Itong si Dennis talaga oo…Ano ba pinagsasabi mo….siyempre kailangan ng gobiyerno magpre caution. Ano ba gusto niyo, wala silang mga ginawang preparation sa possible na gulong mangyayari?? Tanga lang siguro ang hindi mag pre prepare.
He gave the Philippines a good reputation? Huh, alam mo ba pinagsasabi mo. Nakalimutan mo na ba yung pinaalis niya na cabinet member nito na nagsabing magdamag nag iinuman sina Erap at ang kanyang “Midnight Cabinet”. How about gambling, having too many mistresses, etc. Good reputation ba yun for the Philippines. Saan ka ba planeta nanggaling bro?

Guilty verdict is just the beginning. Other big personalities should be next like Bolante,Garci,Gen.Garcia,etc. etc. Chavit, Dechavez, Atong Ang should also be included in case as they are the one who collected the money.

Erap should ask pardon for what he has done, i think the Filipino people will forgive him.
