MS VALTE: WE NEED PNOY'S ACTION, NOT JUST VISION!

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte says President Aquino has a vision for the country.

Doesn’t everybody? Don’t tell me she doesn’t have one herself.

A vision is NOT ENOUGH. What’s MORE IMPORTANT, what the people need, is action.

SOLUTIONS, long-lasting solutions, to the country’s major problems, not to his UNENDING quest for political vengeance and media mileage through FAULT-FINDING.

As early as his campaign for the presidency, Pnoy’s battlecry has been his anti-corruption initiative.

But think about these, boys and girls:

JUETENG, which everybody knows is one of THE BIGGEST sources of MILLIONS of bribes for corrupti politicians and police officials, REMAINS UNTOUCHABLE.

Since Pnoy took office more than a year ago, NOT EVEN ONE jueteng lord has been arrested or charged. Not even one WIDESCALE CRACKDOWN on jueteng has been launched.

Pnoy was even reported once as having said jueteng was not among his priorities.

His known kabarkada and kabarilan. Interior and Local Government Undersecretary Rico Puno, was accused once of receiving jueteng bribes. But Pnoy DID NOT even order an investigation into it.

Instead, Pnoy MMEDIATELY and PERSONALLY cleared Puno of any wrongdoing.

Another kabarkada and kabarilan, Land Transportation Office chief Virginia Torres, was accused of improper actions A Department of Justice (DOJ) panel recommended that charges be filed against her.

Again, Pnoy DID NOTHING. Torres is back at her post.

As I’ve noted before in earlier blogs, Pnoy once pointed to dilapidated and poorly stocked government hospitals and heatlh facilities for the poor. But when he became president, the budget for these WAS REDUCED by as much as 40 PERCENT.

Two favorite words of Pnot since he became president are truth and justice.

But after more than 20 years, the killers behind the Mendiola massacre of protesting farmers when his mother Cory was president REMAIN FREE.

Same thing with the gunmen who MASSACRED protesting farmers at Hacienda Luisita some 10 years or so ago. And in both cases, Pnoy has DONE NOTHING to identify and arrest the killers.

Pnoy announced in his anniversary address as President that 2,000 kilometers of farm-to-market roads have been built under his Administration.

But up to now, NOTHING SPECIFIC is known about these supposed roads – location, beneficiaries, cost, conractor, etc.

Need I say more, guys?, Think hard, think VERY HARD, of everything I’ve said. 30
