GMA's winning streak, how long can she hold the line?
In the lips of any Tom, Dick and Harry who opposes to anything GMA does, at least three famous last lines keep hounding them no end. Nobody runs forever is one. Two is, sometimes the runner stumbles, and third is a play of the famous Latin swan song Sic transit Gloria Pilipinas. Or roughly translated, there goes Gloria of the Philippines.
To say that among GMA haters, this is not the mantra, is a lot of dung. The survey figures say so. With her popularity rating at its all-time low, this is as if telling people that she is the most hated person in the country Some sectors are even calling for her to step down because she is not only part of the problem, she is also part of the solution. This means, one of the only way to save us from the quagmire of uncertainties is for Gloria to get lost in the country's political firmament. That is the solution.
But to the scorn and consternation of those who hated her most, her staying power is simply amazing. While other world leaders find it easy to grab power, staying in power longer than expected is a different ballgame altogether.
But not Gloria. Not only is she riding in the strong shoulders of ass licking supporters, there seems to be no end on sight in his winning streak. How long will she hold on is another matter where at this point nobody can really tell.
Thus, the question, does she has her own share of bad luck? Definitely, yes. If everything in this world is driven by the will of God, who is she to be exempted from the wrath of the people or God. Even if she were compared sometimes to Jesus Christ, she is just as human being as anybody like you and me and therefore just as vulnerable to the vagaries of the law of diminishing returns.
Ergo, take your time. Just be patient and the call for calm and sobriety is in order.
For all you know, her winning ways are still working to her advantage.
Unless a major upheaval is forthcoming, Gloria is still here to stay. But remember nobody runs forever.
In the meantime, relax and count your blessings.
Only several days ago, she pulled off another coup. When her minions in the House of Representatives threw out without any sense of compulsion or guilt the so-called impeachment complaint, except for the minority block, nobody raised a howl of protest in massive proportion.
What does it mean? Does it mean that the people has thrown in the towel because protesting of what it appeared to be another cover up to Gloria's sins of omissions was another futile exercise?
In nearby Thailand demonstrators were taking over airports to dramatize their demand for their prime minister to get lost from that country's parliamentary government.
As for Gloria's favorite apologists, they are all over town to downplay the impact of Thailand's political turmoil. That it is closer to home is enough reason to worry. Our beloved President must be cringing in fear that if the Thailand nightmare will come to haunt her, by all means, she should stay awake all night long just to prevent her from experiencing the fear that she has been anticipating all throughout her embattled presidency. Can she hold on one more time given the Thailand experience? Your guess is as good as this Bglante's.
