Bagama’t matagal nang ipinuwera sa opposition bloc, posibleng kaharapin pa rin ni Sen. Edgardo "Edong" Angara ang pagpapatalsik sa minorya matapos iturong promotor sa pambabraso para bumawi ng lagda ang ilang pro-impeachment congressmen.
Ayon kay Senate minority floor leader Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel Jr., susuriin ng kanilang bloke ang naging partisipasyon ni Angara sa biglaang pag-atras at pagbawi ng pirma ni Cong. Rodolfo Agbayani, kasunod ang alegasyong pinuwersa ito ni Angara bilang pangulo ng Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP).
Maging sa text message, kumalat ang pakikipagsabwatan ni Angara kay dating Cong. Miguel Romero, itinalaga ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo bilang governor ng Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).
Isang opposition senator ang nagkumpirmang ginamit ni Angara si Romero para kausapin ang lahat ng mga kapartido na bawiin ang kanilang pirma subalit pumalag si Laguna Cong. Benjamin Aggarao at napapayag si Agbayani.
Hindi naman ito ikinagulat nina Sens. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson at Sergio Osmeña III kasunod ang rasong matagal nang nasa administration bloc o kaalyado ni Mrs. Arroyo si Angara at hindi bago ang pagpapagamit nito sa Malacañang.
Traydor na palace mole yang Angara na yan.
More from Lito Banayo:
Meanwhile, on August 26, when Benjamin Agarao of Laguna’s fourth district was bent on making public his vote for impeachment, a voluble Mike Romero, apostol sin duda of Edgardo Angara, tried to persuade one of the few remaining LDP’s in Congress not to push through. But Benjie is made of sterner stuff.
At the time, Benjie did not even know that Mike, former congressman of Negros Oriental, everybody’s hail fellow Mike, had already been appointed by Glory-be as her new governor of the Development Bank of the Philippines. But he was certain Ed had sent Mike to talk to him.
On Thursday evening, the first of September, someone spotted Ed Angara, Mike Romero and that pre-med graduate who is now our national security adviser, Norberto Gonzales, in a quiet huddle.
Meanwhile too, the harassed middle forces, the oppressed lumpen, the idealistic men in uniform, the conscience-examining bishops and the unyielding faithful, all those who feel robbed and insulted that evil reigns where good must, in a land robbed of hope and now robbed of self-respect, await. Only their numbers will tell.
