Walang Utang na Loob

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

I feel bad for Mar Roxas. The guy gave up his dream to be President and stepped aside for Noynoy. But what does he get for it? A double-cross so vicious and wicked that, if it were a crime, Noynoy would be liable for murder qualified by treachery.

How stupid can you be, Noy? Why did you allow the camp of Chiz Escudero to play a role -- any role -- in your team when you knew Chiz will never campaign for, much less endorse, Mar? You knew the two are potential rivals in 2016 and therefore Chiz was expected to endorse anybody but Mar. As it turned out, Chiz picked Binay, who is now leading Mar in the Vice-presidential race.

Really stupid! Talagang bobo! And if this is an indication of what's inside the kokote of Noynoy, which I now suspect is very little, we're in for 6 years of trouble. Abnoy talaga! And it hurts because I was counting on Mar to help an Aquino Government steer this country to prosperity.

I know we have to stop the culture of paying debts of gratitude, but this is an exception. There is no sleazy quid pro quo or anything like that here. Noynoy was only required to repay Mar with loyalty, a debt of gratitude that Mar deserved considering that aside from the fact he gave way to Noynoy, Mar's other reason for stepping aside was his noble attempt to unite the opposition.

How could Noynoy honestly say sorry to Mar now for allowing Chiz to sabotage the Noy-Mar tandem? He knew or should have known that Chiz would be laying the groundwork for his 2016 bid as early as now. Or was he just so stupid to recognize this? Abnoy talaga! This is the most wicked sabotage I have ever seen and a portent of things to come.

I can only imagine what Mar must be feeling right now. He must be very hurt as we, his supporters, all are. Mar has proven himself and if we're to examine the issues that have been raised against him during his entire public life, we could hardly hear, not even murmurs, of corruption. But ask Makati residents about Binay and the smell is as foul as the Inayawan landfill back here in Cebu. To me, when all you could throw at Mar is the fact that he's rich, it truly shows what we have lost today.

There's only one thing I can say to you Mr. President, wala kan'g utang na loob!
