Corruption at the Bureau of Customs, Department of Finance

In the past, we rooted for the government to come clean with the then prevailing situation at the bureau where the smuggling syndicates are lording over everything taking place in that area. The syndicate dictates upon the government not to install CCTV cameras, to deliberately sabotage the effectivity of the E2M process, not to use radio net inside the bureau of customs and to refrain from all other activities that will in any way inhibit, constrict, fend off, repel, thwart, stop, prevent or in any way lessen the power and intensity of the syndicate operations at all the Philippine ports (airport, maritime port, etc.)

Recently, the newly appointed Commissioner at the Bureau of Customs was subjected to massive smear campaign, its main attacker being the man who was in the company of noynoy in the car that was shot full of holes by military rebels in the 1989 coup d’etat. A young female died in in the company of the pretending to be macho transsexual in that incident. The bruja in Malacanang sitting as fake president trusts this attacker for he was the one that saved the biggest drug laboratory from being discovered in Southern Luzon in May 2010, one day prior to the elections. This attacker, was the Southern Luzon Command chief at the time and his promised thousand troops that will encircle the target drug factory did not arrive.

The attacker was in cahoots with the drug syndicate. One of the confirmed leaders of the drug syndicate, Rafael Nantes, who used to be the Governor of Quezon Province, 17 days following the date was killed in a suspicious helicopter crash.

What makes the incident dubious is that according to Philippine Air Force accident investigation experts, no helicopter will explode if it crashes from a height of between 50 up to 1,000 feet or slightly higher.
Nantes before his alleged death, was the National Treasurer of the Liberal Party. But he was also the main man of a major Asian drug trafficking syndicate in the Philippines.

In the island that was raided by government, Nantes’ group allegedly manufactured the highly illegal, prohibited dangerous substance called Shabu in quantities of 3 to 4 tons per one cooking session.  According to the informants, the Nantes Quezon Province laboratory cooked Shabu 3 to 4 times every year, with the Chinese chemists and experts being transported to the site by helicopters.

After the manufacturing was completed, the output Shabu was classified into three: Class A – distributed locally and exported to many countries. Class B – distributed through the local Muslims’ drug trafficking networks, among others.  Class C – given to the police and military to sell for money to satisfy their own pleasures.

The killer chopper that supposedly killed Nantes and several others, hit the palms of a coconut tree and purportedly crashed from a height of just around 50 feet from the ground. The chopper exploded on impact.

A syndicate that dictates upon the Philippine Government what to do, a drug lord sycophant who is now wreaking havoc inside the Bureau of Customs, elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, especially those from its intelligence arm, that are being misused and exploited by the drug lord sycophant to destroy the reputations of the newly installed officials at the Bureau – many things have gone haywire in the administration of the fake president.

In effect this situation portrays a government that lost  its integrity. The members of the nuclear and the branches of the family of the fake figurehead sitting by the Pasig River, expect a direct regular take from this syndicate and are themselves deeply enmeshed with the activities of the syndicate.

They meet in a posh country club in Mandaluyong and similar exclusive members only venues. The corrupt family and their government quislings plan, formulate commands, orders, instructions, that are executed by their trusted jesters, bootlickers, assassins, killers, thieves, in the executive, in Congress and Senate.

Everyone comes out with fat paychecks and the corrupt family deposits its loot in many safe havens all around the world – some converted into other forms of valuables to avoid detection. Because of the sponsorship by the global financial elite of the corrupt first family, no one wishes to go against them as they are incredible well protected.

The Transparency International Stiftung e.v. based in Germany has shown that it is even bootlicking the corrupt family and the evil Philippine regime. It has been fairly recently releasing praises about the insatiable demonic regime that is slowly killing many Filipino people and robbing the entire country of much of its wealth.

The PAMUSA – Philippine Anticorruption Movement USA, Inc. is proudly saying it has helped put Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Ramon Revilla Jr., Jose Pimentel Ejercito (Jinggoy) in jail and since 2014 has been taking serious potshots against the fake vice president Jejomar C. Binay, but is endorsing the main man of the Liberal Party – Manuel Araneta Quezon III @Mar Roxas.

Everything must start to change and it is up to the people to take up the cudgels for those that fought for this country’s liberation from the demonic foreigners and local oppressors of the past.

Rise up brothers and sisters and let us shake off our chains. We deserve a better country than this!!! The diseased in the heart, mind and soul oppressive regime and their international, global backers have not seen death yet. They will see more than that.

Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) Mindanao

Events in Western Mindanao at the present time all point towards escalating fourth generation war.

4G warfare is defined as early as in 1989 as amorphous (without shape and specific definition), stateless, borderless, non-conventional war. It is also timeless. For demonstration, the overly protracted conflict between Israel and selected Middle East neighbors have overblown into 4G warfare. However, its worst feature is that 4G warfare crosses all lines of demarcation:  it does not distinguish between soldier-combatants and civilians. This form of warfare shows its antagonists engage in all sorts of unimaginable acts and does not follow the Geneva Conventions on agreed upon humanitarian considerations during wartime.

Although some military historians and analysts refuse to accept the 4G warfare (as well as the much-propounded 5th Generation warfare – 5G) doctrine, arguing that both the 4G and 5Gconcepts of warfare are weak in that they are governed by their own aspects of conventionality it is still in order to recognize the burgeoning threat to life and property, to the economic well-being of a social enclave or a country of minor conflict rapidly escalating into bigger war.

In its most poignant manifestation as the burning of Islamic villages at the outset of the 1980s in Mindanao that led to the long-standing Muslim secessionist posture and the rise of highly non-conventional war in Western Mindanao that spilled over disproportionately to Central Mindanao after the late Salamat Hashim broke ties with Misuari Nur this kind of warfare tactic and strategy ravages everything in its path.

This is being repeated in a formerly Islamic trading capital town, Zamboanga City now populated also by a dominantly Christian population who learned to speak a language that is half Spanish and half vernacular dialect.

Failure in negotiations and lack of crisis scenario planning and management, futures modeling and war gaming exercise among many other significant and trivial factors, brought the present situation in Western Mindanao to what it is today.

It is now anticipated, that since half of the base of support of Misuari is in the Zamboanga Peninsula and Basilan and both enjoy proximity to Central Mindanao where a sizeable faction of the Salamat Hashim group are found, troubles will ultimately spill over to Central Mindanao.

It is merely a matter of time before the atrocities escalate into unmanageable proportions and spread over to other major islands in the northern part of the country.

Considering that coinciding with events in 1995, during the merging of Christian Democrats with Islamic political parties, Muslim communities sprang up like mushrooms all over the Philippine archipelago, the base of support for all secessionist leaning organizations formerly isolated in the South, has now expanded into staggering size.

This is a precursory requisite for borderless warfare that will no longer be confined merely to the South, unless mitigating circumstances will arise and relative peace once more will be enjoyed in larger parts of the country.

For the uninitiated government technocracy, peace could be merely wishful thinking at the present, but it is achievable. The best stopgap should lie in what was began by former Director of the National Security Council and erstwhile Adviser of the late President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino.

The Hon. Dr. Emmanuel Valdez Soriano, intimately close to and known by the current Secretary of National Defense, Gen. Voltaire Tuvera Gazmin while he was Group Commander of the Presidential Security Group at the time, thought about conflict in terms of macrocosmic models.

In several sessions with him at his non-descript office in Makati City, the former National Security Adviser repeatedly tasked the building of models for flashpoints monitoring. Other more strategic modeling were undertaken during his watch. This concept was introduced several times into the succeeding administrations to no avail even with Gen. Jose Tan Almonte and former President Fidel Valdez Ramos re-inventing the process with the creation of Tactical, Policy and Strategic commissions under the National Security Council and putting managers under these newly formed units. The novel offices however were limited to simple reading and proofreading of letters, studies, proposals instead of engaging in flashpoint monitoring, crisis mapping and futures modeling.

The present National Security Council cannot hold a candle to the old wise men who headed that office. From the top to bottom, they don’t even know what story to believe and who to trust in. They cannot identify one solid fact to be true and lies are often taken as gospel truth. Furthermore, Dr. Emmanuel Valdez Soriano was not particular about personal wealth or expenditures, was hardly engaged in things that beclouded human judgment such as addiction to substances and other vices, which cannot be said of his present contemporaries.

The defense establishment is headed by a humble and modest former junior colleague of the doctor who declined the appointment to defense secretary several times stating his reason to be that there are more than 200 congressmen and there are 24 senators. In effect, as Secretary of National Defense, he will have 224 more bosses than His Excellency President Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III who is only one person, notwithstanding that His Excellency, The President will have several little presidents all over him, as well as close family, friends and what other.

Following the uncovering of the dirt and shit soiling the faces, shirts and undergarments of of our venerable 224 and top men and women of line agencies of the bureaucracy, Gen. Gazmin’s humility and modesty befitting of a better man, is probably just in the right place.

The constitution of top leadership of the security cluster defines the present situation now unfolding in Western Mindanao. However, even if the correct solutions will be undertaken by a private-led initiative, no one can dare say that it will be against the grain. In most other advanced or backward states, the concerned citizens of nations always rise up to the challenge of contributing to their country during crisis. In case of what is happening now, this call is made to the private sector, the clergy, all the other sectors, to rise up and be counted. At no other time but in crisis and the fights of Emmanuel Pacquiao are people ready to agree, link hands and even work together. This is one of those times and everyone who wants to help must come out and lend a hand. Left ungoverned, the security cluster will commit one faux pas after another to ensure that the trouble in Mindanao will last for a minimum of another ten years such as during the time of Pres. Marcos.

This time, it will not merely be Malaysia just training the Misuari fighters and some Christian Social Democrats supposed warriors thrown into the picture (formerly courtesy of Sen. Jovito Salonga). With the Salamat Hashim and Indon relatives in high places, royalty and business elite, the support of Indonesia with possibly increased help of several Malaysian political factions, without discounting that of some of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation members for the Misuari group can push the current troubles into a full functional 4G level.

The answer to the troubles in Zamboanga lies in diplomacy and a political solution. The sustaining of the effort to increase safe spaces should be found in properly supported future modeling, crisis mapping, scenario building and counteraction-countermeasures planning, as well as a wide range of related activities along this line. This is where the rest of the country could pitch in to boost a sagging government conflict resolution strategy.

To make things lighter than they are now, the irony is that there are cellular mobile phones even His Excellency The President is using that are merely operating on 3G. How the hell really is government going to respond to 4G? Email: workers@rebus21.shop.ms.
