Neal Cruz: Let PET decide Legarda poll protest to end crisis

Neal Cruz says let the Presidential Elections Tribunal (PET) decide Legarda poll protest to end the GLORIAGATE crisis.

I like Neal, but I disagree with him.

Kung nandaya si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, why the hell should Noli replace him? Shouldn't there be new elections instead? It's like saying nandaya si Marcos, therefore dapat si Arturo Tolentino ang papalit. (Or kung nandaya rin si Arturo Tolentino, yung sumunod sa line-of-succession ang papalit sa kanila. Nuts.)

Hindi ba nung may dayaan sa Ukraine, nagkaroon ulit ng bagong election instead of promoting Yanukovych's deputy PM to the top job?

Isa pa, if PET delivered a stupid and partisan decision re FPJ's protest, what makes you think PET (which is composed of members of the Arroyo's Supreme Court) will do it right this time with Loren's election protest?

You yourself said in your article na parang biased rin ang housePET ni Arroyo:

The trouble is that Legarda's election protest at the PET is moving too slowly to make the paranoids suspect that the justices are too old, too lazy, too overloaded or purposely slowing down the recount to favor De Castro. At the rate the protest is moving, the term of office would be over before the real winner is known, as has happened in many other poll protests. And that doesn't solve our present problem, does it?
