The Senate blue ribbon Committee has finally found reason to file impeachment raps against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA) with regard to her dealing with the ZTE NBN scandal. It was heard that she had a hand on the $329 Million kickback that facilitated the deal between a Chinese company and the Philippine government.
Many indicators would lead to the involvement of the President of the Philippines or if not her husband who was all to involved in many government dealings. The prosecution of the couples nefarious dealings were on hampered because of technicalities. These were the technicalities that they were anticipating all along as they were going along with their money making deals with different government transactions.
There is no doubt that government scandals have there basis. It would not come out in the open if there were no truths to it, or at least some sources, the only burden that everyone would have is to pinpoint who the culprits are. There is no doubt that PGMA is answerable for all these booty, but the question of impeaching her is something that needs an extra mile of researching.
It is everybody's knowledge that PGMA was catapulted to the Presidency because of the popular revolt known as the People Power II. The People Power I was in 1986 when the People revolted against President Marcos' tyranny which resulted to the installation of Corazon Aquino as the President of the Philippines. Both people power revolts were simple synergistic act by the political elites of the country to represent the voice of the masses; but people power II is undoubtedly a manipulation of the elitist to oust the abusive presidential puppet who amassed himself in corruption just to be replaced with PGMA who is even worse than him.
We recall that PGMA was a product of people power and the transition of power was by virtue of her being the Vice President of the land. she took the oath in public, was witnessed by no less than the chief Justice, even without the clear resignation of then President Josepch Ejercito Estrada. There were those who questions PGMA's legitimacy as the 14th president of the land, and they really make some sense because there was no death and no resignation of the the president then, therefore putting the vice president on was not yet necessary. We had the election in 2004 which was allegedly marred by widespread cheating which again has not been resolved at all as of yet thereby making again this government's President a questionable one.
Now here we are again facing the same gargantuan corruption issue again of the president. the corruption this time is far greater than the previous presidents having the same offense.
Do we impeach her? Yes, that is if we can. We can impeach her if they can prove her guilty beyond reasonable doubt and that we will not be caught by the up coming election on May 2010. I doubt if this impeachment if ever will push through can be accomplished in less than 6 months. And if ever they can speed up this trial, wouldn't they shift to the legitimacy issue. It may sound stupid but they would do whatever they can just to play around with the gullibility of the people when it comes to government matters.
I told my children once not to trust a friend 100%, they should leave behind 20-30% for them, if in case their friend fails, the pain will not be that much if it wasn't 100%. With regard to my president, I guess I leave 98% for me.
