Another moro-moro: GMA's 4th impeachment probe
12/01/2008 8:11 PM ET
WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 1, (PinoyGlobal) - Since filing, this impeachment
case has long been dead in the water, with Matt Defensor as chairman
of the committee.
His son, Mike, the former congressman before him, has been included by
Linda Olaguer Montayre in her book A Nation Unborn as one with whom
Gloria Arroyo has had a dalliance with. Who knows, Mike could still be
one of the presidential boyfriends? So obviously, Matt went for his own
economic solution rather than be a party poofer. His whole family is well
taken care of financially by the godfather because they make the
godmother happy, politically or otherwise.

holds, mostly via knockouts. Pacman has defeated every conceivable
Latino champion and contender that caught his devastating punches in
the ring. The latest was the self-appointed would-be “punisher” of
Pacquiao, Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas, last Saturday.
