*events not just in manila but in the entire philippines and among
pinoys overseas augur turning worse to worst before getting any
better. in fact it is headed towards a civil war.

actually, i had warned readers of an earlier civil war but nobody
wanted to believe in 2004 that gloria stole the farmers fertilizer
fund in order to steal the 2004 presidential elections. she almost
conked out in 2005 and how easy it is for the filipino to forget that
we are playing with fire whenever we suppress the truth.

(by the way, contrary to the ibon report that that scam was P728
million, truth to tell it was P3 billion. in fact before the P728 came
out, the first fertilizer scam was already exposed involving P432
spirited out of the National Food Authority bearing Administrator
Arthur Yap's signature; the case was filed by Marlene Esperat et al on
July 2004. Yes this is the same Yap who delivered the goodies but has
been promoted to agriculture secretary despite the prima facie
evidence against him in that case. Yap is never an agriculturist, he
is lawyer and a damn good Labrador for the First Gentleman and his
former instructor at the Ateneo pre law - Professor Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo. Yap is married to the erstwhile Uniwide Superstores that
preceded Pure Gold in the smuggling of Chinese chicken into the
country. That Esperat case is still live in the Ombudsman. But since
Simeon Marcelo resigned and Merceditas Gutierrez, another FG protege,
took over, no progress has been reported. For the meantime, Esperat
has been the victim of extra-judicial killing, with agriculture
finance officials, who used to report to JocJoc Bolante who directly
reported to the presidential bedroom, now being tagged as masterminds.
The Cebu court has already issued the corresponding warrants of
arrest.)

of course, to prevent a civil war was also in the mind of ninoy aquino
when he came home from exile, only to be butchered by presidential
wannabes who conspired with the generals. that civil war was snuffed
by Edsa One.

the first thought of civil war came to me when fidel ramos was
clueless about the massive brownouts that met him after he swore to
office in 1992. i remember mon pedrosa and i telling cory and eddie
then that we were all sitting on top of social volcano that was due to
erupt. well it simmered a bit when steady eddie momentarily solved the
problem, but the currency crisis of 1996 and then the erap's
incompetence and corruption took center stage and again there was talk
of civil war resurrected but Edsa Dos snuffed it one more time.

but instead of taking the country to posterity as promised by her
doctorate credentials and private-school education under the nuns and
the jesuits, gloria brought us all to a lower hell with social
indignation that is fast escalating into a civil war. there is no
repentance here, not even admission of guilt. there is only cover-up
and stonewalling.

why? because gloria has already assessed her options and that is hell
or high water, she will remained glued to power, thus the monicker
"ate glue" by some pundits. the only way she will leave malacanang is
horizontally. she has no choice. she has already prostituted herself
and the presidency, earning the notoriety of being the most corrupt
president the republic has ever had. she will not leave before 2010 or
even after because she cannot do an Erap before the Sandiganbayan, she
does not want the embarrassment of being the first graduandus from
Assumption Convent to be accused of plunder. her pride is so high, she
will not listen to any reason or unreason to leave power.

gloria's sin of covetousness or greed can no longer be mitigated. it
is now public knowledge that she has violated the seventh and tenth
comandment of God. ask anyone in the streets. linda olaguer-montayre
says in her book "A Nation Unborn" that she also sinned against the
sixth and ninth comandment. by her lips she admitted having "plenty"
of sex. and it looks like the nuns have bought linda's story because
the madres have become the strongest supporters of rodolfo lozada.

the only way gloria will lose the support of the generals she has paid
is when the military finally understands that the very security of the
nation is already being sacrificed so that she can continue to reign.
i do not think the police is with her. kung tuta si sonny razon edi
patay na si lozada. the good general's comment affirming to abolish
EO464 says it all. i smell Edsa Tres, but there are some minor
hitches.

forget the CBCP, those guys wear skirts. they have been programmed by
Catechism not to meddle in political affairs that the book says is the
province of the laity. for heavens' sakes, you better believe it -
cardinal sin is dead! asking for his redux already borders on deus ex
machina that seems to be not forthcoming this time. the lord God is
sick and tired of warning us. he wants us to correct it ourselves this
time. he wants us to restire ourselves from corruption.

and i am neither worried about the phyrrhic show of solidarity of
Lakas and Kampi purportedly to be a collossus of sorts. my foot, that
is where LDP was when monching mitra lost. that was where Lakas-NUCD
was when Joe de Venecia lost. there are no legitimate political
parties in our system, just butterflies attracted by the nectar in the
form of money and pork. this is why i have time and again asked some
of our legislators to pass a bill penalizing turncoatism, but did they
even take any proposal to any committee? all we see in joker, dick and
johnny is endless lawyering that suits gloria's position to a T.

for her, she cannot make any mistakes. "fertilizer scam, not me - its
bolante. cheating the 2004 elections, not me - it's garci, esperon and
mendoza. ZTE-NBN, not me - its chairman abalos. spratly treason, not
me in fact it was joe de venecia. half the population going hungry,
not me - it's the oil crisis. high electric bills, not me - its the
lopezes. most corrupt, not me - its FG; i am merely a victim of
marital association. extrajudicial killings, not me - its palparan. i
believe in the rule of law, that is why i always tell secretary
gonzales to make sure the law is enforced. i have also told my
national security adviser bert gonzales to stop killing those
dissidents. i believe in telling and upholding the truth, that is why
i always tell secretaries ermita, saludo and golez to follow closely
their talking points and not deviate from the prompter. but P40 to $1,
that's me - its never the OFWs."

the endless cover-up and stonewalling by malacanang and the resounding
halleluyahs of congress is driving our country to civil war.

when what happened to nicaragua happens to the philippines, i hope the
romulos and those illustrious residents of makati and alabang's
exclusive villages will no longer wonder why they have been driven
away from their homes by peasants and workers. so instead of investing
on further perpetuating an arroyo regime, they should be the first
ones to move her out lest the horsemen of the apocalyse pass over
their palacial dwellings.

i do not want to be a balikbayan the day after, that is after the
social volcano erupts. the only thing that can avert a civil war is to
remove arroyo. not later, but sooner. and you can lump noli de castro
with her too. this way the people will have a chance to elect their
successors via the only constitutional recourse available for a snap
election. civil war no, edsa tres yo!
