You know, if you extend a hand of reconciliation and the other party refuses, you do not slap the other party. It only shows how dishonest you are with the insincerity of your reconciliation effort.

Immediately after Mike Arroyo got out of the hospital (after a successful operation), he vowed to have his libel suits withdrawn, which he did, after the damage has been done. In retaliation for all the libel suits, some of those he sued filed a class suit against him. Even if the libel suits were withdrawn, these journalists chose to push ahead with the class suit. And why should they? As I have said, the damage has been done. Read this post by Ellen Tordesillas.

And now, to show that Mike Arroyo is one insincere guy, his lawyer is now turning the tables against those who filed the class suit, using the much-vaunted rule by law: he wants the Makati RTC to have 8 journalists arrested for not attending court hearings. Why should they, when he plans to use them as hostile witnesses?

You know why no one wants to trust you, Mr. Arroyo? Because you are one insincere man.
