The 2004 Garcigate Campaign (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo & Hello Garci)

Phones everywhere began to ring incessantly with that sound bite as the most popular ringtone to have “Hello Garci? Hello Garci? Hello Garci?” ... there is not a doubt in anyone’s mind that it was GMA in the call. That voice is as distinct as anything else about her ... Her denial is only making things worse, making people angrier or just making her look dumber and shameless in general. GMA knows this as well as anyone. She’s corrupt and a cheater, but she’s not stupid. There’s only so much that flagrant obfuscating can cover up. . Sources and music credit can be found at www.wipincph.com/yugto .
