We knew it was coming, but it came as a shock just the same.
Lira of Inquirer.net takes a first pass at the President’s decision to pardon convicted plunderer Joseph Estrada. My sentiments are summed up here, in the title line of this quick post.

lahat ng pulitoko sa pilipinas ay TRAPO.Puro sarili ang iniisip.Ang laki ng bilib nyo kay TABAKO ano nagawa nya during his time,di ba puro corruption din.When he talks kala mo SANTO sya.Ano nagawa nya mabuti for the filipinos.Puro self interest lang naman.
When we will all learn.Let see what we can do to help not what this GOVERMENT can do to us.
Magkaisa tayo para tuloy tuloy na ang pagunlad ng bansa.

Hi, Maria Blanca:
You ask if I think Erap is not elite. Sorry, Ma’am, I can’t define to you the classification of a person because I believe that everybody is superior to me in one way or another and that I respect him (quoted from some wise man). But the elitist society thinks that Erap is not as elite as they are. They highlighted his having not finish college, ridiculed his english, abhors his being just an actor rather than an MBA holder, the works. They cannot stomach their government being led by a president considered a common man and not by their equal, as if good governance is synonymous with college degree, or with the amount of brain in their head, forgetting that, by statistics and lessons of history, the most corrupt goverment officials are the learned type, therefore elites. A common man sitting there as president was considered a slight, two years was too long for them to endure it, enough is enough. So when Brutus made his move, the elitists took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. The rest was history.

Historical Facts of former president Erap Guilty of Plunder of Jueteng Funds, Tried to Create Belle Resources Stocks to combat Jueteng collection funds ended being Usurped of his presidency, jailed for six years without bail, first defence lawyer dismembered by the integrated bar for describing the true nature of the dispute. Erap has the right to charge Singson with economic sabotage, for he has derailed a legally gambling business venture whom the majority of stock holders are SSS and GSIS funds, which most of the funds has vanished in thin air. only tracts of dichaves accounts are accounted and the derelict house in New manila. President Gloria Macapagal has rightfully done when it comes to philippine justice,s the true leader of the nation who holds outright power of the Senate,Congress and the Military, she has restored the true democratic principle of the philippines.

Wala na talagang katapusan yan kung puro tayo reklamo!..May magagawa pa bang bawiin yung pardon kung pumunta ulit tayong lahat sa kalye? Wala na, marami sa atin sala sa init at sala sa lamig. Nung ma-convict si Erap ang daming naawa nung binigyan ng pardon ang dami namang nagalit. Ewan ko ba bakit ninyo iniitinda pa yang mga walang kuwentang mga taong yan! Lalo lang natin pahihirapan ang buhay natin kung Mag-aalsa na naman tayo e pare-parehong mga dating cast pa rin ng EDSA 1 & 2 o 3 ang pupunta dyan e ngayon ano ba ang nangyari? Ganun pa rin walang pagbabago. kahit saan man sa mundo pare-pareho lang yang mga politiko na yan kaya di lang sa Pilipinas ang magulo. Ganyan din ang reklamo ng ibang lahi sa gobyerno nila walang pinagka-iba sa atin. Hangga’t ang dating main cast ng EDSA 1,2 or 3 e nasa gobyerno pa rin paulit-ulit lang yan! Bulok na sistema pa rin at mga diskarte ang iiral!
