Jovito Palparan is a classic model of such criminal with a grave mental sickness. His psychological affliction seeps deep into the dark recesses of his soul. His is a brand of sadism at its utmost, at its beastly diabolic worst.
Yes indeed, President Noynoy Aquino, by his own body language and pronouncements, has revealed the true dyed-in-the-wool trapo that he is. From a deceitful stance of a reformist leader as an elected state official, he has fast transformed into a political werewolf — power-thirsty! — no different from his predecessor whom he has frequently made a convenient scapegoat for all his kapalpakan.
I shared this poem which is written in popular verse and entitled Cry of Mindanao on the occasion of a Solidarity Forum attended by Fil-Ams who have come to Mindanao as delegates of a Solidarity Miossion to find out the situation in communities affected by calamities in recent months.
This and the over-all manifestation of anti-people policies of the government headed by President Noynoy Aquino would inevitably stimulate the creative insight of artists—poets and graphic artists alike—to structure into esthetic shapes their responses to what have unfolded on the ground.

Puppetry and Poverty are 2Ps that insure the futility and failure of President Noynoy’s program of 4Ps. How can he proclaim moral rectitude and vouch for matuwid na daan and emancipate the people from poverty with his nauseous puppetry to American imperialism? Puppetry begets graft and corruption. Poverty begets criminality. Graft and corruption forge partnership with criminality for the flourish of bureaucrat capitalism.
