I wouldn't believe them, of course. Obviously, if it were true that all the parties were faultless, then no problem would have arisen. Somebody had to be lying. More realistically, everyone involved had to be holding back part of the truth. And so it is with the Singson revelations and the Erap protestations of innocence.
Somebody has to be lying.
More realistically, the parties involved are holding back part of the truth. Mind you, I'm trying to look at things from the P.O.V. of a Filipino public grown cynical from years and years of unproven accusations and whitewashed scandals. I have a feeling that average folks are raising one eyebrow at all of the righteous indignation being displayed by the accusers of President Erap, at the same time that the other eyebrow shoots up at his declaration of absolute innocence. But they must ask everyone who steals or extorts or asks for a bribe to also resign. I didn't know.
