Nick will lovehate this.
The Comelec has found this year’s election poster boy Lintang Bedol guilty of indirect contempt.
His sentence: six months in prison. And a thousand-peso fine. Peanuts.
Sorry, Bedol. As I have said, you are the poster boy. You did your job well, and this sentence is just a part of it.
UPDATE:
In this ABS-CBN News report, Bedol will post a Php15000 bail. See? Php1000 is peanuts.

The Revised Penal Code needs to be re-revised. A P1,000 fine? Ooh, that’s tooooooo harsh 😐
Well. Look at the bright side. Php 15000 bail.
I was on another blogging vacation, but this really got me steamed!!!
The idiots of the COMELEC have done it once again. Ferrer has done an outstanding job at faking his own contempt against Bedol..
I bet they’re hugging and kissing behind the closed doors…
Damn the corruption that is killing our own beloved nation…
Bedol is what is wrong with our nation.. Musa Dimasidsing is what is right with our nation.. Too bad their fates were interchanged..
Arbet, as you said.. this is news that I definitely hate..
I’ll have my coffee black today. And a double shot to end it.
Hi, Nick, sorry for ruining your vacation, but you’d know soon enough. What shall we do now?
Hi, Arthur, iced tea will be fine for me. Coffee’s bad for my nerves.
