Impeachment Part II

[omad]

---

that's the best they can do now... but i guess if the opp congressman move to revise the rules in the 13th congress, it will still be trash... considering the numbers.but if I see SOME EFFORT exerted, then it's fine by me even if it will be trashed. then I'd know that they are doing what's good for the nation.

there was more effort in preparation for this 2nd impeachment compared the the last one. I don't know what's the rules regarding revision of impeachment rules (kapoy sab ko og research). They block the technicality being used last time regarding the date that an impeachment should be filed. But again the main proponents of the impeachment are the younger ones... it's no easy job going against a battle when you are outnumbered.

Divided opposition loses impeachment vote

Twelve lawmakers who voted in 2005 to impeach President Arroyo deserted their minority colleagues this year.

The opposition bloc in the House of Representatives, led by Minority Leader Francis Escudero, failed for the second year in a row to push for the ouster of Mrs. Arroyo by way of impeachment because the ranks of the House minority are divided.

"It’s a given, the minority is very divided," House Majority Leader Prospero Nograles of Davao City said. "It’s all media hype. It’s been all theatrics with all those boxes (of evidence)."

"It’s a foreclosure of a disastrous political extravaganza in the Senate," he added, implying that sending the impeachment case to the Senate for trial would, in all likelihood, result in political disaster, since the chamber is dominated by Mrs. Arroyo’s arch critics.

wala ba jud kaha bai? or na feel lng nimo nga negative ila gidala kay of kors sila ang opposition sila ang magdala sa bad news nga binuhatan sa administration. If an opposition is caught doing corrupt practices and was reported by the administration what do you call that? but when an administration is caught doing corrupt practices and is reported by the opposition they call it destabilization. Not all administration/opposition is bad, i hope dili nato ilumpong.

being named the "opposition" mu kontra gyud diba? pero what im saying is if kung mu kontra lang gani, how about doing something positive first? himo ba ug law, projects for the economy anythin positive ba. Dili lang pirmi naa news nag reklamo nga si GMA lagi dili ang tinood nga president. Kay ang nahitabo naman gud karon kay number 1 priority nila is to topple the Arroyo Administration then ang next kay ambot unsa...

Take for example this one? Do we really have to say this? Ordering people for civil disobedience? considering our economic situation and all why do they have to keep doing negative actions?

Guingona calls for civil disobedience

FORMER vice president Teofisto Guingona has rejected anew President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s reconciliation offer and instead called for civil disobedience, a day after Arroyo’s allies in the House of Representatives killed the impeachment case against the President.

Speaking before a weekly Bishops-People’s forum in Quezon City on Friday, Guingona rejected the President’s call with a “resounding no,” saying he cannot accept reconciliation “without justice, transparency, and accountability.”

“Our answer to calls for reconciliation is a resounding no because reconciliation with no justice, with no transparency, with no accountability is no reconciliation at all,” Guingona said.

He prodded the people to “do nothing” or join a civil disobedience campaign, which he said they had employed during the time of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.

“That is what we should do,” he said, adding, “We will have civil disobedience in this land because civil disobedience is the only recourse left.”

“Kahit patay na ang impeachment, buhayin at ipaglaban pa rin natin ang katotohanan [Even if the impeachment is dead, let us keep the truth alive and fight for it],” he said.

Guingona joined a caravan by pro-impeachment groups that paraded seven boxes purportedly containing evidence against the President from the House at the Batasan Hills to the University of the Philippines in Quezon City where they would be stored for safekeeping.

Guingona said the “seven boxes of sins” symbolized the injustices and suppression which must be resisted by the people.

Father Joe Dizon, an Arroyo critic, had also called for civil disobedience even before the House justice committee that presided over the impeachment complaint dismissed the case for lack of substance.

On Thursday, after almost 17 hours of deliberation, the House ratified the committee’s recommendation, with a vote of 173-32.

Novaliches Bishop Antonio Tobias said he was close to supporting Guingona’s call.

“Malapit na. Konti pang mali ni Gloria [Almost. A few more mistakes by Gloria],” Tobias told reporters.
