Case for the Undead : Journey into Evil

"I am very much convinced that if Mister Mar Roxas wins the 2016 elections, this country, all of us, may be turned into vampires. Even worst, we will become the undead."

"But Master, how can you be sure? Mister Mar Roxas seems like a good guy. He doesn't have fangs, I suppose?"

"Are you out of your mind Renfield?! Evil has existed for centuries. The Devil has many forms. Even the obnoxious Catholic Rome acknowledges that. In this country, where we are now, is presently beset by troubles. Crimes and bad politics are killing the country's spirit. But that is not why we are here for, my dear Renfield." 

"So what are we here for then?" Are we going to solve another one of their troubled histories, this miserable country?" 


"Our last Budapest caper was really a tight one. So what gives?"

"Let us first refresh ourselves my friend. If memory serves you, remember that a papal bull issued by Pope Alexander VI in the year 1493. This same papal bull granted to the Spanish Crown all lands to the "west and south" of a pole-to-pole line 100 leagues west and south of any of the islands of the Azores or theCape Verde islands..  ."



 
                     "Yes, and so . . . .?"







"The drafting of the Papal Bull was part of a bigger cover-up."

 "A conspiracy calculated to   
  deceive and ultimately
  conquer mankind if you will."



 
"Rome had already been infiltrated by the Devil. The 12th and 13th century crusades in the middle east did not only bring in the religion of the messiah to Europe, but also ushered in an ancient enemy. The one that had lived quietly among the gardens of the middle east, in the gardens of the Edens. 

The one that God called . . . .Lucifer.

"That's creepy. . . ."






"Now . . .it gets interesting. As I've said, Rome was already a haven for these dark spineless beings. In the guise of Popes and Priests, they sought to rule mankind through the portals of the Vatican. While many of them ruled, disguised as ordinary mortals, others thirsted for blood. They became horrible creatures that they truly were, killing of the living.

"Many fed on the weak, the women and children. Even sick people were not spared. There was evil scourge everywhere. "





 
"These creatures, undead as they're once called, hid after the first light. 

As provident acts of self-preservation, some took to the black forests in Germany, others in the great castles of England, and appeared therefore, as royalties."

"Strange plagues hit Europe at the time. Many blamed the rats. Others, blamed God."

"Those were the darkest of times, Renfield."

"But what has these got to do with 
  Mister Mar Roxas?"

"Could you rather wait Renfield?!"






As I've said, the world during the time was plunged into a dark  abyss. Men sought for answers. Intellectual savants like Leonardo da Vinci and Copernicus had to search their own selves, having been perplexed by the rashes of strange occurrences in their own centuries. Discovery of the sciences and astronomy were in truth, irrational offshoots to the secret inquiries on the nature of evil. Meaning, these men secretly knew, not only the existence of the Devil, but his works, his atrocities that he had physically sown in Europe. And these same men, had sought to prevent the global dissemination of the evil scourge. 

"At the risk of being indicted to Heresy."

"Hmmmm. . . it's rather strange . . ." 








"Not only that Renfield, you would be surprised that many of these so called "undead" are actually beasts, dressed as gentlemen. Europe, as in London you very well know, has a cold weather. One had to dress heavily to counter the effects of the somber winds. The same clothes like the top hat and the infamous trenchcoat worn by the Ripper, provided the perfect disguise."

"Did you just mention Jack the Ripper?"

"Good. 
You're catching up fast Renfield."

"The man. . . the beast that you knew as Jack the Ripper who was responsible for the serial murders at the Whitechapel District of London in 1888 was in reality, a vampire. Ancient names of these netherbeings were known in the Russian court as Strigoi, in the old Babylon as Lilith, in Japan as Kyuuketsuk, in Malaysia as the Pananngal."

"Jack the Ripper could not be captured. After every murder, he would suddenly disappear for periods of  weeks. And when he appears, almost as always, some woman ends up dead on the streets of London. Their bodies wildly mutilated, entrails savagely gone."

"Able men searched night and day for the malefactor. Every nook, cranny and dim street of London were watched."

"The Scotland Yard panicked.  They fielded covert men all throughout Europe."

"Even the great Sherlock 
 Holmes, who was consulted by the authorities, found the trail convincingly cold . ."





 

"Yes, even Mr. Sherlock couldn't deny it. The malefactor was always a step ahead of him.

"Ever wondered how the beast eluded them at every turn, my dear Renfield?"


 
 
                          
                                       "Yes? How?"

 

"He flew."

 

 "Wow, I'm impressed Professor Helsing.
   But, I really couldn't understand how the 
   Philippines or Mister Mar Roxas figures
   in the story."

"Be patient Renfield. We shall proceed thus further in the next
few days. Meanwhile, we could have a sip of your Chamomile tea. . . . .I suppose . . . ."

WHAT?? AN AMERICAN AT THE NATIONAL FOOD AUTHORITY??

TARANTADO PALA ITONG SINA ALCALA!

 Quezon mafia’ at DA!

ACTIVIST lawyer Argee Guevarra yesterday criticized Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala’s “dubious choice of appointees,” including an “American” who has been chosen to head the National Food Authority (NFA), the country’s lead food security agency. 

In a statement, Guevarra accused Alcala of “turning the DA into his own personal playground, appointing members of his ‘Quezon mafia’ into the department, including Orlan Calayag, an American citizen, as NFA administrator.”
“These very same people have been repeatedly accused of involvement in various acts of corruption including the Napoles pork barrel fund scam, yet they seem to continue to enjoy the confidence of Alcala, their political benefactor,” said Guevarra.
“Calayag is an American citizen leading the charge for national food security. Since when did our laws, including the NFA Charter, allow for the appointment of someone who has renounced his Filipino citizenship in order to acquire a foreign one?”
Calayag, former aide of then-congressman Alcala, flew from the United States back to the Philippines on December 19, 2012 bearing US Passport No. 462971672. He has since acquired dual citizenship as American and Filipino more than a year later on  January 7, 2013 -- six months after his appointment as NFA administrator effective  July 1, 2012.
“How was Alcala able to dupe the President into signing Calayag’s appointment in the first place? Even assuming he has regained dual citizenship, still, that does not qualify him for appointment in our bureaucracy,” explained Guevarra, a UP-trained lawyer.
Citing jurisprudence in Maquiling vs. Comelec (G.R. No. 195649, 16 April 2013) and Mercado vs. Manzano (G.R. No. 135083, 26 May 1999), Guevarra argued: “first, one who renounces his Philippine citizenship when he became an American citizen is no longer a natural-born citizen of the Philippines; second, even when he became a dual citizen under RA No. 9225, he does not automatically re-acquire his status as a natural-born citizen of the Philippines.”
The NFA Charter states that its administrator must be a natural-born Filipino.
Calayag’s appointment into the NFA, “absent the vetting process required under the Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC) Reform Law 1,” according to Guevarra, also made him chairman of the Food Terminals Inc. and director of the Philippine Fisheries Development Corp.
“This is precisely the kind of mindset that breeds corruption in the DA. When, with impunity, its officials think that they are above the law and can circumvent around it at will,” said Guevarra who first exposed the alleged P457- million overpricing in the DA and NFA’s government-to-government rice importation transaction in April. The said transaction is currently under investigation by both the Senate and House of Representatives.
This week, congressional representatives, COOP NATCCO partylist Rep. Anthony Bravo and Laguna 3rd district Rep. Sol Aragones appealed for “wiser government spending” in the agriculture sector, while Agri-Agra Reporma Para sa Magsasakang Pilipinas (AGRI) partylist Rep. Delph Gan Lee filed House Bill (HB) No. 2936 seeking to end the “NFA’s monopoly on rice importation” as it has supposedly “adversely contributed to the price of the staple grain.”
Rice prices in September hit all-time highs even as the NFA invested heavily in government-led importations, spending US$94.5 million or more than P4 billion to import 205,700 MT of rice from Vietnam in April of 2013, and some P1.7 billion in importation duties and taxes.

Aside from Calayag, farmers’ group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) earlier named the following as members of Alcala’s “Quezon mafia”: DA Undersecretary for Administration and Finance Antonio Fleta; Arnulfo Mañalac who served as Alcala’s administrator for the Sariaya Bagsakan Center in 2007; DA Assistant Secretary Ed de Luna; Philippine Coconut Authority Administrator and Alcala legal consultant Euclides G. Forbes; Claro Maranan of the National Irrigation Administration; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Director Asis Perez; Bureau of Plant Industry Director Lito Baron; Philippine Fishing Development Authority Director Rodrigo Jimenez and Agri Technical Insititute director Nicomedes Eleazar.
Fleta, along with DA assistant secretaries Ophelia Agawin and Salvador Salacup, all Alcala appointees, were also implicated in the Napoles pork barrel fund controversy.

FROM MANILA TIMES

by RIGOBERTO TIGLAO

Doing research on some other topic, I stumbled on what at first I thought were outdated information. But the info turned out to be accurate—and troubling.
The conglomerate Philippine Investment Management Inc. (Phinma) listed as one of its board members Jose Cuisia. Isn’t he our current “Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States, with concurrent jurisdiction over the Virgin Islands, Grenada and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico?”
Yes he is. And not only that, our ambassador is presently active in nine other firms, which certainly aren’t just mom-and-pop outfits.
He is vice-chairman in the Philippine American Life and General Insurance Co., in which he had been CEO for a decade until its American owners, AIG, went bankrupt and had to sell out to Asian investors. He is also vice chairman of the company, which is at the core of Henry Sy’s empire, SM Prime Holdings.
He is a director of the Ayalas’ Manila Water Co., in cement conglomerate Holcim Philippines, in call-center firm Integra Business Processing Solutions, in property firm ICCP Holdings, and in Beacon Property Ventures.
I nearly fell off my seat reading this information: Cuisia is chairman of The Covenant Car Co.
Cuisia20131021
Why do I find that shocking? The Covenant Car Company is the sole importer and distributor of the US company Chevrolet’s cars in the Philippines, and I’m certain Cuisia doesn’t know much about the car business.

Its Filipino stockholders might as well have put up a neon sign at their showrooms: Trust us, our chairman is the ambassador to the US, and he sees the Chevrolet chairman often there.
With that number of directorships in major firms, Cuisia is obviously raking it in while he is our underpaid ambassador to the US. Strangely though, he seems to have become exempt from BIR rules since he became ambassador in 2010. Reported as the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s 55th biggest taxpayer in 2009 and paying P13 million in taxes, Cuisia has completely dropped out of the lists for 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Is Cuisia’s continuing employment in private firms while he is the Philippine ambassador to the US legal? If it is, is it proper?
I’m sure that The Covenant Car Co., Phinma Life, SM malls, Manila Water, and Integra Business Processing Solutions would have one way or another have business dealings in the world’s biggest economy.

Does having the Philippine Ambassador to the US as its chairman, vice-chairman or director give that company an unfair edge to its competitors? Or is Cuisia violating in principle the civil service code’s prohibition on conflict-of-interest situations of civil servants employed in private firms?
(The only other civil servant I know who is as busy as Cuisia in private firms is Social System Chairman Juan Santos, who sits in the board of Philex Mining and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. where the SSS has shares in and in seven other major corporations, including Phinma and First Philippine Holdings.)

But the really important question is not even the legality and morality of a Philippine ambassador busy in ten private companies.
The US is the most important country we have diplomatic relations with. That’s an understatement. As a nation, we’re depending on the US for our security, and after ranting at China, and bad-mouthing it as a bully, our foreign secretary right after would sheepishly glance at Uncle Sam to be assured that it will defend the country if the Chinese really gets pissed off.
The US is also where we have the biggest population of migrant Filipinos, whom we can tap as a powerful lobby group for our national interests, as American Jews have done for decades. As a nation we also have the responsibility to assist them in preserving their Filipino heritage.

Our ambassador represents both the President and the entire country in the world of nations. He can’t be often absent in that job making money in the Philippines.
But maybe his membership in these firms’ board is just titular, and his involvement is through Skype or some of kind of teleconferencing.

Nope. Cuisia is even chairman of Phinma’s compensation committee and a member of its board’s executive committee. In SM Prime, he is chairman of its Risk Management and Audit Committee, and member of its Nomination Committee.
Cuisia has religiously attended in the Philippines each and every meeting of the board of the companies he is a director of, so that he is out of his US post from three days to a week every month.
Our ambassador to the US is not within his area of jurisdiction and travels to the Philippines for several days every month. Does the foreign affairs department pay for Cuisia’s first-class fare or is it the firms he is involved in?
I was surprised over Cuisia’s continued board memberships as I had the impression that this was forbidden, either by civil regulations or by practice in the foreign affairs department.
I remember there were magnates who wanted to be ambassadors during President Arroyo’s term, but who later on declined after being told they would have to take a leave from their companies. Tycoons Jaime Zobel de Ayala and Edgardo Espiritu had to take a leave of absence from their businesses when they served as ambassadors to the United Kingdom
Cuisia’s monthly travel to the Philippines is actually quite a remarkable feat.

Ambassadors are required to get an approval not only from the foreign affairs secretary but also from the President or the Executive Secretary when he leaves his post.
Not only that. The foreign secretary has to formally issue a document appointing a chargé d’affaires, or the official in charge of the Embassy while he ambassador is away. Not only that. The embassy has to report to the State Department (or the foreign affairs ministry in other countries) that the ambassador is not in the country, and that the chargé d’affaires will temporarily represent the nation. I doubt if Cuisia bothered with these required documentation.

All these paper work only emphasizes the fact that part of an ambassador’s job description is that he can leave his post only for official reasons or in an emergency. I wonder how Cuisia justified his board meetings with Phinma, SM and the other eight companies as “attending to official matters.”
An ambassador’s job is actually a very demanding one if one takes his work seriously. Filipino organizations demand the personal presence of the ambassador in their social activities. You can dismiss these as petty events, but one can also see these as opportunities to strengthen your links to the Filipino community you also represent in that land.

The Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995 in effect even gave our ambassadors a new, demanding duty of protecting OFWs in their posts, a job no other country has asked of their ambassadors.
What also makes an ambassador’s work practically limitless is the fact that to pursue the country’s interests, he has to make friends with the elite of the country he is covering, and this requires unending invitations to them for lunch or dinner. These requires the patience and energies of a salesman, since a single addition to an ambassador’s stock of friends would be another source of support when the Philippines need something from that host government.
Having a part-time ambassador is even a bit of an insult to the country he is posted in, as it sends the message that it is not that important a nation that it is not a full-time job for our ambassador, who will be away a week every month. I wouldn’t be surprised if Americans think of us so poor that we have to allow our ambassador in the US to make money in private firms while he is in his post.

No wonder we aren’t getting anything really substantial from the US, other than their empty blah-blahs supporting our saber-rattling against China, no wonder our embassy can’t even lobby successfully for the US president to visit our country.
