Statement of the President: On the
Dismissal of Impeachment Complaint
President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo
6 August 2005
Malacañang Palace
The Filipino people
mark a glorious day in history, when instead of forcing a President out of
office through people power, they chose to keep a President through voting
in the halls of Constitutional Democracy.
This is a grand
display of political maturity that seals our stability and resilience as a
nation battling the vagaries of a challenging age, and poised for takeoff.
I thank my allies in
the administration for their faith in my leadership and in the good future
of our country.
The opposition put up
a good fight and I now offer my hand in reconciliation for the national
interest.
I am grateful to my
family who quietly stood by my side, and most of all to the Filipino
people, here and in four corners of this earth, who have stayed the course
of responsible democracy.
Let us move on to a
brighter tomorrow with the grace of God, ever grateful for His guidance
and His blessings. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
