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.

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.

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

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.”

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.”
