SMOLDERING PRIVILEGE SPEECHLONG CUTS by Atty Salvador D. Diputado, PH.D.
issued on Jan. 2010
If elections were held today, vice gubernatorial contender Conching Lim would easily lose to Tommy Abapo. The on-line survey conducted by DYRD shows the big lead enjoyed by Abapo over Conching Lim.
Abapo got 62% while Conching Lim got only 21%. Elpedio Jala got 17%. This is definitely bad news for Conching Lim. She could even overtaken by Jala in the 2nd spot. Her lead over Jala is measly 4%.
Naturaly, Conching Lim should not expect to get a good showing in the survey. The survey is based on popularity. Abapo is popular, Conhing is not.
Not only that, since the time he started in government service, Abapo's name has not been linked to graft and corruption. Yes , he is clean. But Conching is different.
Ever since, Conching's name has always been linked to the controversial Medicare scandal. For how could she explain the more than 1 million pesos in monthly Medicare claims for her LOL Memorial Hospital in Valencia? Remember that there are 2 hospitals in Valencia. And there is no epidemic ever recorded in Valencia. And yet, Conching LOL Hospital submitted voluminous monthly Medicare claims amounting to more than a million pesos.
Where did she get that much number of patients to justify the million pesos in Medicare claims?
Well , lawyer Tim Cabatos knows the answer. He lawyered for Conching in many of her Medicare Cases.
Still remember that fateful interview of Cong. Ondoy Cajes over Cuentas Claras radio program several weeks ago? REcall that there was an immediate blast from Cong. Ondoy Cajes that I was biased when I asked him about his statement that " ang partido maoy nagtuboy sa akong asawa, si Judith Cajes."
He blurted a lot emotional outburst about my being the lawyer of Governor Erico B. Aumentado on the CONA case before Comelec Manila. Before he went berserk on the airlanes, I reminded him that my question had nothing to do with the CONA case , I was only interested to ask him about his previous pronouncement that it was the admin party that urged his wife Judith to run for congress in the 2nd district. He immediately rectified his statement that " ang partido maoy nag issue sa CONA".
Naturally, he forgot to answer my question on whether or not it was the party, not he or his wife, who actively sought the position for his wife. If he answered that it was really the party which initiated everything, then I would have confronted him with what I knew which was contrary to his assertion. I happen to know that all the while, they had been planning for the candidacy of Judith Cajes, not as a re-electionist mayor, but as a congressman in the 2nd district.
This was long before the filing of COC's. And long before that very controversial unity mass, unity picture, unity raising of the hands and unity dinner which were nothing but a sham.
Sensing the hostility, Longcuts retreated because it would not be nice listening the heated exchange on air. On the next interview with Cong. Cajes, he was not as pikon as the first interview. He seemed friendly and there was no more heated exchange.
Last wednesday evening, somebody told me by text that Cong Cajes had just delivered a smoldering privege speech in the House of Representatives. In his speech, he reportedly attacked the governor, the provincial PNP chief and yours truly.
True enough, the speech is volcanic. The protege of the governor is now a man full of hatred and contempt against the governor. But I leave the governor to answer the charges against him.
It was totally unfair. He destroyed and maligned me without giving me a chance to defend myself. He accused me of lack of credibility in my home province. I wonder where he got this stupid idea. Right after taking the bar exam, I transfered residence sometime in 1989. I am now domiciled in Bohol and only visits my home province during special occasions. I started my legal profession since then and joined the local media in the mid-90's up to present. Where did Cong. Cajes get that stupid idea about lack of credibility in my home province?
Another batch of lies, bay ondoy?
My engagement as legal counsel of Governor Aumentado in the CONA case before something false and malicious. He said he has recordings. Good. Why not use these recording here where it happens?
You see, the unity mass actually happened.
The unity pictured happened.
The unity dinner also happened.
The unity march to the Comelec provincial office also happened.
And the filing of a COC for Mayor of trinidad Judith Cajes, instead of filing a COC for vice governor also happened.
The filing of COC for congressman in the 2nd district, instead of filing a COC for mayoral reelection also happened.
All these were reprted in this paper.
The smashed up in Loboc of the Nissan Patrol registered in the name of Cong Cajes daughter Jane Censoria Cajes also happened.
The reprted presence of Cong. Cajes during the smashed up was also reported.
Other papers also reported.
So why is Cong.Cajes angry with yours truly?
Well, the succeeding episodes will be very interesting.
I have accumulated some exotic stories about Cong. Cajes and Judith Lao-Cajes. Since this lowlife does not have the halls of congress at his disposal, we shall devote a lot of these interesting stories in this corner.
Abangan.
More when we return, stay tuned for more...Part 6 next....
