Yes, whistleblowers should be spared, but then Joey de Venecia and Jun Lozada are not whistleblowers in the true sense of the word. A whistleblower, like a ball game referee, blows the whistle as soon as he spots a violation during the game, not after. He is not part of the game.

 

In the case of Joey de V. and Jun Lozada, these two are very much in the game. Unfortunately, whoever was the coach decided to bench them and finally sent them to the locker room where they started blowing their tops. In other words, Joey and Jun are just plain “Topblowers”, not whistleblowers. “Book them!” as Steve Magareth of Hawaii Five-O used to say.
