It’s
getting clearer that there’s more than meets the eye in the circus that is the
Senate sub-committee probe of alleged corrupt acts of Vice-President Jejomar
Binay.
With
no less than PNoy and Senate Presiident Fraklin Drilon as the latest artists,
apart from subcommittee members Senators
Koko Pimentel, Antonio Trillanes and Alan Cayetano.
Again,
this is not in defense of Binay. And I am not working for him in any manner
whatsoever and anybody can verify this anytime.
After
encouraging the Senate investigation since it started, here comes PNoy suddenly
calling for its termination and the presentation of all pieces of evidence
against Binay.
But
ONLY AFTER Binay backed out from his debate with Sen. Antonio Trillanes.
In
asking for the termination of the probe, PNoy pointed out the piecemeal
presentation of proof against Binay in the subcommittee.
But
it has been the system since the probe started. Why did he wait for Binay to
withdraw from the debate first before asking the sub-committee to stop its inquiry?
And
without any apparent serious consideration, Pimentel replies faster than
lightning that PNoy should not meddle in the probe, the Senate and the
Executive which the President heads being co-equal branches of government.
Now,
the sub-committee probe has not yet proven anything against Binay beyond
reasonable doubt. The Ombudsman s already conducting a similar investigation,
So
one can’t help but wonder what makes it so difficult for Pimentel as
sub-committee chair to stop the probe and leave it to the Ombudsman.
If
it’s not for the continued and lengthy media exposure, Pimentel had better have
air-tight justification on what else is there that only the subcommittee can
uncover or resolve in the accusations against Binay.
To
put it simply, what makes Pimentel’s sub-committee SO INDISPENSABLE IN FINDING
OUT THE TRUTH?
A
story in inquirer.net quoted Drilon as saying that he cannot, and does not have
the authority, to stop the probe.
Wow,
Drilon’s the Senate BIG BOSS and he does not have any authority over the
actions of his subordinates. ANO SIYAN G KLASENG BOSS or anong klaseng sistema
meron sa Senado?
Believe
me, people, there are a LOT MORE that we ordinary mortals don’t know about in
the Binay controversy.
Whatever
are these, one thing’s for sure”these will affect our political and daily lives
in the days to come, all the way t the 2016 elections. 30
