PALACE BRAINWASHING THE PEOPLE ON GARCIA CASE


Malacanang is DESPERATELY trying to BRAINWASH the people into agreeing to the LEGALITY of the suspension of Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia.

Even though the FACTS behind the suspension tend to show it’s Malacanang which has committed an ILLEGAL ACT. DON’T BE BLINDLY FOOLED by anyone.

Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda and Budget Sec. Butch Abad have been repeatedly ABUSING the phrase RULE OF LAW in asking Garcia to honor her suspension.

But both guys have NOT, or should I say REFUSED to comment on Garcia’s DETAILED defense that her suspension was ILLEGAL.

Garcia has CATEGORICALLY COUNTERED that her suspension violated the Local Government Code, which states that the Office of the President must release a decision 30 days after an investigation.

For those who missed it in the news, the investigation into Garcia’s case ended on Aug. 31, 2011. But the decision came out ONLY last Dec. 17, or 474 days after.

Garcia had also pointed out under Administrative Order 23, upon transmittal of the records of her case from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Office of the President must decide on it within 30 days.

The records were transmitted from the office of the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo last July 26, 2012. But again, a decision came out only on Dec. 17, or 144 days later.

Anybody correct me if I’m wrong but NOBODY from Malacanang has explained or countered these SPECIFIC allegations of Garcia.

All that they’re DESPERATELY trying to BURY INTO THE PUBLIC MIND is Garcia should follow the rule of law by accepting her suspension. As if it’s perfectly legal.

Even if the FACTS pointed out by Garcia, which they CAN’T DISPUTE up to now, CLEARLY SHOW they are the ones WHO HAD NOT FOLLOWED the rule of law.

In his PATHETIC and AMATEURISH defense of Garcia’s suspension, Lacierda had the nerve to say that her case was investigated before a final decision was issued by the Office of the President.

Despite the CRYSTAL-CLEAR provisions of the Local Government Code and Administrative on the DEADLINE which they miserably, if not DELIBERATELY, failed to follow in deciding on the suspension of Garcia.

I’m not for anybody in this issue, As I’ve stated in our preceding blog, I am for the TRUTH and FAIR PLAY.

CONSIDER THE FACTS, FIRST, before you believe in government press statements. I repeat, whatever anyone from Malacanang says IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY the truth, the legal or the moral. 30
