UP MANILA OFFICIALS SHOULD BE PROBED,IMMEDIATELY

The suicide of University of the Philippines (UP) -Manila freshman Kristel Tejada merits an IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION by Malacanang, the Senate and the House of  Representatives.

Ang HINDI AAKSYON, HINDI MAKAMAHIRAP at  WALANG MORAL NA KARAPATAN  na  tawagin pang public servant.

Kristel was placed under bracket D of the school’s Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program (STFAP, wherein her family had to pay P300 per unit instead of free tuition plus allowance under bracket E-2.

But UP officials had earlier admitted that Tejada had failed to submit documents that could have placed Kristel in a lower bracket, which would have spared her  family of  tuition.

Puwes, BAKIT  nilagay pa rin si Kristel sa Bracket  D kung WALANG NAISUBMIT na papeles ang kaniyang pamilya? ANO ang naging BASEHAN? SINO ang nagdesisyon or nag-approve?

Ano ang nangyari,HULAAN na lang or KURSUNADAHAN? Did this happen only to Kristel,or has this been done to other students?

Bracket D is for families with an annual income of P135,000 to P250,000. But Kristel’s father said he only found a job as a taxi driver last April, after four long years of not having any work.

A taxi driver doesn’t work every day. The usual frequency is every other day. For him to earn P135,000 yearly, a taxi driver must  earn  P11,000 plus monthly or  approximately P700 plus  very working day.

From that P700 plus will come the expenses for his family’s survival.

But UP Vice-President for Public Affairs Prospero de Vera admitted that the STFAP classification was too focused on the parent’s income,  not on the expenses.

So WHY WAS THIS POLICY ALLOWED, and by whom? Was this ever revised? If not, why?

High school student man ay maiisip na HINDI PRAKTITAL at HINDI MAKATAO ang  ganitong  sistema,  lalo pa sa isang unibersidad tulad ng UP na ang gobyerno ang nagpapatakbo kaya’tdapat ay tumulong ng todo sa mga mahihirap.

\Kristel’s father said she attended all her classes since November even though she was not enrolled.

So why was she still asked to go on forced leave? Why wasn’t she asked to stop attending classes right from the start to spare her from the extreme disappointment and humiliation of being asked to go on forced leave despite her efforts?

Kristel may be dead. But there are scores of other financially-strapped students  like her. Unless things are straightened out, we should not be surprised if someone follows her footsteps. 30

PNOY'S IDIOTIC DESPERATION OVER THE SABAH CRISIS

I have never seen DESPERATION AS IDIOTIC as what PNoy is going through now with his BASELESS claim of conspirators as being behind the Sabah crisis.

For the SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS, PNoy again claimed that conspirators funded the trip of the men of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III to Sabah in his speech at the commemoration of the Jabidah Massacre.

And for the second time, PNoy DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY of the supposed conspirators. Again, he DID NOT PRESENT ANY PROOF to back up his claim.

Masyado na tayong GINAGAGO ng presidenteng ito.

He is using the mass communications theory which, in a nutshell, states that whatever you say will be eventually taken as truth by your audience as long as you REPEATEDLY, as in REPEATEDLY, say and hammer it into their heads.

Even if you DON’T PRESENT PROOF of what you’re saying.

Ang sinumang MAGPABOLA kay PNoy sa pagkakataong ito, TINUTULUNGAN SIYA PARA MAKALUSOT sa kawalan niya ng KAKAYAHAN para maresolba ang Sabah crisis, at sa kaniyang KAWALAN NG INTERES sa patuloy na pagkamatay ng mga kababayan natin doon.

PNoy himself admitted that a month after the Sabah fighting began, his government has NOT EVEN CONFIRMED the official number of fatalities.

Kung hindi pa rin KAWALAN NG INTERES sa buhay ng mga kapatid nating Muslim ang PAGAMIN na ito ni PNoy, siguruhin lang ng kokontra na may deltalye ang kaniyang magiging depensa.

But you now what is the real COLD-BLOODED TRAGEDY that will make even the skin of a 90-year-old person CRAWL (kikilabutan) with disgust?

PNoy has NOT DONE ANYTHING to stop the bloodshed.

Pero may KAPAL SIYA NG MUKHA para sabihin ito sa kaniyang speech sa Jabidah massacre commemoration:

“Kung para sa iba ay barya lamang ang buhay ng mga Moro, ng ating mga kapwa Pilipino- barya lamang na pwedeng isangkalan para sa sariling interes- para sa akin, mali ang pananaw na ito.”

A   few days ago, he said he prefers to resolve the Sabah crisis through talks. But as I had pointed out in an earlier blog, he DID NOT give even a TIMETABLE, VENUE and NEGOTIATORS for the supposed talks.

Matitigil na ba ang patayan dahil lamang sa nagsalita na si PNoy na dapat daanin sa usapan ang Sabah crisis? Kahit na WALA siyang binigay na anumang detalye?

Malaysia has said offensive police and military operations against Kiram’s men won’t stop until they leave. Kiram has said a withdrawal is out of the question. Therefore, the fighting will go on.

And PNoy is DOING NOTHING CONCRETE about it – no moves for immediate international arbitration, no calls on Malaysia to accept Kiram’s offer for a ceasefire and start negotiations at once, no nothing.,

Habang patuloy ang pagpatay sa mga kababayan nati sa Sabah, patuloy din si  PNoy sa PANGANGFAMPANYA para sa mga kandidato ng kaniyang Liberal Party.

At sa pagdalo sa mga bonggang sosyalan, tulad ng pagbubukas ng Solaire mega casino kamakailan.

Ganiyan siya magpahalaga sa buhay ng mga kababayan nati sa Sabah. Ganiyan kagarapal kung BOLAHIN TAYO NI Pnoy.

And to Presidential Communications Undersecretary Manolo Quezon:

You denied that the commemoration of the Jabidah massacre was triggered by the Sabah crisis.

Really now…Your government, Manolo, has been in power for three years. WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT commemorate It in your first or second year, WHEN THERE WAS NO TROUBLE IN Sabah?

MAGPAPALUSOT ka na lang, Mr. Quezon, BULOK pa style mo. And I thought all along that you were as good as others say you are. 30

HEARTLESS, BRAINLESS REACTIONS FROM PNOY'S GOV'T

Look at how HEARTLESS and BRAINLESS can the PNoy Government be on the reported killings and maltreatment of our innocent countrymen in Sabah:

News reports said the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) will document the reports as it expressed grave concern while asking Malaysia for clarification.

Why do I say it’s HEARTLESS? I don’t see any sense of URGENCY to the DFA reaction. The DFA did not say HOW SOON would they start an investigation and how fast will it take.

There’s no mention of how the probe will be conducted and by whom.As kids nowadays would say, BAHALA NA SI BATMAN.

Our innocent countrymen are either being killed or maltreated by Malaysian police. Assuming that reports are accurate, HOW MANY MORE of our people MUST DIE or be ABUSED first before the DFA acts?

And in a BRAINLESS and PATHETIC attempt to reinforce the DFA pronouncement, Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the reported abuses on our countrymen were unacceptable.

Gobyerno ba kayo ng mga KILLER o BARBARO, Ms. Valte, para maging acceptable o katanggap-tanggap ang diumano’y PANGMA-MALTRATO at PAGPATAY sa mga inosente nating kababayan sa Sabah?

Ms. Valte said the Department of Foreign Affairs will be contacting  Malaysian authorities for talks on the reported abuses.

Clearly, she’s TOO INCOMPETENT NOT TO REALIZE that Malaysia will NEVER ADMIT to any wrongdoing, if ever there’s any. In fact, Malaysian police authorities have already issued a denial in their media. 

Wala  bang mas magaling-galing na tagapagsalita ang Malacanang?

But you know what’s really WORST, no less than Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is trying to make IDIOTS out of us, and the international community monitoring the Sabah fighting.

Razak says no ceasefire would be considered as long as Kiram’s men won’t leave.

There would be NO MORE USE for a ceasefire if Kiram’s men would leave, simply because the fighting WOULD STOP. Unless it would cover fights between animals like cats and dogs, sports tournaments, shooting contests or other opposing parties in competitions

I’m not saying that the reported killings and abuses are true.

But what I’ll say is neither OUR OWN OFFICIALS or those of the MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT have the right to treat us like fools.

That I can’t take, unconditionally. 30

IF PNOY WON'T ACT, DON'T VOTE FOR LP BETS

PNoy had better start vigorously pursuing international intervention following Malaysia’s rejection of a ceasefire offer by Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III to end the fighting in Sabah .

If PNoy won’t do anything, it will be proof that he is for the interests of others first, before that of the Filipino people.

Malaysia’s rejection of the ceasefire offer showed that it won’t listen to PNoy or to any other person calling for the cessation of offensive operations against Kiram’s men.

Not even to United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Kii-Moon, who had called for an end to the violence in Sabah.

Kung hindi makikinig ang Malaysia sa isa o dalawang tao, baka sakaling sa UN o sa ibang mas malalaki at makapangyarihang bansa ay pumayag na sila sa ceasefire.

Whether PNoy likes it or not, Kiram’s men are Filipino citizens, too, and are entitled to all the protection provided for by Philippine laws.

I’m not saying that Kiram’s men have done nothing wrong. But neither have they been proven guilty of anything by any international court.

So under our laws, they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Hahayaan na lang ba ng Gobyernong Aquino na maubos silang lahat doon na parang dagang tinutugis ng pusa?

If PNoy continues to echo the Malaysian line of unconditional surrender instead of personally carrying out measures to help guarantee the safety of Kiram’s men, then there should be no more room for doubt that he is acting like a spokesman for the Malaysian Government..

If PNoy won’t do anything, then there’s no reason to vote for his candidates in the coming elections. We will only glorify his being a weakling through his candidates whom we will vote for.

For the record, I don’t want a shooting war between Malaysia and the Philippines .

What I’m after is for PNoy to show genuine concern to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Kraim’s followers as the father of the nation.

Pilipino rin sila katulad natin. 30

PNOY'S COLD-BLOODEDNESS ON SABAH BLOODBATH

The COLD-BLOODEDNESS PNoy is showing in the ongoing Sabah crackdown on Kiram’s followers is something WE ALL SHOULD KEEP IN MIND, not only for the May elections but for the REST OF HIS TERM.

Various reports say the death toll, from both Kiram’s men and Sabah authorities, has risen to as many as 19. With the determination being shown by Kiram’s men to fight to the death, the body count will most likely rise.

But up to now, PNoy HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING to even try to stop the Malaysian pursuit of Kiram’s men, our countrymen.

As I had indicated in my preceding blog, PNoy has not exerted any effort to personally ask the Malaysian head of state to suspend the pursuit or to GUARANTEE the safety of Kiram’s men who will be caught.

Kumbaga, MAMATAY NA LAHAT KUNG MAMAMATAY ang mga tauhan ni Kiram, WALA SIYANG PAKIALAM/.

And Malacanang had better not have the stomach to point to the Department of Foreign Affairs as the one who should ask for a halt of police action against Kiram’s men.

Only the Malaysian prime minister can order the suspension. To task a lower Philippine official to deal with him on such a sensitive matter is both an INSULT and STUPIDITY.

Kaya ang tanong ngayon, mga kababayan, paano kung maulit sa ibang ugar ang nangyayari ngayon sa Sabah? ANO ang gagawin ni PNoy? Ipaglalaban ba ang mga kababayan natin, o HAHAYAAN RING MAGKAMATAY tulad ng mga tauhan ni Kiram?

I’M NOT SAYING that Kiram’s men have not done anything wrong.

But again, the ownership of Sabah HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED WITH FINALITY by any international court.

Therefore, Malaysia CANNOT claim, legally and morally, that they own Sabah.

Malaysia can still turn out to be a LAND-GRABBER who wants to keep control of

a property owned by our Muslim brothers,  or by our country .

Kiram and his men can still be right, that his family owns Sabah.

Until the contrary is proven before the court, Kiram’s followers are entitled to all the protection they are entitled to under Philippine laws.

 That’s what they need, not treatment FIT FOR A CRIMINAL, or a SELLOUT. 30

PNOY'S SURRENDER ORDER: COWARDICE, ARROGANCE, INCOMPETENCE

PNoy’s order to Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram’s men in Sabah to surrender without conditions is COWARDICE, ARROGANCE and INCMPETENCE all rolled into one.

It’s COWARDICE because instead of fighting for justice for the 10 followers of Kiram who were killed in the shootout at Datu Lahad, PNoy simp[y wants the rest of the pack to leave Sabah and GIVE UP the fight for what they believe is theirs.

Let’s NOT FORGET, guys, that the ownership of Sabah has NOT BEEN SETTLED WITH FINALITY before any international tribunal. So strictly speaking, Malaysia still has NO SOVEREIGNTY over Sabah.

Anybody correct me if I’m wrong but PNoy’s government has NOT uttered even a single word of condemnation on the deaths of Kiram’s followers, our countrymen.

He DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS to personally ask the Malaysian Government NOT TO HARM anyone among Kiram’s remaining followers

PNoy doesn’t even have the balls to personally ask the Malaysian Government for an emergency dialogue as soon as possible to settle the Sabah ownership dispute once and for all to avoid further loss of life.

Kung hindi pa naman KADUWAGAN, at KAWALAN NG PAKIALAM, ang tawag dito…

It’s ARROGANCE because Kiram’s men are NOT UNDER HIM in any manner whatsoever.

I am not a lawyer but I will dare say that there’s NO LAW which says the President of the country can order anyone, anywhere to do anything anytime under any circumstances.

If PNoy or his boys will say that Kiram’s men had violated a law, remember people that the supposed intrusion, or call it whatever you like, happened in Sabah.

NOT HERE IN OUR COUNTRY. COMMON SENSE will tell anyone that the governing law which should be implemented, IF NEED BE, is that of Sabah or Malaysia. Not Philippine law (s).

It’s INCOMPETENCE because PNoy’s government COULD NOT THINK of a DIGNIFIED, WISER and PATRIOTIC solution to the problem.

Instead, they SHAMELESSLY and READILY bow to the Malaysian Government’s demand for Kiram’s followers to leave Sabah unconditionally.

Para na ring sinabihan ang mga kapatid nating Muslim na ‘Sabi ng Malaysia, umuwi na lkayo kaya umuwi na kayo. Wala nang maraming salitaan pa. Iyon ag gusto ng Malaysia.”

Now, think about these, people: 

If you will be ordered like lawbreakers to vacate an area which you rightfully believe is yours, WITHOUT being given a chance to DEFEND YOURSELF, what would you do?

Mga minamahal kong klababayan, ito ang klase ng Presidente na ibinoto ninyo noong 2010. Ito ang klase ng gobyerno na mayroon tayo. 30

PNOY'S GOVERNMENT HAD IGNORED SABAH DISPUTE

Justice Sec. Leila de Lima statement that Pnoy’s government is considering bringing the Sabah territorial dispute to the International Court of Justice to finally settle its ownership once and for all is bopth ALARMING AND REVEALING

It’s INDISPUTABLE PROOF that PNoy’s government had IGNORED the Sabah issue ever since he came into power in 2010, even if the problem has been dragging on for decades as we all know.

Take note, guys, De Lima issued her statement ONLY after 10 to 12 of our countrymen were killed in the shootout that ended the standoff in Datu :Lahad yesterday.

NOT BEFORE. And anybody correct me if I’m wrong, NOT EVEN right after the standoff started.

MALINAW na kung hindi pa sumugod ang mga tauhan ni Kiram sa Datu Lahad, at kung walang namatay sa pagatake ng Malaysian police, WALA PANG GAGAWIN O GINAGAWANG AKSYION ang gobyerno ni Pnoy sa problema sa Sabah.

Sa loob ng HALOS TATLONG taon na niyang pagiging Pangulo.

De Lima said it will take her office a few more days before her office comes up with a legal opinion. 

Take note, guys, just the legal opinion. As to whether or not our country will pursue ownership of Sabah is NOT YET FINAL, and INDEFINITE.

Puwes, dapat nating tanungin si De Lima, mga kababayan, kung ILAN PA BA ANG DAPAT MAMAMATAY, KUNG GAANO KALAKING GULO PA BA ANG DAPAT MANGYARI, bago kumilos, at magdesisyon, ang gobyerno nila?

Kung lumaki ang gulo, at DUMAMI pa ang mamatay o maperhwisyo, habang WALA pa silang pinal na aksiyon, sino ang dapat sisihin ANO ANG GAGAWIN ng Gobyerno ni PNoy.

MAY PLANO na ba sila pag nangyari yun? O SAKA NA MAGIISIP pag may mga magbubuwis pa nga ng buhay?

And before I forget, WHY THE HELL is De Lima, along with Interior and Local Government Sec.  Mar Roxas, Malacanang guys like Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda and other NON-FOREIGN AFFAIRS people doing ALL THE TALKING, PRINCIPALLY, about the Sabah standoff?

It’s Foreign Affairs Sec. Albert del Rosario and his people who should be in the front seat of this affair.  

Mr. Del Rosario, yo and yor people are being made to appear as INCOMPETENT IDIOTS by Malacanang, De Lima and Roxas. HOW CAN YOU STOMACH THIS?

Are you UNDER ORDERS form anyone,  or are you just too PROFESSIONAL and CIVIL to be true? 30

COA PRESS RELEASE CHEAP POLITICAL GIMMICK

The Commission on Audit (CoA) press release on three senators and one congressman who gave funds to a supposedly non-existent non-government organization is nothing less than a CHEAP political gimmick by PNoy and his boys/.

For the crystal-clear reason that the subjects -- Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Senators  Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla and Buhay Party-List Rep. Rene Velarde are all NOT from rhe administration’s Liberal Party (LP).

The COA report came out in media at a time when LP senatorial bets were trailing behind than winning in most surveys.

The ONLY SURVEY which SUDDENLY had 9 LP senatorial bets winning is that of the Social Weather Stations (SWS(, which is publicly known as being controlled by Aquino  relatives or cronies.

And since it’s the campaign season for senatorial candidates, every actual or possible opponent must be destroyed, with whatever means, as early as possible.

If the COA press release was not politically-motivated, then the commission should have come out with its findings on all senators and congressmen SIMULTANEOUSLY.

PARA PAREHAS ang laban. Para hind lang Oposisyon kundi pati mga kakampi ng Pangulo ay mapuna rin sa kung anuman ang nakita ng COA sa paggamit nila ng kanilang pondo.

Unless the COA will say that there’s nothing wrong with the disbursement of funds by Pnoy’s party mates in the Senate and in the House of Representatives.

What makes this COA press release more obvious as a political gimmick is Malacanang’s press statement that it is ready to help, through the Department of Budget and Management, if a Senate probe will be conducted.

Even if they have not been asked by the Senate, or the House, of Representatives, for assistance. Bakit kailangang maakisali agad ang Malacanang?

This is NOT IN DEFENSE of Enrile or the others.

But in the interest of FAIR PLAY, the COA had BETTER STOP releasing partial findings until it is ready t come out with its audit report on ALL SENATORS and congressmen at the same time.

If the COA can’t do that, they had better have rock-solid proof that they’re not under orders from Malacanang or the Liberal Party either to do such a thing. 30
