NOYNOY’s CIVIL SOCIETY PATRONS TO DUMP HIM AFTER 2010

Ambassador Ernesto Maceda’s take on the civil society groups’ incessant pitching of Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino as the only viable instrument of reform says it all. In his column with the Daily Tribune, Maceda claimed that former social welfare secretary Dinky Soliman and her cohorts have been strutting around as if they have a monopoly of the reform agenda and that their elitist mentality will in no way bag the presidency for their candidate, Noynoy. Maceda further pointed that they sang the same tune in 2001 when they backed then Vice President Arroyo but later admitted their so-called fault in a highly controversial en masse resignation at the Hyatt Hotel in 2005.

That scenario only proved that these civil society groups can and have been using their influence to deliberately position favored personalities in the government and unfortunately after milking the official to their hearts content would intentionally discard their pawn like a dirty piece of rag and unitarily trample in public. Will Noynoy, who is most assuredly a neophyte in the intricacies of our country’s politics, be able to handle this? Will his parents’ name and legacy be able to protect him from the clutches of these civil society groups who have been fronting as patriots but are actually backstabbers to the very sense of the word? Remember the time when Dinky Soliman was unseated from her throne at DSWD and with Vice President Noli De Castro subsequently assuming her place? Did she not approach former President Corazon Aquino and immaturely bashed President Arroyo, the very same person who gave her that position and who – as the top leader of the land - has the prerogative to appoint anyone she sees fit. Did Dinky not return to Malacañang to offer her services as an adviser to Noli after the bashing and even sang a song for GMA during a dramatic walk in the Palace grounds a year later?

They did it before so they are most likely to do it again. Mark my words, if Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino succeeds in the upcoming Presidential Election in May 2010, his so-called patrons from the civil society groups headed by Dinky Soliman will most assuredly find a way to bring him down. Maybe they will use his inexperience as a reason or maybe his elitist view on things which could result to his inability to obtain the nod of the “masa” and the militant organizations in the country.

Just like progressive personalities like Representative Satur Ocampo of Bayan Muna, these civil society groups will find a way, an issue or even a physical attribute of Noynoy just so they can boot him out of Malacañang. The reported “talk between two friends” being coordinated by United Opposition spokesperson Jejomar Binay between deposed president-still-wanting to be President Joseph Estrada and the Liberal Party’s standard bearer will already be ticked off by Dinky Soliman and her minions as Noynoy’s first mistake in their secret score board.

CHANGE WHO, DINKY? “Forcing to hold the next administration at its neck”

Former President Arroyo Cabinet Secretary Dinky Soliman had just launched ChangePolitics, a movement seeking renewed and responsible voting for 2010 and beyond. But is the public overlooking a salient but alarming statement taken on Soliman’s very mouth? In particular when she insists that the people behind ChangePolitics to include her ofcourse would have to be forcing their way-in on executive decisions and policies by 2011. Try to imagine a crowd of “politicize” honchos who merely wanted to get through power by making the so-called movement as a façade. To which, political egoist like Soliman belonged. The one who had disclosed her plans for the 2010 senate seat fairly early this year but was taken aback after her stumpy confidence ratings.

A former lapdog like Soliman who had been trying to find ways to absolve herself to get into the mainstream politics can’t and should not be trusted. The word “insisting” to quote her so-called stamen on the role of ChangePolitics involves “her” and “company” to dictate no less than the elected president in 2010. That would be her worst role other than being a legendary lapdog. Soliman is practically making gimmicks to get to her most coveted “position”. She walked away with her closest ally teary-eyed when she signed-up for the Hyatt 10. She secretly made a pact with Opposition TRAPOs she once opposed in the likes of Panfilo Lacson and even Erap Estrada. This was the same pact that involves multi-million financial aids, which up until today had been used for her pre-election campaigns. She wanted to test the waters and unfortunately the one who gave her the much needed assistance were her former adversaries.

Soliman is nonetheless planning to resuscitate her dying “career” in government as she first tried it out with INCITEGOV along with other HYATT 10 members. But just as her plans to run for the senate was out in the open, INCITEGOV got thrown-out the window. People simply would not give her the chance to deceive them over and again. Obviously, ChangePolitics was another “nome de plum” that was set to hide Soliman’s true identity. Like a fictional writer, Soliman wanted to create a scenario where she would ofcourse be hailed a hero. Sad to say, the “stinky” fish with her tactlessness ruined the entire drama. It was worse when she was “siding” with GLORIA before in exchange for a handful of powerful positions. It would be far terrible when she gets to dictate the voting public on who to vote and later on the president with what to do.

Are we up for a Soliman shadow-led government? Is it not evident enough that she is unfit to take any position when her fallibility to politicking is about 100%? That when things turn upside-down, Soliman jettisons to another camp and suck-up her former stand just to “cleanse” herself?

Other than changing “politics” we should be annihilating “politicking” where Soliman and other TRAPOs belong. It is not our suffrage that has to be scrutinized. In fact, it should be these “posing” morally right groups, who like false prophets, deceive us in exchange for “votes”.
