#3 Arroyo slithers away.

Kinda makes you wonder who did more damage to themselves. Spain, who threw their national election, or the Philippines who actually paid millions in ransom. [run-on sentence alert!]

The rot of Marcos-style government finally comes home to roost in a population and government whose judicial and law enforcement systems are sufficiently corrupted to such an extent that collaboration is no longer regarded as appeasement.
