    Another prominent native of Pasig is his uncle and great statesman, former senate president Jovito Salonga.
    His reputation took a hit when he acted as one of the defense lawyers for Erap. But then he rationalized it as his professional duty as a lawyer.

    even the worst criminals (hey! i'm not refering to anyone!) deserve a lawyer defending them.

    He was also in the farcical EDSA III (with the likes of Enrile, Honasan, Ping Lacson, Maceda, Tito Sotto, and Miriam Defensor-Santiago) in a brazen attempt to seize power and seize Malacanang for Erap.

    On the religious side: Ang Dating Daan, El Shaddai, and the INC provided support. On the distaff side, you had showbiz and sexy stars providing intermission, er, entertainment.

    This is the time when GMA enjoyed the support of the middle-class. upper-crust, and most of the political elite... most of whom will regret it a decade later.


    Politics create strange bedfellows in the Philippines.
