                    [Summary] => Woe on those who court the ire of people like Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. At Bulong Pulungan sa Philippine Plaza Hotel Tuesday, the senator was asked if he had forgiven Sen. Jamby Madrigal, who had mentioned in her privilege speech that JPE’s surviving an aborted ambush had led to the late President Marcos’ declaration of martial law. The allusion had led to a stinging tirade from the elder senator. At Bulong Pulungan, JPE said forgiveness is "a Christian virtue," and that it is written that "he who is not without sin" should cast a stone at the supposed sinner.
