Chiz consistent on stand vs re-impositionof death penalty

Quidnuncs

chito dela torre

Filipinos here and abroad, and

citizens of all democratic govern-

ments around Earth, must take

notice of the fact that Philippine

senator Chiz Escudero is consistent

on his strong stand against the re-

imposition of the death penalty as

a result of honest processes in the

Philippine judicial system.

Chiz, who chairs the Senate

committee on justice and human

rights, said last January 7, 2013:The death penalty will not stop

miscreants from carrying out their

crimes. I have always said that it is

still the certainty of punishment, not

its severity, that will deter crimes.

Even if the death penalty is

in place, criminals, especially the

moneyed ones, will still nd crea-

heating and political violence during elec-

tions are practices that are hard to break.

Before every elections, various groups come

together for a covenant to work for honest, order-

ly and peaceful elections (HOPE).

Today, a peace covenant will be signed in Cal-

bayog City in Samar, considered one of the coun-

trys hotspots, by opposing political individualsand groups to be facilitated by the Department of

the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Phil-

ippine National Police (PNP) and the Commission

on Elections (Comelec).

In the past elections, the biggest perpetrators

of violence are political kingpins, who did not sign

the covenant, and the New Peoples Army (PNP),

which is raising funds by extorting permit-to-

campaign fees from candidates.

The PNP reported that the number of private

armed groups in Eastern Visayas had been

whittled down to two but with loose firearms

still proliferating and few suspects being ar-

rested. The potential for violence, however re-

mains.

The Comelec, for its part, must do more

than make a best efforts pledge to conduct

credible elections. But among government

agencies, the Comelec is one of the most set

in its ways, resistant to reforms, impervious to

criticisms of incompetence and complicity in

cheating. Even eith automated elections, the

public is unlikely to see any change in the way

the Comelec does business.

Still, hope springs eternal. The vigilance

of various sectors, including those who are

not signatories to the covenant, can still deter

fraud. Every vote saved from cheaters can still

make a difference.

of the law. The likes of Jo-

vito Palparan, charged with

a non-bailable offense, the

Reyes brothers of Palawan

environmental advocate,

and Deln Lee, said to have

bilked thousands of poor

housing aspirants, where are

they? They can afford to hire

good, expensive lawyers to

keep them out of jail and

outside the reach of the law.

Sen. Escudero sup-

ports the position of Phil-

ippine President Benigno

Noynoy S. Aquino III

who also does not see any

reason to reinstate the death

penalty. The senator, who

voted to remove the death

penalty from the countrysstatute books in 1990, said

THE REVEALER OF GOD

Mortal eyes can see only those things that are mortal. For instance,you cannot see your own spirit; the refore, how can you behold its Crea-tor? When the spiritual eyes are opened, then surely you can see theone who is Spirit, and all spiritual realities as well. Who can open ourspiritual eyes to see God? It is Jesus Christ. We know that the Sonof God has come and has given us understanding to know him who istrue (1 Jn 5:20). St John the Baptist conrmed that Jesus Christ wassent by God to reveal him as he is, when he said to his own discipleswho complained about the baptism by Jesus, No one can receive any-thing except what is given him from heaven(Jn 3:27). It is Jesus whogives us not only the spiritual eyes to see God, but also a heart to ex-perience Gods presence. Take a piece of charcoal: however much youmay wash it, its blackness will not disappear; but let the re enter intoit and its dark colour vanishes. So also, when we receive the re of theSpirit of Christ, all the blackness of evil is driven away from our heartand thus we are able to experience Gods presence. How fortunate are

we who have been baptized by the re of Christ to be able to recognizeand experience the true living God! This gift of awareness of God is nott be hoarded and kept to ourselves. We are to share this gift with others.If people refuse to listen to us, we can still pray for them to the Father.(His Word is Life by Vima Dasan, S.J. published by Paulines.

An article of the Manila

Bulletin issue of January 9,

entitled President Aquino

Predicted To Fall reprint-

ed in Yahoo News online,

fascinates me.

Psychic Danny Atienza

predicts the president will

fall from power because

of inghting of his men.

Likewise deposed Presi-

dent Joseph Estrada is pre-

dicted to lose bid for mayor

of Manila, and Vice Presi-

dent Jejomar Jojo Binay

to win presidential election

come 2016.

He also predicts many

who voted for the Repro-

ductive Health Bill will be

losers come 2013 election.

Does Atienzas predic-

tion in accordance with theWord of God? Is Atienza

one of those fullling the

prophecy in the last days

false prophets will arise?

Reading the Book of

Matthew, chapter 24, verse

11: And many false proph-

ets will arise and mislead

many... A warning for true

Christians should heed.

However, there is calcu-

lation or guess sometimes

Some calculation is based

on statistics or history that

becomes a forecast. Likeweather forecasting some

became accurate and some

miss.

Take the case of Es-

trada challenging incum-

bent Manila city mayor

Alfredo Lim. The predic-

tion Estrada to lose may be

based on Lims four times

winning the seat of mayor

of Manila. First- 1992-

1995; Second-1995-1998;

Third- 2007-2010; and

Fourth-2010 to present.

will deter crime.

While the senator ac-

knowledged that criminals

have become emboldened to

perpetuate grisly crimes, it is

still the certainty of punish-

ment and not the kind and

nature of punishment thatwill deter the commission on

crimes.

Let no one go above or

around the law. No sacred

cows, apply the law to those

who are guilty, have been

found guilty. We have to im-

prove and perfect our coun-

trys criminal justice system,

it should be strictly applied to

make it valid and credible,

Escudero said.

It will be recalled, like-

wise that during his incum-

bency, on January 3, 2007,

then Sen. Aquilino Nene Q.

Pimentel Jr. (PDP-Laban)insisted that return of death

penalty is not a solution to

extra-judicial killings. He

said that the Philippine gov-

ernment had just passed the

law abolishing the death

penalty and although he per-

sonally did not see any con-

nection, let me say that in a

democracy, other views must

be allowed to surface and dis-

cussed publicly and openly,

so that all sides of the issue

are considered. Pimentel

maintained that the solution

Could it be true is the paramount reaction on prophecy.

It may be either coincidence or facts as the bases of cal-

culation of the future events.

National Defense Orlando

Mercado while he was the

Secretary of Department of

Interior and Local Govern-

ment. He was perceived to

be a traitor; hence Atienza

won with a majority of

some 80,000 votes.

Estrada probably in re-

venge to Lim throws his hat

inside the political arena of

Manila for the rst time. It

should be noted that Lim

has been mayor of Manila

for several years. His ree-

lection bid this time has

an edge over Estrada. That

could be the basis of the

prediction that Estrada to

lose his bid.

On Binay to win the

presidential election may

have been based on thevotes he got over DILG

Manuel Roxas. Binay has

already proven he is liked

by the voters rather than

Roxas.

The present trend of the

Aquino administration go-

ing after those whom they

had clashed with in the past

election is a factor in favor

of Binay. Filipino culture is

known to be sympathizers

to underdog or in Cebua-

no dinaug-daog.

As to the president to

fall because of inghtingamong his men may have

been based on some of the

people around Aquino are

men of Binay and Estrada.

The suspension of Cebu

province Governor Gwen-

dolyn Garcia and other al-

lies of UNA party may be a

mole to trigger the guess of

Psychic Atienza.

A book Reasoning

from the scriptures, page

132 denes prophets: In-

dividuals and organizations

proclaiming messages that

they attribute to a superhu-man source but that do not

originate with the true God

and are not in harmony with

his revealed will.

Prophecies by men may

or may not happen, so it

should not be relied upon,

especially those who are

now vying for an elected

position in the govern-

ment. There are predictions

done by some psychic that

Cebu City Mayor Michael

Rama will win the coming

election, but Rama merely

thanks the forecast. He does

not believe in prediction,

instead, he said increased

effort is the key to winning

the election.

A psychic in front of the

television camera predicted

Actor Richard Gomez willnot win the contest for may-

or of Ormoc City, while

his wife, Congresswoman

Lucy Torres-Gomez will

win. Could it be true?

Some say during elec-

tion period there are many

ways to condition the mind

of the electorate and one

of it is prediction. It may

or may not come true. The

only truth in election is

there will be a winner and

loser, the latter to cry and

sometimes become the

cause to speedy death dueto emotional heartache.

How about you? Have

you been guessing your

candidate will win? Asked

rst yourself, is it based on

statistics, history and real-

ity? (Feedback welcome,

to the upsurge of crimes is

not by executing convicted

criminals but by upgrading

the efciency of law enforce-

ment agencies and the courts

in solving crime cases and

in punishing the offenders.

In many European coun-

tries where there is no death

penalty, he said criminality

remains low because of theswiftness and decisiveness

by which murderers, kidnap-

pers and other crime perpe-

trators are tracked down and

thrown into jail by the police

and meted out penalized by

the courts.

Turning back the hands

of time, in January, 2008, the

country saw Sen. Escudero

also telling the nation via

the media about his objection

to proposals for the Philip-

pine Executive Department

to adopt a national ID sys-

tem. He said: Hindi ako

sang-ayon sa national ID napinapanukala nilang lalag-

yan ng dog tag ang bawat

Pilipino. Kunsaka-sakaling

isusulong nila ang isang na-

tional ID, gamitin na lamang

nila yung dating ID na ini-

issue tulad ng Philhealth,

tulad ng SSS, ng GSIS, ng

drivers license. Huwag nang

dagdagan pa ang gastos ni

Juan dela Cruz at hindi ako

sang-aayon na ang panguna-

hing layunin ng national ID

ay national security. Dapat

ang pangunahing layunin ay

serbisyo publiko kayat kung

mamimili lamang tayo ng IDpara maging nationa ID, sana

Philhealth na an gating gami-

tin upang sa gayon nakapag-

bigay na tayo ng serbisyong

pangkalusugan sa ating mga

kababayan, napagsilbihan na

rin ang interes n gating mga

national security advisers na

magkaroon ng ID ang bawat

Pilipino. The national iden-

tication system one to be

imposed on every Filipino

citizen, was for a long time a

top-tune proposition thought

of by the intelligence-minded

Armed Forces of the Philip-

pines and Philippine Nation-al Police. Result: that idea

was attacked by all sectors,

and hence, abandoned.

Like the objectionable na-

tional ID system, the issue on

death penalty will now have

to be moot and academic.

Just a by the way. On

March 12, 2009, it was pub-

lished that based on a Pulse

Asia survey Chiz ranked sec-

ond or number two in a list

of possible presidential can-

didates for the 2010 presi-

dential elections. Chiz just

turned 40 in October of 2008

and was on his rst term assenator, a top legislative po-

sition to which he was elect-

ed after he closed his 3 terms

as member of the house of

representatives, to become

not just a favorite of the rst

district of Sorsogon but also

of the whole Philippines, es-

pecially among the youths.

In that survey, then vice-pres.

Noli de Castro topped the

list. Now, only last January

5, a press release posted in

the Philippine Senate website

said:

With the campaign pe-

riod for this years midterm

polls just a month away, Sen.

Francis Chiz Escudero willgo into the hustings carrying

the all-important top ranking

among 84 candidates, based

on a number of year-end sur-

veys.

Escudero ranked rst in

the latest survey conducted

by polling agency StratPO-

LLS conducted from Dec. 5

to 14 last year. Before that, he

also ranked rst in the Nov.

10-23 survey of pollster Pulse

Asia.

The senator likewise

topped the Social Weather

Stations survey conducted

from Aug. 31 to Sept. 7 lastyear. Since May 2012, Es-

cudero has not ranked lower

than second in the polls, run-

ning neck-to-neck with fel-

low reelectionist Sen. Loren

Legarda.

Escudero is the only in-

dependent candidate thus far

in the top 12, although former

Movies and Television Rat-

ings and Classication Board

chairperson Grace Poe, also

an independent candidate,

made the biggest leap, barg-

ing into the Magic 12 last

month from 15th place.

***

Is it possible that what

we so admired in Cory Aqui-

no is something that resides

in each of us all along?

Imagine a country where

each citizen is honest, obeys

the law and is never at the

mercy of shady law enforc-ers.

A country where citizens

show their trademark bayani-

han qualities at all times, not

only when disasters strike.

A country whose citi-

zens take care of other citi-

zens, in whatever way pos-

sible.

Imagine if we do live up

to that ideal that my mother

exemplifed. Her unique

brand of heroism and sac-

rifce could fnally have

younger, stronger and more

creative versions that could

only come from those of usshe had left behind.

Only through our partic-

ipation, and our willingness

to live by her example, can

we make her legacy mean-

ingful and able to effect the

changes we want today. -

from the speech of Benigno

Noynoy S. Aquino III, then

Senator, during the 77th birth

anniversary of her mother,

President Corazon C. Aqui-

no, on January 24, 2010 at

the EDSA Shrine.

SENAOR Miriam Deen-sor Santiago asked the publicon Friday to le a petition withthe Supreme Court question-ing the constitutionality othe distribution o huge sumo money to high ocials atyearend using agency savings.

Santiago said she wouldlove to argue her case beorethe magistrates but she mightbe called anytime or duty atthe International CriminalCourt based in Te Nether-lands.

I hope that a lawyersgroup would le such a peti-tion under the principle otransparency, she told report-ers.

Te senator has been en-gaged in a verbal tussle withSenate President Juan PonceEnrile aer he gave P1.6 mil-lion per senator last monthexcept to our senators San-tiago, siblings Alan Peter andPia Cayetano, and Senator An-tonio rillanes IV.

Te our senators haddisagreements with Enrile ona host o issues, including thecontroversial reproductivehealth law.

rillanes even advocatedor Enriles ouster as SenatePresident, a post he has beenholding since November 2008.

Enrile has denied usingSenate savings to cling to hisposition as he maintained thatthe money will be used ormaintenance and other op-erating expenses MOOE oeach senator. Te use o unds

will also undergo liquidation.Santiago had said these

savings are distributed amonghigh ocials but at the expenseo lling up vacancies and buy-ing needed oce supplies orservices or capital equipment.

Tis practice continues

to this day, she said, becauseCOA auditors are either araido politicians or maybe theyhave become recipients othese savings.

She also challenged theCommission on Audit COAto investigate Enriles actionand upload on its website thetotal annual income o eachsenator and representative.

When January begins andthe Senate gives money to thesenators, theres money ortheir MOOE, so why wouldyou give them additionalMOOE at the end o the year?Tat is very clear. It is evidentproo that this is simply a guise-- a disguise in act -- or giv-ing money to the senators, shesaid. (SUNNEX)
