Ermita, Atienza, Gonzales tagged behind ‘koala bear’
By Ted Boehnert 05/24/2010 After an outburst the other day from Malacañang officials about his “unsubstantiated” and “illogical” pointing to Malacañang as the mastermind for the surfacing of the masked electronic poll fraud whistleblower, Makati City Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr. identified the patrons of who he calls as “koala bear” as former Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, former Environment Secretary Lito Atienza and Defense Secretary Norberto Gonzales, all allies of President Arroyo. On radio, Locsin said “as long as Malacañang keeps opening its mouth, I will keep opening my mouth.” Saludo, the other day, unexpectedly vented his anger on media, saying that reporters in the House of Representatives or editors of various media organization should have squeezed the details out of Locsin’s allegations. Locsin, chairman of the House committee on suffrage and electoral reforms, said Ermita supplied the video tapes while Manila mayoralty losing bet Atienza and Gonzales had knowledge of the whistleblower. “I have nothing against Ed (Ermita) but he is supposedly part of it,” Locsin said. “Lito Atienza, he seems to know about it. We were talking with Bel Cunanan (Robin’s spokesman), they need security and Atienza told me to call Bert Gonzales who will provide security,” Locsin said. Locsin vowed to keep on pounding on Malacañang if it continues to deny knowledge of the whistleblower. Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal added that a delay in the proclamation of a new President and Vice President may occur if election protests of losing candidates were given time to be heard during canvassing of votes in Congress.
