“It is in my principle that the will of the majority should always prevail.” –Jefferson PNOY himself confirmed what most suspected when he arrogantly accused the majority, of whom he swore to represent, as without conscience for opposing his vested interest in the BBL or “Bahin Bahin Lang.” By declaring that the so-called “decommissioning” of 75 high-powered guns of the alleged “largest group of armed rebels” and 145 MILF “combatants” without firearms, returning to the fold of law and awarding each one of them cash and others for showing their sincerity in attaining “lasting peace” and the end to killings (read: body bags), he confirmed his own utter lack of sincerity to us and open betrayal to the poor people of Mindanao. Everybody knows, except our elected public servants usurping our sovereignty and crowning themselves as our masters, that the greatest majority of the Pinoys, from north to south and everywhere else are against the BBL. But because we have a fatally flawed system of governance, we are left to ourselves and to our God, who is always good and shall never leave us alone. Hence forth, amending the Constitution should never be left to the will of our representatives. We can do it. No doubt about it. Thanks to the callousness of our elected public servants, now, the poor people of Mindanao are slowly but surely working to unite to have one common presidential candidate in the person of wellespected Davao Mayor Rodrigo “Super Digong” Duterte. Sooner than soon, social media will prove to one and all the skeptics, especially the crocs in our public offices, that all the so-called political parties in the country are without funds or influence. Come October this year, the poor people of Mindanao, on their own and without any help from the crocs, the filthy rich and Imperial Manila, will make a show of force unequalled in Philippines history. There’s always a first time. Just you watch and see. •• “Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.” – Aristotle, Politics People Power of 1986 made our country the flavor of the month in the world at a time when all the politicians, nay, Imperial Manila and the filthy rich, were trembling in fear at the awesome power of the then conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand E. Marnos and Imelda Romualdez. No one planned it but, God, in His infinite wisdom, chose a man of the cloth to use the obscure “Veritas” to mount a revolution that made an obscure housewife our President. If you will recall, the call made by Cardinal Sin was heard not by the deaf Imperial Manila and the filthy rich but by the poor people of the street bravely led mostly by women of the cloth, and sparked by then three young, articulate and talented lawyer-leaders whose pockets were most of the time empty but whose love for our dear country was beyond compare. Thank God, they are still around and kicking. Now, as then, most if not, all elected public servants are shamelessly bullying their masters, the sovereign, who are poor, by spreading infectious, if not deadly,  lies  that the BBL is for lasting peace. It never was, it never will. But anyway, Mindanaoans know by heart and soul that the BBL is worse than the constitutionally tested Armm. My consistent stand is that abolishing the Armm without amending the 1987 Constitution is not only unconstitutional. It is an act of rebellion against the people of Mindanao. As such, the majority of the people of Mindanao––the Christians and the Lumads––have their God-given and unalienable right to defend themselves. If need be, I am willing to be the trifle in advancing the will of the majority. For the benefit of those who tirelessly follow our conviction, please be informed that our iPhone malfunctioned yesterday until today due to seeming endless and continuing text messages supporting our suggestion but including all elected public servants supportive of the BBL to sign a covenant that they are going to give a million pesos each out of their personal funds for every family whose member may be brutally massacred by the MILF-BIFF conjoined twins the moment the fatally flawed BBL becomes a law. Thanks to them, yours truly has become even more aggressive in wanting to be the trifle in making Mindanao a truly independent, peaceful and most progressive country with “Super Digong” Duterte as our President, either for the country or the Independent Federal Republic of Mindanao-Sulu-Palawan-Tawi-Tawi. Kami na pud. Kamo lang diay pirmi? Tsada di ba? •• “In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can to do me.” –Psalms LVI. 11 Thank you Lord for everything. And Lord God, kindly implant in our leaders honesty, humility and transparency in their solemn task as our servants-leaders because those who have less in life are the sovereign and very source of their borrowed power and wealth. Finally, Lord, enlighten our leaders to see the light that greed is a flawed way of life. For truly, there is more profit in giving than in taking. For it is in giving that we receive. Truly, love begets love. Amen! (Call or text 09188030197, e-mail to bagabuyos@yahoo.com, and check out the blog iluvmindanao.net)
