Following the (predictable) defeat of impeachment in the House of Representatives in September, the response of the nat-dems was to call for a “people’s court” to try Arroyo. This sarsuela (a folk dance of love and hate) – initiated by Bayan Muna, Bayan and the KMU – was empty political theater.
Matapos ang (inaasahan na) pagkatalo ng impeachment sa House of Representatives noong Setyembre, ang sagot ng mga nat-dem ay manawagan ng isang “people’s court” upang litisin si Arroyo. Ang sarsuwelang ito – na pinangunahan ng Bayan Muna, Bayan at ng KMU – ay lumalabas na isang walang laman na pulitikal na palabas.
