The Filipino people have already seen different witnesses presented by Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson in the Senate hearing regarding graft and corruption pin pointing Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Mike Arroyo. While everyone is busy reaching out to the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, Ping has been busy training new witnesses for his allegations in his recent privilege speeches.
Ping’s school of thought has apparently been creating the best witnesses in town. His students undergo extensive training, practiced and molded in how to become excellent actors so they would indeed look credible in what they are saying. Starting from Rodolfo Lozada, Dante Madriaga, and Leo San Miguel testifying in the investigation of the NBN-ZTE, he welcomes his new graduate, Blanquita “Babes” Pelaez.
In 1996, Pelaez and Lacson had a misunderstanding with regard to a handcuffs contract. She claimed that Lacson blocked the payment after she refused to follow his instruction to fabricate charges against three former government officials along with a number of PNP officers whom he considered enemies. It was followed then by Pelaez looking for and finding proof that Lacson is wealthy enough to pay the damages she incurred. She was able to expose Lacson’s assets which summed up to a very sizeable amount of wealth, but may not be as questionable because he was at that time, PNP Chief after all.

The credibility of exposing the truth is left under the hands of Pelaez. Yet, how can be she credible enough if she was charged with estafa and found to be guilty a few years back? Would she still be trustworthy after changing her mind towards the case she filed against Lacson? How can be she so honest to tell the truth when everything around her seems to be pure lies?
Lacson would of course allow Pelaez at any time to come out and reveal information that would help him clear things out. For what issue to be tackled, no one knows for sure. The enemies of the past becoming best of friends are surprisingly not new in politics as Lacson and Pelaez have apparently mended fences and teamed up to expose something greater than their previous altercation. Lacson had allegedly offered a huge amount to Pelaez wherein she could not resist forgiving and forgetting the issues between them and indeed the reason behind for the sudden friendship that developed. What happened here and between have been closed off to public view and we are supposed to just forget. For now, people will forget as they eagerly wait for the right time when Pelaez would expose her masterfully trained essential information… all for Lacson’s cause, of course.
