PING TO GMA: REFORM NOW, YOUR TIME MAY BE RUNNING OUT

If Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., an acknowledged supporter and ally of this administration, can speak of numbness to corruption by Mrs. Arroyo, how could the rest of our people think of their President?

Malacañang must be concerned when our people, amid the spectacle of brazen stealing, shameless lying and unprecedented hubris by any leader of this country, become numb enough to force another ouster.

The country cannot afford any more unconstitutional changing of the guard, lest we live up to become Asia's most prominent "banana republic." I cannot help but give an advice, unsolicited as it is, to Mrs. Arroyo: Reform now. Your time may be running out.
