Another yellow ribbon charade coming!

There’s one thing I’m sure of when the Senate yellow ribbon committee starts tomorrow its inquiry into the alleged P488-million overprice of the Iloilo Convention Center (ICC): Sen. Teofisto “TG” Guingona 3rd, the committee chairman, will not be calling any testimony against Senate President Franklin M. Drilon (FMD) “a buzzer-beating three pointer that won the game.” Guingona reserves such comments only for testimony against the likes of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada.

The highest distinction in a particular field is usually described as a “blue ribbon.” The Senate had such a committee until Guingona came and turned it yellow, a panel that believes anything that smacks of graft is possible only with those who aren’t with the administration of President BS Aquino The Last, I mean, The Third.
