Grace Poe is becoming a trapo
CANDID THOUGHTS
By BONG O. WENCESLAO


SEN. Grace Poe seems to be taking us for a ride. She has continued to make the people believe that she is still mulling about running for a higher post in next year’s elections. Yet, she has already drafted a platform of government and this: she has been going the rounds of the country shaking hands like declared presidential candidates Mar Roxas of the Liberal Party (LP) and Jejomar Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).

That is why the more I look at her and her body language the more I realize that my initial perception of her was wrong. In just more than two years in an elective position (senator), Poe is fast becoming a traditional politician (trapo). She is manipulating our perception of her.

Her being trapo showed in her stance on the recent protest action of the Iglesia ni Cristo against Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is hearing the criminal charges that a former Iglesia ni Cristo minister is filing against the religious group’s leadership, called the Sanggunian. Iglesia members are in Edsa in a “show of force.”

Instead of helping to ease tensions by clarifying how the judicial process works, Poe (and Binay and even her supposed running mate Sen. Chiz Escudero) didn’t.

Here’s Poe:

“Magtataka ka rin, bakit ang tutok doon, samantalang halimbawa ang ibang mga kaso ng gobyerno wala naman silang mga witnesses pa na naka-hold (You would wonder why the focus is there while for other government cases they have not held witnesses yet).”

There is nothing statesmanlike in that statement. Rather, it is intended to woo the Iglesia ni Cristo, which is known to vote as a block, into supporting her candidacy. That line is not only ill-informed, it is misleading and illogical.

Poe (and Binay and Escudero) wants the DOJ to finish first its probe into the Mamasapano incident wherein 44 elements of the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police (PNP) were killed. That is not how the justice system works. Whatever the case is filed, you deal with them. If the DOJ, or any of our law enforcement agencies or even the courts, won’t do that, what will happen to the non-sensational cases that also need attention?

Besides, the Iglesia protest is jumping the gun on de Lima and the DOJ. Expelled Iglesia minister Isaias Samson filed charges for the crime of serious illegal detention against members of the Sanggunian whom he alleged to have detained him when the rift within the religious group erupted. Here’s how his lawyers, Trixie Cruz-Angeles and Ahmed Paglinawan, described the Iglesia’s protest action and the status of the case in a statement:

“Instead of answering the allegations at preliminary investigation, they immediately call out the Department of Justice officials as being biased, based solely on their perception that the mere docketing of the case at the main office is already proof of said ‘selective’ justice…

“The investigation has not begun, no evidence has been adduced and neither side has been heard. The complaint was filed on Tuesday 25 August, and no notices for hearings have been sent out. What are they complaining about?”

With that clarification, what does it make of the statements of Poe, Binay and Escudero? And since I have friends in the Iglesia ni Cristo, I also hope its leadership would listen to the voice of reason. Or of this expression of the democratic principles that guide our society’s existence: We are a government of laws and not of men. ([email protected])

Commentary

Jojo, Grace or Mar? Surprise, it’s Bongbong!

By: Gualberto B. Lumauig
August 31st, 2015

WE OLD political warriors, inured as we are to the vagaries of politics, don’t take too seriously the so-called political analysts and number crunchers who predict the likely winners in the coming elections. They are just guessing, and their guesses cannot be any more accurate—or reflective of the situation on the ground—than yours, mine or ours.

In assessing where the wind blows in a political derby, the preferred protocol by us old in the political game is direct interaction—like random chat, interview, glad-handing braced by eye contact with the public or groups whose political sentiments or leaning we are trying to pin down or plumb. Exactly what I have been doing the last few weeks to try to get the people’s thoughts on 2016 politics which is starting to boil.

My reading of the political environment, as matters now stand? The people—most of them anyway—are in a quandary, confused about who to support for president in 2016 from among those planning to run, those sending out strong signals they might run, and those already running. What basically causes their dilemma?

Jojo Binay. The man, admirers proclaim, was a crackerjack mayor who all but transformed the once sleepy town of Makati into a pocket Singapore. Now a city, Makati has grown so rich during Jojo’s watch it has money spewing out of its sewers. It is the only local government unit that can boast of womb-to-tomb social services and benefits for its citizens, from the toddlers to the elderly. Jojo was elected vice president in 2010, streaking from the bottom of the heap to the top, leaving rival veep wannabes awestruck, uncomprehending what windstorm had hit them. For five years thereafter, Jojo kept the top spot in popularity ratings, his number consistently in the high 70s. And up to a year ago, friends and foes alike have all but conceded the presidency to the Makati political kingpin, Jejomar Binay.

Then disaster struck. A Senate investigation uncovered funny happenings in Makati during the decades-long Binay family rule of the city—happenings which brought, according to allegations, the Binays unbelievable wealth. All these allegations, of course, are just that: allegations yet to be proven in court.

Grace Poe. The junior senator is a shooting star, a political phenomenon everybody—well, almost everybody—is excited about at this, to use the favorite cliché of politicians, “point in time.” Grace has paper-thin credentials to justify her meteoric rise in the political firmament. But there she is, outshining old political war horses in popularity, propelled to the loftiest position in voters’ preference by startlingly capturing the No. 1 position in the 2013 senatorial elections and by reason of her being a child of cinema’s authentic and revered idol Fernando Poe Jr.

Grace is not without endearing qualities.

Articulate, bright and with steel-like personality, she radiates strong conviction and will. She displayed these qualities as chair of the Senate committee that conducted the investigation and hearings on the Mamasapano tragedy, where she boldly asserted that P-Noy shared accountability for the incident which she unhesitatingly called a “massacre.”

Granted Grace’s sterling qualities, among these a fresh face on the national stage, untainted by the sludge, smudge, slime and scum of politics, still it cannot be denied that it is too soon to shoehorn her into the presidency. She only has a nodding acquaintance with economics, foreign affairs, military matters and such spheres, if at all, that a president cavorts in.

Mar Roxas. Here’s a man only a few, if any, can be more honest and decent and trustworthy as a public official. He is every inch a gentleman, a public servant unblemished by a scintilla of corruption, sprung from buena familia with a history of selflessness in public service, bright, hardworking and well-educated. Is there anyone more supremely qualified for the presidency than him?

Roxas has one character flaw, he is too timid to make quick, bold decisions. He temporizes, he studies and restudies, examines and reexamines endlessly obviously doable and logical solutions to problems, such that by the time he acts, the problems have tripled in gravity if they are still salvageable at all.

There you are, three presidentiables who, though deserving of their aspirations, have imperfections that leave people wondering if it’s wise to support any one of them.

But what about Digoy Duterte? Yes, he is talked about by ordinary folks as one who could enforce discipline in our society. He could fix the chaotic Manila traffic, put the heebie-jeebies on criminal elements in streets and in Customs, etc. The dilemma bothering voters about Digoy is he openly admits he has two wives and several girlfriends on the side. Will this mean there’ll be two first ladies and a bevy of mistresses at the Palace if and when he becomes president?

Now Bongbong Marcos. He’s getting attractive day by day as a presidential prospect. The transformation of Bongbong from a carefree youth with no serious inclination into an articulate political thinker who can examine knowledgeably all angles of national issues has been phenomenal. Eloquent and articulate, the lad has got talent. Isn’t he being a Marcos drawback? Nope. Surprisingly, the name has reacquired its old magic among rural voters.

So, is Bongbong the dark horse in 2016? Abangan.

from 'It’s the dictator’s turn to laugh at Binay' by Boying Pimentel:

Yes, Bongbong is not his father; but didn’t Marcos Jr. also say repeatedly that he thought life under Dad the Dictator was pretty much like paradise?

In fact, Marcos Jr. also argued that if only the Filipino nation had not kicked his father out, the Philippines would be like Singapore today.

Which should really make anyone, including Binay, ask: What is this guy smoking?
You mean the Philippines could have become like Singapore, considered one of the least corrupt nations in the world, under a tyrant now considered one of the most corrupt rulers in history?

That doesn’t bother Binay.

Iglesia brouhaha showed Poe a ‘trapo,’ says erstwhile mentor

@inquirerdotnet
September 7th, 2015


Sen. Serge Osmeña III. NOY MORCOSO III/INQUIRER.net FILE PHOTO

Sen. Serge Osmeña on Sunday said Sen. Grace Poe’s lead in presidential polls may be affected after she supported the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) mass action against the Department of Justice, making her appear to be a traditional politician (trapo).

Speaking on dzIQ, or Radyo Inquirer, Osmeña, who always gave Poe advice, this time offered no help when asked how she could correct her “mistake.”

“She has strategists. She should ask her strategists,” Osmeña said. Poe, he said, had already teamed up with Sen. Francis Escudero against his advice.

“She was wrong there, she appeared to be a trapo,” Osmeña said of Poe’s statement justifying the INC’s five-day mass action that started at the DOJ office and culminated on Edsa.

Poe received flak for saying the politically influential INC was just exercising its rights and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima should explain the merits of the case filed by a former INC minister.

Osmeña reiterated his disapproval of Poe’s team-up with Escudero, saying the latter brings with him “more minuses” than pluses.—Christine O. Avendaño

EDITORIAL

Poe’s Palin?

Philippine Daily Inquirer
September 19th, 2015

“In choosing Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has chosen for the future,” said former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2008, when McCain and Palin ran against the tandem of Barack Obama and Joseph Biden for the presidency and vice presidency, respectively, of the United States.

The world knows how that pronouncement laughably panned out. After a blazing first few weeks during which she energized the Republican base with her image as a tough-talking, family-values-oriented politician who also happened to be a glamorous woman, Palin proved to be a spectacularly problematic candidate—callow, vacuous, ill-informed, clearly unfit to occupy a position that is a heartbeat away from the most powerful and consequential job in the world. As pundit Andrew Sullivan put it then, “The only non-negotiable criterion for the vice presidency is an ability at a moment’s notice to become the president, if the worst happens. Palin fails by that criterion.”

When your choice of presidential running mate turns out to be a fiasco, naturally your ability to judge character comes under a cloud. McCain, before then a celebrated war hero admired for his maverick views on many of the hot-button issues that have traditionally divided American politics, was suddenly seen by many as a cynical, reckless man who, in pursuit of his ambitions, would go so far as to put his country in potential danger by choosing a glib and flashy but highly unqualified running mate. The duo would go on to lose the race, and McCain will forever be associated with the singular embarrassment that is Palin.

There’s a lesson here somewhere for Sen. Grace Poe, who has not only declared her intention to run for president in 2016 but, this early, also revealed her choice of running mate: Sen. Francis Escudero. To be sure, Escudero is no Palin; smart and articulate especially when talking in Filipino, he has displayed a basic grasp of certain pressing issues. Whatever point one could raise about him, ignorance is not one of them.

But he does bring to the equation something with which Palin likewise burdened McCain: the question of why. Why would McCain choose an unfit running mate for vice president? And Poe: Why would she pick a man whose track record appears, on many points, at odds with the image and advocacies she has cultivated, and which led to the steep rise in public esteem that arguably has given her the impetus to consider gunning for the presidency?

Poe contrasts herself from her putative rivals by touting her unsullied record. Vice President Jejomar Binay is compromised by a raft of corruption charges. Mar Roxas, the Liberal Party’s standard-bearer, is weighed down by the many blunders of the Aquino administration, from the outlawed Disbursement Acceleration Program to the Mamasapano tragedy and the daily traffic hell. Poe’s sensible stand on many raging issues has earned her plaudits from the public; that stand, along with her clean persona and intimate connections with show biz royalty, and despite her glaring lapse vis-à-vis the controversy involving the Iglesia ni Cristo, has made her a viable “presidentiable” to many.

But Escudero? He stood by Joseph Estrada throughout the revelations of the latter’s corruption and perfidy as president. True, he railed against the venality of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, but his selective campaign proves that when it comes to basic good governance, he can overlook the monumental faults of a patron and ally and take up the anticorruption mantle only when it’s convenient to do so.

The man is a politician’s politician, apparently cold-blooded and ruthless in pursuit of his interests. After Estrada’s ouster, he was among a cabal of young congressmen who engineered the near-impeachment of then Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. on the feeblest of grounds. In the 2010 presidential election, he initially declared support for the Aquino-Roxas tandem but eventually campaigned for Binay as VP. He has been credited for Binay’s upset win. Now he and Binay are no longer on good terms, because he has once again jumped fences and latched on to someone who has made a dent in the public consciousness.

Poe may declare herself an independent candidate, but her choice for vice president brings with him some of the worst baggage of traditional politics. Citizenship might not even prove to be her undoing, merely her judgment on the kind of point man she wants to be by her side in the race to Malacañang.

if only grace accepts being vice-president to mar roxas meantime. if only she stops listening to the ambitious and, yes, untrustworthy chiz escudero, one of two senators who love their voices, who may end up as her political albatross. (i wholly agree with the stand of senator serge osmeña and some others as regards escudero.)

it has come to pass. grace is loyal to escudero.

if senator grace poe decides to run for president with senator chiz escudero as her vice, we can kiss our hopes goodbye. binay may make it.

i now hope this does not come to pass.

from joe america---

My own personal wariness as to Grace Poe’s allegiance is a product of her deeds. It is cerebral more than emotional.

Judging by her deeds . . . not heritage . . . Grace Poe’s allegiance is fickle. It is fluid. It goes with expediency, not principle. Her avid willingness to criticize the standing government displays an odd lack of pride in the Philippines and the Aquino Administration’s considerable accomplishments.

Well, it’s much like her ability to offer up oaths here and there, on citizenship. To drop and swap allegiances as they suit her. Allegiance seems to be a tool for her, for her goals.

Her deeds, her words, here in the Philippines, in public office as a Senator, reflect that fluidity:

What patriotic senator would insert herself into Philippine foreign affairs and suggest a change in direction is to be expected with regard to America, unless it is because the statement would be popular among Filipinos? [“Grace Poe: PHL shouldn’t rely on US in West Philippine Sea dispute“; GMA News Online]

What realm of sacrifice for nation is embodied in her willingness to decline the offer of the Vice Presidency graciously presented by President Aquino?
What was gained from the Mamasapano hearings she chaired with Senator Escudero? A political result castigating the President, generals in tears, secrets dumped into public view, integrity of earnest peace negotiators questioned, and the BBL in tatters. No healing. No uplift of the nation. It is a rather peculiar way to demonstrate care-taking of nation. But it was great for her popularity as she surfed deftly onto the Mamasapano rage.
What was the meaning of her statement (again with Senator Escudero) saying that she did not support the BBL, a statement recanted the next day by Senator Escudero? What is the good Senator FOR, I often wonder. [“Poe, Escudero say they’re against BBL, lifting of limits“; Inquirer]

What was gained by her refusal to support law and order over a reckless Iglesia ni Cristo church seeking to avoid a police investigation by staging a mass protest?

So I look for dedication to the Philippines, and I see political play, angling for popularity rather than what is good for the nation.  I’m wary.
To tell the truth, I suspect that for many Filipinos, such logic will be irrelevant. What will be relevant is the widespread love/hate relationship that Filipinos have with the US, the hate attached to the history of a brutal Philippine American War and its attendant racism, the insult of occupancy, destruction of Manila in WW II, and US support of the brutal Marcos regime.

Their reaction, I suspect, will be simple. And visceral.

“Americans in the Palace?”

“No way.”

That is likely to be the toughest hurdle for Senator Poe to overcome.

But Escudero? He stood by Joseph Estrada throughout the revelations of the latter’s corruption and perfidy as president. True, he railed against the venality of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, but his selective campaign proves that when it comes to basic good governance, he can overlook the monumental faults of a patron and ally and take up the anticorruption mantle only when it’s convenient to do so.
The man is a politician’s politician, apparently cold-blooded and ruthless in pursuit of his interests. After Estrada’s ouster, he was among a cabal of young congressmen who engineered the near-impeachment of then Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. on the feeblest of grounds. In the 2010 presidential election, he initially declared support for the Aquino-Roxas tandem but eventually campaigned for Binay as VP. He has been credited for Binay’s upset win. Now he and Binay are no longer on good terms, because he has once again jumped fences and latched on to someone who has made a dent in the public consciousness.

Clearly, Escudero has no rivals...

Mar-Leni tandem to be announced Monday—LP stalwarts

By: Aries Joseph Hegina
INQUIRER.net
October 4th, 2015


Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo and Liberal Party standard-bearer Mar Roxas. MARK ALVIC ESPLANA/INQUIRER SOUTHERN LUZON FILE PHOTO

Liberal Party (LP) solons have confirmed that Camarines Sur Representative Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo is the administration party’s vice presidential bet in the 2016 elections.

In separate text messages, LP Vice Chair and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. and Laguna Representative Dan Fernandez said that the announcement of Robredo’s vice presidential bid will take place on Monday at Club Filipino in San Juan City.

“I think that is our agenda–to proclaim her (Robredo) as our vice presidential candidate,” Belmonte said.

Fernandez said that the announcement of Robredo’s vice presidential bid is “a sure thing.”

“Tomorrow, the LP will introduce Congresswoman Robredo as the administration vice presidential candidate. That is a sure thing to happen,” Fernandez said.

Along with the announcement for Robredo’s VP bid, LP is also expected to reveal its senatorial lineup on Monday.

LP was supposed to announce its vice presidential candidate and senatorial lineup last Sept. 30 but moved the announcement to Monday.

In the LP’s National Directorate and National Executive Council (NECO) convention which was presided by party chair President Benigno Aquino III last Sept. 30, it was officially announced that former Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II will be its presidential candidate.

Robredo has remained mum on her plans for the 2016 elections, asking the ruling party for some time to accept or decline its offer. She even sought guidance and prayers from Archdiocese of Nueva Caceres Archbishop Most Rev. Rolando Tirona, the Missionaries of Charity and supporters last week.

Roxas asked Robredo to be his running mate after Senator Grace Poe, who was eyed as Roxas’ partner, announced her presidential bid last September 16. JE

the other vp candidates--escudero, cayetano, trillanes, and possibly marcos junior--are plain ambitious, thus unfortunately giving the impression as moral lightweights.  by all indications, they may just be despite efforts at putting on a show to the contrary.

too bad they also give the impression that they are 'volunteering' themselves as runningmates instead of being 'asked'.

lisod saligan, morpa.  so far, my pedestrian predictions have hit right, kanyahay ra medyo bilib si banana republic.  years ago, i voted for salonga in keeping with the banana republic's 'philosophy' of voting for candidates we believe in but are not necessarily on a winning streak.  (we voted differently because we believed differently, thus.) but i said then that ramos will make it and he will be the right man for the moment.  i don't think i was wrong there.

just now, a marcos on top or nearest the top just might be an insult to the post-war to martial law babies generation (aka baby boomers, those born from 1942-1964 or thereabouts).

we are a great enough country for being very forgiving---some countries may call it idiotic (well, the marcoses are very much around, being voted into public office again and again for good measure while those of similar family histories in other countries have been executed, e.g., romania, libya, iraq, among others)---but to put them back on either of the top 2 posts of the land is tantamount to an insult to the martial law generation who happens to be parents now of generation x-ers and millenials.  who can say if some would take it like denying that we have no parents and grandparents who fought and died in world war 2.

it would be well to just let them enjoy their stolen wealth (as if we have a choice here; marcos is ranked #2 in world kleptocracy, but he's credited for being the reason behind the appearance and popularization of this word in global lingo).  just don't let them dance on the graves of those who have directly suffered the dark years of marcos dictatorship.

which could be the reason why binay chose not to take bongbong as his runningmate, who knows?  binay was one of those leading lights in the fight against dictatorship.  too bad he himself has taken on the ability to amass unexplained wealth. anyhow, a partnership of convenience with bongbong may prove too toxic for him, and he's no fool.

yet in one news item bongbong had said that he refused binay's offer to take him as a runningmate. strange bedfellows?

In a preview of his approach toward China if elected president, Vice President Jejomar Binay stressed China's economic might as he pushed for bilateral talks between Manila and Beijing over the disputed South China Sea.

"May pera po ang China, kailangan po natin ng kapital (China has money, we need capital)," Binay said in an interview on Saturday, April 12, over the radio station DZYM in Catarman, Northern Samar.
(excerpt from Rappler, more at http://www.rappler.com/nation/89880-binay-china-philippines-south-china-sea)

aaargh! bilateral? doesn't he know why it's impossible for the philippines to hold bilateral talks with china over this issue because CHINA DEMANDS THAT THE PRE-CONDITION FOR BILATERAL TALKS IS FOR THE PHILIPPINES TO ACCEPT FIRST THAT IT IS CHINA THAT OWNS THE WHOLE SEA as shown by its controversial nine-dash line?

his statement sounds like he's courting china. it is cause for fear.

EDITORIAL

Not Jesse

Philippine Daily Inquirer
October 7th, 2015

Rep. Leni Robredo—the subject of the longest political courtship in Philippine history, according to an irrepressible Sen. Ralph Recto—needed to meet four objectives in her acceptance speech, as the vice presidential candidate of the Mar-Roxas-led Liberal Party coalition.

Speaking on Monday in the same storied members’ club where Corazon Aquino took her oath of office as president in 1986, Robredo needed to bring to the occasion the right, becoming, sense of history.

Speaking in the same hall where Benigno Aquino III announced his presidential candidacy as standard-bearer of the rejuvenated Liberals in 2009, she needed to make a compelling case for party and program continuity.

Speaking in the same venue where Roxas made a political sacrifice and gave way to Aquino’s candidacy in 2009, she needed to explain, simply and convincingly, why she was reluctant to accept the summons to run for higher office, and why, despite that, she was nevertheless accepting the challenge to serve as Roxas’ running mate.

And speaking in the same Club Filipino which had served as stage or backdrop to historical personalities, she needed to introduce herself to the country, not simply as the valiant widow of Jesse Robredo, but as a person, a political leader, in her own right.

Judging from public reaction, she met all four objectives with great success.

The first she did simply by being herself: A woman unused to the national spotlight, an obvious bundle of nerves. She knew she could not take the decision to run for higher office lightly, and showed it in her demeanor: Calm but tense, her handkerchief in constant use. But how refreshing it was to see a politician not swaggering with unearned confidence but entirely self-aware about her limitations. (There was also a neat touch later in the speech, when she pointed out that she had decided to run for Congress exactly three years to the day.)

She met the second objective by talking often and plainly about President Aquino’s brand of governance (at one point, she spoke of a “Golden Age”—something that critics of the Aquino administration will have a field day with, but also something that many reform-minded members of the administration must have thought among themselves but had not yet articulated). She also spoke about Roxas’ friendship with her husband, the popular mayor of Naga City and Aquino’s first interior secretary, who perished in a plane crash. She tied the two strands together with a simple declaration: “Malinaw po sa akin na si Secretary Mar Roxas ang magpapatuloy sa daang matuwid na sinimulan ng administrasyon ng ating mahal na Pangulo” (It is clear to me that Secretary Mar Roxas is the one to continue the straight path started by the administration of our beloved President).
