FVR to Abandon GMA?

Newsflash: FVR demands apology from Presd’l Spokesman Ignacio Bunye for slur on retired soldiers. Gag order also wrong as FVR urges GMA to work for national unity as he expresses regret at the slow pace of moves to amend Charter. Break imminent as FVR leaves for Germany.

This is a copy of the text message supposedly initiated by FVR's press people. Finally, GMA's savior is seriously thinking of abandoning her supposedly for the "slow pace of moves to amend the Charter." Is this reason enough to renege on his promise to stay behind the President through the crisis? Or could it be that FVR has not received any of the compromises GMA has perhaps promised him?

GMA has been compromising since she decided to run for president in the 2004 Presidential Elections. She has to pay a lot of political debts she yet has to pay. And as the days pass, all she does is to lengthen the rope to keep her hand tied. This is why I believe she no longer has the capacity to lead our country for the common good. She continues to corrupt our democratic institutions to keep herself in power.

Madam President, what reasons have you to stay in power. Aren't you ever frustrated by your inability to make free and just decisions for the common good because of the many debts you have to honor? Are you able to get enough sleep, confident that you have the mandate of the people? Or would you rather live in an illusion? No one is invincible and indispensable Madam President. Soon you will have to go. My one hope is that you are now setting up the structures of you exit plan and smooth transition in governance. Please do not wait for more of your "loyal" pawns to desert you!
