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.

TO: PBBM; IF YOU GOT ANYTHING UP YOUR SLEEVE, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME

   

Solving the problem of Corruption is a paradigm shifting  to prevent the disintegration of our society. The Corruptors are stealing money moving up and down, and around like a curtain blowing in the wind; producing destruction in every facet of our deeply disarray and crucially out of cohesion government that absolutely in need stability. This is how deep the corruption runs in the government for PBBM to control and finally be awaken to end the human suffering at its source, and free our people from pain and agony.

All these problems of our nation are caused by corruption and PBBM’s response was not a commensurate one because it was not with enough authority to change anything about corruption. It was just a spit in the sea compared to the damage received. PBBM may not have realized that solving corruption has the power to end all the suffering because it deals with all the fundamental insecurity that drives all of human psychosis. What you’ve got to do is be strong and confident; make the people believe that you believe in yourself. Let them feel your heart; the people want your words to have more meaning than just a column of wind-whipped smoke.

The turmoil and trauma of this problem of corruption in our government has only amplified the now dire need of our leaders for a deeper, lasting solution to all chaos and suffering in human life. PBBM should not play with these vultures but should pull the trump card right away. Otherwise, the now too powerful corruptors are closing victory clinching by hook or by crook like glue against the government, and PBBM may not have realized that his over confidence could become his demise.

Are you willing to forgive yourself if you will have to live with the knowledge that you could have done something to solve corruption and you did not do anything? I CAN LEAVE THAT TO YOUR CONSCIENCE.       

PBBM MUST NEVER PUT THE PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION ON THE BACK BURNER

 

Rampant Corruption is the biggest issue that is needed to be solved immediately more than anything else because that gets at a lot of the underlying causes. Corruption was the principal cause of poverty; destroyed our economy; emptied the National Treasury; the toleration of Drugs and criminality, corrupted all infrastructure projects; destroyed our environment by granting favors to Oligarchs; prematurely injecting Filipinos with Dengvaxia vaccine; entering into bogus contracts for Barangay Centers; looting the Yolanda funds; stealing the road users tax; exempting the Oligarchs from payment of right taxes; buying medicines indiscriminately only to be burned later; and the list will continue indefinitely.

In fact, corruption is ever present in all kinds of transaction in the doorstep of every government department. That makes you wonder how the active functions of the government turned into dysfunction. Practically, everything that proliferated and all that had their root causes on corruption. PBBM has to get out of his slump (A heavy or helpless collapse) and must come rushing like a cavalry charge. Everyone is counting on you to perform and expecting an avalanche from you to fix the problem of corruption. Don’t worry, God is working to put in you the desire, the power, and the ability to do what pleases Him.
