FROM THE EMAILBOX: MAR ROXAS AND HIS GRANDFATHER

What?? isa lang ang issue n'yo kay Roxas?

The act of mar roxas in leading the senate drive to ratify JPEPA last year is definite;y another issue against him and in fact it's the biggest issue, enough for all right-minded Filipinos with a sense of duty to country to block his bid for the top seat. the issue is the crime of TREASON whether committed wilfully by some senators like roxas, manny villar and miriam santiago, or committed in irresponsible ignorance by others who voted likewise to ratify JPEPA. it outweighs mar's other issues and his supposed merits (no corruption daw, implying that he committed treason for free).

mar's grandfather led the LP team that ratified the Parity Rights Agreement for the US interests. Mar's equivalent for Japan (JPEPA ratification) was worse because JPEPA is a disparity agreement. Parity Agreement put US citizens at parity with Filipinos in the expoitation of Philippine resources; JPEPA even put Japanese citizens at an advantage over Filipinos in doing business in our own country. This was very clearly explained to the senators and to everybody else by the Fair Trade Alliance led by former Sen. Bobby Tanada and by presentors in hearings chaired by mar roxas himself before the ratification vote. roxas even admitted that RP had nothing to gain by ratifying JPEPA, but went on with his unexplained logic that we can't afford to be "left out."

Kawawa naman ang Pilipinas kung talagang kay roxas na lang pwedeng ipagkatiwala ang presidency, dahil lang sa ayaw natin sa corrupt, di naman tayo kakampi sa traydor! even assuming mar is really clean, TREASON IS ON A MUCH HIGHER PLANE THAN CORRUPTION! Of course i am willing to discuss this with anyone, including the treasonous senators who ratified JPEPA.(but i would not even think of helping them in any way. their crime is not quite easily forgotten in a few dozen decades.)
thenkful cheers!
