In anticipation of the scheduledJuly 30, 2009 visit of Philippine"President" Gloria Arroyo to theWhite House, a group of Filipino patriots wrote an open letter toUnited States President Barack Obama urging him to look intothe genuine state of the Philippinenation. The communicationreminds the US leader of hisinaugural address that warnedworld leaders "who cling to power through corruption anddeceit and the silencing of dissent… [as being] on the wrongside of history."The signatories, which includetwo former Senate Presidents,former senators and cabinetsecretaries, activist religiousleaders, and the NBN-ZTE bribery scandal whistle-blower,urge the American leader to bewell "mindful of Ms Arroyo'slegacy of corruption, extra- judicial killings, enforceddisappearances, torture, bribery,election cheating, among others."The meat of the letter imploresObama "to inspire hope and be aninstrument of change for thecommon good of the longsuffering Filipino people."
 P.S.
 
US President Obama, this humble brown column asks you not to boost RP "President"Arroyo's "wrong side of history" position by letting your office be used to sanitize andlegitimize her vile and mandate-less regime. Let me remind you of your Inaugural Addresshere at:
...To those who cling to power through corruptionand deceit and the silencingof dissent, know that youare on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you arewilling to unclench your fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let cleanwaters flow; to nourishstarved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to thosenations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say wecan no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it....
May I also kindly ask you to read an interesting account of the history of your relationswith Arroyo here:
 
 Arroyo had gone on an aggressive seeking of theopportunity to meet up and try forging close relations with(translation 2: stalking) Obama as early as June 2008 whenhe was yet the presumed Democratic presidential nominee--apparently to ensure the political support of Bush's successor to her precarious presidency.
 Her first attempt came via an expensive, 10-day, non-state visit to the US inthe midst of the American presidential electoral process, but which failed toobtain even a glimpse of his charismatic presence.... But beware, half of the letter's signatories were responsible for installing the bogus"President" Arroyo. Allow me:
The Edsa II "People Power" coup d d’état was hatched through the coalesced leadership of elements of political opportunists galvanizing under then Vice-President Arroyo,rebel military influenced by ex-President Fidel Ramos,Catholic bishops led by Jaime Cardinal Sin, and Philippineleftists such as former communist rebel Satur Ocampo.Undoubtedly, there were other groups behind theunconstitutional "fiesta" mob rule of the 2001 Edsa. Therewere the influential business elites, of course, and as well,the Protestant Jesus is Lord Movement by Bro. EddieVillanueva. These groups could be said to be the plotters,
