SO, that means they admit for sure, that Habier Malik, the chief right-hand of disgraced Moro National Liberation Front Chieftain Nur Misuari, is very much alive.
The fact, that the court issued him the warrant of arrest, it only behooves and yields to its own presumptuous stand that indeed Ustadz Malik- the leader of the renegade MNLF band that sow massive devastation in mi Ciudad de Zamboanga last September for three consecutive weeks starting on the 9th – is very much alive and kicking.
Now, many are still at a loss as where is Malik’s true whereabouts since he supposedly made his great escape from the siege they laid upon on at least 6 urban barangays, just a stone’s throw away from the City’s seat of governance.
THIS is one ticklish issue being pushed forth by a well-respected legal luminary in mi ciudad de Zamboanga. If such a legal avenue was carved by our top gov’t lawyers here, this seasoned legal practitioner in mi Ciudad de Zamboanga is cynical about their move on the Malik brouhaha. Short of mentioning their fave legal term, “Ignoramus of the law.”
Ouch!
MY great mathematician-friend, an engineer by profession, was somehow hovering his mind while sitting on his table one morning. Then, he blurted, as if having discovered a concealing pin in the stack.
“Prims, keber gale’ tu, how much the city government is spending for all these thousands of evacuees displaced by the two crises?”
He went on to sum up the City’s proposed new budget under new Mayor Beng Climaco-Salazar, amounting to some P2.4 billion for year 2014.
He continued with his eyes getting reddish and wet through: “Let’s say, we have a rough estimate of 120,000 evacuees, and let’s say each of them is rationed at P40 per meal a day. If you multiply those 2 figures, it’ll mean we have to spend P4, 800,000 per meal a day. Now, if you still multiply by 3 (meals per day), the total expenditures will amount to P14, 400,000 a day.
Now, if you further multiply it by 30 days (we have in a month), the amount shoots up the more to P432 million a month. Still, you multiply this already mammoth figure by 12 (months in a year), the City Government’s total expenses for all these numbered displaced evacuees is colossal- a staggering P5 billion plus!
Myatay na!
NOW, it you, for the last time, multiply it by 3 (years, Mayor Beng’s first three-year term in office), its overall total is over the P15 billion mark.
Mamamiyahh! Ay mia ya kita na de aton calson nohay na ora este. “Baca’ man igit pa gaha Pencing ya umenta pa si Bogs, paka bastos deste. “Na, pranca, pranca ya lang Pencing. Pone’ tu se, ya pega pa su amenaso canaton.”
IN other words, the City’s proposed annual budget for 2014 of P2.4 billion is still short by even more than double its amount. Acaba ya kita este!
