Guilty or Not Guilty?
September 11, 2007Isa akong taong walang kadala-dala. Kahit na tumataas ang blood pressure ko tuwing magbabasa ng diyaryo — basa pa rin ako ng basa. As most pinoys know – bukas (Wednesday) na ibaba ng Sandigang bayan ang verdict sa Joseph Estrada plunder case. Hot topic tuloy ito sa dyaryo ngayon. De-demahin ko na sana … kaso di ko lang talaga mapigilan mag-comment. Below are some excerpts from an article in the Philippine Star today.
“We are prepared for whatever verdict the Sandiganbayan will come out with. But we are expecting the worst, because according to some reliable sources we have talked to and who have given us vital information, there is no way that my father can get an acquittal even though there is no evidence against him,” – Jinggoy Estrada
— No evidence? Hmm…. As in no evidence? Sigurado ka? Hanga rin ako minsan sa kapal ng mukha ng mga pulitikonatin — kaya talaga nilang tumingin sa ating mga mata at magsinungaling without any effort at all! Tsk..tsk…sabagay… practice makes perfect!
“If people believe in one witness whose credibility is questionable, he should have won in the last elections. It came from a polluted source,” – Jinggoy Estrada
— A eh.. sir… hindi po porke’t di nanalo sa election ay di na kapani-paniwala. Tulad ni Cesar Montano. Naniniwala akong lab nya si Sunshine – pero hindi ako naniniwala na pwede syang Senador. Gets? Polluted source? Bakit? San ba galing yung source? Sa Pasig river? Ay… polluted nga! ☺
“So we have very clear paths, whether it will be conviction or acquittal. In both cases, there will be no destabilization attempts, no violence. If they go to the streets, then that is their constitutional right. But Erap said it should be peaceful,” – Rodriguez
– Asus…di ko alam kung sino sya… pero… constitutional rights ka dyan… minsan iniisip ko ano kaya akala ng mga ito sa ating mga Pilipino.. Eng-eng? Sabagay…in fairness… nanalo si Jinggoy-just-add-panget and Loi. Baka nga.
“Also, if the former president would not be found guilty, why is the government on red alert and so busy preparing for security for the promulgation?” - Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz
– Father… meron pong tinatawag na “preparation”. Paano kung hindi sila maghanda – tapos nagkagulo. Sasabihin nyo naman hindi sila prepared. Minsan… hirap nyo iplease. Ewan.
But Bacani, who served as spiritual adviser of Estrada during his three-year presidency, said he believes the former president is innocent.
– Hindi ito quote… pero minsan iniisip ko… maniniwala pa kaya ako kung ang magpayo sa akin ay si Bishop Bacani pagkatapos nyang sabihin ito? Sabagay….. innocent until proven guilty. Mahirap mag-judge. Hindi naman book si Erap e.
“We will comment accordingly,” declared Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo
– O… bakit ngayon mag accordingly-accordingly kayo nalalaman. Dati – walang hataw kayo kako-comment! Hmm… bakit kaya? Abangan!
“Let’s wait for the ruling,” said his colleague Rep. Teddy Casiño – Akbayan
– O.. bakit ngayon wait-wait for the ruling. Dati wala kayong sinigaw kung hindi “Resign! Resign! Impeach! Impeach!”…. asus….. nagagawa nga naman ng posisyon…..
“In the end, whatever the court decides, we believe that President Estrada must be accorded the respect and dignity of a former head of state, voted by our people to the highest seat of the land,” – Senator Francis Pangilinan
— Kay Kiko tayo! Hehehe… Alam nyo.. kahit na minsan gusto kong itali si Erap sa puno, paliguan ng honey at tambakan ng fire ants…. Iniisip ko pa rin na naging Presidente natin sya. Kailangan talaga bigyan pa rin sya ng respect as a former President. Hay…. it’s the right thing to do. Yun nga lang.. pag nakikita ko na sina Just-add-panget at kung ano-ano sinasabi – tumataas ang blood pressure ko. Hay.
Anyway – yan.. medyo kalmado na ako… nailabas ko na ang inis ko e. Hmp. Buti na lang may blog! Bilang pagtatapos – nangako ako na babatiin ko ang bago kong mga fans… sina Rhemand at Rose Carpio. Ayan… 3 na fans ko.
