Katinuan ng Bayan--Isuko sa Dilaw?

Maliban sa pagnakaw ng pwesto ng pagka-Pangulo kay Joseph "Erap" Estrada, ang mga pwersang nagpipilit iluklok ang DILAWANG BULAAN at HUWAD  ay tumatawag na ating ISUKO ang KATINUAN ng ating isip--ang katinuang nagsasabi kung kailan tayo inuuto, ginagago, niloloko, o tinatapakan.



Ang ating bait na lamang ang mayroon tayo. Ang bayan ay kanilang nang hawak--ang ating mga likas na yaman at mga pambansang ari-arian, ang dilaw na media, ang militar, ang kapulisan, ang Comelec, ang Korte Suprema, ang mga lokal na pinunol, ang buong Ehekutibo, ang Kongreso at mukhang pati ang Senado.

Ano pa ang mayroon tayo kundi ang katinuan ng isip na nagsasabi kung ano ang TUNAY na tama at mali. Sa loob ng mahigit na dalawang dekada, itong katinuang ito ang pilit na dinudurog ng mga mabuktot at lapastangang Dilaw.

O aking mga kababayan, mula sa lahi na nagtatatag ng dakilang Kataastaasang Kagalanggalang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, mula sa lahi na lumaban ng buong kagitingan noong Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano, tayo ba ay dapat magpadala ngayon sa panghihina ng loob at isip? Ang talipandas na "Daang Matuwid" ba ay atin na lamang lulunukin?


Paaanod na lamang ba tayo sa mapaminsalang dagat ng kadilawan? Masisikmura ba nating patuloy na magpailalim sa nananaig na pwersa ng kasamaan?  Ang KATINUAN ba ng bayan ay ating ISUSUKO na lamang?

Sa ngalan ng ating mga tunay na bayani na nagbuwis ng kanilang buhay para makamtan ang isang bayang sadyang malaya at matuwid, namanikluhod ako sa pagsusumamo: Gumising ka, o aking Inang Bayan!

To Pres. Erap Estrada: A Pleading NOT to Concede

Pres. Joseph "ERAP" Estrada, I beg you to please NOT concede to the Yellow Cheat.

You said this is the "final, final performance" of your life. Continue then for the worthy, principled cause of searching for the May 10, 2010 ELECTORAL TRUTH.

Hindi po kayo nag-isa at kasama ninyo kami. Nandiyan din po ang ma-prinsipyong sina Sen. Jamby Madrigal, G. Nicanor Perlas, at G. JC de los Reyes. These three fine lady and gentlemen presidentiables, who have endured the malicious ridicule of the yellow media and civil (daw) society, have acknowledged their defeat in the elections but chose not to concede in the face of apparent massive fraud.

Nick, Jamby and JC, while tailenders in the Comelec tallies, are most worthy of the Filipinos' accolade because despite the fact that they have nothing to gain but possibly everything material to lose, they elect to boldly uphold the patriotic duty to ensure that the sanctity of the Filipinos' ballot is preserved. Bro. Eddie Villanueva and his running-mate, Mr. Perfecto Yasay, seem also trekking the difficult path of searching for the truth in the recent democratic exercise to chose our leaders. These beprincipled modern-day heroes and heroine are your unwitting patriotic allies in uncovering the truth of the automated fraud in the recent elections, Pres. Estrada.


As the second front-runner in the Comelec count, you logically seem to have been the target of the apparent automated electoral fraud. Thus, you should not concede because to do so is tantamount to condoning electoral fraud, trampling upon the expressed rights of the people, and giving away the Republic to the hands of crooks, liars, and high-level criminals.

With all due respect, I humbly ask of you not to repeat your past mistake in EDSA 2 when you sacrificed your position and the vote of the sovereign people to avoid confrontation with the seditious mob in January 2001. The result of that well-meaning mistake has been nine years of a reign of impunity by Gloria and her cabal of thieves, cheaters, and liars. An evil Illegitimate's reign that not only smashed the Filipinos' moral fiber but, as well, led to unparalleled hunger and killings, and death from extrajudicial executions, warlord-perpetrated massacres or negligence by sheer misappropriation of disaster funds.

By opting not to confront the EDSA 2 conspirators and mob, President Estrada, you ultimately did not save Filipino lives but lost many, and much more. If you opt to abandon the fight for the presidency now, you could be delivering motherland to a most undeserving, if not dangerous, administration.

The TRUTH, upon which are hinged the moral and democratic sanity of the Philippines, is worth fighting for, perhaps even dying for. Kayo po ang nasa posisyon upang maibalik ang dangal na nanggagaling sa pagkakakilanlan ng mundo sa kakayanan ng ating lahi na galangin ang tunay na boses ng mga mamamayan.

Please lead the nation in upholding our democratic ideals. Do not concede to a fraud. With the help of the true God that does not condone cheating, neither power grab, and does not discriminate between the "great unwashed" and the perfumed, washed masses we will succeed, Mr. President.
