Talk of the Town: His own doing

Comments on “His own doing,” (Editorial, 7/9/26) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:

Trying to WEASEL his way out of a 75M campaign donation that he did not want to declare to the Comelec, he ended up incriminating himself for plunder.

Marcoleta is a typical case of opening the mouth when the brain is still asleep. In sport … own goal.

Sen. Marcoleta was trapped by his own words, he is now to pay for his arrogance. Marcoleta through his legalistic rhetorics always tries to win all arguments. Now that he is incarcerated for plunder, he needs to accept the truth that crime does not pay.

His enemies didn’t bring down Marcoleta. He was brought down by the most dangerous witness in the room: Marcoleta himself. When your own words become the prosecution’s star exhibit, that’s not persecution—it’s self-inflicted damage.
