In previous instances, this realm has been the source of both victory and defeat. Victory since most regime changes in the Philippines start at the underground, while defeat since it is from this very realm where deals are forged and betrayals are made. Those who demonstrate in the streets are just "bit players", soldiers in the veritable battlefield for the conquest of hearts and minds. While those who really benefit from every regime change sit comfortably in their chairs, ready to ride their Pajeros and Land Cruisers to any place where victory is.
This has got to stop.
The next government should represent all forces who rallied for change. A Council of State composed of leaders of various groups unified for the pursuit of real, meaningful change, should be the replacement of this evil and decrepit regime. This should not be compromised.
A Council of State is the only alternative. In the interim, the Council should govern this country to prepare it for 2010. 2010 should be seen as the start of a new beginning for the Philippines. The years previous to this date should be considered as a period of rectification.
However, movers for change should realize that the "ber" months are coming. The survival of this regime depends on how it would deftly maneuver from a defensive to an offensive stance. It is beginning to again extricate itself from this present political predicament. If it manages to survive August, the possibility of victory gets dim and it would go dimmer still should forces fail to seize the emotionally-charged situation present in the issue of charter change.
