I've read Mr. David D'Angelo's blog about the COMELEC's slow action on Mr. Nicanor Perlas' appeal for his reinstatment as a presidential candidate.
On his blog. he wrote,
"Di naman nasusunod yung 5 days. Ang dami namin ginagawa dito!" Iyan ang sagot ng isang clerk of court sa COMELEC nang tanungin ng Secretariat ng Partido ng Marangal na Samabayan (PANGMASA) ang tungkol sa resulta ng apila para kay Nicanor Perlas.
("The 5-day rule is sometimes not observed. We are busy doing things right now!" This is the answer of a COMELEC clerk of court when asked by the Partido ng Marangal na Sambayanan(PANGMASA) secretariat regarding the result of Nicanor Perlas' appeal.)
He also ranted about the 10-day deadline COMELEC has set to issue its decisions on appeal of Mr. Perlas et. al. The decision was set to be announced last Thursday or Friday, but up to now, no decision was announced.
You can read the whole post here.
The statement above uttered by this unknown COMELEC official send a chilling effect to new politics. This questions the ability of the election commission to follow the law. Just because COMELEC is going double time to keep up with it's electoral calendar is only a mere excuse. If they only do the right thing and follow deadlines, they shouldn't be at this state. It's the COMELEC that creates their own problems. First, by kicking out a "Green" presidentiable with a good track record and a complex and substantive platform. Now, they are delaying the issuance of the resolution regarding Mr. Perlas' reinstatement which is tantamount to disobeying law.
The supporters of the real new politics are on guard with this situation. We will never put our white flags up and falter our support to Mr. Perlas and his vision of a new politics and new Philippines. Recently,Japanese-Canadian environmental activist David Suzuki and Australian Senator Bob Brown of the Green Party, voiced their support for Mr. Perlas' presidential bid. Not to mention thousands of foreigners who signed the petition here. This shows that this issue echoes not only here but around the world.
IF THIS IS SO, THEN WHY IS THE COMELEC SO SLOW IN ISSUING A RESOLUTION !!!
NEW POLITICS CAN WAIT NO MORE !!!
AND REMEMBER THESE WORDS THAT CONSTITUTE REAL JUSTICE: JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED !!!

I appeal to the supporters of real politics to write to the COMELEC starting now until Monday, January 11, when the COMELEC will issue its resolution. Tell them and pressure them that new politics can't wait to be born and the fate of it is in their hands. The email addresses of the COMELEC chairman and its commissioners are found here.
Thank you very much for your time.
