Gloria should realize that the all-out support she enjoys from her political allies, i.e. local executives, congressmen, cabinet appointees, state security forces, etc., is only momentary. It all emanates from the patronage* that goes along with the position she occupies.
Nothing is permanent, only transactional. Malupit humatol ang kasaysayan.
