..the pimentels!
I used to admire the Sr. Pimentel. He was my choice to replace Ramos in 1997. I looked up at him as a principled statesman and respected political leader until he joined Estrada’s bandwagon last 2004 Presidential Elections and openly castigated Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Even more disgusting was when his Jr. decided to run for the Senate in 2007 Elections and insisted he won by technicality. He turned to be a scheming traditional politician.
His joining Estrada’s camp was a complete disappointment because he was a major player in Estrada’s ouster and a prominent supporter of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo when she took over the Presidency. I could have forgiven him when he turned against Arroyo at the height of the Impeachment Trial but not when he openly supported Estrada’s machinations and bad mouth as if he was a”holier than thou”.. Arroyo’s supposed cheating was never proven while Estrada is in jail.. It is so unthinkable for a supposed principled man to eat his words.
My disappointment turned to hatred when he allowed his son Koko to run for the senate. How could a man who hated Gloria for her supposed cheating ever allowed the chance for two Pimentels in the Senate? and they are both Aquilino! As if there are no other Filipinos who can do the job for the Philippines.
The Sr and Jr gagging out on Migz is another mud on their faces. Do they have proof that Migz’s parents dined out with the Comelec Chairman? Fallacy! They have been so desperate that they making fools out of many filipinos!
