14 year old gang raped; carnappings rise in QC; yoga instructor shot dead

Philippine360.com reported: 

A 14-year old student is now suffering at an undisclosed hospital as we speak. Police reports say the student was gang raped by three suspects, mostly minors. One of the suspects got caught. He said that the girl was pimped by one guy. The victim denied it.The crime happened in a pushcart right under the Metro Rail TRansit (MRT) station on Taft Avenue. The victim said she was dragged to the pushcart by the three suspects and raped. Barangay tanods discovered the crime after they noticed that the pushcart was wrapped with a blanket on top.One of the suspects is now in jail while the victim is now under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

This is just one gruesome crime that happened in the metropolis. There are several others, including that dastardly killing of a yoga instructor in Quezon City and numerous car thefts and holdups happening all around town.

Criminal elements are on the rampage. What is the DILG/PNP doing?

Are they so busy collecting jueteng money that they already forgot their duties? Sources told me the yearly take now from jueteng has increased to 15 billion pesos. Wow. And who benefits from this? 

Jueteng money is being laundered, according to a very confidential report by the State department. Who benefits? In due time, I will expose those behind this.

Let me go back---what is government doing about this? There is a feeling right now of hopelessness. Graft and corruption continues unabated. Gangs have took over the New Bilibid prisons. Drug lords  continue their operations, again with impunity and criminals roam the streets like they own them.

One of the basis for saying that a society is truly safe is when criminal incidence is down. Poverty incidence is on the rise, and expect criminality to increase as well. People are desperate. And victims are underprotected and the citizenry's safety lies naked.

Presidential attention has been pricked. President Aquino appointed his Executive secretary Paquito Ochoa as anti-crime czar, an overt admission that the crime situation has already deteriorated and it probably needs close presidential attention.

What then is the use of having an UNdersecretary for Police headed by presidential buddy, Rico Puno? What is the use of having a PNP chief? These gentlemen are useless. They should be fired.

Of course, expect the police to say that they are ill-equipped and undermanned and they need more money. What?

Before, we used to sleep soundly at night, confident that our protectors are really doing their jobs out of respect for themselves and of their sworn duty to protect the welfare of the People.

Now, the very protectors of the People are now protectors of criminal syndicates, and lowlifes.  IN every street, there is yet one cop who protects those petty thieves, murderers and drug pushers.

Metro Manila has become one big ghetto. Is there a breakdown of morality that's feeding this criminal frenzy? Morality has nothing to do with this.

This is survival, plain and simple. The people is just expressing their exasperation especially on the dire economic situation they are in. Many people are resorting to crime and proto-crime acts because they are truly desperate. That 500 pesos dole out money from the DSWD is not enough to tide the people over. 

Why appoint Ochoa as anti-crime czar? He's useless.

During his time as Quezon City administrator, Ochoa was a sitting duck. Is it not that Quezon City is the crime capital of the Philippines? Is it not that Quezon City is still the carnapping capital of the world?

With Ochoa as our anti-crime czar, please pray. It will not be long before the entire country becomes the number one crime-prone country in the world.

State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III

It was not as shocking as what I expected, yet the first State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III made me cry. Those tears I shed were not tears of sadness, but of anger. Those were not tears of self-pity, but of silent rage.

Silent rage because until now, those responsible for the systematic rape of the Motherland continues on their extravagant lifestyle. They continue to live their lives without any charges against them. They feed their families with their loot, they pay the tuition fees of their children from the very monies we earn every single day with our blood and sweat, and they were able to buy properties left and right from the very monies we so gave the government when it should have benefitted our families.

President Noynoy Aquino's State of the Nation address just showed a fraction of Philippine reality. It just showed how officials of the former dispensation abused their power and authority and their wanton disregard to the law and the morality of those laws.

With all these so-called expose, the question and the challenge for President Noynoy Aquino is simply how will he correct these injustices and these mistakes?

He said that these officials will be made accountable through the Truth Commission. Will this Truth Commission be just a body to exonerate these people from their past sins? Will this be a PR stunt meant to cleanse the tarnished reputation of these former government officials?

Yet, come to think of it, these things were acts of high-profile thievery.

How about the centuries-old thievery done by big time landlords? How about those who abused and committed acts of injustice to our farmers?

How about those who illegally occupied our communal waters and made them their own? How about those who pillaged our forests and carved our mountains for ore?

How about those who continually oppress us with their high oil prices? What will Aquino do to these big time oil cartels?

How about real estate companies who collude with unscrupulous officials of the Land Registration Authority (LRA) and illegally occupy lands not their own?

Aquino trained his gun right smack at former government officials. He forgot about their accomplices in the private sector, who also benefitted also from the largesse that the former dispensation gave to its loyal subjects.

Meralco has committed grave sins against the Filipino People for their exorbitant rate charges. Maynilad and Manila Water continually oppress us with their commodified water. How about those who control our food stocks and influence the market by hiding their stocks?

There are still many unresolved problems out there that President Noynoy Aquino forgot to say, purposely or unpurposely, but, this remains a challenge to both his administration and to us, the Filipino People.

Let us sharpen our bolos, sharpen them to razor edge. If this administration fails to charge these people and allow them to enjoy their loot, then, we, the Filipino People, should do something about it.

I call upon the New Patriots of the New Generation---slay these demons that oppressed the Motherland and put their heads on stakes, so that the world would know that we, as a people, respect ourselves and our future successors and we do not allow such brutes to oppress us and steal our monies.

One by one, these people will surely fall by the edge of our bolos.

Let the Sparrows fly again and do their duties to the Motherland. For, never again will we rage in silence.
