Abalos steps down

Even before the impeachment case against him has formally begun, Comelec chair Bejamin Abalos stepped down from his office. The resignation of the besieged Abalos was pathetic. What's with all those tears and use of drama to spice up his act? Making pa-awa did not work. The news viewers are now intelligent. They know that the accusations against Abalos are true. His highly questionable dealings with ZTE has taken its toll on his career. The appeal to emotions tactic of is futile. In the meantime, he has to attend the ongoing Senate hearings on the matter. Looking at the wider picture, he still has not cleared his name on the previous controversies he got himself involved in, most notably, the Hello Garci scandal and that of the cheating incidents during recent senatorial elections. The Comelec under his term, according to a topnotch election lawyer Atty. Leila Delima, is one of the dirtiest that has ever existed. Hence, there is no more reason for him to stay in office. Fellow staunch GMA supporter (In)Justice Secretary Gonzales must follow suit. Oh, and GMA herself too.

Where will this telenovela lead us?

Abangan na lang natin ang susunod na kabanata...
