Impeach rap filer seen as admin stalking horse:
THE United Opposition (UNO) said President Arroyo’s allies in the House should show delicadeza by not endorsing the impeachment complaint submitted by lawyer Oliver Lozano yesterday because doing so would only reinforce the belief that a cover-up is in the works to sabotage the investigation into the "Hello Garci" conversations.
House minority leader Francis Escudero, UNO secretary general, warned the majority in Congress that endorsing Lozano’s complaint would only allow a "ridiculous" impeachment proceeding where majority congressmen, the President’s allies, would endorse the complaint and either go through with the impeachment process or recommend its dismissal.
"Nasa interest ng bawat isa sa atin, majority, minority, oposisyon o administrasyon na dapat maging katanggap-tanggap at kapani-paniwala ang proseso (ng impeachment) at kapag administrasyon ang nag-file o nag-endorse nito, ang mangyayari lamang ay magiging katawa-tawa ang sitwasyon, kung saan kakampi at kapartido ni Pangulong Arroyo ang mag-eendorso, kakampi at kapartido niya ang magpapa-dismiss din nito at kung ito’y matutuloy, kakampi at kapartido din niya ang uusig kay Pangulong Arroyo," Escudero said.
Jueteng Whitewash on, Says opposition:
SEN. Lito Lapid, chairman of the Senate committee on games, amusement and sports, yesterday endorsed the termination of the investigation on the jueteng scandal that has rocked Malacañang, eliciting cries of "whitewash" from opposition senators.
