Pagpatay kay Mei Magsino at iba pa, hindi dapat kalimutan ngayong halalan - NBI at Police bakit ayaw magtulungan?

Katanghalian ng Abril 13, 2015, sa Balagtas, Batangas City pinaslang sa Mei Magsino
Karaniwan  nang bansag sa Batangas ang pagiging Murder Capital ng Pilipinas. Sa dami ng patayang nagaganap   sa buong Lalawigan, mangilan-ngilan lang ang masasabing naresolba ng mga awtoridad at naisampa sa hukuman upang panagutin  ang mga may sala.

Ang high profile na kaso ng pagpaslang sa amamahayag na si Mei Magsino noong Abril 13, 2015, mahigit 6 na buwan na. Mistulang blank wall pa rin ang status ng kaso. Sabi ng Batangas PNP, mayroon sanang progreso kung nabigyan lang sila ng NBI ng kopya ng CCTV footage na hawak nito para ikumpara sa hawak nila. Ang NBI naman hanggang ngayon walang sinasabi, bukod sa naunang tiningnang love triangle na wala namang kinahinatnan.

Bakit ganito ang sistema ng ating law enforcement? Noong sinabi nila na iimbestigahan nila ang mga local officials na posibleng may motibo, nagawa ba nila o TAKOT SILA?  Bakit kapag ang anggulong yan ang binabanggit, para silang IWAS PUSOY?

Malapit na ang halalan, hindi  maiiwasang maging isang POLITICAL ISSUE ang bagay na ito - UNA, upang ipaalala sa lahat  na  TALAGANG MAY MGA MAMAMATAY-TAONG PULITIKO SA BATANGAS.

IKALAWA, napakahina ng ating law enforcement agencies. Tila walang kakayahan -  BAKA DAPAT PALITAN SILANG LAHAT AT SA MALALAYO IDESTINO ANG MGA PULIS NA TAGA BATANGAS upang maiwasan ang PAGTATAKIP? Doon sila ipadala sa conflict areas ng Mindanao!

IKATLO, NASAAN NA ANG PANGAKO NG MALAKANYANG na reresolbahin nila ito at WALANG SISINUHIN?

NASAAN na ang mga kaibigan ni Mei na sina  Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto, at ang umano'y pagtulong  ng asawa nitong si Sen. Raph Recto gayong may mga kapangyarihan at impluwensya sila upang i-pressure ang mga kinauukulan na gumalaw?

NASAAN na ang matalik na kaibigan ni Mei Magsino na si Kap. Bart Blanco ng Balagtas, Batangas City kung saan pinaslang si Mei? Ngayong kandidato sya  sa pagka- Bokal, ano ang kanyang masasabi sa bagay na ito? Hindi baga't malapit sya sa mga Recto, bakit di nya magawang ipaalala ang bagay na  ito  sa kanila?

Age copes up with two Batangas dynasties: WINDS OF CHANGE BLOWING

Batangas City's Eduardo Dimacuha or EBD is the most pitiful political dynast today
Seriously sick, physically and mentally frail, he had no choice but to keep holding on to power for his own and his family's sake he may leave behind anytime. My friend told me "kailangan nya protektahan ang mga maiiwan nya - sa daming kalokohang ginawa sigurado kaliwa't kanang kaso ang aabutin."

Same thing with the ageing Hermie Dolor of Bauan. His "manufactured politician" son proved to be a disaster as Mayor. With practically NO ACCOMPLISHMENT to show, but more of highly questionable contracts that have caused the people a lot of difficulties, including paying 
high costs of electricity and water

bills. And the legal complexities seem to have been "cured" with the collaboration of nephew-in-law Rep. Raneo Abu by filing bills in Congress that will protect and empower the dynasty. Even more appalling, Bauan has had no municipal building for 5 years because the mayor had the old one demolished, defaced the plaza, and plans to sell the historical Bauan Central School. 



And unless the case of the dastardly assassination of journalist Mei Magsino is resolved before May 2016 elections, it will haunt these dynasties because they were thought to be her worst enemies.

WHO CAN FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO HER
ON APRIL 13, 2015 IN BROAD DAYLIGHT?

And the writings on the wall are - these dynasties are doomed. Nalalapit na ang katapusan ng paghahari nila.
But I don't want EBD to die just yet. That will upgrade his nephew, Vice Mayor Doc Jun Berberabe. And becoming a sudden Mayor will make it difficult for Kristine Balmes to defeat him. Unlike her erstwhile in-laws which will remake Kristine a giant slayer like David. Because the general sentiment now is ANYBODY BUT DIMACUHA.

Kristine CAN BE Batangas City's New Hope - she will hopefully represent what many of us have been craving for - CHANGE because the past 28 years is just horrible. We need a breath of fresh air, someone who has shown the world that she can stand on her own - even standing against her former in-laws and his family, including resisting the maneuverings of the Berberabes.

Exciting days ahead indeed, but at a bloody cost.
