Emano and Her Elks

SCINTILLA: ATTY. ROGELIO BAGABUYO

Look who’s talking!
Taray and her elks have the gall to say: Dirty politics must be stopped. And we have to unite so as to improve the economy of our country.
But, we all know that our country is down precisely because of PGMA’s dirty politics, unstoppable graft and corruption, at all levels and unabated jueteng and other illegal numbers game.
First, Taray grabbed power from the legitimate President on the pretext of wide spread jueteng. She then spent the people’s money to buy votes to insure her victory, so the opposition and the controversial tape say.

Now that the end is near for Taray and company, the Makati Businessmen of the Guillermo Luz and Mr. Concepcion’s kind say that the Philippines can’t afford another people power.
During the time of President Erap, Messrs. Luz and Concepcion were at the forefront of the mass action.
They helped finance the “hakot” of people to show a semblance of popular uprising against a duly constituted authority.
But, now that their charade has been unmasked, they are quick in saying that the people must be calm and respect duly constituted authorities.
Messrs. Luz and Concepcion and the so-called evil society are of the belief that they have been anointed by God as the savior of our motherland. Whatever they say must be obeyed, as they come from God.
Wa mo kuyafi!

I fully subscribed to the suggestion of Senator Nene Pimentel that both PGMA a.k.a. Taray and Noli de Castro a.k.a. “Magandang Umaga Bayad” must resign.
Both of them never had the mandate!
Of course, we all know that both Taray and Magandang Umaga Bayad were proclaimed by Messrs. Noted: goons-alis and Kiko Cuneta or Shawie Pangilinan.
It is high time, our dirty politicians are informed that our constitution provides for elections not selections. In other words, it is not the proclamation that gives our politicians the mandate but the votes.
Ergo, unless the votes are counted, no pretender can have the authority to impose their will on the citizenry.
For the benefit of all concerned, the votes are counted only at the precinct level.
And, since the election returns show beyond the shadow of any doubt that the late Fernando Poe Jr. was voted by the Filipino People, then only he has the mandate to run our country.
And, since both of those proclaimed by Messrs. Noted do not have the mandate, then, according to Senator Nene Pimentel, the Senate President should act as president and call for an election.
On this score, the good senator and I part ways.
We all know that the main reason why the days of the usurpers of power are numbered is because of the controversial tape, where PGMA a.k.a. Taray and Mr. Garcillano are caught on tape talking of massive cheating in the last elections.
This being the case, at this point in time, with malice towards none, it is, to my mind, the height of naivety to call for an election.
Let us not forget that the highest law of the land is the people. We the Filipino people made the 1987 Constitution. And, before that, we had the 1972 Constitution.
History tells us that Comelec proclaimed the late Ferdinand Marcos as the duly elected President of the Philippines.
But, since the highest law of the land was–still is–the Filipino people, it was not the Senate President that acted as president of the land.
The Filipino people installed a certain Cory Aquino!
If the elite composing the evil society were able to make a housewife, a president of our country, why can’t the masses kick out of Malacañang, the congress and the judiciary all the enemies of the poor, the deprived and the oppressed?
If Cory, the housewife, was able to run the country, why can’t a multi-awarded actress–Ms. Susan Roces–whose husband was cheated of the presidency, be installed and made to rule our country with honor and dignity?
While we know that Ms. Susan Roces does not want to be a politician, we also know that she has always been supportive of her husband.
For the sake of the poor, the deprived and the oppressed, we ask, to the point of begging, Ms. Susan Roces to lead the masses in order to restore democracy in our country as well as the hopes as aspirations of the man on the street.
