Fatal Attraction

Is this a case of fatal attraction by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago to the Interior and Local Government Ronnie Puno?

it sort of feels like it because it was digging up something like a madman just to attract the attention of Puno.

First, she called for a Senate inquiry into the closet infomercials officials, with the most visible target was Ronnie Puno, because it suddenly felt like the right lead, after investigation, the comrades TO went out with Ronnie or TV spots announcing the achievements of the Ministry of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in peace and the first order.

Before that Santiago had been silent on infomercials or other officials, which was released earlier as those of his fellow Senators Manny Villar and Mar Roxas, who had two horns slots on their prime time TV ad.

When the hearing began girl, Santiago put on a face chuffed for all the officials of the Cabinet, with its quaint witticisms and indulgence toward them, even those who could not get in the survey that was released just days earlier.

But she reserved her anger for Ronnie Puno, who had a valid explanation for not attending the hearing, she refused to accept. (The secretary was in Pangasinan to attend public commitments that have been over a month before, according to the media.)

there was no follow-up hearing on the issue, then it became clear that the investigation has been alleged that staged by the secretary to find a new excuse to attack the DILG Secretary.

After Santiago did not raise public interest in its probe of infomercials and Ronnie nailed on that question, she turned her focus on the traffic board, once chaired by his younger brother, Puno Rodolfo'Dodie.

Dodie has ceased to be the head of the traffic board in 2008 but it took a year before Santiago, apparently stumbled on irregularities claimed by the Commission when it wa still Dodie CEO.

Again, the target is not obvious Dodie, but his older brother Ronnie. She wants to drag down trying Ronnie Dodie his means to his ends.

Ronnie Puno slab to do with the traffic board and its directors. But Santiago, the absence of the trap, is desperately trying to connect with Ronnie's claims against the Commission in making an attempt to block his younger brother.

Curiously, Santiago has asked the Office of the Ombudsman investigate Dodie Puno, director insignificant Executive Board, for alleged irregularities, and yet untouched by the Board members themselves, as the common practice of companies show approve everything that happens in the agency announced.

Why not tell the mediator to run after members of the Council if it was not particularly guilty of selective justice and double standard or fatal attraction?


In the first place, if Santiago were so annoyed over the alleged irregularities in the council, she should have trained his sights not on Dodie Puno, who was the Executive Director in the past, but members of cabinet who really sit on the board of directors.

In reality, Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane was present at the hearing, it was absolutely amazing really that the senator did not impose his mercurial character himself at the hearing, but had fired all his ammunition on Dodie Puno who could not make it to the hearing?

The senator has even found a technique to blow up the DILG secretary again by casting aspersion on a program worthy of praise from the Philippine National Police (PNP), the oyster program on road maintenance work is funded by the Council road?

In a blow below the belt, the eccentric
