For Noynoy and suspected Malacanang cohorts of Janet Napoles:
"As long as you are trying to be something other than what you actually are, your mind wears itself out. But if you say, 'This is what I am, it is a fact that I am going to investigate, understand,' then you can go beyond."--Krisnamurti
"Did he not know, did not the cabal that fed him with parables of lies hear the funeral songs of gentle souls?"--A line from the blogger's prize- winning poem
Years ago, former Senator Panfilo Lacson warned his colleagues in the Upper Chamber that the pork barrel allocations for them must be stopped. The blogger said then: It was wrong, it was open to abuse, it gave the lawmakers undue advantage.
And the Filipino people did not know about this kind of money that they pay as taxes. Hard-earned money that has been lining the pockets of these thieves for a long time.
Whatever his faults were, Lacson of the infamous Baleleng massacre should be commended for his exposure. He was accused of masterminding the summary execution of these bank robbers. And now these legal robber barons.
It was fortuitous then something happened that blew the lid off this perfidy. Ten years later. Maybe it was God's will that the truth must be exposed in all its ugliness. Lawmakers and their cohorts stealing from the people through Janet Napoles, the mother of all Philippine scams.
Los ladrones (are they as bad as the most maligned Filipino Ferdinand Marcos or Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?) that have made the Filipinos slaves in their own country. No historical antecedent, this betrayal of the public trust.
