Taken from the PDI: Gonzales Reprimanded on “Transitional Leaders”
(Reading it was like listening to the jokers to tickle your funny bone but literally failed to.)
N.Gonzales: The country needs a three-year Transition President in 2010!
Claudio: N. Gonzales should not have made his opinion public…possibility of the opposition using it against the administration.
N.Gonzales: We need Charter Change but we will never get to doing it until we have a transition president who is willing to carry it out under a new political system.
Bello III: N. Gonzales suggestion of shortened term for the next President is legally infirm.
N. Gonzales: My proposal is not a legal framework and was not about change of leadership but about change of mind-set and attitude regarding the presidential election in 2010.
Claudio: The problem is that the suggestion and this concept of a transition gives rise to speculations that are very much unfair to the President.
(So, it’s all about the PGMA. Reprimanding a co-jester for making the queen frown?)
Claudio: N.Gonzales ideas is not a “trial baloon” from President Arroyo. It was not part of the Palace’s agenda and was certainly not the direction that the administration coalition would take in 2010.
(But this is the best line of this sick joke by the jokers in Malacanang. A comment from an administration Senator.)
Senator Zubiri: If they love President Arroyo and are pro-administration, they should not drag her into these Charter Change efforts and make the people mad at her.
Its April’s Fool indeed and the Palace sent out its best clowns. But as usual, failing to win even a faint smile from the people. I wonder where is Banana Man’s katukayo? Would have been more fun if he added his antics. LOL
