HEAD UP HIGH GMA

If there is one thing I really love about Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA), is her firmness amidst all the controversies she had and still is facing. I remembered the first time she went out in public with her famous ‘I am so sorry’ apology in the most contentious presidential election fraud, which she won. There was no admission that there was deceit in her part but just a simple and sincere public apology for the moral issue that it caused. Then, as if nothing happened, businesses resumed on her part and started moving on to her plans and projects.

Again, the Erap Estrada presidential pardon was another controversy that GMA faced firmly. Amidst all the talks of both pro and anti pardon, GMA faced it all when she finally declared pardon to her political rival. Everyone sees it as a political move, of which she strongly denies to be fair and in good faith. Then again, after signing and declaring that the pardon is pushed through, GMA goes back to her silence and move on like nothing happened.

As if all these are not enough, GMA is then again assumed to have knowledge in the ZTE scam. After admitting openly that she had noticed something wrong with the documents, she then again left the public seeking for more. In the middle of senate hearing and the calls for her to resign and step down, she remains firm that she never had anything to do with all these moral issues.

What she does is pursue all her projects that she says will make the country a stable one in terms of economy. And true to that, we are moving on but we have a long way to go; which leads me to think that if we don’t unite then we can’t expect for something better. You see, poverty is always the dark side of a populated country even how big the land area or high the literacy is. So instead of going out and shouting on the street why don’t we just make ourselves busy, like maybe blog? Lol
