SINCE the time of [President Ferdinand] Marcos, I have never wavered in my hope to see a better Philippines. And I always supported GMA [Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo] in my heart and in any way I could although I doubted most of her decisions.

Her pardon for Joseph Estrada was the last straw. I no longer see a peaceful path to a better Philippines. God help us all!--NES BARICANTE, via e-mail
