Manila, Philippines –  Tarlac mayor Benjamin Tesoro took the town’s celebration of the 86th birthday of the late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. as opportunity to take potshots at the Aquino family on Tuesday for the “neglect” his town suffered during the term of Aquino’s son, Benigno III.

While senator Bam Aquino was being introduced by Tesoro, Noynoy Aquino’s cousin, the mayor surprised everyone in the crowd that gathered when he said that Aquino family “did not do anything” for San Manuel.

Frustrations

In the past, Tesoro had reportedly complained about being snubbed by Noynoy Aquino.

“The market I asked your cousin to build … It never happened. I caught the ire of one of the councilors for failing to put up a market,” Tesoro told Senator Aquino.

“I was advised to write the Senate and I complained to them about your cousin. I told them he was no good. He is from Tarlac but San Manuel is the poorest Tarlac town and he did nothing to help us,” he said.

The mayor, however, apologized for the rant but said that “this is the truth.”

“This is an opportunity for me to say I hope you can redeem yourself. This town has genuine love for your family,” he added.

Carried away

In response, Bam said Tesoro was probably “carried away by his frustrations”.

“I know how much Mayor Tesoro loves Tito Ninoy. He was [Ninoy’s] scholar from the time he was 12 years old until he entered the Philippine Military Academy,” the senator said

Tesoro was said to be the former president of the Scholars Association of Sen. Ninoy Aquino.

“I’ve heard a lot of complaints through Facebook and YouTube, but despite these issues, Mayor Tesoro continues to celebrate Ninoy’s birthday,” Aquino said.*

“Let us let go of all these hurts, these pains and move forward. I assure San Manuel your needs will be addressed at the Senate,” the senator said

Tesoro asked Aquino to help them improve the town’s national high school building, which has only four class rooms and build the Tarlac Agriculture University.

In celebration of his uncle’s 86th birthday, Bam Aquino asked the people to remember the late senator Ninoy’s love for the country.

“Ngayon pong birthday ni Ninoy, huwag nating kakalimutan na ang kanyang pagkamatay ay hindi lang dahil nabaril siya,” he said

“Iyan po ay dahil sa napakalalim niyang pagmamahal sa ating bayan na mas ginusto niyang umuwi kahit na baka makulong at mapanganib ang kanyang buhay kaysa sa manatili sa Amerika na mapayapa naman at ligtas,” Aquino added

Isang netizen ang nagreklamo dahil sa mataas na presyo ng nasabing face mask. Ayon sa kanyang Facebook story na ibinahagi ng isang Facebook page na Pinoy Trend, nagkakahalaga ng ng P500 ang isang N95 mask. Ang presyo ay sobrang mataas kumpara sa orihinal na presyo nito.

US-funded media outfits must be shut down

Photo from Google Images An affront to the Constitution and our sovereignty WITH the disclosure that they have been the conduits for spreading vicious black propaganda against President Duterte, it is high time, even an urgent matter of national security, for our sovereign state to shut down the four media outfits, funded by American entities, which have been used as tools to advance US hegemony over Filipino consciousness. These are the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (set up 1989), the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (also in 1989), Vera Files (2008), and Rappler (2012). It is indisputable that these news websites got funds from US entities — among them the Asia and Ford Foundations, National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, North Base Media — which have even been explicit in their soft-power task to advance American interests globally. For the first time, the PCIJ yesterday admitted that it received a huge fund (an...
