As DJB has said so aptly, "A leader is the compass of a nation."<BR/><BR/>Right now, the country has no compass to speak of and is blatantly LEADERLESS.<BR/><BR/>It has people at the helm who like to call themselves LEADERS but they have not thoroughly learned the basic science of navigation which is both a process of an excellent scientific education and keen mental aptitude to learn the art.<BR/><BR/>An example of a LEADER is Margaret Thatcher!<BR/><BR/>Others are Lee Kuan Yew, Mahathir Mohammad, Charles de Gaulle, Eisenhower, Clinton, even Reagan, Tony Blair or Bush (ugh, I found that very hard to type), Fidel Castro; why, even Mugabe is proving to be a real Leader better than Gloria and God, how I hate myself for even mentioning that stinker's name (at least he's got the guts to say "F...you!" to UK's Tony Blair).<BR/><BR/>And don't forget that FIDEL RAMOS was a better leader once upon a time, recognized locally and internationally than Gloria would ever be! <BR/><BR/>And to me, Cory was a LEADER at the beginning of her initiation to live politics...even His Political Turbulence Cardinal Sin was a good political leader. Of course, that he chose to exercise a totally sinful form of political leadership is another matter, etc, etc, etc,....HILLBLOGGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977843513566589811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1137062098779485632006-01-12T18:34:00.000+08:002006-01-12T18:34:00.000+08:00BFR,Of course, teka teka is being segurista...I th...BFR,<BR/><BR/>Of course, teka teka is being segurista...<BR/><BR/>I think you and I have just described FVR quite accurately.HILLBLOGGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977843513566589811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1137024156693399452006-01-12T08:02:00.000+08:002006-01-12T08:02:00.000+08:00Is FVR also "teka,teka?"

Right now he is happy because some people are taking him seriously as if he matters. <BR/><BR/>But it is not what he thinks and what he will do next that matter right now. Rather, it is what the PEOPLE THINK, AND WHAT THE PEOPLE WILL DO NEXT THAT REALLY MATTER. And nobody knows right now what that is. <BR/><BR/>And this baffles everybody and is the reason nobody of note has taken a step towards a one-way street with his back to wall. No one that is, except FAELDON who has challenged Gloria frontally and is still scott-free and has titillated every Filipino with the claim that he has entered and gone out of Wescom and Southcom unhampered. He has taken a lonely road. OR IS IT REALLY LONELY? If his website is a gauge and assuming his counter is accurate, he is not alone.Bernardo F.

It was the other generals fresh from Mindanao! <BR/><BR/>The Camp Aguinaldo camp commander at the time couldn't even find Cory's blasted chief of staff - the guy was sleeping soundly somewhere and was at the end of his gong, almost to the point of having a nervous breakdown. <BR/><BR/>Boy Abadia had to make do with the rebels who were about to overrun Aguinaldo.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I'm not belittling FVR but am just saying that when it comes to the crunch, he is still the teka-teka general that he's always been.HILLBLOGGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977843513566589811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1136940239911556222006-01-11T08:43:00.000+08:002006-01-11T08:43:00.000+08:00At the moment of truth, I think she will blink.At the moment of truth, I think she will blink.Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1136935979871830102006-01-11T07:32:00.000+08:002006-01-11T07:32:00.000+08:00Why should GMA listen to FVR?

EDSA 1 happened because the people erupted to action because of Ninoy's charisma and in defiance of Marcos. He became President because 20 percent of Filipinos voted for him. Now even that 20 percent is gone.<BR/> But is he still capable of mischief? Yes, that is why GMA used him when she was on the verge of being ousted. Now GMA knows that mischief can be controlled. So why should she listen to fvr?<BR/> And lastly, I believe that GMA now realize that it was not fvr who saved her, but Gloria herself. Because unlike Marcos and Erap, she did not flinch and did not budge even when confronted with the prospect of the flood of the people flowing on the streets. And at EDSA3 she gained the reputation that she is willing to use guns and goons against he Masa, even at the cost of thousands of lives in order to stay in power. Compared to her Marcos and Erap were of weak of heart because it bleeds for the people. Not Gloria.<BR/> Faeldon is brave. His pilino.org.ph is ample proof of this. But I hope they know that against Gloria they must be prepared to go all the way, at all cost, with the blood of the Filipinos in the streets of Metro Manila. And there will be no winners in this, at all.Bernardo F. Ronquillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04054476909603464900noreply@blogger.com
