“is joey de venecia a credible witness? an admitted Ã¢â‚¬Å“formerÃ¢â‚¬Â drug addict, a loser with a motive to lie, a Ã¢â‚¬Å“businesmanÃ¢â‚¬Â trying to play in the major league on the strength of what? connection and name, right? why should i believe him just because solita monsod does?”

and the son of speaker jdv.

buencamino, in case you don’t know it, hearsay only applies to witness’ testimony, not to lawyer’s argument. a lawyer cannot be a witness and advocate at the same time. gets?

Bencard,

It was covered live. And those who didn’t watch, like you, are basing their conclusions based on second hand sources. Or as you lawyers say, HEARSAY!

buencamino, i don’t know about you but for me, mlq3 and inquirer .net are good enough sources when it comes to this possible “scandal”. as i recall telling you also, these sources, including the very “balanced” abs-cbn will not miss anything that suggests culpability of fg and his family, including the president, and plaster it all over the place. of all the vociferous commenters here, how many do you think have actually watched the senate “show”? its a good thing its not covered en toto a la c-span here. else, half-wit senators and presidential wannabes would expose to the nation their intellectual limitations and cluelessness and the self-righteous “revelations” of joeydv. one thing is sure, the hair dying and grooming salons would have a brisk business

Bencard,

I recall telling you that people like you who are thousands of miles away cannot really know what’s going on despite today’s technology. Your comments are based on second hand sources. Spins actually. Get someone to record those hearings for you. Watch them and then speak, You are not even a miron. You are a miron of the mirons.

Rego,

Why shouldn’t I be angered by that ? People who believe that basic rights are alienable are enemies of freedom and humanity. I will fight against people who subscribe to Austero’s philosophy. One dictatorship in a lifetime is too much for me.

Kiko Pangilinan’s wife is definitely smarter than him. as sharon’s lifeline in ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’, he gave her the wrong answer. It’s a good thing she answered differently.

jdv3 did very well in his appearance yesterday. not mediocre at all. he stumped jpe. jpe then mumbled something about letting the law speak for itself just to have the last word but he clearly was napahiya. you should listen in or watch these hearings when you can.

mar roxas did well too. gearing for his run in 2010.

pangilinan is an emabrassment to his malcolm hall roots. ate shawie could probably ask better questions.

bencard, the reason i liveblog is to let people get an ideaof what’s going on, you can conclude what you will from the totality of the proceedings. it’s in commentary that i can focus on what i want. specially since, watching, digesting, transcribing the gist of things for several hours at a stretch is, to put it midly, not very easy to do.

JDV III a junkie on drugs ? LOL on whoever came up with this
moronic suggestion Anyone else on steroids… pain killers?

In the end, I’d be interested to see if ANYONE WILL BE PROSECUTED in this scandalous imbroglio that stinks of economic sabotage, that bled the country with several hundred millions of dollars
