Since events such as the EDSA Revolutions and the Mount Pinatubo eruption, the international media has not been as captivated by events in the Philippines. The elected Vice-President has issued threats to kill the President, his spouse, and the Speaker of the House, following a prolonged congressional investigation into her confidential fund usage, which led to the unjust detention of her chief of staff, a daughter of a former president's ally.
Not since events like EDSA Uno and EDSA Dos, the December 1989 coup attempt against Cory, or calamities like the Mount Pinatubo eruption and Typhoon Yolanda has the international media been so agape at events in the country.The elected Vice-President has issued threats to kill the President, his lady and the Speaker of the House. Unthinkable?
So the long embattled vice-president decided to go for broke. “Tinaob ang bangka,” Tagalogs would say. All the King’s men immediately denounced her “dastardly” plan, unmindful of her “conditional” declaration. And then, their King belatedly reacted, in deadpan facial expression. On Monday, the Torquemadas resumed their inquisition, but unexpectedly, their target who earlier refused to dignify their efforts, strode into the House.
The House playbook is all too familiar. The scripts they read from were prepared for them by their coaches from a law firm that 24 years back did something against Erap to install their client GMA to power. The NBI summoned her to appear tomorrow to “identify” her hired assassin. Maybe she will say it is Jason Bourne.
