Mga Partylists na Asal Amo

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa o maiinis ako sa inaasal ng 15 grupong partylists sa Mababang Kupulungan ng Kongreso ng Filipinas. Ayon sa mga ulat, pinangunahan ng grupong An Waray ang iba pang mga partylist sa isang di-umano'y "protesta" laban sa partidong Bayan Muna.

Ayon sa An Waray, inaakusahan umano sila ng Bayan Muna (BM) na hindi kabilang sa mga grupong marjinalisado. Itinutulak din di-umano ng BM ang diskuwalipikasyon ng ibang partylists.

Kaya ang ginawa ng An Waray at ng 14 na iba pang partylists: Isinara nila ang kanilang tanggapan, itinaboy ang kanilang mga constituents na humihingi ng tulong, at idinuldol sa Bayan Muna ang mga abang mamamayang nais makakuha ng suporta.

Kakutya-kutya ang ganitong asal. Ipinapakita lamang ng An Waray at ng iba pang grupong partylist na kabatak nito ang kanilang tunay na kulay -- sila ay ASAL AMO. Ang pakiramdam siguro ng ganitong mga grupo ay panginoon sila, na karapatan nilang basta itigil ang pagbibigay serbisyo sa mamamayan.

Baka nakakalimutan ng An Waray at ng iba pang grupong partylist na ang kanilang puwesto sa Kongreso ay utang nila sa taumbayan. Iniluklok sila ng mamamayan sa poder upang maglingkod ng walang patid at walang kondisyon.

At bakit ngayo'y isinasara nila ang kanilang pintuan sa kanilang mga constituents? Dahil lang may gusot sila sa Bayan Muna ay may karapatan na silang talikuran ang kanilang mga pinaglilingkuran.

Ang ganitong gawi at pag-iisip ay mistulang Amo o Bosing, kung sa salitang kalye pa. Pakiramdam ng An Waray at ibang partylist na sila ay mga Bosing, na ang mandato nila ay hindi galing sa tao. Tulad din ito ng pag-uugali ng isang Panginoong Maylupa. Kapag sinumpong at nag-alburoto ang Amo, ay tatalikuran na lang ng walang pakundangan ang mga tauhan. Sisigawan pa sila na "Doon kayo sa iba pumunta at humingi ng tulong! Mga SinVerguenza!"

Iyan. Ganyang-ganyan ang inaasal ngayon ng An Waray partylist sa pamamagitan ng kinatawan nito na si Florencio Bam (bum) Noel. Ganyang-ganyan ang kaisipan ng iba pang grupong partylist na nagsipagsara ng kanilang opisina para lamang kastiguhin ang Bayan Muna.

Ang tanong kay congressman Noel, sa An Waray at sa 14 na partido ay ganito: Kung tunay kayong kinatawan ng mahihirap na mamamayan, bakit ninyo nasisikmurang talikuran sila at pagkaitan ng serbisyo?

Kung tunay na ang inyong puso at damdamin ay para sa mamamayan, bakit ninyo parurusahan at pagdudusahin ang taumbayan para lamang maihayag ang inyong protesta. Ang mamamayan ba ang inyong kalaban?

Ang inaaasal ng An Waray at iba pang partylist na nag-aalburoto ay Asal ng mga Panginoon. Ito ay Asal Amo. Asal Bosing:

Hindi nga kayo karapat-dapat na maging kinatawan ng mahihirap.

Anatomy of Vote Buying in the Philippines

Vote buying has always been a regular feature of Philippine elections. It has been successfully used by moneyed politicians, often belonging to political dynasties, local gentry classes, and traditional clans, to entice the electorate to vote or not to vote for specific candidates. In the recently concluded mid-term Philippine elections, quite a number of independent poll watchdogs observed that vote buying has become rampant compared to previous electoral exercises. Some analysts pointed out that the automation of Philippine elections forced many candidates, especially at the local levels, to buy votes to ensure victory. That is because with automation, the avenues for electoral cheating became limited and more expensive. Thus, moneyed politicians were compelled to re-focus their so-called “black operations” through vote buying.

Remembering Jesusa Teodoro Martin (My beloved Lola Nena...)

Today is the 106th birthday of my favorite Lola, Lola Nena.  I am posting here a reprint from our Martin Clan Book about Lola Nena. Lola Nena died when I was in 4th grade, that was way back in 1984.  But I always have vivid memories of her (Lola Nena always cooked sweet delights for us)  Here's the reprint I'm talking about.  I think this was written by my cousin Mayo Uno and his Tatay, my favorite Tito Boy. (Excerpts from the Martin-Teodoro Aklat Angkan...): NENA Jesusa was born on January 19, 1903 in Tondo, Manila . Like Dominador, she was the youngest of two children by Santiago Naguit Teodoro ("Iliong") of Bulacan and Elena dela Cruz ("Enang") of Tondo. The eldest was Sergio ("Ikong"). Jesusa was only six when her mother passed away so her aunt Petra ("Pitang"), sister of her father, brought up the two children up. Santiago 's second wife, Leonora Pantanilla ("Nena"), produced six more children:...

Action Packed Short Story

I was browsing the web looking for materials for my articles when I stumbled upon an old blog of mine.  I created it sometime in 2007 and it only has 3 posts.  It is one of my blogs that I neglected and it is just there sitting helpless in the blogosphere.  Well, to make a long story short, I found one of my short stories there.  That was my action packed 'ala' Robin Padilla narrative. I copied it (because I lost my hard copy and electronic file) and I will paste it here (I hope the Google Gods will not penalize me for duplicate content; hey, guys, that story was mine too.) So here it is, my Robin Padilla story. Take note that this story is just a figment of my imagination.  Any similarities to actual events, names, etc, are unintended. (Sounds like a movie disclaimer, haha).  I hope you will like this: __________________ I LOOKED AT THE MORNING AND SAW DEATH It was a dawn to remember. That fateful day started just another ordinary early morni...
