My column today, Don’t engage or dignify it , makes reference to these two documents, submitted by Atty. Adel Tamano to the Committee on Justice of the House of Representatives.
The first document is an Addendum/Supplement to the Pulido complaint, in an effort to fortify the case.
The second document is Tamano’s response to Rep. Matias Defensor’s rejecting the Addendum/Supplement:
Both make reference to the original impeachment complaint submitted by Atty. Pulido and endorsed by Rep. Edgar San Luis:
You can judge for yourself the merits (if any) of the Pulido complaint, the arguments of Tamano as to why they could do with some fortifying, and his counter-arguments when Rep. Matias Defensor rejected Tamano’s submissions.
Better for the complaint to be weak and gummy, than to allow it have teeth; the House dentists are against any legal dentures. But then, it may be that the absence of teeth is due to the Supreme Court, as the PCIJ reports here: Impeachment case brought to SC.

re adel tamano…someone said on tv that adel’s posturings and constant appearance on tv is a preparation for 2010 senatorial elections…agree 100%.
remember when cayetano and escudero where all over and foisted on us by abs-cbn esp., tried to impeach davide(of all people!) but failed. but look where they are now? senador na! yan ang “intelligent electorate”…popularity and money contest.
that’s why the impeachment complaint of tamano et al is “hilaw”, it is not sincere, it does not speak of real substance but personal interests, and that is 2010 sen. elections. its a numbers game you say, yes, but first the proponents should have a noble purpose. they are just like the sitting adm. politicos…in visayan “amo man gihapon!” tinuod!

Simple lang ito. Halimbawa ako ay dentist. At halimbawa na ako ay naging dentist dahil sa tulong ng isang mapagkawanggawa. Bigyan natin ng ngalan ang isang masasabing ‘good samaritan’ bilang pagpupugay sa isang marangal at kapuri-puring katangian. At para madaling maintindihan ang usapan. Halimbawa na ang pangalan ng tumulong sa akin para maging isang dentist ay si Ate Golo. Ito ngayon. May isang bungal na mama na lumapit sa akin, at sabi, “Doc, lagyan mo nga ako ng ngipin, kasi galit na galit ako kay Ate Golo. Gusto ko, Doc, matalim na matalim na ngipin ang ilagay mo sa akin dahil kakagatin ko si Ate Golo. Ito ngayon ang tanong ko kay MLQ3 at sa PCIJ. Lalagyan ko ba ng matalim na ngipin (o’ maski mapurol) ang bungal na mama?
