The legitimacy and corruption issues continue to hound Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. She tried diverting our attention from the GLORIAGATE scandals with her "Great debate" on CHA CHA. Didn't work. 80% of Filipinos (pro- and anti-GMA) still believe she stole the elections and 60% wants her out of office.
(meaning, the other 20% who believed GMA cheated thinks it was okay/normal/necessary for Arroyo to do it because there were "no good alternatives" to GMA then, and now raw... they rationalize.)
So up to now, zero pa rin ang kredibilidad ni Arroyo sa publiko, at hindi pa rin niya maiwas-iwasan ang GLORIAGATE scandals. What to do?
Announce another war, of course. This time with "the Left." People will think, oh goody it's about time we wipe out the communist insurgency. And who isn't for wiping them out?
But Arroyo's real target here I believe, are the pesky leftist groups like Bayan Muna, Gabriela and Sanlakas etc. Sila kasi ang madalas na mag-rally laban kay Arroyo eh (just like when they did during Erap's time, nung kakampi pa ni Arroyo sila, LMAO.)
I mean, hindi naman mga communist rebels ang nababalitaang isa-isang pinapatay diba. Ang pinapatay araw-araw ngayon ay yung mga leftist militants na kasali sa opposition movement laban kay Arroyo.
And it's weird kung bakit biglang naging "serious threat" ulit ang communists sa ating bansa, eh matagal nang spent force ang mga Commies na yan, and they're more of a nuisance than a serious threat.
At matagal na tayong at war sa kanila.
Eh mas serious pa ang terrorism threat ng Abu Sayyaf, Jemaah Islamiya at ilang factions ng MILF (who still provides sanctuary to ASG and JI) sa ating bansa, IMO. After 9/11, the Americans wanted to establish a military presence here in the Philippines again to contain and fight a deadly threat, and we're not talking about the Commies, let's put it that way. ;)
But the biggest distabilizing and divisive force in our country are not the reds or the islamofascists, but the corrupt and illegitimate regime of Arroyo. When you have a president who has no credibility/legitimacy, who nobody trusts and respect, and has a tendency to act in a marcosian manner to those it labels "destabilizers", mas malamang baka lumakas pa ang communist movement, at maging recruiting tool si Arroyo ng mga komunista.
Yes, the Abu Sayyafs, JI's and CCP are all a threat to this country, but the commies are marginal and pathetic, and the US military presence here are helping to neutralize the terrorism threat from the ASG, JI and the MILF. I don't think Arroyo will be playing the China card any time soon, LOL.
It's just sad to see that the biggest threat to the stability of this country is the cheater running her quasi-dictatorhip from Malacanang, along with many of the unsavory characters she appointed to the administration.
