Political Tsunami awaits President Gloria Arroyo

With all the underhand moves the Philippine government makes… With the so-called “calibrated pre-emptive response" used to quell rallies by militant activists…

It wouldn’t be surprising that peaceful demonstrations would soon turn into a bloody revolt! Ms. Arroyo’s tactics bring back one’s memories of the Martial Law era.

Just like Marcos when he said the country is under siege from the communists, Arroyo conveniently blames terrorists for her policies against public assemblies.

I suggest she lets them demonstrators do their thing or better yet, resign. Otherwise, the tide of discontent will soon overwhelm her. Hopefully, it would not resort into an armed conflict.
