[Title] => State of nation address our guide to our future
[Summary] =>
We must admit that we had never listened to a State of the Nation Address that thoroughly captivated us than President Gloria Macapagal’s SONA last Monday. Watching her on TV gave us the feeling that she was addressing us personally right in our living room. She did not sound like a head of state delivering an address to the nation. She gave the impression that she was the head of a family who was showing the love and care that she had for all her children.

Arroyo was delivering her speech, one of the graduating students got up and demanded that she step down from office. Unperturbed, President Macapagal Arroyo continued her speech as if nothing had happened. Later, the graduating student even went up the stage to receive her diploma.

[Title] => Pres. Gloria M. Arroyo belated happy birthday
[Summary] => Yesterday, Pres. Gloria Maca-pagal-Arroyo observed her 59th birthday and the fact that Holy Week starts on Monday made us recall that she got her first name Gloria from the fact that she was born on a Sabado de Gloria. What makes us feel bad is the fact that she celebrated her birthday with some oppositionists trying to prepare the ground for a second impeach bid against her.

[Title] => We are in a temporary state of emergency
[Summary] => The Reader’s Digest Complete Word Finder defines state of emergency as a condition of danger or disaster affecting a country, especially with normal constitutional procedures suspended. The important thing, therefore, to understanding our present predicament, is to know just what is the danger affecting our country and just what constitutional procedures are being suspended in order that the present administration will be able to effectively cope with those threats.

[Title] => Makati crime rate down by 27 percent
[Summary] => We were very glad and not at all surprised to learn that the crime rate in Makati has gone down by 27 percent. We have been residing in Makati for the past three decades and we must say that Makati has been fortunate in that it has had good officials to run the city. Our only reservation is that sometimes there are moves to make Makati the site of rallies and demonstrations that do not concern the city directly. And these rallies are usually held in the main commercial avenue of the city.

[Title] => Creeping impeachment to creeping martial law
[Summary] => The country is now full of creeps. First, we were being warned of a creeping impeachment. Now, we are being warned of a creeping martial law. The good thing is that peace and order continues to reign and all issues are decided according to law. As two former Justice Secretaries pointed out, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo cannot unilaterally declare martial law. It has to be approved by Congress.

[Title] => Many shows of protest are totally meaningless
[Summary] => After President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo survived an impeachment attempt, thousands of people took to the streets demanding that Gloria resign. The impeachment process clearly proved that there is no constitutional basis for the President to resign. Taking the issue to the streets is plain anarchy, meaning the complete absence of government. That is the ultimate disaster that can happen in our times. It will be worst than the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Katrina destroyed only a city. Anarchy will affect our whole nation.

[Title] => Hundreds of protesters march to House
[Summary] => Hundreds of protesters marched to the House of Representatives in Quezon City yesterday, denouncing an alleged plan by President Arroyo’s allies in the House of Representatives to dismiss impeachment charges against her.
The House committee on justice, dominated by pro-Arroyo lawmakers, may cast a crucial vote this week whether to accept or trash the opposition’s main charges against Mrs. Arroyo, including her alleged rigging of last year’s election, corruption and bribery, according to both camps.
