During EDSA2, I fiercely hoped that Erap would be replaced, but I also felt that Gloria replacing him is not a very good idea either…seems being between Scylla and Charybdis to me. True enough, a few months after announcing in Baguio that she won’t be running for reelection, she reneged on her promise. Then came the Garci tapes. Then the payola. Long story short, I don’t like her. BUT, I don’t like Trillanes more. I did not vote for him during the elections (a friend told me that I’m not a leftist, which sounded disparaging when she said it, haha!). Seems the options he is offering, though very altruistic sounding today, will eventually be the very same crap as we’re having now. Methinks him winning the election while behind bars bloated his feelings of self-importance and thought that he’s charismatic enough to summon the people to revolt. Newsflash, he’s not Gringo (I don’t like him either; true, I really am not left-leaning); he’s not Cardinal Sin either (SLN!). And he had the gall to say that they left the hotel because they are concerned with the welfare of the journalist. That’s bull, I say! I think he’s just saying that to underscore his (and his comrade’s) “difference” from Gloria. Pareho lang sila. Teargas lang, tigil na laban? Ano yun? And hostaging a posh hotel again to make her resign, so many kilometers away from Malacañang? What’s up with that? Hay naku, I’m having a verbal diarrhea. I wanted to post something about this, pero I just had to comment.

oops ang puso mo, TPS. i agree with you.

bottomline, i think trillanes began to believe his own hype and the survey results on anti-GMA sentiments. what he & his gang ought to have remembered before starting this embarrassing fiasco were:

1. answering survey Q’s and actually doing something about what most people abhor are two entirely different things
2. pinoys are among the most ‘pasensyoso’ and indolent of races

i was also @ EDSA 2. that time, i remember swearing to myself that it’d be the first and last time for me. i mean, just think how exhausting it would be if we have to troop to EDSA everytime we disagree with the current administration

no, i’m not overly fond of GMA either… but we won’t be getting anywhere if all we ever do is tear down things instead of improving them

Mwahahaha! Aatakihin ka talaga sa mga taong eto, eh. Nagulat na nga lang ako nung na-post ko na yung comment, super haba pala.

More than anything else I can’t believe what happened to my favorite hotel. Darn, where am I going to get my ice scream at 2am now? huhuhu

relax lang. i was @ edsa dos too but honestly i have no regrets i was there because during that time, that was the most plausible option.

re trillanes, i dunno if it’s just me but had it been well planned, i would have cooperated. iba kasi pov ko sa politics. feeling ko for a change of heart we need a military take-over. this is just me thinking out loud po. peace peace! and may there be peace in pinas!

that’s ok emcee. as a rule i don’t discriminate among readers’s comments as long as they’re decent about it. i guess we just react to certain things differently (personal slant included): indignation, humor, diasppointment, etc.

bottomline, i’m just glad that’s over. now, if we can just concentrate and crawl forward again…

it was really an idiotic way to bring about change. just my two cents. cool blog you have here. link ex? im new to i.ph hehe
