Zamboanga as the Philippines

I have nothing but pity in my heart for the Chief Witness for the State. She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance. But, my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man’s life at stake, which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt.

Election fever heats up in the Zamboanga with former Governor Antonio Cerilles representing UNA in a do-or-die campaign against the Liberal Party.

Club Elite

When my government makes policies that create a richer, smaller elite, I must now be suspicious of the candidates it pushes, the legislation it creates and the manner by which it executes the laws.

A government whose obvious bias is for the rich cannot be trusted to keep the interests of the majority of its people in mind nor can it be relied on to protect the weakest members of society.

The Free-est

  

Some members of the mainstream media have no idea of what their obligations are.

Under international law, even the opinions of columnists in newspapers can constitute evidence of a state practice.

Thus, those opinion writers who are so quick to defend what is rapidly becoming an indefensible administration policy on Sabah have overstepped their bounds by calling the Kirams act of returning to Sabah as an “invasion.”

The Right to a Name

IN rites of exorcism, the priest (the exorcist) orders and demands that the demon give up its name and speak it. Once the name is given, the exorcist gains power of him and can control him and order him to leave the human host.

Repercussions

The Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility (RA 6713) states:

Section 5. Duties of Public Officials and Employees. – In the performance of their duties, all public officials and employees are under obligation to:

(a) Act promptly on letters and requests. – All public officials and employees shall, within fifteen (15) working days from receipt thereof, respond to letters, telegrams or other means of communications sent by the public. The reply must contain the action taken on the request.

Senatorial aspirant Jamby Madrigal’s lawyer did not choke on his words when he insisted that it was the candidate’s volunteers who are responsible for the social media “contest” that promised to give away iPads as prizes. In fact he seemed only slightly abashed.

When promising education

WHEN politicians and their wannabes promise in these elections that they will prioritize education, what exactly do they mean? Because if they’re promising more of what our current public school system is getting, we’d like to politely inform them where they can put those promises.

Mayor Co’s Camp Reacts to the Accusations

Mayor Co’s camp reacts to the accusations blithely thrown by parties interested in the outcome of the political race in Zamboanga del Sur.

STATEMENT:

The person or persons making baseless accusations that Mayor Samuel Co is allegedly planning to offer bribes to prosecutors, are doing so in order to cast aspersions on what they fear will be an imminent acquittal. In doing so, they directly assail the integrity of the prosecutors of the Department of Justice and indirectly, that of Sec. Leila Delima.

With election season onto to us in full force, social media has shown us only one disturbing thing. Few – if any – of the candidates advertise their platforms or programs for their tenure. Instead, the air is littered with song and dance routines, wilted motherhood statements, vague promises and ego — lots and lots of ego.

And people have been responding with the jaded askance of the couldn’t-care-less.

Trixie Cruz Angeles: Agusan Tribes Hit Mining Mogul for Violations

THE Municipal Tribal Council of Tubay, Agusan del Norte through their counsel Rose Beatrix Cruz-Angeles filed a complaint with the DENR against SR Metals, Inc., a large- scale mining firm owned by Caloocan Vice Mayor Edgar Erice, for violation of the Mining Act of 1995 and other environmental laws.

In a complaint addressed to DENR Secretary Ramon Paje, the tribal council sought the immediate issuance of an order suspending mining and quarrying operations in the firm’s mining site in La Fraternidad village, Tubay, Agusan del Norte because of the “imminent danger it poses and continues to pose to residents.”

They complained of the health hazards to residents and for the firm’s closure of the Tubay National Secondary Coastal Road for the firm’s own use. The council complained that SR Metals Inc. illegally appropriated the public road and has not allowed anyone to use it to the extent of setting up check-points and denying access to anyone, including local executives from Tubay town.
