I think Gloria's pardon/commutation-due-to-age or illness policy is ridiculous. That is the problem with devoutly religious people. They have this "morality" baggage. Setting free murderers and rapists is not "saintly" work, it is a scandal.
These cases are different from that of Erap's. Erap pardon was not such a big deal because he had already served time, six years in Tanay. His crime was a non-violent one. Besides, he was a former president. Incarcerating a president is just not done, as a general rule. Even in the USA, Nixon was not punished for his crime(s?)
Ginagaya yata ni GMA si Cory. Di ba pinalaya din ng gagong iyon si Joma? At ngayon, si Cory naman ang maingay na pinalaya ang nagpatay sa asawa niya. Di ba mas marami pang pinatay si Joma?
