Bid out Solibao and Ganza restaurants now

BULL’S HIT
Rudy Garcia

The Supreme Court ruled out that the Truth Commission created by Malacanang through an executive order under the new administration was unconstitutional.

The highest court of this Banana Republic is now seemingly saying that other fact-finding committees could also be unconstitutional. It means these are contrary to or violative of the constitution or fundamental law of the state. Would the decision do better or worse for this country?

Question is, if recommendatory resolutions from fact- finding committees are made with probable causes to indict investigated government officials, would these now merit consideration to higher level of investigative bodies like the Sandigan Bayan?

How I wish there would be no conflicting crossfire of position hereon that would be tantamount to putting anti-graft and corrupt cases at the closet and made to rot there. Of course smart lawyers would be happy to just file motions for dismissal by means of technicality if these cases are brought out.

Now I don’t blame other people if they seek justice through other means or join underground movements and live on the mountains because sometimes justice is not served fair and square, right honorable justices?

I have been receiving mixed reactions from my friends regarding my latest article in my column of the Ganza and Solibao restaurants within Burnham Park. A few are saying that in my cause, I am heading in the right direction, but reminding me to be careful. A lot however presume this will go nowhere.

Malakas daw ang kapit ng mag-asawang Cating sa City Hal. Perhaps, Councilor Elmer Datuin who is the chairperson of the city council’s committee on parks management could do something and prove that nobody is untouchable. Right Apo Datuin?

Matagal nang expired ang kontrata, ano pa ang hinihintay ninyo? Go ahead and conduct public bidding for the Ganza and Solibao restaurants, period!

Many are complaining against Smart Communications Company I am told. According to my bubuwit, he went to the Smart office at SM Baguio to complain about his SIM card that was apparently having a problem with load consumption. Ninanakaw daw ang kanyang load.

Imagine him, loading his SIM card for an all text 20 (P20.00) only to be empty after sending five text messages only to smart users. Magagalit siyempre.

To his surprise, plenty were also complaining of the same problem at the smart office. They aired the same sentiment calling the attention of Smart management, to do something about the alleged stealing of loads from their Smart SIM Cards.

I for one experienced this similar problem so I urge Smart Communications to do something, otherwise, I may not believe that using smart makes you smart.

This is to call the attention of the Baguio City permits and licensing office to look into a reported bar establishment that does not have a business permit to operate.

According to my bubuwit, this Yanganot’s Bar and Billiards at the Cospal Building of Upper Mabini St. is also a haven of minors and poker games. According to kabayanihan punong barangay Michael Carl Flores whom my bubuwit immediately informed of the matter, there was already a closure order of the said establishment but no action has been done.

If this was true, then I wonder what’s keeping the permits and licensing and public order and safety division under the mayor’s office in enforcing the said closure order. Baka naghihintay ng pamasko… err I mean pasko?

How true is it that some public utility drivers were able to renew their drivers’ licenses despite them using prohibited drugs? Some jeepney and taxi drivers disclosed to my bubuwit that they knew of some drivers who renewed their licenses even without actual tests.

They claimed some fixers at the Baguio City Land Transportation Office were doing the business for money. Whew! I have been tired of calling the attention of the LTO Office but it seems that they are afflicted of bulag, pipi at bingi syndrome.
