Omb. Merceditas Gutierrez Gone Down

YOU’RE OUT MERCY

The time of reckoning has come for Mrs. Mercy Gutierrez of the Office of the Ombudsman. She will gone down in Philippine history as the first top government official to be legally removed through impeachment process. Former Pres. Joseph "Erap" Estrada was impeached but removed by a grand conspiracy led by Gloria Arroyo and the then Supreme Court chief justice Hilario Davide.

In the recently nationwide simulcast Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing, Mrs. Mercy Guttierez openly disapproved the findings of her predecessor, former Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo’s, too weak for lack of evidences of plunder against former AFP Comptroller Gen. Carlos Garcia.

She castigated former Special Prosecutor Dennis Villaignacio for his tardiness when the latter tries to defend Marcelo. She claimed that the Office of the Ombudsman is the sole representative of the people in cases under jurisdiction of Sandiganbayan. That she has the exclusive right and controls what she deems what is best, better and good for the people and country.

Mrs. Gutierrez took the committee’s precious time and turned the hearing into her self-styled privilege speech. She repeatedly brags her position as Ombudsman being a constitutionally an independent body is free from any governmental restrictions.

ONLY WAY OUT

Mercy Gutierrez will be burned out just like what she and her classmate of earlier period Jose Miguel T. Arroyo did both to former Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo and former Special Prosecutor Dennis Villaignacio.

As an Ombudsman, Gutierrez is "pathologically arrogant" and does not have the public trust and basic honesty expected of a public official.

For her hopelessly incompetent seven day work-week since she became Ombudsman, she will suffer from depression and will be physically and mentally exhausted. She will also have severe ulcers and hypertension.

It’s hard to see the pain behind the mask. Bearing the burden of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s secrets is very complicated job. Like what happened to former AFP chief Angelo T. Reyes, there will come a time she wishes she was never born. The bishops and nuns will pray that she opt instead file her irrevocable resignation effective immediately.

NO DEATH PENALTY FOR THE AMPATUANS F MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE

PEOPLE CALLS FOR THE DEATH OF THE AMPATUANS
Wednesday, December 20, 2009, 2:04 AM

I support the death call for the Amputuans involved in the massacre. I want Andal Sr., Andal Jr., and Zaldy executed immediately. Since our present constitution does not allow capital punishment anymore, We must call the Philippine judiciary, specially the laudable and Honorable Jocelyn Solis-Reyes of the Quezon City RTC Branch 221 and the government prosecutors must have enough courage and ability to mete out the most severe penalties the Constitution will Amputuan monstrous criminals.

The government can on its own initiative, organized again a “special tribunal” like what it did on Pres. Erap Estrada and also the Iraqi government on Saddam Hussein’s trial, to try the “in-appealable criminal cases” of Andal Sr., Andal Jr., Zaldy Amputians and their AFP-Cafgus and PNP-CVOs armed private criminal army for “crimes against humanity”.

Upon final conviction by the “special tribunal”, the government must execute the Ampatuans immediately through “death by musketry”.

The Amputuan political clan of Maguindanao is a “devil’s curse” for our Muslim brethren in the autonomous region of Muslim Mindanao, they are the tormentor of lasting peace and a plague to humanity.

Mike Arroyo, Mafia Boss of ZTE Scam

The ZTE broadband deal?

The Zhong Xing Telecommunications Equipment Limited (ZTE) National Broadband Network Deal is a highly controversial, $329 million contract signed by the Philippine and Chinese governments, witnessed personally by President Arroyo, last April 2007 in China.

The NBN project was one of the "money-making project" of the Arroyo regime. The proposal is to be carried out by the Dept of Transportations and Communications (DoTC)under the care of Sec. Leandro Mendoza (ret. PNP chief), a plan which started way back in 2005, immediately after Mrs. Arroyo won the controversial May, 2004 presidential election, aiming to establish a internet broadband connection to local government units and government agencies nationwide.

The political disaster of Mrs. Arroyo and company started when Jose "Joey" De Venecia III (JDV3), son of five (5) term House Speaker Jose De Venecia Jr., which is a known ally of the administration, divulged his knowledge of the huge overpricing and kickbacks involved in the GRP and ZTE Broadband deal in an affidavit, and later, in his personal testimony at a Senate inquiry.

Joey De Venecia (JDV3), the owner of US based Amsterdam Holdings Inc. (AHI), lost the bid for the NBN project to China's ZTE. (JDV3) blew the whistle over the hugely overpriced ZTE Broadband Project entered into by Mrs. Arroyo with ZTE.

He blamed golfing buddies former Comelec chair Benjamin Abalos, the powerful person who brokered the $320 million deal between GRP and ZTE and FG Mike Arroyo's for his lost bid. He accused the two for splitting the $130 million (P6 billion) for their kickbacks or tongpats with Former NEDA Director Romulo Ner bribed by Abalos of P200 billion to endorse the contract and to keep in silence.

And that FG Mike Arroyo ordered his gang to terrorized (JDV3) last October 16, 2007 symposium held at the University of the Philippines (UP) and later tagged them as responsible for plotting an assassination plot against him and his father speaker Jose De Venecia.

FG Mike Arroyo's gang member were former Army chief Jaime Delos Santos, Transportation Sec. Leandro Mendoza and Transportation assistant secretary Reynaldo Berroya all members of the PMA Class 1969 and Bureau of Corrections Director Ricardo Dapat. AFP chief.

Gen. Hermogenes Esperon denies generals plotting to kill speaker De Venecia.

Rep. JDV was further pushed to his political limits when he and his sone JDV3 was subjected to an extrajudicial executions threat by fanatic supporters of Mrs. Arroyo. Speaker JDV reported to Malacañang about his murder complaints against three generals whom he said had plotted to assassinate him and his namesake son Joey but was coldly ignored.

He accused the presidential palace of inaction on alleged assassination threats against him and his son (JDV3), who blew the whistle on bribe offers in connection with a government contract to put up a multimillion-dollar national broadband network.

JDV recounted hou retired Gen. Jaime delos Santos had gone to his house and had told him and his son “to keep quiet” because “they can kill you and I know they have killed other people.”

The only logical political pro-position to silence (JDV3) from using the government position of his father--Mrs. Arroyo and ally railroaded the instant ouster of speaker JDV. He lost his position last February 5, 2008 at 1:00 am in a vote of 174 against 35, with 16 abstentions, nominated Nograles for the position of speaker.

Before the voting began De Venecia demanded, being the outgoing speaker, for a several-minute speech where he accused Malacañang of orchestrating the moves to remove him as speaker. De Venecia said First Gentleman Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo and Malacañang’s “minions” orchestrated the filing of a corruption case against him before the House ethics committee.

Rep. Jose De Venecia of Pangasinan:

"So many times I had stood to defend President Arroyo and it pains me grievously to hurt the President and to hurt the First Family because I have invested so much more than any of you in this chamber to help the President become Vice President, become President….”

Knowing already the Palace politics, speaker JDV nominated Davao City Rep. Prospero "Nogie Boy" Nograles for the election of speakership. Without a further much ado's and as expected, Cebu Rep. Antonio Cuenco grabbed the phone and moved to close the nomination for Speaker, prompting Majority Leader Arthur Defensor to declare as "unanimous” the election of Nograles as speaker of the 240-member House. An unceremonious clapping ensued the declaration.

After Nograles' controversial election and minutes after he was sworn in as new speaker of the House of Representative proudly states:

Prospero Nograles of Davao City:

“It’s God’s will. It’s probably my destiny”.

In early March 2008 -- barely a month after speaker JDV's removal from the speakership on February 5, 2008 for his opposition to the scandalous ZTE–NBN deal exposed by his son JDV3, Mrs. Arroyo Kampi party and her allies moved swiftly and captured the leaderless Lakas-CMD -- led by the following notorious Lakas-CMD party riders:

1. Prospero "Nogie Boy" Nograles of 1st Davao City, Davao Region
2. Antonio Cuenco, 2nd Dist. of Cebu City, Cebu, Province.
3. Juan Miguel "Mikey" M. Arroyo of 4th Dist. of Pampanga Province
4. Diosdado "Dato" M. Arroyo of 1st Dist. of Camarines Sur Province
5. Ignacio Tuazon Arroyo, 5th Dist. of Negros Occidental Province.
6. Danilo Suares of 3rd Dist of Quezon Province
7. Edcel Lagman of 1st Dist. of Albay Province
8. Luis Villafuerte of 2nd Dist. of Camarines Sur Province
9. Arthur Defensor of 3rd Dist. of Iloilo Province
10. Monico Puentevella, of Lone Dist. of Bacolod City, Negros Occidental
11. Simeon Datumanong of 2nd Dist. of Maguindanao
12. Rep. Vincent P. Crisologo of 1st District, Quezon City, Metro Manila
13. Rep. Mary Ann L. Susano of 2nd District, Quezon City, Metro Manila

Palace concern of 2010 election security

.
Zarsuela 2010 election

The grand zarsuela play in Philippine politics of deception and corruption never comes to an end.

National Security Adviser Norberto "Bert" Gonzales, showing his political prowess and clout over Mrs. Arroyo, continues his defiant action, ignoring Palace advice by his statement on the upcoming 2010 elections as a "national security concern".

After all the much reported Palace call for Gonzales to refrain, cease and desist from inciting any further the House of Representatives on proposition's schemes for a transition government to be elected simultaneous in 2010 to pave the way for Charter change

A truly political deception player, Gonzales said the issues regarding the 2010 presidential elections constitute national security concerns, because, according to him, "For a long time now, our country has been drifting to nowhere because of our dysfunctional politics. It was about time the nation, as one people who believe they deserve better, fully addressed the issue."

Presidential Political Adviser Gabriel Claudio on the other hand played along with Gonzales by stopping him from making any public proposals to elect a transition government in 2010, which, Claudio said, were being attributed as official statements from Malacanang.

The incumbent administration's political proposal involved convincing the winner of the 2010 presidential elections to push for political reforms (?) through Charter change Cha-cha) during his first three years in office, then voluntarily{?} step down after Cha-cha had been effected.

Gonzales even suggested that, "I can see that beyond the traditional politicians, we have leaders who are presenting themselves as reform candidate or are being pushed to be so in 2010. Perhaps, Brother Mike Velarde can be this transition president. Even Mr. Joseph Estrada, if he really wants to seek again the presidency, can consider becoming this transition president.”

Claudio played that the proposal to cut short the term of the winning president in 2010 would not be agreeable to the winner because "nobody is foolish enough to accept that."

Gonzales said that though his proposal for a transition government in 2010 may seem a foolish idea to most people, the supreme sacrifice of voluntarily stepping down from the presidency is the most effective way of effecting political reforms through Cha-cha.

"Are we saying that our country is bereft of leaders who are stupid enough to offer their selves to make this sacrifice?" Gonzales said.

What a political play we have here.
