Pagsuporta ni Ampatuan kay Noynoypakulo lang ng kalaban

PANINIRA lamang sakandidatura ni Liberal Party

(LP) standard bearer SenadorBenigno Noynoy Aquino, IIIang umanoy pagbibigay ngsuporta ng pangunahingsuspek sa Maguindanao mas-sacre na si Andal Ampatuan,

Jr.Sa ipinatawag na press con-

ference ni Andal, Jr., sinabi nitosa mga mamamahayag nasuportado niya raw angkandidatura ni Noynoy dahilnaniniwala ito na tanging angsenador lamang angmakapagbibigay sa kanya ngkatarungan.

Hanggang ngayon kasi ayhindi pa rin inaamin ni Andal,

Jr. na si ya at an g ka ny an ggrupo ang responsable sapagpatay sa mahigit 50 kataona kinabibilangan ng mahigitsa 30 mamamahayag noongNovember 23, 2009.

Sinabi ni Andal, Jr. na kapagsi Noynoy ang nanalo ay tiyakna mapapalaya siya sa

pagkakakulong kayatnaniniwala daw ito sakakayahan ng senador na

mabigyan siya ng katarungan.Mariin namang itinanggi ni

Noynoy ang sinabi ni Andal,Jr. at ayo n pa nga sa sen adoray hindi pa niya nakakakusapang pangunahing suspek samadugo at nakakakilabot naMaguindanao massacre.

Sinabi pa ng senador naposibleng may nag-utos kayAndal, Jr. na sabihin ang mgaganoong pahayag upangsirain lamang ang kanyangkandidatura dahil alam kasing kanyang mga katunggali namalakas ang dating niNoynoy sa mga botante.

Alam kasi ng lahat namarami ang nagagalit ngayonsa mga Ampatuan at kahitsinong kandidato angsusuportahan ng angkan ngmga ito ay posibleng magalitdin ang karamihan sa mga

bota nte .Ang ganitong mga klaseng

taktika ng mga katunggali niNoynoy ay matatawag natinglumang paraan ng politika

dahil kahit ano pa ang gawinng mga kalaban ng senador ay

hindi mababawasan ang mgasupporters ni Aquino bagkusay lalo pa ngangnadaragdagan.

Sabi pa nga ng mgasumusuporta kay Noynoy,kahit na ano pa ang gawingpaninira sa standard bearer ngLP ng mga katunggali nito sapampanguluhang karera ayhindi sila maniniwala dahilalam nila na malinis angintensyon ni Aquino kaya itotumakbong presidente.

Halos dalawang linggo nalang ay gaganapin na angeleksiyon kayat inaasahan narin ng mga sumusuporta kayNoynoy na kung anu-anongmaduduming paraan anggagawin ng mga kalaban nitongunit sa halip na masira angkredibilidad ni Aquino ay lalopang lumalakas ang dating ngmga ito sa mga botante.

gustong makilahok sa pitak naito, maari kayong mag-email sabar ang aya ni_i sko @ya hoo .co m.

MARAMI ang katulad ng mga Ampatuan sa ating pulitika.

Sila yung makapangyarihang mga pamilya na nililigawanng mga kandidato tuwing eleksyon.Dahil ang ibig sabihin ng en-

dorsement nila ay siguradongbo to sa ka nd id at on gtumatakbo.

Hindi sana nabago yun,ganun pa rin sana ngayon sakaso ng mga Ampatuan saMindanao kung hindinabulgar ang massacre ng 57 katao kasama ang ilang mgataga-media sa Maguindanao.

Bigla hot potato ang mga Ampatuan, walang gustohumawak dahil nakakapaso sa sobrang init. Bigla kiss ofdeath na madikit sa kanila ang pangalan ng kahit sino at

big la no tha nk you na lan g ang sag ot sa end ors eme nt nainiaalok nila. Ito ang isa sa mga malungkot na katotohanansa pulitika.

Hanggat napapakinabangan ka okay ka pero pag walaka nang silbi at kung wala ka nang maitutulong, mabilis pasa alas-kwatro kang iiwan at itatatwa pa. Pero huwag natinkalimutan kung bakit naging dambuhala ang mga Ampatuansa Mindanao, lumaki sila nang sobra politically at ang akalanila ay magagawa na nila kahit ano ang gusto nila magingang pumatay ng napakaraming tao in broad daylight.

Dahil ito sa mga pulitikong sinuportahan nila noon atnagbigay sa kanila ng labis na kapangyarihan na kanilanginabuso. Dahil ito sa mga nanligaw sa kanilang suporta,nanuyo para maging kaibigan nila at nakipagpalitan sa kanila

ng mga pangako.Ibinigay ng mga Ampatuan sa kanilang mga kaibigangpulitiko ang pinakamimithing boto kapalit ngkapangyarihang pumatay sa marami nating mga inosentengkababayan sa Mindanao at kung hindi pa nasakripisyo ang

buha y nila , gaya na nga ng 57 kata o na pina tay na para ngmga hayop sa Maguindanao, hindi pa natin nalaman kunggaano na lumaki ang kapangyarihan ng tulad ng sa mgaAmpatuan.

May panawagan lang sana ako sa mga Ampatuan,ngayong harap-harapan na kung tanggihan ng mga pulitikoang kanilang endorsement bakit hindi nila sabihin sa atinglahat kung sino ang mga pulitiko na lumapit sa kanila at

bin igy an nil a ng sup ort a noo n.Nasa COMELEC naman ang mga listahan ng mga nanalo

sa Maguindanao at sa Mindanao noong nakaraang mgaeleksyon, madaling makita ang mga record nito pero di bapagkakataon na para isiwalat ng mga Ampatuan ang tunayna kulay ng pulitika sa Mindanao na kinasasangkutan nila.Pwede ba natin hilingin sa mga Ampatuan na ipakilala nilasa ating mga botante ang tunay na mukha ng mga pulitikona noon ay mga kaibigan nila at ngayon ay naguunahanpara may masabi laban sa kanila para lang makakuha nanaman ng boto? Suntok man sa buwan ang hiling na itopero baka naman pwedeng tulong na lang sana ng mgaAmpatuan sa mas nakararaming mga Pilipino.

Mag-text po kayo sa akin kung may maidadagdag kayotungkol sa usaping ito. O kaya ay sumulat kayo upangmalaman ko ang inyong nasa puso at isipan, sa aking

AGNES 'CLEARED' AMPATUANS?

Postpone polls, Perlas asks ComelecINDEPENDENT presidential

candidate Nicanor Perlas hasasked the Commission on Elec-tions to postpone the May 10 elec-

tions should it fail to addressseveral matters regarding the au-tomated election system (AES).

Perlas, in his 30-page petition,said the current AES is lackingin several aspects such as an in-dependent source code review,random manual audit prepara-tions, cleansing of voters' list,infallible transmission systems,servers for parties, a verifiablepaper audit trail, ballot securityfeatures, and ballot printing ef-ficiency.

He said the poll body should"demonstrate in writing" that theComelec has fully addressed all

the "factual allegations" of hispetition and prove that there isno basis to believe that the fullyautomated election system will

fail in May.If it fails to "refute" the concernsoutlined, Perlas said the poll bodyshould authorize the installationof a manual count for the posi-tions of president and vice presi-dent at the precinct level beforesending out the digital results.

But if this is also not possible,he said the poll body should post-pone the polls "until such timethat they are able to assure thatthe elections will be honest, trans-parent, and clean" because a fail-

ure of elections is bound to cre-ate "a lot of chaos and disorder"in the country.

FORMER Justice Secretary AgnesDevanadera is allegedly behind the junkingof the murder charges against suspendedAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao(ARMM) Zaldy Ampatuan and MamasapanoMayor Datu Akmad Ampatuan.

Sources inside the Department of Justicesaid Acting Justice Secretary Alberto Agra isthe fair-haired boy of Devanadera. It wasDevanadera who reportedly recommendedAgra to replace her at the DOJ.

Tao yan ni Agnes. So even if shes no longerthe boss, she still dictates him. She still callsthe shots at the DOJ, a DOJ prosecutor whotalked on condition of anonymity said.

This paper tried to get the side ofDevanadera but she could not be reached.

Unconfirmed reports said the Ampatuansreleased P60 million lobby money for prosecu-tors to dismiss the murder charges against them.

Agra is in hot water for junking the murderraps against the Ampatuans. Various localand international media groups condemnedthe DOJ decision. Outraged journalists will holdvigils to protest the DOJ decision.

This latest development in the massacrecase surprised family members of the victimswho thought Devanadera was sympatheticwith them.

Devanadera earlier assured justice for therelatives of the murdered journalists and ci-vilians

Agra claimed he found no evidence thatZaldy and Akmad Ampatuan were at the sceneof the crime. Zaldy was governor of the Au-tonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao andAkmad mayor of Mamapasano municipal-

ity at the time of the grisly massacre of mediaworkers, lawyers and members of a rivalpolitical clan.

INTERIOR and Local Gov-ernment Secretary RonaldoPuno yesterday said punish-ment should be given to of-ficers and men of the Bureauof Jail Management and Pe-nology who would be held li-able for allowing Datu UnsayMayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. tohold a press conference insidehis detention cell at CampBagong Diwa, in Taguig lastTuesday.

Puno, in an interview withDZMM radio, said he has or-dered Undersecretary MariusCorpus, the interiordepartment's peace and secu-rity chief, to conduct investi-

gation on the incident and findout who should be held liablefor the press conference ofAmpatuan, who is being heldfor mass killing of 57 personsincluding 31 journalists.

According to Puno, he wasshocked upon seeing the pressconference of Ampatuan airedat TV Patrol World.

He seemed to be relaxed.He did not look like an in-mate. He seemed to be in con-trol of the situation. The eventwas even planned. And itwas taken at an officers roomand not inside his detentioncell, Puno pointed out.

Mula pa lang noong teenager siya na sumalpak siya sa pag-aartistaay talagang mahusay na itong si Empress. Lahat na yata ng role nanaibigay sa kanya ay nagawa niya ng maayosat talagang pinalakpakan at hinangaansiya.

Wish ni Empress na makasamaniya sa proyekto ang kanyang fa-vorite actress at idol na si Judy AnnSantos na sa ngayon naman ay

hinay-hinay sa trabaho dahil sadinadalang sanggol sasinapupunan.

Ani Empress, maramingmagagandang role na nagampanannaman niya ng maayos tulad ngbiktima ng rape, tomboy at war survi-vor. Ang mga ito ay sa episodes ngMaalaala Mo Kaya.

Pangarap kasi ni Empress na sundanang yapak ng Teleserye Queen.Nakatrabaho na raw niya ang magalingna aktres nung mag-guest siya saGeorge and Cecil nina Juday at Ryan

Quality products from Taiwans Biggest Food ConglomerateIN doing business, Taiwan-based

Asian conglomerate Uni-President

Enterprise Corporation or UPEC setsthe bar for others to follow. UPEC be-came known as a giant conglomeratein Asia, a leading manufacturer ofinstant noodles, which is one of theirbenchmark products, plus signi ficantexposure in other businesses like thecompany holdings in 7-11 conve-nience stores.

This is due to the company's "ThreeGood" and "One Fairness" philoso-phy, formulated by UPEC's founder,Mr. Wu Hsiu-Chi. "Three Good" rep-resents "good quality," "good credibil-

ity," and "good services," while "OneFairness" represents "fair price."UPEC opened Uni-President (Phil-

thicker soup stock for deeper flavor.One More Cup is available at 7-Elevenstores. The company also came up withNooda Crunch, the first and only ready-to-eat noodle snack in the country. Just

and shake to mix well. Nooda Crunchis fortified with Vitamin A.The company also launched

THE Civil Service Commission (CSC) hasclarified that career positions in the third level

comprises only those in the Career Execu-tive Service (CES) as enumerated in the 1987Administrative Code, all of whom are appointedby the President.

In Resolution No. 100623, the CSC soughtto end confusion on the scope of the thirdlevel by declaring that the third level or CESshall only cover the positions ofUndersecretary, Assistant Secretary, BureauDirector, Assistant Bureau Director, RegionalDirector, Assistant Regional Director, Chiefof Department Service and other officers ofequivalent rank as may be identified by theCareer Executive Service Board (CESB), allof whom are appointed by the President.

It further stated that executive and mana-gerial positions in the career service otherthan the aforementioned shall belong to thesecond level of government.

In support of its position, the CSC citedprecedent Supreme Court (SC) decisionsclearly stating that only presidential appoin-tees belong to the CES or third level of gov-ernment, most recent of which is the case ofNational Transmission Corporation vs.Venusto Hamoy, J r. (G.R. No. 179255) pro-mulgated on April 2, 2009. In the said case,the High Court ruled that the position of re-spondent Hamoy as Vice P resident for

EMPLOYERS are urging the govern-ment to dismantle restrictions and limita-tions on investments and businesses,particularly by reducing the cost of doingbusiness, which could generate the much-needed jobs in the country.

This recommendation was among thereforms in labor market policies listed inthe resolution which the Employers Con-federation of the Philippines (ECOP) pre-sented Wednesday to President GloriaMacapagal-Arroyo. The resolution was theoutput of the two-day 31st National Con-ference of Employers that ended Wednes-day at Manila Hotel.

The employers group noted that moreemployment opportunities have to be createdfor a number of entrants to the labor force.

Recognizing the fact that wealth cre-ation is a function of investments, and jobscan be only be generated through increased

investments and enterprises, the govern-ment must focus on instituting policy andstructural reforms aimed at creating em-ployment, it said.

To this end, the ECOP particularly citedthe need to reduce licenses, fees, chargesand permits required by various govern-ment agencies in operating a business.

The number of days to set-up a businessin the country must be also within the globalaverage of 30 days to cut costs, it said.

The employers also called for the revi-sions to the Labor Code particularly thepolicy on contracting and subcontracting,policy on night work prohibition for women

and the law and policy on wage fixing anddetermination.

ECOP asks GMA to removelimitations on investments

and business

Our Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadSpiridon Louis isnt well known around

the world, but he is in Greece. Thats becauseof what happened in 1896 when the OlympicGames were revived in Athens.

During the competition that year, the Greeksdid quite wellwinning the most medals of any nation. But the event that became a sourceof true Greek pride was the first-ever mara-

thon. Seventeen athletes competed in this raceof 40 kilometers (24.8 miles), but it was wonby Louisa common laborer. For his efforts,Louis was honored by king and country, andhe became a national hero.

The apostle Paul used running a race as apicture of the Christian life. In 1 Corinthians9:24, he challenged us not just to run but torun to win, saying, Do you not know thatthose who run in a race all run, but one re-ceives the prize? Run in such a way that youmay obtain it. Not only did Paul teach this

but he lived it out. In his final epistle, hesaid, I have fought the good fight, I havefini shed the race , I have kept the faith (2/Tim. 4:7). Having finished his race, Paul joy-

fully antic ipated rece iving the victory crownfrom the King of heaven .

Like Paul, run your earthly race to winand to please your King. Bill Crowder

As we run in this raceAs our best effort we bringWe are spurred on by the fact

That we must win for the King. Branon

The Christians race is not a sprintitsa marathon.

Isko to supporters: Vote earlyMANILA Vice Mayor IskoMoreno yesterday called on hissupporters and that of ManilaMayor Alfredo Lim to vote earlyon May 10 so their votes can becounted.

Morenos appeal came af terreceiving reports that some paidindividuals, mostly members ofa w o m e n s g r o u p i d e nt i f i e dwith the ir pol i t ica l r iva ls , areout to employ dirty tricks thatw o u l d p r e v e nt L i m - M o r e nos u p p o r t e r s f r o m c a s t i ng t he i r

votes .According to the report,Moreno said the paid cohorts of

the said politicians will go to theprecincts early and then prolongtheir voting process, since no timelimit has been set for each voter.

This way, he said, all other vot-ers who are not with the paid sabo-teurs will not be able to make it tothe deadline.

As Mayor Lim has stated timeand again, it is only during elec-tion day that the gap between therich and the poor is bridged andyet, some unscrupulous politi-cians are out to deprive the people

of their right to choose whom theywould want to lead the city forthem, Moreno stressed.

SSC drops St. La Sallefor V-League Qfinals seat

SAN Sebastian College used

its power to break through Uni-versity of St. La Salle-Bacolodsnet defense and carve out a 25-12, 25-14, 20-25, 25-17 victoryTuesday in the Shakeys V-League Season 7 at The Arena inSan Juan.

Jeng Bualee matched the tour-nament-best 27-point outputposted by Adamsons AngelaBenting in its four-set win overSt. Benilde last week with theThai import spiking her gamewith two service aces and one

block to power the Lady Stags tothe quarterfinals with their sec-

ond straight win in Group A.

They thus joined groupmateand defending champion UST inthe next round of the tournamentsponsored by Shakeys Pizza andpresented by PLDT MyDSL.

USLS, which beat FEU lastweek, dropped to 1-1.

Despite the win, SSC coachRoger Gorayev expressed his dis-appointment over her wards lack-luster performance in the third set.

I didnt like the way theyplayed in the third set, saidGorayeb, referring to the Lady

Stags listless game that saw themtrail by as many as 10 points.

SA April 24, magaganap angLa Salle-Ateneo game sa Fil-OilFlying V summer tournament.

Preview na yan ng magiginglakas nila sa darating na UAAP.

Although paborito pa rin angBlue Eagles, hindi naman dapatisnabin ang malaking develop-ment na nagawa ni DindoPumaren para sa Green Archers line-up.

Mapuno kaya ang The Arena ng mga green at blue tulad saUAAP? Covered live ng Studio 23 ang larong ito.

* * *Sa UAAP, sinasabi nilang malakas pa rin ang Ateneo at FEU.Pero hindi na rin puwedeng hindi maging threat ang UP,

Adamson, at UE.Babalik na si James Martinez sa UE line-up at mabibigyan

sila ng lakas sa kanilang backcourt sa kanyang pagbabalik.Samantala, nagpalakas ng husto ang National U Bulldogs

pero di pa namin sila nakikitang maglaro.Pero sa ginagawang massive training ngayon, malamang na

maging contender na rin sila.Biro mo, umalis na rin ang tropa ng Bulldogs pa-abroad para

sa kanilangt special training.Kasing bongga na rin sila ng La Salle , Ateneo, at UE na

lumalabas ng bansa dahil lang sa kanilang summer training.* * *Bawal na raw ang UFC coverage sa TV.Nakakasama raw sa mga bata kasi ginagaya nila.Pero sinabi ni Chairman Consoliza Laguardia ng MTRCB,

puwede naman bastat kailangan ang airtime ay past primetimena. Ibig sabihin, 10 pm up to 6 am lang.

* * *Bongga ang inihahandang opening ceremonies ng San

Sebastian College Recoletos para sa NCAA.Ilang linggo na lang at opening na naman ng NCAA at SSC

ang siyang host.Letran-SSC agad ang salpukan sa opening day, at pagkatapos

ay ang magkaribal na JRU at San Beda naman sa second game.
