It would be a week from now and the people’s singular chance to write what they want for the country happens.
And in the last days of the campaign, expect the heat to escalate, because right now, we have not seen the toilet bowl flung as yet.
At least, the past few days have been so revealing.
In no way will a desperation move to dislodge the presidential front runner be a job of a hao Hsiao, as can be seen by the blatant use of exactly the same tactics which this government used on its perceived enemies.
Take this for example.
When then Supreme Court Justice Renato Corona awarded the P1.3 billion Hacienda Luisita to some 6,000 farmers, did we forget that bank documents just suddenly showed up.
Now, these documents seemed spurious, but nobody asked why and how somebody could just pick a bank account record and put it out.
Succeeding bank accounts which suddenly and interestingly opened by themselves to the public revealed Corona had allegedly $130 million dollars in foreign banks.
Not that it was entirely true, or Corona could have been romancing cold metal bars instead.
While CJ Corona got impeached, courtesy of the “honorables” who were given millions in fattened pork barrel, but no court has ever got him jailed for keeping a lifetime of savings.
Corona died a few days ago, confident he has finally rested his case.
Ergo, everything else has been a perception game tied to a P1.3 billion sugarcane plantation tilled by 6000 farmers, and a timed Malacanang controversy called the DAP.
Earlier, there was former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, whom the official residence along the Pasig River accused of plunder over the P366 million Philippine Charity Sweepstakes funds.
Other than the inconvenience of being detained at the Veterans Memorial medical Center and the pestering illness, the courts have yet to finally determine her culpability.
And then, when vice Presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos surged high, all the administration forces and their allies had their cannons all shooting volleys at the former presidential son.
On these three cases, two have their specific peculiarities.
CJ Corona and now presidential run-away leader Rodrigo Duterte have suddenly become trial by publicity victims courtesy of illegally obtained documents, which, with expert scrutiny would reveal as fake.
Bank secrecy law was desecrated in both and in many other cases and pick on the Trillianes lie? When were you, born yesterday?
While patterns interestingly pop in CJ Corona and Duterte’s cases, the unmistakable link of an idiot whose demolition job operation is as flimsy as a bald head with not enough nutrients to support a hairis rather telling.
Too bad, the script they used in Bongbong Marcos, Gloria Arroyo, and CJ Corona have all been used, the uncanny semblance is unbelievable.
It tells rather that whosoever directs the demolition job against Duterte has run out of good scripts.
The problem of these run-down plots: when people start memorizing the lines, chances are, they all too know how they can all come up with a surprising end, the director can not do anything about.
