Conjugal Fighting

After the bedlam created by the NBI raiding teams at the height of the rice crisis a few weeks ago, we find no similar news lately. Have they stopped their campaign to rid us of those unscrupulous rice traders? Why? Who ordered them to stop?

Gloria has been very persistent in filing cases against these traders. She has, in fact, even gone to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to personally attend to the prosecution of these traders. However, despite "presidential intervention", nothing came out of it. Why? What happened?

DOJ insiders say, it allegedly took one or several phone calls from the First Golfer to stop "the madness". After the raid in a supposed warehouse of controversial lady Vicky Toh and her brother Thomas by an NBI crack team, calls were made and those raids mysteriously disappeared.

As mysterious as these raids was the sudden "reincarnation" of this case against former DOJ Hernani Perez. Gloria's fair-haired boy and confidante, Perez's case suddenly sprung to life as if somebody caused it to happen.

And ironies of ironies...Perez is now being counseled by the First Golfer's chief legal propagandist. Wagging tongues can't help but notice this blatant irony.

So, who's the more powerful now? That lady from the putrid river or that gentleman from the big-time operator world? You tell me.

Ah, talking about the DOJ, that septuagenarian remains the big man out there. That Gonzo seems to have a solid backing from the lady and the gentleman. Why? Well, he serves as the hatchet man. And he's doing quite a feat, what with his glib tongue.

Lastly, why did Ermita agree to be demoted? From being an alter-ego, he's just now, the voice behind the curtain. Why? I have the highest respect for Ermita. Why stay? Why?
