I haven’t read the 71 page decision acquitting Smith because it has not yet been published in any newspaper or blog that I know of. However from excerpts that were published I’m inclined to believe that the decision was penned by three “manangs.”

“Her going to Subic from far away Zamboanga with her stepsister, (with) two American friends whom they met only about three months earlier and accepting their offer of free hotel accommodations and other things as well—in her words, “to enjoy”—do not coincide with the demure provinciana lass we are talking about,” HOW IS A DEMURE PROVINCIANA LASS SUPPOSED TO BEHAVE?

“On hindsight, we see this protestation of decency as a protective shield against her own indecorous behavior,” INDECOROUS BEHAVIOR, WHAT IS DECOROUS BEHAVIOR?

“When a woman is drunk, she can hardly rise, much more stand up and dance, or she would just drop. This is a common experience among Filipino girls,” A COMMON EXPERIENCE AMONG FILIPINO GIRLS?

“The curious thing is that she danced non-stop to the urgent beat of rock and hip-hop music in an inebriated state for 15 minutes without stumbling clumsily on the floor.This gap in her narration with the malingering explanation that she was dizzy and could not remember is dubiously fanciful for being what the court perceptively describes as contrary to ordinary experience of man,” IT’S CURIOUS THAT THE GIRL COULD STILL DANCE WITHOUT FALLING ON HER FACE?

“Suddenly the moment of parting came and the Marines had to rush to the ship. In that situation, reality dawned on Nicole—what her audacity and reckless abandon, flirting with Smith and leading him on, brought upon her. HER AUDACITY AND RECKLESS ABANDON, FLIRTING WITH SMITH AND LEADING HIM ON, BROUGHT UPON HER. SHE ASKED FOR IT?

Dear Manangs,

Girls just wanna have fun without getting raped.
