They are “pushy”, self-righteous and “feel morally superior” above all other Filipinos. If you are with them, you feel that they consider themselves as God’s gift to the Filipino nation and that they seem to have all the answers to the burning issues of the times. You can immediately sense that they truly believe that if you are not with them, you are against them and therefore you are either corrupt, a coward, or less a person.” [...] [...] Geronimo Nadal is not a fan of an anti-Arroyo civil society group: “You know them.

(Is this question even relevant at all?) by filipina http://geronimonadal.wordpress.com/2008/02/16/are-romy-neri-and-jun-lozada-lovers/#comment-17 filipina Sat, 16 Feb 2008 17:32:35 +0000 http://geronimonadal.wordpress.com/?p=53#comment-17 It really is upsetting to see that Korina was very inept in moderating "Harapan". She missed on several opportunities to give follow up questions to Abalos who was going all over the place with confusing details--perhaps intentionally, to confuse the viewers. Also, Jun was obviously outnumbered by government bigwigs. I feel sorry for the guy and at the same time admire him for his courage. Let's help Jun with his fight. Mabuhay and Pilipinas.

Many social scientists have looked into the decline of our economy and have made some very salient points. For me, the three main things that keep the country growing economically are: lack of long term planning, political apathy and inability to learn from history. joy <a href="http://www.yourlovecoach.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Your Love Coach</a> I don’t think our main religion is at the root of our poverty.

]]> Comment on Pardon or Amnesty? by geronimonadal http://geronimonadal.wordpress.com/2007/09/17/pardon-or-amnesty-for-erap-whats-the-difference/#comment-6 geronimonadal Wed, 19 Sep 2007 02:11:29 +0000 http://geronimonadal.wordpress.com/2007/09/17/pardon-or-amnesty-for-erap-whats-the-difference/#comment-6 Thanks Selvo at mabuhay ang Akbayan! I agree that there is almost a unanimous consensus that the faster we get rid of GMA the better. Tama ka rin that the debate among pundits and political groups is going the direction of "how do we exact accountability from GMA". Puede kayang mabago ang pag-iisip na yan? I believe that an "exacting accountability" agenda post 2010 would lead us again to that trap which has held hostage our country for so many years. A trap of endless litigation, witch hunt, exposes, and the resulting economic and political instability. "Exacting accountability" is not a new thing. After people power 1, "exacting accountability" from the Marcos' was an over-arching theme. We have yet to see any closure and resolution to that. When FVR came, "exacting accountability" from the so-called "kamag-anak, inc.", the tanjuatcos, peping, etc., was also the goal. We have yet to see closure on that too. When Erap came, "exacting acountability" from the PEA Amari deals, the Centennial Village scam, etc. was also the theme, no movement on that either. After EDSA 2, prosecuting Erap and his barkada was priority (until of course, GMA and her own ilk started amassing ill-gotten wealth and entering into shady deals). Almost 6 years had passed and we are still far from moving on as a country. What I am saying is that "exacting accountability" is an agenda not of the people. The people want jobs, shelter, food and medicine. They don't care whether there is corruption or not as long as these things are delivered. I might even surmise that they are ready to sacrifice their political freedoms just to have their basic needs met. Thanks Selvo at mabuhay ang Akbayan!

First of all because it will imply an admission of guilt. A pardon from the president who benefited from his ouster will be unacceptable especially if this president is also tainted with crimes that are far more greater than his. The dividing line among Filipinos these days is no longer our positions on Erap. Neither is it about our positions vis-a-vis GMA. That a great majority want GMA out of Malakanyang is no longer debatable, Filipinos are now divided how we exact accountability from GMA and what will the alternatives be. nice blog you have here.
