Gloria still holding on

LINK

Everyone is holding their breath today.

Gloria gives the state of the nation address, and if she does it well, she'll stay in, if not, she's out.

She's still imitating Clinton: I'm the best one for the job and therefore I owe it to the country not to resign...

Since the VP has no fancy degrees, she is hoping that will stop impeachment, although they are trying to impeach him too.

Ramos backs Gloria, but is suggesting that if they want to change presidents every two years, they should have a charter change (i.e. change the constitution again). In typical Filippino fashion, the wags call this "CHA CHA"...

The other thing people are waiting for is to see how big the demonstration today in Manila will be.

For what it's worth, the "bean count" at the local grocery store is three to one against her...but then we tend to be against Manila elites.
