Dearly departed, we have gathered here today to mourn the passing of a Presidency.
She was a good President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo; for if she weren’t, she would not have stayed in power for nine years. She was shrewd, intelligent, tactical, strategic, brilliant. We shall have fond memories of her in the roads that we travel in, the overpasses that we walk on, the stores and grain silos that bear her initials in the verdant fields of the Philippines. We shall remember her commitment to the economy, to political stability, to peace and to progress. Yet though she may leave the Palace, we shall not forget…
The orgies of cheating, the sprees of scandals, the prostitution of our freedoms, and the whoring of our land.
