THE SANTOS UNTRUTH
A few days ago I bear witness to Lozada’s former
employee, Erwin Santos’ testimony of graft practices being done with
his knowledge and compliance by no other than Lozada himself. It was
broadcasted over the government’s NBN station. It was what I totally
expect in a demolition job except there was overkill because they had
Santos break down into tears a la Lozada when he was testifying in the
senate. It was that overkill that killed it all for that damning but
untruthful testimony.
Lozada already admitted being involved in
graft practices when he was in government service and that those
practices are ones that he cannot be proud of with. It was Miriam
Santiago who had all the documents furnished to her by maybe
powers-that-be of all the anomalous acts Lozada committed while
president of Phil Forest who first brought to all of it to light.
Lozada: Mea culpa!
How do we get witnesses to plunder or
organized crime? We build cases. We stake-out. We persuade the very
ones who knows the inner working of a syndicate to rat on their
superiors offering them immunity or a lesser sentence. Take the case of
Singson for example, though his frustrated whacking was the very reason
for his testifying against Estrada, still, being a member of the
midnight cabinet who is deemed very close to Estrada then, he knows who
buffers who and who buttons who. Now where can you find a better
witness than that?
Take note of one of GMA’s friend who
undermines Lozada’s truth because according to her, how can you believe
anyone who admits that he himself committed anomalous acts? That
question in itself fortified Lozada’s testimony. Lozada is more
believable because he acted as an adviser; he was tasked to ‘moderate
the greed’ as if greed now is almost a virtue. It was to be expected
though because at the grass root levels of the Filipino society, greed
is already in exercise. You don’t believe me? Try researching about the
Sangguniang Kabataan and you’ll know what I’m driving at.
It
doesn’t take one to be a genius to know that this sort of demolition
job on Lozada is just what it is—a demolition job. Anything that can be
used to discredit Lozada’s testimony is bound to be unearthed and
seeing how this government magically produced a million votes in the
last elections we can also expect this government in the event of not
finding anything they can use against Lozada to manufacture one. Well,
here we have one, Santos’ tearful yet very unbelievable testimony.
It
disgusts me as it should disgust anyone else how this government thinks
that they can discredit Lozada in the eyes of everyone by producing a
nemesis which also cries. Is this how this government thinks how
imbecile our IQs are? Is this how this government thinks they can get
away with it all? There’s Lozada and they produce a Santos. Sick! I
need not elaborate more on how to discern the blatant spat on our
faces. I need not tell you anymore why this blow is one way below the
belt. Its right in front of your face and it fucking insults my and
your goddam intelligence.
It boggles the mind that there are
still who believes in GMA. It amazes me that the cabinet is not
resigning amidst this latest brouhaha. Perhaps they’re thinking when
you’re in power you want it to stay that way no matter what. I grew up
in a traditionalist family where the legacy is more important than
anything else. So this is the legacy that GMA and her minions would
want to impart to the history books. A cabal of thieves, murderers,
cheats and plunderers who are so intoxicated with the power they wield
that they see no end to it. Well, we as a nation who thinks otherwise
should make it that they see the end of it. I remember Richard telling
Daffy in The Beach something Daffy pondered on and then committed
suicide and that is how I’m tuning my final note. No offense and all,
but if you still believe what GMA and her government has to say, you’re
fucked in the head.
