Arroyo’s House allies told: Anti-impeachment is ’kiss of death’

One of the complainants in the fresh impeachment bid against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Saturday warned allies of the President in the House of Representatives that their plot to massacre the second impeachment case against the Chief Executive would cost their respective political career at the local and national level.

“ President Arroyo’s pork barrel offensive will not save their grossly clouded political career. An anti-impeachment stance is a kiss of death, a suicidal position,” the left-leaning fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said in a press statement.

Pamalakaya information officer Gerry Albert Corpuz issued the fresh warning after House Majority Floor Leader Prospero Nograles assured critics of President Macapagal-Arroyo that the dismissal of the complaints filed by citizens complainants would be faster than the previous impeachment case lodged against the President.

Two administration congressmen, Representatives Monico Puentevella of Bacolod City and Isidro Real of Zamboanga del Sur disclosed last week that the pro-administration majority had reached a consensus to junk the impeachment case against President Arroyo.

But Pamalakaya’s Corpuz lashed back at Nograles, Puentevella and Real and accused them of plotting to murder the second impeachment complaint, stressing that the three pro-Arroyo congressmen have no sense of truth, justice and accountability.

He said the three pro-Arroyo lawmakers were only obsessed to the pork barrel and other goodies Mrs. Arroyo would give them as reward in case they succeed in killing the citizens’ complaint against Mrs. Arroyo. Corpuz branded Nograles and other anti-impeachment solons as dirty and Jurassic politicians who all deserved to be thrown to the dustbin of history.

“ Public opinion and mass movement will punish those who would collaborate with this corrupt, criminal and illegitimate regime. The likes of Nograles, Puentevella and Real should realize that they could not win electoral positions in 2007 through their association with Mrs. Arroyo and her pork barrel gifts,” Corpuz said.

The group’s spokesperson said they are now monitoring the respective act and position of each congressman on the second impeachment case against President Arroyo. Pamalakaya’s Corpuz said they would keep a monitoring chart that would evaluate each lawmaker, those who would conspire with Malacañang to shoot down the impeachment case will automatically included in the reject list for the 2007 national elections.

“ We will campaign for their outright rejection. We will expose to the public their gory crimes against the Filipino people, including but not limited to the national murder of the impeachment case against Arroyo,” Pamalakaya said.

Pro-Arroyo lawmakers at the Lower House argued that most of the charges ranged against President Arroyo were rehashed, saying no new issues were raised against President Arroyo and the House of Representatives headed by Speaker Jose de Venecia would never be party to the misuse of constitutionally-mandated process for partisan ends, like a de facto power grab, or gaining political mileage for next year’s senatorial elections. #
