Big business

Butch Bagabuyo

“We demand that big business give people a square deal.” –Theodore Roosevelt

IN his time as President of the most powerful power broker, Woodrow Wilson was quoted to have said, “The way to stop financial ‘joyiding’ is to arrest the chauffeur, not the automobile.”

I can only wonder if Mr. Wilson made a single arrest of a driver during his term of office.

But what is nauseating is that in our country, our big businessmen may have been badly influenced by August Bebel, who was quoted as having said, “The nature of business is swindling.”

Swindling of all kinds is the order of day in our country. Shame on us.

Everybody knows that the economic power of the US, is wholly dependent on the uninterrupted and all too profitable sales of its war materiel. And yet our President is wasting our hard-earned pesos on the unconscionable purchase of US-made “toys” of destruction. Does not PNoy know that no amount of war materiel can make our country safe from external enemies?

Our safety and progress, if we may, should be focused more on agribusiness and diplomacy. Not on readiness for war.

But, poor PNoy, the dummy of the “Hyatt 10” and the Liberal Party, who are both puppets of the US, is so naïve, at best. He seems to be financially “joyiding” instead of securing his own personal liberty after the elections. Unless, of course, he is more than confident that the VCM (Vote Counting Machines) originally called by Smartmatic as OMRs (Oplan Mar Roxas, I dare say) has perfected the PCOS (President Cory’s Only Son) of the 2010 and 2013 digital manipulations, I mean, elections. PNoy should stop this madness.

However, because God is good, Davao Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the next and unstoppable president of our country, has the record of stopping criminality and the culture of impunity.

Here’s my take:

• As Mayor Duterte has promised, and so shall it be done. Within three to six months, our country will be rid of drug lords and queens, smugglers and swindlers in government and in business.
• Because Duterte has a record of changing the “killing fields” of Nicaragdao (Agdao in Davao City, a term used to connote the rampant killings of Nicaragua in the past), the biggest city in the whole world, into one of the four safest cities in the world, and far bigger than progressive city-state Singapore. “Super Digong” has earned the respect, if not true love, of every Filipino except the criminals and the hypocrites, those who pretend to be more popish than the Pope.
• Like it or not, the next President of our country is the man of the hour. He has proven to one and all only last March 23 that he cares for the welfare of the people more than the number of votes that he could win. Bear in mind that before last March 23, not a single presidential wannabe in our country has ever campaigned during election period in that tiny sweet lanzones island of Camiguin. And the reason for not campaigning in that beautiful tourist island of Camiguin is not only because of the negligible number of votes but precisely because certain politicians there buy the votes of the Camiguingnons at a price higher than the highest priced votes elsewhere in our country. But because Duterte is not only interested in the votes but the welfare of the poor people in our country, he dared to campaign in that garrison-made-island by the dirty Romualdos, as opposed to the good Romualdo who is now risking everything against his own sibling. By doing so, Duterte easily won the hearts and minds not just of the Camiguingnons but the entire Filipino people. In fact, because of Duterte’s uncommon valor, the giant national radio and newspapers, owned by the greedy businessmen in Imperial Manila, were forced to expose the grossly harassed political rally by Duterte for fear of the economic consequences of blocking all the rallies of the Team Duterte-Cayetano. These greedy businessmen realize that should they continue to block coverage of the usually huge rallies of the Team Duterte-Cayetano, the Filipino people would be forced to boycott the national radio, TV and print networks, and force the nitizens–those 30 years old and younger as well as the repentant seniors–to man the social media 24/7 and even more with powerful pictures and Youtube video clips.
• The PDP-Laban, the political party from Mindanao that catapulted the late Cory Aquino to the presidency and soon to be the one and only true political party in power, is now busy preparing ourselves for a newly revitalized and fool-proofed People Power unlike the 1986 People Power.
• This time around, the PDP-Laban is fasttracking its BMS (Basic Membership Seminar) cum anti-fraud much better that the so-called IS cells. By conducting 24/7 BMS courtesy of the PDP-Laban council of Cagayan de Oro’s self-help-initiative the party is showing, by way of superb example, how to make-little-daily-self-made-yet divinely assisted miracles that could definitely make it the one and only political party in the country by end of April this year. Leading the local council are president Ka Marlo, vice president lawyer Ka Ike Naduma, treasurer Roel la Victoria, secretary-general Ka Willy Cuenca, and assisted by Onido “Ganging” Pimentel and Jude “Jobags” Bagabuyo.
• It is the same fearless spirit in the living hero-statesman in former Senate President Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel that created the PDP-Laban in 1982, a time when Imperial Manila was trembling in fear caused by the unlamented late dictator named Ferdinand E. Marcos. In fact, the PDP-Laban in the city has just established its headquarters right in the heart of downtown Cagayan de Oro (Velez and Yacapin streets) without asking even a single centavo from the more than too many willing contributors with veiled vested interests. This is but one clear earth-shaking phenomenon that the country sees even now in the tough-talking-action man Duterte as the man of the hour and the one and only leader that could change the face, the name and dignity of our country. All the others are but more of the same greedy hypocrites.
• The social media–the present day phenomenon–has taken over the information technology world courtesy of the youth–those born 30 years ago and younger and the repentant seniors who have all the time to repair with gusto the wrong we done in the past. It is high time, our country needed the true and meaningful change, from debilitating greed of self-destruction to love and sharing of whatever little one has.
• With our 24/7 BMS, the Cagayan de Oro council of the PDP-Laban believes that by the end of April this year, Alan Peter Cayetano would emerge as the leading and unstoppable vice presidential candidate. And the reason is simple. In our BMS module, we discuss at length and with passion the evils of oligarchy, cronyism and the trapos. Hence, at the end of every day, every convert knows that Bongbong Marcos, the namesake son of the ruthless dictator named Ferdinand E. Marcos; Chiz Escudero, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, the manipulator of the PDAP and the DAP as well as the “laglagan boy-king”; and poor Leni Robredo would be exposed as selfish personae no better than tools of PNoy, the shrewd “Hyatt 10” and the Liberal Party scalawags, the persons personally liable and answerable to the heinous massacre of the brave 44 SAF commandos and well as the black magicians, behind the malicious and felonious loss of the billions of pesos intended for the victims of the Yolanda who remain unaided to this day.
• Because Duterte has attained the super rockstar status, his charisma and down-to-earth lingo in unmasking the forces of evil. Mar Roxas is the glaring icon for debilitating greed and inefficiency like no other and the Liberal Party scalawags. Grace Poe-Llmanzares is the look-alike of a ruthless and unlamented late dictator for decades in our country; Grace is certainly a Filipino foundling but not a natural-born Filipino, as defined in our Constitution, who is definitely financed by the ruthless “Hyatt 10” and the alternate candidate of PNoy. Vice President Jejomar Binay has billions of pesos worth of unexplained if not, ill-gotten wealth, and is a firm believer and supporter of PNoy even to this day.

Trust me, Duterte is the unstoppable next President of our country if not, the Independent Federal Republic of Mindanao-Sulu-Basilan-Palawan-Tawi-Tawi but only if the Comelec, God forbid, allows cheating.

Duterte-Cayetano pa more!

Tsada, di ba?
