With due respect to all you guys, the entity that convicted Mr. Joseph is the same entity that created a new political animal defined as constructive resignation. Wala naman sa Constitution ganun - it was a judicial invention of Davide who has to rush yun panunumpa ni Glorya sa Ortigas. In fact, even yun SC designation says na de jure president si Glorya - hindi sya duly elected. The decision was a flowery judicial justification of a coup that succeeded - and the sad part is that history is always written from the perspective of the victors. Binasa ko yun dispositive part at parang it emanated from a petition questioning the SC decision based on an inferred mob rule as a basis. Pero you can deduce from this SC decision that even the lawyer who crafted the petition for Mr. Joseph did it para matalo ang client nya kasi ang inatake nila is an inference na parang mob rule lamang ang pagkaka decision ng SC to declare Mr. Joseph as resigned. The petition should have taken a strategy questioning the judicial validity of Davide's personal act instead of petitioning the SC questioning its decision as an offshoot of a mob rule. You mean nagkaron agad ng en banc special session ang Supreme Court in a matter of hours at bigla may decision na proclaiming a constructive resignation at biglang may proclamation ng presidente? Wala ng oral arguments or submission of affidavits or motions before a decision was reached? Does that mean na pwede uli mangyari mag decision ang SC on its own pag may failure of elections?
I was not in the Philippines that time and saw only on TV na umaalis sya from Malacanang using a boat. It was incredulous that a duly elected President would be physically leaving the premises of his office just because a few thousands were marching towards Malacanang and that this few thousands were not even representative of the eleven million people all over the country that voted him. I am not an Erap admirer nor do I know him personally but facts are facts - how can a sitting president who physically leaves the premises of his office to avoid violent confrontation with a mob be considered resigned? He could have just left physically Malacanang to go to San Juan and you consider that resigned? When Glorya physically leaves Malacanang to go to Pampanga, you can say she is constructively resigned? When Glorya physically goes to New York dahil sa atake ng press, is she constructively resigned? Note that yun rally nuon against Mr. Joseph was only created by people in Metro Manila, hindi kasali mga tao sa probinsya so you can say na mga taga Metro Manila lang ang tao sa Pinas na pwedeng mag desisyon tungkol sa direction ng bayan natin? Assuming 2milyon people marched towards Malacanang that time, how about the nine million people who voted for him? In fact, the impeachment process sa Senado eh hindi naman natapos so hindi pwede sabihin na he was impeached. It was still ongoing at nag iiyak na itong Legarda - iboboto mo ba uli ang isang babae na iiyak na lang pag may problema?
Sa mga ka espiya,I consider you all spies so sana magisip kayo at wag padala sa propaganda ng press. Study the facts before aping the proclamations of the cabal of people financed by groups who have the hidden agenda that time to get Mr. Joseph out of Malacanang. Pag kinuha mo pera ng mga jueteng lords, pera ba ng bayan yun or pera ng private individual? Pag ginastos mo pera ng isang private individual at ibinayad mo sa kinain mo sa New york, pera ba ng bayan yun or pera ng isang private individual? Whats the difference? Assuming for the sake of argument na nag komisyon si Mr. Joseph sa mga transaction, pera ba ng bayan yun or pera ng private companies doing business with government and comes as part of cost of sales of doing business? Note that wala naman pang napatunayan na pera ng bayan nawala dahil kunuha ni Mr. Joseph pero yun pera na ibinayad sa mga depektibong election machines ng Mega Pacific na declared void ng SC ay actual na pera na nawala ng gobyerno. Bakit hindi pa nakakulong si Mr. Abalos hanggang ngayon dahil that is a blatant case of plunder which is a non-bailable offense. Will Mr. Noynoy prosecute Mr. Abalos if ever he wins the Presidency?
Ngayon, the very same people that financed the ouster of Mr. Erap are again the very same people who are now raring for Mr. Noynoy to run for President? Just don't take what the papers say, always read between the lines. Study your history and study it independently.
