The Bane of the Anti-Arroyo Movement

Last week, Will of the blog Writerâ€™s Block
asked me if the people in Cebu are 100% pro-GMA. I answered no, adding
that many believe the president is guilty of corruption. Likewise, many
actually find Lozadaâ€™s claim of irregularities in the NBN deal
credible. As to why not many are joining protests, I reasoned out that
people donâ€™t see any viable alternative, not De Castro or anyone from
the trapo opposition. Likewise, talk of radical transitions donâ€™t hold much traction.

I then concluded with a lame statement on the conservatism of my
province to account for this trend. I was supposed to write a rejoinder
correcting this last sweeping statement but my failing health and our
collegeâ€™s final examinations period has caught up with me. I am thus
reposting Sir Bong Wenceslaoâ€™s Sun.Star column here. I echo many of his
views:

IT seems like the fashion of leaders in the recent wave
of protest actions against the Arroyo administration is to bash those
who refuse to join them in the streets. I say that there is both
arrogance and a failure to understand the sentiment of the many to this
act. This is the reason why despite the onslaught the Arroyo government
has survived.
