A couple of hours ago, a silence in the office was shattered by the “walk out” drama of Senator Trillanes and Brigadier Gen, Danilo Lim from the court hearing their case of rebellion. Upon the walk out of the two, their armored supporters occupied the streets of Makati. A critic of Pres. Arroyo, Teofisto Guingona, also walked with Trillanes in Makati.
Notably, the news says, Trillanes have been calling other personalities to join them in their call for the ouster of President Arroyo. With this, a possible reprisal and further fight for political power through arms and threat is expected.
Upon hearing the news, I felt anger for how can a SENATOR have a mood of demonstrating a reprisal when his poor voters’ houses were devastated. At present, the nation is suffering from the effects of the typhoons that visited the country. Many lives were lost, many homes were washed away, many women and children are suffering from diseases brought by the weather, many have lost their property and all coping up is still far from reality. Now we have here senators, ex- president, mayor and military men whom people have trusted stealing the limelight.
For me, I do not see it as a fight for principle nor a clamor for clean governance but a fight for pride and merely to advance their personal interest. Unfortunately, it’s not the present administration who is getting lost nor the opposition but the Filipino people.
Who are they to clamor for clean governance when they themselves are stained!
I hope this will serve as an eye opener for those who voted for a person who has a criminal case, guilty or not guilty.
I believe that those behind this will reap their comeuppance.
