Sen. Tito Sotto, again.

I am glad that even though in a slow manner, the filipinos are getting smarter on who to vote this election. well, they do have eat bulaga indonesia though. I feel ashamed of him. its good if he is not running, how ever, if he resigns, doesn't run and apologize it would save what's last of his pride. so sad he had to do this.

I think he just win in the election and became senator because of his everyday appearances in Eat Bulaga....so bad and so sad that some of us voted for him because of it...

The price we have to pay for voting on a star. Why do we rant and rave at our own shortcomings? Come election day, we shall be doing the same, voting for the popular and the famous rather than for talents and capabilities.

Yes...with that issue being gone globally, I am already ashamed of having him as a Senator in our country.

Don't mess with the Kennedy 's. They are practically America's royal family or something.

Yes, you are right....his staff are not competent enough. He should fired them! Because what is being put in the limelight is his future as a public servant.

Oh, I never thought that he is a Letran alumni! My father even commented to the news last night that maybe he did it because of lacking of intelligence and has a minimal knowledge!

Much better if he will be kicked out of the Senate by means of voting. Majority wins. Oh he's from Letran? I never knew that but thanks for that info now I know hahaha. Maybe during his college days he always skip classes and went to his "Skul Bukol" taping while the class is going on.

After all of these things and his being so hard headed I think that he won't be intending to run for another term anymore. He is just lucky that his term will not end this 2013 I believe since he just won last 2010 if I am not mistaken so his term would end when Pnoy would end his term in 2016. He still has some time to recover from all of this.

Unfortunately, I don't think his name is on the ballot. Or else, it's a no-brainier that he'll lose.

I don't think he will really recover in terms of political ambitions. Internet is like an historical archive. Also, the media has a good habit of reusing archives from their own stories. In terms of politics, he may be not be in the chamber anymore because even parties today use social media and we still have that brouhaha from the cyber crime law. But for everything else, he might do just fine. AS long as he doesn't make another speech.

It's too bad and too disappointing that the senator does not have a competent staff who knows how to write speeches and can research well...

Half of the senate will be open this coming elections. I think this is why many are shunning the issue already. Most are either busy planning their comeback or whoever they want to replace them if they have no intention of coming back. Most senators would be silent on this as they do not want to create an atmosphere that they would be at odds with each other. So they are just waiting for Sen. Sotto to make his move on what to do with this since this is his doing and other would neither want their names attached to this infamous senator who is on fire. I just hope that the senator would just give in so that the whole senate would not at all be drag into this bad publicity and not let the whole senate from tackling this issue as many are thinking of pushing the complaint to the ethics committee. It would just waste time just to deliberate whether there is a cause for the complaint and many speeches would again be delivered just for this issue.

Senators don't want to touch this because this will affect them, especially if they want to be elected.Nobody wants an unpopular colleague, no matter how useful his connection he is inside the chamber. If the public gets angry, they will have their say no matter what politics you pull inside the halls of Senate.

lol....where have you been my friend? it's all over the news.

Here's the tip lady; "respond to topics related to your country" if you don't get it either research on the subject matter yourself! or don't respond at all. I was putting on this topic starter's shoes and for some reason it can be humiliating to be asked to make it clear when the topic itself is as clear as the sky, if you know what I mean. I wonder, is Indian politics been bored lately?

thanks

I agree that if this is filed within the chamber, it won't be of no consequence. However, we do have that court of opinion, which includes social media and bloggers. Even if g he got away from actual punishment, people in the internetverse aren't gonna forget him completely after making their life almost near hell after teh cyber crime law provision. Technically, he got away but the public can still kick his bottom in many ways. That's why good about the internet and social media.

yes...I think the blame is not only on himself but to his staff as well....I remember when I was working in the Office of the Vice Governor, I have a colleague who was the one who write speech for the Vice Governor...so how much more that a Senator does not have? I guess, he should hire one because we know for a fact that his intellectual capacity is not on the same level with that of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago!
