Kaban ni D_BystandeR: NABANHAW ANG GILUMUTAN NANG ASUNTO BATOK NI KANHI MAYOR ALVIN

Nobody would ever think, even in his wildest dream that a case that took place 30 years ago will finally get the "go signal" from the Supreme Court to proceed. But people familiar with the intricacy of the law and with how it operates can only marvel with near disbelief of how amazing it is for what they call "the long arm of the law" to finally resonate with resounding impact. The case, in my personal belief, could not anymore mean anything drastic against the older Alvin Garcia who for now, as news reports would have it, is keeping himself busy attending to their farms in southern Cebu and trying to flex his muscles from time to time by playing golf. At least, even at his present age of 68, a man sometimes has to face something as a result of his actions during his younger days who was probably still driven by his belief that being in the crest of his acquired political power he can do anything he wants to promote his political dreams.
