No wonder he's head over heels praising a bandit

This retired foolitiko whose name had been dragged in the porkbarrel imbroglio in the time of Noynoy Anoki just made a wave today in Yrong-Yrong rallying support for SM Prime Holdings and the dynasty of Datu Saripada Agwak and his protegee-successor Rise-Rise who will be remembered and condemned from generation to generation for handing it on a silver platter the Central and Terminal Markets, two premier real estates of the people of Yrong-Yrong spanning nearly 4 hectares.

Displaced transient vendors or bolanteros have been up in arms after a series of nightly raids, timed when they are about to display their goods (fresh fruits, vegetables and fish) for sale. The raids were pulled off by bandits disquised as operatives of the Local Economic Enterprise Office (LEEO) backed up by battle-ready PNP regulars and SWATs.

The bandits stole their wares (including a slingbag containing driver's license, other IDs and cash from a bolantero. According to the marauders, the vendors committed a crime for vending at the perimeters of the two public markets, a sudden reversal of decades of tradition when they were allowed to ply their trade particularly during the times when the two markets were closed for the night.

Drilon was euphoric seeing how clean and orderly the two public markets that SM Prime Holdings privatized for a song. "Obey the law," he advised restive bolanteros.

Rise-Rise was behind him grinning from ear to ear.

Rumblings can still be heard from the corner of bolanteros though which might eventually explode yet to another uproar.

Datu Sarip Agwak handed it for a song to SM in the name of the bogus "modernization" which actually regressed the economy by displacing hundreds of bolanteros, rendering them jobless and robbed consumers as well because it shrunk trade and jacked up prices of goods sold at the two markets and peripheral areas.

Yrong-Yrong gets nothing for the lop-sided two pieces of lease contracts that give away Central and Terminal Markets for a song. Yes, for a song.

SM Prime Holdings is not paying the sovereign people of Yrong-Yrong any tax; Ilonggos will not be getting their shares from the fees extracted by the conglomerate from kiosk holders inside, and from delivery vans delivering merchandizes.

Ilonggos will not be getting paid for any real property tax levied against the two public markets. After all, ownership thereof still remains with Yrong-Yrong. After all, an LGU taxing itself will only wasting time, right?

When will the people of Yrong-Yrong get paid by SM?

They will only get SM's lease payments on the 50th year from today, not in cash but in kind, when it hands the Central and Terminal Markets back to Yrong-Yrong. By then, the two half-century old edifices shall have become maintenance naightmares. And SM still walks away clapping its hands in glee.

By then, the sovereign people of Yrong-Yrong have no necks to grab and strangle for these perfidious "lease contracts." The accountable people who are the culprits like Datu Saripada Agwak and Rise-Rise are more likely immigrants by then to the Great Beyond, either at the Eternal Bliss in Heaven or the Eternal Demnation in Hell.

Prefarrably, the latter. Along with the likes of Drilon...Hallellujah! The Lord is risen! Bwiseeeeet!
