The Black and White Movement invites you to be part of this campaign to elect into Congress men and women of moral courage who will exact accountability from the GMA regime for the unabated corruption and extrajudicial killings.

We have selected 100 congressional districts where we will actively campaign for those in the white list and campaign against those in the black list. Let your vote make a difference. Join us in the black list/white list campaign.

 
 

PERC – the HK-based risk consultancy firm, recently announced the results of its survey: the Philippines is now the “MOST CORRUPT” country in Asia.

It’s easy to see why. You have a president who protects a close family friend and perverts the law to suppress any investigation of a widely publicized fertilizer scam involving billions of pesos. You have an ombudsman, with close ties to the First Gentleman, who publicly vows there are no sacred cows in the fight against corruption, and yet exonerates all Comelec officials involved in what the Supreme Court has already declared an anomalous purchase of vote-counting equipment. It’s like having a crime without criminals. The PERC report sums it well: “There is no sincere effort to curb corruption.” It’s all lip service.

The Philippines is now the second most dangerous place for journalists, next only to Iraq. Philip Alston, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, concluded in his report that the military was responsible for many of the hundreds of unsolved killings. The Melo commission was more specific. They found Gen. Jovito Palparan, aptly nicknamed “the butcher”, liable for these killings. This is the same man that the president heaped praises on during her state of the nation address last year.

The president, of course, vowed to deal with it. But a few weeks after the Alston report came out, she commended the army contingent deployed in vote-rich urban poor areas for “a job well done.” In the first place, the army had no business being there. We’re not under martial law. Or are we?

The killings continue. There is really no sincere effort to stop it. It’s all lip service.

Corruption and the extrajudicial kilings will worsen, unless we do something about it.

You can help stop corruption and the killings by campaigning and voting into Congress 100 men and women of moral courage who can exact accountability from the GMA regime through congressional investiga-tions and by initiating the only constitutionally prescribed process of determining culpable violation of the constitution by the president – impeachment.

Let your vote make a difference this coming May. Use it to stop corruption and the killings.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for some good men to do nothing."

- Edmund Burke

MYTHS and OUTRIGHT LIES
About the May Elections

1. Why don’t you just let GMA finish her term
    until 2010 instead of disrupting it with another
    impeachment complaint?

2. Impeachment will scare investors away, and
    will negate the economic gains.

3. Do you really want to bring back Erap to
    replace GMA?

4. If you succeed in impeaching GMA, who will
    replace her? Would you rather have Noli as
    president?

5. Opposition are obstructionists. They have no
    real agenda except to remove GMA.
