By the number of resigning Eraps friends and the growing number of protester
I dont he will last that long. Incidentally ,asistio and the rest who
said that they valued their friendship so much are the true tyrants of
the country.Friendship is only personal or private but not public or for
the people . Does these people knew what they are saying or thinking.If
there will be armed struggle these are the people to be ousted with Erap.
**@cs.com (Giorgo)
The handwriting is on the wall. The "true" friends of Erap should
sit him down and tell him the facts & realities. For the good of the country
& recovery of the economy, Erap will be macho enough to resign if he has
a face- saving graceful way out! That should be granted to him as President.

I think Mr. President Estrada would last for these month as a presidnt,
he'll try every strategy to divert himself from the jueteng payola scum.
Eventhough he may look okay everytime he faces the media but i know he
is very stressed mentally. As the everyday pressure from people to the
opposition party builds up, soon hes gonna run out of option, who knows
what hes capable of doing.
**@yahoo.com (Daniel)
He should have not been voted to that

I think pilipino people should take this issue seriously .... I know that
alot of people voted for estrada only for his popularity , he also marcos

from usa... Estrada and boy assistio are the faces i saw in the airport
protecting madam butterfly imelda marcos..........i hope he gonna be out
of office sooner ....pero sabi nga niya pang famas ang acting niya recently...no
remorse iknow for sure labas na naman ang mga tuta ng mga assistio vote

I dunno what's taking so long for estrada to resign. he's calling his
cohorts for support of his administration. i think this guy is really
nuts. he thinks this is all about "kumpadres", nope!! this is
about a nation and people being rob of decency and pride. Now, its time
for the gang leader and his minions to leave cause it is very humilating
for the filipinos to have a leader in the likes of estrada. he still thinks
he is in the movies and any wrongdoing can be corrected by a mere denial.
Damn you estrada! the future of our country is at stake, you had your
chance and you blew it, Dickhead!!!!

The issue at hand for the Philippino people is how to build a political
system to prevent the same abusement of power to take place over and over
again.
Erap should step down asap to let the people still have a slight chance
to recover from extreme poverty before the Country's economy totally collapsed.
It is an international tragedy to see a Country relying its major foreign
exchange to come from hard labors of her daughters working as servants
abroad.
**@qatar.net.qa (Edgardo)
Did those illustrious senators and congressmen have to leave the LAMP
before they can announce their support for the impeachment process? Will
being in the ruling party prevent them from voting against the President?
I bet their 'official' reason for bolting Erap's party is their concern
for the country. Not one of them will claim to be more concerned about
his/her political carreer. But we know otherwise. Or do we?
**@ (J.)
Most people occupying the top seats of the Philippine Government are layers
and professionals, but they are ignoring the legal process about the case
of the President. Everything should be done in Constitutional way. They
should set a good example to the people who honors the Philippine Constitution.
Of what they did against the President will deeply buried the economy.
I admire and a big salute to Mr. Alfredo Lim about his opinion for the
case of the President, he knows best the legal process of it. Mr. Lim
sounds like having no politics on him but willing to serve the country
with honor and belief on Constitional way.
Thank you & more power.

Mr. Estrada has become a liability to the country that entrusted him its
way of life. He betrayed that trust by his incompetency and greed. I wish
he would stop using the poor as his reason to stay in power because we
all know that's no longer the case. He needs to go ahead and step down
and save the country from a grueling process; as if, the country is not
already suffering enough economically and morally. We all know he's not
too bright, and that, he should have never been the president in the first
place; however, I just don't know what part of the "chaos" that's
happening because of him that he doesn't understand? Please help me out
here!
**@aol.com (Apolinar )
Erap's reign will probably be shortlived in terms of presidential tenure.
The issue is how wise is the electorate in excercising their right of
suffrage. Let us consider the setbacks that the country suffered and expand
our outlook beyond the local, national, regional and global communities.
We are continously falling behind as a nation. Let us be future Filipinos,
with the same genes but the DNA of graft and corruption.
**@aol.com (chell)
To whom it may concern,
I am aware of what is going on there in the Philippines. I just want to
give you some feedback about this matter. First of all, no one can impeach
the president because almost 90% or more voted him to be a president of
our country.But worst comes to worst because of the highest exchange rate..
you are blaming Mr. Estrada for that problem as well as the gamblings
issues. For me ... it's not his fault. He did a lot of things in our country
but how dare to all those peolpe who wants him to resign on his position
esp. those in the position right. Please think you do that to him. What
you are doing is ... you are trying to embarrass & annoy his personality.
This is just my opinion about this matter.
**@cebu.pworld.net.ph (Frank)
Someone whom Erap believes should tell him to resign now. By himself he
is too rattled and confused to grasp the real situation. Looking at his
past record, he never had it in him to come up with something positive.
**@yahoo.com (roberto)
The President should do the Pilipino people a favor, to step down as soon
as possible to put a stop to the misseries he has caused once and for
all and give everyone the chance to recover. He should be man enough to
realize by then that in reality he never was "para sa mahirap"
but instead it should have been worded " para hindi ako maghihirap"

The resignation of Drillon and Villar
makes it easy for the Congress and the

a strong sign that Estrada's days in

**@hotmail.com (Ronald)
My opinion regarding Erap's situation is he should resign as soon as possible
to enable the country to move forward, economically. I just hope that
the 'Tiger Economy' that we had under Mr. Ramos would come back as soon
as possible to change the appearance of the country, in our eyes and in
the eyes of the world. If not then I think it would be best if we just
settle to have our country be another state of other country. Since no
one obviously how to run the country right!!

I can almost congratulate myself upon hearing on the resignation of Senate

is the last straw on the proverbial's camel back that will lead to the
resignation of Erap.Frankly, I have no high regard for both of the houses,
because their credibilities leave much to be desired.Now, I believe there
are still politicians in this country that could rise above partisan politics.I
say to them,may your tribe increase and may God bless you.
**@usa.net (Jonathan )
this mess started in that fateful day in
may 1998 when all filipinos selected the
next person to lead our country to the
next mellinnium.
it was appalling to say the least that
majority of our people elected Joseph
Ejercito as the new president.
To vote is a right, and somehow, most of
us just put to waste that opportunity to
select the best leader that will somehow
alleviate the burden of many filipinos.
we are so caught up with the hype of
show business. we are so gullible to
believe that a movie personality can
lift the morale of the underpriviledged,
the peasants and farmers.
And now, we as a country has suffered
the consequence of that choice we made
back in 1998. Political Turmoil in the
very heart of Malacanang, an Economic
crisis that's choking the whole nation.
It's time for new and fresh mandate.
There's no clear-cut answer to the
problems but one thing is certain,
if Estrada remains to be president,
we'll definitely be further buried
in a deep trench and we might not
get out of in time to heal and sow
peace and justice that everybody's
crying for.
We as a people need to be vigilant once
again, a new tyrant is in control of
our country and we must not allow
the things that happened in the 70's
and 80's.
we must call for Erap's resignation and
if he has a heart, a compassion to the
filipinos who's dying and suffering,
the only moral thing, the only
righteous thing to do is step down
and cut clean.
**@stargate.net (Weng)
To impeach Estrada isn't the answer. Officials (everybody) should cooperate
and unite for the Philippine economy not pointing fingers to each other.
Let Estrada finish his term. For those who want to become a President
too, wait for your turn.
**@yahoo.com (Lolita )
I think that Pres. Estrada should resign. It is alot better than being
impeached. I can't understand how he can deny everything on what is happening
to the country. He has been telling the people that he hasn't gotten money
from the gov't. I think he is in the denial stage, that's why he can't
admit on what is the truth. Everybody has been resigning left and right
in his cabinet. Who will replace the politicians that vacated the position.
Who will support him. I think he should resign for the good of the people.
Changing the reforms will not help. Can't he see the economy is going
down the drain. Investors are not investing for fear that the president
will put it in his pocket. I call to you Mr. President, resign before
you loose your dignity. Save while you still have the time.

**@hotmail.com (Alkadia)
I think the President will last, not because he is well-liked or he is
good or because he is strong. He will hold on simply because he is a leech
and greedy. He has too much pride that he doesn't want to lose face. He
thinks that by holding on to his position, he will save face - that is
simply love of one's self (he is a very selfish man).

like Erap. Graft and corruption is still in the blood but its up for us
to let it stay there forever.Otherwise all of us will suffer for the rest

and resign now before everything is over.

**@math.ucalgary.ca (Hopeserate)
Estrada is finished, thank goodness!
He was never fit to lead the country
even at the start. Everytime he
opens his mouth I wince at what he
might say this time - sometimes I worry
that toads might come out with each word
he utters. Most often than not, what
he says indicates the shallowness
of his thoughts - he sorely lacks the
perspective and understanding of being
the president of the nation.
Now he tells us that he is hurt because
some of his friends have "deserted" him.
Doesn't that remind us of a sulking
child?
**@digitelone.com (carmel)
the last time he spoke on tv, he already looked so much like a defeated
man. i remember likening him to a balloon that was pricked because i thought
he looked less bulky than he used to. his face was thinner, too - or was
that an optical illusion? anyway,i don't think he is still able to do
much thinking at this time and is merely relying on his friends to tell
him what to do. also, the only reason why he still hasn't resigned is
that the ship hasn't fully sunk yet, and a desperate man will hang on
for life even if it is clear that there is no other option for the ship
but to continue to sink deeper.
especially after yesterday, i think he knows that he will not last much
longer. his time has run out - even if i don't like arroyo, she was right
when she said something like the proper time is now - (even yesterday)
for him to explain and prove his innocence. when he said he will explain
"at the proper time," it was obvious that he was buying time
to fabricate his alibis. when he said lately that his silence didn't do
him any good and he would now speak out, he wanted to give the impression
that he kept silent because it was the decent thing to do at the time;
however, according to how he has always projected himself, it's not second
nature to him to keep his mouth shut out of a sense of decency or delikadeza.
an INNOCENT president who does not think twice about lambasting former
presidents and other people he does not like will not be stopped from
cursing and swearing WHILE reacting to singson's allegations and proving
his innocence at the same time. in fact, he would hardly be able to wait
for the proper forum. so if only because of his personality as we know
it and have seen it, there's something about the way he is handling this
(or not handling this) issue that doesn't add up.
anyway, i can still sympathize with him for (i think) i know how he must
feel. for one in his situation, terminal cancer might even be a better
face-saving option. i hope he will just resign and not wait to be impeached
anymore. the decision is his' as to how he wants to go down in history.
**@dva.gov.au (napoleon)
What Asistion is saying about standing by for an embattled friend is right.
Through thick and thin a friend must standby to support, lie if necessary
and fight for a troubled friend. But for goodness sake Asistio, you and
your friend is in the public service where the welfare of the populace
is a priority. You have been in the government (local) service but still
you don't know why you are there. If you were really a good friend you
should have asked Erap not to enter politics at all and you too yourself
should not be in the politics.
**@aol.com (ricky)
now it's our turn to bet on Erap.........how long will he last, what date

**@cs.com (Eden)
How long will Erap last? Gosh, it's a waste of time for the impeachment
process to to take its course! With the position taken by the honorable
men and women in the 2 chambers, notwithstanding the resignations by members
of his Cabinet and key presidential advisers, what else would keep him
from stepping down? He has already lost the faith and trust of the Filipino
people; no amount of 'promised' reforms will ever bring back the trust
because now, the Filipino know better.... When he was elected President
2 years ago, I would say "Let's give him a chance" to his detractors
albeit deep in my heart, I knew that the Philippines would be in danger
of losing its mark in the better side of the 'developing countries'. I
may have been pessimistic but judging from his previous senatorial performance
and his vice presidency, he did not possess the qualities to lead the
nation. His being elected as President was a simple result of popularity
contest, when the Filipino people was fooled by his 'masa' appeal... It's
now time for the Filipino people to come to their senses to support the
call for Erap's resignation. If the Filipino people did it before during
the 1986 EDSA Revolution, why can't we do it again now?
**@ (Mariano )
What is happening now to Erap is just a normal culmination of a second
class leadership who depends mostly on his cabinet due to lack of knowledge
running a country. When he was winning the election last 1998; I can't
forget Peter Jennings comment that runs like this;In the Philippines presidential
election a former actor who is a self-confessed womanizer and a heavy
drinker is leading the race. The grin on his face struck me deep within
cause I thought he's thinking how stupid us filipinos to vote such kind
of a leader.
A traditional politicians has more
finnese than him. Jueteng money comes from the poorest of poor(no middle
class pinoy would even think of jueteng) and yet he gurgled and embezzled
all this poor money( as being alleged). Wa class!

Te President expects the mass resignation to happen to silence the street
protests. Once the Articles of Impeachment is in

Since Estrada is an ambitiuos hardheaded person ,I don't think that he
will step down ,even though he knew that it is the cause of all the terrible
things that is happening to our country ,especialy our economy which is
plumiting very fast. Come to think of it ,if you are in his place or even
if you are an ordinary citizen which hold a very important position, are
you going to hold unto it up to the very end even though you knew everybody
will fall because of your action?
The best thing the president should do is to step down and defend his
integrity as an ordinary citizen .In that way he can keep his integrity
and humanity .Because it is the only reason why greater number of people
believes he is guilty of all the accusation he is having now ,that's why
he is afraid to step down.

It is alright for Erap to fail coz he got no mind of his own, but for

fellow senators and quickly resolve the crisis that is so badly affecting
the country. A change of leadership is the only possible way to get the
country back on track. May Mr Estrada see the light too and swallow this

in collecting taxes because his friends are tax evaders and he wanted

sa gobiyerno, dapat may qualifications din sila. Unang-una ay dapat sila
kukuha ng psychological exams. At least mababawasan ang mga magnanakaw.
Dapat may qualifications din ang mga kandidato. At least college graduate;
at must pass the civil service exams or equivalent.

I'm Filipino citizen and away from the country for many years now. However,
I still admire the country and most people who work hard.
I think with all these things happening in our country, (economic crisis,
messed up political leaders, unemployment, corruption, natural disasters
etc...etc... and the list goes on), what we really need now is cooperation
amongst all of us. These people who we call "leaders" should
all sit together and discuss how they could solve our problems instead
of pointing at each others mistakes or crimes. I am sick and tired already
of the malpractices of our leaders. Filipinos are admired by other neighbouring
asian countries for having good communication skills and wayback years
and years ago, the Philippines used to lead other neighbouring asian countries
economically and in goodwill. What happened to all that? What happened
to all our leaders? Have we completely lostt our sense of intelligence?
Our genuine Filipino culture? I think what our country needs now is a
leader who still believes in moral values. Everyone is so hungry for power
- not for the purpose of leading us to the right path but leads us nowhere!
We are completely confused and lost. We don't know where to go, who we
should go with or turn to, what should we do????????
So....I think for the sake of good order in our country I call on those
so called "leaders" to please clear up your mess and don't make
us people here abroad to suffer more. We sacrificed and left our families
back home to seek job that could give our children good education and
better lives, and yet we still have to suffer here. We are being discriminated
everywhere and it breaks our hearts just because our own "leaders"
don't care about us at all.
Hoping and praying for the best!

I have an opinion or comment to make but mine or anyones comment is not
really what is important.Only God's opinion matters. In the bible it is
a mandate for us to pray for our leaders. I have done that for Estrada
and his cronies and everyone else in power in the Philippines. But one
thing I have to say when Estrada recited the Psalm of David, which is
Psm 70-71 a week or so ago, i almost feel sorry for him. Notice that I
say almost. One, when David prayed that prayer to God, he was repentant
and knew that he was powerless and that God has the sovereign power to
do according to His righteousness. Two, David's enemies were real enemies.
In Estrada's case, his God is himself and his real enemy is himself. He
has lost all sense of decency and just like Samson he does not realize
that his power had already left him. The people is not behind him anymore
but against him, he needs to cut his losses and bow down; quietly and
reverently,not to the people but to God who loves him and the people that
he is supposed to serve. You see, until a person learns to make his vertical
relationship right (God) his horizontal relationships (people) will never
be right. He has forgotten about his God, so his heart has taken him to
all the pleasures it desired. The blood of Jesus Christ has atoned for
our sins and has reconciled us back to God. It is high time for all of
us to consider our ways. The bible has given us enough examples, that
if God wants to punish a nation He gives them bad leaders. It is time
to pray the prayer on 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.

Its only the elite who wanted the President to resign! The masses are
still behind the president. .

The question is: Is Estrada's Resignation can save us?
We, Filipinos, are in the midst of discovering who we really are. It is
not the sole responsibility of the President to save a nation! Rather,
it is everyone's responsibility. Therefore, I don't believe that Estrada's
resignation can save us. But because Estrada has lost the public trust,
in this respect he should resign. But this will not mean that the problem
is solved already. The nature of people in general is the ever searching
for a universal solution to problems,like alchemist searching for what
turns base metal into gold. The Filipino people has put the fate of the
Philippine nation into the one hand of the President. In this times of
crisis, we should wake up and work hand in hand. Let us be united and
help our president and the country. We are all part of the solution and
only when we become united can we save our nation. By nature, I am not
a political person. But the recent times has caught my attention because
I cannot anymore endure the stupidity of the Filipino masses. When can
we learn to work together? Instead of helping our president, we mocked
him. Instead of supporting him, we mocked his intelligence. I can be a
qualified member of the MENSA society. This is a society of the highly
intelligent people around the world. But I never judge the president's
intelligence. It doesn't need a genius to rule a nation!!! What is needed
is cooperation of the masses and the support of the people. How can we
prosper when everyday we send text messages mocking him and even in caricatures
we mock him. The Filipino masses is an idiot. A stupid herd that knows
nothing other than humiliating his neighbors and fellow Filipino. And
even in the street, we cannot prevent the traffic. Or even in falling
one line in a ticket booth last Halloween vacation. I think....that we
should have never claimed indendependence at all!!! In these times of
crisis, our nation appears to the whole world pitiful and this has affected
every Filipino working abroad. Our image is shattered because of our lack
of discipline and lack of unity. Look at the Japanese. They have prospered
despite the destruction of the WW2 to them. Look at us, lots of pioneering
companies started here in the Philippines...but surprisingly never prospered
into a big one. Listen to our radios, those commentators doing nothing
but igniting the fire more. I once work in Taiwan. How different their
sorrounding is compared to us. All of them work. All of them are always
busy. Nobody is walking around with liquor in his hand.
The fate of the Philippines is in every hands of the Filipino. I say,
we allocate one week to clean up the streets, sweep the candy wrappers,
light up a candle, to gain national awareness. That we are one people.
One nation. We are in the midst of crisis and many people are dying. I
do not blame the president. I do not put relevance to this jueting bullshit!!
Before we judge another, let us first look at our selves. One little mistake
has no right to destroy one nation. Let us stop putting blame. Let us
work as one. It's time to be firm in our thoughts. ANd in our deeds, let
us show that we care. Let us stop being stupid. For so long, we are. ANd
when our childrens are dying, it is time to stop being stupid. No one
should judge the President of his intelligence. Even me, I have an IQ
of 144...I don't judge him. HOw much more most of you out there who could
not even learn simple mathematics or read. It doesn't need high IQ to
rule a nation. THe power of a nation is in the people in that nation working
together and producing goods esp. in Agriculture in our case. Let us be
united.
