haay... the "concerned" faculty of ADMU... what a disappointment...
i can't believe that the ateneo faculty wants gma to step down... and in such a not so eloquent manner too.
(there's a full page ad of "A Call to National Healing in a Time of Crisis" by the concerned faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University in the Inquirer today. if you guys haven't seen it, i think blurredlights has a soft copy of it.)
i think i have the right to be not so eloquent because i'm a student. but, c'mon, they're teachers. parang tuloy hindi nila pinag-isipan kung ano yung sinulat nila dun. i can't believe a teacher wrote that. anyway, on to what i'm trying to say:
asking gma to step down shows impatience. it's like a shortcut to what really should be done. pinangungunahan na nila yung konstitusyon. lahat na kasi gusto ng instant. what gma did was an attack on the laws of an institution and of democracy. if we want to set things right, then we should follow the law -- the exact thing that gma violated. asking her to step down shows more disregard to the rules -- to the process of law. (i wish i could be more eloquent about this, but i hope you guys get the point.)
what gma did was an impeachable case, and so therefore, the right thing to do is to put her in trial. there, she will be able to defend herself; and the process will really be able to prove if she did tamper with the votes. this is when people should be more critical because during the impeachment trial, a lot of facts will be brought to light; and a lot of things will probably be proven / discovered. do the people think that the problems will end when gma steps down? more questions will only arise and none of them will be answered. nothing will be proven... just more opinions... and goodness knows we have more than enough of that.
if the ateneo faculty wants gma to be personally accountable to what she has done, then the impeachment trial is the perfect place to show this "personal accountability."
