On the impeachment complaint
We have a ridiculously corrupt government. And another impeachment complaint has been filed.
Do I want Ms. Arroyo impeached? Ofcourse, I do. But do I want it done now? at this point in time? Honestly, no.
I'm no expert in politics but with the current global finanial crisis, I don't think impeachment is a very good step. If ever it does push through, it's still going to take time. And reelection is just around the corner anyway. I just don't see the point in doing it now and having the whole country think about how politically corrupt Ms Arroyo's administration is (something we've been tackling since the dawn of human history hahah) while the whole global community is doing their best to find solutions to the current crisis. We're probably just about an arm-length away from economic recession and we instead want to talk about the same political problems we've been dealing with for the past several years (or probably longer). I believe there's a right time for everything this is simply not the time for impeachment. That does not mean we should merely sitback and focus on economic reforms and forget about all of Ms. Arroyo's past offenses. No, that's a bunch of balooney. I want the government to focus on how we can weather the current financial crisis and avoid the looming economic recession threatening the global community and I want the Filipino people to be more vigilant on how the administration is going about their businesses. Granted, the adinistration will never change their corrupt ways, but we can atleast scrutinize everything they do and every deal they make so that we can avoid further damage to our political situation.
Just a thought : given the looming crisis, can we handle both political and economic instability at the same time? Wouldn't that be suicide?
