Letters to the Editor – Aquino deserves no credit for Mary Jane Veloso’s temporary victory

Chief Editor April 29, 2015

FIVE YEARS OF INUTILITY, FIVE MINUTES OF FAKE EFFORT: AQUINO DESERVES NO CREDIT FOR MARY JANE’S TEMPORARY VICTORY…

Dear Editor,

Hello there. I am Anthony Rico Santos, and I am disgusted with how many media outlets try to project a positive image of Aquino, when he has done so little and so late. I hope this gets printed.

Thank you.

Tony Santos

 

Let us make a few things clear:

Mary Jane received no legal aid from the DFA or anyone under the Aquino administration, and the translator who was employed in her service a mere student who had no inkling with the legal process that Mary Jane had to understand.

She was in that impoverished state for five years.

It was the DFA and the rest of the gang from Aquino’s administration who said that they have done everything, but still could not bring Mary Jane back.

Aquino’s talk with Widodo was an informal one, similar to conversations on the sidewalks while smoking cigar, talking about the weather or checking up on what the other was doing in his life.

Their talk went on for five minutes.

For the administration and the members of mainstream media  who are on government payroll to say that Mary Jane’s temporary victory was due to the Aquino regime’s tireless efforts to help her in her case is not a just a laughable case of people having the gall to say such rubbish.

It is a betrayal of public trust, one that misleads others into thinking that there is hope with the current administration, and Mary Jane can be saved if only we entrust her case to the government.

It’s an act of propaganda for a government desperate to prolong itself in power, so it could milk more from the toils of its overseas workers and workers within the country.

Everyone who falls to the trap of believing what the government and most of the media outlets say is either one of those inutile government employees, underpaid media practitioners, or people who do not read enough to understand that all that Aquino ever did was to sit by and pretend that he was actually doing something.

It was the concrete and organized calls for the stop of the execution that urged Joko Widodo to reconsider the case of Mary Jane, in light of the surrender of the drug trafficker who is ultimately responsible for her current plight.

To believe that Aquino actually did something is make things worse for Mary Jane. It gives control of the case to people who are both insincere in giving aid to her. More importantly, she is only one among the 7,000 OFWs in prison today. What about the 6,999 whom till now remain unknown to the public? What is Aquino doing for them, if any at all? I dare anyone from the government to answer. (tonysantos9010@gmail.com)
