[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?

Tama ka Danilo. Pero may dahilan kung bakit ganoon. Alam ni GMA na namimiligro siya sa kapangyarihan ng tao na mismong lumuklok sa kanya sa Malacanang. Diyan magaling si GMA. Alam niya kung kailan na malapit bumigay ang tao. Tulad ng kay Binay. Si Trinidad eh kinaya niya pero natakot siya kay Binay. Tulad ng Cha-Cha. Yung kay Trillanes. Tulad ng gamit niya sa Militar at pulis. Kung baga sa hinete, magaling si GMA humila ng renda ng kapangyarihan.
And bakasyon ni Erap ay para kay GMA. Alam niya na kaya siyang pataubin ng hatak ni Erap pag nagkamali siya. Hindi niya binibigyan si Erap ng pagkakataon para dito.
Lacson? Erap? Parang GMA at Defensor yan.
Ang katotohanan ay magaling si GMA rumenda sa atin lahat. Sa Hustisya, Senado, Kongreso, Pulis, Militar, Oposisyon, Dayuhan, at mamamayan. Sana lang yung galing niya ay lagyan niya ng makatotohanan at maka Diyos na pakay. Puro kasi pagnanakaw sa gubyerno niya. Hindi ko naman sinasabi na presidente siya ng mga magnanakaw.

We can never move on until questions about GMA’s legitimacy as well as Erap’s plunder trial will be answered and hopefully put to justice. This is the same reason why the political bickering has morphed at the extent that we are seeing today.
The fact that we are giving different opinions means we need an answer on these pending questions. I hope that the newly elected GO senators will answer this as well. What is legislation when these laws will still be bent and render exceptions for those who are powerful?
I am hoping that they will resolve these questions through the legal process and not for media mileage.

Itong gawin natin ha? Work for quiet, not peace. Peace is impossible kasi sobrang lalim na mga hidwaan. Also, lahat naman ng politicians natin imperfect, lahat pinagdududahan na nagnakaw o nagkickback o nagterrorize. O, kaya mo bang iprosecute sila o baguhin ang sistema? Realistically hindi? Ganito na lang, let’s all work toward and support a government that can create quiet and stability (similar or better than the quiet we had during FVR). Stability leads to great economic success. Given stability, it is the Philippines’ time to shine, kasi ang mundo ngayon pinakahit and outsourcing, at tayo’y hari ng outsourcing! When we become rich, we become more educated, more sophisticated, and more knowledgeable of abstract concepts like democracy, equality, transparency and accountability. This is when we change the system, when the greater majority are middle class and intelligent. Ngayon, the majority are poor and dumb and afraid, so no matter what you do it will only get ruined kasi the masa will elect into office artista/drama types who will just entertain them out of their hunger and boredom. I don’t care if Ping will prosecute Estrada, Ping can release Estrada for all I care, so long as he does all that’s necessary to shut noisy people up. With quiet and stability, we will get rich. We will be able to better educate the next generation. It is the next generation who will take care of ending trapo/soap/artista politics in our country. Singapore was very restrictive when its people were still poor, stupid and undisciplined. They just loosened up, now even took casinos out of a decades-long ban, when its people became rich, intelligent and mentally ready for a modern society ruled by equitable laws.

Why not start with the sitting president first… then move to others… we must get rid of the top first then proceed with others…

This I really want to see. I want to find out if he and the majority senators are really serious in getting rid of corruption in public service per se or they are simply after those people who have opposing views and interests. He should be resolute, fair and objective in exposing anomalies commited by friends and foes alike. Otherwise, everything would be in vain and unjust. Let the axe fall where it should be. Kapag corrupt ang hustisya di dapat kukurap…
