Risa Hontiveros is Not My Senator.

Why?

On Education

AKBAYAN Rep. Risa Hontiveros and their allied youth groups in the different State Universities and Colleges are widely known for their anti-student stand on the issue of tuition and other fee increases. Closer to us, AKBAYAN and their allied youth groups in UP has taken the side of the administration in the issue of tuition and other fee increases. They are for the passing of the 300% TOFI in UP.

Hontiveros and her partylist believe that government spending on education is low. They are insisting that the government should prioritize education and follow UNESCO’s recommendation of allocating the 6 percent of GNP to education spending. BUT. But they were not there when students were fighting for a higher state subsidy. Another lip-service. Instead of uniting with the students in their call for a higher state subsidy, they are “parroting” the line of the administration that TOFI is just timely.

MY SENATOR SHOULD RECOGNIZE OUR RIGHT TO EDUCATION. RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

On Student’s Rights

She co-authored the fake Magna Carta of Students or the Student’s Rights and Welfare Bill. Instead of protecting the interests, rights and welfare of the students, the bill will limit these things. They continue to lobby this inside the Congress and in other schools through different activities. Deception. Last time I checked, “no one” attended the STRAWBS forum in UP Manila last year.

MY SENATOR SHOULD RECOGNIZE AND PROMOTE THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS OF STUDENTS. RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

From "Kailangan ng Laban" to "Magandang Laban"

On Agrarian Reform

She lobbied for the passage of a fake agrarian reform bill. She co-authored the CARPER Bill or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms Bill. CARPER is a fake agrarian reform bill that is worse than the existing CARP that will benefit the already rich landlords especially the Arroyos, Aquinos and Cojuangcos. Why would PGMA ask her allies in the Congress to immediately pass the bill? Because CARPER is designed to fail. Lands will not be distributed. She is not for the farmers.

MY SENATOR SHOULD SUPPORT THE CAUSE OF THE FARMERS AND THE OTHER SECTORS OF THE SOCIETY. RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

On Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza

She is “stupid.” Red-baiting is a cheap tactic. She parrots the line of the AFP that Liza Maza and Satur Ocampo are leaders of CPP-NPA. Can’t she just accept the truth? The Supreme Court of the Philippines already proved and decided that Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza are not in any way connected to NPA. This decision was supported by the United Nations and the US Government. Risa Hontiveros is investing on negative campaigning. Shooting other targets down to gain votes. Pathetic.

MY SENATOR SHOULD NOT TELL LIES. MOVE ON! RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

Tambalang Liza at Satur

On Traditional Politics

Hontiveros is a traditional politician. Proof? What can you say about her TV advertisements? It’s all about the mysterious and unsubstantiated “Magandang Laban.” What the hell is “Magandang Laban?” Hindi naman siya maganda. At lalong hindi naman siya kasama sa laban. Nahawa na ata kay Noynoy. Instead of presenting her plans or her platform on her Ads, sumasayaw lang siya at nagpapa-endorse sa mga sikat na tao. MAGANDANG LABAN?

MY SENATOR SHOULD PROMOTE PRO-PEOPLE PLATFORM-BASED POLITICS. RAISE THE LEVEL OF POLITICS! RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

On Tactical Alliance with the Liberal Party

Why is Risa Hontiveros with Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas? Why is she with Ralph Recto (EVAT)? Noy-Mar are rabid supporters of the US neoliberal policies. She and her partylist keep on denouncing the US neoliberal policies and E-VAT. They considered it as evil. Ito nga daw ang problema ng ating bansa. But what happened? Why is she with Noynoy and Mar? With Ralph Recto? What kind of tactical alliance is this? Makasama na lang. Pagandahan na lang ng laban.

MY SENATOR SHOULD BE PRINCIPLED, FIRM AND CONSISTENT. HE/SHE SHOULD ALSO PROMOTE A PRO-FILIPINO SYSTEM OF ECONOMY. RISA HONTIVEROS IS NOT MY SENATOR.

Risa Hontiveros with Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas

Sasama ka pa rin ba sa Magandang Laban? Risa Hontiveros is not the people’s senator. An opportunistic and fake nationalist leader-legislator is not what we need in this time of poverty and corruption. Sino ba dapat ang nasa Senado? ALAM NA!

Doon ka dapat sa Sure!

Matapang at Makamasa!

  1. Mean kayo guys. You don’t make fun of dumb animals. Baka isumbong tayo kay “No Bell Peace Price” awardee Risa Hontiveros.

  2. Nabasa ko na yung anti-Cleve (wow sikat ka na) statement ng Akbayan Youth-SCAP-MASP.

    1. Hindi nila kinikilala ang usefulness ng pag-basura ng 2000% Tuition Increase sa PUP. Hindi tulad ng mga ibang magulang na bagama’t hindi sila nag-aapprove sa “methods” na ginamit sa PUP protests, nagpapasalamat sila dahil natigil yung Increase. E yung Akbayan camp? Talagang galit na galit sila sa protesta na naganap. Bakit kaya? Dahil kaya pro-TFI sila? Marahil, kung titignan natin ang inasal ng kanilang mga miyembro sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas noong 2006 (panahon ng pagtaas ng matrikula sa UP).

    2. Galit na galit sa pag-bato ng pintura kay UPLB chancellor Rey Velasco. Pero hindi sila nagsalita noong iniipit ni Velasco ang mga UPLB student leaders, kasama ang dating Student Regent na si Charisse Banez. Napatunayan na walang basehan rin ang mga kasong sinampa dahil binawi na siya ng UPLB admin. Kung mali naman pala yung mga kaso, bakit hindi tumutol ang Akbayan camp dito? Bakit wala silang ginawa para sa mga biktima ni Velasco? Marahil kaya ay pro-School Administration siya?

    3. Hindi pa rin nila maipaliwanag bakit mas mabuti ang CARPER kesa sa CARP, much less sa GARB. Motherhood statements pa rin. Para magmukhang credible, nag-ccite sila ng iilang mga local peasant communities na di-umano ay natulungan nila. Kung ibabatay mo rin sa kanilang sariling argument, ano ba ang binatbat ng iilang communities sa isang nationwide-coordinated action ng mga peasants all over the country. Hindi ba ang KMP-Anakpawis ang nag-lead sa pag-martsa ng mga magsasaka mula as far south as Davao and as far north as Cagayan papuntang Metro Manila. Magreresort na nga lang sila sa paramihan ng supporters, yun pala, palpak sila dun.

    4. Pinipilit pa rin ng Akbayan camp na porke’t hindi kinokondena ng MAKABAYAN ang CPP-NPA, automatically ay mga “fronts” o “members” na ito ng sumunod na grupo. Parang panahon lang ni U.S Senator Joseph McCarthy. Kapag hindi mo ginawa ito o ganyan, automatically ikaw ay ‘komunista’.

    Alam kaya ng Akbayan ang ‘innocent until proven guilty’ bilang isang demokratikong konsepto? Bakit kaya pinagpipilitan nila ang isang bagay na ibinasura ng Supreme Court at ng United Nations Special Rapporteur? Kung ang terminong ‘McCarthyism’ ay ginagamit para sa mga ‘hysterical witchhunts’, baka maging lokal version natin ang ‘Akbayanism’.

    5. Mukhang hindi na nila kayang makipag-sagutan. Kaya nagsusumbong na sa mga supporters at pinipilit i-polarize ang kanilang mga less-rabid supporters.

    6. Bakit hindi na ipinagtanggol ang No Bell Peace Price ni Hontiveros?

  4. Hi! You have presented your point well. But I think, it could have been stronger if you backed up them with a solid and detailed evidences. We may vary with our political view, but I respect yours.
