Ligot Has No Condo in Taguig; Wife Soon to Appear in a Hearing

If a 5th grader reads the story and understands the right against self-incrimination, an immediate answer that Mr. Ligot is lying is expected when asked if the former military comptroller is telling the truth or not.

Sen. Drilon’s icing of the cake “Why are you selling it (the property in question) to the principal? If he is the owner, he should not have paid P25 million?” is enough for Mr. Ligot to look like a steamed crab. He thinks that the public buys what he says although I believe, deep in him; he knows that he is lying and he knows that he is cornered by Sen. Drilon’s jab.

I keep on wondering if professional soldiers are still role models for the youth. In the elementary grades, we were taught that a soldier is a person of courage and integrity and is ready to shed his/her blood for the welfare of the country in time of war or in time of peace and youth should look at them as a model of patriotism. I don’t talk in general terms but it seems that some of our military officers are an insult to the military profession. Are they there to serve the country or to enrich themselves at the expense of the people?

oOo

Mrs. Ligot is in the hospital because of headache if what I heard from her husband is accurate. She has a high blood.

When I was in high school and prefer to sleep the whole day instead, I used to tell my Dad that I have a headache. After all, who can tell or what doctor can diagnose a headache? If it is true that Mrs. Ligot has a high blood, what a coincidence that when she is needed in the hearing, she forgot to take in a dosage of garlic not only to lower his blood pressure but to drive away the "aswang" (evil) as well.

Is she reluctant to appear in the hearing as a matter of fact?

But why is she reluctant if she did not do wrong? As a multimillionaire, there is no reason for her not to appear in the next hearing bringing along with her her nurse, doctor and hire an ambulance if not helicopter should her health worsen in the course of the hearing for a quick hospital transport.

In the hearing, I can guarantee 100 per cent that she will also invoke her right against self-incrimination many times and selective in her forgetfulness.  She will try her acute luck to avoid questions. 

If I were one of the senate inquirers, I only have one question.

“How and where did you get the resources in buying your houses in the States when you did not have income per Bureau of Internal Revenue records?"

That would be enough to make her nurse and doctor busy and the ignition switches ready for a hospital trip.
