A
story in inquirer.net says several politicians
have allegedly defied the warning of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)
Sec. Rogelio Singson against meddling in the bidding for public infrastructure
projects.
My
take: A CHEAP AND AMATEURISH PUBLICITY STUNT to divert public attention from
controversies hounding PNoy’s government like the pending joint congressional
resolution on emergency powers for him.
First: The inquirer.net story said some of the
politicians “tried to influence some members of (the) DPWH bids and awards
committee (BAC) in bagging projects.
If politicians were to influence anybody, it
would HAVE TO BE SINGSON himself since he is the DPWH boss and can definitely pressure
the committee. No politician in his right mind would waste time influencing
mere members of the BAC whom they know would be more scared of Singson than
them.
Second:
The story, supposedly revealed by DPWH insiders, DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ON HOW
the alleged attempts to influence te BAC members were made, when was it done
and where.
As
in NO DETAILS WHATSOEVER.
Third:
Singson CONFIRMED the story by claiming that “we have already warned them (the
politicians).” But he DID NOT NAME the alleged politicians, who supposedly include a Bicol congressman, some members
of a prominent political clan in Western Mindanao
and a Cordillera governor.
And
here’s the MOST IDIOTIC AND DAMNING part:
Singson
urged bidders and civil society organizations, to file charges against abusive
and corrupt politicians.
DEPARTAMENTO NI SINGSON ang tinangkang pakialaman kuno. Mga
miyembro ng BAC niya ang sinubukang mpluwensiyahan diumano. Pero HINDI SIYA ANG MAGDEDEMANDA. Taumbayan ang
dapat maghabla.
MANLOLOKO at MAGPAPAPOGI na rin lang, BULOK PA ANG STYLE nitong si
Singson.
If Singson or the DPWH will file charges against these supposed
politicians, or even if he will admit to BEING SCARED TO DEATH of them so
that’s why it’s the people who must sue and not him, I will be more than glad
to correct myself.30
