Political Pondering

I was browsing through my old piece supporting the call for GMA's ouster due to the Garci Controversy (that was 3 years ago). I was an 'active kid'; one of those who have joined the demonstrations (yes, more than one). I was one of those who believed that it doesn't matter who's going to replace the president but what is essential is to end her regime. But that kind fight may not seem to be prudent now.

Yes, we're fighting the same old shit, same old 'evil'. But the situation is different now. Thus, the game we play should also be different.

It's not simply about getting her out of the office. It's of utmost importance to consider the consequences of whatever action we take. If the question before was "Who is the alternative", I guess now it's better to answer, “What is the best alternative action."

Quoting a friend in politics, the copy from Aliens vs. Predator, "Whoever wins, we lose" is very much applicable with the current scenario. And that's something we shouldn't allow to happen. We have to work on "something" that wouldn't allow victory of the camps representing the aliens and predator – an act that will allow for people's victory.

The two suggestions (almost similar) coming from two other friends in politics (from different "political inclinations") that I've previously posted, seem to be among the prudent suggestions I’ve encountered.

Both suggestions recognize:

1) The atrocity of the government (of GMA and her cohorts)
2) The need for legal/constitutional action
3) That it’s not good to have a Noli Presidency prior 2010
4) The need to do something about the current turmoil
