Blood bath for Bolante?

Raul Gonzales strikes again. “We went to great lengths in saving these OFWs who are in trouble. In some instances, the government helped in putting up blood money. So we owe also Joc-Joc Bolante the same kind of treatment without giving political color to that," he said.

Pero bakit kay Michael Ray Aquino, porke nakulayan na taga-oposisyon, eh hindi tinulungan? Bakit si Jocjoc?

Hmmnnnn......

*****

For having a canceled visa, Bolante is asked to bail US $100 thousand or PhP 5.2 million ($1 = P52)! Grabe naman. Ganun ba kamahal ang visa?

Pero teka, according to Gonzales we should raise that amount for Bolante? Sino si Bolante? Ano siya? Where was he when we needed him most – that is, when we need light for our dark truth? Di ba nagtatago siya? Ba't ngayon na kailangan niya ng tulong saka siya lumabas? At, po-protektahan pa ng gobyerno ni Gloria?

Hmmnnn......

Which way to find the truth?

Inquirer's Headline: CBCP shuns impeachment.
Philippine Star: CBCP: No to impeachment
Malaya: Bishops doubt impeach drive is way to truth
Manila Bulletin: CBCP not inclined to favor impeachment

This being the case, which then is the way to find the truth? Aber nga, aber?

With the CBCP's decision, many are starting to think that the bishops are indeed receiving manna from Malacanang. Paano ba naman, karamihan sa mga obispo ay shy magsalita. Is it because their mouths are full?

Why offer the money to the bishops?

Headline from Inquirer: CBCP told to beware of Arroyo gifts.
Sagot naman ng Malacanang: There is nothing wrong with donations to Catholic Bishops.

Haaaaaa????????

Explanation ni Mike Defensor: No bishop was bought or bribed or was given personal favor. Whatever help was offered, was for the people, to alleviate poverty and to solve the problems that they are facing in their respective areas.

Assuming, arguendo, that it is true:

1. Why offer the money to the bishops? In the very first place, the government is facing budgetary deficits. So why offer money to the bishops?
2. Why offer the money to the bishops? Poverty alleviation and problem solving at the grassroots is the duty of the government and its extension agencies.
3. Why offer money to the bishops? Are the bishops the extension of the government?
4. Why offer money to the bishops? How can the people know huch much is spent to what?
5. Why offer money to the bishops? Now that the bishops are starting to talk against Arroyo?
