Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales
is an Irresponsible and Unjust Man
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
21 December 2006
Justice secretary Raul Gonzales has publicly expressed suspicion of the New People's
Army for the killing of Rep. Luis Bersamin, Jr. even as he admits that he has no
evidence whatsoever to present. He also drags in my name for the purpose of
innuendo by accusing me of declaring the all-out war policy which his boss Gloria
M. Arroyo has declared and which the Cabinet Oversight Committee on Internal
Security is directing so coldbloodedly.
As chief political consultant of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines,
I have never come across any information that Rep. Bersamin and the NPA had
any hostile actuations towards each other. The NPA never conceals its hostile
attitude towards anyone it considers obnoxious to the people. Rep. Bersamin
was not known for behaving as obnoxiously as the fake president Arroyo, Phoenix
Plan veteran Eduardo Ermita, Norberto Gonzales and Raul Gonzales and was also
not known for holding any hostile attitude towards the NPA.
Raul Gonzales seems to be unaware that my eldest brother and his wife are close
relatives of Rep. Bersamin and the Court of Appeals justice Lucas Bersamin. The
two Bersamins are well known to be upright and conscientious officials.
Justice secretary Gonzales is an irresponsible and unjust man. No wonder that he
was once sanctioned by the Supreme Court for his bad behavior. The only excuse
that can be made for Gonzales in the present case is that he suffers from irrationality
due to acute senility and that he ought to step down from his office. ###
