Raped (she was) / Rapped (we were)

'Nicole' leaves for US, settles for P100,000

After all the drama, it all boiled down to zero - or zeros actually.

Nicole rattled two nations, caused a media circus, and fueled feminist passion. She was the modern Mary Magdalene who people sympathize with and fight for. Until she recanted her cries of rape and abandoned the quest for justice. By doing so, she did not only shame herself, but shred the Filipina pride to pieces beyond compare. There's no doubt she was influenced and "bribed." She now even possesses an American visa and is trying to seek new life in a country where a million Smiths live. How ironic can that be? It's a smack on the face of every Filipina.

I can't wait to see Jay Leno and David Letterman pick this up in their show's opening salvo. The joke was on us, and the Americans have the last laugh.
