BULL’S HIT

RUDY GARCIA

BAGUIO CITY -- I was so unfortunate I was not able to attend two activities I should have for the University of Baguio’s alumni homecoming this year. First was the UB alumni homecoming held at the UB gym on July 26 which was hosted by my batch mates of UB high school batch ’73, and second, the alumni luncheon treat at the Rosebowl Restaurant last Aug. 7.

I guess, it would be no use citing my unexcused reasons, but nevertheless, I was glad to hear from my batch mates that the activities were successful. Congrats! Surely, I owe a lot from my batch mates but I guess it’s not too late for my promise that I will be making up for my shortcomings to them and to my alma mater. Happy Homecoming!

First, it was an issue whether to postpone the Aug. 11 ARMM election or not, and although several positions were set forth, the Comelec said it was ready to push through while some lawmakers were for its postponement. The Senate likely would not conform to the postponement. It was plain stupidity for some of the administration puppets to hold on to the edge of the ropes just to have this election postponed.

They are saying that the ongoing peace process between the government panel and the MILF would be affected once the ARMM election pushes through and that the MILF would likely get mad and stage attacks. Ha! Ha!

How could these people issue such stupid reasons? They better tell that to the marines, not us. They are now admitting that we have a helpless Armed Forces of the Philippines and a powerless government to defend the constitution and the people? Or is this another kind of crap tactics by the spit masters to grab another chance to dance the cha-cha? Funny, but only here in the Philippines!

What is alarming now are reports that the government will push an agreement with the MILF or the Bangsa Moro for its territorial domain. The palace admitted this but was quick to deny that it was already finalized and said this was not yet a done deal. Oh, how I wish that our officials at Malacanang would show their true colors. Kanya kanya kasi sila ng hugasan ng kamay! Nakakahiya na sila! Buking da met!”

My salute goes to the National Bureau of Investigation-Cordillera especially its regional director, Manong Atty. Ricardo Pangan Jr. for their excellent entrapment operation that led to the arrest of two top officials of the Baguio City engineer’s office based on a complaint by a local contractor.

These two arrested officials are now facing extortion charges at the court. Sana magsilbing babala ito sa ibang mga opisyal na mahilig ng tongpats. Kuwidaw! And to the NBI operatives who made the entrapment, mabuhay kayo! And to the complainant: Kudos din sa iyo, sana marami pa ang mga katulad mo! keep it up! ***
Calling the attention of BCPO traffic division chief Samuel Bumangil Jr. to kindly check the reported causes of traffic at Upper Bonifacio St. heading to Gen. Luna Road., Upper Magsaysay beside old Tiong San, and at the corner of Upper Magsaysay and Gen. Luna Road.

According to one of my bubwits, some hard headed jeep drivers bound for Trancoville and Aurora Hill are making these areas their waiting terminals for passengers the reason for the heavy traffic. Worst he said, not even a traffic cop or a traffic aide could be seen in these areas at times like these! Magaling lamang sila sa hulihan. Well, that is according to my bubwit. Tama ba ito o hindi Insp. Bumangil? Pakibusisi!

Baguio ABC president and councilor Joel Alangsab and Baguio barangay affairs coordinator Lawrence adobe should look into the report of one of my bubwits that barangay officials at Upper Magsaysay headed by punong barangay Antonio Tamayo could be remise in their function as barangay officials and should be up on their toes to improve the peace and order in their turf.

According to my bubwit, a series of stabbing incidents are happening at the corner of upper Magsaysay Raod and Upper P. Burgos St. just beside those videoke joints and massage parlors especially at night.

He is wondering why there are no barangay officials or even tanods who should be on foot patrol to monitor and preserve the peace and order in that area. It was reportedly barangay officials and tanods of Lower Magsaysay barangay who were doing the job the officials of Upper Magsaysay. Totoo ba ito Antonio Tamayo? Naku kung totoo ito, mahiya ka naman kay apo kapitan Amagen ng Lower Magsaysay! Agkuti kayo met ah!
