Apakah jejak suksesi presiden Mega di Indonesia akan mengikuti jejak suksesi
presiden Corazon Aquino di Philippina yaitu sama sama digantikan oleh ex militer
yang telah jadi sipil dan melalui pemilu?
Dari sisi latar belakang jadi presiden bagi Mega dan Corazon mirip benar adalah
karena sama2 disebabkan nama besar dari Sukarno dan Aquino yang ditindas.
Membaca sekilas riwayat Fidel Ramos yang menggantikan Corazon,maka pada masa
Marcos dia termasuk elit militer yang cukup lama dipakai pemerintahan
Marcos.Dalam pencalonannya dalam pemilu presiden,lawan2 politiknya juga
mengangkat latarbelakangnya yang militer,yang dekat dengan Marcos,bahaya
pemberlakuan kembali 'martial law' gaya Marcos.
Dalam masa pemerintahan Ramos sepertinya tidak terdengar dia memimpin dengan
cara diktatorian/militerism seperti bosnya Marcos,tidak melindungi keluarga
Marcos,malah dieranya sebagian hasil jarahan Marcos dapat dikembalikan.
Apakah ini karena konstitusi dan sistem pemerintahan Philippina yang tidak
memungkinkannya lagi sebebas Marcos atau Ramosnya yang sudah pro demokrasi atau
juga karena tidak ada gunanya bagi dia neko2 karena kesempatan jadi presiden di
Philippina hanya sekali saja menurut konstitusi Philippina yang baru?Apakah
konstitusi Indo. perlu dirobah agar hanya sekali saja boleh jadi Presiden ?
Kalau suksesi presiden Indonesia yang terjadi nanti benar seperti di Philippina
maka diharapkan bahwa SBY akan seperti Fidel Ramos yang pro Demokrasi dalam
memerintah.

Current Biography, 1994; Newsmakers, 1995; Who's Who in the World, 1996
Lieutenant-General Fidel Ramos, president of the Philippines since 1992, is the
subject of controversy among his countrymen due to his contradictory past
loyalties. He has an apparent commitment to democracy, yet he had a longtime
association with the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. For 16 years,
Ramos headed the Philippine Constabulary -- the country's national police force
-- which was responsible for many human rights abuses during the Marcos regime.
He also served as vice-chief of the armed forces and was a trusted advisor to
Marcos. In fact, the two were cousins. But when the reformist "people power"
movement, led by Corazon Aquino, ousted the Marcos regime, Ramos loyally served
the Aquino administration.
After she assumed the presidency, Corazon Aquino appointed Gen. Ramos chief of
staff of the armed forces. Although some accused him of partisanship, supporters
say he was a loyal backer of Aquino, quelling seven coup attempts against the
Aquino government. In 1988 she appointed him secretary of defense. He served in
that post, but his presidential aspirations were widely recognized. In December
1991, with Corazon Aquino forbidden by law to succeed herself, Ramos declared
his candidacy. Aquino did not endorse her colleague and he did not receive the
party's nomination. He promptly formed his own independent political
organization, and only then did Aquino endorse his presidential bid. Ramos
campaigned vigorously among stockbrokers, executives and rural politicians.
Although critics reminded voters of Ramos' implementation of martial law under
Marcos, he won in a relatively peaceful election.
Ramos made his objectives political and economic stability -- the unification of
the country and revival of the Philippine economy. He met with a communist
insurgency movement and Islamic separatists and attempted to disband hundreds of
warlord groups engaged in smuggling and drug-running. He launched a reform of
the notoriously corrupt police force. To improve the economy he increased
production of electric power and encouraged international investment.
Most Philippinos have viewed Ramos' accession to the presidency with optimism,
and his public approval rating has remained high.
Ramos has long had close ties to the United States. He is a graduate of West
Point Military Academy, and later received an M.A. in engineering from the
University of Illinois. He also earned an M.B.A. degree. Ramos fought alongside
U.S. forces in the Korean War and later commanded a Philippine military
contingent in the Vietnam War.
