“Hello? Anybody home?”

“Hello? Anybody home?” are the first words we utter when we approach a house and aren’t sure if anyone is inside it….

Now, Imagine uttering those same words to the ears of all the people who have in no small way contributed to the continuance of FPGMA’s (ie., false-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) governance and you might feel that indeed you have been hollering to a house (and a mind) without anybody inside it….

Just recently, FPGMA’s allies in our evil House of Representatives declared its inquiry on the “Hello, Garci” tapes closed, thus leaving every other avenue in our search of truth - closed and barred with no other recourse… (ukinam duwende lakas ng kulam mo)….
Now we have EO464 which bars officials of the Executive Branch from appearing in legislative hearings without the President’s permission. This one, by its intent is a fuck-up gag order for people with knowledge on the wheeling-hustling-dealings that has put our treasury on the redline.
But whoever believes that this administration is going to go out of its way to be transparent in its dealings are either so stupid or clearly imbecilic. The actions of all the current officials in the controversies that have been playing with Congress shows everyone the nature of the monster that currently occupies Malacanang. The evasive, outlandish and idiotic replies of administration officials and witnesses to lawmakers’ questions in the legislative’s zarzuela has made a mockery of our legislative processes and showed us the monkeys that occupies our congress and are unfortunately called legislators.

But I guess, we won’t be hearing the end of the stories of graft and corruption. As sure as the sun rises and sets we would always hear and smell the mountain-like garbage that this administration has been hiding from prying eyes. One things for sure, this administration does not care one bit…

Read the following and tell me about it….

1. Budget Secretary Romulo Neri has admitted that P27 billion of the P35 billion of the Marcos loot recovered from Switzerland has already been spent. Huh? “already been spent”…. repeat that again - “already been spent”…… Holy shit…..just where the heck did the money go? There are reports that the P728 million squandered in the fertilizer scam came from this fund. To shed light on it - we have Former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Jocjoc” Bolante’s doing her disappearing act and practically failing to attend altogether any Senate hearing on the fertilizer scam probably because of EO464.

2. Then we have PCGG Chair Camilo Sabio, who’s adamant refusal to answer any questions about the reported negotiations and compromise deal with businessman Eduardo Cojuangco Jr. regarding San Miguel Corp. shares bought with coconut levy funds merits an award from the Phil. Bar Asso.for coming up with that parry. Chair Sabio qouted a provision in the law that created PCGG which says, “No member or staff of the commission [PCGG] shall be required to testify or produce evidence in any judicial, legislative, or administrative proceeding concerning matters within its official cognizance.” wow…. touche’ (ukinam isa ka pa)

3. Of course - we still have the “Hello, Garci” inquiry. Though the evil cohorts of the administration has declared it done and sealed…. it would never be finished. Not by a long shot…
And I don’t think I have to talk about it some more here…

4. And how can I leave the 2 Gonzales of the administration….NSA Sec Norberto Gonzales during the Senate hearing on the Venable contract in September 2005 has been quite effective in hiding the truth….Gonzales said he had signed the contract on his own, but dodged questions about the extent of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s involvement in the agreement as well as the funding for the contract.

5. While justice-sec Gonzales has always bombarded us with his inane behavior and outrageous antics trying to cover up the stupidity of this administration….

6. Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye - oh well….what can I say….the much maligned press-sec has after all done a great public service by divulging the Garci files….he has stupidly time after time tried to defend this administration to the delight of people… who hears him and says “kakatawa ano? Me naniniwala pa ba sa taong ito?”

Hmmmm…..

With the Senate effectively having their asses immobilized by Executive Order 464 and a House happily fattened by pork, can you recommend anyone else who will effectively check the executive branch?

I still remember FPGMA’s inaugural address after People Power II. She stressed the following points - a.) in order “to ensure that our gains are not dissipated through corruption, we must improve” the government’s moral standards. B.) “As we do so, we create a fertile ground for good governance based on a sound moral foundation, a philosophy of transparency, and an ethic of effective implementation.”

GO LIAR!!! GO!!!

Lots of crap this FPGMA keeps putting out….always trying to wag the dog…. for in the past five years of her presidency and in the acts of many of her officials and allies none of the two points she emphasized has been done or has even seen the light of day…. makes me wonder a lot….

“Hello? Anybody home?”
