HINDI MANDIRIGMA KONTRA KRIMEN SI TSIS

HUWAG maniniwala na palaban si Tsis pagdating sa krimen. Sa totoo, kinakandili niya ang paglaganap ng krimen at siya ang tumatayong pangunahing kakampi ng mga kriminal. Patunay: ang anim na buwan pagkabalam ng pagbuo ng Senado bilang impeachment court na lilitis at maghuhusga kay Misfit Sara.

Deklarasyon ng isang “crime holiday” ang desisyon ni Tsis na pulungin sa ika-30 ng Hulyo ang Senado bilang husgado na lilitis kay Misfit Sara. Halatang-halata ang layunin ni Tsis na ibalam ang paglilitis kay Misfit Sara nang lagyan niya ng lahat ng dahilan ang anumang pagtatangka na pilitin ang Senado na gawin ang kanilang tungkulin batay sa isinasaad ng Konstitusyon.

Pangunahin sa ginawa ni Tsis na antalahin ang paglilitis ni Misfit Sara ang kanyang palpak na interpretasyon ng salitang “forthwith,” kung saan hinihingi a agad buuin ang Senado bilang hukuman na lilitis kay Misfit Sara. Nagdeklara siyang “adjourned” ang sesyon ng Senado kahit may dalawang araw pang natitira para sa regular ng sesyon.

“So now he claims the Senate is in recess, his own doing, and cannot move. And now that a big group is out to get 1 million signatures, he is saying clamor won’t do. So why is Chiz protecting somebody who has been accused of pocketing billions of pesos and threatening to have the President and the First Lady killed?” ayn sa isang tagamasid sa takbo ng pulitika ng bansa.

“Is it because he is salivating at a Sara-Chiz tandem in 2028 with unlimited Chinese money to finance their campaign?” aniya. Dahil hindi prayoridad ni Tsis ang paggupo sa crime prevention at law enforcement, “all criminals must celebrate because the Pogo gangs, those who built the collapsed bridge in Isabela, the corrupt in government, killers of ordinary people should enjoy the same treatment as Sara is getting from Chiz”, aniya.

Kampi sa China si Tsis at hindi niya ipinagkakaila ito. Sa maikling salita, crime enabler si Tsis, at hindi siya crime fighter, aniya.

HUWAG maniniwala sa mga lumalabas na resulta ng survey sa mass media, kasama ang social media. Bahagi ng kampanya ng ilang tiwaling kandidato ang baluktutin ang katotohanan at marami sa kanila ay fake news, o pekeng balita. Isang halimbawa ang resulta ng pekeng survey na malaki ang lamang ni Along Malapitan kay Sonny Trillanes sa labanan ng pagka-alkalde sa Caloocan City.

Peke ang survey at baluktot ang resulta kung mayroon man totoong survey na naganap. Hindi biro ang laki ng gastos upang magkaroon ng totoong survey sa isang constituency. Hindi malakas si Malapitan, ang alkalde na hindi nilalapitan ng kanyang political constituency sa siyudad. May kakayahan at kapasidad ang Samahang Magdalo upang manalo sa siyudad. Hindi sila tanga sa pulitika at iyan ang maling akala ng mga nagpapangap na diyos sa siyudad.

PAMINSAN-MINSAN, kailangan supalpalin ang nagpapanggap na magaling pero matapobre na si Cynthia Villar (hindi ko maatim na tawagin siyang senadora dahil alam kong bulok siya). Hindi senador kundi isang bagitong mambabatas na kabilang sa Camara de Representante ang tahasang bumara sa kanya. Basahin:

Senate had two more session days to act on impeachment, but it chose to close early– Khonghun

HOUSE Assistant Majority Leader Jay Khonghun of Zambales has pointed out that the Senate had two more session days to act on the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, but it chose to adjourn early instead of addressing the matter.

Khonghun was responding to Sen. Cynthia Villar’s statement that the impeachment complaint was transmitted on Feb. 5, which she claimed was the last day of session. He clarified that based on Concurrent Resolution No. 22, the last session day before recess was Feb. 7.

“Pareho po ang legislative calendar ng Senado at Kamara – hanggang February 7 ang aming session. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na tapos na ang trabaho ng Kongreso noon. Ang malungkot lang, maaga silang nag-adjourn noong February 5 kaya hindi nila ito naaksyunan,” Khonghun clarified. Khonghun explained that the House of Representatives acted swiftly and in accordance with legislative rules to ensure the immediate transmittal of the Articles of Impeachment.

“Maaga at maayos nating naipadala ang Articles of Impeachment, dumating sa Senado ang House Secretary General dala ang dokumento noong February 5 ng hapon. May pagkakataon po talagang talakayin,” Khonghun added. But Khonghun clarified that even if the Senate was not in session, an impeachment complaint is a very urgent constitutional issue that should have been taken up and resolved immediately.

He made it clear that the purpose of raising this issue is not to blame anyone but to set the record straight, noting that the House followed the correct process. “Hindi tayo naghahanap ng sisihan, pero dapat malinaw ang nangyari. Sinunod ng House ang proseso, at itinakdang legislative calendar. Ang tanong: bakit hindi agad kumilos ang Senado?” Khonghun asked.

He added that the House had done its part, and it is now up to the Senate to fulfill its constitutional duty as the impeachment court. “Ginampanan ng House ang tungkulin nito nang maayos. Nirerespeto natin ang Senado bilang impeachment court, pero nasa kanila na ang desisyon kung paano ito isusulong,” Khonghun said.

Khonghun also raised concerns over the delays caused by Senate President Francis Chiz Escudero’s proposed impeachment schedule, which sets the trial in July – months after the transmittal of the articles. “The issuance of Special Order No. 2025-015 is a welcome move because it recognizes the Senate’s duty to hold an impeachment trial. Pero ang tanong, bakit kailangang patagalin? Hindi ba’t ang Saligang Batas mismo ang nagsasabing ‘forthwith’ dapat itong simulan?” he pointed out.

He warned that delaying the trial opens the door for political maneuvering and erodes public trust in the impeachment process. “Impeachment is about accountability. Delays only allow political interference. The Senate has a duty to act,” he stressed.

Khonghun urged the Senate to act swiftly and decisively, emphasizing that the Filipino people deserve a fair and transparent impeachment trial without excuses or delays. “The House has done its job. Now, it’s time for the Senate to prove that it respects the Constitution and values the Filipino people’s right to accountability. Huwag nating gawing pulitika ang isang napakahalagang proseso,”Khonghun said.
