The much ballyhooed part 3 of Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson’s the Incredible Hulk exposé ´urned out to be a disappointment. It was all innuendo and gossip. He even managed to drag the President into the controversy.

I’m no fan of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, but if you’re going to accuse the President (of any country, for that matter), you better come up with hard evidence. It’s surprising that Lacson, a former Philipine National Police head, just had saliva.

He was perhaps hoping to win the hearts and minds of Filipinos towards a possible People Power uprising before the elections. I will not endeavor to describe the uprising against Joseph Estrada, of which Lacson was reluctant to join until the final moments. Suffice it to say this exposé ¡gainst the Arroyos is just not going to do it.

Instead, what this is revealing is that Lacson is trying to exult himself by putting down another. As a result, we’re again seeing the ugly attitude of a traditional politician that presumes Filipinos are stupid and can’t see the difference.

The Arroyos have one loud battle cry: “Charge us in court!” And Lacson is using gossip to fight back. If he truly has what it takes to bring his exposé ´o the proper legal channels, why doesn’t he?

In the Senate inquiry, especially the sessions that bore down on Iggy Arroyo, some pointed questions were asked that Iggy was obviously uncomfortable in answering. Many Filipinos suspect he and his brother Mike are hiding something. But nothing came about from the inquiry.

Lacson has to have the balls to follow through with formally charging the Arroyos. Otherwise his slogan, “Huwag matakot, stop kurakot” (in English, “Do not fear, stop corruption”) might be perceived to have a hidden ending: “Ako lang ang mangurakot!” (in English, “I alone corrupt”).
