Kung guilty si Erap ng plunder, ano gagawin sa pinakamalaking magnanakaw na si Gloria Arroyo?
Maari bang makulong si Erap samantalang ang mas malaking magnanakaw, hindi lamang ng pera kungdi boto ng taumbayan ay nagpapasarap sa Malacañang?

THE United Opposition (UNO) yesterday said the guilty verdict handed down by the Sandiganbayan on former President Joseph was the last piece in the Arroyo administration’s “illegitimacy puzzle.”
“We knew that Erap was bound to be convicted regardless of the facts of the case, or else GMA’s ascension to the presidency in 2001 cannot be deemed anything else but illegal and contrary to proper procedure. Within that context, they had to find him guilty,” said Makati Mayor and UNO president Jejomar Binay.
He said if this was the “closure” sought and achieved in the Estrada case, it follows that similar closure would have to be attained in the many cases of fraud and corruption under the Arroyo administration.
It’s guilty for plunder for Estrada.
Not guilty for perjury.
Jinggoy and Edward Serapio, not guilty.

The Supreme Court en banc yesterday issued a temporary restraining order on the $329 million National Broadband Network project which the Department of Transportation and Communications entered into with the Chinese firm ZTE Corporation.
The high court granted the consolidated petitions of Iloilo Vice Gov. Rolex Suplico and Amsterdam Holdings Inc. (AHI) pending its decision on Suplico’s prayer to declare the broadband contract as unconstitutional.
The high court did not act on Suplico’s request to set the case for oral arguments.
On the eve of the Sandiganbayan verdict on the plunder and perjury case against former President Estrada, here are some of the thoughts being shared around by text or email:
From a friend close to the Estrada family: “Be daring in your prayers. God still works miracles.”
Akbayan issued a statement that whatever the verdict is, it’s tainted due to the interference of Malacañang in a process that should remain credible and beyond reproach.
Sabay-sabay ngayon pumuputok ang re-opening ng “Hello Garci” at ang anomalya sa P16 bilyon na ZTE broadband project.
Bilyon yan ha, siyam na zero.
Sa “Hello Garci” natutumbok na si Gloria Arroyo sa cover-up ng eskandalo. Sa ZTE broadband project, hanggang kay Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos pa lang.
At medyo mayroong mga tao na ang gusto ay hanggang kay Abalos lang. Ayaw nilang umakyat pa sa mas mataas, Di ba ang impeachment na i-file sa House of Representatives ay kay Abalos lang?

The military has rejected ex-Marine commandant Major General Renato Miranda’s appeal to release eight of his men co-accused with him for mutiny and leave him to stand trial alone.
“That is not possible because the criminal and administrative liability of one person cannot be absorbed by just one person,” Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public information officer Lieutenant Colonel Bartolome Bacarro said on Monday.
“They are charged with conspiracy, for violating the Articles of War. They have to face this,” told reporters in Camp Aguinaldo.

Last Friday, while former military agent T/Sgt Vidal Doble at the Senate was recounting live before TV viewers efforts of persons close to Gloria Arroyo to hide the truth in “Hello Garci” scandal, Army Capt. Ruben Guinolbay was making a statement related also to the cheating in the 2004 elections, but under the most restrictive media coverage.
It was Guinolbay’s turn to exercise his peremptory challenge on any member of the panel presiding in the special general court martial for the 28 military officers who had allegedly planned to withdraw support from a “bogus president” in February 2004.
But before exercising his right to peremptory challenge, Guinolbay asked and was granted two minutes to make a statement.
The young officer, known as the “hero of Lamitan” for his courageous battle against the Abu Sayyaf in June 2001, said it was the first time that he got near a microphone since the start of the trial almost a year ago.

Ex-Marine Commandant Major General Renato Miranda has urged the military to release eight of his men, who are his co-accused for mutiny before a court-martial, for the “common good,” and that he alone be left to stand trial.
“My position is to release all those who are currently detained and allow them to either opt to leave the service or continue their service to God, country and people,” Miranda said in a statement released on Sunday.
“I strongly reiterate that in the dispensation of justice, my position is — I be found guilty first before my subordinates are even subjected to the process,” said Miranda, who is detained at Camp Capinpin in Tanay town, Rizal province with his men, and their co-accused from the Army Scout Rangers.
