I don’t mean to be judgemental, but Tessie Aquino-Oreta’s public apology comes out as one of those slick political ads. In other words, the apology appears as fake as GMA’s when she apologized about the ‘Hello Garci’ conversation.
The question also begs to be asked: Why only now?
Only one answer comes to mind: Because she wants to win the election!
Filipino politicians will do anything to get that vote. For Oreta it’s an apology with a bit of bad acting.
She claims, of course, there was nothing political about it, but that ad keeps on being shown like a bad commercial. The best way to have done it was call a press conference, apologize and move on.
Even if she was sincere, the ad comes too late and definitely smacks of politics. So, if she has not thought about that, at the very least this only means Oreta acts on impulse and doesn’t think about the consequences of her action, just like that day she danced on national TV.
Do you want a senator like that?

hi! you might want to check out the blog of pastor joey bonifacio on tessie oreta: http://joeybonifacio.multiply.com/journal/item/105. Here’s an excerpt: Is Tessie really sorry? I believe she is. All she has done was make public what I have seen her do in private in the last 4 years.
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven — for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.†Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.†Luke 7:47-48

“…Made public what I have seen her do in private in the last 4 years”? Duh … who has she offended? The public, right? So she should have apologized to the public the last 4 years. Why only now did she apologize publicly? One answer: it’s election time! The problem with Christian pastors is, when it comes to influential people who come into their lives, naivete takes the place of common sense.
