Guilty, The Erap Trial Aftermath

Plunder is simply an act of amassing any amount of money or fortune for ones own benefit and in simple laymans term its an act of thievery; plain and simple. The sentence that was meted out on a memorable September 12, 2007 shows that justice, no matter how long it takes will definitely prevail, and when it does, theres nothing uanfair about its verdict.

Seven years has passed since Eraps ouster and it proves that the fated mass action against him has prevailed and bore fruit despite the unfavourable responses of the Filipino poor, despite his faults after all, hes generous and they adore him for that. Justice however demands accountability for his actions, where did he get all his money for his frivolous and pompous lifestyle? Gallant as he is, he outrightly stole from the coffers of the people, stealing from the very same poor people he pretends to serve. Whatever his and his peers definition of justice is, true justice still prevailed, that he is in the wrong and he deserves the retribution it asks, lifetime imprisonment.

Popularity has nothing to do with justice, and Eraps verdict clearly shows it. While he and his allies continually deny the allegations of his crime, it his apparent lack of judgment that got the better out of him. Despite his melodramatic display of supposed innocence and the outright support of his subjects, he blew it when he actually admitted he signed the fated Jose Velarde signature and made this statement mas mabuti pang magnakaw ng pera kesa mandaya ng boto (its better to steal than cheat the electorate). Furthermore, it is his dim-witted display of gallantry that hits the final nail to the coffin; while his ouster is a political act, his verdict is vox dei, albeit non vox populi.

It is rather sad that his supporters couldnt accept the verdict and blame the current administration for his downfall, but this is all madness, why condone a criminal? Sure, everybody loves Robin Hood, but Robin is nothing but a common thief who feeds the poor with stolen meat, and theres nothing heroic about it. The real hero of the story is Ole King Richard the Lionhearted who finally came to his senses and returned to his country to serve it with justice instead of fighting it all out in the absurd Crusades. Erap is no Robin Hood either, hes more or less Prince John who cavorts the nations riches while giving out a measly portion to the masses to prove his salts worth.

The Sandigang Bayans verdict is convolutedly tainted nevertheless with politics. As mentioned before, Eraps ouster was initiated by politicians who wanted the very same post he held and similarly implemented with various politically hungry organizations (i.e. the Catholic Church and the segmented Left) who none-the-less cavort the same powers he once held. To make matters worse, the very same people who accused him are now his political allies making him the worst fool of history. Not only did he share the same bed with the enemy, he picked the wrong ones for his allies; they needed his popularity and his misfortune for their own ambitions while at the same time, sneering off his state. Quoting his lap dog Ping Lacson, his merry band of pundits is nothing more than a bunch of political mongrels who readily bites the hands the feed them once the opportunity arise.

Another mockery of justice lies with the Filipino people who not only condone corruption but cries justice at the same time. The Filipino readily gives out his measly portion to the ever-hungry corrupt to enjoy a certain level of contentment while contemptuously condemn the latter for its illicit transaction. This show of idiosyncrasy simply proves that we dont grasp the full meaning of justice - the simple knowledge of right and wrong. We know stealing is not right, why condone it, why choose a leader when we know he/she is corrupt? Would it be that he/she is generous and gallant that we could conceal his/her actions? It is of no wonder why we couldnt progress because we dont deserve it. Perhaps if we could retune our common senses that we could go back in track and succeed.

With all this excitement, may the September 12 verdict be a lesson to us all; not only is Erap guilty of plunder, we are also guilty of absolute stupidity.

topak lang ang magpardon ng magnanakaw na di umaamin.

wala tato magagawa nasa pilipinas tayo

they are all dropping like flies.. para sa akin nga mas mainam kung mag resign sila then face the music.. dyan makikita at malalaman kung sino nga ang insosente..

BWAHAHAAHAHAH!!!

Neri is a very suspecious (personal opinion). I can't seem to trust his statements...

De Venecia... may araw ka rin! mwahahaha... malapit-lapit ka na rin...

Wala ng ginawa ang mga senators kungdi mag investigate. kasama ba talaga sa job description ng isang senator ang maging investigators?

Desperate Houswife: Ayan sa kabalustugan ng mga ipakto sinsira ang reputasyon ng mga Pinoy nurses, medic, and the likes dahil sa  mga controversial licensure exam at yang University of Recto, ginagawa na tayong international comic subject. This is a serious matter...

Wala ng ginawa ang MMDA kung di maghukay at mag-ayos ng kalsada. Ang MWSS, mag ayos ng linya ng tubig. Nagcocause na kayo ng sobrang traffic. NAMAN!!!

CBCP officially announce their support in ousting JDV. hahaha sabi ko na nga ba susunod na siya.

After the controversial Desperate Houswife episode, so what happen next. Accept the apology and go on with the usual life? Dapat gawin itong wake up call.

Funny dahil mismo ang mga senators na ang mag-iimbistega sa kanilang mga sarili after na magleak ang information.

nagpahanda si Mayor Lim para kay Manny Pacquiao ng Heroes Welcome/Victory Party. Ano ginawa ni Manny? Dumiretso siya sa Quezon City sa DENR kay X-Mayor Atienza. Inisnab daw si Mayor Lim...

balikan ang nakaraan. si Mayor Atienza, nagawa niyang ipalabas ang laban ni Manny sa Widescreen sa Mercury sa may Quiapo. Si Mayor Lim... hindi. Wala daw siyang 400T para sa maipalabas ang laban.

Hehehe... take that Mayor Lim...

or baka ayaw nya lang sumama ung damdamin ni Atienza, kasi nga daw dba, friends sila..
pero sana pinuntahan nya nalang alok ni Mayor Lim.. it's seems like a polite thing to do.

parang showbiz na ung politka!
susmaryosep!!!!
