6. Another Stone for the Orifice
Demagoguery was a very new word for me, but what struck me more about it is that it was one of the first highfalutin word Arroyo used during her interview with GMA 7’s Arnold Clavio. It was also the first time we saw Arroyo without her neck brace, which revealed her scar from the previous operation.
A demagogue is a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power and admiration.
Arroyo claims that Aquino is using demagoguery to “linlangin” or deceive people and turn them away from his failures in alleviating the country out of the more important issues of poverty, unemployment, among others.
What a fancy word. It makes me wonder this time what would be a suitable word to describe what Arroyo’s camp is doing just to avoid being confined in an ordinary jail cell just like all the other detainees out there….and keeps on injecting their “house arrest” proposal instead. Who are they to make demands, and complain vigorously if they are denied?
