Butch Bagabuyo  “Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.” – Oscar Wilde (1854-19000)  Anglo-Irish author BOTH Congress and the President, head of the Executive department of our government, are no more than our servants. And PNoy and his Liberal partymates emphasize the truth whenever they announce in public and preen on giant National TVs: “Ikaw ang boss ko.” But the saddest truth is that despite the overwhelming rejection by the teeming millions of Mindanaoans in Mindanao, all the masa elsewhere in our country, and recently, the retired generals of the Armed Forces, our servants continue salivating to pass the BBL before the first deadline for the filing of the certificates of candidacy on the noblest of motives of lasting peace and prosperity kuno in Mindanao. (Actually, the final deadline for the filing of the certificates of candidacy will be on December 2015 but for the trapos and the filthy rich – suffrage manipulators in collaboration with the judiciary- the final filing of the certificates of candidacy is the number of days needed for the Comelec to change the name of the candidate before the voting. Gets mo?) However, behind the truth of the unusual interest by our servants in wanting to pass the BBL is debilitating greed which is embedded in every trapo: the millions of dollars in exchange for our sovereignty and dignity as a human being. Because there is always a first time in everything in this world, Mindanaoans of today are confident that on May 9, 2016 or a few days thereafter, that the dawning of the New Order would be headed by a Mindanaoan, for the very first time in decades. Believe you me, Duterte’s ascendancy to the presidency is unstoppable because undoubtedly, Mindanao’s impossible dream of dreams has become the idea that has come of age. Further, our dream of dreams is now embedded in every Mindanaoan all over the country. Hence, the digital dagdag-bawas of 2010 and 2013, the PCOS (President Cory’s Only Son), the millions of pesos stashed from our government coffers, including but not limited to the millions of dollars as the purchase price for selling our sovereignty and human dignity will definitely backfire on them. It would, in fact, add to the overwhelming victory of Super Digong’s landslide victory as well as for his entire team. No different from if not, a perfected People Power of 1986. To prove that the idea of having a Mindanaoan as President of our country is now a phenomenon comparable to  the “AlDub pa more’s AlDub nation” mania, all the announced “presidentiables” are losing business financiers on a daily basis even as financial donors are multiplying at the doorsteps of Super Digong.

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” -Martin Luther King (1929-1968) American civil rights leader All our servants in government know only too well that Filipinos, especially Mindanaoans and the rest of the common tao, are not only against the BBL but are actually working for its rejection. Because greed is worse than cancer, the trapos are still of the belief that they can still buy their respective offices using the poor man’s hard earned money stashed from our government coffers. Our legislators and especially our President are one in the thought that they are our masters and that what they want, they get. Today, the culture of impunity has afflicted the majority of our legislators from the Congress down to the last barangay councilor. The greatest majority of both of our elected and appointed public officials have been blinded by the color of dirty money. The way they think is that there’s no more tomorrow for the poor, the abused, and the oppressed. Because of greed, most of our public officials seem to forget that we have a just and loving God. Because dirty money has clouded their better sense of values, they have been led to believe that dirty money is the only source of power here on earth. Their follies have distorted their sense of justice, fairness and equality. Only a revolutionary government can save our country! Bear in mind that this kind of skewed thinking is the same folly that drowned Dongkoy Emano in the 2013 elections despite his millions. Because Mayor Oca Moreno, the former protégé of Dongkoy Emano (others say that Oca has perfected the schemes that his former master has taught him so well), ran our city worse than what he did in the province for nine consecutive years––I could be wrong––but chances are, he would place very poor third on May 9, 2016. And I wonder if he could even put up a legitimate ticket. To repeat, if you’re like me, try watching the noon time phenomenon now known and sweeping our country as the “AlDub” nation. Chances are the teleserye which is a daily guessing game could end up just like the Super Digong’s mastery of confusing the enemy. In the end, I’m certain, the Pambansang “Bae” – Alden Richards and “Yaya Dub” Maine Mendoza - would find each other. And hopefully, Super Digong would find us worth fighting for. Tsada, di ba?
