POLITICS MORE VITAL THAN EBOLA FOR PNOY, GUINGONA!

These are excerpts from three stories in the interaksyon website:

According to the World Health Organization, 4,033 people have died from Ebola as of Oct. 8 out of a total of 8,399 registered cases in seven countries.

And Department of Health (DOH) Assistant Secretary Enrique Tayag has warned that “it is just a matter of time” before the country “reports its first Ebola case.”

Almost two months after Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago filed separate resolutions, on Aug. 12 and 19, to look into the country’s preparedness to deal with the disease, the Senate committee on health and demography chaired by Sen. Teofisto Guingona III has not yet conducted even a single hearing.

Even though Santiago’s resolutions were referred to Guingona’s committee a day after they were read in session. 

And where is Guingona? He is deliberating the 2015 DOH budget and attending the public discussion on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the most endorsed bill by PNoy these days, in Mindanao.

This s NOTHING LESS THAN SHAMELESS POLITICKING AND VULGAR DISREGARD for the greater majority of the people by both PNoy and Guingona.

The BBL is important, no question about that.

But while PNoy and his ‘pa-pogi’ boys practically NEVER RUN OUT of issues to discuss about the BBL, PRACTICALLY NOTHING has been heard from them about the Ebola threat.

Keep in mind, people, that the BBL is only for our Muslim brothers in Mindanao, while Ebola CAN STRIKE, and God forbid, KILL PEOPLE ANYWHERE IN THE CONTRY.

But PNoy would rather INSIST AND PERSIST on a second term, emergency powers to deal with the supposed but STILL BASELESS electricity shortage next year, anything he can attack his predecessor Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with, and other self-serving issues.

Nothing as extensive about Ebola. Simply a TOTAL DISREGARD for the welfare of the many in his ALL-OUT PURSUIT OF HIS SELF-INTERESTS.

And as we say in poker, choose your wild for Guingona: He’s waiting first for Ebola to strike the country, and kill someone, before starting an inquiry or he’s simply following the wishes of PNoy to endear himself more this early in preparation for the 2016 polls.

Whatever you choose, one thing remains: PNoy and Guingona COULD’NT CARE LESS if Ebola starts attacking us while they have pending vested interests, AT OUR EXPENSE. 30
