Who said PCGG's Ricardo Abcede is not partisan Arroyo hack?

He's one of the PCGG commissioners that is subject of an arrest warrant from the SEnate. So, how do you like the Camry, Mr. Commish?

Read this partisan rant from PCGG's commissioner Rick Abcede last oct. 2005 and you tell me he's not a hack for GMA.

A COMMISSIONER from the Presidential Commission on Good Government, which was created by the very first executive order she issued as chief executive in 1986, yesterday lashed at former President Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino for asking President Arroyo to make the "supreme sacrifice" of resigning her post.

Commissioner Ricardo Abcede, who said he was exercising his right to free expression, likened Mrs. Aquino, Senate President Franklin Drilon, former Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr., his son Rep. Teofisto Guingona III, and resigned Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman – all of whom are calling for Arroyo to step down – to "spoiled chopsuey."

"Ang oposisyon ay parang panis na chopsuey, pinagsama-samang elemento na magkakalayo ang ideolohiya at relihiyon," he said at a press conference that was supposed to discuss the agency’s activities and the auction of the Marcos jewels.

Abcede called the Aquino administration as "one of the most corrupt regimes in Philippine history" due to the activities of the so-called "Kamag-anak Inc." which allegedly profited from many government deals.

He also called on the former president to answer allegations that six to 10 pieces of diamonds, taken from MalacaƱang when the Marcoses fled in 1986, ended up in her and her daughter Ballsy’s possession; and why the Cojuangco-owned sugar estate Hacienda Luisita has not been placed under the agrarian reform program.

Abcede called Drilon a "hypocrite," Guingona and disqualified presidential candidate Ely Pamatong "pseudo-nationalists," Soliman a "traitor," former President Joseph Estrada and his son, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada "plunderers."

He also lumped together leftist-Representatives Satur Ocampo, Teodoro CasiƱo, Crispin Beltran, running priest Fr. Robert Reyes and televangelist Eduardo Villanueva as "communists with godless ideology."

Abcede said the snap elections being proposed by the anti-administration group is nothing but destabilization and its sole aim is to boot out Arroyo. "Snap election, parehong aso, iba lang ang kwelyo. Isa lang ang gusto nila, magresign si Presidente Arroyo o tanggalin nila sa pwesto sa anumang paraan," he said. – Francis Earl Cueto

Dancing with the enemy is an act of treason. He like his master in the palace has no delicadeza. Of the commissioners in the PCGG, he is obviously rhe most corrupt. Sen. Salonga has clarified that EO no. 1 cannot be used as a means to prevent accountability. He stressed that the PCGG should make public its work.

John,

I read your post back at Ellen's. Mong Palatino was a victim over at my blog. Try to trace back the comment and check the IP address. Gari of Bangketa Republique helped me trace the impostor. I have exposed them over at my blog. Maybe he can help you out.

nah, it's okay schums. I remember ellen using the username "ellen" whenever she's posting in my blog.

the guy/girl here OTOH, is using "life worth living" as usernam.

I sent ellen an email to ask her if she's "life worth living" and the one who left that comment on my blog. hinihintay ko na lang ang sagot niya.
