Two Clowns Want to Toy with our Future

Come on, let us not fool ourselves. Like a hot potato, Mar Roxas was dropped by the Liberal Party as its presidential candidate (to the chagrin of Korina Sanchez) because he lacked even a haymaker chance of winning.

Noynoy Aquino too would not have been fielded in by the Liberals in Mar’s stead except that Cory Aquino died, thereby artificially and temporarily propping Noynoy do-nothing’s stock. But Mar and Noynoy
were cut from the same cloth, both were born with silver spoons on their mouths, thus cannot be expected to carry the cudgels for poor Filipinos.

Noynoy claims he won’t steal, but it’s not because he would not but because he doesn’t have the brain matter do even attempt stealing. He’s just too dumb for such a task. And he’s too malleable, to the
delight of the LP elders led by Jovito Salonga, who see in him a pupper president.

The Liberal Party sucks and so are Noynoy and Mar. Read on parts of this article written by a profound political analyst to see how rotten and opportunistic the Liberals are.

“The Liberals were on the verge of panic as they read the tea leaves of Pepe Miranda and Mahar Mangahas. Until Cory Aquino died, and a glint in the eye of the grieving Noynoy caught their attention. That
glint in the eye the Liberals have quickly turned into moist eyes for a presidency they covet in 2010.

“And so, groups allied with the LP’s like Black and White, along with a few columnists, turned up the heat on a still grieving family. Noynoy felt like a challenge was upon him, and there was a legacy of
leadership the burden of which he had to face.

“Meanwhile, Mar saw his support base in the LP quickly turn askance. Men who earlier cheered him with every padyak of his pedicab, and cried with him when he proposed marriage to Korina...

“Mar decided to cut his losses, and throw in the towel. But unlike the wily politician he never has become, Mar threw in the towel way too soon. A trapo would have first calculated the numbers, watched the
numbers of Noynoy appear in the cards, and then sit down for negotiations. That was how Don Manuel and his cautious son Gerry and Don Amading Araneta, Mar’s maternal lolo, would have played the game.

“But Mar Roxas must have felt like he was on sinking sand while facing the rush of a giant wave threatening to drown him forever. Potential moneybags want to test Noynoy’s appeal, and unlike Mar, they want to
see the numbers first. If Noynoy still hemmed and hawed, those numbers would not appear magical. So Mar had to go. He understood this as much as his confreres in the party and his fast diminishing "Friends of
Mar" did. To their panic, Mar felt depression.

“Even Noynoy was surprised by the suddenness of it all. He knew it was forthcoming, and the burdens it imposed upon him grew heavier by the day, but he did not expect the denouement all too soon. Whether it was because, like Chiz Escudero who bound himself to a birthday timeline (Chiz turns 40 on October 10 this year), Noynoy bound himself to a post 40-day grieving deadline.

What this tells, my fellow bloggers, is that what we have in Noynoy and Mar are too clowns who cannot decide for themselves and whose opinions and decisions are not even respected within their own party.
So, in effect, what Noynoy and Mar is offering is a pipe dream. Something which will not happen because they are not their own men. They cannot stand on their own feet. They do not have balls.

This is the very reason why Noynoy clings on the mom Cory and dad Ninoy’s perceived legacies, while Mar’s claim to fame is merely being a grandson of former President Manuel Roxas.

Now, why would we allow two clowns to toy around with our future?

Hollow MAR

Mar Roxas lies every time he says he’ll fight corruption in government, as well as all forms of shenanigans and scams in the private sector. For how can he be believed when he is married to Korina Sanchez?

So much for Mar’s anti-graft posturing on the NBN-ZTE issue and the fertilizer fund scam because he could not even make Korina account for the shady deals that had involved her. Can you expect Mar, a wimp of a husband, to crack the whip on Korina as senator or if, heaven forbids, he gets elected to a higher office?

Of course not. Mar may be the one wearing the pants, but it’s Korina who has the balls.

Before Mar married her, did he even ask Korina why ABS-CBN suspended her for one week, covering all her TV and radio programs, for “conflict of interest” and her moonlighting activities outside of the broadcast network?

Did Mar inquire on why the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) investigated Korina for involvement in the SwissFranc pyramiding scam as one of the celebrities who either made a killing or who lent their names in duping local investors of at least $1,000 each?

A lot of people had already filed complaints against SwissFrancs, but do we hear Mar Roxas saying that he supports their move to recover their money and to pursue criminal charges against the scam artists?

No. He is too afraid to tackle Korina, thus how can he be expected to stand up like a man in going after the corrupt. Let’s not forget that one needs only do nothing in the face of a wrong being done to be considered part and parcel of that wrongdoing or of a crime that had been committed.

Mar Roxas is full of talk, promises, but he simply lacks the spunk to act on his big words. He eats, breathes and sleeps press releases. Heis the hollow man.

Roxas is Drug Rirms’ Stooge

A drunk Mar Roxas was seen partying hard with executives of multinational drug firms right after the signing into law of his watered-down Cheaper Medicine Bill. Booze flowed and so did cheap women and, to Mar’s obvious delight, boy toys. “Suckers!” one in Mar’s group of drug execs shouted above the noise.

The fact is that Mar Roxas is guilty as hell in serving as a lackey of drug firms, which had mounted a multi-billion-peso lobby to kill Rep. Janette Guarin’s version of the law. If you remember, Congressman Teddy Boy Locsin cursed and nearly smacked the lobbyists of these drug firms who had the temerity to pass him a note on what questions to ask during a congressional hearing.

The lobbyist must have taken Locsin for Mar Roxas and paid dearly for it. Locsin is not a paid hack, but Mar? There’s no doubt about it.

Had Guarin’s version been passed, the prices of all medicines in the country would have been lowered by at least 50 percent, the prevailing overprice being rammed down our throats by the drug firm masters of Mar Roxas.

But no thanks to Mar Roxas, drug firms are only “requested” to lower prices in only 21 of the thousands of drug types they sell in the Philippines.

Never forget that it was Mar Roxas who killed that most important provision in Guarin’s version, which would have established a Drug Price Regulatory Board that would have set drug price limits on all, I repeat, all kinds of medicines.

Shame on Mar Roxas, who had also served the interest of other multinational firms in his stint at the Department of Trade and Industry, whereby he stymied local businesses that poised a threat to his foreigner bosses.

And this guy is running for vice president?! We’re f..ked!
