To have a clean election, bury them all!

Oh my God! After what happened in Maguindanao, contending politicians are now closely watching each other’s movements. A would-be mayor approached me and asked that he be given a media interview. He wants to expose something.

I asked him: “what it is?” He said he wants the media and the public to know that his political enemy has purchased a backhoe, fitted with a cement mixer!

Ha. . . Nako ba ug unsa ang iyang expose’. Ngano man diay ug mipalit ug backhoe iyang kontra? Over-priced ba? But I cannot blame this politician for his nightmares. A backhoe was used in the Maguindanao Massacre to dig a burial hole so big that even the cars of candidates in a convoy and those riding in it were thrown and covered with earth, all together.

Natural, makalilisang jod. Espoko mo nang ang kontra ga-andam ug backhoe. Naa pa’y cement mixer. Morag ang plano cementohon pa jod ang buho . .hehe.

But I gave him an advice, that he should also buy a backhoe and start digging a bigger hole, – for his enemies. I want to see the day that politicians kill each other, malubong silas buho tanan!

Ang mga politico, pare-pareho lang naman silang lahat, diba?

Except Bohol Governor Aumentado, - bahala’g dika motoo.

As member of the media, I deeply mourn the brutal killing of my colleagues in the Maguindanao Massacre. Only a sick mind can ever think of doing such thing.

Man’s thirst for power has now come to a very horrifying height. Dreadful but true, those inflicted with such disease are all around us today.

Look at greedy politicians who want to perpetuate themselves. They convert government into a family corporation; their wife is mayor or in congress, children, relatives, including their dogs and cats are in high positions of government.

Kon naas puwesto, dina bation ug uwaw. Bullet-proof ang nawong. Magsakay sa mahalong sakyanan, mag-patukod mansion, magpa eskuela sa ilang mga anak in exclusive schools. Gatoo sila nga wa masayod ang katawhan nga kaniadto, nag-prendag mga yuta sa paglansar. Pangawkaw diay ang tuyo aron madato.

These politicians suck the blood of taxpayers. Not contented, they also devour the carcasses of the poor and the dying.

Now, let me ask. Where was God when the innocent, including women in the Maguindanao Massacre, cried out for his help?

Gibiyaan naba ta sa Ginoo? Gipul-an naba siyas atong kabuang?

Kaniadto, bisan gilansang siyas krus, isog siyang misaad nga mobalik aron paghukom sa mga buhi ug patay. Asa naman siya?

My God, natakdan nabakas mga politico nga maayo modiskorso, di motuman?

Like MacArthur, you promised: “I shall return!” Ayaw na tawon pagdugay. Balik na. Now na …kay eleksiyon na raba pod!

Think of this: “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”
