What's up with these witnesses? Pagkatapos kumanta, nag-recant na. Now Richard Garcia and this guy Abraham Riva are singing a different tune. Wala pa sa tono. You can't tell if they are withdrawing any, some, or all of their statements.
According to Inq7, "Demosthenes Abraham Riva’s “I am sorry” to
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo before television cameras yesterday
had a familiar confused ring to it.
It appeared to echo Richard
Garcia’s mea culpa last week, seemingly recanting the latter’s
testimony before the Senate hearings on “jueteng” implicating the First
Family in illegal gambling payoffs but at the same time standing by it."
As confused as anyone else, I can only offer the following bizarre (and utterly useless) observation: Isn't it strange how the names of witnesses seem to suggest they are all using some kind of code?
The first whistleblower to sing and cause the ouster of a president is Governor Chavit Sing-son. Many thought the next Singson was going to NBI legal officer Samuel Ong or SOng. Instead, the more fearless witness turns out to be Sandra Cam or SCam. Michaelangelo Zuce is a Key witness. And he identified a fellow operative who must be heard in the inquiry named Butch Paquinggan.
Hmm, I think I am onto something... something really stupid.
i use a mac, file played great on VLC, which you should have anyway as it plays films better than QT. Get it from versiontracker.com.
