We need to ask: hindi ba siya naman ang sumira sa sarili niyang pangalan at "puri"? Siya ang sumira sa sarili niya dala ng "Hello, Garci", ng fertilizer fund scam, ng NBN-ZTE deal, ng Maguindanao Massacre, at ng marami pang iba... Maraming naging sanhi ng paninira ng kanyang pangalan na ang dating pangulo mismo ang may kagagawan.
President Aquino ran under a campaign of cleaning up corruption. The Arroyo administration had a long history of corruption cases and scandals, and we cannot just turn a blind eye to all of this. This administration is just doing its job and fulfilling a campaign promise. What would we have this administration do--simply let things go because she is a former president? No--true justice is about uncovering the truth and holding people accountable for their actions regardless of their positions in office or society.

At habang ang dating Pangulo ay inililipat ngayon mula St. Luke's papuntang VMMC, ang hiling lang natin sa mga opisyal ng pamahalaan ay: puwede nating bigyan si GMA ng "courtesy" gawa ng kanyang dating puwesto bilang pangulo, but let's please not go out of our way to give her special treatment.
