Arroyo: Not Keen on Running For House Speakership...  |
| |
|  It isn't a statement, it's a question.
As reported by the totally unbiased (with a bit of sarcasm, well at least not as biased as the Kapamilya bruhaha) GMA News, outgoing President and Congressman-elect, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo isn't interested in the Lower House's top post.
Lakas-Kampi-CMD vice president for recruitment and membership Prospero Pichay Jr. (remember the "itanim sa senado" battlecry) reiterated that the president has no intentions of being the house speaker and eventually prime minister once and if ever the form of government will be changed.
Well, the President also made a similar statement way back in 2003 when she said that she wouldn't run in the 2004 Presidential election and we all know what happened.
Hmm, It does make sense...
Anyway, it's just better to wait and see and yes, combining the words "President" and "Congressman-elect" in one sentence is legal in the Philippines.
I just don't know if it's within the scope of "delicadeza."

| |  She need to run to have power. Then she will use that power to depend all the aquisations againts her family. As we know that It's very difficult to fight a person if she/he is on power. Even it's only a Congressman position, still it's a Power. All we have to do is wait, if Arroyo will push to change the Government or she will be on low profile on the Congress.

| | Well, I'm actually in favor of constitutional reforms. Sad to say, there are a lot of flaws, generalities and inconsistencies in our constitution. Even justices and lawyers are divided into some issues which were interpreted in various ways.
The US constitution has been amended numerous times before it was perfected... or at least close to being perfected.
My point is, reforms should be made. In addition, I have a feeling that we are given too much democracy. Too much of everything is a bad thing. Democracy is needed to empower the people but sometimes it isn't worth to empower the people.
Just my two cents, | | | |

| | On the other hand, GMA for speaker? I don't like the idea but logically speaking, it's inevitable. | | | |

| |  Should we believe GMA (Gloria) once again? She's a one big liar! I'm sure she still has intention to own a position in the government.

| |  Well I guess this has been the tactic of GMA ever since. She would not tell what is her real intentions and when the time comes she will announce her intent on time already. So I would not be surprised if she would tell the congress to ran for the presidency of the house. It is rather an old trick of hers.

| |  Arroyo is running for house speakership. There are speculations that if charter change happens, the person with the highest position in the congress will become prime minister. I think that Arroyo's intelligence and allies will go through this.

| |  I found that really eyebrow-raising. You're right, GMA has never been known for honesty. Deception is her game. Why would she run for Congress and settle being one of the many faces there? Just running for Congress is already disgraceful and just plain bad taste on her part. She does not have delicadeza at all, so why believe that news...
