When Media is The Tyrant – Postscript

Postscripts June 11, 2016

UN Rapporteur Prof. Christof Heyns, race: European but hails from South Africa (Afrikaans) issued statements against the Philippines to press the point of respecting members of media, “stop instigating deadly violence.” Professor David Kaye, from the United States has toured the world teaching about international law and denounces the Philippines incoming president’s supposedly giving permission to kill journalists.

Journalists’ killings: UN experts urge Philippines president-elect to stop instigating deadly violence

GENEVA (6 June 2016) – Two United Nations independent experts on summary executions, and on freedom of expression today urged Philippines president-elect Rodrigo Duterte to stop instigating deadly violence immediately. The experts strongly condemned Mr. Duterte’s recent statements suggesting that journalists are not exempt for assassination.

Speaking at a press conference, Mr. Duterte reportedly stated that most journalists killed in the country have done something wrong. ‘You won’t be killed if you don’t do anything wrong,’ the President-elect said, suggesting that victims were partly to blame for their fate.

“A message of this nature amounts to incitement to violence and killing, in a nation already ranked as the second-deadliest country for journalists,” said the UN Special Rapporteur on summary executions, Cristof Heyns. “These comments are irresponsible in the extreme, and unbecoming of any leader, let alone someone who is to assume the position of the leader of a country that calls itself democratic.”

For the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom opinion and expression, David Kaye, “justifying the killing of journalists on the basis of how they conduct their professional activities can be understood as a permissive signal to potential killers that the murder of journalists is acceptable in certain circumstances and would not be punished.”

“This position is even more disturbing when one considers that Philippines is still struggling to ensure accountability to notorious cases of violence against journalists, such as the Maguindanao massacre,” the human rights expert added.

Mr. Duterte is further reported to have questioned the legal guarantees to journalists who are perceived to have made defamatory comments. ‘That can’t be just freedom of speech. The constitution can no longer help you if you disrespect a person,’ the President-elect stated.

“Such provocative messages indicate to any person who is displeased by the work of a journalist or an activist, for example, that they can attack or kill them without fear of sanction,” Mr. Kaye stressed.

The President-elect has also been reported as promising to pay bounties to police and military officials for every drug lord they turn in. ‘I’m not saying that you kill them, but the order is dead or alive,” Mr. Duterte reportedly said in a televised news conference.

“Talk of ‘dead or alive’ has no role to play in any state that claims to uphold human rights in law enforcement,” Special Rapporteur Heyns stressed, while recalling the limits imposed by international instruments on the conduct of law enforcement forces.

When the people of the Philippines suddenly saw a fake president rammed into their throats, the United Nations did not say anything about the rights of the people not to have a mentally aberrant child-man as president who was never elected by the majority but only by machines.

The entire Filipino nation, absent the members of media who have lucrative careers, suffered for the last 6 years because of this abnormal and corrupted turn of this great nation’s history.

UN is explicitly mum about the fake regime’s absolute immersion in corruption. The PDAF and Malampaya Scandals. The Butch Abad diversion of enormous funds to mysterious destinations on the behest of the old HYAT 10 Group and their deranged leader.

Was the UN involved in this sinister installation, but of course it will not confess. What else is new.

Did the media indulge itself in a campaign to discredit this fake poseur acting as president? It did not dare because most of the owners of media are joined at the chest and abdomen to the fake regime.

When the government did not allow aid to reach the victims of Yolanda, UN did not say a word about Aquino.

Even the foreign donations for Yolanda was transported by airplane to a small district in Switzerland – is it Lichstenstein – by the abnormal boy-man himself and his political adviser Llamas who got himself a brand new Swiss girl friend and dumped Riza Hontiveros. UN is strangely quiet about all these. Despite the worldwide reach of its intelligence superstructure and its very headquarters being in Geneva itself. Perhaps it was in cahoots with the pretend President The Joker?

Neither did it condemn Aquino’s resolve to push through with the Mamasapano affair that led to the Massacre of tens of PNP Special Action Forces members. Neither did UN even lift a finger to prevent an international incident between China and the Philippines during the Quirino Grandstand Massacre. Why?

This time, the president has not even taken his seat at the Office, UN is already increasing the crescendo of the destabilization effort in order for the devious interest groups to accelerate their agenda of a coup d’ grace. From the UN Rapporteurs now to the disgraceful head of the fiendish UN itself, they are all throwing tantrums, in the spirit of destabilization. Short of just saying we are at War with the Philippines (except with the disgusting narcopolitical Liberal Party and its hideous satan-worshipping elements.)

Recently the drug syndicate-linked Liberal Party and Smartmatic just finished committing another massive fraud during the May 2016 election and post election period. The UN is incredibly at peace with this, thus in its perceived great might, giving full credence to the fabric of lies the narcopolitical Liberal Party, COMELEC, Smart Magic is spinning to delude the people that a fake vice president has again been rammed into the throats of the Filipino people. For what end? For them to prolong once again the agony suffered by the masses since Cory Aquino? No way KiMoon!

All that the strongly narcopolitical Liberal Party, its allies in the Church, KiMoonBan and the group behind him are doing points to a future hot flashpoint. Who will die in the process: The members of their group and their quislings in the Philippines at the very time or after they are discovered linked to drugs – manufacturing and trafficking, crime, white slavery, pilfering trillions of funds, grand scale smuggling-economic sabotage, and other heinous, capital crimes or the men beloved of the Filipino people they desperately want to kill?

We the Filipino people have not enjoyed a little bliss like this in a long, long time since Cory Aquino. Don’t be a kill joy KiMoonBan and fuck it all up you dirty piece of shit.

Be silent KiMoonBan and just go as your term expires. And expire in peace with no one to hound your remaining days on earth as a true son of a bitch and satan lover.

The People around the world should Get Involved and help stop these animals from further wreaking havoc on the planet. Especially in the Philippines that has given so much to the world is getting shit in return.

Forecast on Power, Preventive Measures

August 4, 2014.  Manila.  The forecast of the international weather watch community for selected parts of Asia is light to heavy rain. For Manila, Philippines and major cities like Cebu, Davao, other parts of the Southeast Asian country, varying forecasts of Tuesday-to-Friday (August 5-8) continuous rains and Wednesday-to-Friday (August 6-8).

PAGASA predicts gale force winds during the same periods mentioned above.


It is inevitable that this will impact once more upon power facilities. If countermeasures are still not being undertaken to buffer the effect of heavy rain and gale force winds brought about by Typhoon Halong (Philippine code Jose), the public may once again anticipate possible power outages in selected areas in the country.

While media reports that the typhoon has weakened over time, it must be noted that storms are invariably finicky and can regain strength at any time. On numerous occasions, typhoons that made landfall in the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) and exited after some time, gather greater momentum and returns for another landfall in the PAR.

As the forecasts go, there is more rain than powerful, destructive winds that indubitably are the cause of storm surges.

As earlier cautioned on July 13, 2014, necessary steps must be taken to forestall sustaining great but unnecessary damage to power facilities. Thus it is most strongly suggested that, despite the burden of cost, retirable and extremely depreciated installations need to be condemned and replaced. Retrofits and repairs have to be conducted, more so now than ever before.

More efficient and more effective monitoring systems have to be put in place to pinpoint at once all kinds of non-regular performance of components of the distribution system.

Needless to say, the downtime and the cost to the power supplier but most of all the public at large becomes too enormous to bear when stopgaps that are doable are not put in place while there are occasions to do so.

Furthermore, appropriate new technologies for safeguarding the distribution process from tripping or sustaining enormous damage that will surely entail costly repair and rebuilding, ought to be acquired or harnessed to their fullest. More often than not, new methods and technologies form part of the set of stop gaps that power service providers must have to have better staying power.

It is possible that Meralco did not have good pro-active measures, a keenness to acquire or harness new technologies and techniques because it sank into the quagmire of debts amounting to staggering amounts like hundreds of millions to billions of US Dollars. As a result, Meralco today, is 51% owned by PLDT that is run by Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan that in turn is taking orders from Indonesian and Malaysian investors (Salim Group) that holds the bigger stake in PLDT.

The irony is that, both PLDT and Meralco, are engaged in public services that ideally, should never be in the hands of foreigners as much as humanly possible.


Any enterprise in the power sector that will suffer the same fate as that of the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant (of Tokyo Electric Power Co.) knowing that pro-active measures could have been taken in advance, would be foolish to absorb losses that could really be avoided in the first place. If the public sector is vigilant, such utility corporations should be stripped of their license and permit to operate electric power distribution services and the opportunity needs to be handed over to more competent and qualified service providers.

A collage of images of damaged power utility facilities alone should give a hint as to the urgency of undertaking advanced planning and early countermeasures, particularly in these times of worsening calamities.

July 17, 2014.  Manila.  It has been forewarned on July 13, 2014 that power utility installations will be among the physical facilities that will sustain the most damage from the tropical storm / typhoon #Rammasun or #Glenda. This kind of phenomenon will keep repeating itself over and over with the advent of more intense weather and climate disturbances in this new millennium.
