LOL That's like saying the geishas of the Philippines or something to that effect. All Philippine politicos are centrists. No one likes to take a stand in fear of offending the other side. That leaves our politics in a sad state of personality-based fanaticism. All candidates stand for the same thing and that's why we depend on WHO they are to make our decisions. The democrats of the Philippines? LOL

Oh, I dunno about that. For one, they don't have a united (or at least, a seemingly united) philosophy. NP and LP are the Republicans and Democrats of the Philippines? Oh, I dunno about that.

At least someone in the higher echelons of society dared to speak up against it. I like Mar Roxas but I was shocked when he filed a Senate resolution calling for Pres Estrada's pardon. I wonder why he made that motion? I think the balance of power in our democracy between the executive and the judiciary was put in jeopardy when Pres GMA pardoned Pres Estrada. And I even read a report that said our democracy rating declined because of the pardon. I found the inquirer report here: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080117-113077/Estrada-pardon-helped-pull-down-RP-democracy-rating It’s good to know that Ramos was not too happy with Pres Estrada’s pardon.
