Erap’s Freedom, PGMA’s Downfall?!

I saw Talkback’s replay today at ANC and boy was I super glad to see Atty. Adel Tamano looking cutesy as ever. But seeing him on t.v. meant only two things: (1) that he had to speak in behalf of the opposition, UNO, and (2) that he was being interviewed for his supposed cameo appearance for one of Jinggoy’s upcoming movies. Even though it sickens me to sit and listen to him cover for Erap and his sudden change of heart to accept the queen’s forgiveness, I just couldn’t grab the remote and change channels when my dad was right there sitting beside me.

The program’s topic was phrased as “WILL ERAP’S PARDON BE GMA’S DOWNFALL?” or something to that effect. I wanted to laugh and text a reply to the show, but remembering as it was a replay, I had to restrain myself in my seat and tolerate whatever crap I had to hear from the opposition guys, Sen. Pimentel and Atty. Tamano.

Of course, as I’ve pointed out in an earlier post, Erap’s pardon is no laughing matter because it violates almost all known logic that moves the judicial system of this country, not to mention the moral discretions and infinite mercy and tolerance that our politicians have for ‘popular and powerful’ criminals such as Erap. Up until today, I still couldn’t believe that after almost 6 1/2 years of trial to put Erap behind bars for plunder and especially after the guilty verdict by the court, the main oppositional character begged for a pardon from someone he and his team doesn’t even recognize as a legitimate president. And after all the catfights and the propaganda the opposition put out against PGMA, all of it was wasted for self-preservation.
