Tiny professional demonstrations against Arroyo "in the hundreds"...heck, here you could get more people out to protest the results of a cockfight...
Everyone figures GMA is just as corrupt as every other politician...but until there is an alternative, it's mostly talk....
But HERE is what everyone is really talking about:
NEVER mind the unending Senate hearings on exploited evidence and consumed witnesses; forget the Magdalo officers’ escape from their detention cells.
And what does it matter that United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan commended the Philippines for its positive contributions during the country’s membership in the UN Security Council?
Be indifferent, show no concern for them.
At the moment on top of them all is Manny Pacquiao.
***
Tomorrow morning (8 a.m., Manila time) when Manny Pacquiao emerges in the ring at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, millions of people around the world will be seeing the face of a nation seeking fame and recognition which it feels it rightfully deserves.
Pacquiao, undoubtedly, represents the country’s hopes and aspirations to free itself from the tumult of its surroundings for a moment of glory and adulations.
And everybody is praying that that moment would come at last....
