But the silence of Roxas, who is both the general’s immediate boss and Aquino’s supposed most trusted ally and defender in the Cabinet, is the most traitorous of all. And Aquino, if he has not totally lost his mind in his defense of Purisima, must have noticed that he is going it alone in defending the corruption-tainted general who used to protect him. No Cabinet member, senator, congressman or even Liberal Party leader wants to have anything to do with Purisima —something that speaks volumes not only about the guilt of the general but also of the fickle loyalty of Aquino’s supposed allies. And Roxas, the man who seeks nothing but Aquino’s anointing and support to continue the reforms after 2016, will not even touch the general with the proverbial 10-foot pole, for fear of smearing himself with the nasty stuff that’s been covering both Purisima and Aquino.
