An urban poor alliance said President BS Aquino can regain pubic trust only if he renders a resignation from his office. This as Aquino addressed the public early this morning calling for public trust to lead the nation on his Easter Sunday message.
The Filipinos are forgiving but they are not forgetful," said Gloria Arellano, national chairperson of Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirhap (Kadamay) stressing that Aquino's resignation is a necessary step that Malacang has to take for the sake of delicadeza and accountability for his mistakes.
She also claimed that without the public trust, Aquino could not lead the country morally as his administration is battling against the most turbulent political crisis during his term.

Recently, Aquino's public trust plunged in the aftermath of Mamasapano fiasco and the presidents inconsistent remarks about the incident. The plunge is stiffer than what his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, suffered during her term as president.
Kadamay has been calling Aquino's ouster from office even two years from his office after Malacanang announced to the public its plan to 'blast' informal settlers from their colonies along Metro Manila waterways, and amid waves of violent eviction of urban poor from their communities to give way to his Public-Private Partnership projects.

"Nothing can salvage Aquino's popularity as long his programs at the grassroots level remain unpopular. The Filipino urban poor cannot bear another year of an impoverished condition and violent cases of eviction under the US-Aquino regime," said Arellano.
Kadamay in the coming days leading to Labor Day is planning to stage coordinated community protests, with a synchronized 'Protestang Bayan" in Metro Manila in the mid of April.
The group also has been calling for the establishment of a People's Council to assumed the leadership once Aquino relinquished his post.
"This people's council, with representation from sectors who will play a major role in Aquino's ouster, will immediately terminate every anti-poor program of the Aquino administration including the demolition of homes, privatization of pubic hospitals and contractualization of workers. It will also immediately address the widespread unemployment in the country and increase the minimum wage of workers," Arellano added.
