Pamalakaya wants heads of Puno, Romulo and Gonzalez

 over Smith release

 

The activist fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) on Sunday asked Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno, foreign affairs secretary Alberto Romulo and Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales to resign following the release of convicted rapist US Marine Lance Corporal Daniel Smith Friday last week.

 

“The three Arroyo stooges- Puno, Romulo and Gonzales should better run a syndicate rather than work in public office as secretary of interior and local government. What they did last Friday was a wholesale murder of national sovereignty and justice on a ruling political mafia is capable of doing,” charged Pamalakaya information officer Gerry Albert Corpuz said in a press statement.

 

Corpuz said the three secretaries and President Arroyo violated a number of things that include gross violation of the 1987 Constitution, the country’s criminal laws and the Revised Penal Code provisions pertaining to rape cases and convicted rapists and criminals across the country.

 

“What if one day, their daughters or their grand daughters were raped by visiting US soldiers? What they would do? Free the sexual rapists for the sake of unjust and one-sided diplomatic relations with imperial America? Just like Gloria, the three officials are absolute US puppets to the highest level,” Corpuz said.

 

Accounts that led to the transfer of Smith to US Embassy in Manila revealed that on December 29, at around 11 pm, four US officials, accompanied by two officers from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) came to Makati City Jail to pick up Smith, according to Supt. Belvic Oreiro.

 

Officials of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) told reporters, they had no idea Smith would be leaving until the US officials and officers of the DILG came and fetch the US marine convicted of rape on the basis of an agreement signed by Philippine and US officials transferring Smith to the American embassy in Roxas Boulevard.

 

Corpuz assailed the “the walk-in-the park escape” which he said was engineered by Malacañang, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Justice in connivance with the US Embassy in Manila and the Interior and Local Government.  

 

“The next move of the United States government is transfer Smith to its military base in Okinawa, Japan. That is the logical conclusion of this sexual terrorism drama jointly agreed by the imperialist master and its willing slave in the person of President Arroyo,” the militant leader added.

 

“President Arroyo, in the name of first rate puppetry to US will move heaven and earth to please the US master at the expense of every Filipino’s national sovereignty and dignity. She is the no.1 conspirator in the rape of Nicole and the entire Filipino people,” the leftist leader added.

 

Yesterday, the militant women’s group Gabriela, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan), Anakbayan, Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) and Pamalakaya led some 50 activists in a protest rally at Plaza Ferguson in Manila. But the protesters were dispersed by 30 cops assigned by the Manila Police District (MPD) to guard the US Embassy in Manila. #
