PRRD AND SEN. BONG GO IN TIMES OF CATASTROPHE

I cannot imagine what extent of misery the victims are going through because of the earthquake that hit Southern Mindanao in succession that started on October 16, October 29, and yesterday, October 31, 2019. Nobody saw it coming, this is the first time that the Mindanaoans encountered and experienced the most despicable and hellish of all. The pain and suffering that comes to them every moment and so on every moment is echoed all over the nation that takes your breath away with fear.

With too much suffering around here and there and everywhere, we are facing already a dead end because at any time, just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. This is what’s important to remember, who are the politicians that are going to be with you during your worst of times?

One of the best things that come out of difficult times is you get to learn who’s really there for you? There’s always gonna be a lot of politicians around when they are asking for your votes. But you’d be surprised how quickly they disappear when you needed them most like in times of catastrophe. This is the time these politicians true character is put to the test.

For VP Robredo and the Yellows, the media, the Clerics, and the protesters, they always tormented PRRD and Sen. Bong Go all the time. But where are these people now? The dumbness people in the room who thinks they are the smartest in the room. You people talking smack should be ashamed. They’re gonna make our life a living hell. That’s the bottom line.

But PRRD and Sen. Bong Go are always the biggest blessing of our life. They are the two leaders that shifted the entire style of the way public servants ought to be perceived and the true leaders that helped the downtrodden and the less fortunate as a whole, jostle its way further to the front of the pack in the Philippine political landscape.

PRRD and Sen. Bong Go keep on sending relief goods by C-130 to the hardest-hit areas and everything is being monitored. And because PRRD is scheduled to fly to Bangkok, Thailand for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit this afternoon, Sen. Bong Go has been task to keep the momentum of the relief operation going.

For PRRD and Sen. Bong Go, the work will be work that they feel very well prepared for and it’s just gonna be a lot of heavy lifting. They decided that this is the only life that they’re going to have and they’re going to make the most of it no matter what. They are the kind of leaders who’s VISION WITH ACTION CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

WHEN YOU SERVE MANKIND, YOU ARE SERVING GOD

By their nature, dangers and odd unexpected events can lurk in the most seemingly innocent of places anytime, even on seemingly endless ribbons of highway.

By far, in the greatest number of cases, the victims of calamities are the people who can least afford to save themselves. Thus, what they’re always concerned about is who would come to help their families through their heartbreaking loss. Their condition is the difference between life and death and could be decided in a single instant by people who learned to trust the urgent guidance of their natural instinct of an Angel to respond with a simple act of kindness.

As soon as tragedy strikes, and with time running out and hope fading, you didn’t seriously think one who’s in need was going to wait around until you get him the things that he really needed. So, Sen. Bong Go always responds exactly when the victims needed him to be there. That’s what Sen. Bong Go is standing on as the country moves through this darkness, and how grateful the people were for his help.

I see a lot of people in my life helping people but Sen. Bong Go, took the cake. Millions around the country have seen and experienced something extraordinary with their own eyes about him. He truly comes to help the victims and he is the biggest blessing of their lives. In fact, there were many circumstances that occur that can raise the qualities of Sen. Bong Go to the level of the miraculous.

For the downtrodden and those with close brushes with death, there is no question; they were a witness to some angelic presence in Sen. Bong Go who they have considered a true miracle. A human fate and destiny Albert Einstein wrote: “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead his eyes are closed.

But the media thought what Sen. Bong Go has been doing was too good to be true and they started to hop down on him like a neighborhood bully trying to be disrespectful and create any issue with such narrative like his act of kindness is “early electioneering.” When the people knew the Senator took offense, the whole social media nitizens exploded and the media cannot protect themselves by the outrage of their wrath.

My Facebook Post expressing my view about the incident reaches the highest decibel of Likes, Shares, and Comments where the netizens run a profanity-laced tirade against the media. It’s an unprecedented shining display of solidarity and support for Sen. Bong Go. To have the netizens stand up beside him, it’s just really overwhelmed the good Senator.

I was locked in about the kindness Sen. Bong has shown to the less fortunate. I found that Sen. Bong had only listened to himself and followed his heart. Thank you, Sir, you’re doing the Lord’s work. Your acts are done for others echoes in eternity.

SEN. BONG GO- THE MAN WHO WALKS SOFTLY BUT CARRY A BIG STICK

The giving of financial help by Sen. Bong Go to the victims of different calamities around the country has become so routine for him even before he became a Senator. But what has entered into the polluted minds of these media people in suspecting Sen. Bong Go as engaging in early campaigning for the 2022 presidential election are mere speculation, surmises, and conjectures. The media just spit out a whole lot of words that they’re going to have to eat.

The said accusation was the absolute last straw that Sen. Bong Go is pissed about and reportedly taken offense. For me, if we’re just keeping it as a fact, the media who basically pretend to be the paragon of the green virtues look at Sen. Bong Go coldly about the good things he was doing with distrust because they are used to seeing traditional politicians after they are elected, they corrupt and they share the money to the media to blow up their image. But Sen. Bong Go was doing the reverse. Instead, Sen. Bong made true his promise of helping the people he was sworn to serve and uplift their condition in life. For this, the public must always cast a wary eye on everything the media is reporting.

When Sen. Bong Go was campaigning to become a Senator, he promised he will not just be a legislator, but also he will serve the people and become their representative. Now, that he became one, Sen. Bong Go has become an ideal revolutionary leader who says what he means and mean what he says – who is deedless in word and wordless in deeds.

I assure all and sundry that this guy, Sen. Bong Go, has shown time and time again that he doesn’t say much but boy his actions just scream at you about his love for the country and the Filipino people that he lifted them out of the depths of despair.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, looking at PRRD and Sen. Bong Go, it was like a vacuum of leadership that just sucks the life out of it. We are now taking a journey into the depths of time and witnessed the kind of leaders we have been praying for who are willing to take the decisive steps and willing to give their lives so others will live.

With PRRD and Sen. Bong, the signs are known...shown... that our dreams are due to happen. And while waiting, try to play and dance and enjoy the sun and the blowing of the wind.

 

VICE-PRESIDENT ROBREDO HAS PROBLEMS WITH HER CHARACTER

Vice President Leni Robredo says it’s time for PRRD to “stop the failed drug war.” She says: The president has already made very serious threats to drug syndicates, to drug lords ... and yet it's still very prevalent, so obviously, it's not working." This statement by Robredo is just begging mediocrity. That’s why she is faded from the spotlight.

Robredo is just spending too much time attacking PRRD by depicting everything he does as black as a pessimist. The drug problem in our country is so huge and to solve them is not a matter of focusing on how it has been started. It’s about who’s finishing, putting together things in order, and who are those guys as the last men standing when the game is closed. The presidency of PRRD is just not over yet so, we shouldn’t be quick to judge. Remember the old cliché’, nothing is over until it is over. Be it noted that there’s no magic wand that can make the problem of drugs go away just like magic. It is better for Robredo to help and start solving the drug problem in her own province.

For Robredo, why can’t she just do something nice for PRRD out of the kindness of her heart? Robredo just chose to blink away out of existence its country’s monumental ascension to progress and prosperity that has been building all day and hitting a crescendo around the country.

Clearly, PRRD saw and is so tunnel vision of what needs to be done for the Philippines, putting his hands on to everything in an unprecedented consistent effort just to make the nation and its citizens lifted up from their suffering. He is locked in and keeping track of the problem of peace and order, drugs, terrorism and insurgency; corruption; health care, free education; infrastructure, Bulacan International Airport, railways; overpass and flyovers, with his build, build, build programs. 

For everyone who had dreams; he now has the means to realize them with PRRD’s free education to fix our children’s present so that they can prosper in the future. That’s what PRRD is doing to serve the people and make the country grow and prosper. PRRD is the biggest blessing of our life because he brings light to everyone whether friend or foe.

This questionable Vice-President gets way too cocky when she taunts our beloved PRRD. Even when she’s getting hit with some disheartening shots, she still continues to showboat as if she’s got this match in the bag against Bongbong Marcos until she does actually get knocked out in the end.

For Robredo, It's about time, "old cold time, old sorrow, settling down in layers like silt in a pond". But she’s unwilling to change and no longer looked at life with optimism. A woman who would like nothing more than crawl into a hole and never come out.

OUR NATION BOWED ITS HEAD IN GRIEF FOR THE DEATH OF A HERO

Today, October 20, 2019, the rude and unwarranted visitor, the unseen, called ‘death’ swung into action, laid its painful hands on our astute and unequal political leader, distinguished SENATOR AQUILINO “NENE” Q. PIMENTEL, JR.

Let me say these meager words in tribute to a hero who once upon a time spent 4 times in prison because he dared to speak against tyranny.

Where many kept a meek silence for fear of retaliation, and still others feigned and fawned in hopes of safety and even reward SEN. NENE PIMENTEL chose to fight. He was not afraid. Money did not tempt him. Threats did not daunt him. Power did not awe him. His was a singular and all exacting obsession: the return of freedom to his country.

And though he fought not in the barricades of war amid the sound and smoke of shot and shell, he was a soldier nonetheless, fighting valiantly for the liberties of the Filipino people against the enemies of his race, unfortunately of his race too, who would impose upon the land a perpetual night of dark enslavement.

The Filipino people owe Sen. Nene Pimentel our freedom and the return of our Democratic System of Government.

Our nation bowed its head in grief.

THE PATTERN OF RECIPROCITY WITH THE INTERPOSITION OF AN IMMEDIATE QUID PRO QUO

Here is a lesson that you can get from the life of ex-PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde-- If you pray to God that your life is transformed from perplexed to comprehension, erase all the vestiges of the skeletons in your closet and live like a Saint.

But when God gave Gen Albayalde what he prayed for, to be the Chief PNP, he needs to put some distance between him and the “Ninja Cops.” But instead, he found it hard to go cold turkey and do without the said relationship because he was so tempted by the pattern of reciprocity of an immediate quid pro quo. Albayalde threw caution in the wind that cliché’ “If you dance with the devil, the devil doesn’t change. The devil changes you.”

As Chief PNP, Albayalde was the main straw that stirs the drink, so to speak, as he had all the control of the entire PNP. There’s no asterisk or no caveat. He had a bit of freedom, and it seems that when he saw the opportunity, he decided to stick his hand in the “Ninja Cops” cookie jar. His insatiable thirst for wealth drove him to betray PRRD who gave him a blanket authority to save the Nation from the demons of the “Ninja Cops” proving that in this case, money really was the root of all evil.

Albayalde got caught in a spiral of lies and deceit and he didn’t know a way to get out of it. This is once again gonna sound cliché’ but I think we can learn that crime doesn’t pay. Looking at it, ultimately an avalanche was coming down on Gen Albayalde sooner or later. It just wasn’t in the cards for him to get away with a crime of this magnitude. It becomes this tangled web and he started with lies and those lies lead to more lies and pretty soon he’s so invested just trying to keep up and the ripple effect has fanned out of control.

EX-Chief PNP Albayalde has become trash in the PNP that he took himself out. A little bit of poetic justice for a bad dude and that’s where this one ends. Always kind of relish to see a little bit of justice happened.

MANONG NENE—SENATOR AQUILINO Q. PIMENTEL, JR.

I thank God Sen. Aquilino ‘Nene’ Pimentel, Jr. is in stable condition now. As we’ve heard, Sen. Nene was brought to the ICU the other day. Sen. Nene, who I respectfully address as ‘Nong Nene’ is one among the few who I respect and admire so highly because of his forthrightness, honesty, simplicity and above all, his political ideology.

At every stage in the history of ‘Nong Nene’ polity, he had made a very great contribution in either building, unifying, salvaging or rather motivating others in promoting good political values and principles in the land. I can, should, and will always consider him in the category of high-flying political juggernauts, one who has also sacrificed his life for a good cause.

From day one of his political life, he distinguished himself as a politician of substance, and he didn’t have a feet of clay, he was real. Sen. Nene Pimentel is somebody to emulate, somebody to look up to. For me, he is a true Filipino hero. I’m praying for Manong Nene’s early recovery. The Filipinos still need him in these trying times.

GEN VICENTE DANAO JR COULD BE THE NEXT CHIEF PNP

As a Filipino who is one among the many who are steadfast in standing behind PRRD, here’s what I can say to kick the issue into the mainstream on who will be the next PNP Chief. THE 4 names mentioned as the probable successor of Gen Albayalde as PNP Chief are the two PMA classmates of Albayalde, the Sinagtala Class of 1986, namely: Gen Gamboa and Gen Cascolan. Another potential successor is Gen Eliazar who is known to be a protégé of Albayalde, and he is the kind of person who chose publicity over silence and became infatuated with fame and celebrity.

The last but certainly not the least, another contender who is the most junior among them is Gen Vicente Danao, Jr. known to be close to PRRD having served as the Davao Police Chief from 2013 to 2016.

If we have to look at things based on what makes sense, any of the 3, Gamboa, Cascolan, and Eliazar that might succeed as PNP Chief, most probably will kowtow like a puppet what they are told by Gen Albayalde because they are one family. The 3 of them have the kind of symbiotic relationships with Albayalde. It’s basically a band of brothers among themselves with a resolve like a tip of the sword deal and it’s the feeling they get when they know that whatever it is they’re doing matters among the group. In short, any of the 3, Gamboa, Cascolan, and Eliazar is just a bitter pill to swallow. They just really couldn’t do anything they needed to do as the Chief PNP with Albayalde behind the curtain pulling the string.

Thus, I am hoping that if only to ensure that our country will not be ripped apart once again and plunge into a drug-ridden nation, none of Gamboa, Cascolan, and Eliazar shall be appointed as the next Chief PNP. In all likelihood, anyone of them would do that is an axiom to which Gen Albayalde subscribes. What PRRD and the Filipinos want is to have a Chief PNP who will stop the menace of drugs, among others, and not one who is just mouthing an empty cliché but in reality a protector and conspirator of the “Ninja Cops”.

If I could suggest to PRRD, I would vouch for Gen Danao to be the next Chief PNP primarily because he moves in different circles than Gamboa, Cascolan, and Eliazar. Most importantly, he has an impeccable record and his lifestyle will prove that he is not corrupt, and he is not one that chose cameras over staying in the shadows and do his job. With Gen Danao, PRRD is assured that being loyal to him as the Commander in Chief was where his heart wanted to lead him.

Accordingly, if we have to transform the PNP, let us not appoint a successor that will only magnify the legacy that Gen Albayalde left behind in the PNP; and that the entire vestiges identified with Albayalde had to be chopped off and no one should be exempted from it.

BREAKING THE LAWS THEY WERE SWORN TO UPHOLD

PRRD’s decision for Albayalde to remain as Chief PNP if only in the interest of due process should not bring Albayalde’s hopes up. I know PRRD is always aware of his virtue that if he appoints you to a position in the government, you can’t straddle the line because he is going to pull the plug on anyone if he catches you doing that. Albayalde decided not to come on board to his duties and responsibilities 100%, thus, he fell into a grave dug by his own inner demons.

Albayalde thought he could have got scotch free when he became the Chief PNP on April 19, 2018; and that golden years are ahead for him. But he cannot escape the ghost of his past and clouds were gathering on the horizon, and the good times couldn’t last forever. Truthfully, good fortune is sometimes balanced by the unfortunate. As any gambler will tell you: lady luck can be fickle and not very ladylike.

Shakespeare wrote: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” People who have it all have everything to lose; and the secrets in their lives would wind up costing them everything.

The investigation into Gen Albayalde’s conspiracy and cover-up of the Ninja Cops in the “Agaw Bato” scheme in Pampanga in 2013; the recycling of the drugs that were confiscated by the police operatives who admittedly had been the protégé of Albayalde, and the robberies, thefts, and break-ins that became their stock and trade up to the present gathered up a head of steam.

It was a crime beyond the pale that horrified the nation. As the evidence keeps building up in the Senate hearing, the scenario that Albayalde had well and truly crossed the line with no scruples to himself as the protector and coddler of the “13 Ninja Cops” loom large.

If Albayalde had still one shred of decency in himself, he has to admit to the crime of conspiracy with the Ninja Cops before he goes for retirement. Albayalde has relatively stained that uniform he has been wearing. More than that, the horror the Senators had unleashed against Albayalde vis-à-vis the Ninja Cops is a stain that will never be erased from the PNP psyche.

They have the kind of life it’s easy to admire, But Chief PNP Albayalde, Maj Baloyo, and the 12 others; they all hold dark secrets that ruined many lives. Nevertheless, they must remember, revenge is a dish best served cold and everybody crosses a dock street by themselves sooner or later. That’s what the Filipino people have been waiting for, to get even with Albayalde and the 13 Ninja Cops who turn against their oath in an extraordinary deceptive way. Now, it was time to even the odds against the paralyzing effect of their horrible crime and it is on its way with a vengeance. Suddenly, the long arm of the law will finally spell out the truth. Gen Albayalde and the 13 Ninja Cops’ case brought along hard look in the mirror.

THE CHIEF PNP IS A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE

Chief PNP (Philippine National Police) Oscar Albayalde may not really at the end of a nightmare for now, but he is certainly at the beginning of one. It has been 2 weeks that the PNP hierarchy is in the headlines because no less than its Chief Director Gerneral Oscar Albayalde has been tag for coddling and protecting the Police “Ninja Cops”. The accusation has torn asunder the entire PNP organization and it will take a long time for the institution to get pass that.

The delivery of the accusation by the retired Lt Gen and now Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong was so honest and heartbreaking that permeates to everybody else that you have to be a brick wall not to let that affect you. Mayor Magalong dug up everything he could about the accused Albayalde that absolutely do not have any boundaries as to the truth of his accusation that it was taken as gospel by the Filipino people. The case against Albayalde was just unstoppable juggernaut as the good Senators in the Senate Committee hearing did everything they could think of that will add to the sensationalism of the case and milked the emotions of the public.

It seemed like that the PNP Chief slipped through the system and his case made much press attention that I think it came to a point where he has become a square peg in a round hole. And no matter how Albayalde tries to squeeze through his guilt with an embittered fashion, his effort would always be futile and in vain. If we’re just keeping it a whole stack everything goes down to the established doctrine that “It is not only what you do but also what you do not do for which you are accountable.” In the case of Albayalde, it is worst because he did both in the sense that he is like a two-headed monster and both of them need get fed. His act in protecting the “Ninja Cops” keeps people on pins and needles. With this, it goes to prove that no matter what Chief PNP Albayalde does to drive out the darkness that is cast upon him; there can be no light that is able to drive out the demons within him.

Chief PNP Oscar Albayalde is in a KARMA that it’s like this vortex you can get in and can’t get out. Albayalde right now is just in a situation that everything he tries to prove his innocence, it was resulting in really becoming worse. Albayalde may not be the upstanding citizen after all that Filipinos think he is. Albayalde was going deeper and deeper into putting the Nation into a precarious and perilous situation if he continues to be the Chief PNP.

Albayalde had built himself a house of cards in the PNP that was teetering on the verge of collapse and it all came crashing down on him when Mayor Magalong uncovered his dirty corrupt practices. Here’s a person that could be very desperate in clinging to his position. Oftentimes, when people are that invested in creating a false persona, they are willing to do anything to try to keep that a secret.
