Double Talk Amidst Societal Chaos

Peace double talk

Former AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon is now Gloria's chief peace negotiator, a few days after his retirement. I don't know what came over Gloria but why did she retain Esperon? His tenure as AFP C-S is quite turbulent. Was he retained solely for his knack at creating destabilization or for his prowess in electioneering? Probably both.

Esperon's appointment speaks volumes on the true peace plan of GMA. Esperon is the least person to be given the powers to talk peace on behalf of government. Everyone knows his true nature--that of a lapdog. He's largely credited for plunging this country into total chaos because of the caper he did in Mindanao during the 2004 elections.

Power play

Amado Doronilla says nothing will come out of Malacanang's power play against the Lopezes. Over at ABS-CBN, the Lopezes are still defiant, vowing to survive this latest onslaught while sending their president to tomorrow's Cabinet meeting over at Panglao Island in Bohol. Will there be a blood compact in the name of big bucks there? Or will these two camps lunge at each other's throats 7 days from now? Knowing how haughty the Lopezes are, chances are they will not bulge against the Arroyos. Or would they?

Callousness

The Arroyo administration admitted meeting the ZTE officials over at Shenzhen. For meeting Arroyos, the gods punished the Chinese with a devastating earthquake, killing more than 20,000 people. Even abroad, Gloria is creating chaos.

Transport Groups double talked

Lastly, transport groups raised a howl after the DOTC withdrew an order from the LTFRB to raise transport fees. This is double talk, says these groups and threatened the government of another transport holiday. Well, I hope they do it this time. Otherwise, will just laugh at them.
