MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Lawmakers are not necessarily law experts and Gabriela Partylist Representative Arlene Brosas is no exception.

Earlier, Brosas questioned the possible misuse of P125 million in confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President last year, while admitting they can’t prove it.

Then Brosas turns around and says the burden of proof should be placed on Sara Duterte’s shoulders.

But even bar flunkers like Leni Robredo know that in the court of law, the burden of proof lies on the accuser or those trying to prove a fact.

It is no different in the court of public opinion.

So shape up, Madam congresswoman. Or ship out!
