Fantasies And Realities

In his 01 December 2011 column on the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Rigoberto Tiglao paints a poignant picture of the legal history of Hacienda Luisitita. But true to his nature as a Gloria Arroyo apologist, Tiglao deftly angles the issue of agrarian reform towards the current plight of his puppet master. In the column, he suggests that vindictiveness is the motive behind the conspiracy to discredit Chief Justice Renato Corona. He also tries to portray Mrs. Arroyo as a martyr being tormented by a vengeful mob.

Mr. Tiglao displays the same shallow mindedness of the people in Mrs. Arroyo's circle. He and his cohorts claim to understand the situation. I don't think they do. After so many years of wild delusions and fantasies, I can understand why they have a daft perception of reality (the nerve of Rep. Edcel Lagman comparing Gloria Arroyo to Aung San Suu Kyi). They are a sorry - at times, hilarious - group of buffoons. Like out-of-tune buskers in the city center, they have no cares of how people perceive them. Mr. Tiglao probably has it worst; being the mouthpiece - for a time - of the previous administration.

Yes, I am vengeful! Yes, I am vindictive! Nine years of teeth-gnashing frustration should justify it. Open your eyes Mr. Tiglao and behold the cesspool your benefactor created. Open your ears and you might hark upon the cries of the mothers and widows of the disappeared. Nine years of lies and pillage and torment warrants justice. The type of justice Chief Justice Corona is not capable of delivering. Yes, Hacienda Luisita is an issue. By all means, give the land to the poor farmers. I don't give a rat's behind if the Cojuancos go dirt poor. I am vindictive! I am vengeful! Arroyo should be hounded with the torment of a million demons. The real Filipinos of the real world demand it! Occupy Supreme Court if the need arises.
