It's Time to Go!

The GMA administration is caught lying through its teeth again, and it's the biggest lie ever! Proclamation 1017 is not about preventing or suppressing "lawless violence, invasion or rebellion." A day before declaring a "national state of emergency," the Palace was in fact dismissing the "coup plotters" as a handful of disgruntled military elements.

Proclamation 1017 is certainly not about a "clear and present danger to the safety and the integrity of the Philippine state and of the Filipino people." The greater threat to Philippine society, especially the integrity of our democratic institutions, is a presidency saddled and debilitated by electoral cheating and corruption. If the administration thinks it can cling to power through brute force, then it has failed to realize that the public outcry sparked by the tapes that reveal a morally challenged leadership is not just a flash of mass anger, but the implacable outrage of a people whose moral core has been violated without shame or genuine remorse.

In reality, Proclamation 1017 is about saving GMA. It is about survival politics, about suppressing the truth that hounds the presidency. By invoking emergency powers, GMA hopes to silence opposition to her hollow claim to leadership.

In the face of the worsening political crisis, we enjoin all overseas Filipinos to become part of the solution. As the nation's economic saviors, our remittances (more than 10 billion dollars a year) speak volumes of our great role and responsibility. With huge stakes--the well-being of our families and the fate of our country--we call on everyone to support the following initiatives:

1. Non-bank remittance – Send funds to your families in the Philippines outside the government’s radar screen; that is, send only through friends or door-to-door services. This will lower the official remittance figures, which the government likes to conveniently cite as a main source of economic strength.

2. Postpone visits to the Philippines until GMA resigns.

3. Discourage others from visiting the Philippines until GMA leaves office.

4. Appeal to the sense of morality of potential investors to hold off investing until a new political mandate is given to a successor. This should include large equity investors, such as pension funds. (The poor don’t buy stocks anyway.)

5. Expose to the world the scandal that GMA has brought upon herself and now on the Filipino people. Point out that most Filipinos are honest, but the government has long been dominated by the corrupt and incompetents, and the current leadership has lost the required moral and political ascendancy to lead.

6. Encourage friends and family in the military to finally take a stand in favor of change--not to take over and rule but to withdraw support for an undeserving government.

7. Use the power of symbols. Publicly use and promote GMA Resign articles (stickers, armbands, T-shirts, ribbons, etc.). Fly the flag at half-mast.

8. Use technology to push for change. Circulate this call. Help disseminate information (through e-groups and your personal distribution lists) about Gloriagate and the urgent need to now go beyond GMA. Voice your outrage through the media. E-mail political players to show support for their efforts to help reveal the unvarnished truth. Network with web-based groups and find opportunities to help.

Honest leadership is the cornerstone of national success, without which political stability and the opportunity for progress cease to exist. Our people have suffered enough! It's now time for the GMA administration to relinquish power and give way to a constitutionally prescribed special election administered by a purged COMELEC. Only then can the country transition to a new government, free from the stigma and encumbrances of the now disgraced GMA presidency.

Because Gloria Makapal is the worst President in the Philippines. I'm very dissapointed that we have a short president. I hope she will resign soon.
