GHOSTS YOU SAY?

meet gloring, the vindictive ghost!

They accuse Mayor Jejomar Binay and the entire City Council of hiring “ghost” employees as if they are the only ones liable for such misrepresentation. The thing is, when you point an accusing finger at someone, there are three other fingers that point back to you. This is basically what the hypocrites are doing to the beleaguered mayor of Makati — singling him out for an act which practically all mayors and governors in the country have been guilty of doing.

Now, whether the allegations against Binay are true or not is no longer my or anybody’s problem. The burden of proof rests on his accusers. If they really have the evidence, then let the axe fall where it should fall. Implement the law if they must, but they must never do so maliciously and selectively.

What I find revolting is the callousness with which this administration is taking advantage of its powers just for the sole purpose of pinning down a leader of the opposition.

Erap hit the nail right on its head when he declared:

“The true issue that our people confront today is not the ghost employees of Makati, but the ghost of the 2004 elections which represent the illegitimate presidency of Mrs. Arroyo. The real ghost employee is in Malacañang and not in Makati.”

The detained former President went on to state:

“The culture of corruption and cheating has worsened in this regime, with cheating in the nursing exams, the Palarong Pambansa, the signatures in the Sigaw ng Bayan People’s Inititative and, more importantly, the cheating during the last presidential elections. 

Is this the country we stand to have today? Rampant deception and cheating have become the rule while those who served honorably and honestly are harassed with court cases, removed from their positions, or at worst, put to jail, abducted and summarily executed? 

Are the continuing efforts to remove non-cooperating local officials part of the grand project to insure the forcible change of the Constitution? Is this part of a sinister design to ensure the victory of a bankrupt People’s Initiative orchestrated by Malacañang?”

Haha. So very true Mr. President.
