How will we know if Bautista wasn't corrupt?

SHOOTING STRAIGHT - Bobit S. Avila - The Freeman

It is crystal clear that the Yellow cultists who genuflect to the Aquino Family continue to use whatever influence they have left to bring down the presidency of Pres. Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte, which is why they are using the issue of Extra Judicial Killings with their friends from the Human Rights Commission in the United Nations. Yet, I haven't heard a peep from the Yellows condemning what the Maute terrorists did in Marawi, which until now has not yet been fully liberated by the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

These Yellow cultists blindly follow the Aquino Family, whose last president was Pres. Benigno "PNoy" Aquino III who in his six years in power, never wore the Philippine Flag on his chest, but the Yellow ribbon that the Aquino Family used as their symbol, which we know was taken from the American symbol of a returning soldier who was missing for a while. For as long as those blind Aquino supporters still have political power, we will never see the Philippines move forward.

When the Liberal Party was in power and controlled by the Yellow Cult the nation did not move forward. It is a fact that top ranking police generals under the Aquino regime turned out to be "protectors" of drug lords. It is also a fact that during the six years of the Aquino regime, the menace of illegal drugs worsened and millions of Filipinos have been afflicted by this cancer in society.

Yet the Yellow Cult who uses the Human Rights issue with their friends abroad is the most vocal complainant against EJK. Ask yourself whether or not these people said anything against illegal drugs during the reign of Aquino the incompetent? No sir! If we have a huge problem on illegal drugs, the root of the problem is the silent acquiescence of then Pres. Aquino who did nothing against this problem during his reign.

Interestingly, the former president came into power during the first time that the Philippines used the automated election system in the 2010 elections. We have been questioning the results of that election because of an insignificant incident where electronic cheating was done in the Town of Compostela, which we wrote about extensively. Matters got worse in the 2013 midterm polls and in the 2017 presidential elections, it was totally surprising to us that the tail ender, DILG Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas ended up in second place to the very popular Pres. Duterte. It could only be the result of electronic dagdag-bawas, which was done under the leadership of Commission on Elections Chairman Andres Bautista.

No one dared investigate the 2017 presidential elections and the only time our hopes soared was at the height of the marital spat between Bautista and his wife Patricia, when she literally spilled the beans on the corruption of her husband. So there was no doubt that an impeachment against the Comelec chairman was in order.

But lo and behold, in a vote of 26-2, the House Committee on Justice a week ago dismissed the impeachment complaint against Bautista for insufficiency in form, then, as if on cue, Bautista hastily called a press conference to say he welcomed the dismissal of his impeachment case as it was proof that the allegations against him were "fabricated and baseless". How can the Comelec chairman say this in public when there really was no clear cut investigation on the allegations of his estranged wife?

How could 26 congressmen and women dismiss this impeachment case when the whole nation wanted to get to the bottom of Bautista's corruption as alleged by his wife? If you didn't know, in the House of Representatives PDP Laban has 113 representatives, NP has 33, NPC has 29, LP has 27, NUP has 23, UNA has 4, Lakas has 3, and LDP has 1. Surely these so-called "political elites" also want to find out whether Bautista's corruption is for real as what his wife Patricia has told the whole country?

In my book, the biggest corruption in this country is using illegal means like the Precinct Count Optical Scan machines to get into a position of power, which you did not get through a fair and honest election. This is probably why 26 congressmen voted to junk the impeachment complaint against Bautista!
