'87 Constitution.

What about the coups?

Who would you have expected to take the reins at that time?

hum, but those were partially due to the leadership of Cory.

Who would've you replaced her with? :/

well, regardless. She was in the same place that GMA is in now--yeah, she's not doing it right, but better than all the other madmen.

That always seems to be a problem in this country. A lack of Obamas.

well, that's why we have elections, neh?

No, serious, I mean--that's what she was there for. She kept us off of anarchy.

that's what they said about Macoy.

I'd rather have Cory as president than Gringo Honasan.

on a more serious note, that's the risk we have with democracy, that the person who will come next is not necessarily better than the

one previous.

but she did admit that she was no political animal, maybe she should've stepped down after ensuring a successful election

we were just smarter about who to vote for, and do some serious vetting by ourselves.

That's the thing, she had no political tricks up her sleeve. The feeling of security she gave the nation was paramount.

'87

and at that time who would have taken over? Enrile would have easily wanted to establish his military junta - and he could have easily done

Enrile, who my uncle calls the evillest man alive in Manila.

but then that's why Cory is around, to ensure that democracy thrives without necessarily being the President.
