PRIVILEGE SPEECH of REP. ERICE REP. ERICE. Thank You, Mr. Speaker. Today, I Rise for the Purpose of Defending My Party, the Libe PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. ERICE REP. ERICE. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I rise for the purpose of defending my party, the Liberal Party, of which I am a proud member, from the malicious attacks being unleashed by forces committed to destroy the gains of President Aquino’s and the Liberal Party’s platform of Matuwid na Daan. Last week, Vice President Binay was quoted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer as chiding LP officials for sowing intrigue between him and President Aquino. Our colleague, Rep. Mar-Len Abigail S. Binay, was quoted by the Tribune as pointing to Malacañang and DILG Secretary Mar Roxas as the brains of the black propaganda against the Binays. Likewise, UNA Secretary General. Cong. Tobias “Toby” M. Tiangco, was quoted as saying that the palace and the Liberal Party have started waging a demolition job against the Binays by linking them to the PDAF scam. It will be recalled that a supposed “white paper” came out alleging that Rep. Mar-Len Abigail S. Binay used her pork barrel funds to finance political rallies and spent P16 million of her PDAF for vermiculture projects in Makati. She claimed that a “white paper” was being peddled to various media outlets to drag the Binays into the pork barrel scam. Though Representative Binay claimed earlier that this was the handiwork of two brothers from the Global City, I am wondering why she and Representative Tiangco are accusing the LP and the palace as the source of the so-called demolition job. As a member of the Liberal Party, I take exception to these accusations, they have no basis in truth and in fact, and I wonder why they are always accusing the Liberal Party whenever there are negative reports about the Binays and the UNA. Wala kaming alam sa “white paper” na iyan. Nalaman lamang namin nang ito ay lumabas sa pahayagan at sinasagot ng pamilya Binay at ng UNA kaakibat ang malisyosong pag-aakusa sa Liberal Party. Kasinungalingan poito, walang basehan. What the Binays must do is to explain whether there is truth to the allegations stated in the “white paper.” As public officials, they are duty-bound to answer valid issues and be transparent. Mr. Speaker, I was able to get hold of the press releases from the camp of Representative Binay and I believe that instead of accusing Sec. Mar Roxas, the palace and the Liberal Party of a demolition job, it is advisable for our colleague to satisfactorily explain these transactions. After all, public service is public trust and transparency is always part of good governance. Please allow me to explain, Mr. Speaker. The purported “white paper” allegedly details the anomalous transactions involving the PDAF in the Second District of Makati. So, as a fellow legislator, I gave Representative Binay the benefit of the doubt and did my own counterchecking of the details as reported in the newspapers. First of all, it is not denied that based on a COA finding, she indeed significantly exceeded her PDAF allocation for the year 2008 by P47 million when she received P117 million in Priority Development Assistance Fund. It is also not denied that in the years 2008 and 2009, Congresswoman Binay diverted a total of P12.6 million to an NGO by the name of Kasanib, which was co-founded by her father, Vice President Binay. G. Ispiker, hindi rin po itinatanggi na noong 2009, si Congresswoman Binay ay nagbigay ng halagang P15 milyon sa Gabay at Pag-asang Masa Foundation, isang NGO na kabilang sa mga palpak at pekeng mga organisasyon na iniulat ng COA, at kamakailan lamang ay inalisan ng akreditasyon ng Department of Agriculture dahil hindi na-liquidate ang mga pondong natanggap nito. Lalo pong hindi itinatanggi na gumastos ng P16 milyon mula sa PDAF ni Congresswoman Binay para sa vermiculture project sa Second District ng Makati. Bagama’t wala namang masama sa vermiculture project, lubhang nakapagtataka na ang pag-proproseso ng mga bulate sa isang highly ubanized city ay gagastusan ng P16 milyon. Hindi ko po alam kung may sapat pang lugar sa Makati upang epektibong makapag-proseso ng bulate. As an officer of the Liberal Party, I can categorically state that our grand old party has no participation in the supposed demolition job being claimed by Representative Binay. The Liberal Party’s obsession right now is to commit our fullest support to the philosophy of the Aquino administration which is Daang Matuwid. Our single-minded goal right now is to contribute to the realization of President Aquino’s legacy of good governance. We have no time to be preoccupied with useless black propaganda as the UNA accuses us of. Hindi ko po malalaman ang mga sinabi kong ito kung hindi po inakusahan ang Liberal Party na siyang nangunguna sa demolition job na ito. Ngayon po, ito po ang mukha ni Congressman Erice, base po sa mga COA records, base po sa mga DBM records, palagay ko po, obligasyon na ito ay ipaliwanag. G. Ispiker, kung susuriin po nating mabuti, sino na naman ang naiipit ngayon sa media? Sina Mar Roxas, Butch Abad, Jun Abaya, na mga pawang haligi ng Liberal Party. Ito ang mga taong wala naman talagang kinalaman sa mga iskandalong ibinibintang sa kanila. Walang mailabas na dokumento, walang mailabas na pruweba, puro galing sa bula ang mga paratang laban sa kanila. O, hindi po ba iyan ang tunay na demolition job? Walang dokumento. Walang pruweba. Walang ebidensiyang makapagpapatunay na ang mga taong ito ay sangkot sa malawakang korapsyon o paglustay ng pera ng bayan. Mga kaibigan ko po at kilala kong personal sina Mar Roxas, Butch Abad at Jun Abaya, at kaya kong sabihin, at ngayon nga ay tahasan kong sinasabi sa harapan ninyong lahat, ang mga taong ito ay trabaho lamang ang inaatupag. Sila ay nagpupursige upang matulungan si Presidente Aquino na malutas ang mga problema ng ating bansa. Malaki ang kontribusyon nila sa Daang Matuwid at sigurado ako na wala silang panahon para magkalat ng mga akusasyon at magtago sa likod ng “white paper.” Mr. Speaker, please notice that while Representative Binay and Representative Tiangco are blaming the Liberal Party for this supposed smear campaign, Vice President Binay, as if on cue, has declared that President Aquino was not involved in all these. The suggestion is that the President is separate from, and not a part of, the Liberal Party. They are insulting the President, because both the government and the LP are being managed by the President. He is in complete control of the Liberal Party. Even si Secretary Mar Roxas, may delicadeza po kaya po nag-leave as LP President. The obvious purpose, of course, is to allow Vice President Binay to continue enjoying the perks and privileges of being a Cabinet member while his family and party-mates are given the go signal to attack President Aquino’s political party and his political allies. Even Congresswoman Binay and the rest of the UNA Congressmen are members of the majority coalition except for one, but UNA keeps on hitting its coalition partner in the Lower House. There is an old saying, ”You cannot have your cake and eat it too.” Hence, Vice President Binay, his family and his UNA party-mates cannot enjoy the benefits of being with the Aquino administration while at the same time having the privilege of maligning the Liberal Party, of which President Aquino is the titular head. Panahon na po, G. Ispiker, upang ilabas ni Vice President Jejomar Binay ang tunay niyang kulay at huwag mamangka sa dalawang ilog. Kakampi ba siya ng administrasyon o pinuno ba siya ng oposisyon? Panahon na para ipakita niya ang kanyang ipinangangalandakang magaling na liderato. Kung siya ay tunay na kakampi ng administrasyong Aquino, dapat ay utusan niya ang kanyang mga anak at mga kapartido na tantanan ang pagbanat sa Malakanyang at sa partido ng ating Pangulo. Ngunit kung siya ay tunay na lider ng oposisyon, dapat ay panindigan niya ito, agad siyang magbitiw sa Gabinete, upang araw-araw niyang mabanatan ang mga nakikita niyang mali sa administrasyong Aquino at sa Liberal Party. Si Congressman Tiangco po, hindi po tumanggap ng anumang puwesto dahil ayaw niyang sumama sa majority party. Hinahangaan ko po siya diyan. Pinaninindigan niya ang tunay niyang kulay. Mr. Speaker, the time has come for the Liberal Party to defend itself from the two-faced attacks of Vice President Binay and his UNA party-mates. It is time to expose Vice President Binay for what he truly is, the epitome of the opportunistic trapo as best exemplified when he announced in Manila a ceasefire in Zamboanga, preempting and outstaging the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, my dear colleagues. .

    Arroyo moved to save Boracay; Aquino made it a cesspool BY RIGOBERTO D. TIGLAO ON MANILA TIMES, APRIL 4, 2018 OPINION ON PAGE ONE AFTER more than two years of study and on-the-ground investigation by various Cabinet members, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo made a bold move to prevent Boracay from further environmental degradation— even if it would cost her very dearly politically. She issued in May 2006, based on the recommendation of her environment and natural resources secretary Angelo Reyes, Proclamation 1064, the authorization for which was based on the 1936 Public Land Act and Marcos’ 1975 Presidential Decree 705. Arroyo’s proclamation classified 40 percent of Boracay’s 1,028 hectares as “forestland” and 60 percent as “agricultural land.” The proclamation provided detailed geographic coordinates where the forest and agricultural lands were. Aquino and Roxas threw to the dustbin her move to save the island. That meant that the forestland cannot be privately owned, and any resort or residence there should be kicked out. Yet only last month did the DENR uncover the fact that at least 25 percent of these are now occupied by high-end hotels and resorts. The proclamation also meant that areas declared as agricultural may be privately owned, but only after the state first declares it as alienable, with private individuals having to apply for original registration by homestead or sales patent. Yet nearly all of the areas in Boracay that are clearly not part of the forests, especially beach-front areas, are now claimed and occupied by private individuals and corporations, even the Singaporean-owned Shangri-la Hotel.

EUROPEAN POLICY BRIEF COMPETING INTEGRATIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The Erosion of Liberalism and the Rise of Duterte in the Philippines This brief situates the rise and continued popularity of President Rodrigo Duterte within an intellectual history of Philippine liberalism. First, the history of the Philippine liberal tradition is examined beginning in the nineteenth century before it became the dominant mode of elite governance in the twentieth century. It then argues that “Dutertismo” (the dominant ideology and practice in the Philippines today) is both a reaction to, and an assault on, this liberal tradition. It concludes that the crisis brought about by the election of Duterte presents an opportunity for liberalism in the Philippines to be reimagined to confront the challenges faced by this country of almost 110 million people.

  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.

Rodrigo Duterte stood on a strong ‘law and order’ platform , pledging to transfer to the national level the tough approach to criminals he had taken over the years in Davao – especially those involved in the drugs trade – which critics argue extended to encouraging a ‘shoot-to-kill’ policy by both the security forces and private vigilantes. He said he would wipe out crime across the country within six months of taking office. Since the new president was inaugurated at the end of June 2016, security issues have dominated the political scene. The most recent official figure for the number of people killed in the context of the ‘war on drugs since President Duterte took office is just over 3,100 people, about one-third of whom have been killed by the police.

    Social Ethics Society Journal of Applied Philosophy Special Issue, December 2018, pp. 181-206 The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) and ABS-CBN through the Prisms of Herman and Chomsky’s “Propaganda Model”: Duterte’s Tirade against the Media and vice versa Menelito P. Mansueto Colegio de San Juan de Letran [email protected] Jeresa May C. Ochave Ateneo de Davao University [email protected] Abstract This paper is an attempt to localize Herman and Chomsky’s analysis of the commercial media and use this concept to fit in the Philippine media climate. Through the propaganda model, they introduced the five interrelated media filters which made possible the “manufacture of consent.” By consent, Herman and Chomsky meant that the mass communication media can be a powerful tool to manufacture ideology and to influence a wider public to believe in a capitalistic propaganda. Thus, they call their theory the “propaganda model” referring to the capitalist media structure and its underlying political function. Herman and Chomsky’s analysis has been centered upon the US media, however, they also believed that the model is also true in other parts of the world as the media conglomeration is also found all around the globe. In the Philippines, media conglomeration is not an alien concept especially in the presence of a giant media outlet, such as, ABS-CBN. In this essay, the authors claim that the propaganda model is also observed even in the less obvious corporate media in the country, disguised as an independent media entity but like a chameleon, it © 2018 Menelito P.

  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.
