Napoles is a perplexity herself. Imagine she was economical with the truth behind all the scams she had devised herself and by her surreptitious mentors. At first, she wanted to look in the clear, well-intentioned and straightforward, while appearing on TV, comely and poised. Of course, it is her right to do so. After all, she is a private citizen. But later she came forth to bear out what she knows, perverting representatives and senators and even the Catholic Church. Now she is a lying detriment.
Having professed her innocence before the senate, Napoles with her new testimony now bamboozles the Filipino. Her credibility is lost, her face pinched and drawn as she goes deathly pale. Everyone thinks of her as a liar and a cheat. Well, she only has herself to blame. Had she told the truth before the Senate, then she could have blown up a blast in the government. She could have dishonoured the honourable criminals.
Then the Napolist began to filter through to the DOJ and some others. The confusion got underway. Why was it Napoles wasn’t quick and confident about incriminating her accomplices? Has she passed over some for reason that she and her family could be bumped off anytime or at some point?
Now the Napolist is sanitised. It has become beyond belief: why are some senators drawn in and some left out in the cold, based on whistle-blowers’ list? For what? Anyway, I hope Napoles has substantiations for all the people she has embroiled in controversy and dishonour. Otherwise, all of this is all her way to mess up the truth to flummox the Filipino. If no one will be indicted, then indeed the Napoles thing is just a show set up to harass and embarrass the opposition and undesirable allies. And thus, she and her family and the whistle-blowers deserve to be sent down.
But I hope, too, that the Napoles thing is not a planned controversy for 2016, to disconcert the plans of some to run for president, or for vengeance for whatsoever – political or personal.
The PDAF scam expose is a bitter taste of truth that the impoverishment of millions of Filipinos is due to the greed and materialism of some representatives and senators. They have no respect for trustworthiness and decency when they secretly appropriated the money intended for the Filipino. That’s why a lot of representative and senators put themselves up for the posts because of the contentious PDAF, which is like a windfall, a gold mine – a secret trove that conceitedly bares their spurious bigheartedness and altruism before the illiterate and the unwitting.
I hope that all the evidence of the Napolist will be brought together soon so that the 2016 and beyond will be the years for squeaky-clean representatives and senators. And all the guilty politicians should be condemned and mortified by displaying their photographs and videos of them at malls and at museums and at schools, with captions or descriptions reminding everyone how immoral, unethical, dishonest, crooked, shady, and fraudulent these politicians are. A book titled ‘Napolist’ is also worthwhile, for children to bury themselves in for them to learn something vicariously – and perhaps with crisp resentment and aversion in their realisation. Only then we can say that we are all serious about our advocacy against corruption.
