The priest and the queen

The priest in you, Ed Panlilio, made you reveal the bribe try to governors to support gloria against another impeach bid in Congress.

            The politician in you, Among Ed, made you say you felt it was not a bribe.

            C’mon, governor!  Half a million bucks given to you in an envelope, without receipts and explanation as to its purpose?

            If you do not feel it is a bribe, why did you have to come out in the open and demand an explanation from the palace?

            You know it deep within your bones—as sure as you know that gma is a crook—it is a bribe.

            You are a provincial governor and still a priest (albeit on leave).  You owe us, the people, to make a complete breast of what you really know.

            We are waiting.

The palace distanced itself away from the extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, massacres and other human rights violations.

            The palace backed off from the peace negotiations with rebel groups.

            The palace said it had nothing to do with the massive corruption cases, such as the Macapagal Avenue overpricing scandal, the broadband deal, the Jose Pidal accounts, the jueteng and smuggling cases, and many others.

            The palace denied it cheated massively in the 2004 and 2007 elections with the “Hello Garci” and “Hello Bidol” stinkers.

            In fact, the palace never admitted to any wrongdoing.

            Why do some still wonder why our country is left way behind in terms of development and social justice?

            The palace has never admitted to any wrongdoing despite the deep shit we are in!  We are governed by the queen of lies and hasty retreat!
