SUSPICIOUS ACTS BY PADACA, BRILLANTES

A lot of questions immediately entered my mind following the Commission on Elections (Comelec) denial of the bid of PNoy ally Black and White Movement, to join the 2013 party-list polls  

Why did Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes initially withheld the denial from media people? His excuse that the paper work has yet to be done is SUSPICIOUS, to say the least.

For two reasons:

First: If he, as chairman, was so particular with the paperwork, then why didn’t he issue a gag order to the commissioners until the paper work is done?

Making Brillantes’ initial silence more puzzling is his immediate confirmation of the rejection of Black and White Movement’s poll bid after a  slip of the tongue to reporters by Commissioner Lucenito Tagle.

Ico-confirm din pala niya kahit wala pang paperwork, BAKIT HINDI pa si Brillantes mismo ang nagsabi samedia?

Denials of party-list bids by other groups for the 2013 elections were announced in a flash after these were decided on. What makes the Black and White Movement so special to Brillantes?

Second: PNoy appointee Grace Padaca had boasted in media that she will be independent as a Comelec commissioner. Then WHY DID SHE NOT VOTE on the Black and White Movement’s  petition?  

In fairness to the Comelec, their explanation for rejecting the Black and White Movement was CLEAR ENOUGH.

Here are some of its salient points:

Black and White failed to show in its articles of incorporation, by-laws, history and track record that it represents the marginalized sectors of women, urban poor and youth.

The movement’s primary advocacy is good governance.

“(But) while it may have involved women, urban poor and youth in this advocacy, their involvement is merely coincidental to the advocacy for good governance. Black and White failed to mention in its track record its accomplishments pertaining to the women sector.”

Even a high school kid can understand the English used by the Comelec in its ruling. Don’t tell me PADACA COULD NOT.

NASAAN ANG INDEPENDENCE na sinasabi mo, Ms.Padaca?

Black and White, at higit sa lahat ang Batas ang pinaguusapan, HINDI SI PNOY. Bakit HINDI MO MASANGAYUNAN ang maliwanag na .desisyon ng mga kasamahan mo?

To those who would still believe in Padaca, my deepest CONDOLENCES. 30
