PRESS STATEMENT OF CONGRESSMAN ROILO GOLEZ Congressman Roilo Golez, 2nd District of Parañaque City 25 July 2005
SONA OF PGMA

PGMA totally ignored the grave moral issues against her. She did not address the Garci tape and jueteng issues. She has lost touch with reality and is on a denial stage.

Her statement on charter change and radical change in position from constitutional convention to constituent assembly are devious and are contrived to achieve two politically motivated objectives:

1. Win brownie points from Congress as she now confronts a real impeachment case.

2. Divert the attention of the public by starting a national debate away from charges that she rigged the 2004 election.

She blamed the existing system and called it a degenerate political system. But she did not mention that she is the one being charged with abusing and manipulating that system to win the 2004 election. She made the existing system more degenerate.

Her statements supporting federalism is very divisive, pitting the local executives against Congress, and the countryside against Metro Manila.

Her proposals on chacha and federalism, if taken seriously, will further divide the country. She has emerged as the most divisive President in recent history causing the following:

1. Divided the former presidents

2. Divided the cabinet

3. Divide the religious organizations

4. Divided the businessmen

5. Divided Liberal Party, NPC, and LAKAS

6. Divided even her family

On peace & order, she ignored the fact that the seven months from the start of this year have been the most murderous months in recent history with more than 50 high profile killings including the killing of two former congressmen, several mayors, vice mayors, councilors, businessmen and a lot of journalist.
