“theoretical discussants” on television have been repeating the entire two weeks that Janet Lim-Napoles will just invoke her right against self-incrimination in the Senate, and the “task” is how to get around that.
So corny.
sweetie, brush up on practice: Here it is… (free download):
After preliminaries….
Browbeating…
“I don’t know, your Honor…. Uuhmmm…hindi ko ho… masyadong matandaan iyan… (I don’t remember, your Honor)
I don’t seem to…recall, your Honor…
“hindi ko ho alam …” (i don’t know that…)
“wala ho akong matandaan na ganyan…” (i don’t remember anything like that whatsoever whomsoever, eyver and eyver)
Hindi ko ho alam yan… Hindi ko ho alam ang ginawa nila… (i don’t know that… I don’t know what they did…)
hindi ho…. Wala ho….” “I don’t know… I don’t remember… I don’t know to you, este, I don’t know … no sir.. none…. I didn’t know what they were doing…”)
….A teardrop will fall.
A glistening, slow-moving droplet will slide on her erstwhile diamond-peeled skin….
followed by sniffles…
sighs….
suppressed coughing….and…
uncontrollable sobbing….
sobbing… hu-hu-hu….turning to wailing…
And then…there will be difficulty in breathing….
a sharp increase in blood pressure…
rising to 280 over 300…. chest pains,
heaving, fainting spells…
And…..cue music.
Right against self-incrimination? Wal-ley!
Medic!!!! I need a medic here…. Somebody help… Medic!!!!
And off she rides into the sunset….
(there’s a technique for handling the usual i-don’t-recall-i-don’t-remember sort of answer… how to turn it around… but i guess you know how to do that because… your middle name is dazzling-showman-senator…)
Last month, the blog posted that Janet Lim-Napoles could be brought to the Senate on a Senate subpoena only upon order of the RTC Makati.
The Senate had issued a subpoena, and yesterday afternoon, the RTC Makati announced that it would allow the accused Lim-Napoles to be transported to Roxas Boulevard on Nov. 7 to to attend the Senate hearing, according to the news dailies. i guess… the clerk of court typed up or would type up an order for the judge’s signature. Or… i guess the judge made the announcement in open court with the parties present so it had the effect of an order.
Normally… unless an emergency is involved, before the Court moves the body of the accused around, across cities, etc., it issues an order and the accused’s lawyer and next of kin is informed (normally — if it is not an emergency — the parties are notified beforehand).
Normally, the procedure followed here is, the PNP appears before the judge in open court and informs him/her that there is a need to move the accused around, etc. etc.
So i guess… the judge followed the normal procedure for non-emergency moving around of the accused…
