PEMBERTON CASE DOUBLE NATIONAL HUMILIATION!

Three words best describe the Pemberton case: DOUBLE NATIONAL HUMILIATION.

It’s all over the Internet now that according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Philippines will not appeal the US refusal to grant Pemberton’s custody to our authorities.

The Visiting Forces Agreement accords the US that privilege.

UNANG PAMBANSANG KAHIHIYAN: Kahit PABALAT BUNGA man lamang ay HINDI IPAGLALABAN ng gobyerno ang karapatan nating tayo ang dapat humawak kay Pemberton.

KABABAYAN natin ang pinatay ni Pemberton, DITO SA ATING BANSA. Kaya’t SISTEMA NG GOBYERNO AT BATAS NATIN ang dapat umiral. HINDI ANG KAGUSTUHAN NG AMERIKA.

Kumbaga sa ama ng tahanan, tayo ang namatayan pero ang pamillya  ng pumatay ang MASUSUNOD KUNG PAANO SIYA TATRATUHIN. Ni hindi siya pumalag. MASAHOL pa tayo sa ASO NA NADUWAG.

Second national humiliation: Even a high school kid can READILY REALIZE that the privilege is both INSULTING AND DEMEANING to our dignity, both as a country and a race,.

And yet, we included that in the VFA, had the agreement approved and now upholding it to high heavens WITHOUT EVEN A WORD of protest or caution of its being GROSSLY UNFAIR for the Laude case.

I still would like to think that our VFA negotiators are smart guys who were NOT STUPID ENOUGH not to realize the DEGRADING effect of the privilege.

So as I’ve said in my preceding blog, our VFA negotiators owe the people, among others, a DETAILED EXPLANATION on the following points: WHO thought of the privilege, why was it included in the VFA in the first place, and did they do anything to have it deleted?

These must be answered so that in case another American soldier KILLS 10 OR 15 civilians or more for whatever reason and the US still gets their way in handling the killer, WE WOULD KNOW WHOM TO BLAME among our officials

KunG NASISIKMURA ng ilang opisyal natin na MAGMUKHA TAYONG mga ASONG BAHAG ANG BUNTOT o mga ROBOT na SUNUD-SUNURAN lang sa Amerika ng walang tanung-tanong, HINDI natin sila dapat TULARAN.

At pagtiwalaan, pati na ang mga ikakampanmya nila pagdating ng 2016.

Dahil BINENTA NILA ang malaking bahagi ng ating dignidad sa pribileheyong tinatamasa ngayon ni Pemberton sa ilalim ng VFA. 30
