Mob Rule

Posts from various Pro-Rule of Law pages on Facebook recently claim that on January 28, 2012, Penoy's Secretary of Social Welfare Dinky Soliman "met with members of the Black and White Movement at Unit 1110 Prestige Towers, to finalize plans of People Power starting Monday, January 30, at Supreme Court and EDSA to force CJ Corona to Resign".

If this report is accurate, then we have much to be fearful of. Penoy is using People Power as a "final solution" in his vain attempt to consolidate the powers of the Supreme Court with the Executive Department and his rubber stamp Congress. Penoy know he is losing the legal battle in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona. His allies in the prosecution panel have slipped at every turn to vilify Corona before the people. They must have realized that the more they vilify Corona, the more people view the Chief Justice as the underdog.

Now desperate in his attempt to be dictator, he has solicited the help of the ingrates from the Black & White movement to launch a "people power" offensive against the Chief Justice. Sadly, Penoy fails to realize that this will backfire on him as well. For all he knows, that same people power which he and his family so frequently use as their personal talisman could be used against him if he does not let up on his offensive against the judiciary and CJ Corona.

Penoy'd better hope that Dinky doesn't lead the group into singing "If we hold on together".

People are eagerly awaiting with bated breath if the CBCP would issue a statement with regards to the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona. The CBCP started their Three-Day Plenary Assembly last Saturday at the Pope Pius XII Center in Manila.

I was watching the trailer video of "Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story" on Youtube and i was inspired to write a poem about what is happening to our country today:

sa isang palasyo sa gitna ng maynila
may nakatirang isang taong tunay na balahura
nais sakupin ang lahat ng kayamana't kapangyarihan
pati karapatan ng tao'y nais na sagasaan

napapalibutan siya ng mga kaibigang ulupong
dahan dahang hinubog, ang plano nila ay umusbong
tanggalin lahat ng hadlang sa pagkamkam ng kapangyarihan
kahit na ang nais nila'y wala na sa katuwiran

dinadaan pa niya kuno sa ligal na proseso
unti unti ang mga kalaban niya ay kinalaboso
ang pumalag sa kanya, labis tiyak ay kakasuhan
ganyan ang utak ng ganid sa kapangyarihan

pati maliit na mamamayan ay kinakanti
akala nila'y malilinlang sa bawat sandali
ang mga tao, ngunit mga tao'y di paloloko
sa dilaw na pangulong anyo'y tila hunyango

naghahari-harian, nagdudunung-dunungan
pero kung titignan ninyo utak ay walang laman
puro pabida ang bigkas, puro papormang panlabas
ngunit ang takbo ng utak niya ay tunay na taliwas

sulsol ng kaibigan, kabarila't kamaganak
"nasa tama ka, huwag na huwag kang kukurap"
ngunit sigaw ng bayan 'di na pwedeng isantabi
nalalapit na ang pagbagsak ng dilaw na hari

magpakasaya ka na, dilaw na namumuno
dahil malapit na ang kaharian mo ay guguho
sa lakas ng dagundong ng sigaw ngtaong bayan
tanging lusot mo na lang, tiyak na kamatayan.
