With the revelations about massive corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, jokes have abounded not just about general amnesia and jet-setting wives of military officers but also about the alma mater of the AFP’s officer corps: the Philippine Military Academy.

The idea is good, the purpose is laudable but the actual workings obviously undermine our democratic and republican form of government. It is supposed to provide representation to the marginalized sector in our society like labor, peasant urban poor, indigenous cultural communities, women and youth in keeping with the spirit of republicanism or the opening of the administration of public affairs to all citizens.

"The small companies are now happily playing the role of a stunt double for the Big Three that make up the oil cartel. They have become part of the Old Boys’ Club," said Rep. Florencio Noel of An Waray.

I value him as a friend and a man of many merits.

But friendship should not be a barrier to honest commentary. Anything publicly said ought to be publicly reviewed. Our people deserve nothing less.

There it was, five-column wide on the front page of the Philippine STAR Wednesday. It was a photo that assaulted the eye, corrugated the mind, trapped the shins, and made you wonder if the Senate has any conscience or sense of propriety at all. It was the birthday of Senate Minority Leader Aquilino (Nene) Pimentel, a lark of a photo. It showed the birthday celebrant whooping it up atop a shoe-shine chair. Shining his shoes were Senate President Franklin Drilon and Sen. [DatePublished] => 2001-12-14 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 134313 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1204555 [AuthorName] => Teodoro C.

Of course, it is.

The Armed Forces are an "Old Boys’ Club." The New People’s Army has its own version of a Maoist-Marxist "Old Boys’ Club," including the members of Bayan Muna, who have attained respectability and gotten seats in the House of Representatives.

Malacañang should be careful in going after the scalp of Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Perfecto Yasay Jr. If they turn him into a martyr, he might run for the Senate next year and win, and that could mean a bigger headache for Malacañang.
