In national TV commenting about ZTE-NBN deal whistle blower Jun Lozada’s arrest for perjury, Justice Sec. Raul Gonzalez commented that the next thing that Lozada can do is apply for sainthood at the Vatican. He said this, of course, sarcastically because Lozada refused to make bail as a sign of protest at this latest government harassment.
In trying to be cute and witty, Gonzalez only manages to look senile. For a Justice Secretary, the least he could do is show impartiality. At best he should try to dispense wisdom and not sound stupid. After all, he is supposedly more mature than many Filipinos. Wouldn’t he do well if our youth can look up to him?
But, alas, what can we expect from a GMA appointee? The President’s men are chosen mostly for their loyalty, especially in a delicate position such as Justice secretary.
So we just need to grin and bear it whenever Gonzalez opens his mouth. Looking at the bright side, however, Gonzalez is another solid reason why GMA nor any of her lackeys shouldn’t be given another term.
