COMELEC is all set for a Narcos and Duts victory

Lutong Makaw ang May 2022 Elections

For starters, the recent Ferolino fiasco to delay the 1st Division decision on the case against Narcos, if only to disregard the vote associated with the decision of retiring Commissioner Guanzon and to eventually reinforce the bogus "validity" of her (1st Division) decision to junk the case against Narcos, is a portent of the COMELEC's machinations of the results of the May 2022 elections. In the first place, the Marcos family should never have been allowed to return to the Philippines, other than to be publicly executed for plunder (i.e., capital punishment was in effect under Philippine law when they committed plunder)--much less for any member of the family to be permitted to run for any public office.

With the recent retirement of Commissioner Guanzon, among other commissioners, the entire slate of COMELEC commissioners today are all appointees of Dutae--the current slate of justices at the Supreme Court is nearly as bleak. This is just in time to orchestrate the wholesale cheating of the May 2022 national elections in favor Narcos and Duts--reminiscent of the shameless and fraudulent election results rammed down the throats of the people during the Marcos dictatorship.

The mediocre and dubious backgrounds of the newest appointees merely reinforce the pending GRAND THEFT of votes against the Filipino people by the COMELEC. Among the newest appointees as of March 8 (2022) is Pangarungan, who was the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) chair since July 9, 2018 and former governor of Lanao del Sur from 1988 to 1992. Aside from these two government positions he held, he has no recorded experience of working in the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). He is Duterte’s schoolmate from San Beda College.

In 2020, Pangarungan along with two other NCMF officials was accused by his colleague, commissioner Abubakar Mangelen, of “unlawful refusal and/or delay to perform their ministerial duties”, according to a report by Abante.

Appointed with Pangarungan are George Garcia and Aimee Neri as COMELEC commissioners.

George Garcia was the lawyer of presidential candidate and dictator’s namesake Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in his electoral protest to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET). Notwithstanding Garcia's statement that he would inhibit from cases involving his former clients, his appointment is a brazen "in your face and fuck you all" statement of Dutae to "fix" the election results in favor of Narcos and Duts.

And speaking of "fixers," Neri was accused of pocketing P3 million of the P10 million given to her by convicted drug lord Herbert Colanggo to "fix" a robbery case before the Supreme Court.

In short, sa dami ng pagpipilian, ang pinili ni Dutae ay very low-quality and very low-integrity individuals (sa madaling salita, mga tuta ni Dutae, straight out of the playbook of Marcos) to an institution that is supposed to uphold the integrity of the elections. How typical of Dutae appointees/stooges, who are ready, willing and bribable to do the bidding of the highest-paying patron.

Adding insult to injury, after Narcos and Duts were caught hauling and buying voters at their campaign rallies, Ferolino (the same Ferolino that junked the case against BBM) is assigned to head Task Force Kontra Bigay, an interagency team to tackle vote buying. Of course, everyone knows that a "task force" or "interagency team"--particularly in government--is bureaucratic speak for finger-pointing, zero accountability and no resolution on the issue at hand. Hence, in the same way that Ferolino (a) dribbled the case against Narcos while Commissioner Guanzon was not yet retired and (b) eventually permitted Narcos to run for the presidency (i.e., a brazen disregard for the rules of the COMELEC), she will likewise dribble the "task force" to its logical non-resolution until the COMELEC maneuvers the fraudulent victory of Narcos and Duts--in spite of the damning evidence (see videos below) that is common knowledge and par for the course during the Marcos dictatorship and during the campaign of Narcos and Duts today.

Hakot ni BBM sa Nueva Ecija

Bayaran ni BBM sa Nueva Ecija

Even the belated (ilang araw din ang lumipas bago naisip ang palusot) claim of Nueva Ecija Governor Umali that the P500 envelopes given after the rally of Narcos and Duts was "ayuda" is such a shameless preposterous lie (i.e., if this was really "ayuda," Umali should have also handed-out P500 envelopes after the rally of Leni and Kiko, which obviously did NOT happen) that the candidacy of Narcos, Duts and Umali himself ought to be cancelled immediately; that is, if Ferolino actually did her job. Fat chance with Ferolino, among the other whores, at the COMELEC.

Bayaran ni BBM sa Bulacan

Bayaran ni BBM sa Tarlac

Bayaran ni BBM sa Cavite. Sino nga naman ang pupunta sa rally ninyo kung wala kayong ibibigay na pera? A brazen violation of the rules of the COMELEC. Ano kaya ang gagawin ni Ferolino at ng kanyang "task force/interagency team?" Siyempre, dribble . . . dribble . . . dribble . . . until kingdom come hanggang sa malimutan na ng taong bayan.

Gadon Rant 1

Gadon Rant 2

Consider the above vulgar rants of Gadon, a senatorial candidate under Narcos and Duts. This is the height of moral turpitude and these videos are more than enough basis to cancel his candidacy. Yet, not a whiff of enforcement by the COMELEC. How many more of these disgusting and unacceptable outbursts will the COMELEC dribble before cancelling this asshole?

Instead, the COMELEC sounds the alarm over COVID-19 protocol violations in campaign sorties. Nakakahalata ka na ba? Palibhasa si Leni at Kiko ang nagwawagi ng pinakamalawak na suporta sa kanilang campaign sorties and rallies all over the country (habang nilalangaw sina Narcos at Duts), ito ngayon ang pag-iinitan ng COMELEC.

Recently, the DOJ claims to be pushing the Bureau of Internal Revenue to collect the unpaid ₱203 billion-estate taxes of the Marcos heirs to generate more revenue for the government. Considering this issue has been festering for over 20 years, there should already have been a criminal case filed at and decided by the courts, including a conviction of Narcos, which would also be another basis to disallow him to run for any public office. The fact is, the DOJ, the BIR, the Dutae Administration et al are deliberately dribbling the filing of the criminal case against Narcos, when it is particularly imperative to do so yesterday. It's all part of the grand plan to make Narcos win the presidency.

Even the ever-loyal lapdog of Dutae, DOE Secretary Cusi, is playing his role in the pending grand heist of votes by disregarding forecasts of slim supply margins and possible power outages during the May 2022 elections--remember the 7-hour "blackout" of servers in the last senatorial elections. In the news article dated April 2, 2022 (at the eleventh hour of the May 2022 elections), the DOE readies plan for outages during election period. The all too typical government reaction (i.e., too little, too late), which is just another convenient scenario under which the COMELEC can conveniently maneuver the cheating of the national elections in May 2022.

The reason Dutae keeps declaring that he is NOT endorsing any presidential candidate is self-evident. The results in favor of Narcos and Duts are already as good as signed, sealed and delivered by the COMELEC. Dutae does not have to do anything today and it's a done deal.

Bottom line is, watch out folks for the latest and greatest election fraud that is going to be committed by our very own COMELEC officials, whose salaries are paid by our taxes and who are bribed many times over by Narcos and Duts. Get ready for the next revolution! And this time, it's going to get downright deadly.

Time for Lacson et al to quit and support Leni

Based on the early discussion of Leni Robredo with Ping Lacson (prior to filing their candidacy for the presidency), Lacson suggested that all potential opposition bets file their COCs, then agree on a specific time to observe who among themselves performed the best in surveys. The rest of the candidates would then have to withdraw their candidacies in favor of the “best” contender.

Although the so-called "opposition bets" did not actually agree on the above suggestion of Lacson, the fact remains that, as of today and the remaining period before the May 9, 2022 elections, the best contender to ensure the defeat of Narcos is Leni Robredo. If there is any iota of patriotism left in Lacson, Pacman and Isko, they should all just fall in line with Leni and Kiko--if only to defeat the evil and diabolical alliance of Narcos and Duts.

On March 24, 2022, Lacson had to resign as the Chairman of the Partido Reporma, which is now endorsing Leni. He also failed to get the endorsement of the party of his running mate, Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) chairman Senator Vicente Sotto III. Lacson has been frank about his chances of winning in 2022, flatly polling at single-digit percentages in presidential polls. While he doubted surveys, he also explained that the electorate “may not be ready” for his candidacy. Not surprisingly, senatorial candidate Monsour del Rosario immediately shifted his support from Lacson to Leni.

I'm sure Lacson has already amassed a nice chunk of change from fund-raising for his campaign. Hindi ka pa ba kontento sa retirement package mo? Gawin mo na lang yung tama and support Leni and Kiko going forward so that we can defeat Narcos and Duts--whose political existence are sustained solely by the fruits of plunder.

Ito naman si Pacman ay nagtatapon ng kanyang pinaghirapan na kayamanan para sa wala. Alam naman ng tao na sinsero ka pero talagang kulang ang kakayahan bilang presidente ng Pilipinas.

In his recent sorties in Cauayan, Isabela (March 23, 2022), Pacquiao told reporters, “Pag ganoon siguro mga tao, lalong-lalo na mga mayayaman, baka hindi na ako tatakbo. Ang aking misyon ay makita ko na tinutulungan ang mga maliliit na tao (If people were like her, especially the rich, I would not be running now. My mission is to see to it that lesser fortunate people get help).” Kaya naman gawin mo na rin yung tama. Huwag mo nang ilustay yung kayamanan mo and support Leni and Kiko going forward so that we can defeat Narcos and Duts.

Ito naman si Isko ay lumalabas sa kampanya ang kanyang tunay na anyong putang lalaki (magaling na macho dancer talaga si Isko) at pinaninindigan pa ng kapwa putang babae na si Mocha Uson. Puro bayaran na nga si Dutae at ang kanyang mga galamay sa Malacanang, tapos ito ay magiging bayarang putahan pag nandiyan si Isko. I would not put it past Isko to extort money from Narcos in exchange for NOT quitting his campaign solely for the purpose of "stealing" votes from Leni. That's how low this toyboy can go.

One of the critical (albeit behind the scene) supporters of Isko, tycoon Enrique Razon, has just openly endorsed Narcos. Huwag mo nang gastusin yung campaign contribution ni Mr. Razon et al. Retirement package mo na iyan. Gawin mo na rin yung tama and support Leni and Kiko going forward so that we can defeat Narcos and Duts.

Hello, in case you haven't noticed, the primary goal is to defeat Narcos and Duts with Leni and Kiko; otherwise, it's political dynasties forever in the Philippines and the complete and utter enslavement of the Filipino people.

Dutae wasting our taxes for the nth time

The Philippines signed a 32 billion-peso ($624 million) deal Tuesday (Feburary 22, 2022) to purchase 32 Black Hawk helicopters in the largest military aircraft acquisition contract under outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte, defense officials said.

I refer to the above news article regarding the Philippine government's purchase of 32 Black Hawk helicopters just a few months before the country is finally rid of Dutae. Apart from the fact that the Philippines can ill afford to purchase such military aircrafts at this particular time when the national debt has gone totally out of control during the thoroughly inept and utterly corrupt administration of Dutae, the said purchase amount of US$624 million could have been (and could still be) utilized more prudently by the Philippine Armed Forces (PAF).

If the deal is really done, then I would not presume to cancel the same if only to reinforce the sanctity of contracts under Philippine law, regardless of its imprudence and wastefulness--which is really the fault of the Filipinos for voting a corrupt idiot like Dutae. To the extent that the deal can be amended or, more particularly, deferred to extend the delivery period of (and corresponding payments for) the 32 Black Hawk helicopters, then I would highly recommend this course of action to the next administration. In addition, going forward, I would also recommend a significantly less expensive option for the PAF that would substantially fulfill (or even surpass) the missions and objectives of the 32 Black Hawk helicopters--which appear to be on top of the 16 Black Hawk helicopters (with a price tag of US$241 million or a unit cost of US$15 million) previously acquired by the Philippine government or a total of 48 Black Hawk helicopters (minus 1 Black Hawk helicopter that already crashed in June 2021).

Sikorsky S-70i Black Hawk

To wit, US$624 million for 32 Black Hawk helicopters translates to US$19.5 million per unit. In contrast, a "comparable" fixed-wing aircraft, the Cessna Skycourier Freighter, was recently purchased by FedEx (a total of 50 units) at US$6.85 million per unit. Hence, if the Philippine government purchased 32 Cessna Skycourier Freighters today, the total cost would be US$219.2 million or about 35% (or just a little over 1/3) of the total cost incurred for the 32 Black Hawk helicopters.

Cessna Skycourier Freighter

Of course, a civilian fixed-winged freighter aircraft is a distinctly different flying machine than a military helicopter. For one thing, the Cessna Skycourier Freighter does NOT have the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability of the Black Hawk helicopter. It also does NOT have the light armor of the Black Hawk that is designed to provide some protection from artillery fire. However, in light of the fact that the PAF has used its old Huey helicopters and will use its new Black Hawk helicopters mostly for disaster relief operations (i.e., in the absence of artillery fire), the VTOL capability and the light armor of the Black Hawk are, for the most part, NOT necessary.

On the other hand, if we forego the VTOL capability and the light armor of the Black Hawk, the Cessna Skycourier Freighter can fulfill disaster relief missions faster and over longer distances. This includes more than double the cabin volume of the Black Hawk and, correspondingly, more than double the internal payload of the Black Hawk. While the "sling load" or external payload of the Black Hawk is indeed exceptional at 4,100 kg, this utility-feature has NOT been utilized extensively by the PAF in either disaster relief or combat operations and, therefore, does NOT diminish the disaster relief capabilities of the Cessna Skycourier Freighter where they really matter (i.e., speed, range and internal payload). It is also a fact that helicopters require far more maintenance per flying hour than a comparable fixed-wing aircraft.

The following table compares certain relevant specifications of the S-70i Black Hawk Helicopter and the Cessna Skycourier Freighter Fixed-Wing Aircraft. Note that I selected the Cessna Skycourier due to its "comparability" to the Black Hawk. However, the PAF can attest to even greater economies of scale and overall cost savings on disaster relief operations with the use of larger freighter aircrafts (e.g., the Airbus C-295M medium transport aircraft and the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules) already in the possession of the PAF.

Relevant Specifications	S-70i Black Hawk	Cessna Skycourier Freighter
Price Tag per unit	US$19.5 million	US$6.85 million
Max Cruise Speed	296 km/h	389 km/h
Max Range	459 km	1,741 km
Max Operating Altitude	6,096 m	7,620 m
Passenger Configuration	2 crew + 13 passengers	1 pilot + 19 passengers
Cabin Volume	11.22 m3	25.03 m3
Max Internal Payload	1,200 kg	2,722 kg
Max External Payload	4,100 kg (sling load)	NA
Takeoff Distance	NA, VTOL	923 m

Airbus C-295M medium transport aircraft

In short, the purchase of 48 Black Hawk helicopters during the Dutae Administration (1 of which crashed shortly after its delivery to the PAF, just like a newly-delivered C-130 aircraft crashed a few weeks after the crash of the Black Hawk--a clear indication of the poor training of PAF personnel pissing away our taxes) is an excessive, wasteful and imprudent use of our taxes, particularly in light of the fact (which should be common knowledge among PAF personnel) that there is an abundance of existing airstrips throughout the Philippine archipelago (see illustrations below) that could be upgraded for multiple purposes (disaster relief, tourism access, rainwater collection, palay drying, among other things) using the excess funds--if only the PAF and the Philippine government decided prudently on the most appropriate aircrafts for disaster relief.

The following illustrations of airports, airstrips and airfields throughout the Philippine archipelago indicate very good (perhaps even exceptional) penetration for disaster relief operations in virtually all areas of the country using fixed-wing aircrafts--provided all of the airstrips and airfields (and road access thereto) are upgraded, which could have been done without any need for additional funding if the PAF and the Philippine government did NOT waste our taxes on the 32 Black Hawk helicopters.

In the above hypothetical example of purchasing 32 Cessna Skycouriers (instead of 32 Black Hawks), the Philippine government would have had excess funds of US$404.8 million to invest in and upgrade over 200 airstrips (at US$2 million per airstrip with a 1 km long by 18 m wide concrete tarmac) all over the country to enable all of the disaster relief aircrafts of the PAF (including the Airbus C-295M medium transport aircraft and the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules) to have substantial access to virtually all areas of the Philippines with little or no need for expensive Black Hawk helicopters. Apart from creating many construction and related jobs all over the country, these upgraded airstrips would also dramatically improve access of tourists to many remote and exceptional tourist spots in the country--not to mention the ability of concrete airstrips to serve as rainwater collectors in the rainy season and as palay dryers after harvests for the local community.

Incidentally, why is there such a substantial increase in price per unit of the second batch of 32 Black Hawk helicopters (US$19.5 million) in contrast to the first batch of 16 Black Hawk helicopters (US$15 million). Intuitively, the price per unit of the second batch should be lower due to the 100% increase in the number of units purchased--a volume discount, if you will. Mukhang na-Pharmally na naman ang taong-bayan sa pagbili ng 32 Black Hawk helicopters.

With respect to the old Huey helicopters being retired by the PAF, Lieutenant Colonel Mariano said that the UH-1D choppers would be stored by the PAF: “They will be in storage. That’s why it happened in Clark because the 410th Maintenance Wing will be putting them in storage.” The Air Force spokesperson added that the retired Hueys will not be sold since they were donated to the military. This sounds like another convoluted line of reasoning of the Philippine government (i.e., Hueys will not be sold because they were donated--presumably by the United States government) and looks like another anomaly waiting to happen. The PAF should have the initiative to request the United States government to waive whatever condition it imposed on the sale of the Hueys upon their retirement, so that the proceeds of the sale (however nominal) can be redeployed productively. Even a retired Huey for static display can be sold for US$30,000. At least some of the old Hueys retired by the PAF can still be restored to airworthiness and therefore can be sold for US$100,000 or more per unit.

The following advertisement for an entire fleet of retired Hueys is being sold by the Royal Air Force of New Zealand. The PAF should do the same thing and get some proceeds for its retired Hueys instead of just storing these machines in a hangar--which will really be cannibalized surreptitiously for spares and scrap with proceeds pocketed by corrupt PAF personnel.
