Social and political criticisms
We are all aware that the difficulties were being blamed on LTO head Virgie Torres, who was alleged to be untouchable and "kaputukan" in the govt. And there was this USec Puno involvement in the HK nationals being killed in a hostage taking drama.
Some links:
From Get Real PHL on Usec Puno, a shooting buddy
From Philstar Life in a Pigsty on shooting buddies
From ABC CBN news - Sec Lima sees nothing wrong in being a shooting buddy
There were allegations that some officials stayed in their job despite not so stellar performance because of close association with the president (as shooting buddy)
We should be careful. Filosofo Tasio could be shot?!
