"I am sorry...." ano?

IT WAS THE the most watched half-ass, all-lies apology broadcasted in the archipelago. In fact, it’s the only presidential broadcast that was highly anticipated by everyone for 21 days since the tapes were discovered. In regular presidential coverage involving the esteemed office there would be no casual leaks nor precursors to drum up the biggest drama in history, after all everything was deemed proper journalistic business. And after the drama we saw, most of the administration camp allies and “entertainment” personalities have to come up with write-ups and mini-interviews purporting to promote or give support to the presidential show.

did anyone believe her performance? I DONT THINK SO..

But that presidential broadcast was unique. It looked more like a drama movie shoot. An odd mix of viewers were present and glued to their screens. Everyone was watching. Not only the masa, the oligarchs, the elitist and the academe, the pro-tradpols and the oppositions were all in hand to watch. while behind the broadcast was foremost director l.kashiwahara and a very good production crew. while her PR and public image firms were wisphering and hoping that they can send out a good product and that their star for the night would be able to deliver….

The casting & production was the best there was. No limitations capped the budget… this must be perfect to a “t”.

When the clock struck 7, the ‘Ipokrita’ surfaced and started to spew out lies. The lies covered the airwaves and was seen & heard as far as local tv , sattelite & radio broadcast could cover the whole archipelago. Arroyo was every inch the biggest drama-fart celebrity. But despite her emotional outpour, Ms. Arroyo will forever be called a “sham president.” She has been dubbed by some as Queen of Philippine Thievery and Corruption but the title was apparently given her by some people ONLY by virtue of her being a woman and could not be called the King which was reserved for the first gentleman. No one believed her apology [aside form known allies and alalays]. She was after all the biggest lightweight when it comes to acting.

Without the aid of a proper and well thought out script though, Arroyo came out as a trying hard actress. As hard as Kashiwahara’s group tried to humanize her they couldn’t still make her cry crocodile tears. For how could one who has mocked the people’s will by stealing the presidency do so? For someone who’s been called names: manhid, arogante, singungaling, magnanakaw and walang hiya… crying is not an option. The so called apology she gave was full of holes and lies - it did not exactly coincide with her other statements before mocking people to make a rally on manila day and daring people by saying - so what? The apology can not of course just be accepted. For whoever heard of an apology without proper restitution.maybe in later years, people would forgive her but they won’t forget that she’s the one to be blamed for the true death of philippine democracy. besides people have branded here speech - “Kapal ng Apoglogy”.

And how her allies enjoyed Ms Arroyo’s show! And how she enjoyed and relish the moment after the camera stopped. She cheered and hoped “makaisha shana tayo uli sha mga tao”. nothing there left for us plain folks to get disappointed.Every statement made in the apology was a soundbyte that rang like “hello garci”.

After her “show,” the allied tongressman and trapos praised Arroyo for her “courage to admit her mistake”. Lacson however kept saying “now that she authenticated the tapes. she has only one thing to do, that is to vacate”. says some of her allies “the christian thing to do is to let her continue to govern us”. Some political analyst and some business leaders spewed out opinions that Arroyo not resign or the philippines will find herself hacked into different states [ie state of ilocos & cebu] states. Some compared her to Former President Clinton. Arroyo they say can be forgiven totally in view of the dire thought of having a De Castro led government.

To all these, I say: UKINAMSHIT - buhay ka pa??

Thank God for the palace’s stupidity of providing us damning evidence thru mr.Bunye… Who else would have known about this can of fucking worms? Had she not been wiretapped we would have dealt with her family’s greed & the jueteng issue for now. we should never have had this worst family as the 1st family ever. Remember: law of karma says what goes around comes around. Think Erap being ousted. now its her turn.

We are mired in a serious political, economic and moral crisis. And all Arroyo offer’s is to continue her governance without a mandate? whatelse are they hiding that’s causing to try and continue to hold on to power?

We have a severely damaged presidency. And all Arroyo can offer is a halfbaked apology and not a resignation?

We have a corrupt Senate and a crooked Lower House. And her allies are promptly wheeling and dealing to block any opposition move to impeach her. And all they can afterwards offer is the word “NOTED”?

Think.

It was indeed a different Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who appeared before us with a stupid half-ass apology. For the party members of the administration, it was encouraging. “makaka-isa na naman tayo. happy days are back again”. This is alarming. The apparent loss of delicadeza has totally corrupted her and her cohorts.

The powers-that-be have seen an opportunity to continue corruption in all the high places. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
