                    [Summary] => The escape of Charlie "Atong" Ang and Yolanda Ricaforte we can understand. When they left for abroad, political turbulence was still heavy in the wake of People Power II. Also, there was still no court-ordered travel ban on the two individuals who are needed as witnesses in the corruption case against deposed President Joseph Estrada.

Public trust in the proceedings that riveted the nation for a month, however, ended when 11 senators virtually shackled Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. and refused to allow the presentation of a vital piece of evidence.
