In total disregard for the ground rules set forth by the COMELEC for the 2022 Philippine national elections, Dutae's errand boy (Cusi) has the temerity to initiate this brazenly self-serving request in the first place. He has the shameless audacity to call the October 1 to 8 period for COC filing "unreasonable, unnecessary, and legally impossible." His statement that the COMELEC “cannot and should not” proceed with printing of ballots is completely out of line. And he has the gall to declare that his request is for the benefit of the electorate at large. Ubod ng kapal pero ganito talaga sina Dutae at ang kalahatan ng kanyang mga galamay.
This is the same PDP-Laban that initially fielded a gorilla (Bato) as its presidential candidate, which was withdrawn and followed by a chimpanzee (GaGo), which was also withdrawn. Similarly, PDP-Laban also floated the idea of Dutae as its vice presidential candidate, which elicited so much disgust that Dutae filed instead for a senatorial candidacy, which was also withdrawn. Clearly, Dutae and his stooges in PDP-Laban have been dicking around with the electoral process and, due to their stupidity and over-inflated sense of worth, have found themselves today in a position of a lame duck. Considering PDP-Laban's roots were established to fight the Marcos dictatorship, it is now a meaningless, irrelevant and splintered mess, much like anything associated with Dutae. Hence, this attempt to forcibly wedge themselves into the May 2022 elections to regain some political leverage should clearly NOT be permitted by the COMELEC. However, such a definitive and unequivocal decision by the COMELEC is wishful thinking at this time--much the same way it is wishful thinking, regardless of the definitive grounds under the Omnibus Election Code, that the COMELEC would disqualify BBM to run for any public office.
In spite of the prostituted institutions of the COMELEC and the Supreme Court, which are bound to unlawfully (a) grant the farcical request of the PDP-Laban and (b) permit BBM to run for public office, their perversions of the rule of law will ironically be the undoing of both the Duterte and Marcos dynasties. In simple terms, if PDP-Laban manages to field another presidential candidate that is presumably supported by Dutae et al, this johnny-come-lately will only split the votes of BBM, which would ensure the victory of Leni.
So I say to the whores in the COMELEC and the Supreme Court, spread your legs, extort as much bribes from Dutae and BBM, and let them have their way. In the end, the Filipinos who truly appreciate a responsible democracy will prevail with Leni as the next President.
On the other hand, the COMELEC and the Supreme Court could miraculously lean on the right side of history (i.e., reject the absurdities of PDP-Laban and disqualify BBM from running for any public office); however, this might be too high-minded for the proprietors of these brothels.
