There
is reason for skeptics to think that the Zamboanga crisis is a bloody
diversionary tactic to take the public eye away from the Janet Napoles exposes.
First:
Despite the fact that the rebels have been positively identified as Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighters, its PUBLICLY known chairman Nur
Misuari HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED.
Neither
has Misuari been CHARGED or invited for questioning.
Despite
the fact that close to 60 PEOPLE – civilians, soldiers and policemen – have
been killed, and a similar number have been wounded. And most of all, TENS OF
THOUSANDS have been forced to leave their homes due to the fighting.
Second:
The crisis erupted at a time when pictures of PNoy and Senate President
Franklin Drilon with the Napoleses came out in media, and more and more details
of the pork barrel scam are coming out.
Third:
It’s puzzling why the thousands of soldiers and policemen which the PNoy
government itself has announced as having been sent to the battle still find it
extremely difficult to defeat the MNLF rebels.
I
have not read even one news report that the MNLF rebels are also in the
thousands. And I don’t think our heroes in uniform are that incompetent either.
Fourth:
From almost DAILY UPDATES on Napoles, including the food she eats, the PNP has
fallen silent on her. Except for the Senate testimony by whistleblower Benhur
Luy, Napoles has been all but out of the limelight since the Zamboamga crisis.
I’m
not saying that the Zamboanga fighting
deserves less attention and exposure that Napoles and her supposed criminal
enterprise. By all means, th Pnoy government should inform us of what’s
happening there as much as they did on Napoles.
What
I’m driving at, ladies and gentlemen, is DON’T BE DISTRACTED by the Zamboanga
crisis.
Let’s
all GLUE our eyes and ears on the Napoles exposes, for as long as it takes and
REGARDLESS of whatever else happens anytime, anywhere. NO MATTER HOW SERIOUS OR
BLOODY.
DON’T
FORGET, guys, the BILLIONS OF PESOS stolen and pocketed in the pork barrel scam
ARE OURS --. the countless taxes and fees we pay to this government and other
sources.
ALL
OF US Filipinos were ROBBED, OR SWINLED, in the pork barrel scam. Not just a
few thousands but all of us.
Regardless
of status in life, the people behind the scam, MUST BE JAILED.
But
DON’T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN, definitely
not at the soonest possible time, if we take our eyes off it and leave it entirely ikn the hands of the PNoy
Government.
It
will be the BIGGEST MISTAKE we will all commit.
Believe me! 30
