Will the top court support Sen Grace Poe;s bid for presidency
From Philstar - SC to vote separately on residency and citizenship issues
This post happened to discuss after business matters were taken up, about the Presidential election. This post hastened to say that Binay could be the next president (which favors him because he supports the said candidate, and they have good relationship as a businessman in Makati) and that Bongbong who has remarkably improved his leadership, speech, behavior, knowledge would be most likely to be the next vice president. (He was in our town this afternoon and many admired the young Marcos for his speech and presentation of platform of govt.)
Our conversation diverted to Sen Grace Poe's disqualification case, and he happened to attend the oral arguments at the SC, the first time he ever was in the August Hall. He remembered clearly two things:
1. That in the oath of allegiance taken by the good Senator, (which is prescribed by law to re attain the Filipino citizenship under the dual citizenship law) the good Senator mentioned that she was ...born to. (.......?) where as a matter of fact, her current story is that she is a foundling!!!. There is perjury or outright lie being committed here and totally unacceptable for someone who is going to be a president. We hear of story as to who her real parents are and where she was really born
2. That the defense of ....she did not know, can not be held as an excuse, Ignorance of the law excuses no one especially for some one whose main duty is to defend and preserve the law of the land as the chief executive.
He wonders why this is not mentioned in the press, when there was huge contingent of the press at the said hearing..Maybe that was meant not to disgrace Grace. He noted that the justices have manok. The one who questioned the oath of allegiance was against the Senator. Some justices have GP as their Manok.
On this basis, the good Senator can be disqualified. "Sorry was a very strong case against GMA" in the Hello Garci election scandal.
In the words of many, there is a great novela unfolding here, like the return of the Marcoses at the Palace. So many intrigues, eg that administration is really supporting GP instead of MR in view of the last place of the good Secretary in the surveys. What happens if the the DNA test of FM and GP turns out to be positive. Ang saya ng Pilipinas....!! Maybe the justices will decide that it is not fun anymore.
So what happens to the strong wave of support for her. If she is DQd finally what happens to votes in her favor. If she does not speak, the vote goes to Mar. If she endorses these to Binay (which she wont because she signed a recommendation to file case vs Binay after the Senate hearing) then Binay would win.
What do you think?
