AMONG the members of Arroyo’s Cabinet Raul Gonzales Sr. stands out as the most hated, reviled and made fun of, head of a national department in the Republic of the Philippines.
It is to her credit that Arroyo keeps Gonzalez because he is an asset to her administration as he is a very loyal lapdog, notwithstanding his antics. Arroyo lets him loose once in a while so he could intimidate the opposition, and deliver not-so-subtle warnings to anyone who opposes Arroyo. She could keep him at arm’s length, or say that he acted on his own. What Raul Gonzalez Sr. is doing to the office he is occupying now is to smear it with the blood of the innocent citizens of the republic; he is also prostituting the justice system for his own ends, and bringing ridicule to the most venerable and respectable department of the country, while members of the national bar listen to him play his harp.

Naah he is just back to his usual disgusting self
But seriously, this individual is once more wallowing in his own mud after being granted a second chance in life. Reminds me of another influential person immediately getting involved in corrupt activities after he too got a second chance in life.

Mr. Gonzales will surely be gone in 2010, along with his master (unless she declares martial law or cause her P500k paper bagged minions in congress to amend the constitution while we are all asleep, for her to stay in power longer in order for her and her whole family to avoid prosecution for all their thievery).
When he’s gone, he will leave a legacy of shame, a comedy of errors, fallacies and half truths, a cabinet member who clung to his post despite the fact that his appointment was never confirmed by his peers in the Senate. Our children and our children’s children will read about him in history books as a shallow, arrogant, obnoxious, full of himself official, who used to be a brilliant member of the opposition, until he got a taste of the power drug. Shame..shame..shame.

nah metinks he’s just using the Manero release to take away the heat over Jalosjos fiasco. Just another case of spin doctor’s trick. The air is so full of that for years now. That’s GMA for you.
