We have to admit that we lied at some point in our life.
Lies are like a universal law. If you see an adult human being, there is
a small chance that he has never lied before. If our lie is ever
discovered, we either admit to our fault, or we cover it up with another
lie. In this situation, the most idiotic action to undertake is to deny
that a lie has been made while your lie is revealed directly in front of your
face, therefore making you look like an idiot. That is why I gave myself
a slap directly on my forehead when this action is committed by not only a
lawyer, but also a politician and SITTING vice president of a country.
Meet Vice President Jejomar Binay, the Kokey that no one
likes. He has been on every Philippine news media for his alleged corruption
involving a building, a school, and a monument of the national hero. That
sentence would have been a perfect pitch for a Philippine version of “The Wolf
of Wall Street”, but that would be ridiculous. Who would ever go balls
deep with an African-American alien which speech impediment?
Binay recently made an attack on Senator Grace Poe after she
announced her presidential candidacy. Rappler even revealed a blatant lie
he committed when he made that statement. He said:
"Ayaw ko na hong makisawsaw diyan (Poe's qualifications) and, unang-una, mahal ko pa rin ho si FPJ." (I don't want to meddle with that issue, and first, I still love FPJ.)”
This was his answer to the question regarding Poe’s qualifications
as presidential candidate when her citizenship is in question. You may
think that that is a very specific description on the nature of the attack that
he supposedly will never do, but that is the SAME attack that he did on Poe
just days ago. He promised us, and he never even fulfilled it.
Unfortunately, that is just the tip of the iceberg. As I
mentioned, his attack is on Poe’s citizenship, which even until now is still in
question for unknown reasons. If Poe’s citizenship is ever invalid, she
cannot run for president. If you must know, Poe received a US citizenship
to study abroad, however she renounced it when she ran for a public
office. This is where the argument starts.
Binay’s argument is that the US Oath of Allegience has lines
stated below:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;…”
Poe said those lines, and therefore invoked her natural-born citizenship.
Here’s the problem: NO ONE EVEN DOES THAT!
No one, not even the US government, is forcing you to renounce
your allegiance. A user who goes by the name “El_Che” even elaborated
that our law states that getting a dual citizenship does not remove your
citizenship to this country. The US government has no power in changing
the laws of other nation, so our law still stands. “Newcitizen.us”, a
website for naturalized and native-born American citizens, also explained that
there were NO US Supreme Court rulings or even a passage in the constitution
where renouncement of native citizenship is requirement for naturalization. So
when Poe got her US citizenship, she was still a natural-born Filipino citizen,
which is part of his second argument.
Binay’s second argument is that she renounced her US citizenship
in less than the years required to be a presidential candidate. Like I
said, she was still a natural-born Filipino citizen when she got her US
citizenship. That means she has more than the required years to be a
presidential candidate. You are a lawyer, yet you are being schooled in
the topic of citizenship by a third year college student. Oh, how the
mighty have fallen.
Look, Binay. I don’t know if you are just removing another
obstacle for your goal of Philippine domination. If you are going to, at
least be smart when you are doing it. You don’t answer invitations, you
sued your enemies for damages in libel without even proving that there ever was
a libel, and you try to attack the daughter of the person you look up to.
I am really excited for your announcement for presidency, because it will fuel
my political satire lust. Please, Binay. Do not stop contradicting
yourself and defending it with more contradictions.
