Tit for tat. That is how I best describe Mr. Vizconde's response to the media blitz of the Webbs. The Webbs even went as far as creating a facebook page that seeks justice for Hubert Webb. It is just plain clever of Mr. Lauro Vizconde to know exactly how to counter the moves of the Webbs.
In a series of events, Mr. Vizconde was able to turn things in his favor despite his inarticulateness. First, Mr. Vizconde tells media of his fear that the Supreme Court might overturn the ruling of the RTC and Court of Appeals. Mr Vizconde reveals to media that Justice Carpio, according to his sources, is trying to get a favorable ruling for the Webbs. Then, Mr. Vizconde reveals the text message of Jessica Alfaro that reassures him that their case against Hubert Webb is strong. Then, Gen Mison, the former NBI director, appears on television to declare that Hubert Webb is guilty as hell. Gen. Mison even goes to the extent of saying that the Webbs are peddling lies to the public with impunity just to gain public sympathy. Then, about two days ago, Mr. Vizconde and Atty. Acosta of PAO appeared on TV5 to declare with certainty that Hubert was in the country when the massacre took place.
I congratulate Mr. Vizconde and the brave men and women who are standing up to remind the people of what really took place in the Vizconde residence 15 years ago. The Webbs were probably banking on the short memory of the Filipino people. Too bad for the Webbs that Filipinos, despite what others say, still value the truth and are aware of what is right from wrong.
