		Vice President Teofisto Guingona, who also holds the position of Foreign Affairs Secretary, denied he had quit his post just minutes after Arroyo released a letter saying she was accepting his offer to stand down.
		Guingona had threatened to relinquish his Foreign Affairs post after the government kept him in the dark over the rules of engagement governing the joint military exercise between U.S. and Philippine troops.
		Guingona fiercely opposes the presence of U.S. troops in the country, saying it contravened with the Constitution, which bars foreign troops to engage in combat in the country.

		Moreover, Guingona has come across a lot of opportunities to compromise his convictions, but he has remained steadfast, unlike so many who are fervent in their causes only when these are the “in” things.
		Guingona is one of the few brilliant men we have in the government today, with genuine intelligence and love of country.

		Arroyo talked Guingona into becoming her new justice secretary, which was quickly denied by the President, and rightly so, because the post is still occupied by a trusted associate, beleaguered Secretary on-leave Hernando Perez.
		But this didn’t deter an administration senator, Juan Flavier, from endorsing Guingona as replacement for Perez, who is under intense pressure to quit in the wake of the $2 million payoff scandal that was ignited by Manila Rep. Mark Jimenez.
		Arroyo wanted to keep Guingona in her Cabinet after he was forced to quit as her secretary of foreign affairs last July.

		Arroyo, who appointed Guingona in 2001 to what in certain countries is the premiere cabinet post, has changed her mind about who should head foreign affairs since then, or a scant year later.
		Her decision in January of 2002 to bring back US troops, though in reduced numbers, at the very least suggested that the presence of foreign troops with the potential to directly intervene in Philippine affairs was not for her an issue of sovereignty, as it was apparently not the case for most Filipinos.
		What the Arroyo government–what the country–needs are in fact more Guingonas, it being so patently clear that he is an exception to a distressingly uniform belief in the wisdom of Philippine engagement with US purposes to the possible detriment of Philippine interests.

	:: Welcome to Manila Bulletin Online ::
		President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo welcomed yesterday Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr.’s defection to the opposition Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KNP) even as she downplayed its possible adverse repercussion on her electoral campaign in the May 10 elections.
		The Chief Executive, however, said Guingona’s defection would not pull down her campaign, stressing that she has elevated the level of her campaign from personality driven to issue-oriented to allow the Filipino electorate to be enlightened on who should best lead the country for the next six years.
		Guingona’s switch to Poe’s camp generated speculations of administration coalition exodus to the rival political camp.

		Guingona said he was never offered a position, including the Mindanao czar post, after he resigned during a heart-to-heart talk with the President in Davao City last week.

		In the opinion of former Vice President Teofisto Guingona, Jr., there should not even be any talk of Charter change at this time, and instead focus must be placed on “domestic development.” He says Charter change may only be talked about after the truth on the legitimacy of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been unearthed.
		Guingona made this observation in an interview he gave to reporters during the Independence Day inter-faith prayer rally in Manila.
		Guingona also said both the so-called “people’s initiative” and the constituent assembly are bound to encounter formidable obstacles.

	Philippines Today
		TEOFISTO GUINGONA, an appointed Vice President and Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), is a pathetic figure in the administration of President Gloria Arroyo.
		Worse still is his mistaken belief in himself, which obviously has gotten hold of his amorphous mind, holding on to two exalted positions in government --- what in the words of President Arroyo, could have been her worse political mistakes committed so far in her administration.
		Thus, if Guingona’s senate vote in 1991 against the extension of the RP-US military agreement was indeed patriotic, it was also decidedly, and most importantly, based on America’s realistic assessment of her changing security/military position in this part of the world.
