Philippine Elections




A charlatan calling herself president, makes a call to MOVE ON. Nothing could be more callous and insulting to the Filipino people. Having imposed herself TWICE as president of a gentle and forgiving people, she now cajoles the people again, in preparation for massive alteration of the will of the electorate in the just concluded elections. There is no need to make this CALL. Verifiable results are not even known yet and this call preempts any fair results of the elections, and certainly a giveaway of the insidious plans to thwart the will of the electorate one more time.


The elections of 2004 are testimonies to unprecedented cheating perpetrated by the COMELEC, the POLICE, and the MILITARY- the very same agencies supposedly safeguarding the santicty of the ballot, at the instance of a pretender president using the national treasury as carrots to entice the rabbits agencies aforementioned. The people had been insulted frontally and brutally by massive cheating, and now are being asked once more to MOVE ON, as if nothing happened. What gall!!

Gloria: It’s time to move on


PRESIDENT Arroyo yesterday called on all candidates, winners and losers alike, to forget their rivalries for the sake of the country.


"Campaigns are marked by fierce competition but we should be gracious, win or lose. For the good of the country, the chapters on bickering and competition should be closed once the people’s verdict is out, and instead open the door to national unity and cooperation," she said in a statement.


She said the Filipino people united behind democracy in exercising their right to vote.


She said the country should continue on the path of growth while counting the blessings of economic growth and political stability.


Arroyo praised the Commission on Elections, PNP and Armed Forces for safeguarding the elections, along with the efforts of religious, civic, and professional sectors and foreign observers.


"I am especially proud of the famed heroism and dedication of our teachers, and our policemen and soldiers for their impartial defense of peace and order," she said. – Regina Bengco
