An alibi may soon easily make the two Ampatuans walk free.

The Justice Secretary of the Republic of the Philippines made a resolution over the weekend telling his state prosecutors to drop the charges against Zaldy “Puti” Ampatuan and Mayor Akmad “Tato” Ampatuan Sr. in connection the Maguindanao Massacre for lack of evidence.  The big problem is that Justice Secretary Agra made the decision without consulting the very people who are handling the case, believed on an alibi instead of the statements of a “star witness” and arrogantly acted like a courtroom judge and rendered the decision of who is innocent and who is guilty on the most gruesome killings of journalists and political opponents in the Philippines.

Lady Justice may have been forced to peek from her eye cover to see who this very confident cabinet secretary is.

And it seems that Sec. Agra is so confident that he may even walk on burning charcoals just to prove that he is right and his decision came from the holy mountains and written on stone tablets.

So many people and legal experts had already seen this coming; a whitewash if not the filing of weaker cases against the Ampatuans; staunch allies of the cutest president Gloria Arroyo who delivered the votes for her and her senatoriables in Maguinadanao.

Sec. Alberto Agra said that he has bought the alibi presented by the two Ampatuans specifically Zaldy Ampatuan who was in Davao during the massacre.

If I may, Gloria Arroyo by the way was not present in Maguindanao when cheating during the 2004 elections happened; Osama Bin Laden was not piloting the planes during the 9-11 attacks when they destroyed the World Trade and kill thousands; and Adolf Hitler was hiding on his bunker in Berlin when Gestapo exterminated millions of Jews during the last days of the war as part of their retaliatory actions. As what Atty. Harry Roque said, an alibi is the weakest defense, but this administration has been the epitome of making the craziest alibis; and that they are patronizing their own.

Now, the mouthpiece of the Palace who is by the way an American citizen, said that her cute boss should be sparred from this issue as she has totally nothing to do with the decision.  Come again?  Cabinet secretaries are alter-egos of the President if not alter-over-inflated egos of the President and whatever her secretaries do they reflect the very policies of her administration.  Well, that is again one crazy alibi from the windmill of lies which they think we would easily buy.

The biggest problem in the world today is when intelligent people act like fools.

I will not wonder if soon the murder and the weaker rebellion cases against the Ampatuans will just end up with a jaywalking violation.  And we know very well that jaywalkers in the Philippines go unpunished especially when you’ve got one good alibi.

Share your thoughts and comment, unless you’ve got one good alibi.
