It is said that the Lakas are natural dancers because when they walk from hut to hut or village to village they must spin, shuffle, and slide over treacherous, cliff-hugging paths and the knife-sharp rocks that stipple their jagged island.
So rarely do the Lakas encounter flat earth that when they do their knees bow and their feet roll over onto their ankles and their torsos sway and totter until they finally collapse to the dirt and struggle for hours to regain their feet, like turtles flipped on their backs.
This is how the Lakas give shape to their lives and why, for them, every life event is experienced not just for its own sake but also for the sake of its effect on their dance.
Lakas put up the second P500 million, thanks to the scandalously huge payoffs that the group of former President Ramos, had pocketed from the Amari land deal and the Centennial Expo scam.
"It is a win-win situation for Lakas actually" said one source, noting that these stalwarts of the former administrations are betting that the destabilization ploy would lead to the ouster or resignation of President Estrada or, at the very least, position the opposition better in next year's midterm polls.
"With their expected election of most Lakas candidates for congressional seats in the 2001 polls, they believe that there would be a better chance for an impeach-Erap move to succeed in the second half of the Estrada presidency, " the source said.
