Speaker Nograles will endorse impeachment; cha-cha train pushes thru

There are reports that Speaker Prospero Nograles will endorse the impeachment complaint against his benefactor Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. After publicly saying that it's doomed, Nograles probably realized that it would not do him any good if he uses his power to block the complaint. I think what the Lakas-Kampi gang wants to do is let it go thru the process. It'll not get any votes anyway.

What I'm concerned about now is the charter change campaign. Many Congressmen have been reportedly talking with the administration on this. In fact, there was allegedly a meeting between Gloria and some Congressmen on the night of Saturday in Makati City, precisely discussing charter change. Apparently, talks abound that Gloria and her allies want to pass the charter change proposal on second reading.

Well, I don't know about you, but this is as sneaky as they can get. They would probably sacrifice Bolante and have him roasted at the Senate. They would probably allow the impeachment to pass the committee level. But, they'll never, ever, give up on this stupid cha-cha gravy train.

Gloria has been forewarned already both by her allies and foes that going the cha-cha route would plunge this country into total chaos, anarchy and civil war. Being a risk taker, Gloria is willing to risk it all and probably test the mettle of this "chaos theory". She'll marshall her forces and give cha-cha opponents a run for their monies.

Gloria has a surprise for all of us. Will it really surprise us? Let's see.
