"WAKE-UP Commentary - The Birth of CAOPI (Coalition Against Oil Price Increases)

THE BIRTH OF
CAOPI
(Coalition Against Oil Price Increases)

March 26, 2012 - UP Diliman, QC




P-NOY’s perceived “INACTION”  . . . .  

 A Betrayal of Public Trust?

Impeachable or Not?






 “WAKE-UP” Commentary

Ka Leon Estrella Peralta
"WAKE-UP" Commentary\on the
launching of CAOPI (Coalition
Against Oil Price Increases)


The ANTI-TRAPO MOVEMENT of the Philippines has joined CAOPI on the angle of our belief, that there seem to exist an alleged “anomalous conspiracy” between MALACANANG and the BIG OIL PLAYERS.  The dismal perceived “inaction” of Malacanang and its alter ego, the Department of Energy (DOE), to address the urgent pressing problem of excessive oil prices could possibly be construed by the “PEOPLE” as an apparent solid evidence of the “POLITICAL ILL-WILL”?? (Please see below author’s meaning and description/s) exorbitantly displayed by the current administration.  Malacanang’s public admission that they could not do anything to lower down the aforesaid excessive oil prices could perhaps be interpreted by the “PEOPLE” as a seeming admission of guilt by P-NOY of his own version of “Betrayal of Public Trust.”  To relate to the foregoing, let me borrow the words of Retired Justice Isagani Cruz, in his opinion, about “Betrayal of Public Trust” which I found to be relative to the aforesaid Malacanang perceived “inaction”; and “Admission.” According to Retired Justice Cruz, “ ‘Betrayal of Public Trust’ is a catch-all ground which would make any act unbecoming of a public official such as abuse of authority or neglect of duty, an impeachable offense even though such acts aren’t crimes.”
Whether or not it’s deliberate??? P-Noy’s perceived “inaction”, to reiterate, could be probably adjudged by the “PEOPLE JUDGES” in the Court of Public Opinion as an act unbecoming of a public official.
PUBLIC OFFICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST! Every public official and employee is mandated to serve the public with utmost integrity, dignity, honesty, skills, intelligence and the like.  From the smallest public employee to no less than the President of the Republic of the Philippines, are expected to stringently adhere to the said public service principle and maxim.  The President, being the highest public official of the land, is stringently accountable to the “PEOPLE” and by virtue of his apparent perceived “INACTION” on the urgent pressing problem of excessive oil prices to the point of putting the “PEOPLE” whom he proclaimed and acclaimed to be his “BOSSES” to the brink of financial crunch needs to be assailed by no less than his “BOSSES”, the “PEOPLE.”

IN view of the foregoing  . . . Will the “PEOPLE” resort to IMPEACHMENT?


HIS “BOSSES” SHALL DECIDE!!!


SOONER???     OR      LATER???

P-NOY's "Political Ill-Will" Exposed???, "PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN", March 15, 2012


COMMENTARY


P-NOY’s
*“POLITICAL  ILL-WILL”
EXPOSED??? 



“KAYO ANG BOSS KO!”
“Political Reality”? or “Political Myth”?




 “PROTESTA
NG
   MAMAMAYAN”

March 15, 2012


Ka Leon Estrella Peralta, Founding Chairman with Ka George San Mateo, President-PISTON taken on
March 15, 2012 during "Protesta Ng Mameamayan" in Quezon City Memorial Circle, Elliptical Road, QC

We actually know it’s a long hard climb to extensively reduce the prices of petroleum and petroleum products, electricity, water, and other basic commodities due to existing pertinent laws attached and applicable to the aforesaid like, the Oil Deregulation Law, E-VAT Law; EPIRA Law and other related laws.  These said “LAWS” created the “MONSTER of EXORBITANT PRICES” that financially affected the “PEOPLE.”  “We” 
likewise, fully understand that the said “MONSTER” was created by the “Political Ill-Will” (Please see below author’s definition and description/s) of the past administrations and not by P-NOY.

Relative to the above, the recent “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN” against successive price hikes on petroleum and petroleum products apparently, fell on deaf ears on the “NOT SO NEW” OCCUPANT/S of Malacanang.  They even wrongly (intentional or unintentional), perceived and presented to the Public the said “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN” as a mere transport strike initiated by “PISTON.” Consequently, through Secretary Lacierda in his press conference on national television apparently, belittled “PISTON” for failing to paralyze the transportation in Metro Manila.  Seemingly, P-NOY and his “Bright Boys” are unattached on the real score of that day (March 15, 2012).  For truly, it was a “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN” and absolutely not a TRANSPORT STRIKE; And “PISTON” as its main role and contribution to the said “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN”, has self-tasked to initiate the “TRANSPORT CARAVAN” which started in Quezon City Memorial Circle and traveled to Makati City to highlight and bring the “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN” right at the doorstep of the “BIG 3 OIL PLAYERS.”

Whether or not, it’s a “TRANSPORT STRIKE” or “TRANSPORT CARAVAN” or “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN”; and whether it was successful or not, was non-issue.  By and Large, it’s the “PEOPLE” through their respective “People’s Organizations” who were in fact protesting; and belittling the same by Malacanang also belittles their sensitivity to the  “PROTESTING VOICES” of the “PEOPLE”, whom P-NOY proudly and publicly acclaimed and declared as his “BOSSES.”  Hence, due to the foregoing, P-NOY’s Political “Ill-Will” about the said social issue on petroleum was consequently and constructively “EXPOSED” by Secretary Lacierda’s aforesaid “uncalled for” public pronouncement in his said press conference.  What actually the “PEOPLE” expected from Malacanang is a soothing message of assurance that they loudly heard and is considering the “PROTESTING VOICES” of the “PEOPLE.” To belittle the protesting efforts of “PISTON”, a part and parcel of the “PROTESTA NG MAMAMAYAN” is to belittle the whole mass protest; and is tantamount to the trampling of the democratic framework guaranteed and embodied in  our Constitution.


“Kanino pa po ba hihingi ng tulong ang taumbayan? Kung di sa inyong mga taga Malacanang!”

“Ang Taumbayan lalong-lalo na ang masa ay
                   naghintay ng tunay na pagbabago hindi
lamang sa pagsugpo ng kurapsyon kung di
                   sa pagsugpo rin ng mga kadahilanan ng kahirapan
                   dito sa ating bayan.”


P-NOY’s administration must put a stop to the crippling price hikes of petroleum and petroleum products, electricity, water, and all other Basic
Commodities and to extensively reduce the prices of the same to a “Socially Economic Curable Level” (Please see below author’s definition and description/s).

The “Political Will” of P-NOY’s administration relevant to fighting and eliminating “POVERTY” must be seen and felt now by the “PEOPLE”; with the same vigor and intensity as to what they had/have witnessed in jailing the “Arroyos” and their cohorts and to have Chief Justice Corona impeached by P-Noy’s allies in the “House.”  Otherwise, the gained victory of the “PEOPLE” against the said erring Public Officials will be a VICTORY NO MORE . . . .  For the “PEOPLE” is now suffering from extensive financial crunch.  The “MONSTER OF  EXORBITANT PRICES” must be dealt with head-on by P-NOY, by urging his allies in the “House” to junk, repeal or amend all the pertinent “LAWS” that created the said “MONSTER”; As fast as he urged them to have C.J. Corona impeached.

The “MONSTER OF EXORBITANT PRICES” created by the previous administrations is very much alive and much stronger than before in P-NOY’s administration; and must be “EXTINGUISHED” by P-NOY to the BEST INTEREST OF THE “PEOPLE”, whom he acclaimed and addressed as his “BOSSES.”

“SOCIAL ECONOMIC CURABLE LEVEL” – downgraded prices of petroleum and petroleum products, electricity, water and all basic commodities that would bring about the upliftment of the Social Economic standing of the “masses in general” which, if implemented, would initially narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and ultimately create a DRAGON MIDDLE CLASS. Specifically, this will bring about to the “MASSES IN GENERAL”: enough money to spend for all their basic necessities, enough money for their desired education, and enough savings for future capitalization to be able to engage in small business without resorting to “Loan Shark” financing.

COMMENTARY AND SOLIDARITY STATEMENT IN A FORUM ENTITLED "HIGHEST POWER RATES IN ASIA"




Sa Mataas Na Presyo
 Ng Kuryente,

MADILIM ANG BUKAS . . .
DITO SA ATING BAYAN . . .   




            The ANTI-TRAPO MOVEMENT of the Philippines, through the undersigned had been invited to attend and participate in a forum entitled “HIGHEST POWER RATES IN ASIA!” A LABOR-BUSINESS CONSULTATION ON ELECTRICITY.”  The resource speakers were excellent in the topics they discussed in the persons of MR. ARNOLD PADILLA, Public Information Officer, BAYAN, who eloquently discussed the “Causes of and Possible Solutions to the High Electricity Rates; MR. FERNANDO MARTINEZ, Economist, CEO, Eastern Petroleum Companies Association (IPPCA) who superbly discussed the “ODIUS Policies Leading to High Electricity Rates.” The other resource speakers in the persons of MR. ROGER SOLUTA, Secretary General KMU, MR. SAMMY T. MALUNES, Vice-President for Federation Affairs, KMU ,  and Honorable ATTY. RAMON TE, Councilor-Ist District of Caloocan City, MAKABAYAN Party, VP for Luzon had authoritatively answered the different questions highlighted during the open forum. The thought provoking questions and statements made by Congressman Joel Maglungsod, ANAKPAWIS Partylist and Mr. George San Mateo, President- PISTON had added to concrete the convictions of all the attendees to closely work together in a “coalition” with the sole objective of lowering down the EXORBITANT POWER RATES IN OUR COUNTRY WHICH CONTINUOUSLY CRIPPLED THE ENTIRE FILIPINO PEOPLE specifically those belonging in the business sector and the labor sector.

          Relative to the just concluded forum, we could conclude that, “SA MATAAS NA PRESYO NG KURYENTE, MADILIM ANG BUKAS NATIN . . .  DITO SA ATING BAYAN . . .

                                  
 DAPAT LANG MALAMAN NG TAUMBAYAN NGAYON
 ANG MGA DAHILAN NITO AT MGA POSIBLENG SOLUSYON UPANG
MAPABABA ANG SOBRANG TAAS NG PRESYO NG ELEKTRISIDAD
DITO SA ATING BAYAN. BASAHIN ANG MGA ITO SA PAG-AARAL
NA GINAWA NI GNG. ARNOLD PADILLA AT NI GNG. FERNANDO
MARTINEZ NA NAKALAKIP DITO.

SA AMING PAG-AARAL TUNGKOL DITO, LUMALABAS NA
SA BAWAT ANTAS NG PAGTATAAS NG PRESYO NG ELEKTRISIDAD,
MAGMULA NOON, AY NANDOON ANG “KURAPSYON” NA GAWA
NG MARURUMING ELEMENTO NG ATING LIPUNAN”. DAPAT
LANG ITONG IMBESTIGAHAN AT KASUHAN ANG MGA TAONG
NAGKAMAL AT PATULOY NA NAGKAKAMAL NG SALAPI SA WALANG
HUMPAY NA PAGTAAS NG ELEKTRISIDAD DITO SA ATING BAYAN NA
PUMIPILAY SA NGAYON SA TAUMBAYAN.


The ANTI-TRAPO MOVEMENT of the Philippines, as an anti graft and corruption group  is committed to prosecute those people who have chosen to unjustly enrich themselves that resulted to the exorbitant electricity rates which consequently have been crippling the entire Filipino people.


. . . . IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE  AND TRUE SOCIAL ECONOMIC REFORMS MUST ROLL NOW!!!


RISE UP AND BE COUNTED!!!
