The U.S. has clearly indicated its stand against the opposition's shenanigans when it indicted Aquino and Aragoncillo for espionage. In the present case, I don't think that it would bother holding Jocjoc Bolante without the consent of the Arroyo administration.

It would be in the opposition's interest, though, if Bolante is liquidated. They can then pin the blame on the administration. :mrgreen:

It took the Department of Foreign Affairs days to announce that former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante had been taken into custody by the US immigration for violation of an unspecified US law. Former Solicitor General Frank Chavez cried conspiracy between the Philippine and US governments. He said the arrest was a ploy to keep Bolante out of Philippine jurisdiction and prevent him from testifying on the P728-million fertilizer scam.

During the time of President Ferdinand Marcos, foreign service posts were always on their toes whenever Imelda Marcos was around. Filipino diplomats lined up to be under her beck and call. Spouses of diplomats and lower ranking officers hovered around her when she did her shopping sprees. And the head of the Philippine National Bank, with diplomatic rank, was ever ready to draw his checks to settle her accounts.

What is clear is that the consulate in Los Angeles, in this instance, was discouraged to render its consular duty to assist a Filipino national detained in Los Angeles, California. For the first time in living memory, two treaties -- the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and the Philippines-US Convention on Consular Relations -- were not invoked "to protect," or at least to seek a visit and an interview of a national detained in a foreign port.

Has any high-ranking government official been sent from Manila to assist Bolante? Did Frank Chavez hit a diplomatic nail on the head?

This so funny and comical.

Political asylum is asked by someone persecuted by the government of his country. Joc2 Bolante's case is different. He is asking an asylum not from the Glue-ria Arroyo government but guess from whom?

From the NPA!!!

So granting that there was persecution, it was not from his government but from a rebel group. Very silly alibi for someone who is wanted to answer for the billions of pesos of Peopl'e money spent for the candidacy of Glue-ria Arroyo.

ok. hehehehehhe.

that's another ploy of the current administration so that bolante wont be exposing the anomalies.

[FK]

and i thought the administration is better? naaa..... they're all the same. but when issues arises like this, where there is a clear paper, there are less outrage than we hear against those people rallying on the streets.
