A contractor in my province reacted on my news article's Projects in DPWH's Districts are Fixed. CLICK HERE TO READ

When I mentioned there the S.O.P or bribe given by a contractor who won the bid at the Department of Public Works & Highway on the multi-million pesos’ construction of government infrastructure to a congressman and the DPWH’s district engineer, he said the bribe given to a solon, National Irrigation Administration’s Provincial Manager, and others in Central and Eastern Pangasinan vary.

“Pare, don’t quote me. Ang bigayan sa Eastern Pangasinan sa construction ng school building ay 12%; Roads and Flood Construction Project 20%; Irrigation 10%”.

In Central Pangasinan, he said the S.O.P is lower.

“Geez, the greed of politicians and public officials in that part of the province is moderate,” I told myself.

The source said the bribe for the school project is 8%; Road and Flood Control 10%, NIA 3 % to 5% .

“Mabuti pa noong congressman si Mark Cojuangco, hindi siya humihingi ng S.O.P,” he reminisced one of the few solons in the country who rejected bribery.

During the terms of Mark and wife former congresswoman Kimi Cojuangco at the Fifth District, contractors grudgingly lauded their bribe - free morality.

"Sige na, huwag mo na akong bigyan. Iyong SOP ko idagdag mo na lang doon sa quality ng kalsada," Mark told a contractor.

But there was a conundrum: Contractors would prefer to bribe the congressmen than dealing with the Cojuangcos.

“They were very strict, they saw to it that the buildings and highways were built on the standard mandated by law”.

There was a case where Mark Cojuangco told us reporters that he chided the district engineer of the DPWH.

“Tinanong ko kung iyong mga ugat ng acacia ay tinangal bago ni semento and kalsada. Ang sabi hindi. Nagalit ako dahil magiging ampaw iyong ugat at babagsak ang semento ng kalsada doble’ gastos sa gobyerno,” he said.

When I told a congresswoman about the No Bribe Stance of the Cojuangcos, this what she told me: Ikaw naman Mortz, e mayayaman na iyang mga Cojuangcos kaya hinde na nila kailangan ang lagay.

A congresswoman— who is besieged because of the naked photos and “sexual threesomes” she indulged with her husband and female staff — announced recently that she is resigning from the House of Representatives.

The freshman lawmaker was also the target of a House Ethics Committee probe over allegations she was romantically involved with her current male legislative director or chief of staff.

The 32 years old solon had vehemently denied being involved with the director but did admit to a sexual relationship with a 24 years old former female campaign staffer while married to her now-estranged husband.

The openly bisexual congresswoman, we called LGBT or what the Bisayas called Lami Gihapon Bisag Tiguhang, told a reporter that she became involved with the campaign worker during the “final tumultuous years” of her abusive marriage to her husband.

“I know that even a consensual relationship with a subordinate is inappropriate, but I still allowed it to happen despite my better judgment,” she said
The pair’s relationship was first reported by a conservative online news that backed up their claims by publishing a number of steamy photographs of the lady legislature and her subordinate.

One photo showed the two embracing and locked in a kiss.

Another photograph posted by the site showed the naked solon brushing the partner's hair.

The congresswoman’s husband had no problem with his wife’s interest in the 24 years old staff because he was a conspirator.

Last week, an online news published – with the lady solon naked holding a smoking bong and wearing what appeared to be a tattoo that looked like an Iron Cross on her bikini area.

A bong is a filtration device generally used for smoking marijuana, tobacco, or other herbal substances.

Just like the arguments of the friends of Apo Hiking Society’s composer and singer Jim Paredes who masturbated online, the lady solon argued that those photos published at the internet breached her privacy:

“Having private photos of personal moments weaponized against me has been an appalling invasion of my privacy. It’s also illegal, and we are currently pursuing all of our available legal options,” she said.

The resigning elected official is Democrat California Representative Katie Hill, Amerikana po. Si Jim Paredes, mga friends niya. at iyong mga kawatan na mga public officials ang mga Pilipino dito sa article.

STOP HAZING: Cavaliers Dialogue With PMA Cadets

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

Members of the Triple A or the Philippine Military Alumni Association, Inc. who called each other “cavalier” conducted recently a pep talk with the members of the “Long Gray Line” at Fort del Pilar, Baguio City after the brutal death of Cadet Fourth Class  Darwin Dormitorio at the hands of his upper classmen.
The two day meetings primordially to foil the evil of hazing and maltreatment ensued lately in the PMA compound where the PMAAA met separately the military and medical officials of the PMA, the upperclassmen composed of the yearlings (second year), cows (third year), and firsties (fourth year), and the brunt of the maltreatment the vulnerable plebes (first year).

“Let’s shout to the whole world so our voice can be heard that we never tolerated hazing. Marinig ng ating Chief of Staff, ng Secretary of National Defense, ng ating Presidente. Hip hip hooray,” former police two-star general and incumbent Lingayen Mayor Leopoldo Bataoil (PMA Class 1976) ended his rabble rousing speech, probably minted by his nine years as congressman, with his signature cheers of several “hip hips” that the upperclassmen enthusiastically responded with their “hooray” inside the hall where they converged. 

---

Bataoil, elected this year as mayor of Capital Town Lingayen, Pangasinan, told this writer that he was accompanied in that trumpet call by former congressmen Romeo Acop (PMA Class 1970), Samuel Pagdilao (PMA Class 1979) and Gary Alejano (PMA Class 1995) and a young Army Captain Ferdinand Quicho (PMA Class 2011) who was the Cadet Captain of his class.

 When asked by this writer if the plebes who dialogue with them were still stiffed, reticent, vacillated, and muffled afraid they would be branded as “squealer” a mortal sin because it’s a sign of weakness and betrayal before the eyes of the upperclassmen, Bataoil said that in that Saturday’s afternoon to dusk meeting these Fourth Class Cadets were told by their commandant, a star ranked now, and the cadets’ baron to speak freely with the Triple A members.

“Talagang sinabi namin na noon pa not to waste our time to find a solution to this problem even the problem of hazing which stained our beloved alma mater,” the former general told this writer.

He affirmed, when I told him, that he could relate with the Corps of Cadets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, or what they called CCAFP in brevity, because he was once a Senior Tactical Officer in 1989 when I was still a young struggling clerk of the same office’s Tactics Group under the leadership of that brawny Air Force and pilot Lieutenant Colonel Castro (geez, forgot his first name) and a dapper, er, snappy tall mestizo Army Colonel Victor Garcia whose ironed razor sharp creases uniform and his shiny black shoes impresses soldiers and cadets there.

“Maka relate kayo dahil tactical officer kayo. Sila General Pagdilao baka hindi pa iyon naging tactical officer,” I told him.

“Oo pero baron siya. He was Batch 1979 kaya ang ganda ng mixing namin. Doon sa Class of 2011 si Army Captain Ferdie Quicho baron din siya,” Bataoil, who still wear almost everyday that PMA class gold bullring, retorted.

The mayor said that he and his group wanted to eradicate maltreatment by the upper-class especially the yearlings, those second year who want to inflict what the previous year upper class had done to them, to the plebes because he was a victim of hazing too and was dismissed at the PMA when two second years manhandled a plebe.

“I was also very strict because there is a desire to maintain a level of perfection. A level of professionalism which has to be observed and complied by the plebe, by the underclassmen. When I became a second class man that was still my attitude my underclassmen to follow a high standard of performance. I was very strict”.

He said he had a nightmarish experience that shattered his dream and that of his family in Barangay Libsong, Lingayen.

“That’s what I got dismiss. I was already in my third year when two of my yearlings were involved in hazing and having been involved in hazing as the squad leader for the so called command responsibility I have to be dismissed”.

He graduated as member of Class 1976 and joined as second lieutenant the Philippine Constabulary -- the precursor of the present Philippine National Police.
Bataoil, who originally belonged to PMA Class 1975, strive to be reinstated and the leadership of the Academy acquiesced to his and those two yearlings desire.

“Luckily, we were reinstated. I became a proponent and advocate to hazing movement. Kadete pa lang ako noon advocate na ako  ng No To Hazing Movement because I went to it, shattered dreams. Kung hinde ako nakabalik hinde na ako PMAer. Pati parents ko…”.

 “Baka teacher na kayo ngayon sir doon sa Pangasinan National High School or engineer,” I cut him with a chuckle.

“Engineer ako. So I went through the experienced. I saved many upperclassmen to almost committing hazing. Sabi ko sa kanila ako na ang sasalo diyan. Baka ma-dismiss din kayo katulad ko. So pini pep-talk ko iyong mga upperclassmen, pini pep - talk ko ang mga plebes. I finally graduated,” he continued.

When I asked him if he saw plebes being manhandled by their seniors when he was a senior tactical officer, he said he surreptitiously and randomly checked the cadets at their buildings by listening if there were whimpers, agonies of pain, and whatchamacallit in their rooms.

“Kung meron humahalinghing diyan kako. “Sir, iba iyong halinghing, dumadaing” sabi nila. Sorry wrong choice of words kako. Tawanan iyong mga kadete. Anyway, that was what I did”. 

He said being a senior tactical officer training cadets he had sleepless nights because he was anxious that a plebe would be hurt by the upperclassmen.

“Bago ako matulog tinatawagan ko ang Corps Commander tinatanong ko if the Corp was okay”.

During his more than a year stint at the PMA he said no plebe died.

The still ramrod “PMAer” was optimistic that hazing and other form of maltreatment would be expunged in his alma mater.

“We believed the cadets are ready to transfer and accept changes on the eradication of hazing as they manifested all together when we were there,” he emphatically told this writer who was born and lived before with his military father on that one of Asia’s premier military schools located at Barangay Kias, Baguio City.

Isa na namang 4th Class Cadet o Plebo sa PMA ang namatay today (November 8) nalunod sa swimming pool.
