Over at Cebu city, a former key investigator of the controversial Chiong 7 rape-slay case revealed that at least two of the convicted 7 are innocent of the crime.

Retired SPO3 Roy Codinera, who is half-paralyzed from a stroke and relegated to a wheelchair, said he wanted to “unburden his conscience.” He claims that James Andrew Uy, who is on death row, and brother James Anthony, who was meted a life sentence because he was then a minor, are both innocent of the crime. Their names were just inserted in the record of the extra-judicial confession of star witness Davidson “Tisoy” Rusia.

The revelation of Codinera pours fuel on the speculation that the trial was conducted roughshod to appease (or impress) a Chiong aunt who was then a secretary of President Estrada (look at http://www.framedinthephilippines.com. This could mean that not only the Uy brothers may be innocent.

It doesn’t matter if Codinera has motives other than conscience cleansing. The fact that he called a press conference to reveal this new twist should be reason enough to give the case a second but more thorough review.

Indeed, the guilty should deserve no less than the most extreme punishment allowed by law. But if an innocent person is convicted of a crime he did not commit, shame on us all.

“Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” -Dylan Thomas

Let’s face it. The U.S. has been raping the Philippines (and many other countries for that matter, the latest being Iraq) for decades. So the latest rape case involving 5 U.S. servicemen is nothing new.

What’s new is their latest accomplice, Gloria (the Liar) Macapagal-Arroyo. I suspect she got very hurt, not because a fellow Filipina was raped, but because 5 fellowmen of Emperor Dubya Bush were accused.

Now she’ll go all out to protect the Americans instead of the Filipina. Even now there are talks already of shipping the accused out of the Philippines. When those animals are gone, they’re gone forever.

And where will that leave the Philippines? Holding nothing but torn bra and panties and blood between our legs.

And the Americans? They’ll be laughing all the way to their shores, patting each other on the back for a smashing good time. Meanwhile, Emperor Bush will merely shrug his shoulders and label the incident as “collateral damage.” Hell, he can have thousands killed in Iraq so why bother about a rape?

GMA will just pant before her colonial master and wag her tail in acquiescense, waiting for her scraps.

Filipinos need to rage, rage against the dying light!
