Remaining days in power


To: Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

You will leave Malacañang.

This certainty fills us with great hope.

As a matter of fact, it would do us all, as a nation, good if you leave as soon as possible.  Go.  Now!

We have had enough of you trampling on our PRIDE and DIGNITY.  Because of you, more Filipinos-- especially the youth-- have lost HOPE.

You are the reason why we, the people, no longer trust the government. 

You stole the presidency “not once but twice,” and mocked the democratic processes;

You ruled with massive corruption and lost the moral authority to govern; 

Your regime brought the people to hunger and poverty unheard of since the Second World War;

Under your regime, more activists and critics were killed, including members of the media, thinking we will be cowed into fear.

But many of us remain vigilant.  We, who shall thwart your twisted plots to stay in power.

We will not allow your minions in Congress to mangle the Constitution.

We will not allow you to exploit conditions to declare emergency rule.

We will not allow you to once again manipulate the 2010 elections.

We will hold you accountable for your many crimes against this nation, against the people, against the youth.

Goodbye Gloria, we send you off with much enthusiasm.

And as you go, don’t forget to take your husband with you!

RP drug problem alarming

2003-Drug enforcers have expressed alarm at the drug problem in the country after a Quezon City court recently released seven suspected drug traffickers who were arrested with drums of shabu during a raid in Loyola Heights subdivision in Quezon City.

Interior Secretary Jose Lina Jr. himself decried the release of seven Chinese nationals who were caught with drums of shabu in Quezon City but were released by the court.

Avenido said the PDEA monitoring center was created precisely to deter corrupt officers of the court from easing up on suspected drug traffickers.

Despite the legal setbacks, however, Avenido said PDEA has scored a number of achievements since it was activated on July 30 last year.

According to PDEA’s annual report, the authorities have neutralized one transnational and 31 local drug syndicates, seized P5.3 billion worth of illegal drugs and shut down four shabu laboratories.

The four shabu labs represented 40 percent of all shabu laboratories dismantled by the authorities since 1997.

Drug enforcers said they have not closed down so many secret labs in the longest time but Avenido stressed that other countries have dismantled even more secret labs in their respective jurisdictions. (From Philippine Star Report)

The Philippines ranks fifth in the world in terms of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) seizures in the last 10 years and has remained a significant source of the illegal drug, according to the 2009 World Drug Report released by the United Nations (UN). The Philippines only lagged behind China, the United States, Thailand and Taiwan in terms of shabu seizures from 1998 to 2007. This happened under Arroyo’s administration.
3 countries renew travel warning vs RP

2004-The United States, Australia and the United Kingdom have reissued travel advisories warning their respective citizens of high threats of terrorism in the Philippines.

The three governments came out with the updated advisories on Monday with emphasis on the safety of their citizens traveling to the Philippines.

The US and Australian governments particularly mentioned last month’s sea tragedy involving SuperFerry 14, which left at least 24 passengers dead and over a hundred still missing.

The latest British travel advisory, on the other hand, merely reiterated earlier warnings to its citizens, with no significant changes.

The British warning merely stated there was a high general threat of terrorism and kidnapping prevailing throughout the Philippines.

The US and Australian travel advisories took note of the claim made by the Abu Sayyaf of responsibility in the ferry blast.

All travel warnings by the three governments reiterated the threats against their citizens traveling in southern Mindanao. They also mentioned Metro Manila as a "high-risk area" prone to terror attacks.

On the threats of kidnapping, DFAT advised Australians to be alert, citing supposed reports by Philippine authorities that kidnap incidents were on the rise in Metro Manila. (From Philippine Star Report)

Philippines 4th on the list of corruption-prone countries in Asia

2004-Transparency International released recently its survey on perceived levels of corruption in Asia. Not surprisingly, the Philippines landed fourth on the list of the most corruption-prone countries in the continent.

Not surprisingly, too, the survey has been harnessed for partisan purposes in the heat of an electoral season.

Since time immemorial, politicians have used corruption as an electoral issue. They sell themselves as men of integrity – and therefore as the solution to the problem. Invariably, they reduce corruption to a question of personal character rather than a problem of process resting on the quality of our governance systems.

Historical data suggests that our higher rating in the corruption survey is not due so much to a gross worsening of the problem but to the fact that other countries in the survey have improved on the quality of their governance.

For our part, we have concentrated mainly on increasing penalties for corrupt practices, producing great show trials and establishing commissions of every to hear out allegations of corruption. We have invented "plunder" as a capital offense, "lifestyle checks" as a method for convincing the public something is being done about the problem and are regularly treated to the spectacle of Senate hearings that manage to smear reputations to little avail.

In addition, some heads of corruption-prone agencies have tried prayer sessions for their employees, conduct values seminars and continuously rotate employees. The results have not been particularly impressive although some gains have indeed been achieved. (From Philippine Star Report)

Pinoys for long has lost hope in GMA

But GMA to Pinoys: Don’t lose hope, God put me here

2006-Mrs.  Arroyo called on the Filipino people not to lose hope despite the crises being faced by the government, saying it was God’s will that she lead the nation during these trying times.

Mrs. Arroyo said it wasn’t her popularity ratings that were important but the country’s stability and its image before the investment community that would provide more jobs for the people.

She was apparently referring to unpopular decisions like the imposition of new taxes as reasons why most Filipinos disapproved of her in successive surveys.

She said these developments must be "felt immediately by our countrymen, especially the poor." She said this was the only way to stop hopelessness among the people, which was driving them abroad to find better work opportunities. She would continue the fight against corruption alongside the economic and fiscal reforms she initiated and which were recognized by the international community.

She noted her administration was the first to enforce a lifestyle check on government officials, resulting in the exposure of corrupt individuals in public service.

The President said increased revenues from the expanded value-added tax would help the government fund better education, health, housing, infrastructure, food and other programs for the people. (From Philippine Star Report)

All lies.

The Arroyo administration only worsened the situation of the Filipinos that forced them to go abroad to support their family’s needs. The imposition of additional taxes is a way of the Arroyo Government to cover up the deficit on the government’s budget due to the payments of the country’s debts to IFI’s to ensure the country’s credibility to loan again to use for “development” projects.  

But for almost a decade of GMA’s administration, no genuine development had felt by the people. Instead, corruption only worsened.
