Nothing is perfect. Erap is not perfect. GMA is not perfect. We are all not perfect. That is why we have to react when situations are presented before us. Do we allow GMA to continue despite what she did or despite what she has become- - -no credibility? GMA is a problem and we have to solve it. Democracy works this way. And its not always the expiration of the term. We are not bound by term limits if the situation does not call for it.
Democracy is dynamic because its a government of the people. Being a government of the people, all public offcers must always be accountable to the people. They must be above reproach. Now if there arise in their character that does not befit him or her the highest position of the land then by all means we must do something.
Our only choice is impeahment and resignation. If we choose impeachment its a long and divisive process. Besides impeachment is only a useless formality because GMA with or without being impeached has lost her credibility to govern.
