Ang Pambansang Kahihiyan

  • Weeks before Erap's ouster, anti-Gloria forces sarcastically pointed out that GMA actually stood for Gahamang Maupo Agad -very true, ask Mike A.
  • -11% is Gloria's current net approval rating (SWS).
  • Since '01, Gloria has already appointed 9 AFP chiefs of staff (where they stayed for only an average of 11 months) and positioned 30+ (I lost count already) ex-AFP and PNP generals in the government departments, state firms and ambassadorial posts. READ: politicizing the state's security forces
  • Gloria knows very well who and how to pamper with pork, perks and positions.
  • Gloria's mantra is to crush foes and protect friends (in turn, they are also expected to be protective of her)=transactional politics
  • PhilStar columnist Boo Chanco aptly calls her Ate Glue (glued to her position).
