In The Hot Seat

Now the beans are spilled. Hot Senator Ping Lacson fulfilled his promise to reveal the true side of former President Erap Estrada. Perhaps his revelation will help solve the decades old Dacer-Corbito double murder case. Whatever his motivations are is beside the point. What is important is the uncovering of the truth of who the real master mind is. On why it is only now that the senator is talking, he alone knows. Anyway, it is better to be late than never.

Senator Lacson should know. He was the chief of the Philippine National Police and the head of the defunct PAOCTF when the murder happened. It is very sad, very disgusting, very nauseating that the very anti-crime office that is created to solve crimes is the one being implicated in the commission of a crime. Hopefully, it will be the turn of ex-convict president Estrada to talk. It is not enough for him to just give a blanket denial. He wants to be president again but he must first clear his name or else he might just be hauled to prison once again.

There are still many unsolved murder cases in the country involving high civilian and military officials. May the Dacer-Corbito murder case be solved swiftly if only to prove that there is justice in this country.
