In the grand political carousel, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s ride has been nothing short of a dizzying spectacle. From the infamous “Hello, Garci” scandal, where a phone call revealed a political dance so intricate it would make Fred Astaire blush, to her resilient return as House Speaker, Arroyo proved that in politics, scandals are just spicy pit stops on the road to redemption. 

But alas, her latest stint as Deputy Speaker has ended abruptly, leaving us with the sequel nobody saw coming: “Goodbye, Garci!” It seems even political comebacks have a shelf life, and Arroyo’s latest spin on the carousel has left us wondering if there’s a ‘No Reentry’ policy in this carnival of power.
