Nine years of darkness

We are facing nine years of darkness if our string of bad luck continues: three remaining years of BBM and six years of the brat, assuming the surveys are right and she will be elected in 2028.

- BOO CHANCO

Our only hope now is for BBM to get out of his lackadaisical mode and move as if his life depends on it. Those bastards responsible for this massive corruption scandal must go to jail soonest. Otherwise, an unspeakable nightmare is our future.

It’s the fault of our voters who stupidly elected two people with no proven ability for good governance. Both are just nepo babies of previous strongmen. What is happening now shouldn't be surprising.

In the face of this trillion-peso robbery of the treasury, the sitting nepo baby should be eager to save his ass. A recent survey showed the brat at the top of the list of candidates who may be elected president in 2028. That’s not counting the possibility that the old man may croak at The Hague. That should give BBM nightmares.

BBM may not mind being exiled the second time but his children’s future will be dim.

As I pointed out in a past column, it all starts with BBM. He signed the budget used to legally scam the taxpayers. He failed to veto the provisions that provided the legal means for carrying out ghost projects. His DBM Secretary didn’t warn him that he is signing the permission for ghost projects.

In a sense, there is blood in BBM’s hands. There is no way BBM can claim he didn’t know. His son is Deputy Speaker and should have known and should have told him about the insertions in the budget. Unless they are also looking forward to the fruits of insertions.

That’s why BBM should make a clean breast of it, admit his shortcoming that allowed the mess to happen and ask the people to trust him to fix things. A mea culpa will improve credibility.
