I don't believe in rushing to judgment, and I believe that is what happened in Edsa Dos. I think this move by a small minority of elites backed by the military was not only unnecessary and undemocratic, but highly divisive and unfair to the accused and the Filipino people who BTW, overwhelmingly voted for Estrada to give him a landslide victory.
If you're going to oust a legitimately-elected president, better make sure IT IS DONE RIGHT AND FAIRLY, daanin sa proseso, because to do so otherwise is to DESTROY DEMOCRACY as we know it.
Probably most filipinos (and masa voters) would have forgiven GMA if she had delivered on her EDSA dos promise... but she only made our country poorer and more corrupt compared to the previous administration she helped replaced.
For those who participated in and believed in Edsa Dos naman, GMA killed edsa dos and the whole EDSA movement. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo perverted the spirit of Edsa Dos to her own selfish ends.
She kicked out Jose Velarde, only to replace him with Jose Pidal, her corrupt husband.
Ito naman ang pwede nilang sabihin sa masa:
Alam nyo, pababayaan kong gawin ng sandiganbayan ang trabaho nila. Pero gusto ko lang pagusapan natin ang nangyari noong Edsa Dos. I believe what the did to erap was unfair, unjust and contrary to everything what democracy and justice represents.
A small cabal from Makati along with the CBCP and the military, plotted erap's ouster as early as Jan. 2000. Naghahanap lang sila ng tamang oras para simulan ang pagpapatalsik sa kanya. They found a perfect tool by the name of chavit singson. dahil nagaway si erap at si chavit sa bingo 2 ball, trinaydor niya si erap.
Yung impeachment trial na yan, kunwari lang yan, circus lang yan. Wala naman talaga silang ebidensiya eh.
And I would like to assure the masa that erap will not only get a fair trial, he will also get justice... justice from edsa dos. I promise, aayusin natin ang tama, at babaliktarin natin ang nangyari noong edsa dos.
