A Marine officer speaks his heart out

Shocking! A few days ago I posted in the groups I moderate the article on the members of our military in Japan who were involved in some bidding that was unauthorized. Two of the 8 involved officials have been duly sacked, and the rest demoted and salaries reduced.

Now, you say, Anna, that there was no public bidding done regarding procurement of military supplies being authorized by the criminally inclined sitting at the throne at the palace by the murky river who is now the Law but deals were given to the cousin of the Fat Guy. My God, how can they do that?! Or rather, why are Filipinos tolerating this?

Now we know that this must be also the kind of deals being cooked up regarding Philippine patrimonies in Japan! Everything in fact is being done in the Philippines, including biddings that do not even exist with announcement deliberately posted in Japanese newspapers later than after everything is stamped as a done deal, and they kind of just wait and see if the coast is clear!

Fortunately, the Reparations Treaty provides for Filipinos and Japanese nationals to protest any shady deals and transactions regarding these properties on Japanese soil even in Japanese courts, and the Philippines does not own sole decision and right to revise the said treaty and delete such provision without Japan’s consent.

Hopefully, we can rally Japanese legal experts here and the media to join us in our fight to preserve these properties in Japan as provided for by this provision of the Reparations Treaty. Thank heaven for those Japanese negotiators of this treaty who insisted on having such clause included in the treaty for they must have known of the corruption prevalent in Philippine politics even in the 50’s so that they were wise to include such provision about litigations being filed even in Japanese courts by any citizen of the Philippines and Japan against any transaction and deal detrimental to the welfare and interests of the peoples of both Japan and the Philippines especially regarding these properties in Japan that were bequeathed to the Philippines.

Just to show the difference between the greedy Bansot and Marcos, the latter never tried to sell the properties in Japan. He actually sacked a former trade attache who was trying to do that without his consent.

Congresswoman Marcos should take up this cause of preserving Philippine patrimonies in Japan as a form of amends for all those shenaniganisms attributed to her father as a matter of fact!

FYI, Aquino tried to get rid of them on dictate of the crooks around her, and FVR hoodwinked the Filipinos regarding the negotiations on the Roppongi property.

What is dismal and disgusting is that the Philippine Consulate is crammed in what should have been the garage of the building erected in the Roppongi property, and Filipinos are pushed to go through to the backdoor for consular services they need and pay with exorbitant fees!

I have never heard of nationals of other countries being treated so lowly by their own government but Filipinos, who take such dismal treatment tantamount to some insult and disdain as acceptable norm and standard so that they do not complain! Worse is when they allow paid mercenaries to persuade them not to!

I am finding this really unbelievable, Ellen. That’s why I give De Leon a five for standing for his right to refuse serving a corrupt regime as a soldier bound to protect it.

God protect this man for his convictions and principles!

I would like to add that I pray De Leon will set the example to continue to fight for his principles and convictions in a court of law that the group he is now affiliating himself with is determined to do and achieve even with the dismal state of justice in the Philippines with those cronies and friends of the Fat Guy and the Bansot dominating the Justice Department and the Supreme Court.

I don’t think he is joining the mercenaries to Iraq. He is just too proper and a gentleman to do that. Besides, he cannot fight for Philippine causes there!

You bet, Schumey. I am actually having difficulty understanding the mentality for example of those who want to risk their lives working in Iraq that is still at war for the love of money! For me, it is indeed unbelievable!!! Or should I say a debasement of the spirit and the soul!!!

My mother, who has travelled to the Philippines only once or twice since she left for the US 3 or 4 decades ago, is shocked when I tell her about the Filipinos I meet in my line of work as interpreter for the police, court and prison in Japan (all part-time and semi-volunteer). She laments the fact that there are less decent Filipinos now especially when I tell her that there are not so many people now who want to “dildil ng asin”!

I have met a lot of these people in Japan who take the risk of losing their purity, honor and dignity, and they reason out poverty and deprivation as what have induced them to grab these risky jobs that we call in Japan as the 3K (kitsui, kitanai, kiken or in English, difficult, dirty and dangerous although just lying on bed and enjoying it may not be too difficult after the first time!). And these are children below 18 who drop out of school (many of them do not even get to finish high school) and are corrupted in their youth.

I feel sorry for them for they would not even love their own names as majority of them have to travel on fake passports and identities with their ages raised up because of the restriction against hiring children below 18 in places where they serve liquor in accordance with Japan’s Child Welfare Law.

I felt like puking in fact when Sto. Tomas boasted of the 40,000 jobs waiting for Filipinos in Japan when the Midget took over the reins of government from Erap, because I knew she meant the special quota given to Cory by the Japanese government as aid to Philippine economic recovery after Marcos. My friends and I in the advocacy to stop the deployment of Japayukis (Japayuki is a derogatory word used only for Filipino bar and club hostesses cum prostitutes) were really furious that we could not help but call Sto. Tomas and her boss, “Bugaw” because the truth is these kids were being pushed to engage in prostitution on the side with all those required daytime pairing called “dohan.”

Ang panakot ay hindi na sila makakabalik sa Japan kung hindi sila papayag na makipag-date sa mga customer nila kasama na ang lahat ng mga kamunduhan! Worse is when they are lured to run away and overstay in Japan, and feel shameless to have themselves impregnated by Japanese nationals so they can stay in Japan because it has become some kind of a fad!

There was even a time when a Philippine Embassy official told me that they were getting 100 births a month of these illegitimate children that she feared the Philippines would someday be a nation of bastards!!!

It’s pathetic! Kaya please, patalsikin na iyan, ngayon na! Tangna, dinadaya pa ang mga statistics para makabola ng mga mangmang! Tarantado talaga!

It’s sure is illegal, Anna.

Anong sinasabi ng bobo na expensive kung may public bidding? May bayad ang pagbi-bid, paano sila malulugi doon! Ang sabihin mo sila-sila ang tumataga sa kausap nila na binibigyan nila ng pabor! It should be stopped lalo na alam natin ngayon kung sino ang kausap nila—iyong pinsan ni Fatso na malamang na kasabwat ang mga Pidal kung hindi sila ang mga pinuno ng anomalyang ito gaya ng papel ni Iggy sa mga kurakoy nila!

Baka ganyan ang ginagawa doon sa pagdidispatsa ng mga patrimonies sa Japan a. Kailangan itong ma-expose.

Tangnang garapalan na pati sa AFP ha!

Thanks, Karl.

Ellen, let me access your column at Malaya. At least, I know I cannot be hacked because I am on monitoring for the Ministry of Communication in some kind of an experiment with my provider, and therefore, amply protected plus the multiple softwares I have installed in my home and office computers and laptop to ward off viruses, bugs and worms being distributed by the Midget’s Internet Brigade and palakpak teams.

I’ll let you know of the result later.

I see that Ellen has finally accessed Malaya Online, which is easier to access in fact than Tribune Online that is no doubt getting doubt efforts from members of the Bansot’s Internet Brigade with professional IT skills to be taken out of the web, because in fact, Tribune and Malaya have become some sort of Oasis of untainted (non-propaganda) news for a lot many of us with Philippine connections living overseas, and even perhaps to Filipinos in the Philippines, who are being forced to accept trash paid with their blood money.

Thank God for this blog likewise! The experience of getting involved is worth the risk, although as far as I am concerned I am safe and untouchable, not at all vulnerable to harassment and intimidation that I see Filipinos in Japan are subjected to by members of their own diplomatic mission, and why I can valiantly post in my own passport name unlike a lot many sharers here who are forced to hide in some exotic pen names. I can understand though why they have to do that!

Please note that De Leon is also asking for protection of his life from Up Above. I have no doubt that God will preserve and protect him, especially when he proves his usefulness to some Heavenly Plan and Purpose.

De Leon, hopefully, will serve his purpose to this Divine Purpose and Plan. What his resignation for example has done is help bring back the trust and confidence of majority of Filipinos to the remaining few like him as real defenders of the nation even against oppressors and abusers in and outside of their ranks no matter what this kind of action may entail.

What we see in him is a man of honor and dignity, valiant and rearing to fight for what is right compared to a lot many of his fellow marines now who are being compelled, detered and threatened to do things contrary to what they have taken an oath to fulfill and do for their country and people as when this government refuses to pay pensions and other fringe benefits they are entitled to when they defy the Bansot’s order for them not to answer summons by the Senate for instance to answer some pertinent questions especially regarding anomalies involving her and her minions.

Over here, this kind of sensational news will even stop all programs on Japanese TV and will merit full-time scrutiny by all with media people getting sleepless nights digging for more facts and evidences of corruption to share with the public and even with the police, which, not being beholden to any politician or bureaucrat, will have its own investigation, not against the media and other sources of information, but to help establish the truth no matter who gets hurt in the process.

I’m glad that Ellen is there to bring stories like this to the fore, and her newspaper, Malaya, is a willing partner to take the risk in giving importance to this piece of news that other newspapers on the payroll of the criminally inclined would label as crap and try to bury and hide from the public.

Hopefully, this is an eye opener, something that will finally move the whole nation to action against these oppressors, who should not be allowed to make “collateral damages” of Filipinos to protect and secure the Bansot.

Kaya pala tinatakot siya ngayon ng mga appointee ni Bantot sa AFP ng court-marital kuno!

O, Mrs. Aquino, Dinky, Enteng, et al, handa ninyo na ang mga tao ninyong pupunta ulit doon sa kampo para bantayan at tulungan si De Leon at iyong mga matatapang ng sundalong katulad niya!
