SATUR IS BAGGING THE MONEY FOR MAKABAYAN

It had been hard to believe that Bayan Muna’s Satur Ocampo is able to generate a campaign fund summing-up to 50 million peso minding his former claims of being one of the poorest solon in Kamara. But nevertheless, the country’s broadsheet (name of tapped newspaper) who had just uncovered a funding proposal for the infant political Party-MAKABAYAN and BM’s senatoriables would obviously be divulging a divergent viewpoint. Ordinarily, people would ask “how did Satur bag such an amount minding the “non-benefitting” stance it long claimed while representing a sector in the House of Representatives. But as the facts starting to come-out regarding his “service” in the Communist Army, it would not be too impossible that Jose Maria Sison had been extending him with multi-million NPA-extorted “cash”.

Buying the denials of Satur of having been distant from the Communist Party, one would not doubt that this 1 billion is out of the pork barrels he and BM had been endowed with in three straight terms. Besides, there had been nothing less than intangible and lip-serving projects that BM had set up since its elective post in 2001. Just like the TRAPOs we had come across from before, Satur had been bagging taxpayers’ money for better chances in the senate.

On the end of the day, the unsuspecting public had been the sole victim of Satur and his political line-ups under MAKABAYAN. The civilians that were incessantly extorted by Sison’s red armies in the countryside as well as those that had given him the privilege to own a part of the government’s reserves had been Satur’s “milked cows”. Thus, MAKABAYAN had in fact championed one of its ulterior goals, which by the way involves deforming democratic rights and stealing from the public while they’re wide-awake. Like the other money-spending candidates from before, Satur would gladly make this country pay him back not just in a billion but in gazillions once he get his most longed for position in the Upper House.

MAKABAYAN’s supposed “movement for change” as facts dictate ironically entails sucking-up from both Communist allies and democratic TRAPOs. Literally, the tactic does seem fresh but the intention remains flagrantly rotten. This change that MAKABAYAN and Satur had been trying to feed the masses with is nothing less than a revolutionized money-making scheme for the 2010 election hopefuls.

As people see it, the April 16th forged alliance between MAKABAYAN and some of the members of the Genuine Opposition and Erap Estrada were also nothing less than bonus campaigns meant to project a sure win for Satur and company. It was far from what it projected to be particularly in healing forces and opening reconciliatory talks to generate an organ able to oust Gloria. Else, it was an agreement between vultures that waits for this government’s downfall. Be it for the sake of Satur’s friends in the Left or that of the dissipated TRAPOs under Erap’s wing who wanted no less than “prostitute” themselves for the “glory” of Malacañang.
