I’ve
asked it before and I’ll ask it again, with the strongest and most urgent
emphasis anyone can imagine:
WHAT
MAKES JUETENG UNTOUCHABLE to Pnoy’s government?
Jueteng
is still ILLEGAL. Police officials once acknowledged, several years ago, that
jueteng is a multi-billion industry.
But
in the more than two years that Pnoy has been President, there has NEVER BEEN A CAMPAIGN against
jueteng – NO ARREST OR INVESTIGATION of even one alleged jueteng lord, NO
ROUND-THE-CLOCK RAIDS on jueteng dens, no nothing.
As
if jueteng does not exist, or has been legalized.
Two
days ago and today, I came across news reports of police chiefs in far areas
like Pangasinan and the Bicol region being relieved for failing to stop
jueteng.
The
government went after those who couldn’t supposedly stop jueteng, but it’s NOT
DOING ANYTHING against the jueteng lords.
Anti-jueteng
advocate retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz once publicly stated there are reports that
DILG Undersecretary Rico Puno was allegedly receiving jueteng bribes.
But
Pnoy HIMSELF almost IMMEDIATELY cleared Puno, without even ordering a probe.
Malacanang
had better not say that there’s no drive against jueteng because there’s no
intelligence report about it.
I’m
sure the Philippine National Police (PNP) has MOUNTAINS OF REPORTS or data on
jueteng and jueteng lords, and will still have the guts to object if they will
be made to look INCOMPETENT with such an alibi, if ever.
Pnoy
never fails to mention his ‘tuwid na daan’ slogan whenever he can. He tries
louder than the loudest bomb blast in proclaiming in as many ways as possible
that he is against corruption.
But
he seems to suffer partial amnesia when it comes to jueteng, which everybody
knows BRIBES CORRUPT POLITICIANS and POLICE OFFICIALS.
Now
consider this: Some, if not all, of these corrupt politicians will be running
again in next year’s polls. If they can’t run anymore, they’ll ask their
spouses, their kids or their henchmen.
Jueteng
bribes will help them BUY MORE GUNS AND GOONS.
These
guns and goons will be used to hurt, if not kill, anybody who will endanger the
victory of the corrupt politician or their bets in next year’s elections.
That
anybody can be you, me, members of our family, our relatives and friends or
anybody you can think of. And when corrupt politicians win, it’s us ordinary
mortals who suffer in a hundred and one ways.
From
the theft of our taxes, abuse of power to zero performance in the public office
they seek, name it corrupt politicians do it.,
That’s
the REAL DANGER of the untouchable jueteng, people. Thin about it.

TRIPS FOR PLEASURE, PROPAGANDA!

Nothing, Boyet... he was even ignored and was
never invited to speak at the US Congress. He was made to wait, for a while, before
Obama even went to see him, and even then, Obama was not really talking to him.
It was a less than 30-minute visit... so he better quit lying.

Obvious ba na mukha siyang giggling teenage

Pnoy’s trip was nothing but leisure.
CATHERINE LOPEZ of Manila
Very, very true!

Wait a minute, all presidents do junkets.

Blow-out lang nila sa sarili nila iyon for
the conviction of Corona .
SAGARANG KAYABANGAN NI PNOY!
JOE ALVARADO JR. of Makati
He should stop saying that. Corona is already knocked out. He should start
working as the President. It’s the economy, stupid
BIENVENIDO VALERIO
Sobrang kayabang naman nun, I believe that
democracy and due process always come together, and that the Bill of Rights is
supreme. Thank, Sir Boyet Antonio, sa share."
