unseating a philippine president

can the most powerful person of a country be asked to resign by mob rule...well it has happened twice before. not by a coup d 'etat but by prayers and civil disobedience, by the shifting of political and military alliances and support. a president cannot govern without its military and the business community.

so how come it has not happened yet....is it because no one really controls the military? the church is saying one thing, the business community has retracked on what they said and is now following the church, the labour and militant school organisations are shouting resign while the military is sitting on a neutral stance.

so how come it has not happened yet....is it because the opposition themselves are divided and that they have no concrete platform of government.or that they themselves are jockeying for position to take the chance to run the country.

so how come it has not happened yet....is there a different group other than the opposition trying to manuever itself into position.

so who started all of this? is it really the opposition or a totally different group all together.

witnesses have come forward saying they personally gave illegal gambling money to government officials some of whom are the president's immediate family. they also claim that the money was used to rig the last elections. wire tapped conversations of the president and other political figures are coming out of the woodwork and those exposing them are all saying that what they have are the original ones.

so how come it has not happened yet.....plain and simple, the current president has the backing of the military and the former president who really controls the military and the US....plain and simple.
