Where is the crowd?

One of two wants Gloria in the Palace out using people power.

But my Grampa Doronilla (March 22, PDI) asks:

1. If so, why are the disgruntled not rushing the streets and stampede to work for Arroyo's ouster?

2. Why is Arroyo still hanging on to power despite the findings?

3. Arroyo is being supported by local officials so where do the 'disgruntled' majority came from?

I've been wishing to refute this but time was so mean. Could time be more generous this time?

• It's very clear that the disgruntled are not rushing the streets. Why? Let us count the ways

1. CPR
2. PP 1017
3. General Order No. 5
   
4. No-permit-no-rally policy
5. charges of rebellion
6. charges of terrorism
7. incarceration without charges
8. illegal arrest
9. batuta ng pulis
10. teargas
11. water cannon
12. barbed wire
13. police brutality
14. police take-over
15. rice and noodle economy
16. low-cost medicine
17. housing project (that will soon flop)
18. propaganda of a beautiful economy
19. peso-dollar exchange
20. gagged media
21. job generation as call girl agents, este, call center agents
    
22. money
23. money
24. money
25. money
26. money
27. money and ad infinitum

So, lalabas pa ba sila para magmartsa?

• Why is Gloria in the Palace still hanging on to power? Simple lang. Makapal ang mukha.
  
• Arroyo is being supported by local officials so where is the disgruntled majority coming from? Sa masa. Elite po kasi mga local officials. And who knows, some of them might even won with the Arroyo election formula. Di ba? Tanungin natin si Garci.
• Actually, not only is Arroyo being supported by local officials. She is also finding support from media men and columnists who eyes government positions or are looking for juicy perks and fat pork from the coffers of jueteng operators,... err, Gloria in the Palace. Ang iba pa nga diyan, my dear Grampa Doronilla, are looking for positions as ambassadors so why bite the hand that feeds?
