A novel 2013 political game plan?

QUEZON CITY  –  “It is more appropriate to say - - Buying the Peace, Preparing for War and the 2013 elections!” said ANAD Rep. Jun Alcover as he revealed a meticulously laid out and novel 2013 political game plan by some wise guys lurking in the pedestal of executive power and authority to bolster their grip and influence in public office.

In his privilege speech during Congress’ plenary yesterday (November 14) Rep. Alcover expressed sadness on the seeming weak and vacillating PNoy leadership amidst the carnage perpetrated by the lawless elements of the MILF resulting in the death of about 40 military officers and soldiers, civilian rubber plantation workers in Al-Barka and Sumisip Basilan; in the towns of Alicia and Guintulan, all in Zamboanga Sibugay; and in Barangay Payong, Sultan Naga Dimaporo, in Lanao del Norte, last month.

“The national leadership’s anemic, vacillating, and condemnable response in the statements made by President Aquino III’s alter ego in Malacañang, caused more pain and hurt,” he said as he lamented the President’s “all-out-justice” order as contemptuous only to appease the demoralization sipping among the ranks of the military and other government security forces after PNoy sacked some military officers from their posts after expressing their respective personal opinions to media.

Rep. Alcover cited Malacañang’s wavering stand on the P5 million, in check, to the MILF purportedly for the construction of a Bangsamoro Islamic Leadership and Management Institute training center; and the controversial P31 M government assistance to the RPMP-ABB that Malacañang said were approved during the previous administrations of then Presidents Arroyo and Estrada, respectively. “When howls of disgust and criticisms were hurled against it, they stonewalled and defended the move saying it was in fulfillment of earlier agreement. . . . . (This is) evidence on the propensity of this administration to blame the past administrations for the blunders and failure they themselves committed,” he added.

However, the ANAD solon revealed that highly reliable sources told him that all of these are being manipulated at will by cliques who, at the moment, maintain strong connections directly to and have the confidence of President Aquino III. “These are sequels of a grandiose political plan leading to the 2013 elections. The dole-outs, both to the MILF and the RPMP-ABB are reportedly to strengthen the current administrations hold on the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (ARMM); and the Socialist Partylist - - Akbayan, with the Maoist communist pseudo partylist groups maintaining their grip, if not increasing its presence, in the pedestals of power and authority,” he added.
