July 27, 2009 will be a turning point in Filipino democracy whether something "unscheduled" will happen or not. I say this because the SONA of PGMA might yield something that could put an end to what Cory Aquino fought for 23 years ago, ironically the former president is not in a good condition and still in the hospital as of this moment. We still don't know if the rumors are true that martial law will be declared based on the multitude of bombings a few weeks back or the Lakas-Kampi people will railroad one more time the highly controversial Con-Ass.
Another scenario might happen though, the President could once and for all silence her detractors and declare categorically, no ifs and buts that she will respect the fundamental law of the land which exists to uphold fairness and equality among Filipinos that she would step down from office next year and not seek for any other elective position in the government. By doing so, she could save her reputation as one of the most unpopular presidents of all time and leave with grace and dignity.
Saying that she won't run however does not constitute that she wouldn't really run. Quite amusing is the fact that one of the most untrusted persons in the country is the one who runs it. She has proven not once but a gazillion times that she can't help but lie. I need not specify because it has been apparent ever since she assumed the presidency in 2001. I would love to listen to her reveal the "true" state of the nation for one last time.
