I read Paul Farol's blog entry " Paid Anti-Noynoy propaganda", a reaction to what Jose Maria Montelibano wrote in his Inquirer column and Mr. Farol has a very valid point. I don't want to agree or disagree with what he said, but let me just say that, for the record, I was the first one to criticize and praise Noynoy all at the same time in different posts in this site and also got pilloried by alleged Noynoy cult followers. I know Jose Montelibano, he's the husband of Noynoy's media bureau chief. And for me, it is highly immoral for someone to write something about the client of one's wife.
Much more criticize others for being paid hacks when you know for a fact that you, yourself are tainted with being a paid hack.
Anyway, with what is happening, I am actually re-analysing Noynoy's chances and like what I wrote in previous entries, Noynoy is a sure winner if he does the right things. What I am hearing now, and this is verified, is that his internal organization is getting messier and confused as we near the elections. Seems that Noynoy's organization is imploding and in the process, being defensive about many things.
Reason for the implosion---GREED. Yep, Noynoy's inner circle are acting like rapacious wolves salivating for this and that posts, confident that they belong to the right group and their bet is a sure winner. Their greed has definitely overtaken the Cause. It has muddled the real cause why Noynoy ran in the first place.
For example, I know for a fact how certain members of Noynoy's group barred friends of Mar Roxas, some of them, senatoriable material, from being included in the Liberal party official senatorial slate. Reason? They don't want Mar's old circle of friends there, fearing a power struggle.
I know how some of them, members of Drilon's team clashed with Abad's.
Now, these internal clashes and talks about the slowly dwindling funds are affecting Noynoy Aquino's campaign. These talks are spilling over the public sphere and causing demoralization to some.
And when these verified information reaches well-meaning people, true friends of Noynoy and they write about it, people like Montelibano and some fanatical Noynoy Yellow army members act like they're the sages of old and probably felt they are doing good by branding everybody paid hacks.
Let me just say that I now fear what will happen to the government if Noynoy wins. At this early in the game, his close-in advisers are fucking things up, showing their greed and engaging in petty internal squabbles and power struggles.
Let me put on record that I am no paid anti-Noynoy writer. Check my background. I am not even an anti-Noynoy. Most of my friends are in the Liberal Party and I agree with what they are fighting for. Yet, I cannot say , for certain, if I am truly pro-Noynoy. I am pro-Filipino People and the reason why I write is simply to scratch my writer's itch. And I care for Cory Aquino and Ninoy, parents of Noynoy, whom I revere and salute for what they did for the country. It does not follow, however, that I will blindly follow the son. What people ask of Noynoy is get your thing going by publishing your platform and let us discuss them before the people. Until now, however, no platform, no discussions.
I write to warn Noynoy to take a firm hold of the organization and exercise leadership, an enlightened one.Purge your organization of ravenous wolves and vultures. The "cretins" which Montelibano described in his article resides well within Noynoy's circles. Be a man.
i always thought this would happen...i'm not really against Noynoy but the thing is, i'm not really convinced of his leadership skills, if indeed he has it. Good thing Mar is on their side because i'm sure he can provide for the leadership that is lacking in the Noy Team..now they need to settle this fast or else, Noy will run the risk of eventually slugging it out with Villar and his machinery come the elections..
ReplyDeleteBe a man Noynoy, and Mar show them what you got...
When his mother past away, the When his mother past away, the entire country mourned, and re kindled old emotions of the past event that got the country’s hope for a new beginning. This emotional tide is what Nonoy and his political party seized to gain political power. People want Corazon Aquino’s hope to live on, and through her son they see this continuity. Unfortunately, many see this as another false hope. Opportunist individuals whom have no change of gaining any political power see his last name as their ride for their own grand plans. It’s never for people, and the county, or when was it ever?
