PNOY - Without Fear or Favor

President BS Aquino said the criticisms hurled against him is a lot of hogwash (walang katuturang patutsada) against his handling of the Gloria Arroyo caper. He said that his administration is only engaged in serving the ends of justice against those who stole money from government and that they deserved to be punished. Well and good if the ends of justice that he talks about is treating everyone fairly and equitably. But from his speech, which he delivered at the NBI’s 76th anniversary, he showed that his only concern is to persecute the officilas of the previous government with former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the number one culprit. He did not mention that justice must also be served against his kaibigan, kaklase at kabarilan (KKK) who are involved in several offenses during the incumbent BS Aquino administration.

Take for instance those involved in the bungling of the hostage incident. Because of the death of several tourists from Hong Kong and the lone hostage taker, in order to get to the bottom of the fiasco, BS Aquino created a task force headed by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to inquire who among the government officials were responsible in allowing such to happen which resulted in the death of several tourists. The task force came up with the recommendation to file charges against the perpetrators and several other officials who were identified as very close to him, either as his kabarilan, kabarkada or kapartido. The report was turned over to the office of the President for immediate action, however, nothing has been heard of since. People are asking, was justice served in the death of the Hong Kong hostages? Of course not, because no one was haled to court. In fact one general who was principally identified as responsible, was even promoted. And even the eager-beaver Secretary of Justice did not even do anything about it when it was her duty to bring the accused to court and prosecute them.

In another instance, a kabarilan of President BS, Virginia Torres, who heads the LTO was caught tresspassing and taking over a private office owned by Stradcom. Charges were filed against her and the Department of Justice (DoJ) investigator found probable cause to charge Torres for criminal and administrative offenses, but it seemed her kabarilan BS Aquino interceded and prevented the prosecution of the case. Why? Because Torres is a friend and his KKKs are sacred cows in his administration. So was justice served in this case? Of course not. Torres is back on her saddle and she’s riding high.

What about the loss of about 3,000 container vans at the Port of Manila and MICP. The loss of the said containers caused the non-collection of taxes in the tune of hundreds of millions of pesos. BS removed Commissioner Lito Alvarez from office, showing that he had committed offenses against the government together with the other Custom officials.

But have you heard of cases filed against Alvarez and the other officials for this smuggling? Of course not. Why? Alvarez is a friend and contributor to the election kitty according to my source. He is a K member or kaibigan.

What about the loss of several hundred millions of pesos in Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) due to cheating perpetrated by a gambling syndicate headed by a Singaporean named Ben Lui.

During the investigation conducted by the House committee on games and amusement, it was revealed and subsequently admitted by Pagcor officials that they already knew about the cheatring but they did not stop it.

They even allowed Ben Lui at Hyatt Casino despite a standing ban disallowing him to play at the Hyatt Casino, some conniving officials lifted the ban which allowed Ben Lui to cheat and rob the Casino of almost P50 million.

It was very clear that several offenses were committed by Pagcor officials who were clearly found in connivance with Ben Lui but nothing has been done. In fact Pagcor and DoJ officials even helped him get away instead of detaining him and issuing a watch list order, unlike GMA and Mike Arroyo.

So was justice served with triple speed against against Ben Lui and the conniving Pagcor officials headed purportedly by a kaklase of his excellency? Definitely not.

There you are. This is the kind of justice we have today in this pitiful country of ours, BS Aquino style.

That is why GMA has to undergo the ordeal because she is not a member of the KKK. Although she is also a K, as she is a kalaban and being an enemy of the BS Aquino administration she has to taste a different kind of justice.

A justice system which means that no matter what the law or the legal order coming from the highest court of the land says, and such order or decision is not to the liking of BS, he is ready to defy such orders because he believes that he is at the side of moral right and judgment, and the truth and more than anything, the Filipino people are with him. What a megalomaniac.

Imagine, the President of the land disobeying the decision of the Supreme Court. Where is the Rule of Law now? What happens to the separation of powers of the three co-equal branches of government and the principles of check and balance which is the centerpiece of a democratic and republican government enshrined in our Constitution.

Is he giving a bad example to our people in that whenever a court decision is not in their favor, they will not obey? If this happens, there will be great chaos and disaster to this country of ours.
