Bongbong slams Leni’s ‘brazenness’

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., defeated candidate for vice president, hit the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday for claiming victory in his poll protest against her even as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is yet to resolve the matter.
“We are appalled once more by the brazenness of Mrs. Robredo and her Liberal Party in claiming victory in my still ongoing election protest just as the tribunal announced that no action has been taken by the court on the Caguioa report,” Marcos said in a statement.
The former senator was referring to the report of Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa on the recount of votes that was submitted to the tribunal for deliberation.

Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka announced on Tuesday that the manual recount in 5,415 voting precincts of three test provinces was already finished.
Marcos, who lost the race to Robredo in the 2016 elections, has identified election precincts in the provinces of Iloilo, Negros Oriental and Camarines Sur for recount and revision of ballots, alleging “massive cheating” that led to his loss.
“We have not received any formal notice or decision from the PET regarding this matter… Clearly, there has been a concerted effort to intimidate and coerce the [electoral] tribunal with their underhanded mind-conditioning tactics,” he said.
Robredo’s camp has remained unfazed by potential threats that may “deviate” from the results based on the original revision and recount of votes.

PhD thesis details Ninoy Aquino’s collaboration with Communist Party/NPA

First of a series on the Scalice revelations THE Yellows’ martyr Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino, Jr. was crucial in the founding and growth of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army (CPP-NPA). Aquino, until his arrest when martial was declared in 1972, supported the CPP-NPA as one of his weapons to topple his arch-enemy Ferdinand Marcos. This is among the many explosive conclusions and details of a 2017 PhD dissertation by Joseph Scalice at the University of California, Berkeley, entitled  Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1957-1974. The 800-page thesis is replete with encyclopedic information not just on the old pro-Soviet  Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas  (PKP) and Jose Ma. Sison’s pro-China Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). Scalice reveals surprising details on political figures of that era that would shock the Yellows and the Reds. Scalice appears to have sp...
