Kaban ni D_BystandeR: KATAW-ANAN ANG HINIKYARAY SA BAHO BATOK NI BINAY
It's funny to hear about
your penultimate post which clearly portrays your uneasiness about the series
of comments that we exchange with each other. Like what I heard from an old
saying, I am not in a position to bestow my judgment into whether Binay is
guilty or not. But let us wait for what the Ombudsman will have to say because it is in the process of
determining who is at fault or innocent based on what the evidence will hold in
the end when subjected to the acid test or whether it will be like a house of
cards that will just crumble to pieces because it does not hold water. But one
thing I know is that this senate investigation does not have the power to
declare anybody guilty because their purpose is only "in aid of
legislation." If, somehow, you are misled into believing that Binay is guilty, that's your problem. I
am not a lawyer but my eldest son is a smart lawyer and is in his law practice for almost
two decades now.
Footnote: This comment came out in connection with a Philstar news
item, headlined, "Probe PNP chief for graft," which appeared on
11/01/14. I was exchanging views with somebody posting his pen name as (bala_subas," and we happened
to be in a heated kind of discussion and he was on the offensive and me on the defensive
in the name of VP Binay. He finally wanted to trap me into giving my opinion as
to whether I believe Binay is guilty or not. But I refused to be cornered and
told him only the courts can declare if Binay is guilty or not. And he asked me
if I am a lawyer but in all honesty I told him I am not a lawyer but my eldest
son is a smart lawyer practicing law for almost decades now.
