Well it was a prepared speech, so either P-NOY missed De Castro by
mistake, or protocol dictates that he doesn't have to greet former
VPs. Corona though, was intentional I think. Noynoy the candidate was
particularly incensed by the Chief Justice controversy. He promised to
scrutinize all midnight appointments, and high on that list is the CJ.
Early in the campaign, there was already talk that Malacanang would
railroad this one, but there was always hope that Corona would
exercise some prudence.
It was a frank, damning speech. I'm sure some parties sitting in the
grandstand were offended.
