An environmentalist says: "Let's recycle to protect the environment." That's what they're doing in politics these days. They recycle political has-beens by making them run for the Senate.

Well and good. We hope she does so resolutely because this time it is a question of whether she breaks up the vested interests or they break her. GMA should just forget about the ratings in the latest SWS survey because what is important now is her political will to do what needs to be done to turn things around for this country.

Calling herself a "non-political president," Mrs. Arroyo said she is prepared to make bold and tough decisions — even if they are unpopular — to avoid a possible fiscal crisis while pushing her anti-poverty program.

"Let there be no mistake: I will move this nation forward. I will take on whatever vested interests stand in my way. If these interests believe they can destabilize and sabotage our efforts, they better think twice," Mrs. Arroyo told a press forum of the Manila Overseas Press Club (MOPC) and the "Tuesday Club," both headed by STAR publisher Max Soliven, at the Ristorante La Dolce Fontana in Greenhills, San Juan.

When the moderator of the forum, Biznews Asia editor and MOPC president Tony Lopez, commented that Mrs. Arroyo sounded like she meant business, she replied: "I think I can do that, being a non-political president. In fact, I don’t even have to be popular." [DatePublished] => 2004-09-08 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1804833 [AuthorName] => Marichu A.
