Arroyo won’t follow Thai premier’s example (12:11 p.m.)
MANILA -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would not do a Thaksin.
This was the message of Malacañang following the decision of Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to step down from office to solve the political crisis in Thailand.
Presidential adviser for political affairs Gabriel Claudio said the situation in the Philippines and Thailand are different and the President does not need to follow the lead of her counterpart.
“She has a mandate to keep and for the sake of the country, she will not (step down). Developments in Thailand are unique and peculiar to itself. The Philippines is a different story and situation altogether,” he said.(JMR/Sunnex)
