Nasaan na ba ang itak ni Andres?

It’s the worst crime a government can commit—a crime that makes the ZTE broadband network scam seems peanuts in comparison.  The arroyo government practically surrendered our patrimony and sovereignty over a huge portion of our national territory to foreign powers.  gloria is giving away territory paid for with blood by Bonifacio and the millions of Filipino patriots and martyrs.  (Btw, some of our patriotic battles were waged against Chinese pirates such as Limahong!)

Well, all our presidents were guilty of this.  They all allowed the US military to use parts of our territory as its bases, playground, nuclear arms repositories, and training sites.  (How many “wild boars” have the bastards killed again who turned out to be Filipinos?)

            True to form, gloria arroyo is topping all our traitorous former presidents on this one.  She allowed the fucking Chinese and Vietnamese governments to conduct oil exploration activities on twenty thousand square kilometers of Philippine territory.  And she kept it a secret!

What’s more, a Filipino diplomat in China took it upon herself to speak in behalf of the Chinese government over its alarm about a congressional bill that tries to clearly define our boundaries.  And newly-minted House Speaker Prospero Nograles is leading the gang in thwarthing the bill.  Well, in this time of Lent, Judasses abound, don’t they?

The Spratlys/Kalayaan group of islands is without question Philippine territory.  It is well inside 200 miles from our easternmost province, as specified in international laws on the seas and territories.  We have the strongest claim to them, stronger than Vietnam’s, Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s.  China, including Taiwan, is included in this claimants’ list, reportedly by virtue of a historical claim.  (South China Sea, get it?)  But any idiot who has consulted a map can conclude that China is a bigger idiot in believing so.  It is hundreds of kilometers away from the northernmost of the islands.  And they were not the first ones to ply these waters.  Our Polynesian ancestors were when they discovered these islands starting from 750 thousand years ago.  During that time, the Chinese were probably still busy shaking the sands of Gobi Desert from their ears.

         At the turn of this millennium, the Chinese bullies started building military structures on some atolls and islets in the Kalayaan Group and the Scarborough Shoal near Pangasinan.  It is proof of the weakness of their harebrained claim that they chose not to build on the bigger islands as we did.  Yet they are already there shooting down US spy planes taking pictures and Uncle Sam just kept quiet about it.  (Hey! cowards! we thought you’d defend us when we’re in trouble in the manner that we bled and died for you in your imperialistic wars in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq.)

            The way I see it, this is like allowing distant neighbors, one a proven thief, to see if there is a Yamashita gold cache in our backyard.  What if there are indeed treasures under our house?  Do we expect the neighborhood bully to just let it go at that?  By his nature, isn’t it expected that he will camp in and later lay claim to our property? 

            The thing is the treasure isn’t the arroyo syndicate’s personal property.  It belongs to younger generations of Filipinos to be represented by future governments—hopefully led by a legitimate president very unlike the impostor we now have in the palace.

            Three years the arroyo syndicate and the Chinese and Vietnamese capitalist railroaders have been doing this and we only come to know of it now?  For what?  For scandalous kickbacks from scams like the ZTE broadband network? 

Traitors! Thieves!  May Bonifacio’s bolo chop you all into tiny, unidentifiable pieces!
