Ermita may have sincerely meant his complimentary remarks about Villar, as when he rcalled that when he (Ermita) was a Batangas congressman, he and then Rep. Villar had strong ties, and that Manny "was very good" etc. Such unctuous remarks could prove a Judas kiss, if overdone – I kid thee not.

The real author was subsequently unmasked, and for his efforts got his 15 minutes of fame, but it hardly cured Marquez of whatever it is that ails him, much less push him out of a debilitating silence.
