Photo from the Philippine Star
Guess what, I’m so surprised seeing the almost impossible political foes. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo walked on the aisle with Former President Joseph Erap Estrada as his escort! Say what?!
At the wedding of the daugher of Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia to the mayor of the town of Lilo-an (also in Cebu) last weekend, these two VIPs were invited and guess what…Gloria and Erap went on the aisle together, kapit bisig pa! This is something you won’t see everyday after former lambasted the latter last SONA. Seemingly irreconcilable since they are both of opposing views and Erap was replaced by Gloria during People Power 2 in January 2001…and Erap is a staunch critic of the President.
Not only Erap and Gloria, but also the former ABSCBN anchors Vice President Noli DeCastro and former Senator Loren Legarda walked on the aisle just behind Erap! Say what!?! Yup, they’re at friction with each other regarding the vice presidency post back then…and now…like Erap and Gloria…walking on the aisle!
I may be a critic or a skeptic that this is a publicity move by both parties since after former President Cory Aquino passed away last weekend. There have been uneasy political situations during the wake…seems that Cory Magic lives on to these people…well I hope they are sincere about it, but Philippine politics…is more like a starfruit or balimbing. Yet, I love seeing political factions united and civil as one. After all, this is what Tita Cory would want (but I dunno about Aquino-Arroyo relations though).
Yet even if this is a publicity stint or what, I commend them for being civil with each other and smiled at the uneasy situations. But beyond the photo, what lies ahead is on how this country should progress from a third world economy to another economic powerhouse. This may just a facade. But the people needs genuine and sincere service. And I hope they both walk with each other together with the Filipino people towards prosperity and peace.
Oh alas, the question: Politico = sincerity. That I have to ask the people.
Nope…not that sexy actress but a “sexy” governor named Gwendolyn Garcia.
