Best Philippine President

[istoryador]

---

After three years, eleven months and six days, I shall relinquish the presidency.”

Gloria is notorious for not practicing what she preaches — or, to be exact, she is notorious at lying. She did say in 2002, in the infamous Rizal Day speech, that she had decided not to run for the presidency in the 2004 elections to heal political divisions. Of course, she ran and cheated to win. So much for promises.

Her vow to relinquish plus her consistency in breaking big promises point to something which smells rotten by 2010.

Relinquish is used primarily to denote the surrender of something which is owned such as a property or a throne.

The presidency, by way of the Constitution, is a trust bestowed by the people. The presidency ends when a new vote is counted. It is not relinquished.

Gloria seems to have assumed the establishment of a monarchy right under the nose of the people. Her manner of saying her mandate is from God and now her vow to relinquish the post by 2010 seem to speak well of her political viewpoint.

The Sona itself was a monarch’s pledge of huge spoils for her vassals. It was like the Middle Ages again where vast tracts of land were promised to noble men in exchange for their loyalty to the crown.

Gloria’s reinstitution of the feudal system in her administration was brought about by necessity. She cannot claim a clear mandate, precisely because in the five years of her term she never clearly won the people’s vote, or even their confidence.

read this bai about kang marcos:

According to former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez, the Marcos family still keeps some US$13.4 billion in deposits at the Union Bank of Switzerland under the account of Irene Marcos-Araneta, on top of a hoard of 1.241 tons of gold at an underground bunker at Kloten Airport in Zurich. Chavez also disclosed that former First Lady Imelda Marcos has 800,000 ounces of gold in unfrozen accounts in Switzerland.

Before this, Australian private investigator Reiner Jacobi, who served as a PCGG consultant in 1989, had unraveled the so-called Irene Araneta account and even went to the extent of claiming that the Marcoses had a US$250-billion gold hoard in Switzerland. The PCGG, however, described Jacobi's claims as exaggerated and too fantastic.

Lagi bai. Imagine ha, sa 80's pa na nga iya money. What is he is still our president? His money will probably increased 40% sa interest ra na. During his time, siya ang number 1 billionaire in the world.
