The line-up of Nacionalista Party (NP) is said to be closing their eyes and ears on the Senate’s call to censure NP bet Sen. Manuel Villar over his hand in the C5 Double insertion controversy. These 2010 hopefuls, who are early Villar suck-ups, that include Communist supportive senatoriables like Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza are obviously boycotting the Senate inquest in exchange of continued political favors. The well-financed NP and its “able” machinery that could boost the campaigns of Maza and Ocampo are too valuable that the graft case on Villar is deemed irrelevant.
This is the same mantra of Villar’s minions in the Senate that include Senators Allan Cayetano, Edgardo Angara, Joker Arroyo and Lito Lapid. All five of said senators made a no-show stint last Janury 19th as the Senate opened its quorum on the inquest regarding the C5 funds. Sadly, this is how Villar’s charm reigns among its co-senators. Villar is apparently already enjoying immunity even before getting duly elected. The supposed demigod image of Villar is the very reason why Ocampo and Maza gambled their “names” under his picket despite the sounding disfavor of the public. Absolution in the Philippine politics is made possible by “money”, influence and “charm”; Villar is enjoying this fairly early.
Ocampo and Maza claimed to have been on the streets for the pursuit of people’s interest. They were there during the EDSA Uno revolt that seated former Pres. Cory Aquino in the promise that reform and change of leadership would resolve the sickening extent of political exploitation. But it is no secret that EDSA I remained ineffective, otherwise EDSA Dos and Tres would not have taken place. Something definitely went wrong despite people’s eagerness for reform. And surely, it is because people like Maza and Ocampo continue to exist. Both of them ride on different issues from TRAPO to the next but easily reconciles with those claimed grafters in exchange for favors.
The 2010 elections will serve as the breaking point politics wise. This will bring a new Communist breed inside the state government spearheaded by Maza or Ocampo who have already transformed themselves as TRAPO lapdogs. Quite frankly, their “rights groups” would now swear to protect the best interests of Villar and Nacionalista’s, turning them altogether into “Villar’s rights groups. Inevitably, Bayan Muna (BM) will transform to “Villar Muna”. This newly-formed “VM” would gladly help in sidetracking the investigations on NP’s presidential bet. In time, there will surely be a VM-led picket protests pressuring the government to junk the C5 controversy.
It is disturbing how politics is “fashioned” to fit the interest of every hopeful here in the country; like how TRAPOs laundry their names clean and prey on the vulnerable public. In this array, Maza and Ocampo are the best lab rats and satisfy their long quench for much power. Both of them are a disgrace to the victors of Edsa revolts.

A LONG JOURNEY OF MAKABAYAN
The Pulse Asia released its latest survey on the senatorial preferences for the upcoming 2010 elections. It was conducted from July 28 to August 10, 2009 with a number of 1,800 respondents. As a result, Senator Jinggoy Estrada topped the firm’s survey if elections were held today. Estrada got an amazing number of votes gaining half of the percentage votes (50.2%). The survey results showed the 14 out of the 71 aspirants who have a possible chance of winning the Senate seats.
The possible elected senatorial candidates are as follow: Senator Mar Roxas(48%) came in second rank followed by Pia Cayetano (46.6%), Bong Revilla (46.4%), Franklin Drilon (46.3%), Miriam Santiago (45.2%), Jamby Madrigal (38.9%), Ralph Recto (37.6%), Jejomar Binay (37.5%), Koko Pimentel (36.1%), Edu Manzano (34.9%) and Juan Ponce Enrile (32.1%).
Considering the top 12 possible winners of the senatorial seats, the MAKABAYAN senatorial candidates need to soar high as they landed almost near the last spot. According to the result, Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo got 4.8% votes while Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiňo only got 3% votes.
A year ago, the same survey has been made by Issues and Advocacy Center. It showed that among 1,200 respondent Ocampo had 9% votes, Casiňo has 5% votes while Maza has 4% votes.
It is clearly seen that MAKABAYAN candidates got the least possibility of winning the senatorial race yet they are still confident enough to continue what they have started. Ocampo and group are in pursuit of power that can be attained by winning a senatorial seat. However, as the survey suggests they need to have another strategy in getting a position in the government. Therefore, they have resorted to negotiating with presidential hopefuls by offering 2M command votes from their alleged supporters for the 2010 elections in exchange of 5 assured cabinet posts. No sure candidate would actually fall for this, of course.
More troubling perhaps is the actual candidacy of Ocampo. No one seems to be against his candidacy in the senatorial race even though he clearly has not shown a stand against denouncing the issue of armed struggle of the Communist Party of the Philippines. In fact, he is outrightly embracing and promoting the idea as a complement to the legal struggle of his party. In present day Philippines, is there really a place for armed struggle? Shouldn’t our senators promote peace and unity instead of violence and war?

CPP-NPA-NDF 2 Million Command Votes for Sale
Nakipagkita kamakailan si Bayan Muna Rep. Satur OCAMPO sa isang Presidentiable. Sa nasabing pagkikita ay inalok ni Satur ang nasabing Presidentiable ng 2 milyong boto. Ngunit, mariing tinanggihan ng nasabing Presidentiable na ngayo’y senador, ang alok ng malaman nito na ang kapalit ng 2 milyong boto ay ang pagbibigay ng apat na cabinet posts sa kaniyang administrasyon at chairmanship sa mga ilang committees sa senado kung ito ay manalo sa dadating na eleksyon sa 2010.
Ang meeting ay nagpapatunay lamang na isa-isa ng nilalapitan ng Makabayan ang mga kilalang presidentiables sa pamamagitan ni Satur Ocampo, Teddy Casiño, at Liza Masa bilang kanilang opisyal na mga negosyador.
Nagpapatunay sa isang natuklasang dokumento kung saan nakasaad ang criteria ng CPP sa pagbibigay ng endorsement sa mga nilapitan na presidentiables.
“Critical Support - pepwedeng magkaroon ng suporta sa isang presidentiable, pero ililinaw natin na hindi bulag na endorsement. May kasunduan tayo at posibleng i-critic kung di sya tutupad sa mga pangako nya. Nililinaw natin sa public ang kanyang mga posibleng kahinaan”
Ayon pa sa CPP document, kasama sa sinasabing criteria sa pagpili ng susuportahang Presidentiable ang mga sumusunod:
1. Plataporma na dapat ay pasok sa idelohiya ng CPP o di kaya ay hindi kokontra sa mga plano ng CPP;
2. Resources na lumalabas ay doble dahil iba yung hihingin para tustusan ang kampanya ng Makabayan at iba pa rin yung para sa movement.
3. Pangako na makapagbibigay ng post-elective positions sa magiging administrasyon sakaling manalo.
4. Kakayahang manalo ng presidentiable.
5. Maisama ang mga suportadong candidates sa local at national positions.
Ang pag-alok ng 2 milyong boto at ang hinihinging kapalit ni Ka Satur ay isang kongkretong ehemplo na nagbebenta ng boto ang Bayan Muna at ito ay dapat maimbestigahan ng COMELEC sa lalong madaling panahon.
Sa pagtanggi ng nasabing Senador ay maaaring hindi lang isa ang nilapitan ng grupo ni Satur para ialok ang nasabing 2 milyong boto.
Ang political strategy ng Makabayan na makiki alyansa sa lahat ng maaaaring makapitan upang masiguro ang kanilang posisyon sa darating na eleksyon kung sino man ang manalo. Kaya naman pati Si dating Pangulong Erap na noon ay kinasusuklaman din nila Satur ay ngayo’y kaanib na nila.
Alam nila Satur na ang isang appointed Cabinet Secretary ay may kapangyarihang mag-appoint ng kaniyang nagugustuhang undersecretaries at nagmimistulang hari ng kaniyang departamento.
Para sa mga Kasama,
Isang malugod at makabuluhang pagbati para sa mga kasama na nakapag paabot ng mga impormasyon at mga mahahalagang dokumento na magpapatunay ng mga buktot na gawain ng CPP-NPA-NDF. Upang ito ay maipaabot sa kaalaman ng ating mga kababayan.
MABUHAY!!!
