Manny Villar has said a few times that the camp of Sen. Noynoy Aquino is desperate. I wonder why he keeps saying that when Noynoy is ahead in surveys. If you’re ahead, what is there to be desperate about?
Yet, Villar’s Nationalista Party is the one that released a bogus report purportedly coming from Ateneo de Manila University attesting that Noynoy has an unstable mind. And Villar kept on harping about it even if the report was proven to be false.
Then there was a rumor –it’s not difficult to quess who started it– that Aquino had an epilepsy attack during one of his campaign rallies.
The latest Villar gimmick was to allow media to interview his ailing 86 year old mother who, in front of cameras, began shedding tears and saying she was hurt by all the bad publicity her son was getting. Then the cameras showed Villar’s siblings angry at all and sundry for what their brother is going through.
Susmaryosep!
The only person the Villar exended family should blame is Manny Villar himself. When you prop up your campaign with lies, you will be found out. This is simply what had happened. Never mind the monicker, “Villaroyo,” that was tagged on Villar. That may have been uncalled for and could have been dismissed easily. But when you fail to face questions from fellow senators about a suspicious transaction, you’re hiding something. When you exploit the death of a brother and now an ailing mother to try to save a campaign, you’re shameless. These smack of desperation.
Now there are reports emerging of other questionable Villar dealings. Villar has denied them. The thing is, when you start the ball rolling with lies, no one is going to believe you anymore even if you’re telling the truth.
So Villar knows he is losing his grip on his dream of becoming the next President of the republic.
The problem is, he’s getting desperate and desperate men can become dangerous.
