I remember it was high, saddest time for my dad when erap got ousted and Arroyo’s got the best of the whole ordeal. My father was a hardcore erap loyalist. He was instrumental for erap’s win in my province, in a little way. He help erap as if they have been friends for so long or they even know it’s other. It’s like doing something for erap without asking to be paid back. He talks about erap in every family gathering. Sometimes when i look at him in the morning, i thought i saw erap but then again it was just my father. I saw my father reaction when erap was kick of his seat, he was yelling in resentment. I dont remember, by the whole impeachment proceeding, without him shouting on the t.v screen harsh words on chavit. He hates chavit so much. My mother dont like erap that much but she eventually got drawn to love him because of my father. On why my father is so hooked with erap? It may have lead back to the day when my father was still attending college in manila. He may have idolized erap so much as an actor because he also like FPJ. Thats what i believe in about my father’s over fascination of erap. In the eyes of my father. Erap is the only hope for this country. The solution to every problem this country is facing, and the only one who can win people’s heart. Agree?
I respect your father’s conviction about Erap. We don’t need an attempt to persuade him that Erap is NOT and CAN NEVER BE the “solution to every problem this country is facing, and the only one who can win people’s heart.”
In fact (this is not just a perception), Erap was found GUILTY of amassing millions of pesos. Erap has been guilty of CORRUPTION! Guilty of plunder!
Now Erap wants to serve the Filipinos with his plan to run in 2010? Never again!
Here’s my opinion about it:
