More on Duterte, Pichay & ARMM

LIFE’S INSPIRATION: “…Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance...” (Psalm 33:12, the Holy Bible).

MORE QUESTIONS ON THE DUTERTE-ANDRES SNAFU: Here are more questions on the Davao City Sarah Duterte-Abe Andres snafu: why did Sheriff Abe proceed with the demolition of shanties in the city’s Agdao District despite the two-hour request of Mayor Sarah? Was he ordered to ignore the mayor’s request? Who ordered him to proceed with the demolition despite Sarah’s request?

And, what, really, is the significance of the public advice given to Mayor Sarah by her father, Vice Mayor Rodrigo, for her not to apologize for her having punched Sheriff Abe---was it a mere act of arrogance, or an expression of disgust and his feeling of betrayal that some people really are too much of an ingrate?

PICHAY, VICTIM OF DOUBLE-STANDARD OF JUSTICE: Did Acting Ombudsman Orlando Casimiro really think that his order dismissing Administrator (and former Surigao congressman) Prospero Pichay Jr. of the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) would be appreciated by the Filipino people?

He is wrong if he thought so, because, in reality, the dismissal of Pichay is being viewed by many as a double-standard of justice. Not because Pichay is obviously being prosecuted for his ties with former President Gloria Arroyo, but more because he was clearly singled out in the alleged illegal purchase of a rural bank with LWUA funds.

The question for Casimiro is: why prosecute and punish Pichay alone and leave out the bank owners and officers, when, very clearly, the bank owners and officers were the beneficiaries of the LWUA purchase of their dying bank?

ARMM PRAYS FOR SPEEDY RESOLUTION OF POLL PLEAS: People from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) are fervently praying that the Supreme Court will act expeditiously on various petitions filed by several groups and personalities questioning the law postponing the August 2011 ARMM elections.

The immediate resolution of the petitions would remove the uncertainties hounding the ARMM and its residents, especially on the vital issue of who should really lead the region at this point in its history---the Malacanang-appointed officers-in-charge or officials directly elected and given the people’s mandate?

WARNING FROM JESUS CHRIST: Here’s a warning from the Lord Jesus Christ, coming from Matthew 7:21-23 of the Holy Bible: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ ”
