guilty

Former Phil. Pres. Joseph "Erap" Estrada
Guilty. But there's a long way to go actually. Erap's conviction (being found guilty of plunder by the Sandiganbayan, which slapped him a life sentence imprisonment) could well be reversed to acquittal by the Supreme Court. A minor error in the Sandiganbayan's decision is what the high court needs to quash today's verdict. That easy.
But who is laughing now? I was smiling when I heard the news this morning straight from GMA7's live coverage, but my smile was not for Erap's fate, but for what this country is actually capable of doing. It's a former president there it convicted. It's too good to be true, really.

i can't believe i'm saying this.
with this picture, naaawa ako sa kanya..
i agree that its kinda unfair that only erap was convicted.
i feel na puppet lang siya at na manipulate at na ilad sa mga banggiitang tae sa pulitika..
kawawa man
