We see images of a political fighter seemingly cornered being hysterical though still standing tall but asking the opponent to stop and have her jailed.
There is nobody like her: a tactician, an academician, very courageous, like a lioness, very bright and intelligent having made her mistake in the realm of power and politics. She played right into the hand of her opponent and the end game is perhaps she will be unseated in her present position, disgraced and shamed
She should have stopped earlier, licked her wounds and retreated.
On one hand, she presented her case to investigate the killings and the war vs drug. But she lost her bearing and strayed elsewhere to destroy the seat of power. It turned out her witness was not very credible: plenty of inconsistency, uncorroborated statement, and worst of all. It cost her committee chairmanship. This coupled with her series of walking out, lessened her stature and her followers/admirer.
What is worse is the battle at the other house where interlligent and coherent and cogent witnesses piled up testimonial evidence against her. Her former closed in security driver, videos, Generals, subordinates and so far, these can only be denied and no counter evidence has been denied. And where is the missing P300 million. Those who testified against her today were even more damning and damaging to her person.
As she said to Pres Duterte, the EJK was not caused by her but brought forth by his administration, as the testimony vs her was not created by the witnesses but emanated from her actions.
It was not a very good sight to see her speak on the dignity and rights of person and women yesterday at a CHR forum With rights come great responsibility to be a great person also. And to come forth with clean hands
