Nagpapatawa naman itong si “Madame Wetness” Presidential Legal Counsel Sergio Apostol.
Sinabi ni Apostol na maari raw mapalaya si Sen. Antonio Trillanes at hindi masyadong maparusahan kung siya ay maghingi ng tawad kay Gloria Arroyo.
Ito talagang si Madame Wetness, mahilig magpapatawa.
Malacañang knows there’s no way they can prevent Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV from assuming his seat in the Senate. They want to save face by asking Trillanes to apologize to the bogus president. I can’t wait to hear Trillanes’ answer.
Trillanes may get off with slap on the wrist
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV might end up with just a slap on the wrist for leading hundreds of soldiers in the 2003 Oakwood mutiny — if he agrees to plead guilty to the charges and apologize to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Last Wednesday, we ran the first part of the letter of then Lt. S/G Antonio Trillanes IV
Philippine Navy dated Aug. 8, 2003 in answer to the lies being spread by the Arroyo administration about him.
A lot of things happened in the past four years. Trillanes is now a senator although Malacañang is trying to prevent him from performing his duties to the Filipino people.
Of late, the same lies have resurfaced. Following is the other half of the letter:
El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde and Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal have been informed that the Sandiganbayan has found former president Joseph Estrada guilty of the crime of plunder, DZMM reported Thursday.
In a report by DZMM correspondent Anthony Taberna, no less than President Arroyo talked to Velarde and Vidal about the anti-graft court’s verdict on Estrada’s plunder case.
According to DZMM sources, Mrs. Arroyo talked to Velarde before the May 14 elections and told him that she wanted the Estrada trial to end in a conviction.
Ang panalo ng pito (walo kung hindi magtatagumpay ang operasyon ng Comelec laban kay Koko Pimentel) na kandidato ng Genuine Opposition para Senado ay mataginting na protesta laban kay Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga kampon.
Ang gusto ng taumbayan ay ang Senado na naninindigan laban sa pagyurak ni Arroyo ng Saligang batas at mga institusyon ng bayan. Ayaw ng taumbayan na patuloy na paghari-harian ng mga kampon ni Arroyo.
Dahil may pito o walong bagong oposisyon sa Senado, akala natin maitutulak na ng mataas na kapulungan ang mga imbestigasyion tungkol sa pang-aabuso ni Arroyo at ng kanyang pamilya na hinarang o inupuuan noon ng kanyang mga alagad katulad ni Joker Arroyo.
During the campaign for last May’s election, the slimy guns of Malacañang were aimed at Alan Peter Cayetano, who was rating high in pre-election surveys largely because Mike Arroyo tried to have him expelled from the House of Representatives after he told the Filipino people about a multimillion-dollar stash in a German bank.
Malacañang ignored Antonio Trillanes IV because they all thought he was not going to win anyway. After all, until a week before election, surveys showed him down in the list.
To everybody’s relief, Cayetano won, despite Joselito Cayetano. To everybody’s surprise, Trillanes also won.
From ABS-CBN online:
A former justice secretary on Tuesday said the government prosecutors should not have used as example the case of former Rep. Romeo Jalosjos in blocking Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s request to fully perform his duties as an elected member of the Senate.
“Alam po ninyo iyong kaso ni Trillanes at iyong isang congressman ay mayroon pong pagkakaiba,” said Serafin Cuevas, also a former Supreme Court associate justice.
He said Jalosjos has been convicted of rape charges while Trillanes remains an accused and all the evidence against him have yet to be presented before the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC).

Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV cannot use the more than 11 million votes he received in the May elections to seek preferential treatment, like attending Senate sessions and setting up an office in his detention cell, Department of Justice prosecutors said Monday.
The prosecutors said they represented not only those who voted for Trillanes but also the more than 85 million Filipinos.
Napakalakas na ng sampal ng sambayanan kay Gloria Arroyo noong nakaraang eleksyon ngunit mukhang hindi pa rin niya nakikita ang mensahe ng taumbayan.
Ayaw sa kanyang ng taumbayan ngunit ang kanyang solusyon ay cabinet revamp.
Hindi niya nakukuha o siguro nagbingi-bingihan lamang na siya ang ayaw ng taumbayan.

On June 26, 2006, at two in the morning a little more than a year ago, Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño were abducted from a farmer’s home in San Miguel, Hagonoy, Bulacan. Armed men bundled the women into a stainless steel jeep with plate number RTF 597. A farmer named Manuel Merino, who had run out in response to the women’s cries, was also bound and blindfolded. The three were driven away towards the direction of Iba, Hagonoy, Bulacan.
When the abduction was reported, human rights volunteers, led by Mildred Benitez, went to the 56th Infantry Battalion headquarters at Iba. A stainless steel jeep with plate number RTF was found parked inside the compound.
The military denies its existence.
