Manapat Fired

The man who runs the National Archives and is now in the middle of a forgery controversy over FPJ's candidacy (his "qualifications") has been fired by GMA. His replacement is a former National Commission on Culture and the Arts Board Member.

Senator John Osmena believes that FVR had something to do with the forgeries.

Among those who demanded the axing of Manapat were Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. and Sen. Loren Legarda.

Villar said the National Archives must “be run by honest and incorruptible public servants who would not allow themselves to be used by any party for political purposes.”

Interesting to note that Manapat, as steward of the archives, has been instrumental in providing evidence against Danding in his coconut levy fiasco -- where he stands to lose P 130 billion. Danding and Ka Ronnie (FPJ) are good pals, together with Erap, of course. Smell any dead fish?

Bottomline, it throws off the validity of everything in the Archives, possibly including telltale leads that could solve this mystery.
