DO YOU LOVE GUIHULNGAN AND THE POOR,? DO YOU LOVE THE PHILIPPINES?

LOCAL GRAFT AND CORRUPTION SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED FOR THE GOOD OF ALL(IT HURTS THE POOR THE MOST.-BISHOP SOCRATES VILLEGAS - http://dine.racoma.com.ph/campaign-for-peace/fight-it-or-perish-fighting-graft-and-corruption/). LOCAL CORRUPTION CONTRIBUTED TO THE HARDSHIP OF FILIPINOS BECAUSE IT ADDED TO THE HEAVY BURDEN CARRIED BY OUR NATION AND THAT BADLY AFFECTED THE ECONOMY BECAUSE WHEN LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE CORRUPT (LIKE THIS CORRUPT MAYOR REYES IN FOCUS) THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS THAT ARE RECEIVING INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENT (IRA) FROM THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IN MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PESOS ARE ONLY WASTED DUE TO CORRUPTION, THE ECONOMY SUFFERS AND IT IS TRUE THAT THE POVERTY-STRICKEN PINOYS SUFFERS THE MOST. WE WONDER, WHY DO OUR LIFE IS HARD UP IN SPITE OF THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF IRA RECEIVED BY GUIHULNGAN? WHY DO OUR GUIHULNGAN HOME FOLKS HAVE TO GO ABROAD TO FEED THEIR FAMILY? WHY DO OUR RELATIVES HAVE TO FIND WORK IN ANOTHER PLACE TO FEED HIS FAMILY? WHY DO GOVT OFFICIAL PARTICULALRLY THIS MAYOR REYES AND HIS SON CAN BET THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PESOS IN COCK FIGHTING OR DERBY AND WHILE OTHERS GUIHULNGANONS ARE HARD UP FINANCIALLY? WHY DO FELLOW EMPLOYEE HAVE TO EXPLOIT AND PREY ON SMALL EARNER EMPLOYEES BY SELLING RICE TO THEM ON CREDIT TO EARN BIG INCOME OR LENDING MONEY? WHY DO EMPLOYEES OF THE GOV’T IN GUIHULNGAN ARE HARD UP IN DEBTS UP TO THE NECK, WHILE THE MAYOR AND HIS SON LIBERALLY BET THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PESOS IN GAMBLING AND COCK FIGHTING? WHY DO FELLOW EMPLOYEES IN THE GOVT HAVE TO BORROW MONEY JUST TO BUY FOOD? WHY? WHERE ARE THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PESOS FROM THE IRA THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO HELP THEM WHO ARE HARD UP? THIS GAP BETWEEN THE POOR AND THE RICH AND POWERFUL IS LARGE, AND ALL THESE HARD UP LIFE OF GUIHULNGANONS IS BECAUSE OF MISSPENT AND WASTED GOV’T FUNDS OR IRA DUE TO CORRUPTION DONE CLANDESTINELY- AT LAST THIS ONE CORRUPT ACT IS CAUGHT BY CAMERA- http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=2041694&id=1211464215 . ATTENTION PRESIDENT NOYNOY AND OMBUDSMAN >> (PLEASE SEE & READ THIS) FIGHT IT OR PERISH! (Fighting Graft and Corruption) – full article written by Fr. Socrates Villegas, Bishop of Balanga. - “How shall we describe graft and corruption in our country? It is systemic. It is rewarding. It hurts the poor the most.” >> GO TO >> http://dine.racoma.com.ph/campaign-for-peace/fight-it-or-perish-fighting-graft-and-corruption/ . NOW, THE QUESTION IS: Are you for the people who are abused or for the corrupt mayor who got his way? THERE ARE SEVERAL STORIES ABOUT GOVT VEHICLES USED ILLEGALLY BY MAYOR REYES AND HIS VICE-MAYOR SON, AND WE HAVE SEEN THIS CORRUPT ACT NOT ONLY ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER ONE CORRUPT ACT CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT CORRUPTION DID HAPPEN AND STILL HAPPENING IN GUIHULNGAN IS GENUINE, NOT PHOTOSHOP OR DOCTORED. IF WE HAVE NOT FILED A CASE VERSUS MAYOR REYES SOME PEOPLE WILL ASK WHY & CRITICIZE? WHEN WE HAVE FILED A CASE STILL SOME PEOPLE WILL ASK WHY TO US & CRITICIZE? AND WHEN WE EXPOSE SUCH CORRUPT ACT AGAIN, SOME PEOPLE WILL ASK WHY AND CRITICIZE? IF WE HAVE NOT JUST THE SAME SOME OF THE PEOPLE WILL ASK WHY & CRITICIZE US. NOW, WHERE WOULD WE POSITION OURSELVES? THE SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE IS WITH SOME PEOPLE. WE HAVE HERE A MAYOR WHO WAS CAUGHT COMMITTING GRAFT & CORRUPTION- (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=2041694&id=1211464215 (A CASE WAS FILED AT THE OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN BUT ITS COMPLETION WAS THWARTED BY AN UNDERHAND MANEUVERING AS IT WAS REVEALED LATER BY A FORMER CONGRESSMAN, A FORMER ALLY OF MAYOR REYES. HOWEVER, THE CASE CAN BE REFILED-WE'LL ASK A LAWYER FOR THE DETAILS). AND NOW THAT WE ARE BRINGING AND EXPOSING THE PROOF AND FACTS AGAIN OF THE SAID CORRUPTION THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE NOT ONLY THAT THEY WILL CRITICIZE US BUT IMPUTE ON US A SUPPOSE WRONGDOING THAT WE NEVER DID INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING US AND ENCOURAGING SUPPORT AGAINST A REAL AND UNLAWFUL ACT COMMITTED BY MAYOR REYES. THERE ARE EVIDENCE TO SHOW, PICTURES ESPECIALLY. WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR THE BEST SOLUTION WHERE WE CAN BE UNITED TO FIGHT THIS CORRUPTION AND BRING IT TO JUSTICE. AND BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY A PRECEDENCE WE ARE AWARE NOW THAT CORRUPTION EXISTS IN GUIHULNGAN AND WE HAVE TO STOP IT; WE HAVE TO GUARD OUR TAXES AND HELP OUR PLACE AND OUR ECONOMIC LIFE TO IMPROVE AND PROGRESS. (IT'S EASY FOR ANY ONE TO SAY STOP TALKING ABOUT CORRUPTION PARTICULARLY IF HE/SHE IS NOT REALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION IN GUIHULNGAN OR HAS NO KNOWLEDGE WHAT IS GOING ON IN GUIHULNGAN BECAUSE HE/SHE IS NOT IN GUIHULNGAN ANYMORE OR IF HE/SHE HAS A NICE LIFE WHERE HE IS NOW AND HAS NOT EXPERIENCE THE HARDSHIP THE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING IN GUIHULNGAN OR BECAUSE HE/SHE IS A GOV’T. EMPLOYEE WHO MUST PROTECT HIS SUPERIOR, FOR EXAMPLE THE MAYOR IN FOCUS, SO HE/SHE WILL OPPOSE ANY ATTACK DUE TO SCANDAL OR CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE MAYOR EVEN IF THE SCANDAL IS TRUE.) HOWEVER, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE OF COUNTRY, LOVE OF FELLOW GUIHULNGANONS, HELPING THOSE WHO ARE HARD UP DUE TO BAD ECONOMY BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION- http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=2041694&id=1211464215 , THE QUESTION TO ASK IS THIS - ARE YOU PART OF THE SOLUTION OR ARE YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM? SO WHICH PART ARE YOU? IT WILL BE IN YOUR CONSCIENCE WHEN YOU RESPOND OR REACT INCORRECTLY.

We are against graft and corruption not only that they are wrong-immoral-punishable under the law but because the public interest in government's money that comes from their taxes must be protected. The public, especially those who have less in life who cannot help themselves are the victims of this Mayor Reyes. They are just naïve. They are fooled, deceived and have become tolerant for the fact that they are poor and cannot help themselves and so, they are made a political tool by this corrupt mayor and they are unaware that because of such exploitation it made their life very poor. They have no match to this master deceiver in politics that even if corruption is being committed by the mayor of Guihulngan they cannot help but just tolerate because they have become helpless, dependent and very poor unless there is an anti-corruption group who can rescue them from the economic death trap that made their life very poor and miserable, they will be free again. Graft and Corruption in the local government unit of Guihulngan should be stopped.

And unless the people of Guihulngan, the majority of the people will wake up, the wings of Guihulngan can freely fly to progress.

When morality in government and anti-corruption principles is understood, and realization sets in a person he/she will fight for his/her rights, guard his/her taxes, demand a righteous and honest governance. He/She will demand transparency in each and every government transaction and demand accounting report for every centavo spent by any government official out of the government fund, he/she is meticulous and he/she will be cautious in seeing government projects done well and genuinely completed. And he/she will demand full access to government records and documents. The results of the peoples’ care and vigilance is development of the municipality or city, improvement of poor peoples’ lives, in short, progress can be seen and felt and experienced by the people. And so, I AM ENCOURAGING THE PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION IN GUIHULNGAN NOW THAT IT IS A CITY AND HAS P300 MILLION PLUS IRA THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TAXES. IT WAS ABUSED BEFORE, AND IF IT WILL BE ABUSED AGAIN IF THEY ARE INDIFFERENT AND TOLERANT ABOUT CORRUPTION THEN PROGRESS AND THEIR FUTURE WILL BE AT STAKE, THEIR FUTURE WILL BE IN DANGER WHEN CORRUPTION AT ITS SOURCE WILL CONTINUE. AGAIN IF THE PEOPLE WILL BE INDIFFERENT WHEN THEY NOTICE CORRUPTION AND INSTEAD TOLERANT ABOUT IT AND WILL NOT TAKE ACTION AND DEMAND THEN THEY WILL PERISH IN LIFE THAT IS DIFFICULT AND POVERTY-STRICKEN. I AM SUGGESTING WHAT THE PEOPLE UNITED SHOULD DO TO STOP CORRUPTION; THEY SHOULD DEMAND FORM THEIR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AS I HAVE WROTE IN THIS BLOG THAT THERE SHOULD BE TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT TRANSACTIONS & THE BUDGET AND ACCOUNTING REPORT SHOULD BE POSTED IN THE BULLETIN BOARD ABOUT WHAT & WHERE OUR TAXES GOES & WENT & THE ACCESS TO GOVT RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE PERMITTED AT ALL TIMES. ALL THESE RIGHTS ARE WRITTEN AND EMBODIED IN OUR CONSTITUTION. LET'S FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS! AND HAVE LIFE ABUNDANTLY.

Let's Stop Corruption at the Source

I was and I am against corruption in government, and my advocacy and cause is to- ‘STOP CORRUPTION At The Source!’ WALA KO NANGHILABOT SA PERSONAL LIFE SA MAYOR ONLY THIS THAT PERTAINS TO HIS POSITION IN RELATION TO HIS JOB IN THE GOVERNMENT THAT INCLUDES HIS HANDLING OF TAXPAYERS MONEY WHERE IT IS INCIDENTAL WHEN WE CHECK ON CORRUPTION AND WHO WOULD BE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE WITH REGARDS TO POSITION IN THE GOVT IT IS UNDENIABLE THAT THE MAYOR IS THE OFFICIAL AT THE TOP OF THE LOCAL GOVT UNIT AND IN POWER AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE. Hence, it cannot be avoided, and to investigate further on corruption if corruption was actually committed founded on what we have witnessed in Barangay Buenavista, Guihulngan where the unlawful act was actually committed by Mayor Reyes and what evidence credible enough for the public to believe we found out there are photographs, actual pictures not photoshop as evidence and so it is very clear to us that the mayor was the one responsible with regards to his position, in fact, we have witnesses as evidence. Examining and analyzing the evidences we found out that he was really the one ordering the unlawful act that did happen in Barangay Buenavista, Guihulngan.because he was actually there during the incident was happening. When we started or have moved on to guard our taxes as one of our aim he was there on the way because of his position. And the precedent incident in Barangay, Buenavista makes him vulnerable and so it is inevitable that he will surely be affected, that all fingers will point directly at him when we define and describe graft and corruption and the mayor doing such unlawful and punishable act under Philippine laws should be prosecuted and punished. Therefore, he is the official on focus. He is the official when we discuss corruption in Guihulngan.

WHY WE ARE AGAINST GRAFT AND CORRUPTION?

At certain points it is understandable that individuals working in the government will side with corrupt official for self-preservation or to protect their jobs for their own interest and advantage and furthermore for those people to side with the corrupt official because they have gained profits due to the official in power that helped them acquired a contract with the government and commission due to the transaction entered into by the bidder and the government official in power and the secrecy of such with regards to the documents signed and the amount of money released which will result into graft and corruption because there is no transparency in government transaction because the people did not demand for the transparency of government transaction. And that transaction that is not transparent to the public is personal, unfair and selfish of them making it. That is unacceptable when it comes to morality and to anti-corruption principles. Morality and anti-corruption principle is to think and care about the welfare of the people especially for those who cannot help themselves, and to think for those people who cannot eat three times a day and in regards to this to protect their interests in the government fund. These money from peoples’ taxes that have been wasted into corrupt government officials pockets and into unscrupulous individuals purse because of the graft and corruption act they have committed is one of the main factors that contributed to peoples’ poverty and why there is poverty and bad economy that affected the life of the people especially the poor and has made their life miserable, and that is also why we have insurgency problem. This is easy and simple to understand if a person cares about the poor and the country but if not and this person only thinks about for his own selfish interest thus he cannot understand the morality in government and the anti-corruption principles . When a person think about love of country, that means the people living in the country as well, in our case the Guihulnganons or the Filipinos and their life, especially the poorest of the poor, instantly this person will become unselfish, this person will gain a caring attitude, he will hate graft and corruption and then he can acquire morality and right principles for after all this people that he or we are concern about, THE REASONS WHY WE ARE AGAINST GRAFT AND CORRUPTION – not only that it is wrong and unlawful but it is a necessity in protecting public interest for the good of all, and the public as we understood are our kababayans, townspeople, friends, the no-blood relation and the blood related individuals and our family that we arise from our passivity and act, shun and oppose the corrupt government officials that are abusive and have abused their power and corrupted the government just for their own greedy, selfish, political and personal interests. And so because of that when realization strikes upon a person and morality in government and anti-crruption principles is understood, and enlightenment sets in the person then he will be fighting for his rights, guarding his taxes, demand righteous, honest governance and transparency in each and every government transaction and accounting report for government money spent by any government official out of the government fund, he will become meticulous and cautious in seeing government projects done well and genuinely completed. All because of a person’s love of country, love of people because of the love of God. The results of the person’s care and vigilance is the development of the city/municipality, the improvement of poor peoples’ lives and betterment of government officials governance, arising economy, peace and progressive people insignificant of whether the move against graft and corruption is political or non-political as long as it’s genuine concern for the public interest and in fighting against graft and corruption and the change to a better way and government is appropriate, commendable and exemplary . We are doing ourselves a favor when we do this, so please come and support us and we will end the miserable life especially of the poor. “that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.” - John 10:10 (Douay-Rheims Bible) into a life worth living for. We all want to see our economy arising and better and our lives peaceful and progressive and our place beautiful and developed, and our environment clean and green, etc. Me and you can make a different. Let us help each other in fighting graft and corruption for the sake of all of us and our country especially to the poor and the poorest of the poor. Let's go, act and care.
