Once again, the quotable Senator Miriam Santiago
« on: September 27, 2013, 01:24:57 PM »
on the senate blue ribbon investigation:

Santiago, who is in leave from the Senate, expressed cynicism at the blue ribbon committee investigation of the PDAF scam involving businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles.

She said some of her colleagues, especially those who have their eyes on higher positions in the 2016 elections, were only after publicity.

“If we want to investigate, we should all apply as National Bureau of Investigation agents. An inquiry in aid of legislation means we ask the witnesses what law should be made so that this scam will not be repeated. But all that the whistle-blowers have to say are already in the papers. The public already knows what the whistle-blowers are saying in their affidavits. So why still conduct hearings,” she said.

;D :P

She said that what’s happening in the televised hearings is that “each [senator makes] his own scene” and that some senators end up as “drama queens.”

“The real story is this: 2016 is the keyword. We are having elections in 2016. Vice presidential [hopefuls] in the administration like holding blue ribbon hearings because the topic will be ‘talk of the town’ and most likely be televised. They just hog the limelight and then ask these questions that are absolutely fatuous as far as I am concerned,” she said.

;D :P

She referred to Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. and Estrada as possible candidates of the opposition for the vice presidency while Senators Francis Escudero III and Teofisto Guingona III are reportedly being eyed as vice presidential candidates of the administration.

“They’re wasting the people’s time in their pursuit of their vice presidential ambitions,” she added.

;D :P

that's why i've always believed that senate/congressional investigations (can't be helped; they love to investigate) should not be televised. :(

as fate would have it, the two potential opposition veep candidates are being accused of plunder while the two potential administration candidates are the investigators.  so much for these clowns. :(

As for Estrada’s ratting on the other senators for alleged misdeeds involving the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), or pork barrel, Santiago said, “It’s not right that you have a shotgun on your hand and shoot everyone on sight.”

“You were the ones who got the most, then why is he now pointing at us who did nothing wrong? What is your problem? He who comes to court must come to court with clean hands,” she said, pointing out that Estrada, in his privilege speech on Wednesday, never bothered to refute the allegations of plunder lodged against him.

“Silence means consent,” Santiago said.

What was happening, she added, was “protective coloration,” a form of squid-tactic defense.

“If you throw enough mud and everyone gets mud in the face then true criminals can no longer be distinguished,” Santiago added.

;D :P

Asked if she had a message for Estrada, Santiago replied, “If a sink hole decides to appear on Philippine territory, I hope he will be in the vicinity.”
