To those who keep on insulting and cursing me, including one who has just made a CHILDISH THREAT, for my blogs on Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos Recto and the fish kill that struck the province, thank you for KEEPING ME MOTIVATED to pursue the issue as far as I could.
As I’ve said in my preceding blog, I’ll play this game of yours, FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT us to.
Now, read this!
Whether you realize it or not, YOUR CONTINUED REFUSAL, and those of concerned officials, to answer my queries on the owners of illegal fish pen owners is leading your beloved governor to POLITICAL DISASTER!
The ILLEGALITY of some fish pens HAS NOT BEEN DENIED by anyone.
One of you even wrote to me, and I came out with it in a previous blog, that a 90-day grace period given to illegal fish pen owners was about to expire when the fish kill struck.
Which brings me down to just four questions: WHO are these illegal fish pen OWNERS? WHY CAN’T, OR WON’T, anybody name them? Were charges ever filed against them? What makes them UNSTOPPABLE?
NO ONE has given a reply to all these.
Anything ILLEGAL is UNLAWFUL. Anything unlawful must be STOPPED at once. To stop anything unlawful, those behind it must be identified. But you people WON’T DO THAT. In effect whether you admit it or not, you are PROTECTING THESE LAWBREAKERS, initially from the public eye.
Here are quotes from two of your legions and the names they gave:
JEFFREY TEODORO: To hell with you. Salamat ka at civilized pa ako sa mga sagot ko or else nabasa mo ang di dapat mabasa na below the belt. Bakit mo ba pinipilit na malaman ang mga pangalan ng mga businessmen who own those illegal fish cages?. (Sino tinatakot mo sa akala mo?)
MARLENE PASCUAL
You want the names of the illegal fish pen owners to be revealed so badly, then why don't you do it yourself? You make it sound so easy (I’m starting to try that, believe me)
If you people will say that Gov. Vi, or the provincial government for that matter is helpless, the national offices of key government agencies can help like the DENR, BIR, PNP and NBI.
But whoever it will be, they can only help if they’ll know WHO TO RUN AFTER.
If illegal fish pen owners will remain anonymous, it will be an issue against your governor in the 2013 polls. Gov. Vi may be enjoying immense popularity now, yes, but once Batanguenos get tired of illegal fish pens, A SOLUTION will be more important for them than one’s popularity.
And don’t tell me your fellow Batanguenos will never get tired.
Even if I’m not form Batangas, I’ll bet a thousand to one that NOT ALL BATANGUENOS DEPEND on illegal fish pens for their LIVELIHOOD, and that the popularity your governor enjoys now IS NOT 100 PERCENT.
And before I forget, ask whoever that Sanchez is to thank you guys for the FREE INTERNET PUBLICITY your giving him or her by repeatedly mentioning the name in your comments as my employer.
I don’t work for anybody in this issue. Verify it, now.

Paano mo mapapatanggal iyong illegal fish pen kung nagbabayad naman ng permit sa gobyerno? Ayon kasi sa mayor ng Talisay ay nagbabayad daw ng permit at tinatanggap daw nila yong pera sa kadahilanang kailangan ng bayan. Wala namang illegal kung may permit at bayad sa bayan kaya nga di pwedeng sabihin na ibigay ang pangalan nila. Ang solusyon diyan, iyong may ari ng libo libong fishpen ay ipakita sa TV na ipinapatanggal ni Ate Vi iyong ilang fish pen niya.

So many factors that caused the fish kill": overcrowded (fish pens), mother nature and human error. Kung may alam pa kayo. then add ninyo.

What's all the fuss about? All they have to do is dismantle those illegal fish pens.

Sometimes the naked truth is just that - naked. We must not be racists. "Mga Intsik na negosyante" is an affront to all the Chinese here. There may be Chinese involved, but surely a Filipino is in cahoots. Let the office of primary responsibility get the "ball rolling" to unearth every angle of the fish kill.

It's about time bigyan ng leksiyon ang mga Intsik na negosyante (sa illegal fish pens). Hindi sila ang masusunod. Ang masusunod, ang gobyerno,
MARLENE DAMOLO HOWE of Tacoma, Washinton, USA
I've read before that the governor was in the crusade of abolishing illegal fish pens. Why it thrives, I can only blame the local residents who allowed themselves to be used by unscrupulous businessmen. But because Gov. VI is the head of the province, the blame ultimately falls on her. It's saddening because it's hard to monitor every citizen if the person does not want to do the right thing in the first place. It's like a cat and mouse game!

nasa tamang landas si Gov. Vi pagdating sa paglaban sa konstruksyon ng illegal fish cages sa batangas. kailangan lang mag-research at magtanong-tanong sa kinauulan itong blogger. if the blogger is after the names of those owners of illegal fish cages, then he can easily check it sa korte dahil marami na nga ang nakasuhan, at magpunta siya duon mismo sa lugar para personal nyang maitanong sa mga naninirahan duon kung ilang illegas fish cages na ang na dismantled magmula ng maupo si Vilma bilang gobernadora ng Batangas at magmula ng buuin ang task force taal. huwag naman sana nyang pag-initan si Vilma at nagtatrabaho naman ng matino ang tao. sa totoo lang, kitang-kita ang "malisya" at "hidden agenda" ng mga artikulo niya laban sa masipag na gobernadora.
ReplyDeletetamang landas? eh hindi alam ni gov vi ang nangyayari sa kanyang probinsya
ReplyDeleteAno ang pinasasabi ng hunghang na ito? Ang pagiging Gobernador ba ay nakasalalay lamang sa pag dismantle ng mga illegal fish pens na yan?
ReplyDeleteAno akala mo sa trabaho ni Vilma limitado lamang sa Taal Lake?
Maraming dapat asikasuhing problema si vilma at isa lamang ito sa mga problemang ginagawaan niya ng solusyon.
Sorry na lang sa iyo dahil hindi mo masisira ang isang Vilma Santos dahil alam ng mga taga Batangas kung gaano siya kabuting magtrabaho bilang gobernador.
Kahit ano pang paninira mo kay Vilma, hindi mo siya mapapabagsak dahil hawak niya ang katotohanan at kabutihan bilang gobernadora ng Batangas.
Sino naman nagsabi na hindi alam ni Vilma ang nangyayari sa Batangas? Ikaw ba alam mo?
ReplyDeleteAng galing mo naman unggoy.
Akala ko ba mahusay kang writer eh hindi mo alam ang ethics sa journalism.hindi ka naman legitimate writer kundi isang suka writer.wala na nga akong nababasang fish kill issue sa mga broadsheet pero ikaw lang ang walang sawang nagsusulat ito.siempre pa,gusto mong sumikat at mapansin per kuwidaw,ilang araw lang yang pagiging hot mo sa mga reader.Feeling ko,mga fans at supporters lang ni GovVi ang matiyagang nagbabasa sa personal blog mo.Pasalamat ka at pinatulan ka nila.
ReplyDeleteSumagot ang vaklesh at pumapatol sa kanyang readers.ha...ha...ha...disperado at gustong maging instant sikat at the expense of our beloved governor.halatang nakiki-ride on ka sa kasikatan ni Vilma Santos.Eh,basura ka naman.
ReplyDeleteThe popularity of Governor Vilma is a given reality and not the issue. And the same manner with Taal Volcano and Taal Lake.
ReplyDeleteThe real issue of fishkill in Taal Lake is good governance system at the Municipal and Provincial Governments of Batangas. The fishkill is a simple manifestation and validation of many factors such as but not limited to:
1) Gross leadership negligence among the local leaders of Batangas;
2) Presence of culture of greediness by allowing beyond the principle and the reality of carrying capacity of Taal Lake and also allowing the Chinese nationals who are also greedy and wicked;
3) Abusive use of Taal Lake as finite resource without any rest every seven years;
4) Lack of good and strong leadership as regards to the implementation of the regulatory guidelines and functions based on the principle of carrying capacity;
5)Lack of good system of monitoring about the environmental conditions of Taal Lake like water quality based on dissolved oxygen content;
6)Lack of culture of discipline and culture of excellence among the people in the affected area;
7) The Batangas factor of culture of arrogance (Yabang Culture) as indicated by "knowing all attitude by leaders of Batangas";
8)Presence of survival and poverty mindset among the leaders and people of the affected communities, which reinforces the culture of corruption;
9) Lack of appropriate knowledge and technical expertise about the ecological system of Taal lake among the local leaders of the affected area;
10) Dominance of reactive leadership system, and not proactive leadership system being operational among the local leaders of Batangas resulting to the creation of more alibis, excuses and blaming system (culture of palusot);
11)Weak or not empowered citizenry of the affected communities of Batangas, thus with strong presence of dependency culture and passive communities, allowing themselves to be dominated by the culture of patronage politics and based on popularity, and not based on leadership competency;and
12)The lack of master plan for all the Taal Lake areas, thus lacking also with shared strategic directions like the unifying vision, development directions and guiding principles enriching the key stakeholders of Taal Lake.
Those twelve factors are the combined dominant forces manifesting and reflecting with the "fishkill issue and problem in Taal Lake.
Remember, Batanguenos are not the owners of Taal Lake. Intead, they are just co-stewards of that god-given resources. Your core mandate is rule the Taal Lake, and not the Taal Lake is ruling you due to fishkill.
God bless Batangas and God bless Philippines!
Let us all moved on.Ganun pa ang dapat.Tapusin mo na ang fish kill issue.Humanap o mag-isip ka naman ng ibang paguusapang isyu na kapaki-pakinabang.Nakapako ka na lang sa isyung fish kill because you're enjoying an instant popularity at the expense of the Vilmanians and Governor Vilma Santos.Ibang putahe naman.nakakasawa na yung paulit-ulit na.Obvious na nanggagamit ka.User.Wala naman akong makitang butas sa pamamalakad ng gobernadora ng Batangas sa kanyang mga proyekto at paglilingkod sa bayan.Bitter ka kaayo.Maybe hindi ka masaya sa buhay mo o kulang ang sex-life mo.Magladlad ka na kasi.Gusto mo ng hada?
ReplyDeleteMr. Blogger Nemesio Antonio Jr. , You said you're not a Batangueno so you don't really know what's going on in Batangas since you don't live there to actually see and experience it first hand. Everything you claimed you know, you just heard or read only. It's just like the Willing Willie Jan Jan episode, you were commenting based on what your Blog Manager told you and not because you watched it yourself or was there at the studio when it happened. That's not right!
ReplyDeleteYou said the national offices of key government agencies can help like the DENR, BIR, PNP and NBI. So if it's that easy go ahead and do it and I'm sure Gov. Vi will appreciate your help. She can't do it by herself, Gov. Vi needs people's cooperation... Teamwork.
ReplyDeleteTapusin na ang issue ng fish kill. Sabi nga ni Gov Vi wake up call ito para sa lahat.
ReplyDeleteMagtulungan na lang ang lahat at huwag ng masisihan. Hanga ako kay Gov Vilma Santos, napaka positive ng outlook niya sa buhay. Given a chance, malulutas din ng gobyerno ang problemang ito.
Bigyan natin sila ng pagkakataon i=resolba ang lahat. At yun naman walang magagawang tulong tulad ni Nemesio Antonio ay dapat manahimik na lang.
Hoy Bakla, itigil mo na ang pambabtikos kay Vilma, dahil halatang halata ang pagiging berde ng dugo mo.
Hindi ka na nakakatuwa sa mga intriga mo sa gobernadora ng Batangas na si Ate Vi.Sa dami niyang awards,recognitions and citations as public servant,eh pagpapatunay lamang na she's doing her task.hindi lang ang fish kill ang problema ng Batangas.marami pang dapat pagtuunan.tumahimik ka na lang at maghanap ng biktimang mhen.hayok ka pa naman sa laman.Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteHoy balugang vaklesh,gusto mo ng hada.bigyan kita ng botchang isda.shut your big mouth.wala kang ganda tulad ni ate vi na timeless ang beauty.
ReplyDeletethe blogger is entitled to ask for the list of fish pen operators. it is his right. he established this blog precisely to promote good governance through transparency. to all vilmanians please refrain from insulting him. it is not right.
ReplyDeleteThe blogger wants the names and the illegal fish cages to go ASAP that these can be done in a snap. I suggest the blogger to do it himself not wasting his time with all words but not action. The leaders need help to be successful. Blogger, I'm sure Gov. Vi will be grateful if you can help her out with action not words alone. The Good governor might even give you a plague of appreciation for lending her a hand.
ReplyDeleteBoyet, you have stirred a hornet's nest. You're making your blog popular - although not always the way we want it to be.
ReplyDeleteCas Mayor at salt-romblonwriter.blogspot.com
Hopefully,huling isyu na ito,vaklesh.nakakasawa na.nakikisawsaw ka lang sa mga isyu.makipagtulungan ka na lang sa magandang adhikain ni Gov.Vi para sa Taal Lake at sa isyu ng fish kill.Hindi naman soooo soon ang pagresolba ng problemang tulad nito.Kasabihan na,"You cann't please everybody." at isa ka dun.Ang mali mo lang,si Gov.Vi ang tinira mo,eh million ang kanyang vilmanians at supporters sa Batangas.Enough na para matahimik ka.
ReplyDeletePolitical disaster? That's what they thought during the past election....end result? Panalo pa rin...take note, boyet. Actions speak louder than words..and for you who's never there to witness her hands- on involvement in Batangas, no loss at all....ako na taga-Batangas at nakikinabang sa mabuti nyang pamamalakad sa aming probinsya at ganun din ng mga kababayan ko...itaga mo sa bato that if she runs or higher office sya ang iboboto namin at itaga mo rin sa bato that she will surely win not because she is the Queen of Philippine Cinema but because of her excellent track record... Do your own research up close and personal, Nonoy..Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto is a gift for all of us from HEAVEN..kaya nga ba nakakarma ang mga sumisira sa kanyng pagkatao eh dahil puro kasinungalingan. Ala eh, kundi talo ang mga fabricators and propagandists ay tumitigok..not that I wish for such. Gov. Vi has always been a silent worker...so they say, you don't have to let your left hand know what your right hand does...and she's also a silent donor at magtanong ka kay Rosa Rosal.......political disaster pala hah...we'll see who has the last laugh, half-wit.
ReplyDeleteAla e...si gob Vi pa ang kinakalaban ng gungong na ire e...ngayon nga lang ako nakakita at nakaranas ng mahusay na administration dine sa Batangas..personal ko pa ngang nakikita si gob dine sa lawa eh..sya nga na babae pa ang ang mahilig magtanggol para sa mga naapektuhan ng mga illegal fishpens dine..ala e, hwag kang makapunta-punta dine at kaming mga batangueno ang makakalaban mo....hindi ako tumangkilik sa kanyang pagaartista nuon pero ngayung nakita ko ang kabutihan ng kanyang puso lalu na para sa mahihirap ay duble ang pagmamahal ko sa kaniya..
ReplyDeleteDid you do your homework before blabbering? Instead of looking for flaws, just do your job as a concerned citizen of our country...complaining nor bickering will lead you nowhere..The lady governor is painstakingly doing her job to clean up the mess...she can't be in several places at one time and has other programs and projects to deal with..currently, she has flood victims to take care of too..so, maybe you can use your blogspot to ask for aids, instead of making up a worse scenario...our country, in general, needs the help of its citizens...we can not just rely on the government officials..they're not superhumans and they're not immortals either.. We just have to be grateful if they go out there to see and feel the pulses of their constituents and extend their help the best way they can...others are just there for the financial aspect of it sitting on their butts and are never visible to their constituents..may God bless, Gov. Vi and give her the strength to carry out all her good plans for Batangas..we need more public servants like her...Reader's Digest did their survey a few months ago and Gov. Vi was chosen one the MOST TRUSTED FILIPINOS....what say you?
ReplyDeleteVaklesh,seguro naman ay matatahimik ka na dahil kahapon ay sinimulan na ang pagbaklas ng mga illegal fish cages sa utos ni Gov.Vi.Hopefully,napanood mo sa TV Patrol ang good news na ito unless nagbubulag-bulagan at nagtatanga-tangahan ka lang sa mga direct actions ng butihing gobernadora.

GOV VI. AMOY ISDA NA! - Ni Ed De Leon (PM - June 15, 2011)
ReplyDeleteHindi niya inaamin pero nahalata naming medyo naapektuhan, kung hindi man masasabing sumama ang loob ni Governor Vilma Santos sa nagsulat na wala raw siyang ginagawa para sa mga biktima ng fish kill sa kanilang probinsiya. Ang basehan lang ng mga nagsabi ng ganun ay hindi kasi nila naririnig na nai-interviews si Ate Vi at ang nakikita lamang ay ang kanyang vice governor.
Aywan kung lamang basehan iyon pero, kung pakikinggan mo naman ang report ng mga inter agency groups kabilang na ang DENR at ang BFAR, sinabi nilang sa simula't simula ay kasama nila ang gobernador sa imbetigasyon pa lamang at sa pagtulong sa mga biktima ng fish kill lalo na ang mga mangingisdang nawalan ng hanapbuhay. Sinabi rin nilang si Ate Vi mismo ang nagpadala ng mga equipment na ginagamit at mga sasakyan para mahakot at ma-dispose nang tama ang mga patay na isda. Siya rin ang nangunguna para tiyaking hindi na maibebenta ang mga nabulok na isda.
Natatawa na lang ang gobernadora habang nagkukuwentong amoy isda na nga siya dahil kung minsan, maghapon siyang nag-iikot.
Tapos makakarinig pa siya ng mga comment na wala siyang ginagawa, dahil lamang sa hindi siya naririnig sa radio o nakikita sa TV na ini-interview tungkol sa mga bagay na iyon.
Ang sabi ni Ate Vi, hindi naman sa radio o sa TV ang kanyang responsibilidad kundi sa mga mamamayan ng Batangas at nakikita siya ng mga tao mula umaga hanggang gabi simula nang magkaroon sila ng problema. Katunayan ang dahilan kung bakit hindi siya mahagilap sa kapitolyo. Kasi may mga desisyon kailangan gawin nang mabilisan sa mga lugar kung saan may problema kaya siya parating nasa labas.
Siya rin ang nangunguna ngayon sa pagbabaklas ng mga illegal na fish pens na sinasabing hindi maalis ng mga tauhan nila dahil ang mga may ari ay mga makapangyarihan din sa gobyerno. Masakit sabihin na pagkatapos ng mga ginawa at ginagawa niya, sinasabi pang hindi siya nagtratrabaho.
Thank you, Gov. Vi for making Batangas a better place to live in. You're one of a kind...keep up the good work. We, the people of Batangas ang siyang tunay na nakakaalam ng kagandahan ng inyong kalooban at husay ng pamamalakad sa ating probinsya.. I m proud to be a Batangueno and even prouder to have you as our governor.. God bless you po. At sa mga naninira sa inyo ng walang basehan...tseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! inggit ka lang nemesia at baka ang governor mo hindi mo pinakikinabangan..kurakot lang ang alam..
