Opinion: Brave and Brilliant Catholic Bishop Reminds President Marcos Jr. of Unanswered Election Questions and other Pending Accountabilities; Compromise will Solve Debt Ceiling Crisis in D.C. that Threatens U.S. Economy By Manuel L. Caballero


ON MY WATCH
BY  MANUEL L. CABALLERO


BRAVE AND BRILLIANT CATHOLIC  BISHOP REMINDS PRES. MARCOS, JR. OF UNANSWERED ELECTION QUESTIONS AND OTHER PENDING ACCOUNTABILITIES; COMPROMISE WILL SOLVE DEBT CEILING CRISIS IN DC THAT THREATENS US ECONOMY



There is no let up on the part of concerned Filipinos who want to find the truth about what really happened during  the May 9, 2022 election  in the Philippines. More and more Filipinos everywhere have awakened. Look at the photos below of Filipino Americans from New York and New Jersey when they held a protest rally against the PH Comelec early this month in front of the PH  Consulate in New York City.




Accusations are flying that the PH Commission on Election allegedly masterminded the manipulation of election counts. This, in addition to reported massive vote-buying and voter intimidation in the precinct level. Thus, prompting a distinguished member of the International Observer Team that watched the conduct of the 2022 election to say she thought Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte were "illegitimately elected."



A  recent demonstration by progressive Pinoys in front of the COMELEC  building in Manila demanded the resignation of all its commissioners. There is a pending action to seek the ouster of the Comelec commissioners by congressional act pursuant to the Constitution.


The bold and  brilliant Catholic Bishop Ambo David, in a recent  social media post, reminded Mr. Marcos, Jr. about the many questions he needs to answer pertaining to his family's misinformation campaign to revise the history of his father's brutal martial law years. And that he has accountabilities to the Filipino people on how he "won" the presidency.


Last week, in a commencement speech at the University of California-Berkeley, which, became viral,  Coby Lim, a Filipino graduate computer engineer denounced how most likely, unethical computer engineers helped Mr. Marcos Jr. "win" the presidency of the PH. In short, it could have been a computer manipulated election based on his research and study.


If for any reason, Mr. Marcos, Jr. Is unable to finish his 6-year term, or even if he finishes, without answers to the questions posed by Bishop Ambo, he will go down in PH history just like his father, as well as , his predecessor, disgraced, condemned and unpopular.

Only a meaningful and selfless compromise can solve the debt ceiling crisis in Washington D.C. which  threatens the soundness of the US economy and daily life of Americans. Both parties should set aside politics and pay attention to what is the worst that could happen to America if they insist on their respective politics. Too much of anything, including politics, is not good. Compared to the sacrifices of those who gave their lives in the service of this country, resolving the debt-ceiling crisis by setting aside political agendas is a small thing.

Happy Memorial Day!
