isang araw sa dakak
isang araw, isang gabi
sa isla sa dakak
resort ng mayaman
paraiso ng iilan
may kaututang dila
nagbulong na kusa
isang simpleng mansion
itinirik ng mga kampon
para daw kay ma'am
at para din daw kay sir
upang lumaya ang hari
ang amo ng islang ginto
may maliit na jacusi
isang kuwarto at red carpet
air condition na maliit
para ulo ng mga boss di mag-init
matapos ang pugad
sa loob ng dakak
eto na ang order
he he he o heck,
oh well, what the hell...
No politics in Jalosjos release -- Remonde
Malacanang said today that politics had nothing to do with the release of
convicted rapist and former Zamboanga del Norte Rep. Romeo Jalosjos from
prison, saying all legal processes were followed in Jalosjos’ release.
Press Secretary Cerge Remonde stressed that President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo’s role in the release of Jalosjos was purely ministerial.
“Dumaan sa tamang proseso. Again, may batas na kung ang isang convicted
(person) ay nakapag-serve ng sentence up to a certain time at may good
behavior, eligible na (siya) for pardon," Remonde said in a radio interview.
He pointed out that as explained by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, the
move to commute Jalosjos' jail term did not originate in Malacanang.
Remonde said the initial recommendation for a prisoner’s release comes from
the Bureau of Pardons and Parole as approved by the Secretary of Justice.
“Then the process is submitted to the Department of Justice which has the
ministerial job of transmitting it to the Office of the President, all in
accordance with the law," he said.
Jalosjos was released from the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City this
morning after 13 years in jail.
He was sentenced to two life terms for raping an 11-year old girl in 1996.
This was later commuted to 16 years, three months and three days.
This was further reduced to 13 years, five months and 15 days because of
Jalosjos' good conduct time allowance.
