Kaban ni D_BystandeR: SILA SI DRILON UG ESCUDERO MILIMULIMO SA TINUOD???

Senators Franklin Drilon and Francis Escudero, two leading LP senators of the administration are now in the defensive trying to deodorize their blatant abuse of power when bank accounts of VP Binay and those  identified with him as supporters were ordered "frozen" by CA in connection with a case filed by AMLC against Binay, et al. This AMLC was created by law in order to undertake surveillance of money laundering done by terrorists, drug syndicates, smugglers, etc., but now it is utilized by the P-Noy administration to dig into the financial bank accounts of their political  opponents to carry out their political persecution and to disable them to do  something for the well-being of their opposition activities. This is unprecedented in the political annals of our country. And they want to explain that AMLC is doing just ordinary things and Drilon and Escudero want to make a play of words claiming that VP Binay is not subjected to any kind of lawsuit to freeze his bank accounts but only to keep it on hold for 6 months. And they try to  mislead the people that VP Binay is not immune from lawsuits. How in the world can they afford to fool the people to accept their baseless stand, to test the waters, for they know they are not telling the truth. In 2013, Julia C. Abad was appointed by BS Aquino to become Executive Director of AMLC. She is the daughter of Budget Secretary Butch Abad who, reports indicated, was the "tutor" of Janet Lim-Napoles about how the PDAF scam came into existence. This P-Noy administration knows no limit to its blatant abuse of power and arrogance. And they are all doing this to make way for the obsession of P-Noy to make Mar Roxas his successor when he steps down from office in June 2016. But it will be an uphill climb for Mar Roxas to become a credible bet of the administration against VP Binay because in every poll survey Roxas is always seen at the bottom compared to VP Binay who always tops the list. And that is the reason now why P-Noy is moving heaven and earth to topple Binay's popularity with the ordinary people in the whole country by throwing everything to Binay including the "kitchen sink!" But God in His infinite goodness will not allow these people to succeed in their wicked attempt to put a good man down. Even King Herod of the biblical past who was considered wielding unlimited power during his time just like P-Noy today, ordered the most horrible massacre of infants two years old and below in his idea to kill the baby infant Jesus. But he failed in his demonic display of power and he died a horrible death where his body was eaten by worms even before he died. And BS Aquino who uses his power to persecute his political opponents will most likely suffer the same ignoble end like King Herod.

What can you expect from Drilon? He is expected to join the chorus of people known as political allies of P-Noy to join the caravan of those who paraded themselves with confusing placards to discourage VP Binay from pursuing his goal to run for the presidency in 2016 polls. As much as possible, Drilon can always be expected to follow the line of what P-Noy's "rah-rah boys" are now desperately doing to throw a monkey wrench on the path of Binay to ease him out of the  presidential election so that their only selected man to take over the reign of  power when P_Noy steps down from office is Mar Roxas. They must be moving heaven and earth to realize their goal. But will the courts using generally accepted norms of real justice and fairness allow this? The people are closely watching  their move!
