After 1 and a half months of waiting

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Noli de Castro were finally proclaimed by Congress as President and Vice-President, respectively, of our Dear Philippines.
At more or less 3:45 A.M. of June 24, 2004, I’ve watched the event live from the Batasang Pambansa. It’s very early in the morning when the “speeches and objections” were finished.
This is a very divisive and "bruising" election but the majority party, for the first time in recent elections, controlled the two top posts in the executive and the majority in Congress, both houses.
I can say that there could be more coordination, in national policies, in the future.
For the administration party, be magnanimous in victory. You must exert all effort to hear the dissenting views of people who have not voted for you, like me >:-)
I have observed that democracy, as practiced today, is a tyranny of the majority. The true test of our democracy is how the majority respects the minority opinion.
For the opposition, bring your advocacies to a much higher level. Focus on what the ordinary Juan de la Cruz wants, not what you want, just to be perceived as “independent.”
Simply remember that you’re just a representative and a servant, not your own boss, that you must express the people’s will.
You can also dissent without being nasty and obstructionists.
To Fernando Poe, stop now your politicking. Our Dear Pinas needs unity.
For the common Pinoys, stop entertaining notions of destabilization. We can contribute, in our own little ways, to the economic upliftment of our Dear Pinas.
Remember that a rich country has more options than beggars.

Congratulations to both winners and losers.
