MY 22nd POST-- I’M HOPING PRES. MARCOS, JR WOULD HAVE A SENSE OF DÉJÀ VU WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FATHER.

 

Pres. Marcos, and his first Lady, have the same chemistry, connectivity and creativity. Both are always enjoying their tour around the world to flaunt their new identity to as many ears and eyes as they could reach. And while the first couple are jet sitting, our country, on the other hand, remain in decay and ruins due to Corruption. In hindsight, Mr. Marcos keeps dodging the bullet from resolving the widespread Corruption. He declared with implacability, he has nothing to do with it and “he will leave it as is” because it was insoluble. Truly, such conclusive pronouncement was inappropriately posited. It does not require a stretch of the imagination to conclude that it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with the conditions the citizens are in, or even stirs people to anger, move them to tears and sorrow, and inflict great pain. Moreover, such declaration has progressively escalated the frantic nature of the citizens’ safety and jeopardy which is reaching severity. With the said revelation, Mr. Marcos is digging his hole.  

I don't see how any freedom-loving citizens of our country can look at Pres. Marcos and not instantly conclude that they don’t like what hurtful words Mr. Marcos had said. In fact, Pres. Marcos infringed his qualified immunity by violating clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known a right is clearly established; and that every reasonable official would have understood that what he is doing violates that right.  May I encourage Pres. Marcos to familiarize himself about the essence of his oath of office upon which he clearly broken; that he has the mandatory duty and obligation to protect and serve the country and its citizens, to provide security and welfare -- to make life easy, provided with good things of life. Pres. Marcos, being a quitter, he will not be able to bring the economy back on track with Corruption committed at will. Which is why, until now the people were still living in gloom and were gloomy due to unrestrained activity of Corruption committed by public officials because Mr. Marcos stoop to bow down to solving the same.

I can see the horror on the faces of the people. They looked distracted and they want to alert everyone what future the Filipinos is going to have. My mouth was kind of drawn and tight. By his words and action, I could tell that Pres. Marcos hasn’t considered the prevalence of Corruption in the government as something that should be taken seriously. With such unprofessional and heartless posture viz-a-vis Corruption, a fortiori, there's nothing stopping Mr. Marcos from doing more than that. His posture is indeed a slippery slope with no Safety Net.

I had little to do to process and gird everyone for what was ahead. In real time, the horror that played out in my mind and soul have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and unyielding anger across the board. But we had to resort to peaceful means through the power of the pen, and not through force, at least, as an opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign to free the Filipino people against possible hardship or adversity due to widespread Corruption.

In this country of ours where a government via a President can destroy your life figuratively or even literally speaking for any reason at all, but we, Filipinos, ALWAYS not take it sitting down.  You can reference my point to what happened to former Pres. Marcos, Sr, the father of Pres. Marcos, Jr, in 1986. The nation had witnessed an act of EDSA REVOLUTION that ousted Pres. Marcos, Sr. I’M HOPING THAT PRES. MARCOS, JR WOULD HAVE A SENSE OF DÉJÀ VU WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FATHER.

MY 21ST POST-- THIS IS MY MESSAGE, THIS IS RIGHT FROM MY HEART, THIS IS MY DEEP-FELT POLITICAL BELIEF: SO LONG AS MR. MARCOS IS THE PRESIDENT, THE NATION WILL ALWAYS BE UNPRODUCTIVE DUE TO CORRUPTION.

 

 

In many ways, it is Corruption that is at the core of the Nation’s downfall or success, and at least, at the core of the views and the public opinion of foreign countries on the Filipinos. 99 percent of the Filipino citizens put the crime of Corruption in their top 5 priorities…and one in three say the issue of corrupt public officials is their number one concern. That’s because for us, the crime of corruption by public officials is a hurt we feel each day. Nearly 80 percent out of 110 million of our population are marginalized poor suffering from poverty. Look at the people sitting on either side of you. Imagine one was a marginalized poor, no food, no home, no job– forced to live on razor’s edge (kapit sa patalim). They are alive… but being alive is not the same as surviving.

We have to be concerned with Corruption, which is now widespread across the country because we’re living with its consequences. We don’t have the luxury of shifting our focus away. Otherwise, the more corrupt public officials gain leverage, they can exploit… and the greater the risk of instability we're going to encounter. That’s why we decry Pres. Marcos’s action in shifting away his focus from corruption. So, we, the Filipinos, must denounce the declaration of our Pres. Marcos for displaying blatant disregard to his Constitutional duties and obligations TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE COUNTRY AND ITS CITIZENS re: his revelation that he will just leave the issue of Corruption “just as it is,” which in tagalog, “Pabayaan nalang natin yan.” For this, his shameless persistence in a stern manner based on his ambiguous notion which he failed to elaborate further, is a gratuitous humiliation to himself and a testament to the true tone of his adamant stand to neglectfully solve corruption in government. This created a cloud of confusion and distrust upon him among the citizenry as to his capability, effectiveness, competence, and respectable presence as a President.

I respectfully challenge the logic and legitimacy of Mr. Marcos in declining to resolve the issue of Corruption. Moreso, the Filipinos strictly mean business and the President’s minute of fame were numbered and we have plenty of time to do it. It is worthy to stress, that any public official who displays such reckless neglect for Constitutional rights should have their authority questioned. Setting aside Pres. Marcos’s unprofessional remarks, much of his conduct could likely be considered unconstitutional. Indeed, Mr. Marcos demonstrated his ignorance of his rights and obligations as the President that would have a lasting effect that resonates throughout the entire country. In this case, Pres. Marcos’s conduct is unnecessary; likely illegal, and only served to create conflict. Pres. Marcos sealed his own fate via the Court of public opinion. Clearly, it is incomprehensible that Pres. Marcos, while acknowledging the proliferation of Corruption in the government but instead of obligating himself to resolve the same, he chose to ignore it.

Thus, the Filipinos are impatient when it comes to Corruption because time has not been a friend. Distraughtly though, the crime of Corruption in our government, which is our existential foe, seems like our leaders used to describe it as intractable, even insoluble. But for the many Filipinos, it is clear from the sequence of life that these Presidents that have gone and come, they are all indifferent to care about the issue of Corruption because they are also allegedly into Corruption.

 

 

THIS IS MY 20TH POST-- PRES. MARCOS IS WRONG, A LOT. WE HAVE NO PATH FORWARD AND CORRUPTION WILL BE THE CATALYST FOR THE NATION’S DOWNFALL.

 

With Pres. Marcos, Jr, walls are going up, not coming down. The decades have brought what feels like an endless parade of starts and stalemates … missed opportunities… shattered hopes… and diminishing returns. That illuminate the truths about our country’s situation and circumstances; this is now the quintessential examples of the effects of corruption that Pres. Marcos keeps evading to confront head-on. I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW HIS CRITICAL THINKING WORKS. YOU’LL BE THE JUDGE. The degradation is compounded by the sense that no one cares… that Pres. Marcos is oblivious to the hardships the Filipinos endure. And the worst threat of all is the cynicism so many people feel… the sense that Filipinos’ peace is hopeless… that we’ll never find a solution. If Pres. Marcos says we throw up our hands and say, “The problem of Corruption cannot be stopped,” we’re not just writing off a “process”… or writing off a “road map.” We’re writing off people’s lives.

The government treasury is always out of money that they’re now scrambling which source they will dive into to fund different important social services. It’s like tracing your finger on a Mobius Strip, going round in an infinite loop. What the government are now eyeing is the creation of the MAHARLIKA FUND using pensioners money and the money deposited in the Central Bank—JESUS-MARIA-E-JOSEPH, it feels like a blow to our very existence. You see, it’s not about how much money you earned; it’s about how much you can save and keep moving forward. Here’s the thing: Imagine our government has a container where all the country’s resources are stored in order to function effectively. No matter how many Billions the economy is pumping into the container that it took years to reach to save them, you can’t stop these Snakes being around on the very top of the food chain, and they bite off more than they can chew.

The President controls the doorway of the container, and he’s in charge of what he gives access to. But we are now living at a time when Corruption has the cultural significance in our country today. The corruptors/thieves have now taken up residence in the house. That means, they are connected to the supply line and they’re going to let it run dry. Fear, worry, doubt, insecurity that have ruled the space in our country are very strong because the thieves are all living in the house. Dragging us down, stealing our money, taking our peace. Your hatred has to go out to them as they actually sprinkled bad luck to the nation. That is the way it’s been, that’s the way it would continue, unless they will be stopped.

Mr. Marcos, Jr was given an honor and the responsibility by the 31 million Filipinos to be the President of our Philippine Republic. Then, the citizenry would now have a reasonable expectation the Pres. Marcos will do his duty and obligation as President. Clearly, Corruption is by any measure the biggest issue to be addressed by Pres. Marcos in our country. However, Mr. Marcos stated in that interview by Mr. Erwin Tulfo that and I quote “YUNG CORRUPTION, TALAGANG HINDI MATITIGIL YAN. DAHIL AS I KEEP REMINDING EVERYONE, CORRUPTION IS NOT A FILIPINO CONDITION, IT IS A HUMAN CONDITION.” This declaration by Pres. Marcos completely derailed his duties and obligations as President from the beginning. It’s kind of he just become the President of the Nation in order to pour salt into the wounds of the people. How many more damage our country will suffer due to the implicit bias of Pres. Marcos viz-a-vis corruption in his administration. Thus, he betrays both the trust of the public and the oath he has sworn to.

Now, the Filipinos are faced with an impossibly difficult and emotional traumatizing situation with Mr. Marcos. It demonstrates the lengths that he was willing to go in an effort to advance his own career at the expense of innocent citizens. Be careful who you have around as the President because a lot of people who you think you can trust, you can’t.

May I say to Mr. Marcos, if you're not able or you're not willing to live up to that honor and responsibility, get out of that position. I say to the good public officials in the entire administration, if you see a fellow official that's unwilling or unable to live up to that responsibility, don't tarnish your name by standing there doing nothing. You need to intervene; you need to say we are subject to the law and you may not violate the law by using your power to commit corruption; and you may not cover up a matter.

FOR PRES. MARCOS, JR, WE, THE FILIPINOS, NEED TO SEE SIGNS OF HOPE, WE NEED SUSTAINED COMMITMENT… CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT… AND LEADERSHIP… TO KEEP THE NATION ON THE PATH TO PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE. FOR NOW, YOU ARE A FAILURE. SAYANG LANG ANG 31 MILLION WHO VOTED FOR YOU. YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF MR. P R E S I D E N T.

THIS IS MY 19TH POST-- TOP-DOWN ASSESSMENT ON PRES. MARCOS, JR. AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAND

 

Although Mr. Marcos didn’t seem to care about corruption, we the citizenry should not allow his indifference to his oath of duty as the President of our country to dissuade us from exercising our rights to bring this issue to the public forum.       

How many more damage to our country it would take for the people to realize that we have to unite and force the government to do drastic measure to stop the rising toll of corrupt public officials to continue their routine to ablaze the country with their trail of evil cons or will the good guys throw gas on their fire. God Bless the President, God Bless the Filipinos, God Bless the Philippines.

 

In hindsight, when Pres. Marcos, Jr. was interviewed one time by Mr. Erwin Tulfo what he will do about the corruption in the government, he answered: “Yung corruption, talagang hindi matitigil yan. Dahil as I keep reminding everyone, corruption is not a Filipino condition, it is a human condition.” This knockout statement without reasonable belief based on specific and articulable facts is a reckless disregard of his Oath of Office as President of this country. Hence, it is difficult to rationalize for its unproductive overreaction to do so, driven by his emotional responses rather than a desire to protect and serve the citizenry. Mr. Marcos also failed to consider the psychological implications of emotional distress, severe physical, mental, and emotional harm it would have to the Filipino people. This happenstance highlights a clear disconnect between the functionality and the implication associated with his position as President, and his interest in preserving the security, well-being, and logical practicality of his constituency. This shows two rough possessions in a row by Pres. Marcos, Jr.

Mr. Marcos’s reason why he believes Corruption cannot be stopped is clearly unreasonable because as President, his job is meant to be executed in service of the greater good of society. But sadly, the nature of his stance often created an environment conducive to abuse, and semantically justified wrongdoings. I’m almost certain that Pres. Marcos had been dealing with a mentally and likely physically taxing situation and he was under a lot of emotional stress for a litany of reasons that he was ignorant of the entire totality of the circumstances and the ramifications happening across the Nation as the result of Corruption.  Therefore, nothing that Pres. Marcos did was conducive to establishing an environment of trust and confidence with the citizenry and the entire world. By expanding on this analysis, Pres. Marcos, by maintaining his unprofessional and dispassionate attitude about his stance not to do anything about Corruption, this solidifies the notion he has obviously violated his oath of Office as President of the Philippines.   

Indeed, Pres. Marcos, Jr in exercising poor discretion by choosing to ignore corruption rather than solving it, has violated several policy standards under the Constitution, and for demonstrating poor character and an overall questionable ethical aptitude. There’s no doubt that his decision to put the issue of corruption on the side line was a serious ethical question where a President in performing his mandated task must see to it that he is making the most reasonable and ethical decision possible within the bounds of his authority as President. He is required to perform his oath of office with honor under the Constitution. His oath of Office explicitly promotes accountability in maintaining high ethical standards, and that Presidents who neglect to consider the ethicality of their decisions are essentially betraying their oath.

For Pres. Marcos, in failing to fulfill his job description, he demonstrated a behavior that trivialized the social impact and diminished his relationship with his constituents and the entire world. I urged my fellow countrymen to bring his misconduct in allowing Corruption “to proliferate forever” be questioned in the proper forum. Corruption has now become a tradition and culture in our country, in the sense, that as public officials, it is natural for them to claim the privilege to corrupt without regard to the tears and sufferings to most of the citizens. The Filipinos are now among the scrub at the lowest level to the standard of living in the world. Our dreams in life were somewhere way off in the distance.

When you get into these bad signs, when more than one thing goes wrong at the same time, it can be kind of like a perfect storm that can be ominous. You cannot throw caution to the wind. Are we going to wait to hit rock bottom so we can get back up?

THIS IS MY 18TH POST-- WE ARE NOW FLOATING IN SHARK-INFESTED WATERS, OR GOING ABOUT INTO THE JAWS OF A LION AS PRES. MARCOS, JR. WATCHED INTENTLY.

 

There is no doubt that the lives of the Filipinos are eviscerated because of the corrupt system in the government. President Marcos, Jr. didn’t want to do anything about it because for him, “talagang hindi matitigil yan; it is a human condition.” This was the statement that pulled the bottom out of his world and made him regret his choices; the phrase is the caprice that seemed cruelly inappropriate for a President, kind of leaving the Filipinos floating in shark-infested waters to be eaten or going about into the jaws of a lion.  

Pres, Marcos, Jr. failed to consider, that when you decide to confront the problem, it can lead to so many good things to happen. But sadly, he chose to cringed and shrank against the wall with an involuntary gasp from solving Corruption. This is a testament to his terrible exercise of his duties and obligation as President of the Philippines, and this type of conduct only serves to erode the public confidence on him. What he was talking about, that tells every Filipino that’s not just smoke, there’s some fire, then, that might be elevated to the point where Pres. Marcos, Jr. is willing to give up his people, making their lives a living hell. He is driving us down the trail of tears back to an emptier and lonelier house. That’s the bottom line.

If that’s the case, how would that be our country’s interest is difficult to fathom. How would pushing everyone to the grave making our country great again? The law of unintended consequences is surely in play. Being the President, Marcos, Jr. must emit a piercing whistle that gathers a head of steam too high and have the government on a string, and more importantly in his vision to get rid of Corruption. Corruption is in fact a fight in which there shouldn’t be any losers. But if Pres. Marcos Jr, chooses to back down from the challenge like a frightened rabbit, it will certainly end with no winners.

We must pressure Pres. Marcos, Jr. It’s like, “He who cannot obey himself will be commanded”. Therefore, let’s take him to deep waters to put his alleged vocation to give the Filipinos a better life to the test. Corruption, like a plague, has brought our country to economic doldrums and poverty. That was in a way hard to watch but in a way, you couldn’t look away. You know we are in a fight and we aren’t about to give any chances to be defeated, but to overcome what’s trying to stop you.

Pres. Marcos, Jr. should have known better that among the things that you think would preclude success to a country, nothing beats corruption that is wide ranging and uncontrollable, like the Philippines. His approach in refusing to solve corruption because “It was not a Filipino condition, but a Human condition”, trampled his duties and obligation as President to compile a pathetic excuse without reasonable basis. Truly, Pres. Marcos, Jr. preposterously worked this hard to neglect common sense by not doing anything about the problem of corruption in the country for which he is the President regardless of the illegality or immoral connotation associated with the inaccuracy of his action and decision.   

THIS IS THE 17TH POST INTENDED TO AWAKEN PRES. MARCOS, JR. THAT PUTTING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROW THE SERIOUS ISSUE OF CORRUPTION, IS UNACCEPTABLE.

 

I’m not about to sit here and give you a whole spiel, but the Filipinos are waiting for some content, some cold hard content why corruption is still very much alive and bursting with a flash from an old-fashion approach into a modern-day world type scheme to commit it. One of the disturbing aspects of the matter is that, instead of moving forward to positive trajectory towards getting rid of corruption, Pres. Marcos, Jr., curiously enough, had the crime of corruption very much in his rearview mirror and he just couldn’t place his finger on it. Strangely, such errant ways of going astray, shirking away from responsibility by Pres. Marcos, Jr., the corruptors are committing corruption in a free-wheeling and loose spirit, in form or manner; breaking all the norms with undeniable dominance. For now, the corruptors are manhandling the nation’s native state into a dog pile on the rabbit. They are the boss in the field.

Heretofore, you all have been paranoid or full of anxiety because the government keeps dragging out the spectacle instead of sparking corruption out quickly. Feeling abandoned, disappointed and on the verge of defeat, it was time to awaken Pres. Marcos, Jr. to fight back. Enough with the survival mode. It was time to map out a worthy plan to deal with this serious issue of corruption; and that the corruptors be prosecuted as they keep stealing from the coffers of the government in king-sized portions simply for the love of money. The fact of the matter is, the Filipinos are just fed up with corruption happening anywhere in every department and agency of the government across the country outdoing one another. That’s why, the latest evolution about corruption that these public officials began for decades, we want them over and culminated now; write it off full stop.

Some people learned already how to defend against corruption through social inference and by association with living examples from the life we live that teaches us the lessons. Pres. Marcos, Jr. must welcome different ideas, and value everyone’s own contribution by showing them appreciation and respect, and then, solidify which one is really effective in battling Corruption, instead of a laid-back look. That’s just how the world works. Great ideas are adopted, built upon and improve. That’s how technology, that’s how art and science and everything in life progresses. That is at its core where innovation of any sort begins.

The only important thing is that Pres. Marcos, Jr. must realize that corruption is the root cause of all the evils that’s happening in our country; in the sense that no matter what he does, it will not result to the nation’s economic growth, unless corruption is resolved.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL CORRUPTION IS ADDRESSED BY PBBM

From oct. 18, 2022 to date, Nov. 29, 2022, this is the 16^th post I made on my face book account regarding my advocacy campaign for Pres. Marcos, Jr. to address corruption as his centerpiece in his administration. I HOPE WITH THE FULLNESS OF GOD’S GRACE, AND WITH EVERYBODY’S SUPPORT, TOGETHER WE WILL BE ABLE TO AROUSE PRES. MARCOS, JR. TO COME TO HIS SENSES.  

The idea of Pres. Marcos, Jr. to put corruption committed by public officials on the sideline is a sick idea; it has no redeeming social value, zero, none. His silence on the rise of corrupt public officials across the country only signals his complicity. He created into the equation in his mind that he was the only one who could make sense of it. But clearly, he is taking people’s minds away from the evils they are doing. Truly, if you are neutral on the issue of corruption, you are in conspiracy with the corruptors. Actually, the problem we’re having today is everybody thinks that because you are in the position of power and influence, there’s two rule books: one for everybody else, and one for the people of influence. There often wasn’t much going on with PBBM as he certainly lacks the willingness to solve the biggest issue that is corruption in the government.  

Indeed, the Filipinos now have a President with no empathy and it’s heartbreaking. His moves are currently herding the polity to the boiling point. By ignoring it, Corruption is now part of our existence as a Filipino and we have to live and die with it. It is significant to note that our President has no willingness to address Corruption, and in fact, clearly lack the capability to make fundamental change necessary to reduce it. Instead, we fall into the typical pattern from previous leaderships to not stop the madness of committing Corruption. It’s sad, poverty seems to be sweeping our nation. The unemployment rate has recently been at all-time highs and the country’s debt is just getting larger and larger. So, no amount of economic downturn, will give Mr. Marcos, Jr. and his minions-politicians the willingness to address a uniquely Filipino problem. I’m discombobulatedly confused why this is happening when for me, we, Filipinos, are not inherently more scoundrel than the rest of the planet, nor we have the monopoly on mental health problem in the Philippines.

The 31 million Filipinos who voted for Pres. Marcos, Jr. longed for the commencement of hope and the lifeline that was concealed in the unfolding mind of every Filipinos living in the serene setting of traditional and rural regions carrying the grief and the horror that was inflicted by the consequences of corruption. That with him, they can see the bright lights in their lives. Nevertheless, another upset of immense proportions has been felt as thunder that our nation bowed its head in grief. I hope Mr. Marcos, Jr. would start doing things right.’

For Mr. Marcos, Jr, may I say, you have to love this country, believe in this country, lift up the people in this country, and do everything you can to make sure that they believe you get up every morning and not bigot by house thinking about yourself. I’m sorry Mr. President but when the 31 million Filipinos made you their President, it can put you a bit of a target on your back if you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing. So far, you are under achieving and static on the radar. You better be sure to put on a show that the intensity of your light is sufficiently great. I hope you search your heart if you get the point across. 

 

HOW PRES. MARCOS, JR. SHOCK THE WORLD IN A BRAGGADOCIO MANNER

 

Mr. President, you came with a death start gravity when you shocked the whole world with your declaration “THAT CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS JUST SUCH A MUNDANE ACTIVITY THAT I CONSIDER THE ISSUE AS ORDINARY OCCURRENCE IN OUR DAILY LIVES”. It was an obliteration; it was an annihilation. When Pres. Marcos, Jr. made his choice to choose he would put the issue of corruption on the back burner, that was extremely suboptimal and basically provocative; and that it was a precursor of horrible things to come to the nation that you could ever imagine. If Mr. Marcos does not drop the gauntlet on the issue of corruption, the corruptors will be laughing their hearts out, and that’s really the bottom line.

Mr. President, maybe, you have now realized how off-tangent and inappropriate your revelation that it was the most unforgiving sin of all. Because of that, our country would now be seen as a portrait of dysfunction. The 31 million votes that catapulted you as President was the highest votes ever in the Philippine history of politics and you are supposedly going to milk that for all you are worth. So, spend your time in our Homeland to focus and lock-in on corruption which is the biggest issue to be concerned about for which you have control, and seizing the moments.   

Mr. President, with all due respect, you have to realize that the country has now come down where big fish eat small fish; and small fish eat mud. All the pain, hardships, and danger to everyone, are the ramifications of the corruption by the public officials. They are caught in the grip of avarice to the extent of ignoring the inner moral compass in favor of amassing more and more wealth that brought most of the Filipinos into penury.

The stereotype approach of every new president in our country is to travel to foreign countries to hunt for investment as a way to boast our economy. When can we ever learn that the approach is such a poor solution?  This is just the stuff of folklore false narrative or small sample sized theatre. Mr. President, you probably know at least a thing or two about the corruption scandals in the country. If you dig deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, you’ll realized that as far as the foreigners are concerned, you are nothing to them in the sense that everything you say to convince them to invest is often taken with a grain of salt. Therefore, what you must do, first and foremost, is change the image of our country from being known as one of the top five most corrupt countries in the world, into a corruption free Philippines. Such would be the clickbait draw for foreigners to invest, which is the prime seismic of success.

THE DECISION OF PRES. MARCOS, JR TO LEAVE CORRUPTION FOR A WHILE WITH ALL ITS CONSEQUENCES, IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL TALES THAT MIGHT BE FOUND TO BE THE ANCIENT GREEK STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE IN THE PHILIPPINE HISTORY BOOK.

 

The statement of PBBM that “corruption cannot be stopped, and that he has to leave it as is”, clearly, was a comfort spot for him. He has no foreboding of what fate had in store for the Filipinos. This is irresponsible utterances by a President who has given up solving the biggest issue of corruption without even lifting a finger yet. Thus, it left a bad taste in most people’s mouth as you could imagine. It just epitomizes how apocalyptic the nation is going to be with this President during the entire duration of his term. Thus, the Philippines would have to subsist as a treasure trove of horrors --the unrelenting corrupt practices of our government officials and more looting of public funds, and/or pulverizing yet some more of our already impoverished and devastated nation that their metamorphosis was rapid.

It bears to the most primitive of reasons, this was kind of another brick in the wall that is much bigger than PBBM stands on the floor. It was a lasso tossed at him as President that his popularity seemed forever fading over the horizon. He never imagined this would go so epically wrong. For Pres. Marcos, Jr. to turn his back from corruption, which should even be everyone’s Holy Grail to pursue, was a clear display of condescending superiority, if not sarcastic, regard for the middle class and down to the poorest of the poor on account of their being small, weak, and helpless that they deserve to suffer a plethora of hardships to eternity. Having said that, I'm deeply touched  bringing a tear to my eye how our countrymen are being genitalized rather than respected. 

An important component to peel out is that, in every tick-tack, tick-tack of time that Pres. Marcos, Jr. will passively sit and watch corruption proliferate, the damages to our country are going to ramp up out of proportion that surely scare the living bejesus out of everyone. It is because the corruptors keep doing the same thing anywhere and everywhere day in and day out stealing money while laughing their hearts out.

FIXING THE PUBLIC GAZE UPON THE EXCEEDING BRIGHTNESS

 

 

My advocacy campaign for my proposal labeled as “Comprehensive Reward Program to Stop Corruption” started in mid-august of 2019, when I sent the said proposal to the various important figures in the government (their names withhold herein as not to offend them). I also posted the said proposal on Face Book. I was left with a mode of bitter disappointment because nobody was hearing me. But I just have to persevere, and whatever happens, I just have to get through it and never give up on my advocacy campaign.

For me, it’s discombobulating that the "Protectors" are so much against my proposal to STOP CORRUPTION. Well, it could be because the need to protect their kind is clearly a very strong instinct. Otherwise, why aren’t they not in favor when it should have been an enormous elixir to economic growth. These people with a black soul hide behind the smiling appearance, are willing to continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror, and the very real threat for anarchy to breakout in our country.

Corollarily, the place we have to start pointing fingers at, is that the "Protectors" found out that my idea to solve corruption is so effective that it will be the fate that could befall them and will end their heydays to corrupt. They were probably swelling their pants at the prospect that said proposal will be carried into fruition. Therefore, they reckoned that if they’re going to approve it, it’s like putting a noose around their necks and commit suicide. Thus, understandably, they opted to ignore it to keep them safe. I THOUGHT THERE'S NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES?

 

I’M TELLING PRES. MARCOS, JR. TO SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT

 

During the last presidential election, I was fighting for BBM’s victory because I thought, he would avenge the bad blood against his father, former Pres. Marcos, Sr. reflected in the History Book, as “the most corrupt President in the world”. I thought that the people can expect to get some cherries with chocolate from him when he becomes President just to show the Marcos pedigree hated corruption. That is how it should settle in. But now, when he declared in public, he would not stop corruption done by his public officials to the people, I will fight him with words through my FB Posts hoping to draw support from the people suffering from poverty which stands in glaring contrast to the abundance we ought to have if there wasn’t this serious predicament of corruption.

PBBM has gone too far; delivering the country into an unfiltered hype often exaggerating its importance or benefits but they didn’t come anywhere close to making the country looking better. The way he does business is frowned upon among the political landscape. There are some big questions to be answered and some answers to be questioned. The entire wealth of the nation resides in the welfare and the well-being of its citizens. The leader must watch them enviously to protect and defend the people’s well-being against the appetite of the public officials who corrupt.

I am willing to draw parallel to that Chinese student who stood in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square in 1989. I will also stand up against Pres. Marcos, Jr. though hell should bar the way. It is clear dark storm clouds begin to form again with Pres. Marcos, Jr. Thus, I have to fight him if only to let him realize that corruption must be stopped because it is the boundary zone that tells the difference between life and death of the nation and its citizens. Pres. Marcos, Jr. must Shape up or ship out.

PRES. MARCOS, JR. SAID, CORRUPTION CANNOT BE STOPPED. I CHALLENGE YOU MR. PRESIDENT, YOU CAN STOP CORRUPTION IF YOU WILL IT!!!

 

In the interview during the presidential campaign that was broadcasted on PTV-4, Pres. Marcos, Jr said. “Yung corruption, talagang hindi matitigil yan. Dahil as I keep reminding everyone, corruption is not a Filipino condition, it is a human condition.” Mr. President, if you want to do it, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse. Now, because you spoke it out that corruption cannot be stopped, you are giving life to what you are saying. It's because nothing is more powerful than what you say about yourself. By saying that corruption is unstoppable, you are condemning the Filipinos to be a victim forever rather than a victor.

Mr. President, Corruption is the biggest fish to fry. To start on an extreme note, the people have been pushed to the end of their tether; that is how the Corruptors have the nation wrap around their fingers. Mr. President, please show to your people that you’re the guy who wears your heart on your sleeve. Otherwise, your fall will come hard and fast. Mr. President, are you not ruminating why the media is not criticizing and kicking you down yet? It’s their twisted strategy because all you are doing so far are not advancing and creating anything that make the country looking better. But instead preventing you from achieving progress to the nation. They are applying what Napoleon Bonaparte said: Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Mr. President, we must complete our economic recovery from the embers of the past in a way that does not plunge us back into new forms of domination and oppression. There isn’t special that we have to do in our economic recovery game plan. It is only doing the one thing we should have done in the past decades—leaders must live by example to stop corruption and should wield the power that their excellence affords, which is our transcendent talent and never say die attitude potential.

Mr. President, if you're not living under the rock, you should know that winning against corruption is guaranteed as a panacea that could be described as an all eggs in one basket scenario. Once the corruptors are wipeout, it will transform the country’s change in fortune, from rags to riches. That’s why, how to catch these thieves should be your first, second, and third priority.

CORRUPTION MUST BE STOP OR ELSE ANARCHY WILL PREVAIL. MY SOLUTION TO CORRUPTION IS A VICTORY THAT OF LIFE OVER DEATH.

 

We fall so that we can learn. But when can we ever learn the lesson that it is corruption that are lighting our country on fire like a dragon who’s tearing apart the existing government? I’m telling you that we have now a sick society that is doomed due to massive corruption. I’ve been telling the government a number of times through letters to the Senators and through my fb posts for a span of 3 years already that I can solve corruption almost immediately, if you will give me a chance to explain. But no one and nobody was hearing me leaving me into a mode of bitter disappointment. If we still remain deaf and blind, that brings our country closer to anarchy, not farther from it.

Our leaders haven’t able to solve corruption until now even as the corruptors squeeze the country into bankruptcy and lay it waste and bare of all that is considered necessary to life. The blatant and fearless sprees of corrupt practices in government are now beyond the pale that the pain runs deep and debilitating to every Filipinos. Does this mean our leaders are mediocre to know how to solve the problem of corruption?

I have worked for almost 32 years on how to solve corruption because I want every Filipinos to have a quality of life that they never had because of corruption in the government. Sadly, my call through fb to take notice of my proposal to solve corruption was futile and in vain. Are we going to be playing deaf and blind of this corruption done by public officials to the Filipinos forever?

MY ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN TO STOP CORRUPTION IS LIKE THE RAIN THAT BEGINS WITH A SINGLE DROP. IF I CAN HAVE YOUR SUPPORT, THEN, COMES A RISING TIDE THAT WILL LIFT US ALL INTO A CORRUPTION-FREE PHILIPPINES

PBBM irrefragably started his presidency with a wrong foot, and he is not even busting a few humps by dealing with the paramount issue of Corruption. His fundamental decision on areas of probabilities that for him could drastically change our future path in the cornerstone of life cannot be deciphered in all shapes and forms to be well suited to putting our fate in safe hands. Everything that PBBM has been doing so far had no stroke of humanity shine, least, a ray of hope in the darkest times, a silver lining. This is because he did not have the right formula which is which to begin. His disappointing and unsatisfactory start put him in the crosshairs of public scrutiny. 

PBBM is now looking down the barrel of all these potential charges and allegations if he keeps on going out of bounce. PBBM should have known that corruption is now beyond the pale; it has gone a step too far providing our country with a crapload of trouble, and it did cross the line. PBBM failed to understand that the country is facing a grim fate as the appetites of the corruptors for greed of money appears to be insatiable.

Mr. President, you don’t have to read tea leaves for a sign of what will happen in the future so long as corruption in the government keeps stuffing all of us down our throats. I PLEAD TO YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, GET YOUR MIND IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO THAT THE LIVES OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WILL GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 

 

I WANT PBBM TO SUCCEED BUT HE IS MAKING THESE FREAKING MISTAKES

 

The exploit of PBBM to draw foreigners to invest in our country is not a brilliant move at this point while our government is pervaded with corruption. Investors do not go out to invest in a country that is corrupt. They do not feel safe in a corrupt country like the Philippines; horrific things happen and all sides commit horrific things because of these horrific conditions.

Moreover, it does not make sense for anybody to build an empire in a place with plethora of thieves. Indeed, it’s good to earn money, it’s good to be productive, when you know there’s no way they can be stolen. Plenty of deposits but lots of withdrawals result in zero-sum game. That’s what the science of progress is all about. I mean, PBBM can never attract investors in his administration which is in absolute disarray with corruption, and worst, it has not shown it was actually resisting, to say the least. Therefore, I urge PBBM to start to do his due diligence and establish carefully which way his way forward.

This begs the question; can’t you not still get it that corruption is continuing to advance with thunder and lightning that you are already losing the strategic depth with the situation? Haven’t you still realized that once a person works in government, even he was the most pristinely honest, he would now become corrupt? It is because corruption is now a mundane activity and the way of life in the government. STOP CORRUPTION FIRST BEFORE DOING OTHER IMPORTANT STUFFS. IT DOESN'T NEED A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUR WHAT CARDS YOU ARE GOING TO READ.

PBBM HAS AN IMPECCABLE ELITE PEDIGREE TO BOOT

 

In PBBM’s whole life, he heard the buzzing of critics who didn’t know what to make of him. It’s a recurrent theme for people to doubt his ability, his talent, his toughness, his grit, his strength. PBBM is still perceived as living in the shadows of his late father, former Pres. Marcos, Sr, with still a lot of learning. To shatter this stereotype as being a small fish in a big pond, from now on, PBBM must show he has ice in his veins and has to decide to leave a hallmark in history by perfectly summing up his war path with emphasis on bursts of aggression to his toughest challenge, and that is, to chop off the corruptors’ Oaken head in one swing and solve the biggest blockade to the country’s progress, which is corruption.

Corruption is like a plague that has brought our country to economic doldrums and poverty. Our country is in the condition of a human body in a state of suspended animation—the heart still beats—the principle of vitality is unextinguished—but the active functions of life are suspended. So that, if we were to cast a bit of light on solving corruption, PBBM must continually drive the stake through the heart on the corruptors. If you play with the bull, you get the horns.

Truly, these corruptors do not observed boundaries because they have already crossed them without mercy. Therefore, it’s a hurdle that PBBM has to cross where he has to be in the driver’s seat and pursue on full display a new challenge for glory with his versatility and impeccable elite pedigree to boot. This is the one that the entire Filipinos is waiting to see what happens now that he is the President. That’s knowing how to perform in a diamond level bold enough that naturally blossom into greatness; something that only elite leaders can achieve the status of dominance via excellence. He won’t let one play dampens his spirit but initiates rough old school exchanges that produced a couple of bright moments and will do whatever it takes to win.

MY EVERY POST HAS ONLY ONE MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNMENT: STOP CORRUPTION

 

FOR ME, CORRUPTION IS NOT DIFFICULT TO SOLVE. IT’S JUST THAT ALL PAST PRESIDENTS AND THE PRESENT HAD NO APPETITE TO DO SO. MY EVERY POST HAS ONLY ONE, ONLY ONE MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNMENT: STOP AND STOP AND STOP CORRUPTION IF YOU HAVE THE 'BALLS TO DO IT.' AM I BEING HEARD? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FIGHTING EVERYDAY SHOUTING TO HIGH HEAVENS THAT CORRUPTION MUST BE STOP IMMEDIATELY?

It’s an abomination to think that for 60 years of battling the rampant corruption in the government, and the problem still hung in limbo up to the present. 60 years is long enough period for various past presidents with its heart in the right place not to solve the problem of corruption, or at least, the scourge of corruption in the country would be curved. Well, what a fantasy that turned out to be. It’s hardly surprising that more public officials who corrupt are still at it than are caught. The machinery is all there, the question is are the past presidents up to the incumbent really want to solve corruption? I mean, you can spend billions and billions of pesos then catch nobody if you don’t want to catch anybody. The truth is, there is no general appetite to undertake the effort and expense of a successful solution to deliver Corruption-free Philippines. And without a will, where’s the way forward?

As long as the approach of the government in addressing corruption remains soft as it has been for decades, which is threats of imprisonment, and the law enforcement always gas out rather than going for it full range, it is almost impossible to see the decades-long agony and suffering of the nation and its citizens changing anytime soon; and the corruptors have always had their hands of victory raised at the conclusion. As it is said: If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

I can’t imagine seeing the government taking this kind of punishment from these corruptors as if conceding to the fight. The government must turn fear into fire and land a punch that would stave off this stratospheric avalanche coming at us, and not all the time seen as kind of shrinking violet, shrugging shoulders, and the eyes are down.
