Erap on his commercial for Genuine Opposition was saying about fighting against corruption, if I'm not mistaking. Well, it's funny to think it's coming from his mouth when he had been impeached because of the same reason. Wherein our many before was used for his mistresses. Well, this is how dirty politics is in the Philippines!

They grabbed the Presidency from Erap. If this was not so, for sure Erap was not charged. Those who grabbed the power are still in position and therefore as long as they are there, Erap will stay in confinement, that's just natural because he's the enemy of those who are now running the government. This will end anyway and hopefully, when GMA is gone, the Philippines can start.

Erap is impeached illegally,meaning he is removed from power without any due process of law.A president can be impeached if the accusations are proven or he is mentally or physically incapable of doing his duties as president.All this criteria are not met and yet he is ousted.If you still believe that Erap is guilty of corruption,then why are the prosecutors walkout of the impeachment trial.Davide should have given the prosecutors some warning or penalties,but he didn't do it because at the start it is their plan to coup'd etat the president.If you still don't believe,its been 6 years since,why doesn't the Ombudsman give the verdict? guilty or not guilty.That is the dillema,if they say guilty its very unbelievable and many Filipinos know the truth and it may lead to a revolution.If not guilty, then what is Gloria doing in Malacanang and all of her appointees will be in a shameful position and worst Gloria maybe put to jail together with Davide.Wake up my friend,the deposit slip is owned by Dechaves and senator Pimentel read it in front of the television.We the Filipinos must wake up.

Yes i totally agree with that, erap was kicked out of malacanang without due process of law. and that's to imply that our justice system is really taking it's way to be obsolete. our laws must be tailored to match our needs and that's the job of the senators and the congress. well if we could comply with the law and abide the law we could never have anything happened something like that.

In the Philippines, sometimes you have to realized that politics is just a big joke. In others words "wheather wheather lang yan'. It is indeed ironic why people believe a black kettle accusing another black wood of their blackness.
Only in the Philippines indeed. At the end, it is up to us to believe whatever we want to believe. Politics is really going to the dog here in our country. Dog for President, anyone?

It is indeed quite ironic that Erap is now the champion in anti-corruption when everybody knows that his administration also reek of corruption -- how big or how small is not my topic here. No president get ever successful in eradicating or even minimizing graft and corruption unless the president has an omnipresent power like God to go after all government officials one by one at all times. Erap is never so clean. Erap is never a saint that i should take his words like an epistle. Our political system is already a very decayed one needing a miracle to clean up -- who will be that messiah to clean up I don't know.
I rather think of survival first of me and my family than to think the words of the politicians and those false messiahs claiming to save the Philippines. Politics is indeed like a black "kaldero" accusing the black "kawali" of its darkness. How sad. But don't worry, there is no nations that is really spared of this "going-down-to-the-dog" societal trend.
