    “To our beloved justices of the Supreme Court, on behalf of the Public Attorney’s Office, and all public attorneys nationwide, I humbly and most respectfully apologize if you may have been hurt by the circumstances[,]”

    Wow, what a non-apology from Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) chief Persida Acosta. Hindi sya sorry dun sa ginawa nya, but she’s saying sorry for “the circumstances”?

    The circumstances in question:

    Acosta’s remarks had to do with her request for the high tribunal to remove a provision on conflict of interest in their Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA), which governs the conduct of lawyers in private and professional matters.

    It might have been better kung hindi na lang siya nagsalita at all. So, ano ito? Sinasabi nya na “sorry kung balat-sibuyas kayo ah”?

    But thankfully, I guess, she has further demonstrated her (lack of) stature, not just as a lawyer, but moreover as a person, with that statement.

          Lakas din ng apog eh no? Tried to watch one of her facebook live episodes, kasi a friend shared it. It’s weird… To say the least.

          Parang katok mga misis with zero humor at walang budget yung production.

            Baka naman may plano mag-pulitiko yan? Senador kaya? Mukhang uso naman ata yung mga tulad nya dun.
