While John has his views, my views are, perhaps, slightly different, and you can find them here.
I think there are only a few things we can assume.
1. Joseph Estrada valued his freedom more than the desire of others for him to make a martyr of himself by willingly seeking out imprisonment in New Bilibid.
2. The President obviously thinks her Edsa Dos constituency will grin and bear it, complain but in the end stick it out with her, or if they finally leave her now, it doesn’t matter.
3. The long Nov. 1 & 2 holidays might dissipate political energy enough so that the resumption of hostilities with the reopening of Congress on Nov. 5 will mean momentum will have to be built up again, instead of barreling along the way it has.
Meanwhile you may be interested in the debate Dean Jorge Bocobo and I are having in the comment section of his blog, over Joker Arroyo and the Inquirer’s story on that controversial senate executive session with Romulo Neri.

Indeed my love for country is greater for any hate for any person at all and I believe that goes for a lot of Filipinos. That is why Gloria should go.
True enough Gloria knows what’s best for her, but often what she deems that’s for her is not necessarily good for the Filipinos, not good for socio-moral standards, not good for the checks and balance for democracy, and definitely NOT a good example for the current and following generations to follow.

mc_90….sorry, hindi ako bilib kay trillanes….what has he done to deserve my vote? i know you are kidding.
clipmaster….i agree w/ u that the opposition should get a younger leader from their ranks.
someone said we should do away w/ charisma.
but, leaders from all over the world who changed the course of history had charisma or “it” hence they were able to carry out their goals(alexander the great, napoleon, julius caesar, etc.). kung walang dating, walang makikinig, walang maniniwala, di ba? ikaw ba gusto mong makinig kay guingona? wala na bang iba? hehehe.
who can be the brutus so that caesar(gma)can be toppled?
anyone?
