From Lucena to Tiaong, Quezonins are waiting

A total of 753,343 residents of Lucena City, Candelaria, Dolores, Sariaya, San Antonio, and Tiaong are waiting for an answer, actually an honest explanation. This is the whole second district of Quezon province, actually its central business district.

Among them are the 286,000 who voted for Representative David “Jayjay” Catarina Suarez as congressman of the second district of Quezon during the last elections.


Among them are those who voted for Proceso Alcala and three other candidates, also more than 200,000.


From Lucena to Tiaong, people while queer-sounding demographic names (Lucenahin, Candelarianin, Doloresin, Sariayahin, San Antonyahin and Tiaongin) and the whole of Quezonin as far north as Burdeos are asking how Cong Jayjay, the son of my kumare, the amiable Aleta, will answer in detail the charge of the Brave 18 Marines who claimed they delivered suitcases of money to the congressmen on orders of the notorious Zaldy Co.


These congressmen acted as Quadcom running dogs of former speaker Martin Romualdez, and by extension, President Bongbong Marcos. These two are the main beneficiaries of the biggest and most shameful payola operation in the history of the country—if the claim of the 18 former Marines and Zaldy and Guteza are true.


Jayjay Suarez is No. 25 in the list of congresspersons who allegedly received several “maletas” filled with oodles, at the House of Representatives and the Townhouse. This is according to information all over social media.


These are millions of pesos comprising the flood control scandal slush fund we are talking about. We wonder if they raise crocs and alligators in the House.


Good day to you, dear lawmakers: Benny Abante, Zia Adiong, Jose Alvarez, Jojo Ang, Jamjam Baronda, Ace Barbers, Ching Bernos, Arlene Brosas, France Castro, Joel Chua, Mannix Dalipe, Leila De Lima (not year a congresswoman then), Dan Fernandez.


Janet Garin, Dong Gonzales, Jay Khonghun, Gerville Luistro, Raoul Manuel, Sandro Marcos, Paolo Ortega, Joseph Paduano, Stella Quimbo, Martin Romualdez, Jayjay Suarez, and Erwin Tulfo.


We hope they won’t need Sleepwell to sleep tight at night, along with their brazen defenders such as Antonio Trillanes IV, Regina Lay, SP Tito Sotto, the Philippine Navy, the AFP, Usec Claire Castro, etc.


True or not, these allegations will remain in history as the issue that will define BBM’s administration.


Atty. Levi Baligod should be cited, if not congratulated, for having the courage to take up the cudgels for these brave Marines, and to show his conviction, his unending faith in the judicial process in the country—for he chose to go to the Ombudsman with evidence and ask Boying to process the group’s complaint.


As for the Quezonins in the second district, well, you will all be called stupid if you let any SAMLANG robbery go unpunished.
