on erap judgment...

acquitted on perjury, guilty on plunder case (40 years imprisonemnt.

...mahabang kwento pa rin ito dahil pwede pa rin sila mag-appeal hanggat hindi nakakarating sa supreme court (ang alam ko na may last say on any case). niweys, if we just look beyond the person of erap, and focus on the office the he held, as president of the philippines, wala naman duda talaga na guilty. mabait sya kung mabait, but he probably forgot, or didnt take seriously his post. kahit nga ordinaryong government employee na mahuling nagsusugal sa kalye during office hours, tiyak tanggal sa trabaho. yun pa kayang sa casino. well, those were just the little side stories. as president, so much was expected of him, and he failed it. but i also believe that he is also a nice person, nice friend, but that's beyond the issue.



but his unceremonious oust from his office was the final blow, not only for him, but for every filipino, the entire country, future generation, gma and future prez of the country. i remember king david, side story lang po, sa bible kasi pilit syang pinapapatay ng predecessor nya na si king saul. but king david never hurt or killed saul, because he knew that saul, kahit na anong failure nya as a king, was God's annointed one. the same with erap, i believe he was God's annointed prez. sana na lang, natapos ng maayos ang impeachment process, para mas legal ang pagpapaalis sa pwesto nya, because of the plunder and blunders that he committed.



but past is past, we just have to pray that our country be forgiven. we all have sinned, one way or another. but, i pray our country, in our time, will eventually hurdle all these things.
