WHAT CRITERIA?

What criteria did Attorney base his choice on the appointment to the most sensitive and delicate post as area commander in the contentious person of Manong who pretended that his curriculum vitae has been tampered and exaggerated by a third party? Did he or did he not make any official investigation into this case when it was first brought to him before he made the appointment? Or did he just ignore it altogether in spite of clamors and contestations from the members against his decision in order to show his preference to him in exchange for special favors and recognition of gratitude or “utang na loob” for personal services rendered? (Please see the articles entitled “Too good to be true” and "Warning: don't ever be fooled or manipulated.")

Taking into consideration that if all of the entries under his educational background, professional experiences, language proficiency and references were heavily padded rather than over stated as he wanted to show it otherwise, what else were there left that could at least be worthwhile and acceptable for any scrupulous and serious evaluation that would make him qualify to such a highly responsible position which should require a person of an impeccable moral standing and principle who possesses a higher level or education or accomplishments as well as a brilliant professional career and experience plus an optional honorific title to boot in order to accede to such an enviable and respectable post of authority?

In betraying and desecrating the teachings and the true moral values to which Rizal had so bravely stood for that he sacrificed his own life for the sake of his country and people and for which the concept and framework of the organization was founded and set up, I strongly believe that Attorney has premeditatedly committed an ignominious misdemeanor in jeopardizing irremediably the name and honor of Rizal. I wonder how many officers and members under his command or sphere of influence were directly or indirectly implicated or involved in this abominable conspiracy to misappropriate and usurp their titles and positions in the performance of their duties within the organization solely for their own self-seeking motives in the pursuit of their personal ambitions at the expense of the hero to whom they have solemnly swore their allegiance of loyalty and respect.

I am so glad that I’m not a member because I wouldn’t like to be too bloody hypocrite to stay put and remain as if nothing has ever happened! Que barbaridad! On the contrary, if I were a knight I would immediately break rank in case irregularities and corruption would still persist, as my best alternative so that I could carry on and foster the untainted name of Rizal.

How could Attorney and his followers still show their faces at the forthcoming assembly in February when their heads are tucked inside their butts! (See the photo in the article entitled “Is this Attorney, Manong or their follower?” They should all be ashamed of themselves not only as Rizalists but also as Filipinos!
