When former vice president Tito Guingona was asked why he's now defending the man whom he ousted six years ago, Tito said that Erap is now "a changed man." Detention has dissipated every hate, every ill-thinking from the once powerful president. I share what Tito thinks about Erap. His conversion is now completed.
That's why when photos of Erap kissing his ailing mother came out of the papers today, I felt that this man deserves another chance for the presidency again. Should the Fates give him another opportunity, surely, his term would be punctuated by streaks of brilliance.
Two days from now, we will know Erap's fate. Erap says he is confident of 100-percent acquittal. I believe him. I think he will be acquitted. I think both camps know that Wednesday would be the day not of reckoning but of acquittal.
For many, this will be a day of justice. This will be a triumph of justice. Wagging tongues say it will bode ill will to Arroyo should Erap be acquitted.I think it would be total hogwash for some camps to move to oust Arroyo in an Erap acquittal. It would be best to oust Arroyo in a guilty verdict than an acquittal.
Whom would the Sandiganbayan choose? If Erap is convicted, we suffer from the threat of continuous destabilization from his supporters. If he's acquitted, we suffer from a system's breakdown. Why? Because that's an acknowledgement that we are being administered by a bogus president.
For me, it would be best for the country to just acquit the man. To hell if they are saying that GMA is bogus.
