Question: Aside from the President of the Republic (GMA), which person or group of persons wields the most power in the government today? if you can share one, please tell us why and with any significat event or proof. Than you :mrgreen:

ERAP ESTRADA..although he is currently a lame duck president but his minions are all over the government. They do whatever it cost to pester the current adminstration.

sorry...i got distracted by your avatar. I believe the archbishop has some influence considering a lot of Filipinos are catholic. Just a guess though no proof.

Haha sorry about that @Beetlebum I got it from somebody I thought it's cool.. I will change it for you.

Anyway, what about the Vice President? by default Noli de Castro is the second powerful person in the Phils.. but then do you think he can run the country just in case he will become a successor to GMA?

What about Sec. Norberto Gonsalez? he was able to process contracts in behalf of the Philippines.. do you think that's something a power that no other folks can do?

I do have preference to the Chief Justice Hilardo Davide.. he has a highest power in the judicial branch in the republic.. :mrgreen:

business men. -> they can pressure our government as well.
people -> ideally. we should have the power.
Military Arm and AFP. -> without their support. the administration will be powerless.
So far, no "one person" has a big influence over our country.

people today are pretty much divided. but the "majority" sides with the administration.

I believe Abu Sayaff group have secret power coz they are still alive above and beyond government sharp attack to them.....

What about the military? they are a powerful organization and they should not be part of the political influences.[br]Date Posted: October 05, 2005, 08:46:40 AM_________________________________________________A hh grabe gyud mo na huna2x an? share mo kay mau ni akong assignment hehe
