Here we go again
|
|
THE civil-society groups that are demanding President Arroyo’s
resignation are waging a lost cause. Unhappy colonels who wish to
unseat her through a coup are welcome to try. Opposition lawmakers
wishing to impeach the chief executive must wait for another year.
But the citizens who respect the Constitution and are looking
forward to the 2010 elections to articulate their unhappiness or
satisfaction deserve attention.
Experience has shown the world that this
President is a woman of strong spirit and will. She will not
resign; she will serve her term. There is no mistaking she has more
balls than her predecessor who caved in quickly to opposition
demands and to disloyal generals. She believes in her mandate
and is protective of her legacy.

How to wear a condom
|
|
Pope Benedict XVI stated that abstinence is the only preventive way
to combat HIV/AIDS and other related problems. I agree with him.
There is indeed no better alternative; but in reality, not everybody
