Retards in the Government 24

Part 24 of "Retards in the Government.  Part 24 but there will be more. If I remain alive I guarantee part 25!



You know what they say.  No good deed goes unpunished. With all the good work the PDEA is doing we all know this is not about their performance. Or maybe it is.  All those arrests and not enough kills. How will the PDEA help Duterte make good on his promise to make the streets run with blood?

Another frivolous lawsuit from the lawsuit king. The only thing of note about this one is that RJ Nieto will have his time wasted in court and end up spending lots of money on legal fees. But then he is good friends with the Dutertes so maybe he is covered?

With Mocha receiving so much ridicule for being suggested as a senatorial candidate it can hardly be a coincidence that she has decided to study up on the law. There are no coincidences in politics. She is likely going the same route that Manny Pacquiao went.

Wow a 10 day course is all it takes to be ready to govern the country! I wonder if 10 days of intense training would be all I need to KO the Pac-Man.

A voice of sanity amongst so many loud and insane voices. He does offer a reasonable alternative to the push to federalism:  "merely but effectively and efficiently implementing the provisions of the 1987 Constitution for strong local autonomy and decentralisation." How about that? The constitution has everything needed to do what needs to be done.  Who would've thought?
"Genuine heart for Filipinos" does not qualify anyone for a seat in the senate. How about knowledge of the law and the country's needs? How about being morally upstanding and able to work with people you disagree with in a civil manner?  The senate is populated with unqualified actors and athletes who have plenty of genuine heart for Filipinos and no genuine brain to know how to actually help them.

Story time again!

“Many among us who participated and witnessed the Senate and the lower house hearings on the smuggled Php 6.4B shabu shipment that passed through our country’s customs house under the noses of those tasked to check on smuggling are shocked and angered by the dismissal of the case against all the BOC personnel,” Senator Panfilo Lacson said in a statement. 
Lacson said it was “unimaginable, if not impossible” that the drug shipment would reach its destination in Valenzuela City from China, without the participation and complicity of the BOC personnel involved. 
“Simple logic will tell us that at the very least those under whose watch the drug shipment passed through should be held criminally liable as well,” he added.
Looks like no one is going to be held responsible for this huge amount of shabu slipping past customs.

And it looks like someone does not want this matter to be investigated at all.

So much for the hardline stance on even a whiff of corruption barring someone from employment with the government.
It will certainly be a refreshing change once the PNP gets back in control of the drug war. If these cops are involved in illegal activities it only stands to reason that they should be charged, tried, and punished rather than simply be dismissed.
How in the world can someone be appointed to post that does not exist?  Only in the Philippines!

In a press conference on Friday, Aguirre said that a witness, a private citizen, has come forward to reveal the government may have been duped into paying P8.7 billion for a road right of way (RROW) scam in Mindanao. The National Bureau of Investigation was also tapped to conduct a case build up on the information.
Random, anonymous guy makes claim about alleged scam and the DOJ Secretary immediately holds a press conference to reveal this allegation to the world rather than have the NBI quietly investigate the matter and build a case first. Makes a lot of sense. In the corrupt Philippines that is.
All this probing into the past administration but absolutely none for the current administration.  Is this selective justice?  If Duterte can sign an order preventing the NBI from investigating Faeldon can he not also sign an order to prevent the NBI from investigating Aquino?  How would he even possess such authority?
