About the impeachement option

Read this article first from Conrado de Quiros.

I would much prefer to see Gloria Macapagal Arroyo resign and call for Snap elections, para matapos na ito. But I'm not worried about using the impeachment option either:

a) If it will force the Mainstream Media to FINALLY give GLORIAGATE the same wall-to-wall coverage Erap's Juetengate and Impeachment trial got.

Can't wait for ABS-CBN and GMA7 to start airing the Paguia and Ong tapes on TV (with subtitles to make it easier to understand) and unleashing their political, media and audio experts to analyze and scrutinze the contents of those incriminating tapes, bit by bit, converasation by conversation.

(here's hoping that PDI, PHILSTAR, ABS-CBN and GMA7 will also start making the Paguia and Ong tapes available for download.)

b) If the Impeachment trial can inform and educate the public re the gravity of GMA's crimes and the military and COMELEC's role in facilitating the massive cheating that took place during Halalan 2004.

What better way to gain the public and media's full attention on GLORIAGATE than GMA's impeachement trial? What better way to know who are the partisan Arroyo loyalists in the House and the Senate who will stonewall and obstruct the GLORIAGATE investigations?

(I won't be surprised though if the impeachment ends up like the last canvassing of votes in 2004 ("Noted, noted, noted!!!!"))

c) We need to at least try this option before we say BYE-BYE to GMA. LOL.

UPDATE: OTOH, I don't trust the motive of this guy who filed the impeachment case vs Arroyo.
