In any case , a civilian junta, unelected, no matter how well-meaning or competent, is hardly advisable to replace a sitting president being accused of, in the first place, stealing votes.Ronnel Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604678936524323827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246289.post-1123998005993578402005-08-14T13:40:00.000+08:002005-08-14T13:40:00.000+08:00Liway Chato was incompetent even as a BIR Commissi...Liway Chato was incompetent even as a BIR Commissioner.

The idea is either politically naive or ruthlessly opportunistic. I myself am a member of civil society, but I think this caretaker government will be nothing more than civil society making a power grab of its own.Ronnel Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604678936524323827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246289.post-1123823227966300862005-08-12T13:07:00.000+08:002005-08-12T13:07:00.000+08:00members of the council will be chosen based on the...members of the council will be chosen based on their performance in the anti-gma struggle? then that means we'll be having marcos and erap loyalists dominating it. i don't think i can put myself to trust a council composed of these people. <BR/><BR/>i see something dangerous with the formation of such a council. by what or whose authority do they exercise their function? does this mean that a bunch of groups from civil society can just band together and make themselves the authority in cleansing the government? unless, of course, this is provided for in the constitution.slim whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711837069329103147noreply@blogger.com
