VP Noli takes a stand

Who will you choose to succeed Gloria? You have two choices:

Candidate Number 1: Kabayan Noli de Castro

Catapulted to the vice presidency due to his popularity, De Castro has been undergoing OJT with Gloria since 2004. He knows legislative works, being a former Senator. And he has experience in executive works, being the head of the HLURB and taking care of the OFWs. He recently announced his readiness to assume the presidency which is under his mandate under the Constitution.

Candidate Number 2: Ousted president Joseph "Erap" Estrada

Estrada was ousted in 2001 after a successful people power revolt. He was charged with corruption but was released after six years of incarceration. He's now touring the provinces to "thank" his numerous fans for their loyal support through the years. Initially, he told the press that he's not running. Now, he's positioning himself as the rightful heir to the palace throne in the event that the people oust Gloria.

I am calling on the people behind these two idiots--stop posturing your principals in this fight. You are allowing yourself, wittingly or unwittingly, to be used by Gloria's de-escalation experts in muddling the issue. Do not, I say again, allow yourselves to be used by Gloria to offend people's sensibilities by portraying yourselves as rightful successors.

The issue here is the search for Truth. The people behind these campaigns are not supportive of Erap or Noli. No. The people want genuine change. And the only way for this to be achieved is for the people to install a corporation. Yes, a public corporation known as a Council for National Unity (CNU).

VP Noli has taken a stand

After calls for him to be "presidential", VP Noli de Castro announced that Gloria should scrap E0 464 to help democratic institutions like the Senate to investigate the ZTE deal with free rein. The question that I would like to ask my colleague Noli is this--until when do you intend Gloria to keep EO 464? Until 2009?

The CBCP and Noli should put forward a deadline for Gloria--until this week, I suggest. They must tell Gloria that it is only up to this week that she and her legal team must decide whether to scrap EO 464 or not. After that, they must join the budding movement for change. Why?

Because not scrapping EO 464 would tell everybody that Gloria intends to be the dictator of this country and would do everything possible to keep herself and her family in power.
