SALUNGGUHIT
They're Not Buying It
As
reaction to the growing clamor for the removal of President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo from office, the administration camp has been painting
Metro Manila and the provinces with pro-Arroyo streamers and posters. The
proliferation of propaganda paraphernalia is meant to dissuade people from
supporting anti-administration rallies as these will hurt the economy and
are just designed for power grab by small groups. The costly paraphernalia
could be part of what critics say is the use of government resources by
the president’s supporters mainly to save Arroyo. However, the hungry
masses – the people most severely victimized by the policies of the
Macapagal-Arroyo administration – are not buying this propaganda tactic of
the regime. They know that the removal of an administration that has
plunged them into more and more hunger is in their immediate best
interests.
