from president to congress? what do you think?

Yes that is true, but rumors has it that there is a hidden agenda for this move of her. It seems that she wants the position badly to at least cover her tracks on the scandals hounding her administration right now. Being an elected congresswoman in her district she would inherit some kind of immunity from legal actions agaisnt her. Although there are those that say that she can still be sued but with the protection of being a congresswoman she could hide in her title for sometime to stall things out in her favor. There is another rumor that she intends to push for charter change and aim for a unicameral body where if she accomplishes it she could aim for the prime minister position which would be like a president again. having large numbers of allies in the Congress she can also aim for the speakership of the house.

Exactly. She is so selfish, she is not contented really of what she has achieved. Why not give others the chance to show their capabilities to rule the country? I hope she will enlighten and back out from the position. Give chance to others please!

You are correct in the agenda for the unicameral body and prime minister position. However, the immunity does not apply to all legal suits. It is only limited to civil suits. She can still be tried and convicted for the grave criminal offenses she has committed.

yeah i agree with u

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Her tolerance to the recent Maguindanao slaughter always gets on my nerves. Her role as a president should always come first before her party. How could she ignore the mass murder done by her party mate? Come on people, think of this before you decide on voting for her to the congress. . . She may be intelligent but she's got no conscience.

Yes i agree with you. Maybe she wants to regain her power and cover up all her bad records. I will never believe in all her promises, people if you still remembered last presidency elections that she said 'I will not run for president" but what happen she still run. Where is her word of honor? She is fooling the people.

Really so obvious. She wants immunity because of the many cases she will be facing if she has no power in the government. She needs it to stay in power and push through their plans to have a parliamentary government. with regards to the martial law i also have strange feeling about it, but thanks to God it was already lift up the other day.

She wont gain immunity simply by being a member of the congress. What a congressman is immune from are civil suits not from criminal suits. The moment that she steps down from office is the time of her downfall. Well, the only way she could be saved is if the next president is her watchdog.

She is just playing safe obviously. Of course she is confident to win in her area because all her opponents are just ordinary person as compared to what she has. So obviously she will win and still have the access to take part in the government policies as well. The question is why she has to run? She has already gained power for 9 years and her son is already in the position but give his way for her mother meaning there is an underlying agenda for it.

Yes, you right. Because if there is no other hiding agenda with her candidacy I don't think she run in that position where this is immoral for the President to be in that place. Even do she is allow to run but this for delicadeza but she is protecting her on the second coming burst of charges against her after she not being a President...

She is really playing and fooling the people. I hope she will not win in the election and we should pray that the truth will prevail no matter what. All we need to fight against them is to pray that people will be able to see the reality and follow what is best for the country not for a smaller individual who could benefit them.

I 'm also not in favor for her to run in any government position. I want her to rest. She has already the money. What more to run? It's because of the many cases to face the moment that she has no more position in the government. I hope the truth will prevail and they will be punished soon.

No. That is not a necessary condition. The constitution even protects the president from leaving her position before her term ends. The purpose is to ensure stability in the government. There is no twisting of the rules in relation to this issue.
