Let the “bloodbath” begin forthwith
The Freeman
|July 18, 2025
The Filipinos love cokfights. Sabungeros are even being killed for cheating in the game. Pinoys love to see a bloodbath. Our people have imbibed from the Spaniards, after 377 years of colonization, an addiction to any good fights, like the bullfights in Madrid, Andalucia, Seville, Cordoba and Ronda, Spain. Also the basketball and the baseball games in the US and the boxing fights in Las Vegas and in California.
That is why the vice president has challenged the administration on the impeachment. Bring it on. Let the bloodbath begin. And do it forthwith. She has the guts, the gall, the gumption and the glitz to make that challenge because she knows that she has the winning cards. She is the only impeached official of any country who is accompanied in her multiple peregrinations by two famous senator/judges, no less than the sister of her number one political nemesis, Senator Imee, and the Senate topnotcher and chair of the constitutional committee, Robinhood Padilla.
The vice president has that high spirit because her numbers have improved. Her supported candidates won: Bong Go who topped the senatorial polls, Rodante Marcoleta, her defender in the Lower House has been promoted to the Upper Chamber, Bato de la Rosa and her beloved BFF, Imee Marcos. She even made a joke that Imee is her hostage to guarantee that her father, the former president, will be repatriated forthwith. That word being explicitly included in the Constitution should be followed to the letter.
