Corrupt officials

BULL’S HIT
Rudy Garcia

Baguio officials are now standing pat to reclaim the questionable 25 hectares land title issued to the Caranteses. Based on their letter reply, the congressman, mayor, vice mayor and some city councilors admitted having no knowledge of this “done deal” by some nincompoops at the national level right under their noses.

Understood though is that local government offices could only do “ministerial jobs” during such occasions. But they should have been keener in doing right or wrong or at least made some noises so those in higher levels would have quashed the deal. Unless there were some cash-sunduans or maybe lupang regaluhan to paralyze their senses of watching and smelling.

I hope that the city officials would move heaven and earth to protect the patrimony of this summer capital. This way, we could be relieved at least from their being caught flatfooted. Just hoping it’s not too late for them to catch up with this “done deal”

If the Illegal Pocket mining that is reportedly back in operation at Camp 6 and 4 along the mountains of Kennon Road, Tuba Benguet would not be stopped by officials of the barangay, municipal and even the Mines and Geology Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, then it is not farfetched that the whole area along Kennon would likely follow the sad fate of Mankayan town also in Benguet.

Could you just imagine Kennon Road vanishing and waking up someday that Baguio City is now somewhere in Pangasinan? Whew, those officials who seem to be bulag, pipi at bingi should be tied up down there in an abandoned structure at the junction in Saitan, Camp 1 and be buried alive with those people responsible for resurrecting this illegal activity. You could ask the residents there at camp 6 who these people are.

It’s simple mathematics to know why there are still lots of vehicles emitting killer-usok plying public roads. The campaign against these vehicles is a failure. Why? Blame it to the accredited emission testing centers that are doing wonders of magic on these smoke belchers who passed the test with flying colors.

And of course they could not have done this good and clean deal without the tie up arrangement from some crooks at responsible agencies. How much? That I don’t know.

On the other hand, fixers at the Land Transportation Office in Baguio are reportedly again making a heyday by bringing clients at the LTO in San Fernando City, La Union for deals. My bubuwit told me they do this Tuesday every week, meaning those corrupt people at LTO, San Fernando City are again back with their monkey business after laying low for quite sometime.

But, do the top honchos know about this or they have the blessing? Or they simply pretend not to see or hear nothing? Well, money changes everything. It could even make you deaf, mute and blind, worst inutile!
