Desperate measures


It is not hard to decipher what the little lady in Malacanang is up to in the twilight of her ignoble reign.

The computerized elections in danger of turmoil.

The midnight appointments.

Her seeking a Congressional post.

These are desperate acts to save herself from immediate retribution for all the anomalies that spawned during her term. How else could the rush and brash in decision-making involving these matters of national interest be explained?

She used to be the hope of this nation before the Presidency. But nine years of almost absolute power have poisoned her mind and soul – trampling even the Constitution that put her up there in the first place.

She could have saved face by bowing out with a bit of honor. But no, at the very last minute, she still stood firm for her meaningless acts that only divide this already fragile nation.

She says she’d rather be right than popular. Her son says history will judge her mother fairly.   

Well, she was never even right all these years. And yes, she will be fairly judged, not by history, but the court of law if she finally runs out of cover.
