let’s talk about politics II

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

(guys..this must be really late..i forgot to post this..well, better late than never aiyt!? hehehe..)

here’s a continuation of my political sentiments..hehehe..

i stated in the first part that, i partly agreed with Erap’s loyalist that, the government has focused their attention to only one person, to only one family..why? because, among the good actors who graced the news for six years, it’s only Erap who got the award of "guilty." hmmm.. "best in plunder?" how about the others? i’m waiting for such developments for their career..as a political culprit too?

then, here comes the new ZTE broadband scandal..a younger JDV pointing at FG Arroyo again! and Comelec Commissioner again as two people who in a way conspired to ask him to let go of his company’s plan to have the controversial broadband deal..as expected, denials were all around..denial kings conquered the scenario!

all angles are being investigated by the Senate "in aide of legislation." oh common!’ hehehe! we’ve been into this kind of scandals before..and, the ending is always the same..it’s either the investigating officials shut their mouth or even eat their hearts out in order to come up with a valid result and play innocent about it..even if we say that it’s really beyond the obvious, we cannot do anything..who are we to meddle in whatever results their investigation may have..we are just private citizens manipulated to say "yes!" hey, wait..citizens like "transformers." nice movie ‘though.

for the past 7 years, i was able to get my share of do’s and dont’s in politics..fortunate enough to see the picture of clean and dirty politics..hehehe! hmm..a blurry picture if i may say..so if i ask myself now, i think i know how politics run..you win, you lose..you win, you win again..you lose, you lose again..same fate my pals! the ones in power are always in power and the unfortunate stays unfortunate…paupers stay as paupers..too bad!

i was not into watching news reports for the past days so, i don’t know where this "ZTE broadband deal" ends..has it ended? or, will it end?

bye…

let’s talk about politics..

let’s talk about politics..hehehe! this is just an opinion of your’s truly..hehehehe..i have things to say about "Erap’s" fate..and, i found this blog as an escape for it..

"it’s a very good verdict..that’s a good signal to everybody in public office that the sandiganbayan and the ombudsman are not joking..they are ready to prosecute plunder cases, corruption and sandiganbayan’s ready to decide against a culprit public official..this a is good warning.."

this is a statement from one of Malacanang’s top official..i read this from a national broadsheet, the next morning after the "guilty" decision against the former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada re the plunder case talked about in every page of a newspaper and every news report on TV for six years..the first thing that came in my mind after reading it, was this famous line, "look who’s talking." i don’t know if i’m a pro-Erap and anti-admin gal..or, the other way around..all i know is that, the said statement strucked me…it blew up my head! who are they to condemn their co-law offenders? hey! be realistic! who is he talking to when he mentioned about the culprit officials? it was like listening to an angel or a devil clad in a nice suit..

for six years, not only "Erap" graced the headlines but also the names like Mr. Agriculture "Joc-joc Bolante," "Hello Garci," and "FG Arroyo" et al..all stories cited alledged irregularities, anomalies who accordingly was done by these names..thanks to their "fate" they’re still free as a bird..every now and then, these issues come out in the open but at the end of the day it still manages to die down..the "Erap" case? it’s the other way around..it never slowed down..it was always on the rush! beating the time. leading over other issues..hehehehe!

one of the lawyers of the former president was also quoted saying "they only focused their eyes to one person and to one family.." listening to it, i partly agreed..

to be continued…
