Crisis of Sovereignty Series 12 –
Penoy’s Motherhood Rhetorics Clueless
about Real State of Philippine Sovereignty
Bono Adaza files Election Annulment Case in the Supreme Court
On his first day as the country's first digital president, Benigno Cojuangco Aquino III messed up on his
inaugural protocol and lulled his audience with motherhood statements that must have sent Cory turning in
her grave.
Failing to acknowledge the presence of the outgoing President and the incumbent Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, Aquino established the level of arrogance under which he will serve whatever is remaining
of his fake regime. There is a Spanish dictum that says “Lo cortes, no quita lo valiente.” Courtesy does not
make one less valiant. So uncouth and under borrowed time, this could have been his first strategic error in
presidential role playing.
Nonetheless, the Filipino people who are not with the yellow army, would have appreciated more specific
action plans rather than spent shibboleths long ranted by traditional politicians. That he has “forgiven” his
critics who are not repentant anyway, but does not have the right to forgive those do wrong to the people, is
rhetorics in its lowest order. It reeks false humility and pretentious sense of heroism.
On the other hand, the masses would have danced in the streets if they heard him pronouncing a wish list
sounding like this for his first 30 days:
1. Issuance and service for the warrant of arrest for former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for various
plunder cases.
2. Immediate arrest of Jocjoc Bolante and Arthur Yap for the fertilizer scam, Romulo Neri and Benjamin
Abalos Jr. for the ZTE scam, and Osmena Montaner the mastermind of the assassination of whistleblower
Marlene Esperat.
3. The withdrawal of the petition of the Cojuangco family for injunction against the Department of
Agrarian Reform’s implementation of the redistribution of Hacienda Luisita to the farmers, and just
compensation of the victims of the Hacienda Luista Massacre.
4. Renunciation of the Reproductive Health Bill.
5. One peso reduction per kilowatt hour of electricity for residential consumption and appointing a Study
Group on the recommissioning of the Bataan Nuclear Plant in order to lower power costs and forestall the
treat of an energy shortage.
6. Reopening of the investigation of the Ninoy Aquino assassination and the involvement of former
president Fidel V. Ramos’ in the Clark Expo, Amari and Independent Power Producers deals during his
administration.
7. At least a two-peso per liter rollback on the prices of vehicle fuel and twenty pesos reduction per tank
of LPG for homes.
These are some samples of key issues that would have made him hit the road running while the election
annulment case filed by Bono Adaza, Mentong Laurel and I, start to see its day in the Supreme Court. The
highlights of this case are the following:
1. By the non-observance and disregard of fundamental provisions of the election laws, other laws, and
the Constitution by the Commission on Elections, the May 10, 2010 elections should be nullified and all
proclamations voided.
2. Proclamations based on unofficial documents are null and void ab initio.
3. Canvassing and proclamation without determining authenticity and due execution of documents in the
manner provided by law are null and void ab initio.
4. Canvassing and proclamation without a joint public session of Congress or wihout a quorum are null
and void ab initio.
The Comelec did not just not comply with the minimum system capabilities set by Section 6 of Republic Act
9369, it even abused its powers and discretion by unilaterally exempting the process from them, in effect
amending and interpreting the law, functions that are left to Congress and the Supreme Court respectively.
Section 6. Minimum System Capabilities. The automated election system must at least have the following
functional capabilities:
a) Adequate security against unauthorized access;
b) Accuracy in recording and reading of votes as well as in the consolidation, canvassing,
electronic transmission, and storage of results;
c) Error recovery in case of non-catastrophic failure of device;
d) System integrity ehich ensures stability and functioning of the recordin g and counting process;
e) Provision for proper verified audit trail;
f) System auditability which provides for supporting documentation for verifying the correctness
of reported election results;
j) Accurate ballot counters;
l) Provide for safekeeping, storing and archiving phyical or paper resource used in the
electoral process,
n) Provide a voter a system of verification to find out whether or not the machine has registered
his choice;
These were the safeguards that were compromised by the Comelec.
Foremost in these were the removal of digital signatures required under our E-Commerce Laws, disabling
of the ultra-violet ray lamps in the PCOS machines that would have determined the genuineness of ballots
used, and non-inclusion of the voter verification feature.
The removal of digital signatures cancelled identifying the source of the various transmissions that were
being sent to the central server from all over the country. (The server assigned at the Congress of the
Philippines received a tally of 253 million votes, or more than five times the number of registered voters.)
The UV Ray reader was required to read ballots’ bar code and verify the authenticity of the document.
The PCOS machine did not tell the voter after it received his ballot, whom he voted for. The security feature
was replaced by Comelec, again unilaterally, with the words “Congratulations!”
Because of the unholy and lawless ground that the 2010 elections was conducted, magneting more than
100 protests from all over the archipelago, the Republic of the Philippines has never been subjected to this
clear and present danger of anarchy.
The annulment of the 2010 elections will render vacancies in very vital positions, in fact president, vice
president, all congressmen, 12 senators, all governors and board members, all mayors and councilors, will
be non-existent.
This will result in the absence of any chief, provincial and local executives, in reality no government.
This means there will be no commander-in-chief, a specter that will throw the security of the country into a
vacuum, a back-to-the wall situation courting the possibility of external aggression or internal subversion.
The crisis of state authority and the people’s sovereignty is, however, not without recourse.
In Article 2 Section 3 of the Cory Constitution, the wisdom claims its timely place under the Philippine sun –
“The Armed Forces of the Philippines is the protector of the Filipino people and the State.”
Being the singular and only remaining organization intact nationally and locally composed of highly trained
and disciplined officers and personnel, the Armed Forces
can provide for the transition government managing the country in the interim emergency until a new
elections can be called.
Onli in da Pilipins!
