Considering the very negative mood earlier, the neutrality of two key players blew new life into the besieged presidency.. Still, the political crisis is far from settled. There is a general feeling that the country has entered a period of a drawn out political stalemate. While the supporters of the president maintain Mrs. Arroyo will never resign, her opponents claim she has lost the moral and the political authority to govern.
