“SINO BA YUNG WALANG UTAK NA PULITIKO NA GUMAWA NG BATAS NA YAN?”
Umani ng atensyon ang social media post ni dating congressman Kiko Barzaga kasunod ng madug0ng pamamariI sa isang paaralan sa Tacloban City.
Sa kanyang post, diretsahang kinuwestiyon ni Barzaga ang batas na nagbibigay ng espesyal na pagtrato sa mga menor de edad na nasasangkot sa krimen, at iniugnay ito sa nangyaring school sh00ting.
“Sino ba yung walang utak na pulitiko na gumawa ng batas na bawal ipakulong ang menor de edad? Yan tuloy nagbabariIan na sila sa eskwelahan!,” ani Barzaga.
Bagama’t wala siyang pinangalanan, lumilitaw na tinutukoy niya ang umiiral na juvenile justice law, na matagal nang sentro ng debate tuwing may mabibigat na krimeng kinasasangkutan ng mga menor de edad.
Kasunod ng insidente sa Tacloban, muling lumakas ang panawagan ng ilang sektor na repasuhin ang batas hinggil sa criminal liability ng mga kabataan. Si Barzaga naman ay nagpahiwatig ng suporta sa mas mahigpit na parusa laban sa mga sangkot sa karumal-dumal na krimen, kabilang ang panawagang ibalik ang de*th penalty.
Ang kanyang pahayag ay isa sa mga pinaka-direktang reaksiyon mula sa isang dating mambabatas matapos ang trahedyang yumanig sa Tacloban at muling nagbukas ng diskusyon tungkol sa pananagutan ng mga menor de edad sa ilalim ng batas.
Ulitin ko, ginamit ng Ombudsman yung testimonya ni Guteza at ng 18 marines na nagdelivet sila ng pera sa mga pulitiko para kasuhan si Tamby.
Tapos ngayon “bodyguards” at “fake marines” sila ayon kay Charice.
I have no words.
@LakasNgTimog Dahli drama lang nila ang kaso kay Tamby, in case lang yun pag umabot kay bbm, fall guy si tamby. Pero dahil hawak na nila ulit Senado, abswelto na yan, balik discaya na script nila
Senator Ping Lacson, with all due respect, the public is not suffering from short‑term memory.
When you warn the nation about “possible disruption,” it’s hard not to notice the irony, because history shows that your own bloc has repeatedly contributed to disorder in the Senate, especially during leadership https://t.co/7LXOdbIok2 say Senator Cayetano “should not be underestimated.”
But the Filipino people also know not to underestimate your own track record, particularly when it comes to controversies that have never been fully resolved.Before casting doubt on others, perhaps it’s worth addressing the questions that continue to follow you:
• The Kuratong Baleleng case, a chapter that still raises concerns about abuse of power and accountability.
• The kidnapping allegations that have resurfaced time and again in public discussions.
• And most recently, the flood control scam investigation, where you were given the opportunity to uncover the truth, yet key individuals who could have verified the marines’ testimony were never invited. The inquiry stalled, and the public was left with more questions than answers.
If we are talking about protecting the Senate as an institution, then transparency, consistency, and accountability must apply to everyone, not only to those you politically disagree with.
Leadership tensions are not resolved by pointing fingers.
They are resolved by integrity, fairness, and a willingness to confront one’s own history.The Filipino people deserve a Senate that prioritizes truth over theatrics, and accountability over selective outrage.
