Of fishing boats and fishing votes

Of fishing boats and fishing votes Mauro Gia Samonte The media continue to sizzle with the Julian Felipe Reef controversy, and it has begun to vex me no end. Bobi Tiglao calls the narrative of Chinese maritime militia ships intruding into Philippine territory a hoax. An innocent story in my tabloid, Pwersa, narrates a meeting between the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Philippine military in which the Chinese had clarified the mooring of those ships as taking refuge from bad weather and assured their Philippine counterparts that those vessels would leave when the weather cleared. But a few dozen stayed behind to resume fishing. And this is where Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin Jr. made mountains out of molehills, calling the event aggression.

Foul-mouthed, disrespecful Parlade slammed for calling senators stupid

Published April 23, 2021, 3:51 PM “We will not stoop to his level.” Senator Joel Villanueva had this to say Friday, April 23, after Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade, Jr. called lawmakers “stupid” for pushing to defund the government’s anti-insurgency task force over its red-tagging and profiling of community pantry volunteers. (Senate of the Philippines / Facebook) “We’ll not stoop down to this level of pettiness. Name-calling will not put food on anyone’s table,” he said on Twitter. The Senate, he said, has the responsibility to ensure that government funds the peoples’ money are being spent for public interest. Villanueva pitched for the defundng of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), after Parlade, its spokesperson, likened Ana Patricia Non to “Satan’s apple”, in an attempt to justify their claim that organizers of community pantries are linked to communist rebels.

Sotto nixes calls to defund NTF-ELCAC

Senate President Vicente Sotto III (Joseph Vidal / Senate PRIB / FILE PHOTO) Sotto said this may put a strain on the government’s efforts to fight the country’s insurgency problem. “I believe the NTF-ELCAC program is good. Defunding it would give back the gains of government to the rebels,” Sotto said in a statement. “We should not be hasty in blaming a good program because of irresponsible statements from some officials. Replace the officials instead,” the Senate leader said. In separate statements, Senators Joel Villanueva, Sherwin Gatchalian and Nancy Binay sought a review of the P19-billion fund for the task force under the 2021 national budget.
