GMA Pardons Erap
And so the Philippines made again a new chapter in its fledgling democracy as the most powerful person in the land granted an executive pardon to the deposed president who was convicted of plunder.
The recent turn around of this political bruhahaha has stunned the filipinos anew and some questioned the perfect timing of the presidential pardon.
Is this being use to divert the attention of the filipino people from the issues that the current administration is facing? The broadband deal isn't finish yet, and the glorietta bombing has been pinpointed to the administration plot, courtesy of Senator Trillanes. The political killings might not be in the papers nowadays but still its an unresolved issues concerning the PGMA presidency and so does a couple of other scandals and controversy.
Now going back to the pardon, several groups are protesting. Ex president Fidel V. Ramos isnt happy about it. A group called of NOPE ( NO Pardon for Erap) movement has voice out its sentiments over the issue, the MBC (Makati Business club) is airing its disagreement, but then what can they do? The president has already given the pardon and was already handed down through her official spokeperson, its now on the erap camp to take the pardon to make it official.
At the end of the day i could personally see a motive behind this gesture of the president. This woman president is all set to make her stay until 2010 on her seat and she's doing everything she could do to make it a reality. And perhaps this is one of her way of ensuring it. Besides, giving a pardon to the deposed president would mean that her presidency is legitimate as only the president has the power to give the pardon, and so it does happen now , erap is already technically accepting the legitimacy of the Arroyo government, much to the big grin of the palace!!! They won the battle afterall.
The senate drama, an abrupted impeachment, the eviction of Estrada from Malacanang Palace, the rise of power of the second woman president, the trial of the century of Estrada, the conviction of the ex president for plunder, and now the executive clemency , whats next to this unending political drama?
Where will the Philippines go?
