My Election Playlist:  Now  playing: The Script, on “The Man Who Can’t be Moved”

“Policeman says, “Son, you can’t stay here.”
I said, “There’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.”” xxx

” People talk about the guy that’s waiting on a girl, oh ohh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm 

“And maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved
Maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news
And you’ll come running to the corner
‘Cause you’ll know it’s just for you
I’m the man who can’t be moved
I’m the man who can’t be moved ….”

Pres.-elect Duterte “corrects” false start of spox (curfew, liquor ban): Unveils Peace Plan, Release of Pol Prisoners, an FOI EO, Transpo Infra, crime-bust

President-elect Duterte “corrects” false start of spokesperson (who announced curfew and a  liquor ban):   Unveils Peace Plan, Release of Pol Prisoners, an FOI EO, Transpo Infra, Crime-bust
       

         To be fair, nothing was ever heard of again about that curfew and permanent liquor ban from the team of presumptive President-elect Duterte after that morning false start when his official spokesperson said that a 10pm curfew would be implemented nationwide for 17-year-olds, and a 1am permanent liquor ban in public places for everyone (see May 10 post  ).                          

            In less than 24 hours, presumptive President-elect Duterte convened his “Transition Committee” and unveiled the following:

        The new administration will:

     1.release all political prisoners;

     2.will hold unconditional peace talks with local armed liberation movements;            

        3.will enact a Freedom of Information executive order;

     4.will fastrack transportation infrastructure to immediately address urban congestion and the transportation problem, and

     5.of course, will professionalize crime-busting. (see last night’s news reports on the announcements of the Transition Committee).

           They didn’t say anything about a curfew or criminalizing the drinking of liquour. Nada. They self-corrected.

      (just to let you know, there are enough provisions in the Revised Penal Code that punish 1.charivari; 2.”disturbing public tranquility”; 3.”wandering at night disturbing the public peace”‘; 4.disturbance in public places — be creative, get good lawyers and good legal advisers and you’ll find out you can twirl, este, er, use the Rules of Court in your favor — and enforce the laws based on overt acts and probable cause; instead of leaving it to a band of burly policemen to hold up, este, er, to hold and detain innocent 17-year-olds and innocently nocturnal beer-drinkers.)

        Be a smart “Enforcer” rather than a burly “Punisher”.
      Ok, that’s more like it.
      Let’s start again.
       Hello to new beginnings, Mr. President-elect.
