JUST LEAVE THE DOJ ALONE, MORALES!

Sept. 6, 2016

A story in gmanews.tv quoted Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales as saying: “The revising and re-opening of PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) cases (by the Department of Justice (DOJ)) is vague, I don’t understand.” My take: Just leave the DOJ alone, Madam:

Anybody correct me if I’m wrong but the DOJ is INDEPENDENT of or not UNDER YOU, Ms. Morales. It DOES NOT NEED to enlighten you on ANYTHING they intend to do. Neither do they need your blessing or support in the performance of their job. So PROFESSIONAL COURTESY dictates that you should not question their intentions or plans in any way whatsoever.

Justice Sec. Vitaliano Aguirre DID NOT specifically name you when he described the PNoyt Administration’s probe of the PDAF scam as selective. So unless you want to prevent or hide something, there’s no reason for you to react in the first place.

Sabi nga ng kabataan ngayon, “walang basagan ng trip.”

If your office had indeed been fair in investigating and prosecuting officials involved in the PDAF scam as you claim, then it should not be a problem or an issue for you if the DOJ wants to reopen the probe. If the DOJ would turn out wrong, then it’s their humiliation not yours.  So DON’T PREEMPT the DOJ’s plans. Let them find out for themselves how fair you have been, as you claim to be. You’re  not trying to hide anything, are you? 30
