Shut up and work!

WE have a question for Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño.

You see, Casiño railed against the House of Representative as being dominated by landlords, warlords, and pawns of big business.

This he did exactly on the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the lower chamber of Congress.

If so, Mr. Casiño, why are you there with these same landlords, warlords, and pawns of big business you loath so much?

That rich irony struck us when we heard him saying his piece over a radio talk show yesterday.

By the way, do you not come from a family which marginally qualifies as a member of the elite in this country?

Don’t you think your utterances make you a traitor to your own class and a slight on the reputation and integrity of a few good, brilliant, and truly patriotic members of the House?

The name of your party list organization means “country first,” but recent events and Bayan Muna activities suggest no patriotic agenda but an ideological one.

Even your party’s means and methods of campaigning hewed closer to the good, old-fashioned ways of traditional politics — large and expensive streamers, print ads, TV spots, and even using the electronic medium.

As a leftist campus youth leader, you attacked the aptly called lower House outside the halls of the Batasan, Now you are attacking its integrity from within as a nominee of Bayan Muna.

As an elected nominee, your main job is to craft meaningful legislation that squares with the literal meaning of your party list organization.

Now, stop blabbering away worn-out leftist rhetoric and do your job.

That’s what we taxpayers are paying you for.

The partylist system has lost its meaning and purpose IMO. Except for a very few, most are not really representing the interests of their sectors. Napanood ko sa imbestigador bago election na meron yung mga partylist reps na naka CRV pa na bago..etc.

While no one has the right to deny them such perks, para sa akin hindi magandang tignan kung ang ni re represent mo eh mga under priveleged.

Yung mga na elect din na leftists partylists representatives eh palagi mong makikita sa kalye nag ra rally when they were already given the chance in congress to air their gripes and help craft laws. It is their right to rally and speak out on the streets but if they don't believe in the system that they are currently in right now, they might as well quit.

well what do you expect from these leftists purveyor of chaos? ang Oso bihisan mo man ng barong tagalog o suit at hayaang makapasok sa kongreso, Oso pa rin yan(di ko po sinasabing animal' siya symbol kasi ng communists ang bear

).

anyway, party list votes has lost its purpose. a lot of these party list groups does not truly represent the sector they are supposed to represent.

coz doctors clean up their mess

from sideswiping pedestrians, to raising the hi-blood of other motorists stuck in traffic to polluting our lungs

alam naman ni Teddy Casino ang solusyon sa problema ng mamamayan, pero instead na doing it by himself. sisigawan nya yun mga pulitiko na umayos kayo kasi deep in his heart mga pultiko din gagawa ng gusto nya

instant taga-utos baga

Not to offend anyone or defend Teddy (I known him personally from college days - he was 2 or 4 years younger and we do share the same ideology)....but rather to shed some "possible light" why he probably do those things that some of you find irritatingly wrong or right...

...If so, Mr. Casiño, why are you there with these same landlords, warlords, and pawns of big business you loath so much?

He probably was applying one of the art of war strategies - "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"...

..By the way, do you not come from a family which marginally qualifies as a member of the elite in this country?

In deed he might not be a member of the elite... but he is not from a poor family either. I'd say most of his transformation probably occured during his stay in UPLB. I have to say the "idealogy/ies" he believes on have no boundaries - be rich or poor....

...The name of your party list organization means “country first,” but recent events and Bayan Muna activities suggest no patriotic agenda but an ideological one.

Care to expound which ideological move/s that they/he do, suggest that they were not patriotic enough? May be we can shed some light kung alin ang tingin natin na pangit at mali or alin OR yung mukhang pangit at mali pero will eventually lead to a better future.

...well what do you expect from these leftists purveyor of chaos?

If you are not a "martial law baby"... it would be very difficult to see/differentiate a leftist from somebody who see something that is right or wrong.

You see, during the "martial law" days, if you speak anything negative or against Marcos or even his "rulings" will initiate possible pagkakakulong or even immediate death (salvaging). Life during those days was soooo difficult... and we wouldn't have our current freedom if all those "leftist and purveyor of chaos" have conceded from the Marcoses during those times.

The root and beginings of the known "EDSA Revolution" didn't happen nung 1986... it started on what we term "first quarter storm" and that was early 1970's.

A lot of what you call "leftist" actually evolved (mutated

) during that time. A lot also died, gone missing and never found and some are still up to now a "kalaban ng lipunan" in the bundoks.

NOBODY wanted that thing to happen but... **** happens.

I know some ideologies are "extremely" unright and bad... but not all of them. And you do have to give credit that kung walang yung mga events na yun (mga leftist and purveyors of chaos na yun), the marcoses are still probably ruling our country.

...a lot of these party list groups does not truly represent the sector they are supposed to represent.

SADLY, a very true fact...and I hope bayan muna do not succummed to become one them (as what most of you sees them now)...

..laging nangunguna sa mga rally against the government now that they were given the chance to make changes wala namang magawa din

Note that their vote is not that big... in fact the majority of the congress are still "lobbyist" and people with their own agenda on their mind.

It would be like one person discussing on a rowdy crowd of 200 people of different point of view as theirs... I'm sure mahirap makakuha ng attention sa ganun situasyon.

To accuse them that they are not doing anything, may be you might want to check these issues:
1) if they didn't produced any batas during their past tenure,
2) if they more absent rather than present during congress sessions,
3) if they were sleeping during the sessions,
4) if they used their PORK BARREL for their own personal gains,
5) if they have abused those "8" plates,
6) if they have multiple body guards na kupal and huge convoys of SUVs when they travel around the city
7) if they more often "abroad" on trips that are not even official.
8) if they have "balimbing" ideologies
etc, etc....

These are my own point of views on the issue at hand and I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes and offended him/her/them in my post. :peace:
