The recent news that several actresses, personalities have been issued subpoenas in connection with Dermcare scam (Neri Miranda has been jailed) punishable under the Revsied Security Act. The alleged defense is that they are mrerely product endorsers and are/or franchisee.
One is a sexy star, and the other one was a former senator
The son of former Governor of a SL province figured in such a situation but we understand, he was exonorated. Same situation
As accessories or joint and severally responsible? Can they be charged?
It is not a wise idea to run for a public office if you have a lot of negative data in your lifetime
As I was scrolling through a social media, this post was inadvertently brought to videos about the current candidate brouhaha. The candidate, trailing in the survey, who attacked the frontrunner was subjected to many attacks on his personal circumstances. Allegations were made: (in a number of videos)
1. To pay for unpaid plane tickets which ran into millions
2. To pay for wages of drivers abroad;
3. To mind the children he fathered with other women (than his wife) in the Mindanao area
He was thus featured as hypocrite for being man of bible and being dishonest and immoral
Expect a lot of dirt to be thrown back to you if you made personal attacks vs the opponent
His close friend predicted he will be poor again for having squandered his PHP in this election.
Somebody should have advised him. It is too late to back out. He may lose. And he committed a lot of mistake. He may even face cases for alleging certain candidates to be involved in drugs, that is why the drug lords are active again
In a strange turn of events, after Sen Alan Peter Cayetano delivered his privileged speech, Sen Manny Pacquiao moved that the chairmanship of the committee on Justice and Human rights, formerly headed by a lady senator, be declared vacant. This afternoon, the position was replaced by Sen. Richard Gordon. Tomorrow, the lady senator will deliver her privileged speech; Tomorrow also, will face an inquiry at the Congress where 30 witnesses who include 12 top personalities will testify her links with the drug trade.
The lady senators told the reporters that there are all lies.
The main complaint vs the way the current chairman has handled her inquiry are:
1. The alleged agenda according to the supporter of the president is to discredit the efforts of the administration and probably have him removed In the process, the country has been put into bad light as was the Recent Time Magazine feature on Philippines anti illegal drug war
2. The Matobato testimony was not on the agenda and not related to the current alleged EJ under the Du30 administration
3. The witness Matobatos credibility is dubious
4. The alleged partiality of the Chair Lady as a chairman: cutting off questioning by the fellow Senators, leading questions on the witness, lawyering for the witness and many more.
This would be a difficult time for the lady senator for being reckless and fighting the highest leader of the land, and not being Ms Clean herself, as she investigates a wrongdoing. She must face the muic and face the consequences.
I thought it was the intention of the l987 constitution to end the perpetuation of power in one person or one family. I could be wrong. Hence the limited term of office, and only 3 consecutive reelection.
However, political dynasties are the norm rather than the exception.
What do you think? Is nothing wrong with political dynasties? Is the PHIL govt a democratic institution or monarchial...
