Vast majority are with Gloria
Mr. Marlen Ronquillo’s article (“Gloria in
Excelsis” May 18, 2008) fails to account for the majority of the
Filipinos’ being unmoved by the obvious posturing and conspiracy
of all the anti-Arroyo factions against her administration. We all
know that Arroyo will never be given credit by the opposition for
the country’s economic vitality, billion-dollar investments, the
nautical highway, tourism growth, millions of new jobs gained,
etcetera.
But the majority of Filipinos, in cities and
provinces, rich and poor, OFWs, market vendors and call-center
employees, feel the gains of Arroyo’s administrations hard work.
They disdain the political opposition’s never-ending attempts to
bring down the country’s gains.
In this country that loves chismis, we certainly
were entertained by the ZTE zarzuela in the Senate produced,
directed and brought to you by Lacson, Estrada, ABSCBN, et al. But
we are too discerning to be swayed by these rabid oppositionists.
Hakot crowds will take the money and food to attend their rallies.
Their financial reach will draw the usual politicians and BGO
activists to harrass Arroyo.
But in the end, the vast silent majority voted
with it’s silence and nonparticipation. This is the true story.
