Philippines: Perspective on current situation

By: Inquirer News Service, November 27, 2005 Are Filipinos getting tired of using people power to replace a sitting President for the third time since 1986? PRESIDENT Macapagal-Arroyo survived an attempt to impeach her, but 58 percent of Filipinos still want her to resign, according to results of a nationwide survey conducted by Pulse Asia Inc. last month. Despite this sentiment, street protests calling for the President's resignation have failed to muster the numbers that made Edsa I and II successful. Multi-sectoral alliances against Ms Arroyo have been formed to no avail. DD 11.30.2005
