Leech errr Lintang Bedol Gets Jail Time and Fine!

Yahoo! Is this for real? Am I seeing things or is this an error……. I can’t believe what I am seeing but this report by Veronica Uy of Inquirer titled “Maguindanao poll exec gets 6 months in jail, P1,000 fine” should get us jumping with joy. Wow, that was quick in a nation known for turtle speed phase there it is, the Tongelec errr Comelec seems to get their act together.

Leech errr Lintang Bedol was sentenced for indirect contempt, hah and this is for openly daring the Comelec to come and get him showing off his arsenal in open contempt at his superiors.


Will he go to jail? Maybe not, his bail was set at P15K or he goes to jail if can’t post it by Tuesday according to the report.

Bedol bragged that he was giving himself another 10 years at the comelec but with the sentenced will he still stay with the comelec for another agonizing 10 years? Should the comelec also not dismiss him for insubordination? I have seen the video interview where he was so defiantly telling the reporter about his arsenal complete with a gun in his waist. What a gas this guy is.... but when he was at the hearing he was saying he only had 2 guns. Hopefully he gets what he deserves but knowing how justice grinds in the land of cheats I will have to control myself and not laugh at the guy just in case by any stroke of cheaters luck he may not serve any sentence once some powers that be decides they can't let their man down.


Well, it seems that when it comes to pricking the ego of his superiors they act swiftly…. If only they can do the same when it comes to investigating the anomalies in the electoral process itself then they may fish their credibility out of the toilet. How about it konsomisyoners errr commissioners when will we see the same vigor in the Koko Pimentel case?

6 months and a thousand peso fine is far less than the havoc Bedol wreaked. What does COMELEC intend to do with the Dimasidsing case? They cannot deny that the Musa assassination is connected with Bedol.

just six months and P1,000 pesos? that's not victory for democracy.

We have to remember that the conviction was for indirect contempt or pissing off the tongelec "gods".... swift justice when you piss off the power trippers.

Unfortunately the slain Musa Dimasidsing will fall in the jurisdiction of the criminal courts and the law enforcers that does not involve the ego of the power trippers so we may never see justice served knowing how they dispense justice in the nation.

As to the electoral anomalies... again it may not see the light of justice lest they uncover so many skeletons in the closets of these tongelec and politicians.

I do not know if we should be happy or cry with this turn of events on my inbedolable favorite Comelec Official from Maguindanao.

Consider briefly the major issues against the latest member of Malacanang's TEFLON GANG, firstly, Bedol allegedly lost the first copy of the COC from maguindanao that allows the Comelec to use secondary evidence and paves the way for the shaving of KoKO Pimentel's advantage against Migs Zubiri and the latters eventual proclamation by Comelec as the 12th winning senator during the last election and secondly, by exhibiting such highly contumacious act before a quasi-judicial body. These acts were CLEAR and AUDACIOUS travesty of the law, committed by a provincial Comelec offcial. Yet the government response to them is no different from having caught a thief who after having broken into a home, committed rape while in the course of his robbery and escape with some valuables of his victim. When caught, the police made a big media event about the thief being caught and later sent to prison for the theft but made no mention about the rape . When asked about the rape, the authorities evaded the querry by saying; Sir, iba yung rape kaysa theft or robbery!

In Lindang Bedol's situation, the crime of election fraud is naturally different from the case of contempt against him but what is the government doing about this fraud? Another Hello Garci being shoved down our throats?

Once more, the public grievance is being addressed under the doctrine of the RULE BY LAW and not by the RULE OF LAW.

The tragedy of them all is that while the authorities seem to be aware that we know that they are trying to pull our legs, the charade continues because it appears that everything is ok to all sundry!

No wonder, tuloy pa rin ang patayan at abduction sa ating paligid!

wow, fidel bullseye..... rule by law and not rule of law. Too much superficial or scratching of the surface and not delving on the very core of electoral fraud.

Indeed using the rape analogy truly mirrors the state of misgovernance in the land of cheats. It's really a mix emotion and a lot of self control is needed lest we get disapointed which is most likely the case once the powers that be decides to take it easy on unbedolable incriminating evidence that may go public once they apply the rule of law.

About the more important issue of the death of Musa Dimasidsing, whose spirit, I could only surmise , wanders the hallowed halls of Batasan at this very minute, asking justice not only for his own demise but for those of the countless more of our people, both known and faceless, whose only sin during these most dangerous time of our lives,is to speak for those of us who could not, we ask : WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT IT?

Nothing?

Would it be surprising then if we would WAKE UP one morning AND READ IN THE HEADLINES that Senator Lito Lapid, a convicted felon who, by some stroke of luck for him and ill fate for our people, was given presidential amnesty for having sticky fingers while in office as governor of Pampanga, would propose in such perfect language of the Queen of England, the illegality or nullity of BROWN OUTS OR POWER FAILURE during an Election Period to avoid a recurrence of another MUSA DIMASIDSING?

Indeed, the list of awardees in national governance under the current regime for the KWINTAS BALIWAG NECKLACE is getting longer every day!
