It's a wonderful life. Save nature and nature will save you; if you abuse nature, nature will strike you back. ๐ฏ I follow my followers as a matter of courtesy.
Former congressman Kiko Barzaga called for the abolition of the @coastguardph following the arrest of a Coast Guard official in connection with an alleged extortion case involving Filipino fishermen.
In a recorded statement, Barzaga said the arrest highlighted what he described as corruption within the agency and accused some personnel of exploiting fishermen.
โEarlier this week, a Philippine Coast Guard official was arrested for extorting multiple Filipino fishermen,โ Barzaga said, referring to a recent case involving a Coast Guard officer.
Barzaga argued that the incident strengthened his longstanding position that the Philippine Coast Guard should be abolished. He claimed the agency had become a corrupt institution and criticized its role in maritime operations in the West Philippine Sea and South China Sea.
The former lawmaker also mentioned Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary Vice Admiral Martin Romualdez during his remarks, alleging that powerful political figures could help shield those involved from accountability.
โAlthough they have powerful politicians behind them, such as PCGA Vice Admiral Martin Romualdez, and they may freely escape accountability from their crimes against the Filipino people,โ Barzaga said.
Despite this, Barzaga expressed confidence that those responsible would eventually face justice.
โThe will of the Lord is still absolute and we shall ultimately bring justice upon the corrupt Philippine Coast Guard,โ he said.
@DFAPHL I didn't know the DFA ever existed. It's a waste of taxpayers' money to maintain this very weak DFA. You let the crook Tarriela interfere with the foreign affairs of the nation.
@jaytaryela I must ask the DFA, what do you want from China with that award which has nothing to do with sovereignty? PH can either go to war with China over a bunch of rocks in #SouthChinaSea or talk to China; Filipinos need to worry about feeding their families, not territorial disputes.

@jaytaryela The filing of a case with the Arbitral Tribunal by PH is merely a face-saving exercise, as it has lost control of Scarborough Shoal to China. Within the Spratly Islands, China has 7 occupied features, PH has 9 and Vietnam has 27. Who conducts its expansion? Certainly not China.

@Clairevauxxx@jaytaryela What the fishermen did is not the issue. The issue is about PH, which intended to intimidate the Chinese nationals by deploying a warship with big guns, and sending the soldiers with assault rifles to deal with a handful of unarmed fishermen. China will not put up with this shit.

@minet928@jaytaryela@iampinglacson The crook may express his shit opinion on politics as a private individual, but not as a uniformed government employee in public.
