The claim of Lauro Vizconde that Chief Justice Rene Corona was the one who had tipped him off about efforts to railroad the acquittal by the Supreme Court of Hubert Webb and company is VERY, VERY DOUBTFUL.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a 1. And for the record, I’m not working for Corona or the Supreme Court.
Consider the following, guys:
Corona is NOT STUPID to categorically reveal something as sensitive as that to Vizconde, and purportedly in the presence of another person, WITHOUT presenting proof.
Corona will not risk incurring PUBLIC OUTRAGE and SCRUTINY with a declaration he cannot prove, even if he indeed had his own suspicions.
If Vizconde’s allegation is true, Corona is SMART ENOUGH to realize that he would be a hero and a national icon of justice if he would stop the purported railroading of the freedom of Webb and his gang.
Corona is already the BOSS, the CHIEF JUSTICE.
Why would he still go for anything that may destabilize his position, or place him on the proverbial ‘hot seat?’ Especially if it WON’T GET HIM ANYWHERE?
For those who will say that Corona may have had an axe to grind, the more realistic move for him would have been to get back at the alleged brains of the railroading, Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, in the Supreme Court itself, as the boss to a subordinate.
Instead of something that will cast a cloud of suspicion over his reputation.
And most of all, Vizconde COULD NOT BE 100 percent sure that Corona had categorically revealed the railroading to him.
In today’s issue of the Inquirer, Vizconde was quoted as saying that Corona “to the best of my recollection, said the following words: Talagang binabraso at iniimpluwensyahan ni Carpio ang kanyang mga kasama para mapawalang-sala si Webb, or words to that effect.”
We all understand what “words to that effect mean, don’t we?”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m for the truth in the massacre of Vizconde’s wife and two daughters.
But unless there is SOLID EVIDENCE, Vizconde does not have the right to make sweeping accusations that can damage or destroy an individual’s reputation anytime he wants.
WITH ONLY HIS WORDS as proof.

ReplyDeletePerhaps, the cayote in Lauro Vizconde, tells him that all of us are so naive and would believe just anything he says. By that alone, he is insulting our capacity to think with logic. First, I am morally convinced that neither CJ Corona nor AJ Carpio or any among our current crop of magistrates, would, for a split second, ever desire to see our justice system crumble to ruins - not even the Shariah courts - for without it would mean never-ending chaos to all of us and; Second, only men who are either filled with anger and contempt and the mob are prone to irrationality or intentional insanity. I chose not to waste my time listening to people in the mold of Lauro Vizconde. I sympathize with him on the fate that had befallen his family, but anyone who can stand him may please tell him that he stands to see more people helping him if he can at least, just keep his obnoxious mouth shut. to me, Vizconde is just another charlatan, who enjoys every second of being in the lime light.
ReplyDeleteBoyet, your slips are showing. Your premises appears to be shaky, especially if you take into consideration Corona's background.
ReplyDeleteI don't easily believe Visconde either. To me he should have planted a small seed of Faith in his heart, take a look at the Christian virtue of forgiving and just let the wheel of justice take its course.
There are things in our lives that happen not to our liking but we could not let these things stop us from going on with life. We have to move on, whether we like it or not. Only those who have no Faith commit suicide or let the past drag them to the rut.
As tukayo Navarro once told me, We have to keep on punching. Life in this world is futile, just like chasing the winds, as the Bible says, but then we have to live it, even if we don't understand why are born in this world. There's no other recourse, unless we decide to end our lives.
But we could not also be callous with Vizconde's predicament and feeling, although, personally I believe that he should leave the past behind and do some other worthy causes like helping the needy with the remaining years in his life. Wallowing in his grief will not do him any good.
I can understand where Mr. Vizconde is coming from. However, I think it will be better for him to move on and allow GOD's hand to completely heal him. Time is running out and life is short considering his age. Let the remaining years of his life be peaceful and allow himself to experience a new life. This is just my personal opinion.
