THE OVERKILL SYNDROME ronaldo8roy@yahoo Noynoy Aquino was correct when he intoned in his inaugural speech Kayo ang boss ko but, being a public servant, has he ever looked up to the sovereign people as his public masters? The PDAF/DAP episodes exposed his unscrupulous handling of public funds, and he hopes to banish these scandals from his masters memory with a series of spectacular demolition jobs against the political opposition. Those who cheer him for this brilliant move only perpetuate the long held belief that our democracy is a government of the masters, for the masters and by the masters, the people being reduced to obsequious servility through electoral machinations and other flimflams. The ongoing demolition of VP Jojo Binay is the centerpiece of Noynoys second term plan, notwithstanding his recent announcement of a loss of interest in prolonging his occupancy in the Palace. Methinks this sudden show of disinterest is a ruse to make Mar Roxas believe he is the anointed. This way, Noynoy can demonstrate his gratitude to Mar Roxas who had endorsed him after withdrawing his candidacy for president in the 2010 elections. However, Noynoy wanted to go for a second term after giving the excuse that Mar Roxas has not improved his popularity ratings. Nobody can underestimate Noynoys capacity to ruin careers, notably those of high-ranking officials. One remembers his awesome mobilization of legislative and media forces, not to mention largess, in the impeachment removal of Chief Justice Renato Corona. Already, he has sent three senators to jail, and he wont stop until his attack dogs in the sub-committee of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committe (SBRC) have completely maimed Binay. The latest surveys however say Binay still leads comfortably among contenders.
