Militants slam bogus government programs and puppet partylist Akbayan
San Pablo, Laguna – Militants led by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Southern Tagalog (Bayan-ST) met Team PNoy’s proclamation rally with a mobilization today at 1 o’clock in the afternoon in the middle of the program of Noynoy Aquino and his crony, Akbayan.
The militants bear streamers and plackards, “Noynoy Aquino, tuta, pasista, pahirap sa masa!” as they march nearer into the program grounds.
“We are here to denounce Aquino of the lies he has said about the increasing economy of the country,” Rjei Manalo, Secretary General of Gabriela Southern Tagalog explains. “The country has experienced nothing but cost-cutting measures of social services until the Aquino government eventually liberates itself of its obligation to the people.”
The militants slam Aquino of his “daang matuwid”, saying that it has brought nothing but “hunger and death to their families”.
Manalo added, “Demolition ran rampant in urban areas, leaving the urban poor to force evacuate themselves from their homes, prices continue to hike while the people’s wages and unstable livelihood are barely enough to keep up with its increase and farmers are forced to make do with the bogus land reform of Aquino’s administration. Is this what they call progress? It is no wonder why the poverty rate in the country increases yearly.”
Present in the Proclamation Rally are Aquino’s lackeys, Akbayan, where Bayan-ST condemns of Akbayan’s participation again in the 2013 elections. “Akbayan should have no more place in the senate or in the house of representatives this coming elections; other than their members have already positions in the government offices, but Akbayan has always been misleading the people from bogus land reforms and cover-up programs of the Aquino government while taking advantage of the country’s funds.”Erica Chiong, Deputy Secretary of Bayan-ST said, referring to the controversial Coco Levy Funds.
“Aquino has promised in the previous elections to punish the corrupt government officials yet Gloria Arroyo remains out of bars and lacks assertion of giving justice to the crimes Arroyo and Jovito Palparan committed to the people.” Chiong explains. “Instead of doing so, Aquino’s government continues what his predecessors have done – fascism, anti-people policies and negligence to the needs of the Filipinos.”
Earlier in his term, Aquino has said that there were no human rights violation cases under his term.”Aquino has never admitted having any human rights violation cases under his term. His Oplan Bayanihan is not different from the previous counterinsurgency programs of the previous regimes. The military deployed in provinces has caused more threat to the residents in the area and human rights violations as well. And what’s bothersome is that Aquino has no plans in addressing this issue.”
Chiong added, “This coming elections, the people don’t need another promise; they need a change of politics.”
