MERGED: All About Gloria Arroyo - Past, Present, Future

[billie]

about her statement, it wasn't sincere. she did that to gain the people's sympathy, of course mga pinoy, padala sa tama. to hell with all those politicians. none of them deserves the position because none of them is bringing the interest the people. they are just making a fool out of all of us. it's time we stand and be heard.

[digitalsuperman]

she admitted after all.

yes she did but let us not forget the parameters of her admission.

i surely agree . stop, look and listen . dont just jump.

funny, coz i thought she'd deny it.

[LytSlpr]

O.T.

kutob pa d i na 2010 inyo pusta-anay.

i was thinking that if the opposition won't file a case or will not succeed in an attempted uprising within this year then he lost the bet but hey that's just me. i'm leaving ALL the mechanics to him para walay mahay.

[LytSlpr]

onsa ang nakabotang sa balaod? penalties sa pakig-istorya sa commissioner during an election/counting of votes?

I haven't looked into that yet but AFAIK it's not impeachable & by admitting that she indeed talked to a COMELEC official therefore she did not deny or lie about it so "betrayal of public trust" cannot be applied here.

LEGALLY, the opposition does not have a case against her and they cannot impeach her because they don't have the numbers. Their option? EDSA 3 (because Mendiola scandal is not counted.] that's if it will succeed.

do you think GMA and Garci are talking about cheating in the elections?

[LytSlpr]

basing on the tapes, we really don't know. as they said, the conversation of the "undoctored" tapes are inconclusive.

[FK]

GMA: Hindi na nag-match.

Garci: Hindi na nag-mamatch? May posibilidad na hindi magmatch kung hindi nila sinunod yung individual SOV ng mga munisipyo. Pero aywan ko lang ho kung sa atin og hindi. Dun naman sa Basilan at Lanao Sur, ito ho yung ginawa nilang magpataas sa inyo, maayos naman ang paggawa eh.

GMA: So nag-mamatch?

Garci: Oho, sa Basilan, alam nyo naman ang mga military dun eh, hindi masyadong marunong kasi silang gumawa eh. Katulad ho dun sa Sulu, sa General Habatan. Pero hindi naman ho, kinausap ko na yung Chairman ng Board sa Sulu, ang akin, patataguin ko muna ang EO ng Pagundaran na para hindi sila maka-testigo ho. Na-explain na ho yung sa Camarines Norte. Tomorrow we will present official communication dun po sa Senate. Dun ho sa sinasabing wala hong laman yung ballot box. Na-receive ho nila lahat eh.

GMA: Oo, oo.

now tell me... is this a conversation between an candidate worried about her vote? Para kono madali ang election og para ma protektahan ang iyahang votes?

[Lunch]

one more thing to consider . . .

if GMA steps down, resigns, or will be removed through an impeachment trial, who will take over?

A lot of ambitious and self-motivated politicians are talking about snap elections as if it is the best thing that can happen to this country. . . imagine the cost of having one and the economic turmoil it will bring upon us . . . gutom samot ang pobre.

Please remember that during Erap's time, the plan to improve the collection of taxes in the BIR and the customs was stopped dead in its tracks. The computer software and hardware of the BIR was literally trashed. Today, the BIR is making it hard for companies to cheat on their taxes and the Customs office is linked online to the BIR.

. . . so even before saying "Gloria resign" etc., it would be good to pause for a moment and ask ourselves what solution would be best for the Filipino people?

[FK]

@Lunch: onya... pasagdan na lang ta nato?Â* Buhi-an na lang kaha nato ng tanan taw nga na-priso ron nga nangayo og sorry?

If the economy is suffering... it is not because of the so called destabilizers, it because of her... kinsa ang nakig-istorya kang Garci? Naay ga sugo niya nga tawagon si Garci? Misjudgment?

Basing on the conversation that I have posted... ingna ko kong ang conversation about ra ba in protecting her votes?

Kong concern siya nga hinay kaau ang counting... ngano ga order man siya nga ipa-delay ang senatorial canvassing?

[dnhoel]

naa tay mga options...this case is different...
tanan ta mo-suffer if gloria will resign...
same thing kung atong i-consider iyang sayop...
but let us weigh first which is more heavier... before we decide
on something...
