Scandals in the First Family

[EL Chicane]

Erap hasn't been convicted of any crime thus GMA had no right to assume office, if you go by the constitution.

Actually, kung babalikan nyo yung mga pangyayari nung time na yun, ang unang issue sa lahat ay yung "legitimacy" of Arroyo assuming the presidency. That was already resolved with finality by the Supreme Court. There was verified evidence shown that Erap resigned after his cabinet, police, and military abandoned him and revoked their loyalty.

Tapos na yung issue whether GMA had the right to assume office after Erap was toppled. In fact, the present existence of Congress today proves that the Arroyo administration is legitimate. Wag na nating ibalik yung GMA vs. ERAP. Tapos na yun eh. And Erap is already on trial with the best lawyers in the country kaya meron siyang due process.

Ang issue ngayon ay kung si GMA ba ay nandaya nitong huling eleksyon? Again, wala itong kinalaman dun sa nakaraang GMA vs. ERAP. Lumalabas na ang mga ebidensya ay hindi matibay, kaya ginagaya nila yung technique nung pinatalsik nila si Erap dati. Hindi kasi matibay yung ebidensya kay Erap dati kaya dinaan nila sa People Power. Gusto nilang ulitin yung same People Power noon laban naman ngayon kay GMA.

Okay ah! Hindi matibay ang ebidensya kay GMA? Hmmm okay

Yes. All evidence must be proven in the court of law and not thru media. Sa korte kasi, lahat ng ebidensya ay pwedeng suriin ng husto ng mga eksperto in a controlled manner. Pag sa media kase, puro opinyon lang at haka-haka ang ginagamit para malaman kung totoo nga yung ebidensya o hinde. So hanggat wala pa yung ebidensya sa korte, hindi ito matibay. Kanya-kanyang opinyon lang ang pinapa-iral natin.

GMA's strategy to keep quiet is a good move for her. Everyone knows that wiretapped recordings cannot be used as evidence in court. They can only be used to confirm a suspicion and plan for the next moves to catch the target red-handed with something that can be used in court.

Mukhang yung opposition doesn't have a plan for their next moves kaya pinag-iinit na lang nila yung mga damdamin ng mga tao thru the media hoping a people power will happen again.

You cannot commit a crime and use it as an evidence to prove another crime.
