SATUR OCAMPO, TRAPO IN THE MAKING

“The Murder of BAYAN MUNA for leftist-TRAPO Alliance in MAKABAYAN”

Finally rumors cracked fact with BAYAN MUNA launching Satur Ocampo’s senatorial bid alongside the Genuine Opposition bloc financed no less by deposed president Joseph “Erap” Estrada and supposed C5-Road “earner” Sen. Manny Villar last May 28th in UP Diliman. As speculated, BAYAN MUNA members are to contend with sufficing Satur Ocampo’s political ambitions by swallowing-in their long-abhorred ERAP together with now graft-riddled VILLAR in exchange for a “funding scheme” that proves vital to finance Ocampo’s early campaigns. Quite frankly, this “gamitan issue” between top brass in the Opposition and the militant groups of Ocampo is nothing but a usual “hobby” amongst TRAPOs in the government. After the “balimbingan” expect to see Satur Ocampo banging the streets once again lobbying against his recent “financier”, Erap.

As the “illegal” campaigns or should we say the indiscriminate campaigning for the 2010 swarm the media even before the candidacies are filed and campaign period are set, Ocampo and peers in the likes of Liza Masa and Teddy Casiño are now busy setting-up dinner-dates with Estrada-controlled solons. In fact, the doled-out half a million peso by Erap during the April 16th pre-launching of Ocampo’s senatorial bid under the political pool MAKABAYAN served no less than a tip among the iceberg of “paychecks”. It is quite possible that the unliquidated funds and ofcourse the laundered millions during the Erap administration happen to what Ocampo and company are now “begging for a share”. Besides, it would be easier for these militants turned “political” stalwarts” wanna-be to play dumb with the idea of having the multi-million plundered money for their campaigns. It is ofcourse simple to deny.

BAYAN MUNA is clearly being substituted by the TRAPOs merging in MAKABAYAN. The “militancy” façade is actually not working for the said partylist group after the voters dropped BAYAN MUNA like a hot potato year 2004. As such, Ocampo is not dumb enough to rely on mere public perspective on activists being rightists; meaning the people trusting activists are ever right and morally correct. The people ofcourse took notice of just what these activists are up to. Had they lived-up to the reform they promise to uphold once they are sworn-in. More or less, Ocampo and others like him are incapable of hiding their flaws no more. Their three-year consecutive terms in the Lower House led to nowhere. Other than orchestrating rallies and gathering minors and paid participants to make a mob for street actions, Ocampo sure had done nothing else but walk-out during legislative proceedings.

If there had been one thing that Ocampo contributed to the current governing body, it would be no less than adding-up on the long list of “Traditional Politicians” whose loyalty stay with the ones that could better provide them of “power”. The alliance of the GO and BAYAN MUNA thru MAKABAYAN is one potential evidence of TRAPO’s age-old “political maneuvering”. Ocampo who would have gorged-out Erap’s lying eyes during the impeachment proceeding is now grooming Erap from head to toe. He has basically changed into another Erap lapdog.

Exploiting the members of GABRIELA, ACT and LFS is among Ocampo’s to-do list. He is out to make sure his “senator-ship” by hook or by crook; even if this means being Erap’s order-around butler.
