(P)GMA's STAYING POWER?

(P)GMA's STAYING POWER?
by JNPonsaran

As I see it, (P)GMA's staying power (despite the public outcry for her resignation) is reinforced/buttressed by the following reasons/factors:
1. opposition's lack of identified leader to unite their ranks as all of them have conflicting political agenda
2. FVR factor
3. the unwavering support of Lakas-CMD and Kampi parties
4. non-active participation of some of the sectors from the middle force who may dislike GMA's administration but are pre-occupied with something else
5. the statement of U.S. of its support to the constitution and the rule of law (which can be interpreted as an implied support to GMA's continuance to occupy the presidency)
6. strong political base of GMA among LGU officials (city and municipal mayors and provincial governors to be specific)
7. her support group among her appointees (especially cabinet members)
8. lack of consistency and intensity among some of her critics
9. lack of viable alternative from the opposition
10. CBCP's pastoral letter
11. apathy
12. her excellent maneuvering of the government machinery to serve her end (image projection, donations from the fund of OP)
