FROM THE BARREL OF MY PEN
By Gonzalo “Jun” Policarpio


RUSHING TO THE SEA TO DROWN

When the Philippine Supreme Court branded the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo-sponsored People’s Initiative to amend the Constitution as a “grand deception” in its historical decision to dismiss the petition of the proponents, it crushed any remaining hope of this fast rising lady tyrant to perpetuate herself in power a la Marcos. The rule of law clipped her fangs.

Now I hear that the de facto president of the Philippines will try another trick to impose her will over the Filipino people. Using her giggling and sneering cronies in the House of Representatives, she will re-charge the low battery of Speaker Jose de Venecia to come out with an illegitimate assembly to amend the constitution out of her unscrupulous “yes M’am” majority members of the House whose stinking pockets of money betray their loot of the farmers’ funds. But they will surely fail. God always sets a limit to what his creations can do to destroy other creations.

It is still wise to wait for the hand of God to prick the hardened heart of the Filipino tyrant and surrender to the true voice of the Filipino people that ask her to obey the truth else she and her legion would be like the demon-possessed swine in the Bible rushing to the sea to drown.

Let me borrow the words of former Philippine President Manuel Quezon about my feelings for this coming November 7th midterm elections: My loyalty to my party ends, where my loyalty to my country begins. For I would not mind seeing the imminent loss of the Republican control of Congress as long as the corrupt ultra-conservative and racist Republicans are replaced. The United States is a country of immigrants and symbol of true liberty and democracy. To the lost offspring’s of Hitler, you are lost and stay lost.
