That's why she hung out in the areas where US soldiers gather.
That's why she got placed in a position where a rape could take place.
That's why the rape drama versus US Serviceman Daniel Smith ensued.
That's why after all's said and done, she's now in the US with her American boyfriend.
That's why she recanted her accusation of rape.
(Last I heard, she's recanting her statement recanting her accusation of rape...)
That's why I could just give her a swift kick in the...
But that's not the point of this.
I wrote this to point out how this 'rape of Nicole' has exposed how we still live and think like people colonized by the US.
In the whole drama one thing was clear: American interests take priority.
People took up the cause of Nicole because for decades when the US bases were here, crimes like what the serviceman did was commonplace. Even worse was the blatant murders of people scavenging for garbage on the trash heap of the US base, for which no one was put to justice because they did in on 'US Soil". This time, we could and we rallied around her as a symbolic gesture of reinforcing our soveriegnity in these lands.
However, the serviceman, though found guilty, did not even spend a day in Philippine jail but under the custody of the US Embassy. It was even someone from our government who handed the serviceman to the Americans. That in itself is a rude blow to our sovereignity.
The situation was resolved 'coincidentally' on the eve of talks regarding the renewal of the "Visiting Armed Forces" agreement.
And Nicole FINALLY and 'luckily' got a visa to go to the US and live with her American boyfriend. Amazingly she also recants her accusation.
I will not go into nitty-gritty detail. I'll leave that to newspapers columnists.
I just wrote this to point out how we were all raped by Nicole and gang-banged by America yet again.
