Hole of Justice
By Peter G. JimeneaGuess Who?
SHE - A ranking regional official of CHED in Region 6 was reprimanded by the lawyer-chief of the CHED legal division in Manila for her delayed answering of the phone-in question. The question is simple; “Is the Comprehensive Enhancement Program for the graduating nursing student in UI-PHINMA a school curriculum?” Eventually, she said no! Who is this corrupt official?
The source further disclosed the frequent going out of the country by this lady started after she had a done-deal with a book supplier from Manila. Unfortunately, the books are used only for supplemental reading. She is not the only school division superintendent in this deal but a lot of them. Who is she?
HE… the Iloilo City Hall division chief with salary grade 22 was recently promoted by the mayor to a new position. This division chief willingly accepted the promotion. He is now a secretary to the taskforce chief with salary grade 15. By golly, where is logic in this promotion?
The new appointment is not promotion but demotion. This poor guy has become another willing victim of the mayor by animus abducendi – the intention of leading away, or inducing a person or a minor to abandon his home. Acquiesence is not always good and who is this obedient man?
THEY… a group of city councilors are preparing for an official tour to New York and to other parts of the world. The good news (kuno) is they will be travelling at their own expense. What a falsa descripto – a false description of a city council full of rich members.
A city hall employee retorted that a lot of these legislators don’t have the money for that purpose and they only availed themselves of the wrong remedy – the emerging issue towards that new P290M loan for upgrading of the city hall under construction.
There are enough reasons for the people to suspect as the additional loan of P290M was passed during the Holy Week and was immediately approved by majority of the city councilors acting like passengers catching the last plane out!
There had been so many justifications by self-proclaimed experts re: this additional P290M loan. But I cannot forget the repeated pompous announcement of the former city mayor that a P350M is enough to complete the construction of the Iloilo City Hall building. Who is this liar?
I cannot blame Mayor Jed Mabilog in this emerging mess if protecting his boss is the right thing to do. There is a big difference between Bacolod City - the City of Smile and Iloilo City, the City of Love where leadership is inspired by amor nummi – love of money.
In fact, Iloilo City is the only highly urbanized city in the whole country with a loving mayor who has no legacy whatsoever for the past nine years. Ah, City of Love, isn't this claim a nonsense? Well, going back to the P290M loan, who are these rich city councilors soon on official tour?
HE…the city government has an appropriation for land acquisition. This is mandated by law and the mayor may appoint someone who is knowledgeable about land dealing. The man to deliver the seventy-miles the mayor badly wants before his first three-year term expires is a City Hall Realtor better known as “The Commissioner.” Guess who is he?
A COA auditor text me a message that she cuts all my columns in The Daily Guardian newspaper about government corruption and had them xerox in seven copies each. Likewise, my defending her from scrutiny of involved corrupt officials. She said to have attached them to her folder for evaluation of the screening committee.
Later, I was informed that she was chosen a top national awardee for excellence in performance of duty. I am happy to hear about it for at least, my effort has borne fruits although in some other way. God knows, exitus acta probat – the outcome justifies the deed. Congratulations Ms. Haydee Pasuelo!
