COMMENTS

Subject: Why did Esguerra keep Paras DESPITE this RESOLUTION? Didn'tEsguerra say he FOLLOWS S-Council Resolutions? Did Quiambao orderS-Council to IGNORE this Resolution? If not Quiambao, who did? CouldParas alone defy Sir Hilario if Quiambao were not around? Ano ang UTANG NA LOOB ni Quiambao kay Paras? What COMPROMISING act did Quiambao do that gives Paras nearly COMPLETE control of him (Quiambao) even Sir Hilario's directive could be IGNORED?
