Look, I like Miriam Defensor-Santiago but I always noticed she is on the wrong side of history for me.

Here are the notable examples:

1. Protected Erap in the 2001 Impeachment Trial - She voted “No” to opening the second bank envelope which is the the turning point that led to EDSA II and Erap’s ouster.

2. Voted to Acquit Chief Justice Renato Corona (2012) - Her vote is protecting Corona from impeachment which makes sense that she has close ties with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

3. Ran with Bongbong Marcos in 2016 - This is the most heartbreaking for me, because of her, with her popularity boosted BBM's image as she made him her running mate in 2016. She led the way to the BBM Presidency in 2022 which caused historical revisionism and the mess we have now.

She was a brilliant mind and a legal genius but it seems to me she allies or protected the wrong people. Despite being anti-corruption and pro-youth, she sometimes stood beside the very people she claimed to fight against.
