P-noy indulges in double talk

By Gonzalo Duque

 

DURING the EDSA celebration, President P-noy had the best and worst of times denouncing the atrocities of Martial Law and everything that the late Ferdinand Marcos stood for.

Let’s grant that this heir of the Aquino legacy, that from Ninoy and Cory, was an apostle of freedom.

But how do we treat his disguised opposition to the Freedom of Information Law?

One day, he’d say he is all for it, the next day, he’d direct his pawns in Congress and the Senate to block it.

How do we know? Well, we have our insiders there, and we know how President Aquino is doing nasty things there to undermine press freedom.

He has been openly for transparency and freedom. But that’s limited to plain talk, pakitang tao lang. But in reality, he is hiding his tail between his legs.

P-noy is very much unlike his iconic parents, Ninoy and Cory.

We are worried by a society that behaves like it is against any curtailment of freedom, but doesn’t make things favorable for the practice of freedom.

Ito lang pina-gagawa ng Pangulo na open na open sa pag-eendorso at in fact pangngampanya kay Mar Roxas, hindi po ba siya pangulo ng lahat ng Pilipino?

It’s a great disservice to his role as ama ng bayang Pilipinas, hindi po ba?

He is frightened as a dog at the imminent victory of a candidate for president who is not at his beck and call. This is the reason he is moving like crazy to make Mar Roxas, his stooge, to win at all cost on May 9.

Naki-kontrata na sa Smartmatic for this purpose. So stop wondering why the Liberal Party is telling everyone that it will be Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo who will win in the elections. Yes, even if the poll surveys are saying otherwise.

We have it on authority that it will be foolhardy for P-noy and the LP to undertake such will adventurism. Ano ba ang trato nila sa mga katunggali like our man Digong Duterte, Jojo Binay, Miriam Santiago and Grace Poe?

The opposition has to watch out.

Better yet, P-noy has to watch out, too, against the candidates he and his LP are about to crush illegitimately; they have to watch against the anger of the people, if they will do their sinister plan.
