Presidential puppet Anthony Golez criticized Sen. Noynoy Aquino’s spiritual retreat as "gimmickry." Before that Ate Glo advised Sen. Aquino to step out of the shadow of his famous parents and be his own man.

Another presidential marionette –I forget his name– said that Malacañang was not threatened by the prospect of Sen. Aquino running for President in 2010.

Now be the judge, dear reader, if the above doesn’t reveal that GMA is, indeed, threatened if not downright paranoid.

But, they have an ace up their sleeve. They’re hoping that the opposition does not unite under a single candidate, specifically Noynoy. They’re hoping that one of GMA’s sycophants gets elected so that Arroyo and her ilk don’t get prosecuted for their plunder. Or, at the very least, they get pardoned.

But hoping that the opposition remains disunited will not be enough. So they’ll put spoilers in place to divide the vote. One of these is Gilberto Teodoro. Another is Dick Gordon.

Dick is … well … a dick. He showed his true color when, during the hearing into the ZTE broadband deal, he castigated whistleblowers Joey de Venecia and Rodolfo Lozada instead of trying to find out the truth. It’s hard not to imagine invisible strings manipulating Dick.

Yet, take a look at the other presidential hopefuls. They pale in comparison, not only to Sen. Aquino, but Sen. Mar Roxas as well. When Sen. Roxas announced he was foregoing his candidacy in favor of supporting Aquino, he made the other presidential candidates look self-serving and keeping secret agendas.

Malacañang apparently sees this; for why are they training their guns on Sen. Aquino?

But let me give a piece of advice to Golez and his fellow mouthpieces: Before wagging your tongues, take a look behind your shoulders and see first if your boss has the moral ascendancy to judge an activity such as a spiritual retreat.

At the very least, take a look at youtube and see the kind of son she raised. As far as I’m concerned, I’d rather stake my belief on Noynoy standing under the shadow of his parents than Mikey Arroyo standing under the shadow of his.
