[PANFILO] LACSON wants to head the Senate blue-ribbon committee.
“I want to advance my advocacy of accountability among public officials. If only for it, I want to chair the blue-ribbon committee. But I won’t beg for it nor exchange my vote to get that committee,” he said, referring to his vote for Senate president.
Since majority of the Senate is now GO [Genuine Opposition] and they are serious about their anti-corruption drive and putting corrupt public officials in jail, will they prosecute Erap? Or will they go only for administration candidates and their allies?

I say we should pry the layers of secrecy from our government. Thats the only way to clean up government. Lacson is not exemplary in transparency. We have to remind him that the walls have eyes and ears. They cannot hide from the people.

Answer to the Question? Most likely NO.
Now Erap, Case, well lets just for the verdict to come up, I believe folks are just waiting for it, Now before I go any further I want to say I don’t have a dog in this fight, Now if you ask my personal opinion, I believe in the eyes of many, simple Majority Erap has been vindicated as a result of Senatorial Election of which His Team GO pretty much demolished the TU bet of Recto, Zubiri, Pichay, Defensor, Agaist, Cayetano, Escudero, Trillianes, Koko Pimentel, I’m not counting Aquino, Legarda, Lacson, Villar because they have thier own followers, and Specially Noynoy Aquino, Her Mother of course still have the respect of many Pilipinos,Now for Angara and Arroyo, They are too a season politician, witty politician, and Being a Team Unity did nor hurt them as much, Well in Recto case, I guess when you go agaist the grain and comeback it will hurt you. Thats why Kiko Pangilinan end up in Magic 12, well many said there is a Mega factor, I personnaly don’t think so, I think more of Drillon factor, as well as Noynoy Aquino Liberal Party should get credits. Now lets go back to Erap, As I said all along majority of Pilipinos see Erap as still thier somewhat Liberator or Champion of the poor, Look folks, Jingoy in the Senate, JV still mayor of San Juan and could have been a elected as Senator, if only Erap did not ask His Son to defer or backoff He would have made it in Magic 12, based on his standing in the POLL Survey, Now the only thing left to do is watch the Court decission as far as the Public goes Erap is not guilty by Majority if we follow the results of Senatorial Election, Look most of the folks He endorse won, Like Senator Mayor Elect LIm of Manila, Pee Wee of Pasay, JV of San Juan, Mayor Binay of Makati, Now LIM, Binay, Pee Wee are all very educated and got elected all did call for Erap release, that to include outgoing Mayor Atienza, so many Prominent personality are asking for HIs release from detention or simply send him home for House Arrest so he can be with His Ailing Mother of more 100 yrs old, Now folks lets face it How many of would have a chance with more than a 100 yrs old Mother, Both my parents and Older Brother have seen passed away, and I’m only 52 yrs old, as the younger of seven sibling, yes my Sister and Brother died when they were young age. Now Answer that for a change, again I don’t have a Dog in this fight, But Erap should be place on House arrest to be with His Ailing Mother of more 100 yrs Old… Give the man His Freedom and Respect, Because I do…. Yes He is my Idol….But I’m willing to accept the verdict as long as it is fair…..Have great Day,,, It will be nice to Free Erap for our coming Independence Day… that would be great… set Aside Politics Just Simply Free Erap..
I’m sure He was not lying when He said He was offered a Chance to move to another Country.. and He flatly rejected the Idea…. H should be admired not Jailed….
Good Day
any error grammar or misspelled juast Pardon me.. Remember Erap din ako….

They’re not going to free Erap, Just because of his 100 years old mother. Erap should not be in jail to begin with. If these judges doing their job they suppose too Erap already free. But, These corrupt judges are only toeying the line order from Malacanyang Palace. If this is not a corrupt justice system I don’t know what is.
Its time to overhaul the entire corrupt justice system. Its time to overhaul the entire government office’s. This is not the type of people we need setting in government office’s. We need somebody who respect the rule of law;.

To Chatter:
Erap was given and still being given the chance to prove himself in Sandiganbayan. His lawyers are the culprits, and hence himself, for the long delay of his verdict. Of course, he can afford to delay since he stays in a resthouse (take note, a vacation house) which the government (and hence Filipinos) pays the amenities so he can afford 24 hours aircon and lights. This is a rich man charged with plunder and economic sabotage. While a poor Filipino, charged only of snatching is staying in a prison not even 10 persons can accommodate, less food and endangering himself of tuberculosis. Where is justice in that?
And well I can see that you are one of the fanatics. Don’t play blind. The whole country saw the impeachment trial and how the real GDP dived during his times (thanks for the manipulation of his “economic advisers� like Zamora), how the stock prices were manipulated, how the jueteng flourished, Velarde account, Muslim foundation brouhaha etc. And I can’t simply believe that they were committed only during his 3-year tenure. The foundation started when he was still Mayor of San Juan, then as a Senator, and Vice President. There were crimes committed actually even during his term as head of PACC unknown to the public. Speaking of justice, he actually deserves less of what he is enjoying right now.
I advise that you may need to revise your mind and review the flow of your thoughts which doesn’t seem to connect with what your real position is.
