i'm back

Hi, guys, I'm back. Join me as I look again at the issues behind the headlines. Once more, allow me to enlighten you on what the truth really is.

The stomach of Noynoy Aquino and his boys to continuously attack the Supreme Court (SC) is nothing short of AMAZING, and DESPICABLE.

From being an Arroyo court, Noynoy now laments, like a grade one kid deprived of his milk, that the SC is singling him out.

This despite the following FACTS, or TRUTHS:

The SC also turned down SEVERAL, not just one but several, legal moves of the Arroyo Administration. Anybody can check this in the records of the court.

With this alone, how can Noynoy still have the NERVE to say that the SC is singling him out?

The SC gave all interested parties all the time and opportunity to argue their case for or against the Commission..

It’s not the justice’s fault if Noynoy’s boys DID NOT HAVE THE COMPETENCE to prepare a LEGALLY CONVINCING order and argument for the ratification of the Commission.

From the start, Noynoy CATEGORICALLY declared that the Commission was SOLELY for going after the Arroyo Administration, the main ground cited by the SC in deciding that it violates the equal protection clause of the law and is thus unconstitutional.

Only much later did Aquino’s boys add that the Commission can also go after previous administrations.

Four of the five dissenters for the nullification of the Commission are also appointees of the former president.

And like any other court, the SC decides on what is presented before it, NOT HOW THE PRESIDENT of the country wants it I’m not a lawyer but I dare anybody to show me any law that says courts must rule based on the President’s wishes or on public sentiment, perceived or otherwise.

If I see one, I will readily run it. If not, I appeal to everyone not to join NOYNOY and his tribe in their continued BASELESS DISRESPECT of and ARROGANCE toward the SC.

Unless you can prove that in doing so, we won’t be FURTHER DIVIDED as a people, as a nation.

Lauro Vizconde and Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) chief Persida Rueda-Acosta can do one very simple thing to solidify their petition for the reversal of the Supreme Court decision acquitting Hubert Webb and company of the massacre of his family.

PRESENT PROOF, IN PUBLIC, of what they describe as questionable documentary evidence of Hubert being in the US at the time of the crime.

Vizconde and Acosta claim that Hubert’s airline ticket and passport were inadmissible as evidence because these were only photocopies and the originals were never presented, as required under the rules.

There should be no problem for the airline company and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to CONFIRM the authenticity or forgery of these documents.

Acosta also said the passport appeared tampered due to some soiled pages, non-alignment of the perforated passport number, Webb’s different signatures and collarless shirt in the photo which is prohibited by the DFA.

Surely, the DFA would not find it difficult to explain this.

The BOTTOM LINE should be EVIDENCE, INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE. The raging media war between all parties involved in the case WILL NOT do any good to anybody. The only winners will be those STARVING FOR PUBLICITY

Consider this, Mang Lauro: NOTHING is proven by WORDS ALONE.

I see four possible reasons for the continued refusal of Sen. Ping Lacson to surrender and face murder charges over the Dacer-Corbito killings.

First—he is indeed GUILTY and just could not stand going to jail.

Second -- he is simply DICTATORSHIP and ARROGANCE personified that for him, justice is HOW HE WANTS IT and not how the LAW says it should be. His mental stability should also be checked by now.

Third – He is innocent but afraid that MUCH MORE SERIOUS secrets of his might be uncovered in the course of a probe or a court trial.

Fourth – His life, and probably even those of his family, would be in danger if he comes out and is questioned on the Dacer-Corbito murders, regardless of what he says.

A Philippine Military Academy graduate and a senator, Lacson is smart enough to realize that he CANNOT DICTATE the rules of the justice system.

He definitely knows that his being a senator does not exempt him from the charges he is facing. And that once he proves his innocence in court, he can file counter-charges against those who besmirched his honor.

But still, it’s either his terms and conditions or he doesn’t come out. What could be Lacson’s HEAVIER THAN THE WORLD reason for this continued WANTON DISREGARD of the law and DICTATORIAL CONDUCT?

I won’t speculate, for now, on what’s actually running in Lacson’s mind. Just take note guys, he’s the only key personality in hiding because of the crime.

Former President Erap Estrada, who had been once linked as the brains behind the slays, and ex-Lacson man Cesar Mancao are out in the open.
