Malacañang had portraits and shoes that was expensive and those portraits and shoes are gifts from other countries too yet who destroyed and stole those things? it is the Filipino people who ransacked the Palace... Only Marcos reign which Philippines experienced the Golden Age where Military Power and sovereignty was unmatched in Asia and due to this Power, many Marcos opposition and cronies wanted to grasp these power which resulted to a Martial Law... so it is not a denial that F. Marcos existence that he's one of the Great Leaders who greatly made the Philippines heard all over the world... But tragic happens all the time so be it...
As far as Brenda is concerned, if you could atleast survive having a battle of wits with her, you can judge her the way she judge her colleagues, it is also the reason why nobody tried to impeach her or whatsoever is because of her intellectual power, i'm not a fan of her or even charmed by her speeches but it is also obvious how those other senator judges make alibis just to cover up their agendas... Even JPE accepted in an interview that the walk out affected his decision, so i guess Miriam has a point that the bases of judgment are not all facts but mixed with emotions and ego...
And as for Corona, JPE stated it all, only the SALN which he didn't filed correctly was wrong, there was no ill gotten wealth involved in his case, i believe that the prosecution was planning to exposed ill gotten wealth in the first place which obviously we had seen on media exposure that they're claiming Corona had these properties but failed after Corona waived his right, which Chiz Escudero questioned the prosecution team after they didn't cross examined him... i also believe that Corona just wanted to clarify that he didn't steal any from the Government... but what can we believed now that even an Ombudsman accept tampered and illegal documents? anyway, this is now the 2nd Chapter of the Story, after 1 year when CJ Corona was expelled and convicted, what could be the changes of Juan De La Cruz Country in Pnoy Term? Does he still uses the same word that it was all Gloria's fault or will he make a new trending phrase? May it be positive or negative, we are not blind...
Ignorance is a not a bliss all the time...
