Dominican Republic official denies asylum report

De Lima’s dilemma is: how to sanitize ampatuan to qualify as state witness versus GMA in the alleged 2007 election sabotage! ha ha ha! and the time is ticking for De Lima to put GMA behind bar supposedly in December so that GMA will spend christmas in prison!
But chismax queen, PNoy has a solution to it (1) circulate rumors that GMA is only feigning sickness and would seek political asylum to make it appear that they have a solid case of plunder & election sabotage vs.GMA! (2) change tact by saying they are not in a hurry but will go through due process!
Meanwhile, prices of basic commodities are soaring! Our economy is regressing! Bribery in the peace process vs. rebels is so blatantly outrageous! Corruption is everywhere! Businessmen are obviously dictating government’s policy and these are all true to the slogan:  “matuwid na daan patungo sa bangin!”

Yes, of course.  Speed up, expedite, hurry up, largamos, bilisan ‘nyo, dasigon ‘nyo your cases against Arroyo so that you can have a solid ground to stand on!  At this point in time, you are all floating on air, eating air, swimming on air, talking on air, blowing air, dak-dak air, etc. with no decisive agenda to make the cases stick against the Arroyos!  You even have the help and backings of the “do nothing” pseudo-police investigators from the Senate!  Despite that, all we hear are ”WANG-WANGS”!  As what my friend always says, “YOU EITHER PUT UP or SHUT UP!”

The United States issues political protection for active politician’s from foreign countries on an automatic basis of asylum.  Common criminals do not receive this asylum at all of those from foreign countries.  Gloria is an active Congressperson and falls under the US Codes of Asylum. 

Even if the travel itineraries have been changed several times, it is another trick of the Arroyo’s to confuse and toss monkey-wrenches into the gears of Philippine government of Justice furthermore.  It is obvious to governments around the world that gloria is coming to one country and seek this asylum. 

But not fear at all…just that of being in jail for the remainder of her life, that’s all, as she lifted the death penalty during her administration, much to the glee of the entire political body. 

This “due process” thing; even the legal community in the Philippines is confused as to what it really is:  The basic guarantor of the rights of the accused, within the Constitution, not only protects a person from forced self-incrimination, such as giving evidence against himself in national or federal proceedings, but also demands that no person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime/s, unless on a presentment or incitement of a grand jury; which protects that individual against double jeopardy and also demands that no one be deprived of their life, liberties or property  without “due process of law”.

 (which  terms out to be the standard of law which brings a case to court and completes the handling of the person in question to offer their constitutional rights in the interim.) 

One thing we notice is the circus atmosphere surrounding DeLima.  It would be better decorum to have more structured press conferences without having massive reporters hanging off her shoulders, sticking cell phones in her face and bumping each other out of position just to get press releases. 

I’ll discuss the Philippine tradition of bone health in a later more appropriate text comment. 

While this is clearly devastating news to PNoy’s die-hard supporters, it’s really not something unexpected by DeLima, the Palace and even Aquino himself. They had reservations at the outset about the ‘asylum’ allegation which they claimed as ‘unverified’ report from undisclosed source. You can’t be more vague than that. In filipino parlance, we call it ‘tsimis’. Yet they decided to create a media blitz defending their need to dig more information about the rumor. Looking back, I can see why Palace people insisted to make a big fuss on “a shot in a dark” asylum allegation. It created big news headlines for days, something PNoy and his cohorts were more interested than anything else to gain about the controversy. To publicly humiliate the Arroyos, to sway public opinion and hopefully influence the travel TRO now being heard at the SC. In some ways, I think they succeeded in their sinister goal. We’re now witnessing our own version of political vengeance at work. This one is, of course, PNoy’s style. God bless the Philippines.

The mere tsismis in the text message (their own invention) is used by P!GGY LAYLA to hide embarrassing news last week, such as: NAIA the worst airport in the world, the PHILIPPINES as the world’s most hated place for investors, the Philippines as the nation where the highest rate of electricity in the world etc. In the showbiz, they used to call this as gimmick and very common to this showbiz oriented administration, the comic, and student council government of the ROCKSTAR NOY, after more than 500 days in office, their biggest achievement so far (if you ask valte) is giving 5M pesos to MILF, giving 31 M pesos to NPA/ABB, and donating 1 million U.S. dollars to a rich country Japan. These are only 3 of 44 that was already released by Ernesto Maceda in his column in PHILSTAR, obviously wala yun dito sa INQUIRER.

Neofeudalism, sustained official public kleptocracy, plutocratic oligarchy, economic stagflation, public hunger, mass unemployment, and moronic political witch hunting  are striking features of this Aquino presidency.

Any more to add ?

AY pahiya na naman ang administration. Anyone care to update the list of errors this administration has committed? 

Valte said the Palace also preferred that whatever case would eventually
be filed against Arroyo in court would be based purely on evidence.

Really? The way the DOJ Secretary has been conducting the proceedings on the case, I find this incredibly hard to believe. Innuendo and hearesay seem to be the primary basis for her legal pronouncements as of late.

But hey, if this is what her boss wants. My unsolicited advice for him: might as well get Boy Abunda to replace Delima. He is infinitely much better with the chismis and sabi-sabi than she is.

Since it is unverified, dapat hindi na niya ini-release sa Media. She is the country’s secretary of justice. At this point she is imply showing to everyone that she is nothing but Aquino’s war dog against GMA.

She should be disbarred. Anyway, maraming showbiz talk show ang nangangailangan ng host. Dun OK lang magsabi ng unverified information. But at the office of the DOJ? Hello???

This is very sensitive issue. Of course the Dominican Republic Foreign Minister will deny it even if it is true. They
are not that crazy to antagonize their relationship with the current regime.
