Iba na ang amoy sa loob. Parang mga hayop na nakasalampak sa sahig ang mga tao. Walang ligo, gutom, hindi pa nakakapagpalit ng damit. Walang sapin sa paa. Nanggigitata. Higit sa lahat, marami sa kanila ang may blackeye, putok ang ulo, at iba pang sugat.
Habang sinasabi sa napapadalas presscon ng PNP, Department of Interior at Local Government at Malacanang na hindi pipigilan ang mga protesta, sasabayan naman nila ng bantang “No permit, no rally.” Ang kanilang nais, sa tinutuligsang bulok na pamahalaan manggagaling ang permiso upang makapag-protesta.

Escandor’s Genesis 88 Construction, Inc. bagged lucrative contracts with the Duterte administration. Three years ago, Escandor’s Esdevco Realty Corp. was listed as the sole corporate donor of Sara Duterte in her 2022 vice presidential campaign, paying for Sara’s advertisements costing P19.9 million.

The Filipino people must start asking serious questions about why the DPWH has become the hub of graft and why members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate have treated it as their piggy bank, with congressional insertions bloating the department’s annual appropriations and DPWH officials wondering why hundreds of billions of pesos are being parked with them.
By following the evidence, all those who got the soot from FCPs and other deals must face the music, or enjoy the dirge, or possibly sing the ditty popularized by The Turtles: “So Happy Together.”
That a dynast who has an unremarkable legislative record and himself been accused of graft and corruption is chosen as the fourth highest official of the country betrays a dearth of choice among the president’s allies in Congress.
