Alan Peter Cayetano turned the Senate into a political marketplace
In the latest news, a big conundrum like many pa Alan Peter Cayetano in the Senate because Senator Bato dela Rosa has left. At best, he has 12 votes included person of interest of the National Bureau of Investigation which Senator Robin Padilla.
And there is another new information that has a direct impact on Bato: he said and Office of the Attorney General in the Supreme Court that Dela Rosa’s temporary restraining order seeking to suspend the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against him should be dismissed.
Ayon sa OSG, Dela Rosa’s conduct “clearly places him within the definition of a fugitive from justice.”
It is sad when the senators themselves, who should be examples of decency and integrity, are called out by the voters and their colleagues. As Senator Loren Legada – deleted his photo on the Wall of the Empowered Women’s College of the Assumption San Lorenzo. Loren today is far from the inexperienced senator at the time of the dismissal of former president Joseph Estrada who showed flawless political handling of the second envelope of Jose Velarde. Where is that Loren?
And there is also a senator whom Rappler columnist Joey Salgado called “a politician who quotes the scriptures of amazing hypocrisy” – Cayetano. Fellow student activists called for a Cayetano day in UP to mag-resignation that he They said Cayetano showed “a profound failure in decision, leadership, and institutional responsibility.”
A political analyst said Ronald Llamas: “About a week after Cayetano’s leadership, (the Senate) had a fugitive, an objection to justice, aiding and abetting the escape and being turned into a firing range.” Llamas said that the Senate “is not under attack” by outside forces, Cayetano is said to have attacked the Senate.
With Cayetano’s desire to protect Vice President Sara Duterte, the integrity, honesty and democratic values of the Senate will almost certainly be “exploited.”
Things are moving fast and Cayetano may not be SP in the blink of an eye.
If only, we don’t forget the tragedy of Alan Peter’s interim session: he turned the Senate into a political market.
And not only Cayetano but the swing votes of the former majority should be charged: Legada who according to sources is hell-bent on taking care of the son Leandro Leviste who is accused of profiting from the solar energy industry. There are brothers Mark and Camille Villar who are known to use politics as a shield family businesses.
And of course Pia Cayetano, the fake woman who supported misogynist Rodrigo Duterte, and is loyal to her brother when it comes to politics. Even those who held back Migz Zubiri and JV Ejercito must explain.
History proves again that in politics, there are no permanent friends, but permanent interests. Senators Legarda, the Villar brothers, and Pia Cayetano – maybe there is a cave in hell where Alan Peter can be a respected leader, but not in the Senate.
Previously, Bato said, it was not a problem if the ICC arrested him because at least he could take care of the elder Duterte in prison in The Hague. But all that secrecy has been lifted. He realized that this was a prelude to what could be his life sentence. In the end, the world showed Bato that there is no punishment, especially for crimes against humanity.
Hopefully, Bato also realizes that Cayetano used him to grab power and tie the knot to protect the daughter of their boss – Vice President Sara Duterte. Hopefully, Bato has realized that he is a usable pawn in the chess game of Cayetano and Duterte.
The opening of the impeachment case has a bad smell because of the position of senators-judges. Is this a sign that we cannot expect a fair judgment?
But it’s only half a day, and there’s more to come. Stay tuned for the next chapter. – Rappler.com
