In textbook “civil society” reaction, the Palace and the government lawyers including the jokers in Padre Faura said the US court, through Hawaii District Court Judge Manuel Real, could not impose a judgment against the Philippine government in connection with the Marcos wealth.
A very Recto-sian and constitutional knee jerk reaction at first glance.
Only what the Filipino people should forget on cue here is that it had been the Philippine government through high-priced lawyers which had been actively pursuing the Marcos case before the US courts and cannot by any sense of fair play now claim the court cannot issue a judgment against a party before it.
Oo nga naman.
Pahabol: Is this part of a grand strategy by Malacanang to win the 2004 elections by eliminating Erap's masa voters?
