The Philippines’ political and religious leaders want unpopular leader Gloria Arroyo’s corrupt practices to end. The majority of the Filipino people want her ousted. We are just waiting for the knock-out punch, impeachment or extra constitutional means. Most likely a combination of people and military power will finish her off. Only time can tell. I think the GMA loyalist generals won’t fight until the last mans standing. They are political generals without followers. Gloria is lucky if she can survive politically in the current payola scandal.
Senators revive call on Gloria to resign
BY JP LOPEZ
SENATORS yesterday renewed demands for President Arroyo to resign, saying her "misgovernance" is pushing the country to the brink of political upheaval.
"President Arroyo should resign and turn over the government to Vice President de Castro as caretaker until 2010," Senate minority leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. said.
Majority leader Francis Pangilinan said Arroyo’s resignation is the only constitutional solution to avert civil war.
