troubled, maybe if you did the research, you might actually get the truth, rather than the rubbish you've been told. Heres a good starting place:

Fact is, the Philippines is corrupt from top to bottom, and Gloria can't ever hope to fix that by herself, it requires a greater effort by everyone.

Given the choice, I'd trust Gloria anyday over the muppets Marcos, Ramos or Erap. Remember 2 of those aforementioned Presidents were removed by Peoples Power.

What annoys me is that Arroyo will get all this flak, and calls for her resignation, but no one can find a suitable alternative.
