Can you assure that all Filipinos are guaranteed health care? Can you assure the children of OFWs that their parents do not have to leave the Philippines and seek work abroad as work is plentiful? Can you assure every child that they will get the proper education, that they have enough teachers, classrooms and books? The Arroyos are guilty of political dynasty too. The mother is the sitting president, the son is a congressman, the brother-in-law is also a congressman, is this not considered a political dynasty? Ramos is the best president yet, because he knew how to conceal the millions he earned with the IPPs, the PEA-AMARI and the Expo Pilipino. He was never caught as he covered his tracks well and allowed others to take the fall for him. Data can easily be manipulated, all the administration has to do is redefine what poverty, unemployment, health care and education mean. Anna,

Our economy is the at our best right now, so why would we want to change the administration? All this talk is only in Metro Manila but here in the provinces. we want the Senate abolished. They do nothing but make all noise. no one listens to the opposition. The silent majority is for Gloria/. The Noisy Minority live in Metro Manila. It was President Ramos who suggested to change the Constitution and he is our best president. And look at this noisy minority. During Marcos' time, they complained about political dynasty. Guess who's practicing political dynasty now? They are the ones with the political dynasty now. I don't want them and their decendants to fool us!!! We are not against President Arroyo.

It is considered as the equalizer, the only way for the people to let their sentiments be known. To cancel it is a personal transgression. Ellen is right, the mockery of the constitution might just be the tipping point. Elections are considered personal in the Philippines.
