Answering the Lawyer

Sabi niya:

A lot of people will probably be thinking about going to that vigil. If you’re one of them, I can only wish that you ask yourself first: (1) Have I heard the entire tapes (or have a read the transcripts of the entire tapes from a realiable source)?

I have already listened to the most of the damaging parts of the tape, and it is REALLLY bad for GMA.

And even though I haven't heard the entire tape (3 hours long), the 36 minutes that I have heard between her and Garcy is enough to force Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to resign if the tapes are authentic.

(2) Based on what I have heard (or read), am I convinced that Gloria Arroyo is guilty of a crime?

Yes. But you really don't even need the tapes to tell you that eh. There are enough election fraud evidence out there to show that GMA stole the last election.

The tape, if proven to be real, is just another nail in GMA's coffin... the icing on the cake... the straw that broke the camel's back...

(3) Is there no alternative except to overthrow her government?

Let her resign. Then ask for a recall election. Either Drilon or Noli de castro becomes "acting president" habang ino-organize pa ang election to replace arroyo.

See, we’ve been through this hellhole before… overthrowing governments… people power… how much better off are we now than before 1986? Before 2001?

Don't lump Edsa 1 and Edsa 2 together, SL. I supported Edsa one because we needed to restore democracy back in the Philippines and remove the dictator Marcos.

Edsa Dos OTOH is the ugly, illegitimate, and unconstitutional stepchild of Edsa One. I didn't participate in it. Heck, majority of the Filipinos didn't participate in it. Rally lang yan ng mga anti-erap elites, ng simbahang katoliko, at military (and a few leftist groups).

As far as I'm concerned, Edsa Dos is a Big Lie.

ANYWAYS, kung totoo nga yung laman ng tape, handa na ba kayong hingiin ang resignation ni Arroyo?
