[The Philippines] is currently under a regime born of chaos--the five bombing incidents dubbed the FIDEL blasts, reportedly engineered by Gloria [Arroyo] and her conspirators in the year 2000 that led to Edsa II and their power-grab. The legacy of that is the substitution of law with force in the conduct of state and social affairs, starting with the murder of two-dozen civilians at Edsa III, the unconstitutional declaration of a state of rebellion, the suppression of the right to assembly through Batasang Pambansa 880 to break up rallies, the neo-martial law Executive Order 1017, the denial of public accountability with EO 464, the anti-human anti-terror law, the extra-judicial executions, ad nausea.
