Inititators of Edsa 2 which brought down the presidency of Joseph Estrada and put to power Gloria Macapagal Arroyo now claims that Joseph Estrada is a better president than the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. They said through a certain Lea Navarro that Mr. Estrada is morally qualified than Mrs. Arroyo. She compared than Estrada faced all the charges against him and allowed himself to be jailed in the process..but Mrs. Arroyo on the other hand used all necessary resources to cover up the sins she has done like cheating in the presidential election.

Sir on my opinion i agree that Joseph Estrada is more capable being president than Mrs. Arroyo. It's just so happen that Estrada's loyal friend get on the other side. Just my opinion. By the way nice topic sir. ^_^

Overall Erap is much better than Gloria, look what she had done. We are fooled in 2004 and we can't get "angal angal" because she have tight grip over her military generals. Don't get me wrong i'm not an erap fan. But i do believe him and symphatize with his cause since the period of his persecution and the ensuing edsa 2. its an era when my school just made us to go in edsa or else we get to fail our exam in our history class in high school. i think i've aligned myself to the silent majority. before those events, i'm an fvr fan, at 12 years old. but i quickly changed sides as events culminated. i've learned that all along fvr et al makati business club is plotting many ways, instances to oust that fool erap. and alas oust they have succeed, after so many an attempt, you name it they have thought of it. chavit is their guardian angel. i've read that you don't ahve to be an economist to stir your country to growth. many countries became economic powers and stable because of leaders that can command its people, in simpler terms, has the power of persuasion, charisma, good in leadership. A strong character. erap has a large potential. and it can drive our economy to great heights.

Well I think this is just sad that everything we did was to change for the better but it got even more worse than the previous. But if you would ask me both person should not be there at all. Estrada being so naive and as they say he lack the education and skill to be president at all. And GMA is so connivingly good at hiding things to enrich herself in power both should never have landed as presidents. Unfortunately we don't have the choice at all we chose according to popularity and not according to capability of a person. It is us who voted for these person who should be blamed we were given the power to choose and yet we did nothing when we saw the opportunity to make our politics clean.

You see,Erap in his presidency can use the military and the police to maintain his presidency,but he did not do it.That is a sign that he did not do whatever is charged against him.Despite his being a womanizer,a drinker,and a gambler,he is a true gentleman when faced with charges.On the other hand,a mere rally and Gloria is in panic,and the police are brutally outrageous,that is a sign of guilt.Erap is sentenced as guilty beyond reasonable doubt,but where is that reasonable doubt,he is sentenced because of the accusation of Singson,the primary witness,without any documents,circumstantial evidence or any proof.Proof of this is Jinggoy,if Erap is guilty,then Jinggoy and other co accused must be guilty.

And who really prod them to remove Erap? Now, they realized their mistakes? Oh common, people! Why don't they crucify themselves since they all admitted their mistakes of ousting Mr. Estrada from power.
Look I have never voted for Mr. Estrada once because he is a big joke in our political landscape. Mrs. Arroyo committed many mistakes. No president is ever perfect.
These people are just fooling us. All of them. The accusers and the accused.
