Women March!
By the
WOMEN's Movement for Arroyo's Resignation and Regime
Change
We, women, who have gathered here today, call on Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
to step down. Emerging from our homes, schools, workplaces and
communities, we lend our voices to the thundering call for the immediate
resignation of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Today, we forge our unity against a woman president who has become a
hindrance to the economic and political empowerment of Filipino women.
Massive electoral fraud has been exposed, and our sovereign will and right
of suffrage has been trampled upon. Corruption reeks in the government
reaching up to the highest office of the land.
Under Arroyo's regime, women continue to suffer unprecedented poverty
brought about by the Value Added Tax, unemployment, increases in the
prices of oil and basic commodities and the deprivation of basic services.
Political repression and violence against women is prevalent.
This cannot continue.
United, women must begin to pave the way for alternative governance that
will be transparent and moral, that will uphold the interests of our
people, of women and our families. We refuse to allow our children to
inherit a government that tolerates fraud and corruption, a leadership
that breeds poverty, violence and injustice. GMA is a shame to our nation
and a shame to all women who once rejoiced in having a second woman
president.
Mrs. Arroyo has lost all moral authority to govern.
Mrs. Arroyo, step down now or risk your ouster from Malacanang. Posted
