With the 5% decline of President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte’s satisfactory ratings based on the latest survey of the Social
Weather Station (SWS), the combined forces of the Philippine Opposition
rejoices. But with the analysis of Jun
Avelino, everything is going as expected on the side of the State and
the glee and joy that the Opposers wear on their snuck faces are to fade away
fast and sooner than expected.
Avelino, posted an article entitled “The
impregnability of the Duterte Presidency despite Satisfaction Rating Decline;
an Analysis” through the best means to reach the public, the social media
network Facebook.
He declared that the decline was expected
due to the government’s recently implemented policy against tambays
(bystanders) and their tirade with the Church. The opposition on the other hand
in colors of red and yellow rejoice and try to exploit this but sadly, as
Avelino stated, they can’t since it is already negligible in their stead as it
came too late.
Combined Opposition’s losses
In the current scenario of the war between
the government and combined opposition, the red communists are in a tangle as
the Communist Party of the Philippines Founding Father Joma Sison just
presented his tantrum that left a bitter aftertaste on the tongues and minds of
the masses, declaring war after the President postponed the peace talks with
them due to the importance of public feedback. Since after all Duterte
represents the people.
This delay caused the gentle old communist
leader to go on full rampage and show the people his true demonic aura and
colors, thus turning the tides on public perception of the reds without the
government needing to lift a finger.
But with this being stated, we must not
forget that the Opposition also composes of the Church which apparently is
divided internally due to the press statements of father Robert Reyes that
defaces the unity and incorruptibility of the Church, alongside the supposed
trust that they have for one another.
Then there is the yellow Liberal Party
which went on full assault after the assassinations of local government leaders
like Mayor Antonio Halili of Tanauan, Batangas. Senator Risa Hontiveros even
called it an attack on democracy. But the underlying facts were that this mayor
used to be part of the yellows under the time of former President and Liberal
Party Chairman Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino. He left the party list during
the time of Aquino while he was being alleged of involved in drugs, soon after
he decided to join Duterte’s campaigns against drugs and was a forefront in
Batangas, dubbing him a title after the President, “The Duterte of Batangas”.
And while everyone is so blindly aiming the
gun at the President since Halili was part of the NarcoList, no one ever
questioned the motive and beneficiary behind the assassination, how would the
government ever benefit from it? On the contrary, would the opposition do? Did Halili have something up against the
Liberals that is drug-related? If that’s the case, then as Avelino stated, “who benefits from his death by hitting 2
birds in one bullet?”
Well we’ve single’d out every member of
this combined opposition, let’s dwell further into their combined efforts. The
controversial tarpaulin that states “Welcome to the Philippines Province of
China”, isn’t that something that the government won’t benefit from? Then who
should we point our guns at? This is but
another “cheap gimmickry” of the combined opposition, since in what universe
would the Philippines be under China when the talks are respectively bilateral.
Unlike compared to the former western allies that took advantage of our needs.
The silver lining here is huge, as Avelino
is trying to tell. This may be the “rock bottom” of Duterte’s ratings since the
incoming of a huge wave of change is coming, change for the better and not some
Aquino-certified change.
A new Chief Justice is to be appointed, a
new Ombudsman will take the place of Conchita Morales as she retires on July
23, 2018. Two large legal fronts that will bring in a barrage of plunder and
graft cases that will gun down the destabilizing Yellows out and finally unite
the Philippines, possibly as corrupt free as it could get.
The long term “investments” that the
government put in the policies that were met with distaste would bear the
sweetest fruit that it could since the people will realize the effects of the
Anti-drug campaign and anti-tambay policy as a way of making the streets safer
for the people, the BUILD BUILD BUILD project as a way of helping the poor as
well as improving the economic situation of the Philippines and the government
being clear of manipulative people who wear their righteousness as a front for
their backstabbing acts against the people.
Current surveys show that the magic 12
candidatorial senators bear no yellow on them, thus expulsing the Liberal’s
grab on legislation by 2019. Trillanes with all his profound skill in being a
jest and Bam Aquino walking like his cousin in the shadow of their predecessors
will both find no place in the Senate. While Alejano and Lagman will most possibly
join the two front lining senators of their party list.
The proposed Constitution will certainly
eliminate the red’s block of congressmen and women as well as other
anti-government groups in the Legislative branch of the government thus slowly
killing of the opposition through cutting all their supplies and resources.
This will put the Duterte administration on
full offensive, eventually winning the war that was started by the opposition
that the President was ready to co-exist with.
And if they choose to hardline their
opposition by assassinating the President, then feel free to wish your dreams
goodbye since the Military and the Police will join forces with the people,
literally aiming their guns at the communists to prevent them from taking
power.
A repetition of the time of the
assassinated Ninoy Aquino but with an ironic twist, the once-victims lived long
enough to become the suspects.
Conclusion
So with all of that being explained by
Avelino, we can say that the Yellows may feel like they’ve won the battle
against the government when in reality, they are about to get nuked by the
biggest bomb that Duterte has to offer, the combined forces of the Judiciary,
Ombudsman, Military, Police and with the most important factor, the people who
are tired of the combined Opposition’s facades and false promises.
