impeachment (again?!?!)

i read in the frontpage of one of our local broadsheets that yes, there is another impeachment complaint filed. theres nothing new to this. we elect someone we will eventually kick out. thats part of modern philippine politics (sad thing, really). pero natawa ako sa list ng ilan sa mga charges against PGMA:

* cheating in the May 2006 elections
* using illegal money in presidential campaign
* condoning political killings and human rights abuses

im not pro-admin or pro-opposition, pero anak ng parents naman eh..

SINO BANG HINDI NANDADAYA SA ELECTION?!?

SA TINGIN NYO BA SAPAT NA ANG ALLOWED ELECTION FUNDS
PARA MALAGAYAN AT MAUTO ANG BAWAT PILIPINO?!?

NGAYON LANG BA NARINIG ANG ABUSO AT PAGPAPAPATAY ALANG-ALANG SA POLITIKAL NA AMBISYON?!?

hay naku! nakaka-highblood ito..

kung yan ang gagamitin nyong accusation, eh di guilty na halos lahat ng pulitiko... politics will not be politics without corruption. political killings have been happening since bago pa dumating ang mga banyaga at naka-bahag pa mga ninuno natin..

whats new?

dapat manhid na ako eh..kasi lagi na lang ito nagnyayari diba..

pero parang im at this point na ganito na lang ba tayo lagi? when will we ever tire of repeateing our blunders?!?

nakakinis..kakain na lang muna ako...

hmm... first to comment... alright... short and sweet... history will always repeat itself... No matter what changes we make or for this case laws we implement or safety measures we put into place... I betcha a gazillion billion mickey mouse money that its bound to happen again. Funny thing is that we all know this is true and everyone most especially us filipinos never learn to accept it. Best thing to do in our society is that if we have to choose then choose the lesser evil. Someone who is corrupt but knows how to run the country is always better than someone who is both corrupt and stupid! Just my two cents...

first, history will only repeat itself when people refuse to learn from it. there are proper laws preventing corruption but we lack the willpower to implement these laws. i agree that we have to pick the lesser evil. no point in looking for a incorruptible politician.. but i just cant help but sigh and shake my head after reading these things.. i dont mind having corrupt leaders. but sana they'd do their jobs naman. corruption is supposed to fuel efficiency. i guess they all got to complacent. sad, but true, equity will never be a possibility in out state (most developing/underdeveloped states too).
