NO RECOURSE FOR ARROYO BUT RESIGNATION -MAZA

"Resign now. It is the one honorable recourse that President Arroyo
can take having lost all  moral fiber to lead our country." Gabriela
Women's Partylist Representative Liza Largoza Maza.

"The longer she holds on to power, the harder she will fall. How can
President Arroyo even profess to lead the country out of poverty and
rid this government of corruption? Evidence clearly point to how she
has taken away the people's will and destroyed a democratic exercise.
President Arroyo should realize she has come to the end of the line,"
said Maza

Details of how President Arroyo manipulated election results continue
to unravel with witness Samuel Ong revealing the original tapes of
President Arroyo's conversations with election Commissioner
Garcillano.

The Gabriela solon meanwhile echoed calls for Susan Roces, wife of
presidential bet Fernando Poe, Jr. to join the people's movement in
putting an end to the injustice done to the people's sovereign will.
"She is a welcome addition to the throngs of women who will fight for
a government that is truly representative of the people's will."

Maza also proposed that a people's congress be held in order to decide
on alternatives to the failed governance of President Arroyo and to
ensure that the will of the people will not be betrayed. "A broad
gathering of patriotic forces from different classes and sectors will
provide the spark for renewal." #
