Your degree shows in your post, sir.

Very possible. It's quite sad though that it really just had to be a freaking president of a country to be somebody else's fall guy. It's even worse that it had to be our president and our country's name smeared. With all the internal problems we inherited from after the Marcos dictatorship, the Asian financial crisis and all the impromptu rallies and strikes, a president tried for plunder was the last thing we needed.
On second thought, an ex-actor and high school drop-out was the last person we needed as our president.
I have to say though, medyo naawa ako sa kanya, sobrang iilan lang sa dati niyang cronies ang dumalaw sa kanya while he was under house arrest. The rest went into hiding or just simply refused to be associated with him after his fall.

I do agree with your sentiments for a much more permanent solution to corruption though, but that would entail getting to the very core of what drives people to something like that. And optimist as I am, I don't think it will happen within our lifetimes.
