as i write i keep on getting information that JocJoc Bolante will spill his guts when he faces the senate on thursday.

puhlease.

if he was gonna spill he would have done so a long time ago. his body language simply doenst suggest he will do that. 1st of all he’s hidden for 3 years or so. he fought off asylum. he came home and sought medical sanctuary from the same hospital where the president and her family gets their medical care. and he only agreed to face the senate after all legal remedies seemed lost to him already.

but you forget one thing—his rights to remain silent, against self incrimination and the various legal instruments the law provides like the right to privacy. already some have looked into possible coverage of bolante by the executive privelege.

sounds familiar? why not. he’s getting legal advice from the same lawyer who looked for jose pidal’s interests. this time around he’s being coached and rehearsed too by the establishment’s chief political operator.

so my guess is thursday’s testimony will be a dud. malacanan isnt even worried by it, with the president leaving for the US monday night. (if you prefer to be nasty—you might even say that shes after a photo opp with president obama—who continues to elude her. tan unsurprising turn of events when she cast her lot with john mccain and hillary clinton during the campaign. after all, the president will be in the obama-land of chicago)

my 2 cents worth is that political observers should be widening their eyes from a myopic view of the political situation. the president leaves as jocjoc takes the witness stand, which happens as the congress tackles the latest attempt to impeach the president (which i hear only has 13 lawmakers backing them—and that includes JDV)—which also happens as the lower house tackles charter change.

so many things happenning in the poltical arena its so easy to get lost—which works to the advantage of those who want an unpopular agenda sneaked into right under our noses. gee, wonder what that agenda is?! so observers! eyes on the ball. pick which is the biggest of them all.
