Arroyo in Congress will make next president ‘transitionary’
MANILA, Philippines — President Arroyo’s bid for a seat in the Lower House is meant to render her successor, presumably Senator Benigno “`Noynoy’’ Aquino III, who has a massive lead in the surveys over his rivals, as merely “transitionary” by personally leading Charter change efforts to shift to a parliamentary form of government soon after the elections.
“Her ultimate goal is to become House Speaker and ram through her burning desire to change the Constitution. Since she cannot hope to beat Noynoy, her next best option is to render his victory useless and lead the change in form of government,’’ said Sen. Mar Roxas, Aquino’s running mate in the Liberal Party ticket.
Roxas claimed Ms Arroyo’s run for a congressional seat was part of a scheme to perpetuate herself in power through Charter change which, Roxas said, she planned to follow through under a constitutional convention (Con-con) in the next administration.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

I think we should now hope na sumabog uli ang Pinatubo at burahin na sa mapa ang district ni GMA.

Ka liit na babae pero ubod naman ng kapal ang mukha ni GMA! Wala siyang pakialam kung ano man ang sabihin ng maraming ayaw na sa kanya. Di namin siya tatantanan ng batikos!

GMA is a president who by experience and history we know as someone we cannot trust, as someone who will not do what is moral, what is right and who we cannot depend on doing what is lawful. she is a president who has a habit of serving her self interest and will do anything, right or wrong just to serve her own personal political interest.
The opposition must now file a formal complain to stop GMA from her bad motives for this country .
Citing Section 4,Art.7 of the constitution that says ” The President is not elegible for ANY re-election ” Kung kaya ni GMA na ibaluktot ang batas ,dapat,ipakita ni Noynoy as a Leader na hindi niya ito papayagan …. We stand by for him because of his Advocacy …and he has to sustain that Hope of the people … Kahit Matalo basta lumalaban okey lang , basta sa kapakanan ng bayan …

I like the word MEGALOMANIAC for GMA he-he-he
(it’s my 1st time to encounter this word).
A person who is obsessed with their own power; a person who has delusions about his own power and importance.

@Awie,walang problema yan ni gloria, she showers project,to her district,at saka ang daming pera na gagamitin nya,money talks,iwan ko kun magpunta doon ang killer machine,dahil nasa talyer pa for repair. Yan ang problema kung hindi magising ang mga tao wala talagang pagbabago ang bayan natin,mas lalong kawawa ang mga mahihirap.

An interview with Mirriam …
Is she(GMA) qualified to run for congressman? Answer: yes. Because the Constitutional says the president shall not be legible for any reelection, ” Santiago said.
Bakit kaya nagiging confirmation sa sinasabi ni Brenda ang provision sa constitution that speaks otherwise ? The provision is contradictory … sira ulo yata talaga itong si Mirriam Brenda a… How can the LP or other oppositions will not file a protest for a fact that there is some doubts in the interpretation of the law . They have to be reminded , if this will not be resolved , it will continue and will become a precedent in the future … the act committed is unfair and being interpreted as immoral by the religious sector primarily because … it constitutes an unlevel playing field for those who wish to serve the people . All the officers that will conduct , officiate and moderate the conduct of election is under the president’s command plus the machinery the president can easily create to dictate the outcome of the election . Why we should allow this immoral and deceitful act of governance of GMA .
