AFP in Hot Water

Corruption in the Armed Forces. We've heard the whispers and rumors since the time of President Cory Aquino. One of the pet theories about the numerous coup attempts she weathered was that the corrupt members of the military were afraid she'd dismantle their schemes.

I'm actually surprised that our senators act like this is news.For one, given the history of our senators its obvious they'd know there were shenanigans. For another, The intelligence funds were always a source of suspicion especially during the time of President Gloria Arroyo. Given the above, mugging it for the media seems unnecessary. The citizens aren't that naive.

I'm just wondering if this will turn out to be another ZTE where the hearings proceeded with bombast then fizzled with little result. I'm hoping it won't turn out like the Garcia case where collusion is now suspected between the defense and prosecution.
