President Aquino: It only just began
Rallies public in drive to make guilty accountable
I have no doubt in my mind that PNoy will make good his word as stated above. To paraphrase his inaugural speech, he said that he has already lost his father in this cause for the country and if is needed to sacrifice one more life from the family referring most probably to him in order to make this cause a successful one, HE IS READY!
Because of this word of his even if I did not vote for him as I went for a fellow U.P. graduate, I told myself that I will support him except his RH bill which I am squarely against.
On the other hand, who is former PGMA? She started as a government career person at DTI and not as a politician and later metamorphosed into a politician until she became the Vice President and eventually the President of our country.. Objectively, she was able to keep the economy of our country sound even if affluent countries in America, Europe and Asia suffered economic meltdowns. She started in the country and made the Call Center industry grow to what it is now giving jobs to thousands. She also started the Conditional Cash Transfer Program for the poor which was patterned after the same program in Brazil and Mexico which I personally term as the WALK THE TALK government program for the poor. In Agusan del Sur alone, the highway that traverses our province connecting Davao and Butuan City was once the worst in the country but after FVR conceptualized its rehabilitation, then approved by President Estrada, former PGMA awarded the project and saw it completed during her incumbency. I also have the best admiration for her consistency in not being pro RH.
In an earlier post, I mentioned the different cases CGMA will face in the days ahead and is facing. I mentioned there that if I were she and if I will be allowed to leave the country(I made that post earlier) and unless she wants to become a martyr, I WILL NOT COME BACK. I will just fight my legal battles from abroad through my lawyers and my allies beyond the reach of the media and by the immediate reach of the law.
Any normal person who faces those accusations will really get sick!
BUT CGMA whether she likes it or not, she has to face those accusations. She enjoyed serving the country for a long nine(9) years as President and she must also be responsible for her actions and allow the wheel of justice to turn. Will PNoy experience the same experiences CGMA is now going through? Well, possibly YES and possibly NO depending on many factors especially his choices as President and whether he will still be alive by then! But each one of us will really have to face the consequences of our choices the gravity of which depends on our state in life.
CGMA knew what was forthcoming if the next President after her will not be friendly and this was the main reason why she ran and won as Congresswoman for her to preserve her power thru her allies in Congress and in the local government. But she should have known better! Even if she had the numbers in Congress and in the local government immediately after the elections, his party experienced a meltdown as majority of her party mates shifted to the administration of PNoy for various reasons.
The situation of former PGMA is very difficult. If she decides to fight back to defend herself, it will be long legal battle, stress laden and unnecessarily mentioning it, very expensive and NOT SURE. As PNoy has said, IT ONLY JUST BEGAN!
IF I where she, I will make a deep evaluation of things and my options. She became the President of the Republic like her Father and she has everything from family to money. She had her time to be at the top like her late Father' Diosdado Macapagal. Her successor PNoy who was once her student at Ateneo de Manila has also his time now like his Mother Cory after their family lost Ninoy thru an assassin.
PNoy and CGMA, what more do they need? They are both rich unlike many of us including myself! PNoy said he wants the matuwid na daan(straight path} for the country. I believe that CGMA does not want a baluktot na daan(crooked path). PNoy won as President primarily thru the goodwill left behind by his parents especially President Cory. Former PGMA won as Vice President and eventually as President thru her own efforts and Mike Arroyo her husband. PNoy is faring well due to his popularity and credibility as an honest person. Former PGMA and Mike knew the millions of reasons how they parried away attempts to overthrow her thru a coup d' etat and the millions of reasons how they killed the impeachment cases filed against her in Congress!
PNoy and former PGMA have their own stories to tell.
My wife who is a teacher regularly reminded me every time I am almost to exhaust my patience when I was still active as candidate in politics that lest I forget, that my opponents, critics, detractors are also God's children in the same manner that my Catholic faith teaches me that I am with a small s, a son of God too. My point is one who falters and repents and does good can be one or united with someone who is in his heart believes he is doing what is good. TRANSLATION: PNoy because he is incumbent can work for the matuwid na daan and CGMA can provide all the information necessary even if many will be imprisoned in order to realize good governance as the most effective whistle blower. As a gesture of sincerity that it is the common good that she wants, she will not ask for any CONDITION like immunity from imprisonment or a promise of Presidential pardon!
President Estrada no doubt has a very colorful life which extended up to the time he was our President. Up to now there are still many questions about his life especially as a politician that have remained unanswered like his involvement in the Dacer Corbito case. But he faced his case of plunder regarding jueteng and after his imprisonment cut short by former PGMA thru a pardon, he was pardoned by the people based on the several millions of votes he garnered last elections as a Presidential candidate running second to PNoy despite being low in financing.
Should CGMA take this course as whistle blower not for the interest of anybody but for the interest of the all Filipino people past, present and future, she will outdo and outwit many national figures past, present and in the future and be remembered as one of the pillars who rebuilt our nation thru a peaceful, invasive surgical revolution on our democratic institutions!!
A good man/woman becomes one on the fact that he/she rises every time he/she falls!
IS THIS POSSIBLE??
ONLY PNOY AND CGMA CAN TELL!!
HOPE THEY CAN READ THIS!!!
