FAITH

FAITH

Given some incontrovertible facts and antecedents presented by various news correspondents, I would say some intelligence fed to Duterte by drugs whisperers is not actually intelligent.  Proof of this would be some of the names minus their statuses written on the President’s list of the so-called shabu personalities.  If you are not accurate about the name and data of your ‘persons of interest,’ do what legitimate news people do, verify first please.

The notorious illegal drug issue/s today, as we know it as it is, deals with life and death, so let’s avoid to be victimized by mistaken identity as it’s only good for the movies.  But knowing Duterte, those who fed him with wrong feeds may have already been castigated as I now speak, if he did not dismiss them outright from the service.  For Duterte always have faith in his people.  Naturally, they should not put him in trouble.

Consider this, if your persons in charge of intelligence are not a stickler for accuracy in smaller things like ordinary names, definitely they would be more careless when they’re ordered to do bigger things like setting guilty-personalities-only into flames.  Before Duterte rose to power, to say that illegal drugs here in the city and province are rampant is an understatement.  Considering that yesterday we were all hesitant to report them knowing a police officer in charge might also be a drug element.

What’s ironic there is those who are supposed to be in the forefront of the list remain unnamed.  But those who for a long time now have since deceased are killed anew they being re-shamed.  Aside from personnel with impeccable intelligence, I suppose what the government truly lacks are those who really know basic math.  If my memory serves right, tax law says the burden of proof lies on a filthy rich brat to explain why he got those assets to escape jail’s wrath.

Jail ‘em first, Mr. Executioner.  And maybe they could explain later.  USA did it when they came up with the Al Capone Solution during the 1920’s.  We are America’s copycat, let’s do it, we have in President Duterte our own Elliot Ness. 

I could understand him, in view of his love of country and of his ardent desire to get rid of illegal drugs, he’s doing everything even if he’s scorned, even if he has to resort to short-cuts just to assure they fall and would no more return. 

Just like our God, because of His great love for us that we’d never resort to sacrificial offering anymore to please Him, He too made a short-cut by having His Only Son do it at once and for all:  And all He needs is our faith in return.

(“…Without faith, it is impossible to please Him…” [Hebrew 11:6])
