RRoy’siPadGloria Macapagal Arroyo’s presidency hit rock-bottom as it ended on June 30, 2010 when she yielded the baton to successor Benigno S. Aquino lll. It had been sliding down steeply as scuttlebutt rose damning her of having cheated front-running presidential candidate Ronnie Poe in the previous elections. She was accused of electoral sabotage, plunder, and graft and corruption, but she was eventually exonerated of all of them.

Today, she serves her constituents in Pampanga as their honorable lawmaker in the house of representatives. With my highest respect for the lady, hereunder is my 2009 lyrical spoof patterned after the melody of My Way.

HER WAY

AND NOW THE END IS NEAR FOR GMA AND ALL HER COHORTS / WITH CHARM AD WILY PLOYS SHE BREACHED THE LAW TO CLING TO POWER / SHE STOLE A MILLION VOTES BY PHONING UP SOMEONE CALLED GARCI / OH NO DONT YOU BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS SORRY.

REGRETS SHE NEVER HAD FOR DOING WRONG TO GOD AND COUNTRY / SHE DID WHAT SHE DARED TO DO AND SAW IT THROUGH WITHOUT COMPUNCTION / SHE PLANNED EACH CHEATING COURSE EACH SNEAKY STEP FOR HER BETRAYAL / WE CRINGED AT HER BEHESTS THAT WERE SO FINAL.

YES THERE WERE TIMES SHE SURELY KNEW THAT SHE BIT OFF MORE THAN SHE COULD CHEW / BUT THROUGH IT ALL THERE ALWAYS WAS A SYCOPHANT WHO’D TAKE THE BLAME / WITH BORING GUILE SHE’D THEN PROCLAIM IT WAS NOT HER SHAME.

SHE KEPT A LOT OF NAMES THAT LITTERED UP HER SECRET PAYROLL / FROM GOONS IN UNFORM TO ALL OF THOSE BOOT-LICKIN’ “TRADPOLS” / AND WOW SHE DID ALL THAT AND WE MAY SAY NOT IN A SHY WAY / AND HECK THIS BRAZEN WRETCH SHE DID IT HER WAY.

WE’VE ALWAYS KNOWN ‘TWAS RONNIE POE WHO WON THE VOTES IN MINDANAO / SHE BROKE THE RULES AND MADE US FOOLS SHE’LL SURELY LEARN CRIME DOES NOT PAY / THE CURTAIN’S DOWN FOR GMA WHO DID IT HER WAY.
