The Wrath of God
Brigadier General Danny Lim, Col. Ariel Querruben and Chief Supt. Marcelino Franco were invited last night, February 23 for a conference regarding the plan to break the chain of command and to withdraw their support to the Commander-In-Chief. According to General Senga, Col. Querruben and Gen. Lim are now in camp Aguinaldo while Chief Supt. Franco is in Camp Crame. In the words of Col. Dodoy Suerte, Gen. Lim, Col. Querruben and Chief Supt. Franco “are neutralized”.
For the last three weeks, three principal disasters happened. First is the Ultra Stampede where 79 persons perished and some 300 injured. Last week, there was mudslide in Barangay Guinsaugon, St. Bernard, Southern Leyte. The whole barangay, two (2) square kilometers was wholly covered with 30 feet of mud with only less than a hundred survivors. To date, only 129 dead bodies were recovered while some 2,500 are still missing. Less than 50 persons survived.
Yesterday, in Adriatico Street, Manila, portion of the road caved in on a deep excavation for a building construction. Two vehicles parked on the road were partly buried and an engineering heavy equipment was toppled.
It is hard to believe that such engineering failure in Adriatico Street will happen in the construction site of DM Consonji Inc. This engineering construction firm has a long, tested excellent records in the field of construction not only in the Philippines but also abroad.
Before these three disasters, there were some accidents that happened like the military chopper crash in Bulacan. The captain of that chopper died. Are these disasters happening in coincidence with the national governance of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? Or regardless of who is the head of state of the Philippines, those disasters would have happened? Or if someone else headed the country, would the accident may not have happened?
According to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) the root of all the major problems in the political life in the Philippines is the lack of morality, absence of truth, justice, unity and peace among our people. Hence, CBCP recommends the continuous search for truth. It also urges the political leaders to show adequate changes so as to restore just and fair politics and change to those corrupt public officials at all levels. To do this, CBCP recommends not to scrap the election in 2007.
But President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has been alleged to have cheated in the election of 2004 and had lied the Pilipino people. Some people like former President Cory Aquino, Senate President Franklin Drilon and some members of her cabinet have asked President Arroyo to step down from the presidency since last year. They questioned her legitimacy and moral ascendancy to the presidency. But she resisted them. Only God knows of what President Arroyo has been doing. Did she cheat? Did she lie? She, herself and those of her allies know the truth. To a certain extent, Ms. Arroyo has been impeding her allies to disclose the truth as she issued Executive Order No. 464 which prevents officials from testifying in any investigating committee without the consent of President Arroyo.
If the allegations that President Arroyo cheated in the election and lied to the people, are these disasters happening to us today the Wrath of God? /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
