BULL’S HIT
Rudy Garcia

BAGUIO CITY -- I wonder how this new building at Tabora Park (Formerly Rabbit Sink Hole) was constructed without a building permit. The lot where this structure was built is owned by Baguio councilor Galo Weygan. A report by my bubwit said several establishments are now occupying the building and operating without business permits.

Several notices were given to the building owner/s by the city building and architectural office but to no avail. One insider who is a barangay official in the area revealed to my bubwit that a case is now pending and not being acted upon by the city council.

I don’t want to think that Weygan has something to do with this. I have known this old man then. He was strict on violators and I wonder now why something smells fishy. I am not saying that the good councilor is now rubbing elbows with his colleagues in the council, reason why this building on his lot seems to be “untouchable.”

“Ano sey mo Councilor Weygan at Punong Barangay Apo Amagen? “How about Mr. Cristio Lagyop of the City Permits and Licensing Office? Did he make an inspection on these establishments in the building? If no, why? If he did, then I wonder, again. Why?

Now that Dr. Hayden Kho has been stripped off of his license to practice his profession as a doctor by the Philippine Regulations Commission because of that controversial sex video with actress Katrina Halili, he can shift to other professions if he still fails to overturn the decision in court.

Of course, Hayden Kho cannot just play the game of Hayden sick (hide and seek) but he could excel more on making sex videos as his business or he could be a good actor or a director for a cheap pornographic film. If he could not still make it then, there are a lot of gay bars out there who are always on the run to have his service. From a doctor to a macho dancer perhaps this makes a good story for a biographical film.

I thought a while that our cops in uniform are now behaving like what we expected them to be now that the Philippine National Police ordered their commanders to implement strict discipline.

But it turns out there are still bad eggs among the police and it’s a disgust to note that those who are rookies or newcomers in lowly ranks are the ones who most often abuse their position. Take for example what my bubwit witnessed last Nov. 23 at about 10 p.m. at the intersection of Upper Burgos and Lower Magsaysay Ave. in front of the adjacent beer houses.

A certain PO1 Jackson Ninjeňa of the Chaplain Service Dept. at Camp Dangwa who was reportedly drunk tried to draw his gun to shoot a companion whom he had an earlier altercation in full public view.

Luckily, his gun was locked and did not fire when he pulled the trigger. Attention regional police director Chief Supt. Orlando Pestaňo Jr. Maybe you can do some good whipping on this stupid cop who thought he is the resurrected Django of the old Wild Wild West.

How true is it that there is a peryahan at Aurora Hill near the intersection of Bayan park and Brookpoint in Baguio? Nothing wrong perhaps, but my bubwit said there is illegal gambling goin on there likecolor game, drop ball, pulley and so forth. According to my bubwit people there told him there is a “blessing” from top officials at City Hall. Is this true?

I also wonder how this activity could operate when it is only few meters from a police precinct and stone’s throw away from the barangay outpost. Another cashsunduan?

The recent massacre at Maguindanao that killed around 50 civilians including colleagues in media is horrifying and should be condemned by all sectors. Concerned authorities should now exercise their powers to go after the perpetrators and punish them the soonest possible.

If reports are true that the reason for the massacre is political and no other than political and the Ampatuans, a warlord family are the ones behind, then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, as commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines should order the immediate arrest of the perpetrators and disarm their private army including police and military that are being used as security personnel of the Ampatuans.

Those who survived should be given tight protection and given moral support so they can spill the beans on the truth. Again, this column condemns the incident and urges the authorities to punish these berdugos who don’t have the right to live in this world even for a minute. Better still, hang these criminals in a public plaza and let the public beat them the pinikpikan (an indigenous way of killing chicken in the Cordillera by beating it black and blue then singeing its feathers)..

Filipino’s have an additional pride in the person of Efren Peňaflorida who was the CNN hero of the year 2009. After Manny Pacquaio, educator Penaflorida brought pride for the Pinoys because of his Klasrum Karitun. If he runs for presidential the coming election, I guess he would be far ahead than any presidential aspirant up to the finish line.

This, considering that it’s not yet clear if Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio would be as lucky as Penaflorida on politics. I guess everybody loves Manny being a boxing hero and not as a politician. If he decides to enter politics, he could become a punching bag on the arena of dirty politics and worst, could be a knockout victim, wanna bet?
