“we deserve the government that we have… It also means that a change in leadership is not the primary “revolution” that the country needs but a reorientation of values, which might take anytime between ten years to forever…”

Hindi po naman. Ang patunay na may pagbabagong maaring magsimula sa bawa’t is sa atin ay ang 8 milyong mga kababayan nating nasa ibayong dagat… ang OFWs na siyang bumabalikatc sa ekonomiya natin at kabang bayan na walang awa namang pinagnanakawan ng mga nasa kapangyarihan.

“No. Up and until ordinary Filipinos also become the change they want their leaqders to be.”

Then we deserve the government that we have… It also means that a change in leadership is not the primary “revolution” that the country needs but a reorientation of values, which might take anytime between ten years to forever…

unless something drastic happens.

What that “something drastic” is, I have no idea.

“Is there a guarantee that history won’t repeat itself?”

No. Up and until ordinary Filipinos also become the change they want their leaqders to be.

Kung manatili tayon na laging naghahanap ng padrino, ng pagbebenta ng ating boto,ng pagturing sa mga batas bilang ‘optional’, mauulit at mauulit ang kasaysayan.

I think Mrs. Arroyo will remain in power till she ends her term in 2010.

If her term ends up abruptly, who will replace her?

As I remember, Erap was ousted only to be replaced by this president and this messy govt that we have now.

Is there a guarantee that history won’t repeat itself?

“…is there anything else worth writing about? i guess the gossip mill has to keep running for some people. it’s the only thing that keeps them going, it seems. what a crying shame!”

Atty. Ben,

I am in Manila in direct touch with multiple sources in government, including element in the military, and both sides of the political fence.

Visit your motherland again soon, talk to our compatriots, and walk in our streets.

Then revisit your comment.

Our intervention in this process is indirect; we are here to offer our life’s experiences, and having done that we must await this development with respect.

since when has gma’s regime not been “in trouble”? if one gets a buck for every media report/commentary that proclaims a “plot” to oust the president since she held the office, he/she would be wealthy by now.

is there anything else worth writing about? i guess the gossip mill has to keep running for some people. it’s the only thing that keeps them going, it seems. what a crying shame!

The EQualizer Post fervently hopes that Barack Obama will find some time from his busy schedule to meet Gloria Arroyo during her brief stopover in Chicago.

If this happens, Barack could compare notes with Gloria on how presidential elections in their respective countries are conducted.
