Mmm...wonder why did the opposition submitted a splice version? Dapat din "sorry" itong dalawa?
The wiretapped telephone conversations of a man who sounds like Virgilio Garcillano is causing sleepless nights not only to President Arroyo, but also to at least two opposition senators.
Her critics point to recordings of the wiretaps as evidence that Mrs. Arroyo colluded with "Garci" to cheat in the presidential election last year. The President has owned up to being one of the voices captured in the recordings, and has publicly apologized for her "impropriety." Of course, she has denied committing electoral fraud.
On a motion by minority congressmen, a 30-minute version of the wiretaps produced by Allan Paguia—who used to lawyer for Joseph Estrada until he was suspended by the Supreme Court, but is known to be still close to the jailed former president—has been read into the House record. It could thus be used as evidence in possible impeachment proceedings against Mrs. Arroyo.
Members of the pro-GMA House majority, however, insist that Paguia submit his "source tap" the original, lengthier recording of Garci’s cell-phone chats with several other people. Among those "other people," sources say, are at least two opposition candidates who ran for the Senate, were projected by early surveys as long shots, but nonetheless managed to capture secure spots on the list of winners.
It shouldn’t be too hard to imagine where the administration plans to take this "discovery," if indeed the so-called source tape contains information that portrays prominent oppositionists just as likely to have cheated in last year’s general polls as Mrs. Arroyo.
The meteoric rise of the two opposition candidates from the bottom of opinion polls to well within the magic circle of elected senators after May 10, 2004, will be portrayed as the outcome of their own "Hello, Garci" phone calls.
The idea, obviously, is to liken the President’s detractors in the political opposition to the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.Last edited by Monseratto; July 4th, 2005 at 07:20 PM.

Si Jambie? Kala ko dahil kay Judy Ann yun pagkapanalo niya? No wonder no one from the senate opposition dared to investigate the Garci Tapes.

No wonder Allan Paguia has been resisting calls to play the entire tape...
