Butch Bagabuyo “A hungry people listen not to reason, nor cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayer.”-Seneca ALBERT Einstein, in his Cosmic Religion, stated that “An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.” And I dare say that obsession to the presidency by an incompetent haciendero is undoubtedly fatal to both the hungry and barely alive farmers, and those assigned to keep peace and order. This is what happened in Kidapawan about two weeks ago. Remember? Before going to the jugular vein, permit me to state the glaring failures of PNoy:
  • Undoubtedly, President Aquino is one of the haciendero-owners of the infamous massacre of 12 picketing farmworkers and two children at the Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac on Nov. 16, 2004 when PNoy was still a non-performing asset of Congress.
  • On Aug. 23, 2010, barely two months in the administration of PNoy, Roxas, Marimar, according to many, and the Liberal Party scalawags, eight Hong Kong residents were killed in what is now known as the Manila Hostage crisis. It was one of the more prominent reasons for the souring, instead of sweetening relations with our giant neighbor, China, definitely the favorite of the immediate past administration under the then president and now detained congresswoman Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
  • In November 2013, the world’s most vicious Super Typhoon Yolanda made landfalls on Tacloban City and nearby islands resulting in the death of thousands--between six thousand (according to government count) to 10 thousand (according to the immediately sucked police official at that time). Mind you, despite the timely and massive show of support to the Filipinos by the world at large, millions of dollars intended for the victims remain unaccounted for by the government.
  • On Jan. 25, 2015, 44 brave SAF commandos were ruthlessly butchered by the conjoined twins known to many as the MILF-BIFF, the nagging reason for the almost instant death of PNoy’s fantasy of getting a Pulitzer Peace Prize.
  • Only days ago, we saw the brutal massacre of at least 18 soldiers and serious injuries of over a hundred of our Armed Forces in Tipo-Tipo, Basilan by the infamous Abu Sayyaf, commonly suspected as the covert creation of the CIA.
Are these monumental blunders by PNoy his so-called achievements of which he wants the next president to emulate? Wa siya kyapi? As Filipinos wildly celebrated the victory of the country’s topnotch ambassador of goodwill, Manny Pacquiao (a Mindanaoan from Sarangani), in his so-called farewell boxing fight, both the SWS and the False Asia, the well-funded dummy social weather survey-takers kuno came up with the truth: Davao Mayor Rodrigo “Super Digong” Duterte in solo lead and beyond the so-called margin of error in the presidential derby. By doing so, the dummies were of the wrong belief that Pacquiao’s victory would overshadow the truth of Duterte’s solo lead in the presidential derby. But the dummies were wrong again! Consequently, a good many Duterte loyalists and supporters were exceedingly elated by the truth that Duterte is now in solo lead replacing the clearly Malacanang choice, a Filipino foundling but not a natural-born Filipino who sleeps with an American husband and family. Wala sila kyapi pa more? From here on until Election Day, Mindanaoans and the rest of the poor Filipinos will definitely hear without letup concertedly vicious yet baseless attacks against the Duterte-Cayetano tandem. But we are ready, willing and able! Henceforth, we are fortifying ourselves even more and trust in our God. After all, the good will always prevail over evil. Hereunder are the indubitable:
  • According to the deeply wounded and dying villain, VP Binay, in the end it is going to be a fight between him and Roxas, Marimar, to many. We can only agree with the poor loser and that the fight for the tailender––iliwit--would be, without fail, between Binay, the accused plunderer, and, Roxas, Marimar, if you ask those who know.
  • VP Binay called our man “a Berdugo ng bayan” and “Super Digong” Duterte retorted: “Si Binay Berdugo sa kwarta ng bayan.” Duterte further asked: “Which would you prefer, berdugo sa mga kriminal or kawatan sa salapi ng bayan?”
The truth of the matter is that for over 20 years as mayor of Davao, Duterte remains untainted against graft and corruption--not a single case of stealing even a single centavo. VP Binay claimed that his mother died because they could not afford to buy medicine (pa pogi). But when confronted with the question where he got his billions of pesos, Binay quickly said, that his wealth is mostly inheritance from his mother. Like a fish in the water, Binay was caught with his own words. Poor Binay.
  • Roxas, the consistent tailender among the four presidential wannabes, accused our man of being a blabbermouth and that there is no way criminality can be wiped out in three to six months. The truth is drugs and criminality can be wiped out between three to six days, not months. But this can be done only with a Duterte-Cayetano tandem in Malacanang. Further, neither Roxas, Marimar to many, VP Binay, the perceived and accused as a plunderer, and Grace Poe Llamanzares, the foundling Filipino sleeping with an American husband and family, never assured the public that they are willing to offer their own lives to stop criminality. These three “presidentiables” only want a fool’s paradise and continue with the nauseating “business as usual,” the phrase that has brought down our people and country to being called “the sick man of Asia.”
Trust me, the dawning of the real change that we’ve all been waiting for is now a certainty. Undoubtedly, Duterte is the next President of our country if not, the Independent Federal Republic of Mindanao-Sulu-Basilan-Palawan-Tawi-Tawi--only if the Comelec, God forbid, allows cheating. Duterte-Cayetano pa more! Tsada, di ba?
