Deposed president Erap Estrada found his sins so-called absolution with Teddy Casiño backing his next shot at the presidency. The staunch activist made himself a ‘servant” of Erap in exchange of not less that Php500,000 as an initial pay-off. It had been apparent that Erap won his “salvation” from Casiño in merely half a million peso.
Is not a sign of defeat that BAYAN Muna’s Teddy Casiño knelt-down on convicted plunderer Erap Estrada? Those stalwart enemies are now on locking-arms and even flaunting each others’ company. For the love of politicking and financial machinery, Casiño orders BAYAN Muna members to forcefully swallow Erap down their throats. For the pursuit of Casiño’s political ambitions, BAYAN Muna is to serve the interest of TRAPOs in the Genuine Opposition like chamber maids.
The newly-surfaced political pool-MAKABAYAN that is comprised of BAYAN Muna, GABRIELA, ANAKPAWIS and KABATAAN partylist groups and ofcourse the Genuine Opposition led by both Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay and Erap served as the nook of moral meltdown in the country. MAKABAYAN happens to be the apex of “political maneuvering” that gone from bad to worst. The group that is also campaigning for Casiño’s ascendancy to the Senate by 2010 claims it is anti-TRAPO when in fact it is simply covering-up for the TRAPOs who seemingly pay them millions. Casiño is worse than Erap. Sucking-up with TRAPOs to get into the Senate floor made Casiño the “dirt” shrugged on the rug.
Frankly speaking, Erap testing the presidential waters again despite the respite of the public is to be blamed at Casiño and company who by now traded their militancy to become first-class lapdogs. This made Philippine politics revolting. As EDSA Dos became part of the obviously neglected history, the interest to persecute Erap and the enthusiasm to have the tribunals taking its course died along with it. This was because we let people such as Casiño to dictate us on what and who to believe. We let Casiño speak for us. We let Casiño’s blander and “political speeches” deafen our resolve for what is wrong and fitting. We made Casiño believe that his supposed clout on public perception is enough to have him erring across Erap’s camp, taking adverse and opposing decisions like pushing BAYAN Muna to praise the former’s money and even bending Juan dela Cruz to the limit by supporting the presidency of the man who once abused his authority. Filipinos are not dumb to take-back Erap like his plunder was not an issue. Casiño may have bargained his loyalty for the senate seat, but the masses will think and act differently.
Erap-Casiño tandem for 2010 is what disgusts the public. The far-cry for reform remains elusive as politicking rule 2010. Not the so-called third force or the MAKABAYAN group pushed no less by Casiño and those claiming to be in the “right” are worth people’s trust. Erap is unfit for the presidency. Casiño who thinks otherwise is part of the rotten bunch.

SATUR RECEIVES HALF-A-MILLION FROM ERAP “Making MAKABAYAN an Excuse”
For a shot at better waters Satur is willing to swim the “darkest seas” alongside Erap Estrada. The political “disgust” on MAKABAYAN that nailed the early alliance between Estradas-led UNO and the BAYAN Muna hierarchy was sadly Ocampo’s best tickets to the 2010 Senate. But frankly speaking has Ocampo earned what he believed is his strong stature in terms of public confidence? Most of his stints in the Lower House were walk-outs, random filing of charges against the seated administration with insubstantial evidence, or worse the worn-out calls for people power. Should the people be proud of him when he distances himself from what he claimed “politicking” but rode on “militancy” instead? Ocampo was an elected statesman for nine years after he promised changed and progress to the masses. But obviously those promises were narrowed-down in oblivion.
Like a far ambitious TRAPO, Ocampo backed out from his former stand against Estrada and company in exchange for half-a-million peso. For argument sake, had he persecuted Erap for the deposed president’s multi-million graft? Comparing the half a million peso that had Satur’s mouth shut with Erap’s still uncounted millions, it is quite clear that Ocampo was desperately in need. As if the Php 500,000 was worth his entire career in BAYAN Muna. Was Ocampo that cheap? And was Estrada that naïve to take Satur in UNO without prior rationalization? Erap should have learned a thing or two with what Ocampo had done with GLORIA. It was public knowledge that Ocampo wanted to make an altar for GLORIA during the oath taking in EDSA Shrine after the victorious second wave of People Power. However, Ocampo was among those who quickly trashed GLORIA the minute she was in Malacañang.
Ocampo’s so-called broad alliance with other anti-GLORIA groups in the country was beneficial no less to his senatorial aspiration. Tapping the UNO block that now earns the highest 2010 presidential surveys even if it means turning-down majority of his militant comrades was worth the angst. Just take a look at how Erap’s money machinated the Labor Day rallies into a MAKABAYAN pre-launch. Apparently, the initial 500K was good enough to gather and feed a total of 300 persons in Central Luzon who posed as fitting audience and bait to support Ocampo-Casiño tandem in the nearing elections.
MAKABAYAN was the best excuse to bury BAYAN Muna for good. That is, as Ocampo and Casiño trod down a far disturbing attempt at politicking. Seriously, people are not alarmed with TRAPO malady affecting other Upper House neophytes. What people should arm themselves against were “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. Ocampo and Casiño are out with their true skins- “manggagamit” and “nagpapagamit”. Other than these two, they are ofcourse men who still staunchly support the advent of Communist tyranny in the land. Jose Maria Sison, the Chairman-in-absentia of the CPP and NPA had extended his support for MAKABAYAN and the people behind it for practical reasons that Ocampo and Casiño would surely make JOMA God by 2010.

CAN PEOPLE STILL TRUST TEDDY CASIÑO? “After BAYAN colluded with ERAP”
Thousands of other Bayan Muna members are appalled with Teddy Casiño for forcefully making them swallow ERAP for his 2010 senatorial ambition.
After the April 16th secret meeting in UP-Diliman between GO solons and militant officials, Erap was said to have promised millions of financial assistance to Casiño’s senatorial candidacy under PMAP. Apparently, this would also involve the forging of alliance between the ERAP-led UNO and other militant partylist organizations for the upcoming elections. This was an agreement signed and converged by a few and to be suffered by more than a handful of others.
The EDSA DOS was thrown-out the window and even the courts guilty-verdict on ERAP’s plunder was turned by both Ocampo and Casiño into a stockpile of crap. This are what we (Bayan Muna) fear as political maneuvering sucking identified morality rights to the drain. The doings of this two made Bayan Muna into a laughing stock. They made it clear to the public that no one is obviously fighting for what is right and decently just when it comes to gaining the next higher seat. Unfortunately, it is pretty obvious that I, along with those who rallied with them in Edsa Shrine day-in and day-out for ERAP’s ouster was wittingly played at.
No thanks to these solons, politicking had bested them. Those who sweat and hungered as they picketed in EDSA in 2000 were but a bunch of moronic naives. Casiño-Ocampo bandwagon is what constitutes the downfall of Filipino decency. It seemed clearer to us now, that EDSA DOS was not about championing against corruption instead it was simply personal for others to gain public trust and later on abuse it for their benefit.
Bayan Muna was these two’s stepping stone to “political stardom”. And just like how political maneuvering does away with ideologies and loyalty, Ocampo and Casiño disposed of us like worthless rags. They spit at BAYAN’s boldness to strike malpractice as they became UNO Trapo’s lapdogs. Clearly, they gave the perfect act as they clutched-arms with us as whenever rallies take place. Perfect actors! Perfect bastards!
If they could turn their backs these easily against their comrades in BAYAN, who can tell how and just what they could sell-out for a much higher position. If they can’t be trusted as KAMARA Representatives, are the electorates that stupid to again have them exploiting another seat of authority such as the Senate?
The whole moral reformation crap should start within BAYAN Muna since Casiño and Ocampo is clearly losing their grab at sanity and logic as they collude with Erap the convicted plunderer who stayed not a second in prison. People aren’t deaf. They see pretty damn clear, as flip-flops jettison from one camp to another to serve egocentric few.
