i totally agree. if mike wants to clear his name, there is no other way, but go the exit door of the palace and embrace the real cause and clamor of the public for the truth.

with this move he made even to his close friend, he is just immortalizing his image as a lapdog of the palace occupant. and the public will make pay for this dearly, that even his “multi-level networking” skills are bound to fail

orlando R-:=(, Lotto rigging?/If Sen. Fred Lim allegedly won the PCSO 1st Prize during his term as NBI Chief, as rumored then by tabloids, what so hard in rigging it for the klepto-family in the Enchanted Kingdom of GMA,esp. when PSCO is directly under the OTP now, if I am not mistaken. LETS SEE IF Sergs Osmena-Valencia can clear this out.
Calling my former blockmate at DLSU (SOV)to dispel our doubts.

Hi Angela, enlighten me please.

I thought that when you are called by the Senate as a resource person in aid of legislation, anything you say there cannot be used against you.

So if there is a discrepancy between Jun Lozada’s statement in the Senate and in the Court of Appeals, can his statement in the Senate be used against him? Mawawalan na tayo ng resource person pag ganun, right?

Can anybody further confuse me?

Lotto is rigged? Don’t they publicize the drawing of the “balls”? I suppose if that can be rigged, so can the automated elections. Just a thought..

As one Batanganeo comedian once said, Onli in the Pilipins!!!. You’r right “walang kalatuylatoy”. its a miscalculated hatchet job which will surely backfire and resurrect the bad smell of corruption from the NBN-ZTE onerous deal. Was this to delay and pre-empt the Senate’s Blue Ribbon Committee report to the Ombudsman for possible filing of charges? its strange for a brilliant-mind like Mike to drive the issue
recklessly in an pre-election campaign period. Something is being cooked for No-el scenario?? To confuse and deviate the people’s mindset for 2010 election, I hope not.

Hi Angela,
yes the metro trial court was correct. i’m not sure if lozada can go up to CA to contest the arrest warrant.

i guess the “circus” started way back when.. and in these times, the conventional way to play is often not the best way.. so the gandhi gambit may work..

For the nth time – Hip, Hop, Hooray, Hip, Hop, Hooray. But where else can a tragicomedy of this magnitude happen except in my dear native land called the Philippines.

To Jun Lozada, a zany piece of advice, go get Annabel Rama as your Manager tignan ko lang kung hindi matopak ang mga nakaupo sa gobyerno.

hey orlando ;) so the first court that dismissed the complaint was right, ‘no? re the circus: mike started it by getting that reversal and making sure jun got arrested just before a long weekend, sabay exit with his family to watch paquiao. jun is not breaking any law by not posting bail, is he?

SHOCKING DISCLOSURE FROM THE WORLD BANK

“Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard!”

“Ginigisa kayo sa sariling ninyong mantika!”

A financial analyst of the World Bank would like to inform Filipinos about the money-making scheme of the Pidals, the proceeds from which go to the family’s secret account in Switzerland. He disclosed that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two sons of The Pidal Couple. Recent example is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw, where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO these individuals are? The Two PIDAL Sons who else?

Re: “if mike really wants to clear his name for the sake of his children, it’s simple: withdraw his support from the arroyo administration. ”

Fat chance, as you say Angela…

The man has has no courage. He possesses moral cowardice and that is the most horendous form of cowardice.

Hi Angela,
There cannot be a case of perjury if all you have is a “He said, she said.” Simple as that.

SC has held that to prove perjury, conflicting statements are not enough. There must be “other evidence” showing that one of the statements is false. Denial by another is not evidence that the accused made a false statement, and should not be the basis for the (lower) standard of proof of “probable cause.”

If a complaining witness’s goal is to protect his honor, he should sue on defamation. But then he runs up against the constitutional bar of the qualified privilege doctrine: the matter is of public interest, and the presumption of malice cannot be held against the accused. That makes the defamation case very weak.

The criminal charge is bailable, so it is a circus of sorts if the accused stays in jail for publicity.
