Legalizing the illegal

Published by Ellen on March 18, 2010

This is what is disturbing about the Supreme Court decision allowing Gloria Arroyo to make a midnight appointment to succeed Chief Justice Reynato Puno: Arroyo can do anything illegal to stay in power beyond June 2010 and the Supreme Court will give it a mantle of legality.

This is the scenario that we are looking: There will be partial failure of election. Only in the national level. That means no president, vice president and senators would be proclaimed by June 30, 2010.

Since the term of incumbent Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile will end on June 30, there will be no Senate President, who is third in the Constitutional order of succession. (There have been calls for Enrile to do the patriotic act of resigning as senate president so that someone whose term will end in 2013 could be elected senate president but he has refused.)
Meanwhile, there would be proclamation of winners in the local posts including members of the House of Representatives.

There have been reports of Gloria Arroyo subsidizing the campaign of a huge number of congressmen to make sure that she gets elected as speaker.

The speaker of the House is fourth in the line of succession.

Ang mga pinerwisyo ni Jason Ivler

Published by Ellen on January 18, 2010

Habang sinasakay sa police car si Jason Ivler, ang matagal nang hinahanap na suspek sa pagpatay sa dalawang tao, sabi ng isang pulis na halatang galit, “Maraming pinerwisyo ang taong ito.”

Talaga naman. Malaking dalamhati ang idinulot ni Ivler sa pamilya ni Renato Victor Ebarle, Jr., anak ni Undersecretary Ebarle sa Office of the President na kanyang walang pakundangang binaril noong Nobyembre. Noong 2004, napatay niya si Undersecretary Nestor Ponce, presidential assistant, sa isang banggaan ng sasakyan. Hindi niya napanagutan ang kanyang kasalanan kay Pnce dahil nagtago siya.

Malaki rin ang perwisyo ang idinulot niya kay Jason Aguilar, na magtatrabaho sana sa Qatar ngunit napagkamalan ng mga awtoridad ng Qatar na si Ivler. Bahagi kasi pagtutulungan ng international police ang pagtutugis ng pugante.
Kawawa naman si Jason Aguilar na nagkautang-utang para lamang maka-punta sa Qatar para mag-trabaho. Pagdating nya doon noong isang buwan, kunulong siya dahil napagkamalan na siya si Ivler. Isang linggo siya sa kulungan.
Biruin mo makulong ka sa isang lugar na ngayon mo lang narating.Walang lang kamag-anak at hindi mo pa alam ang salita. Napaka-traumatic yun.

Mancao: General offered money if he pins Ping

Former Senior Supt. Cezar Mancao II Thursday testified at the Manila Regional Trial Court that he was offered financial support and relocation abroad by an official of the Arroyo administration in exchange for fabricated statements against Sen. Panfilo Lacson in connection with the Dacer-Corbito double murder case.

Mancao made the claim during the same hearing where Judge Myra Garcia Fernandez affirmed a Supreme Court decision dated Oct. 5, 2005, ordering the dropping of former Supt. Glenn Dumlao—also an ex-member of the now-defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF)—from the list of accused in the case in order to become a witness.

As has been the practice in Judge Fernandez’s court, journalists were barred from covering the hearing on her orders.

Privilege speech by Sen. Panfilo Lacson

In Greek drama, masks were useful devices that allow the actor to play several different characters.

In the Philippine political drama, nothing much differs.

Mr. President, distinguished colleagues. Today, I rise on a matter of
personal and collective privilege.

The great American writer Elbert Green Hubbard once wrote:

If you work for a man, in heaven’s name work for him…. If you must
vilify, condemn, and eternally disparage, resign your position, and
when you are OUTSIDE, DAMN TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT, but as long as you are part of the institution do not condemn it. If you do that, you are loosening the tendrils that are holding you to that institution, and at the first high wind that comes along, you will be uprooted and blown away, and will probably never know the reason why.

I hope you will understand why it has taken me this long to unburden
myself of the truth I carry.

Grabe itong nangyari sa ating mga sundalo sa Tipo-tipo, Basilan.

Sabi ng military na sa 23 na patay sa kanila, 19 ay Marines, tatlo ay Army (Scout Rangers) at ang isa ay pulis. Ang ibang patay ay sa panig ng Abu Sayaff at MILF.

Ted Failon’s multiple tragedy

Published by Ellen on April 19, 2009

I pray that nobody, especially lesser mortals like me, will go through the multiple tragedy that happened to Ted Failon, one of the country’s top broadcasters.

It was tragic enough that a suicide has happened to the Failon family. It was double tragedy that a number of them became suspects and worse, they became victims of police arrogance and cruelty.

Many who witnessed the policemen’s rough treatment of Max Arteche and Pamela Arteche-Trincheta, siblings of Trina, Ted’s wife, who passed away Thursday, as well as that of their driver and household help lament that if that can happen in a case involving a broadcast celebrity under the glaring lights of live TV, how much more to ordinary citizens.

Reklamo ng asawa ng pulis

Published by Ellen on December 29, 2008

Update: Nagpaliwanag si Police Senior Supt. Nicanor Bartolome, PNP spokesman sa reklamo ng isang sumulat na gumamit ng pangalan na Juana de la Cruz tungkol sa P7,000 na cash gift. Umaasa sana kasi si De la Cruz na mabigyan din ang mga active officers ng P3,000 na binigay sa mga retired officers.

Sabi ni Col. Bartolome, ang savings lang daw ng PNP ay kasya lang para sa mga retired na kawawa naman dahil mas matanda na sila. Kahit wala na sila sa serbisyo, pinapahalagaan naman ng PNP ang kanilang serbisyo.

Sabi ni Bartolome, 120,000 ang lahat na mga pulis at walang sapat na pera ang PNP para sa dagdag na cash gift.

Natanggap ko itong sulat mula sa isang nangangalang “Juana de la Cruz” at nagsasabing asawa raw siya ng isang pulis. Hindi ito ang kanyang totoong pangalan. Ang mahalaga ay ang isyu na kanyang tinatalakay.

Ito ang kanyang reklamo:
