                    [Title] => Threat of ‘opportunistic destabilization’ real — GMA
                    [Summary] => President Arroyo called for calm and vigilance yesterday as the controversy over the impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. continued unresolved.


The President said she is not trying to scare the people over possible new destabilization threats against her administration, rather just trying to return the focus of the people on maintaining peace and order and striving for unity.

In a statement, the President downplayed reported new rumblings in the military supposedly opposing her moves to mediate in the impeachment row.

Mabuhay ang Bagong Bandila! You have asked me to lead a new movement and I humbly accept.

The gallant men and women of yesteryears like those who belong to the vital organizations here present do not need reminders that in the dark days of martial law you fought for freedom. You marched in the streets, you faced tear gas and water hoses and guns and bullets – but like Ninoy Aquino whose birthday we honor today, you did not relent! You fought bravely till freedom was won.

And it came to pass that just last Wednesday, the 70th birth anniversary of Benigno (Ninoy) Aquino Jr. flirtted by almost unnoticed. Media and the public virtually ignored the man who declared "the Filipino is worth dying for" before he slumped blood-streaked and lifeless on an airport tarmac 19 years ago.
