right, keep their hopes up...

i didn't seem to have answered my own question with my own reflection last night. i thought that perhaps i wasn't even close to answering it. i was getting there, but didn't come close.

to go direct to the point though, i think it's better that we stick to gloria. besides the fact that luck's on her side for being able to still hold on to the position, i think that the reason why she's still there is because there's no one else deserving to govern. and when i say deserving, i mean someone who's both competent and tough enough to take the job. sure gma has her own story of the neverending buzz for corruption. can we ever avoid that? (right, some might say had fpj won, we would've had a corruption-free government. and what about a double figure decline in investments, economic development and any other aspect a head of the state is responsible for? think about that.) send gma out of the palace and who do you get for replacement? definitely not noli, for he's leaving together with her. who are your remaining options? if they say that the solution to that is through calling snap elections, then expect another lady to be there. well at least i'm assuming that the hopeful public would vote for someone they think has the heart for their eternal salvation, ehem, did i just hear susan roses? oh please. that's the biggest joke! people pack up and migrate!!!

well, i still have some hopes left for lacson. i don't know how he would handle things but perhaps, he's the next best thing. just not anyone from the opposition. i bet all they can do is keep people's hopes up by endlessly reciting fpj's vision for the country, which still is still afloat despite the absence of its source (thanks to his widow). that way, they can fool them into believing that the latter will start to lead better lives from that time that the new administration they 'have been waiting for' sits and takes over the palace.

*sigh*

politics, politics.
