Speaking hours after opposition legislators filed an impeachment complaint against her in the latest move to force her out, scandal-plagued President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo yesterday urged Congress to change the constitution to shift to a parliamentary form of government to ease the Philippines' constant political instability.
"The system clearly needs fundamental change -- and the sooner, the better," Arroyo, the subject of an impeachment complaint filed earlier in the day, said in her annual state of the nation address to a joint session of Congress.
A parliamentary system -- where lawmakers can vote out a sitting government -- would ease the upheaval that accompanies ousting a leader who has lost the ability to govern.

They live in a place where there is no law, no justice, NO PROTECTION from cronies, mafias... hired by Arroyo or Bush/Cheney. Their lives, their childrens, their spouses, their businesses... all in danger/threatened to be exterminated. But yet they have enough MORALITY to DO THE RIGHT THING!
It brings me back to my own country where our Democratic leaders and nothing but a bunch of SUCKING COWARD PUSSYS!
