Last December last year 2011,a group of prisoners which they call themselves as ‘”political prisoners” go on hunger strike to call for president Noynoy Aquino to help them on their state and ask the president to withdraw ‘baseless charges” against them and grant them unconditional amnesty. But however, one of the spokesman of the Aquino government, Edwin Lacierda deny that there are so-called “political prisoners” in the country today which of course consequently disheartened this group of prisoners which they call themselves as “political prisoners”, saying, “…the current number of political prisoners in the country is zero…”

But they insist they are; but are they are really?

According to them most of them were falsely charged with the same charges which is the “illegal possession of explosives” wherein they were perceived as members of any active armed groups in the Philippines like the New People’s Army (NPA) or the Moros of MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) or members of the Abu Sayyaf group, whereas, according to them were not true but just somewhat planted and frame-up and were arrested while doing their usual civil activities.

Therefore, if they are falsely charged to have explosives, then they are not true “political prisoners” but rather made to be like it. For if they admit they are indeed a political prisoners, they are already admitting that the charges charged upon them is indeed true and not false because a political prisoners as define is someone who is arrested and incarcerated illegally and put on unfair trial, only because one either have strong dissenting political views that has the tendency to be treasonous or someone is an accomplice of a treasonous act or have connivance and association with a political figure or political group that opposes vehemently the mainstream governance like the New People’s Army (NPA),Abu Sayaff, and MILF in the Philippines who have very strong opposite views regarding governance of the mainstream government.

Moreover, neither they are “Prisoner of Conscience(PoC)” too because they were not arrested due to their own set of belief systems either religious or political or race but according to them, they were just Falsely accused of “Baseless Charges”, thus they were arrested and incarcerated.

They should stop labeling themselves and claiming themselves to be real ‘political prisoners” and asking for unconditional amnesty if they are just falsely build up to be through false charges that will make them “political prisoners”. They should stop on repeatedly claiming and telling on the public they are political prisoners if they are indeed innocent of the false charges that insinuates them to be “political prisoners”, else they are only proving that they are guilty of the charges.

But rather, if they are indeed innocent of the charges they should seek justice and incarcerate rather the real perpetrator and criminal who falsely charged them and ask the Integrated Bar of the Philippines instead to give them a non-bias attorney that will help them in their respective case.

And they should stop knocking on the Aquino administration that shows blatant partiality and biases lately, if they want real justice.

The Rise of Mediocracy in the Philippines

“Everyone wants to rule the word” – This famous statement have marred the good image of late former Philippine president Ferdinand E. Marcos and wreck his administration and ruined his excellent vision for the Philippines. Yes, this over-maligned and defamed former Philippine president was indeed a good and very bright man. He was never a dictator or an evil man contrary to the rumors spread by the mediocre ones and the press media in the Philippines, just like what the mediocre ones and press media doing against former Philippine president Gloria Arroyo today; even former Philippine president Joseph “erap” Estrada was a victim of his own mediocratic principle.

Ferdinand E. Marcos

Actually, late former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos was elected three times as the President of the Philippines for his commendable achievement and by his high-class visions for the Philippines. But this was ruined by the infiltration of a Communist or Maoist thoughts and ideologies brought by the Cold War then (but I suspect it was the international business elites who do this, see my succeeding paragraph below),which created the creation of a numerous “leftist” and vigilantes groups today who pursue a radical change in the government base on the Communist principle; one of the active communist group that still exist today beginning at the Marcos Administration is the New People’s Army or NPA.

These ‘leftist’ groups become so rampant and wild on the Marcos Administration then (because that was their beginnings or birth in the Philippines) which spreads lawlessness (such as disrespectful to the authorities) and vandalistic attitude that threatens the good security and economic status of the Philippines then, which forces former late Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos to impose Martial Law to counter these threats and save the Philippines from being overtaken by Communism and anarchic principles. Thus, because of these threats and the cluelessness of the Marcos administration of who is behind this destabilization plot and demolition job to overthrow the present Philippine government, resort into arresting leaders of the alleged Communist groups and torture them to speak out who is behind the spread anarchism, vandalism, and destabilization plot against the present reigning Philippine administration, and one of the person arrested is Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino because Ninoy repeatedly criticized the Marcos administration without any very solid evidence about his accusations. Thus he was suspected to have a connection to the mastermind or even one of the masterminds of the destabilization plot and demolition job.

Was Marcos wrong in containing these anarchic threats? Or was his ways of containing it wrong?

Furthermore, not only Communism and anarchy creeps in on Marcos third administration but also disloyalty and corruption of his cabinet members flourish beyond his control, which created the “corruption thought” today in the Philippine politics on Cabinet members.

Is the infiltration of Communism and corruption of his cabinet members a POWER PLAY? To destabilize his good governance and to dis-empower him because of the insecurities of the mediocre ones and the revenge of the Foreign Businesspersons then, especially Chinese ones against Marcos plans to transfer foreign ownership of businesses in the Philippines to the Filipinos and they use the mediocre Filipino then to stir up chaos and communism, so that their businesses will not be transferred to the Filipinos?

Ferdinand Marcos

Is the International Business Community, the Mastermind of destabilization plot and demolition job to destroy the Marcos Administration and to destroy Marcos among the mediocre masses, respectively to suit their personal agendas and to build a Philippine government which they could control?

The downfall of a good leader is the rise of Mediocracy in the Philippines, a.k.a “People Power”, perpetuated by the International Business Elites to suit their personal business agendas and to oust out Marcos using the mediocre Filipino mass.

I pity much Marcos, because he was not justified and acknowledged for what he have done good to the Filipinos in his past administrations but remembered as useless and evil Philippine president ever live. This is definitely INJUSTICE.

Is “People Power” worth remembering against a former good leader?
