Was President Noynoy Aquino being rude when he bashed Chief Justice Renato Corona a few days ago? No! There was nothing wrong with what he did and Mr. Corona had it coming. Some of our half-witted kababayans have been saying otherwise. Spin doctors are now trying to twist the issue by portraying the Chief Justice as a victim of verbal abuse. And it is beginning to look like they are gaining some mileage. What the hell? I say, the President should be lauded for having the balls to say what he said. The timing couldn't have been any better. Mr. Corona deserved to hear the message first hand; and he got it.
Have you people forgotten about the shenanigans from our recent past? The NBN-ZTE deal? The fertilizer fund scam? The overpriced Diosdado Macapagal Avenue? Do you still remember Jonas Burgos? What about Jun Lozada? The Morong 43? Executive Privilege? I'm pretty sure these are still fresh in your memories. And do you recall the names Garci, Joc-joc Bolante, Borjer Abalos, and Berdugo Palparan? Do you remember when corruption was the norm and good deeds were punished? Do you remember when investigations on the thievery were whitewashed in favor of the privileged and the truth was suppressed?
With a change in leadership, it is only reasonable that the injustice of the past get rectified. The guilty should be held accountable and put behind bars. This is what the honorable Chief Justice and his lackeys are trying to prevent. Their recent actions reveal an intention to conceal the truth further. Mr. Corona is using his respectable office to make rational what is demented; making the crooked, benevolent. For this, he should reap condemnation and not sympathy; ostracism and not allegiance; punishment and not praise.
President Aquino did not err in his decision to confront the Chief Justice at the summit. There is no such thing as "wrong place and wrong time" in doing the right thing. In the pursuit of truth and justice, anyone who stands in the way with the intent of impeding it is roadkill. There are no grey areas here; only black and white. Mr. Corona was put in his place; and rightly so. Don't let his cool demeanor fool you. He is one cheeky chameleon.
