These few weeks I’m busy attending symposiums local and even
nationwide. November 21, 2015, I’m not only a participant but actually being
one of the secretariats (luckily) on a nationwide seminar held in the near Juan
Sumulong Elementary School Antipolo. I was shocked to meet Atty. Lorna Capunan,
whose mainstream interview in Gandang Gabi Vice hits legions of eyes and mouths
on social medias and television, putting more sugarcoats on the matapang and palaban image of a civil and political lawyer whose clients were
the (estimate 2010) most controversial Heiden Co of the infamous Co-Halili sex
scandal, the “queen” of the ten billion pork barrel scam – Janet Lim Napoles,
and if not mistaken President Gloria Arroyo herself. I honestly claim that I was much wondered
when I received the news on television that she won the case of Co during the
heights of the controversy, and this: she surrendered (the term Capunan used
was “surrendered” not the expected “persuaded”) Janet Lim Napoles in the Malacaṅang
Palace one evening on the midst of book-tick cases against the queen when she
discovered that Napoles is not telling the truth. The lawyer is one of our
speakers.
Capunan is not only a political animal (as Aristotle
describes us), but in my own observation, a selfie animal; she make selfies
using her large smart phone during the speech of other speakers. Umuuso ang lola!
The funny thing is
that when she arrived at 8:00 am, she looked for a comfort room to pee. One of
the secretariats assisted Capunan to the most available comfort room. The more
funny thing is that an hour before, we were problematic to find enough water to
fill buckets and buckets for such accommodation. And after the lawyer used the
comfort room, Mr. Paluyo – one of the organizers of the said event whispered to
me “naku mukhang nakasimangot si
Attorney”.
I actually took the chance to see her curriculum vitae or
what the British people calls résumé that was handed by her, and so much
surprised to find out that she has ten pages résumé, five of
it is occupied by her major conventions here and abroad by which the nature of
participation are mainly speakership. If I am an employer and she wanted to
work in my company, I would think that she is more competent and qualified than
the CEO of that company of what-ever it is.
