President Duterte is God-sent; Macoy was evil-sent
NEVER AGAIN to the Marcoses in their bid to
return to Malacanang, and reign again as despots of this country whose true
democracy was lost and ruined, due to the “scripted” Martial Law declared by
then strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr.
I was not born yesterday and I can still vividly
recall the evils of its repressive dictatorship with so many human rights
abuses committed under its military rule. No way for another Marcos - in the
person of his son Bongbong Marcos - to occupy Malacanang once again, as his
minions egg him on to run for President by May of 2022 presidential and local
elections.
The vast majority of the Filipino people who
suffered during the martial law days have expressed fears it’ll only reopen
even bigger the still unhealed wounds inflicted on them and on this country
hailed before as the most peaceful and orderly, and second to Japan only in
terms of peace, progress and prosperity during its golden years prior to the
declaration of Martial Law on September 21, 1972.
The kind of martial law crafted by Marcos can’t
be tolerated again.
But, if you ask me if President Rodrigo Roa
Duterte will declare his own, shall we go for it? Why not? Duterte’s brand of
leadership is so different from that of Marcos. He even placed under Martial
Law the entire Mindanao when the “Marawi Siege” happened and there was the
least of crimes recorded, for true discipline was shown under it by the
Mindanaoans in those days, then martial law was lifted by orders of PRRD as the
Commander-In-Chief, when the bloody
“Marawi Siege” was totally diffused and put
under gov’t control again by our brave and courageous soldiers and
policemen sent out to recapture back Marawi City from the hands of the lawless
groups that laid siege the city for six-month long period.
That’s how I gauge the two. Duterte is God-sent
while Marcos was evil-sent. The two are poles apart when speaking of their
intention to make this country great again. That’s my honest-to-goodness point
of view, period. And let your own speak for you, as well. This is the way we
speak out in our now redeemed democratic society though, some of our rowdy
lawmakers are going to the extreme, not
really in aid of legislation, but in aid of election, as next year’s polls are
fast approaching.
But, if it goes on and on, the way our Senate
Blue Ribbon chaired by this too ambitious Senator Dick Gordon is doing, right
now, then I’m tempted to say that PRRD might exercise its last resort as
allowed by the Constitution. The President, just of late, questioned the way
the Senate blue ribbon brutally deals with their resource persons invited to
their recent committee hearings that looks like there’s no end to it—till
election period is over. “Akala ko ba hindi kayo gusto ng martial law? O, bakit
parang worse pa kayo sa martial law sa trato ninyo sa mga resource speakers na
invite ninyo?”
Well, well, at the end of the day, the President
can always say, “The buck stops here with me.”
Question: Do you believe in your own guardian
angels?
Answer: In Hebrews 1: 14, it says “therefore
angels are only servants, spirits sent to care for people who will inherit
salvation.”
Thanks, guys. See you soon again. God bless us
all. (jayfeliciano2@yahoo.com)
