MAR ROXAS INGGIT SA DINNER SA NEW YORK

Hanggang saan kaya balak paabutin ni Senador Mar Roxas ang mga patutsada laban kay Gloria para lamang makakuha ng pogi-points mula sa mga taong bayan na pilit niyang nililinlang? Bukod sa pagmumura sa isang rally, pag-atake sa Cheaper Medicines Bills at palabasin ang kaniyang bersyon bilang mas maganda at masunog sa bandang huli, pasuot ng kwintas na bawang sa senado at pagsasawsaw sa usaping kalusugan ni GMA ay tila may bago na namang pauso si Mr Palengke - ito ay ang busisiin ang napabalitang dinner sa isang restoran sa New York at gamitin na naman ito para sa kaniyang political strategy.
Maiintindihan sana natin ang ganitong balitaktakan kung valid issues lang ang magiging palitan sa magkabilang nag-uumpugang kampo pero masyado naman yata pinababa ng senador ang usapan sa lebel ng ordinaryong tsismis lamang dahil sa kawalan ng ebidensya sa kaniyang mga paratang. Halatadong-halatado tuloy itong si “boy bawang” na pilit nitong isisiksik ang sarili sa mga maiinit na isyu mapag-usapan lamang at mabigyan lang ng pagkakataon na makilala para sa plano niyang pagtakbo sa dadating na eleksyon.
Hindi kaya ito konektado sa naging maugong na balita dati na kaya biglang umatras si Senador Ping Lacson sa kaniya planong pagkapangulo ay dahil may namamagitang alyansa sa dalawang senador? Ito ay ang nabunyag na alyansa na papanalunin ni Ping si Mar at proproteksyunan ng naman ng huli ang una sa mga kasong kriminal kapag nakapwesto na. Eto ba ang dahilan kung bakit masyadong papansin ngayon si Mr Palengke na dati-rati naman ay hindi niya ginagawa? Mukhang nahawaan na ni Mr Exposé si Mar Roxas at siya na ngayon ang ginagawang mikropono aka spokesperson ni Ping Lacson para bigyan ng kredebilidad ang kaniyang mga patutsada kay Ate Gloria.
Alam na alam kasi ni Ping na gasgas na gasgas na ang kaniyang pangalan at ano mang pasasabugin nito laban sa kasalukuyang administrasyon ay ikakataas lamang ng kilay ng sambayanang Pilipino at iisipin na pilit niya inililihis ang usapan para proteksyunan ang kaniyang sarili.
Mag-isip sana si Senador Mar Roxas na hindi sa anu pa mang gimik politikal siya maboboto sa 2010. Hindi pagsuot ng kwintas na bawang o sa pagsawsaw sa mga isyu mapapansin ang isang kandidato dahil ito ay karaniwan na natin nakikitang ginagawa ng mga ibat-ibang presidentiables na lakas loob na humaharap sa ating mga Pilipino at lumiligaw ng boto mula sa atin. Kung gusto talaga ni Mr Palengke makapwesto sa Malacañang ay mas marapat na valid na mga isyu lamang ang kaniyang gamit sa paghamon ng balitaktakan at sa ngayon pa lamang ay ilaglag na si Ping Lacson sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak nito sa kaniyang saya.

SOMA: Suppose Our Media Agrees with GLORIA

Nothing could go wrong when one thinks outside the box and tries settling its own evasive affairs, like how the media make use of exploring controversies in order to make money. The negative write-ups on the current administration are hypothetically thrice the magnitude of Gloria’s claimed fandom in her ascendancy through Edsa Dos in 2001. Her administration who gagged-down a multi-million plunderer out of Malacañang is now being held at question by the very forces of the convicted-president Erap Estrada. It is bothersome how the public welcomes Erap who was neither regretful of his erring actions in 2000 nor conciliatory with the very administration that pardoned him for good. Thanks to what we could attest as “media-led distortion of accepted morals”, Erap is now our hero and Gloria, our devious archenemy.

The graft charges on GLORIA never hold ground. They were either lacking substance or worst politically motivated basing on the actions of its renowned whistleblowers who by now are testing the political waters for the nearing 2010. Compared with Erap, his plunder charges were proven factual and thereby contemptuous. During his term, the peso reached its intolerable dollar exchanges while oil prices skyrocketed. In fact, it was in Estradas’ term when peso struck its lowest buying ability in the international market. An open offensive with both the secessionist and Communist groups in the country also took a spin in the country’s stability and even destabilize the state’s budget. Erap was a sham president that People Power ousted from the presidency.

But with the kind of media ass-kissing Erap is getting, his supposed “negative pull” to the masses decreased in unexplainable heights. This same media mileage and even “grooming” led him to believe that Juan dela Cruz are naïve and stupid enough to welcome him in the presidential seat by 2010. The plunderer Erap was even remolded into a tempting delicacy for the 2010 elections; which is why, bunch of his enemies before side with him now. Like for example, the rightist moralists led by Bayan Muna Teddy Casiño and Satur Ocampo who spearheaded the Erap Resign Movement in 2001. In April of this year, both Casiño and Ocampo declared an open-alliance with the Estradas and his comrades in the political Opposition. This, by far, should have been a well-celebrated case of politicking at its “best” but the media made it look like a “decent” or worth accepting trend.

There was nothing in Gloria’s SONA that I myself had not experienced nor witnessed in front row seats. She was right with the fact that political stunts and backbiting among the Genuine Opposition was her deadliest opponent. Their accusations were cowardly done. Taking these Gloria plunder charges into public trials other than filing it in the proper courts should have been exploited by the media. However, this was ridden-on by the press to simply write stories that sell that contains nothing less than rumors or gossips.

Come to think of it, if Erap was in the seat of power as we while down the whirlwind of global recession, most would now be starving to death. The way the peso was dragging in Erap’s term; there is no denying that Juan dela Cruz would not have had the ability to feed himself a decent meal.
