The Senate Joke Called Jocelyn ‘Joc-Joc’ Bolante... the Man with GIRLIE Name.

What are the chances that Jocelyn ‘Joc-Joc’ Bolante will get convicted compared to Jocelyn’s success if he decides to fertilize and promote the proliferation of men with girlie names?Its about time says Lu Tong Mancau that the senate recommends the filing of criminal plunder, technical malversation, money laundering and perjury charges against Jocelyn ‘Joc-Joc’ Bolante and nine others in the fertilizer scam at the Ombudsman. Things look serious I should say but how come it seems like the senate is joking at our expense?

After a year long of grandstanding errr investigation that is all they can come up with and unable to see the involvement of Lady Le Cirque este Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is perplexing. Well, that comes as no surprise because how can we expect a group of dishonorable este honorable politicians preoccupied with their 3 minute of fame come up with thorough result when they are not exactly competent in the field of sleuthing and investigation. Besides we put or rather tongelect este comelec or is it voters stupidity or perhaps our pathetic patronage and personality based electoral contest with the outcome of ending up with them and yet instead of brilliant legislation they seem to relish and even scramble to get their hands on hearings to get them into the limelight and the crime gets lost in the process.

Why can’t they just leave competent investigative agencies like the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) do their job since the scope of the scam is national and thus they should have waited for the agency to come up with their findings? Once the senate investigation commence then the NBI loses its jurisdiction and the leads literally getting cold as in the murder of Marlene Esperat whose murderers may have been convicted but still at large with no clue or unwilling to gig deeper on who is or are the masterminds behind the killing.

The NBI has a good tract record, there is no doubt about that thus some numb nuts in position tend to use them as their private investigative arm. A waste of talents, skills, and resources I should say when they can solve crimes committed by people in high places. Unfortunately they are busy looking for the mole not the one on her face but the one that leaked Gloria Arroyo’s leaking boob, or investigating a blogger Ellaganda that hurt DSWD Cabral’s feelings or acting as protector of massacre suspect Datu Unsay Mayor Andal Ampatuan, Jr.

Are we supposed to be glad and start dancing in the street now that Jocelyn ‘Joc’Joc’ Bolante is finally facing criminal plunder charges at the Ombudsman? Well, hold your horses the Ombudsman do not exactly have a good batting average when it comes to conviction. They have more dismissed cases than conviction and if you ask Lu Tong Mancau what are the chances of Joc-Joc getting convicted compared to Jocelyn being successful in fertilizing and promoting the proliferation of men with girlie names, he would say the latter……. But then again assuming Ms. este Mr. Bolante gets convicted by some stroke of miracle, will the inmates tending the sports club ala Club Med facilities built by convicted pedophile former congressman Romeo Jalojos treat or mistake him for a hospitality girl? .

Romulo Neri's Suspension mere public relations and damage control.

Neri previously covered up as to the direct instructions Gloria gave him insofar as the deal is concerned, subject of the very juicy effusions he shared with his consultant Rodolfo Lozada. But in a sudden turnaround, what was generally expected to be the damning testimony against the president suddenly became a pleas for executive privilege. When the Senate forced the issue, Neri went to the Supreme Court and scored his first major victory.

On May 26, 2008, a Supreme Court decision nullified the Senate's citation of contempt against Neri, ruling that conversations between Neri and President Arroyo are considered classified information. That may have bolstered Neri's expectations of impunity.

But his impunity can only secondary to Gloria's impunity. This is what the Ombudsman is saying with the temporary clearance it gave the First Kotong.

In short, Neri is now in the can. People say he must have been paid a great sum for keeping mum on his M'am Gloria, but now that he has been suspended for six months from his exalted position in the Social Security System, the shame that he did not have by not corroborating Lozada's accusations, could start to seep in now.

Actually, it may not been money, but extreme harrassment not just to himself nut to his entire family. From 2002 to 2004, I worked with a cabinet secretary who was forced to take his whole family to self-exile in the United States because they ate death threats for breakfast, lunch and dinner while they were still in the Philippines. All because he did not agree to cover up for her plunder.

Forget Ben Abalos. He would most likely hold on to his legal hard nose. He will take chances with technicalities and equally corrupt magistrates. Besides, even as mayor of Mandaluyong, he was already corrupt. His family was able to stash all the capital that built the "Crossings" chain of department stores from so-called SOPs he collected from business licenses and construction permits.

I am sure Mike had a dossier on Abalos that he can put the former judge on leash. It is only in the Philippines that the chairman of the Commission on Elections takes multiple trips to a foreign land to broker for the First Gentleman. Equally promised impunity, he increases his leverage on the First Kotong by accepting to be scapegoat. But with a conscience seared, Abalos is playing for greater stakes here for his equal weight in gold.

Time, however, is running short for the First Kotong. And it is too late for PR to remedy.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has taken the same corrupt and violent road Marcos took towards the end of his term. Today as we speak, even the White House, the State Department and the American Embassy in the Philippines has categorically told Gloria that she must exit after her term and allow a credible election for her successor.

Of course Gloria is trying leverage back by forcing the renegotiation of the Visiting Forces Agreement. As a lameduck and unable to use her soiled Chinese card this time, she will of course fail to establish a counterpoise.

My group alone has more than 20 live cases against her in the Ombudsman, mostly for plunder.

The spectre of one day after her term she will lose all her friends, is not entertaining at all. First to go will be Ermita, Remonde, Golez and Olivar, her rahrah squad. Next will be Nograles, Puno and Duque, who will be now queueing to the new powers. The pera-pera political parties of Lakas-Kampi will also disintegrate in the same way Monching Mitra saw his party evaporate into the thin air. Mind you, she does not even have the following that Erap had, even through his prosecution, eventual incarceration and until now.

With Gloria, everybody is only as good as their last good performance. She used all her classmates to feed her ambitions to become president. But soon as she got what she wanted, she betrayed them one by one. Bing Rodrigo walked out of Malacañang because she caught Mike's hand in the cookie jar and she did not sustain her. Bing died some years after leaving Malcañang without the benefit of reconciling with Gloria. When Censors employes trumped up charges against Marilen Dinglasan, she unceremoniously replaced her. This broke Marilen's heart and sank her into a depression that snuffed her life less than one year from the incident. Bing, Marilen and Gloria were bosom friends since grade one at the Assumption Convent School.

So with Gloria who needs enemies? I can already smell the orange suit waiting for her.

As soon as her star wanes, Mike Arroyo will reunite with Vicky Toh with whom he has sired two children, and attempt an escape through Hongkong. His local fortune, he will leave with his brother Ignocito, who then will be non-electable and who will just waste the ill-gotten wealth resuming his drug addition and trying to regain a seat in Congress.

Gloria's children may even be reluctant to visit her in prison for fear of ostracism and reprisal. Her only way out is a bullet into her big, swollen head. Whether self-inflicted or not, nobody cares. Whichever is just as good provided she exits horizontally.

Sad, but necessary.

Neri must reconsider serving as state witness. He could still save the day. Not now but when the case finally gets to the Sandiganbayan.

By that time Gloria would be citizen Arroyo.

Our gluttonous, do-nothing leaders and languishing countrymen

It's heart-wrenching to read the posting here about the police in S. Arabia arresting officers and members of the support group KGS together with victimized OFWs they were trying to help. It brings into focus the many stories about our languishing countrymen who are in that cruel part of the world just so they can have honest work to better their lives. In this context may I ask what our government is doing to assure that our people have access to law and justice? Has there been a definitive response in words and deeds from Philippine officials concerned regarding the inhuman treatment of Filipinos by their employers and what they have done and are doing in this regard?

Instead, we have the following additional information about a thousand female OFW's who had managed to escape the tyranny of their masters and now congregate in a so-called holding area of the Philippine consulate in Jeddah, which the informant said "is like a manila city jail that is congested and lack of raw and drinking water."

Again, may I ask where are our embassy officials, the departments of labor and justice and foreign affairs. Where are those publicity-seeking presidential candidates who have been harking about their Middle East rescue heroics? For once lets get real angry on behalf of our languishing people everywhere if only to persuade our bloated officials to move their fat asses to help them!

To our globe-trotting leader of a banana republic and her baggage handlers and food tasters who think a million pesos is nothing to gorge about: Here's one more way your excesses may find a worthy outlet and for once get your citizens' gratitude in return.

Subject: [OFW-Texas] OFW DOMESTIC HELPERS BEYOND CONTROL
Date: 8/23/2009 8:12:56 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time
From: mario.panlilio@yahoo.com

I just finished helping the rescue of 2 OFW domestic helpers from Taif Saudi Arabia, the 2 is at present in the holding area of the Philippine consulate Jeddah, they are complaining of bad environment at the holding area. They said that it is like a manila city jail that is congested and lack of raw and drinking water. The Female OFW's now in that holding area in Jeddah is around 1000 and it looks like that the Philippine government is running out of control in getting the OFW's justice. Most of them has pending cases against their employers and to me if not remedied soon will keep on increasing until the OFW's become old and sick in this unsanitary living condition.

According to the two almost every other day there are "takas" coming in to the holding area.

The case of the two rescued from taif is supposed to be finished now because during the rescue the Saudi sponsor is caught on the spot and jailed the two did not make TAKAS. The following day the family of the saudi agreed to pay 10,000 saudi riyals each to the two plus one-way ticket to Manila. I am thinking now if there are glitches on the agreement. The case should be followed up from POEA and DFA Manila before its too late. They were in Taif for only 8 Months and complains that most of the time Emilda is being hit in any part of her body and face anytime there is misunderstanding due to language barrier Sometimes avoiding attempted rape. The other OFW is raped 3 times and sometimes orally. They asked help from me to contact the proper people in Jeddah.

This is the info of the two Female OFW's
1. Emilda Alcayde Esiderio = from Capiz, age around 43 yrs old, married with
four childrens 1 college in Roxas city.
Celpon number= 009665-66232509

2. Luz dela Cruz = from Nueva Ecija, age around 30 yrs old, single and eldest Daughter.
Celpon number= 009665-53707541

They were rescued last August 12, 2009, I received the information about Emilda July 20, 2009 , but after that her celpon was confiscated by her madam (arabyana). The madam called me after 3 days and warned me not to inform the authorities about what happened to Emilda.

But August 9, 2009 Luz dela Cruz told me that she is also in the same Saudi family with Emilda and that they are planning to escape while their group with the Saudi Family will spend 3-days in a resort in Jeddah. So that I told Luz to be careful be safe and that it is better to inform the Philippine consulate about the escape.

So the rescue was done properly with the coordination of Saudi Police and Philippine consulate. But the problem now is the proper resolution of their case.

The recruitment agency that processed the two is WAVEX with phone number 0063-2-3026454.

The flood of OFW's coming to Saudi Arabia particularly the domestic helpers keeps increasing everyday and it should be reversed or controlled due to numerous cases now pending her in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. There is a place in Jeddah called GAndara bridge used as standby area for those OFW's runaways and wanted to resolved their case quickly by being deported by the Immigration department. The environment at the Bridge is more worst than the holding areas in the Embassy and consulates.

As an ABP member and an OFW myself this is my contribution for the well-being of our country and people and soon after my retirement I will continue to find solution in preventing the mass inflow of domestic helpers and unskilled OFW in this injusticed country.

The Twelve DISS of Christmas & Joc Joc Bolantes' Grief by Cabring of Datu's Tribe

Alternative XMas carols (politically ribbed for your pleasure) by Cabring of Datu's Tribe

ANG PASKO KO’Y SUMABIT (Hinaing ni Bolante)
(Tune: “Ang Pasko ay Sumapit” ni Levi Celerio)

ang Pasko ko’y sumabit
ngunit ‘di pa rin aawit
kahit sa magdamagang hearing
dahil, diyos ko, ako’y may feeling

kung ako ay magsiwalat
may tatlong pari na dadalaw
at ang bawat isa
ay may ihahandog na dasal pang-patay

bagong taon kala’y bagong-buhay
humingi ng asylum du’n kay Uncle Sam
ako ay nagsikap upang di makita
ginawa ko para kay ma’am!

ayaw ko talagang umawit
balak ko lang ay tumahimik
kalusuga’y naiipit
kapag namatay, bagsak ko’y di sa langit
St. Luke’s pa naman may kamahalan
kaya inyong sundin ‘tong gintong aral
kung mabubuking kayo
sa probinsya magtago, ‘wag nang mangibang-bayan!
