Gloria Resign?

Remember the days of “Erap Resign?” Those days are back, as the “Gloria Resign” cries approach their peak, with the Philippines facing yet another classic case of “Meet the new leader, same as the old.” Embroiled in accusations of electoral fraud, low approval ratings, shaky public support, and with family members implicated in illegal gambling rackets, the office of the Philippine President once again exemplifies the cliché: “Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.”

If Gloria actually does resign, and snap elections are called, I fully expect the following to immediately declare their candidacy: Nene, Ping, Miriam, and of course, Imelda.

Nothing changes.

Update, 07/08/2004: “Gloria Resign” Calls Intensifying. Nothing changes.

    sad…so sad what’s happening to our country now. I thought she would run the country like a mother (Inang Bayan image), I was so disillusioned, especially with all these “Gloriagate” scandal.

    Your candidates…hahaha…they would surely succeed in pushing the country deeper into the pit.

    Do you see hope still?

    I read about Bro Eddie’s campaign. That’s right! Tutal wala na talagang mapipili dahil ang posibleng mga ipipilit ipality ay lalo lamang magpapabagsak sa bansa, WHY NOT CHOOSE A RIGHTEOUS ONE. Sabi ng iba, choose the lesser evil, e, evil pa rin yon. Bro. EDDIE FITS RIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY!!!

    Gloria did her best I believe, and putting her in the same level as Erap is a bit unfair towards her. Even though none of you may believe me, I believe her intentions are sincere but the people around her may not be. I certainly prefer her to any of the options you have mentioned—wife of a dictator(Meldy) lunatic(Miriam) crime overlord (ping) religious fanatic (bro eddie) and widow of a really lousy dead actor (susan roces)…..take a deep breath, think rationally and then ask yourself what your options really are.
