachment will be killed.Those putting their hope in it better think twice.It’s a political processes.Politics is about numbers.No amount of sindakan or threatening is the right answer for a partisan processes.In a democracy there are winners & losers.The problem w/ our culture is that loseing never accepted.Expect a litany of excuses & accusations from the impeachment crusaders.
I think that just like 1 year ago vital questions where not answered about what will happen after.
I think what really concerns the majority is the “after the storm” scenario.
Because obviosly the opposition charcters are not an option.
There is no way an impeachment can get to the “lions den” of a senate.Because what will happen is a forgone conclussion.
By the way the senate has been behaving they can hardly be considered unbaised judges.
Unlike the erap impeachment where in a way there was a sort of balance in the senate that erap himself felt confident, until his lawyers screwed it up & the rest is history.

Joselu,

“Change using brasohan?”
Sino ba’ng nambrabraso, Joselu?

“Change using threats?”
Who is threatening whom?

“Stinks of desperation!”
I imagine GMA kissing the Pope’s ring!

“In a country where “opposition” means to derail & block things…”
Kaya nga opposition, look up the dictionary. But two words stand out: ‘derail’ and ‘block’. Now think Hello Garci and Jocjoc Bolante; does it remind you a thing?

“While tayo w/ all our hot air…”
Yeah, I remember someone promising Enchanted Kingdom in hahaha 20 years!

“…the majority of people who want to move on.”
About moving on? Go Joselu if you must move on and bring your “majority” with you. There are things to fix up hereabouts…We know your kind. We see one everyday but they are not the majority..

joselu said:

” Unlike the erap impeachment where in a way there was a sort of balance in the senate that erap himself felt confident, until his lawyers screwed it up & the rest is history.”

joselu, how much do you know about the erap impeachment? Its not the lawyer of erap who screwed up the opening of the envelope, its his allies in the senate. Be sure you comment correctly next time.

Joselu….

“Those putting their hope in it better think twice. It’s a political process(es). Politics is about numbers”.

I think you are correct, if the “Political Process” you mean is corrupt, the way that your kind of thinking is.

No, no, joselu deomocracy is not really the fight between the majority & minority but more of who can come with better ideas for the welfare of the Democratic Institution, so the minority can become a majority and vice versa. Actually the minority is more of just a watchdog, so as the majority would stay in line, or otherwise, you know what a watchdog can do; He can bite you, or worse he can summon the cop and send you to jail. But fight no. Leave if Manny Pacquio, he’s good at it.

Joselu, hayan ka na naman pinaghalo mo na naman ang balat sa tinalupan, kaya tuloy nalilito kami sayo kung ano rin ba ang agenda mo. In a democracy there is no right or wrong kung saan ka kakampi as long as you have lived by the principle of integrity kung saan sa tingin mo ang tama, to bebate “not fight” as joselu wants to emphasize, ke minority ka or majority as long as both parties could come-up with a better solution for the betterment of the many (Im referring to a common tao). And to live with integrity is you know how to identify which is wrong and which is not. God gave us mind to think what is best for us and that is what we call our “decision”, and God gave us also heart to balance our thoughts and from what we about to decide, and that is our conscience, ikaw Joselu, meron ka ba nyan?

Anyway, I am not for sale, I lived here sa abroad for about 2 years now, I live with principle, kumita ng malinis and mamuhay ng malinis, just I pressumed sayo Joselu, don’t pretend na hindi mo nakikita ang kabulukan ni GMA and her minions, magpakatotoo ka. I think no need to elaborate more, alam na ng buong mundo kung ano ang gobyerno natin ngayon, kahit bangladesh dito na naglilinis ng daan kilala si GMA and si Chavit, (Alibaba ang tawag sa kanila), again Joselu magbago ka na.

Naykika, thanks, I think your being fair & objective.
Personaly, I see the adminisration is trying to come come w/ positive social programs.
Yes, the opposition is somesort of watchdog,fiscalizer, road-blocker etc….
My point is however that in this country the opposition in reality will do everything for the ruling party not to succeed since they will become irrelevant.
Because of all this “political play” it’s WE the people who have to suffer by having less services.
The thing is the opposition watchdog is barbark lang that creates more of a distruction lang.
It’s more of – if I can’t get what I want, then let’s go down all together.

hayyyyyyy ambot sa imo, surely she does not have ambots mandate & some others.
I don’t think it’s all about mandate.She surely does not have the understanding & cooperation of the people.
I think insted that we are letting ourselves be controlled by subjective perceptions that are not supported w/ facts.
Talking about the Garci tapes.
I think the garci scandal has two parts: The doers of the illegal act & the victim of the illegal act. What is more important to you.To find out who the “doers” of the illegal act are so that we may understand their motives, or patulan the victim.
Did the Senate investigate the tapes w/ it’s characteristic super powers & arrogance? Or it seems all they are interested in is the content.What kind of logic is it to investigate only the “content” & not caring to find out who did it? Why is it the Senate can’t get at the bottom of the doers of the tape? Is it because the doers of the tapes has also the goods on the senators?
Waht is the purpose of impeaching the victim of an illegal act when those behind the tapes will never surface anyway.Kung makalusot this manner of ousting a president who is to say the same trick will not be used again?
Ambot, I guess it’s beyound yourself & will be asking to much to use our God given brain to think harder.
I think the will of the majority is expressed through circumstances.If you are really convinced that the majority is against her & are convinced about the garci tapes then kindly tell me where is this majority you imagine?
I think it’s better to pray that the so called string does not break because you yourself don’t know what lies ahead.
Sadly, we don’t seem to be a very thinking analysing society.We seem to be a society that gets carried away w/ our perceptions & emotions & fillings.As if we are afraid to think harder.Everything always boild down to what “me/ako” fills.It’s always about “ako” just like corruption is “ako muna”.
We are supposed to be a catholic christian country but we also happen to be the most malicious & quick to judge the others based on our “fillings” lang.
Ambot, it’s always move on. don’t give excuses na lang, don’t pass the fault to the others.Passing the fault to others is a sign of weakness.Why, because of gma you can’t sleep cant eat… sobra naman at ang drama mo, hayyyyyy ambot sa imo
Just like when the American bases where here we would give the fault always to the Americans now wala ng base dito so who do we give the fault too?

Flag, since you leave abroad good for you so that at least you can have a future.I too leaved abroad for many years, kinda grew up abroad where everything is surely much better then it is here.I’m here insted in this sea of madness unlike others who abandon ship & try to sound nationalistic.But I understand.
I can’t do much when some people see more things then are really there & at the same time can’t be an actual part & be an asset for change.
You sound nationalistic lang but sound lang.
Sorry Flag, I’m not a complainer.I would rather look for solutions.I would rather look for the positive & build on it.I don’t beleave in excuses.I would rather face reality & deal w/ it insted of all those who make a lot of noise at wala naman nabubuga.

Retro Mania. Haha

hello joselu, seems you’re taking alone the cudgels huh? don’t worry, warm up lang ako….

http://newsinfo.inq7.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=7084

…..and this is the true color of the opposition, see, anybody still dreaming that ther’ll be impeachment proceedings minus the technicalities? whewww!

…well, joselu, give it to them, perception or truth, their claim of majority will remain as a CLAIM until they realized and gained from it.

Pleae read my post re: true colors of the opposition congressmen, nakakatawa.

Joselu,
Magpahinga ka naman baka mabinat kana niyan. Seems you’re working too hard defending your president. Reserve your evergy because comes July you will be working 24 hours. Anyway, it’s okay because I suppose you are just doing your job like that clown Mike Defensot or morally obligated because of your affinity with the illegetimate Malakanang occupants. This reminds me of that clown Iraqi Minister of Information telling the world that Saddam’s Iraqi forces had routed the invading coalition forces even when Bagdhad was already declared an open city.
As to the Garci Tapes, there’s no more need to inquire into the source because Gloria (or your mother) admitted it already in public in that “Im Sorry” speech. In law parlance particularly on the law on evidence it can be admitted as an exception to hearsay rules being an “admission against one’s interest.” In short, she is now estopped from denying its authencity.
I searched my soul of whether despite everything she did, I, (as part of the constituent) will just forgave Gloria and move on. But after a careful reflections and balancing the would-be-be consequences, I have concluded that being silent will not help alleviate the present situation and will not help Gloria herself because if she will not clear her name now she will forever carry the monicker as Gloria “Madayang” Arroyo. And if I am a member of the Macapagal’s family I would recommend that she not use Macapagal in her name because it’s in a derogation to the good name of the family. The old man Diosdado is so an honest man such that during his presidency he did not even able to concrete the roads on his hometown. Gloria is supposed to have a very superb genetics and I wonder if she’s a eugenics-type experiment gone bad or something else.
Being silent is akin to “walang kibo pero nasa loob and kulo” a ticking time bomb. Dealing with a person like that is very hard because that person may “explode” anytime. Unwittingly, it would also funnel further chaos because the unsettled questions will be forever hanging on everybody’s mind and it would be a bad precedent in the future. If we will let it go now, our future generation will think that cheating is just a norm of society and it’s okay to cheat your way .
Majority? Look at the surveys or in this blog for that matter!!!
Escudero senatorial ambitions? He’s just a messenger!!!
Moving on? Everybody wants to move on but Gloria is the Great Wall of China!!!

Ambuot, you give so many excuse, admit it di mo lang kaya mag move on & understand kaya pinapasa mo sa iba ang kasalanan.parang di ka na makatulog, makapagtrabaho, kawawa ka naman,dahil sa isang tao palpal ka na.ano pa kaya sa mga ibang bagay wala ka siguro mabubuga.puro palusot na lang palagi.
I guess it’s not possible to reason w/ you.But ok lang, iba iba talaga lahat tayo.There are people who learn faster then the others.There are others whoes world is so small.
Saying “sorry” & admittingare two different thing.But you did not listen when she also said that she did not cheat.Sorry for talking to a comelec commissioner.But then again everyone listens only to what he wants to listen.
Do you know who did the tapes?
do you remember that in the congress report of the garci tapes it was mentioned also that all was part of a power grab.
But anyway, I won’t insist na lang.
I guess you hear only what you want to hear & understand.Anything that will not please you is not acceptable.
I guess for you what is important is the whatever contents that the messenger brings, di bale na lang kung where it comes from.ang dali mo palang lokohin.kahit ano ano lang tatangapin mo.
what is your secret to make quick conclussions even when you don’t have all the facts? You must be a very smart guy.
anyway ambout, it’s not worth to get divided for politics that won’t even make you a better person.

indio lawless, please read this,

http://newsinfo.inq7.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=7084

it’s clearly indicated here that some opposition congressman are not happy from the lack of effort of Escudero in helping them re: pork barrel. Bottom line, its pork barrel.

And still few issues are described to divide the minority. One is the jockeying for position, seems a lot of them wanted to be a leader. Envy is manifested also because (according to them) Escudero is vying for a senatorial position in 2007. But what is not so good is the LACK OF CONVICTION from some of them who WILL SIGN ONLY IF 79 IS ASSURED. Isn’t that a character of an OPPORTUNIST?

Eta Rosales already admited a break in their ranks, don’t you believe her?

Just like the majority, the minority is also exposed to potential falling out. It seems to appear though that the RISK IS MUCH HIGHER to the minority. It is inaccurate to say that the perceived division in the opposition is because of the STRATAGEMS EMPLOYED BY THE PRESIDENT’S MEN TO WRECK HAVOC within their ranks. Partly maybe but not the only reason, anyway BOTH PARTIES ARE EXPECTED TO DO THE SAME, do you agree? Propaganda or otherwise, let’s wait who’ll break up first? Who’ll blink first?

indio, don’t you read the newspaper.I got those line from an Inq7 news item.Actually I just repeated it.
I dont to need to give the opposition the beisiged scenario.The opposition has never had a united front reputation anyway.It’s also not new that Escudero is having problems.
It seems to me their problem is about Escudero not doing anything to protect his fellow oppositionist.It seems that his fellow oppositionist would like that he being the head do something about it.perhaps it’s all a case of a weak leadership.
On the other hand.Just like the opposition can make life hard for the administration.The administration can also make life hard for the opposition by making it difficult for them to get their respective pork barrels althought they will also get it but the hard way.
I think the oppostion congresmen should be more concerned of being able to deliver projects to their constituents then playing politics.
Their being re elected will depend on how they where able to deliver & not the political games they played.
It’s all a balancing act.
Afterall, you should not bite the hands that feed you – the administration.
But like I said it’s just a news item.
About those people who moved out of the opposition.I think it boils down to if your not happy w/ your company then you have to move on.

ah, okay, how do you advise us taking PCIJ postings then? The same caveat?

Indio, it’s really just one of so many items of news.If you think about it, it’s nothing really new.Like I already said, it’s old news that the opposition have problems.It’s not about beleaving or not.
perhaps, what makes you extra sensitive about that news item is because the oppositio is leading the impeachment.So obviosly certain people would like to also hook line & sinker the others that the opposition is strong.Yes, a strong that could not master enough signitures last year & from the looks of it, seems that will have even less signitures also this year.
Indio, it’s not hearsay, it’s really, read-say, since it was a writen article in a newspaper available to everybody.
Unless media is the “hearsay” source w/c is very possible.
I guess you must know so many juicy secrets.

Hi gwaping.

Res ipsa loquitor : the thing speaks for itself.

If you have any aiota of doubt with regard to PCIJ posting, then its your call.

The mere fact that you patronize their blog, already say a lot about you

Oopps, iota should be spelled iota

Hi joselu.

Don’t second guess my intentions for its very clear from the start that it is all for the spirit of objectivity.

It’s quite unfortunate that you have relied heavily on a hearsay which you try to recycle as the ultimate truth just to win your case or justify your earlier posts.

I don’t blame you for taking the sides with the president : no matter how bogus she is–’cause that your choice or conviction.

But to create a spin, out of unreliable and sketchy report, and using it to make us believe that it is the bible truth, then I can surely blame you for being too gullible or being silly.

I’m not Alex, but I wish to remind you that as a blogger, you should be responsible in what you write and wish to project.

Affiant further sayeth not

Hi there again joselu.

You did not only second guess my persona but misjudged me as well.

Try to re-read again your earlier posts including your pathetic rebuttals, do they make sense? Sorry, I have to tell you frankly, I got a low tolerance to illogical rebuttals.

To recall where these disagreements emanated, you wrote this : “Escudero seems to be on the way out.They are complaining that they are not getting their pork barrels cause Escudero is doing nothing.Guess ”

I disagreed that you are getiing it wrong.

Still you rebutted, though your rebuttals degraded at it unfolds, I still try my best to guide you.

Now it appears that you don’t really have a good grasp on how this government is being run, much so on how this presidential form of government operates.

I suggests, try to google first on the prime basics before going into a political debate, it will better you.

Trust google

hmmmm, talking of spins, let’s give indio another spin:

http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200606292606.htm

well maybe he can apply his skills in debate from google in proving that this is a spin. He’s a lawyer anyway and is pressumed that HE IS EXPERT in evidence appreciation. Read between the lines KNOW IT ALL LAWYER!

Obviously this professor in UP is biased for Gloria, opposite of many UP personalities that are against.

Indio, I guess you would like to remain mysterious so lets leave it at that.
Yes, so I said “it seems…….
It’s a conditional form, meaning to say something not sure.It’s not even an affirmation.
Again, something I got from the article.
Starting a sentence saying “it seems…” is for me taking the news as it is not taking it as you say as “bible truth”.
It seems is a conditional form.
Anyway, I don’t pretend anything.
I certainly not as smart as you project yourself to be.
And as I have already said that I would not want to get into an argument w/ a lawyer since I know i won’t see the end of it.
I’m not debating w/ anyone.I’m just expressing an opinion.
I’m sure you have all the answers too.
I’m sure as a lawyer you will find something to pick on anyway.
But i still think what I wrote was fair enough based on what I read and based on the history that in the past there have been disagriments w/in the opposition w/c is a perfectly normal thing anyway.That is why I don’t know why all the fuzz.It’s enough to say that such news item was a complete lie & this is what the facts are.
Seems like your overdoing it as a lawyer.I have always maintained that we really have to many lawyers in this country.perhaps your aborido in your work that you are just picking on an argument somewhere or perhaps it’s part of your job to check-out the blogs for other peoples interest.
Anyway, why don’t you set-up your own blog too.
I too have low tolerance for people who push their weight around.
I think the right attitude would be to supply the relativly correct information if you see that one information is wrong & not to go pretending not to defend this & that & objectivity , slant of a story etc…..or presenting your CV cause who really cares.
comming in to strong is a turn off Mr Lawyer

You know what, lawyer or layman, phd or non-grad, the best guide to forming an opinion, I mean is not to trust nobody but your own brain. Read as much as possible, listen to all sides, gather as much facts as you can and just like a judge and a jury base your opinion on those. You could be wrong, but at lest you had exercised due deligence. And if you are consistently wrong, then maybe you have to go back to square one..

Haay, what lessons are we learning from these exchanges?

Maybe we need to pause and reflect about the meanings of it all. It would also really be of help if those who posted comments (especially those who lodged energies to discuss on the issue above) are more transparent about their identities. Wala lang mang link to their blogs (if any).

Of course I am thankful and also I feel lucky to have read the posts here and the subsequent comments. Salamat sa lahat who posted their opinion, ang sarap pala talaga when there is freedom of speech no?

But maybe we also need to reflect from time to time and not only assert, criticize and argue.

I really tried to grasp the nuances of the discussions and trying (to no avail) to pick up some valuable lessons so that I’ll end up not wasting my time.

Tuloy, it made ma ask myself: Ano ba talaga ang patutungohan ng talakayan dito? Meron bang purspose above self interests? Self expression lang ba? Pa bonggahan ng argumentative skills? Pa taasan ng ihi? Or are we here to build divisions, like pro Arroyo and anti-Arroyo?

Sa akin kasi, we have to debate, yes. But let the debates move towards a direction, if possible merong “end in sight” or resolution (napaka idealistic ko siguro). If possible we bridge understanding, compassion and sobriety di ba dapat yaon ang culture na dapat nating ipalaganap lalo na sa panahong divisive masyado ang politics natin?

I have reflected that personally, now, I commit to help become part of long process of bridging thses countries divides rather than help widen the gap. This does not mean complacency and indifference, for sure that won’t help too.

Ewan mga Ate at Kuya, nagkakagulo man sa ating bansa, in the end we will find out iisa lang tayo. Di naman naka tatak sa DNA nating mga pinoy na magugulo talaga tayo. Hindi rin yan naka ukit sa ating genome na dapat away na lang tayo ng away. Sa tingin ko, we used to be magnanimous: we were capable of uniting and helping each other in good will for the best of all.

Kaya sa tingin ko, aahon tayo from the mess we situate ourselves now. But its for the long haul. In the meantime, I plan to view the big problem piece by piece. Which I think we all can do, by being the small/little change or help this country can use.

Yes to the debates! Yes to unity amid diversity! (I admit naging preachy ako and also a bit corny, but that’s what I have to say. Sorry to those who might find this post a waste of time.Thanks to those who at least give it a thought. Smile. Indeed there are better things in life.And, by the way, we all deserve not just the better, but the best! Cheers!)

If a leader loses her conscience she must step dowm. A leader must be honest and humane, as these will be her guidelines in her decision making. If she is already corrupted and have compromised her call of duty in exchange for comfort, because she has joined the majority corrupt bandwagon, then she has already lost the people’s confidence. It has been proven that a good leader who is patriotic and not self-serving, can turn a country around no matter how miserable their situation used to be. Countries like Vietman, China, Singapore, they have strict but dedicated and patriotic leaders whose vision is to make their country better, a respected world player. But we have to be wise in choosing our new leader. Not a photocopy of the old one. We should also change our Justice Secretary (Gonzales) who is so bias to GMA, maybe then justice will finally be served. Our situation now is even worse than the martial law days. People can see if the leader is sincere and they will follow her/his good example but, if she is corrupt, then we have to stand up and be counted because, it is us who will reap the bad consequences. If you have that I-dont-care attitude, you should not be a President because, a President must care. That’s why I dont agree with Charter change because, a leader left too long in power can become abusive.

Hi gwaping :

If your best argument boarders on an argumentum ad hominem…

then I rest my case.

It’s quite unfortunate, really, that you seem to treat this blog like a tag wrestling match , with your another tag team member at may pa warm-up, warm-up ka pang nalalaman hehehehe

And on the last note, I hope you will find time to know the diffirence between an OPINION ARTICLE and a NEWS ARTICLE.

Try to make your high school teacher proud naman hehehehe

sorry indio, i was an elementary drop-out, really!

flag-waver, ’tis the real roadblock to impeachment…

http://opinion.inq7.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=7808

siguro naman this will be considered by a lot of anti-Gloria, coming from Fr. Bernas!

To quote a bit…. “When congressmen and congresswomen deliberate on whether to raise the complaint to the Senate, or when the senators deliberate on what verdict to support, the question they answer is not only whether there is evidence to support a “guilty” verdict, but also whether under the circumstances the preferred policy should be to remove the official on trial to allow someone else in. In other words, a verdict of “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “innocent.” It can also mean “guilty,” but keeping the person in is the wiser option now. What is often decisive is the legitimate gut feel or illegitimate interest of individual legislators.”

So, hintay na lang tayo kung makuha nga ang 79 or 78 as they say!

[…] Arroyo’s scores increased even as various sectoral groups were preparing the new impeachment complaint against her at that time. The “citizen-led” impeachment complaint was filed at the House of Representatives on June 26. […]

[…] THE battle for hearts and minds continues. As One Voice began placing advertisements on television, supporters of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo today took out their own in at least two leading dailies, making an apparent pitch against the second round of attempts to impeach the president. […]
