          Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said that the Minority is juvenile for demanding a congressional probe of errant shooting buddies of the President and other favored officials.

           What is juvenile about demanding that errant officials be disciplined and dismissed? Ang mga may katiwalian ay kailangan sibakin. Itong si Lacierda ang isip-bata sapagkat pinagtatanggol niya ang Pangulo kapares ng isang bata na pinoproteksyonan ang hawak-hawak na candy or lollipop.

           Lacierda said the Minority is not doing their homework because both Torres and Puno have already been investigated, but he failed to state that the results of the investigation by the DOJ panel on Torres and the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) on Puno were adverse.

           Lacierda said that the Minority is making noise because Congress has adjourned, implying that they do not have a venue for fireworks. He is wrong because the Minority works with or without sessions and during adjournment.

           Unlike other officials, we do not rest during the day and play at night.
