Just Thinking Aloud - Duterte vs ... ?

 Just Thinking Aloud 


A Sara Duterte presidency in 2028 will ensure that Romualdez, Co, et al -- maybe even including Marcos Jr. -- is charged in court, indicted and incarcerated.

The only way Romualdez and his minions could escape a future in jail is to impeach and convict Duterte next year or even in 2027. But that is now a tall order considering the implications of the SC decision released on 25 July 2025. Also, it is very doubtful that new Speaker Bojie Dy will push for it. Maybe Sandro Marcos will orchestrate it but that remains to be seen. 

Of course the dilawans will still file their own impeachment cases against Duterte but the congressmen will not support them. 

Another way is to support a strong candidate for president in 2028 that has the best chance of beating Duterte. But who? Leni Robredo? Bam Aquino? Raffy Tulfo? Jonvic Remulla?

Immigration Man Song by David Crosby, Graham Nash

There I was, at the immigration scene
Shining and feeling clean
Could it be a sin?
I got stopped by the immigration man
He said he doesn't know if he can let me in
Let me in, immigration man
Can I cross the line and pray?
I can stay another day
Let me in, immigration man
I won't toe your line today, I can't see it anyway
There he was with his immigration face
Giving me a paper chase
But the sun was coming
'Cause all at once he looked into my space
Stamped a number over my face
And it sent me runnin'
Won't you let me in, immigration man?
Can I cross the line and pray?
I can stay another day
Won't you let me in, immigration man?
I won't toe your line today, I can't see it anyway
Here I am with my immigration form
It's big enough to keep me warm
When a cold wind's coming
So go where you will
As long as you think you can
You better watch out, watch out for the man
Anywhere you're going
Come on and let me in, immigration man
Can I cross the line and pray?
Take your fingers from the tray
Let me in, irritation man
I won't toe your line today, I can't see it anyway

Unthinking

Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.
