ANG salitang bingit sa bisaya
ay tumutukoy sa mga paslit na
iyakin o dili kaya sa mga taong
madalas magreklamo. Malinaw
na si Bangit ay isang bingit
sapagkat nitong mga nakaraang
araw ayaw niyang tumigil sa
pagdadaldal ng kanyang
sentimyento dahil sa hindi pag-
extend ni incoming President
Noynoy Aquino sa kanyang
termino bilang AFP Chief.
Sa mga ginawang
pagpapa-interview ni Bangit
sa media at sa kanyang mga
binitiwang salita nitong mga
nakaraang araw, lumilitaw na
gusto pa rin niyang kumapit
na parang tuko sa posisyon
ng AFP Chief.
Sa halip na magdadakdak
sa kase-sentimyento dapat
magpasalamat na lang si Bangit
dahil sa sobrang pagkasuwerte
niya kumpara sa ibang mga
kasamahan niya sa AFP.
Masuwerte siya at naging
adopted member ng kanyang
PMA Class ‘78 si Pangulong
Gloria Arroyo.
Masuwerte siya at siya’y
naluklok sa iba pang mga
makapangyarihang posisyon
sa AFP tulad ng Chief ng Presi-
dential Security Group, Com-
manding General ng 2nd Infantry

Verzosa fights ‘spoilers’ of environment
PHILIPPINE National Po-
lice Chief Director General
Jesus A. Versoza has ordered
a crackdown on ‘spoilers’ of
the environment as he under-
scored the need for the citizenry
to be empowered in sharing
with both the national and lo-
cal governments the responsi-
bility to protect the environ-
ment.
Versoza made the remarks
as the PNP signed a memoran-
dum of agreement with the
University of Sto. Tomas Medi-
cal Association headed by
USTMAA 1985 Medicine

biyayang natanggap niya dahil
sa pagiging malapit kay Arroyo.
Masuwerte siya at natikman
niyang maging AFP Chief, ang
ultimate dream ng bawat
opisyal ng AFP. Masuwerte siya
sa kabila ng maraming mas
senior sa kanya, partikular na
ang mga taga Class ’77, siya
pa rin ang hinirang bilang
Chief ng AFP. Sa muli, ito ay
dahil sa kanyang pagiging
paborito ni Arroyo.
Sana nakuntento na si Bangit
sa kanyang mga natikmang
biyaya. Sana nang lumabas ang
resulta ng nakaraang eleksyon
na si Noynoy Aquino na ang
nananalo, ang pinakamortal na
kalaban ni Arroyo na kanyang

umpisa pa lang ay wala nang
tiwala sa kanya si Aquino dahil
kilala siyang super dikit kay
Arroyo. Kapag ginawa niya iyon
mas bumilib pa sana sa kanya
ang marami at lumabas siyang
kagalang-galang, at hindi isang
bingit na kaawa-awa.
Sabi pa nga ng isang
kaibigang opisyal ng AFP sa
inyong SHOOTER, kumukuha
lang daw ng simpatiya si Bangit
sa mga sundalo kaya
nagpapaawa effect ito. Nang
tanungin ko naman ang
nasabing kaibigan kung ano
ang agenda ni Bangit sa
kanyang pagpapaawa effect?
Sinabi ng aking kaibigan na
baka umaasa pa raw ng
“milagro.”
Pero sabay dugtong naman
niya na hindi papayag ang mga
sundalo dahil overwhelming
ang botong nakuha ni Aquino
sa nakaraang eleksyon. Ang ibig
sabihin ng aking kaibigan, di
susunod ang mga sundalo sa
iligal na utos at pagkikilos.

Versoza reiterated that the

well.”
The Pulis Makakalikasan

Magaling na pili ni P.Noy
BUONG paggalang kong
hinahangaan si Ma’am Leila
De Lima. Maraming ibig
sabihin para sa akin ang
salitang sexy at lahat yun ay
mga kahanga-hangang
katangian ng isang babae.
First year college ako sa
Law school sa San Beda nang una kong nakilala si Profes-
sor Leila de Lima. Marami kaming mga bagitong estudyante
noon na humahanga sa kanya.
Una sa lahat dahil magaling siyang propesora, mahusay
magturo at sexy pa. Sabado ng hapon ang klase namin sa
Statutory Construction, dalawang oras namin kasama si
Ma’am Leila.
Super enjoy ang klaseng yun dahil magaling magturo ang
aming guro, palabiro, masaya, at madaling patawanin.
Kaibigan ng buong klase si Leila de Lima. Pero kwidaw ka,
matapang ang babaeng ito.
Mahigpit sa klase at strikto sa lessons. Minsan, naalala
ko, may isang classmate kami na mali ang sagot at
pinagtawanan ng klase, nahuli ako ni Ma’am Leila na
tumatawa din kaya buong oras niya akong pinag-recite bilang
parusa. Pero patas magbigay ng grade si Ma’am. Sikreto na
lang at hindi ko na sasabihin sa inyo kung ano ang grade na
nakuha ko sa klase nya.
Natutuwa ako sa balitang si Ma’am Leila ang magiging
Secretary of Justice ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino. Proud
ako na minsan ay naging bahagi sya ng buhay ko bilang
estudyante, bilang abogado.
Hanggang ngayon aral na natutunan ko sa klase niya
ang kahalagahan ng kredibilidad ng isang abogado. Ang
klase namin kay Ma’am Leila na Statutory Construction ay
tungkol sa maayos at tamang interpretasyon ng batas.
Mahalaga ito para sa isang Justice Secretary. Magaling dito
si Ma’am Leila kaya sigurado akong magiging asset siya at
makakatulong ng malaki sa administrasyong Aquino bilang
timon ng Departamento ng Hustisya ng bansa.
Higit sa lahat malinis ang reputasyon ni Leila de Lima,
mataas ang kredibilidad at kilalang patas humusga. Kahit
Commission on Human Rights Chairman siya ng
administrasyong Arroyo, hindi matatawaran ang kanyang
kredibilidad na hindi nadungisan. Wala siyang political color
at hindi identified kahit na kaninong nasa mataas na
kapangyarihan.
A breath of fresh air, sabi nga. Si Leila De Lima ang klase
ng personalidad na magiging positibo ang epekto sa
administrasyon ni Aquino. Bago siya napunta sa CHR, alam
ng marami na isa siyang magaling na elections lawyer.
Napakagaling ng pagkakapiling ito ni P.Noy kay Ma’am ko
para Justice Secretary.
Sayang lang at maiiwan ni Ma’am ang CHR na umangat
ang reputasyon nang hawakan niya. Pero mas malaki naman
ang magiging kontribusyon niya sa Department of Justice.
Watch out for this lady lawyer – Leila De Lima – she will go
places at alam kong magiging kahanga-hanga siyang pub-
lic servant.

Rebel leader and his two men fall

GMA: Get Maguindanao witness killers
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
yesterday ordered police and the military
to arrest the killers of the key witness in the
gruesome Maguindanao massacre last year.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Prof.
Gary Olivar said the Palace is ‘outraged’
by the latest development in the case against
the Ampatuan clan.
“We have directed our security forces to
take all necessary measures to apprehend
the perpetrators, utilizing all the special
powers available under the state of emer-
gency that the president declared and con-
tinues to maintain in the province.” Olivar
said.
It will be recalled that the President gave
her nod to the retention of the state of emer-
gency in Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat and
South Cotabato upon the recommendation
of the defense officials and the DILG in the
wake of the persistent threats of private
armed groups in the region.
Olivar reacted to reports that key wit-
ness, Suwaib Upham, in the trial of the
Ampatuans has been shot dead.

Pimentel advises Kris to focus on fixing her marriage

SENATE Minority
Leader Aquilino Pimentel,
Jr. advised controversial
movie actress-host Kris
Aquino-Yap, sister of Presi-
dent-elect Benigno
“Noynoy” Aquino III to fo-
cus on fixing her marriage
instead of meddling into
Senate affairs.
Pimentel said the report
that Aquino’s youngest sis-
ter is working behind scenes
to install Sen. Francis
Pangilinan as the next Sen-
ate President has been denied
but Aquino-Yap is reportedly
now in the throes of a mar-
riage problem.
“It might be better to con-
centrate on her problem rather
than dab into political mat-
ters," Pimentel said.
He was referring to reports
that Kris and her husband,
basketball player James Yap,
were having marital problems.
Kris had denied reports
that she called up Senators
Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada,
Lito Lapid, Ramon "Bong"
Revilla, and Juan Miguel
Zubiri to rally behind
Pangilinan instead of fel-
low Liberal Sen. Frank
Drilon who is also eyeing
the Senate presidency.
Nacionalista Party presi-
dent, Sen.Manuel Villar, Jr.
also wanted to become Sen-
ate head for the second time.
