Honorable Rolando “Rolly” Borrinaga, a professor from the University of the Philippines in Tacloban city, described the present regime in the Biliran province as “corrupt and hypocrite”
In fact, Mr. Borrinaga’s description would be false if the ultimate objective of the Espina clan would be to bring Biliran Island to build a happy future on the ruins of their dark past from the hands of womanizer, sugarol, kawatan, stupid oligarch and political malnourish. But as the worst unfolds, ordinary Biliranon are confused as to what is the real objective of the Espina clan’s processing. Is it reprisal, or is it to stop similar corrupt regimes from coming to power in Biliran Province?
The opposition accused Espina of twisting the election results in Naval, like as what the Malacanang controversies during the last presidential election.
Since the rise of the Espina regime in the Biliran province, many of the “trapos” and corrupt politician were melting down while some emerge and join with the present generation of new crooked Naval politician and their modern “modus operandi.”
Espina a former Marcos cronies who was reported using EPZA as their milking cow whilst friend of some notorious corrupt politician in Manila gain political support from the Arroyo regime.
An email message from a reliable source in Cavite questions the motive behind the Espina’s political interest in the Biliran Island. However, Espina reject all the accusation as political ploy to destroy his long planned help the Biliran poor.
Now the Bando Espina dominate the political scene in Biliran according to some articles, aside from the political influence of the Espina’s today, nothing else can challenge them.
Today Biliran Province was economically strong as what the Espina supporter implied and 90% of Biliranon especially in Naval had owned various kinds of guns with no license. Many of the unsolved crimes in Naval neither Biliran was due to guns related cases.
Moreover as reported, Naval Biliran is an exit door from the Manila criminals who were hiding in different place of the island, and it was reported that a convicted criminal who was one of the Espina’s bodyguards hold-up a tourist.
The Espina’s bodyguard who was accused of robbing was released due to insufficient evidence filed against them. Hearsay report says; that the dropping of case is due to some political maneuver to shut-up the victim and the suspect release is ploy of political personalities behind them.
Moreover, it seems that the new Espina leadership doesn’t want to try the bodyguard for crimes that he committed. Does this mean that the Bando Espina regime did not ask the bodyguard to commit crimes before Jerry took office? Can justice take its course in such a discriminatory environment?
But many of the coward’s opposition doesn’t want to confront the regime in regards to that case publicly to avoid legal responsibility and might the suspect would turn into them, but they’re murmuring secretly, like me you see…hehehehe

I judge the above article as a product of irresponsible writer. In the first place he reported things that he got primarily from rumors. To add the nasty words he used in the article contain grammatical errors that make it shabby.
Yes the opposition acused the Espina’s of election results manipulation but it does not necessarily mean that the accusations were true. For example, the greatest acusation of election fraud was against Gerardo Espina, Sr. in the municipality of Naval. And the accuser was no less than an able, practicing lawyer Atty. Danilo Parilla or at least his supporters. Now, if the accusations were true, why did this very able lawyer not file a single case in court or the COMELEC if truly he got the evidences as it were used as propaganda to agitate his supporters who marched in front of the municipal hall of Naval to rally protest against the winning Gerardo Espina, Sr.?
The writer used derogatory and even libelous words against the Espinas. I suspect he did not read Jesus words in the Holy Scriptures saying “Judge not that you may not be judged”. He mentioned “kawatan”. May I ask him, when did he saw Mayor or Governor Espina take something not their own and claim they own it? Why was the writer so sure about this? Was he there when the crime was committed? Did he saw it with his own eye? Why did he not report it to the police for immediate action?
He again, witness to the supposed fact that 90% of Biliranons own a gun. Let me take this as a sample. In my immediate neighborhod, I have at least 8 households as neighboors. My household alone total to 5 persons. And I have no gun at home. (No, I have an air gun but I think he is referring to a deadly weapon more powerful than an air gun). We are 5 in the house. Let us say that all my neighbors have 4 household members each. The total would be 39. To make up the 90% gun holders, 35 persons among us including children must have owned a gun – a pistol, a revolver, or an armalite. Rediculous, I suspect that even an NPA camp would not make this up.
Ah, I remember, I have plenty of guns at home – those broken toys of my three male children.

…It is just the beam in one own eye that enable us to detect the mote in one of our brother eye. The beam is one’s own eye does not prove that one’s our brother eye has no mote in his. But the impairment of one’s own vision might easily give rise to a general theory that all motes are beams.
The recognition and taking to hearth of the subjective determination of knowledge in general and of psychological knowledge in particular are basic condition for scientific and impartial evaluation of psyche different from that of the observing subject.
These conditions are fulfilled only when the observer is sufficiently informed about the nature and scope of his own personality. He can however, be sufficiently informed only when he has a large measure freed himself from the labeling influence of collective opinions and thereby arrived at a clear conception of his own individuality.
In the “Blunder Book,” Mr. Lloyd Pereira tells of a new clerk in Covert Operation Representative who sent out a memo to his collogues. In it, he appealed for accuracy in their written communications. But when the memo was distributed, it had more or less nine errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
When the memo fell into the hands of small time press, the embarrassed clerk said, He couldn’t have made a worse blunder if he had tried.
Similar embarrassment is bound to occur whenever “rgjam” expect other to measure up to the high standard of reporting or writing without first examining himself.
If our attitude is mixed with pride/proud and self-righteousness, our words will come back to hunt us. What he says maybe correct, but the way he says it must always be with humility and sense of our own shortcoming.
We should encourage other to do right and not using the name of God but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. Navalean should stir-up one another to fight a rotten government and action not hypocrisy. We are all Navalean, so we must be neither judgmental nor patronizing. Instead, we should respect one another because were still rotten minded inhabitants of Naval Biliran.
Ironically, the essential thing is that we should be able to stand-up to our judgments of ourselves. From outside this attitude look like self-righteousness, but it is so only if we are incapable of criticizing ourselves.
If we can exercise self-criticism, criticism from outside will affect us only on the outside and not pierce to the hearth, for we feel that we have a sterner critic within us than any who could judge us from without. And anyway, there are as many opinions as there are heads to think them. Okay?
So we come to realize that our own judgment has so much value as the judgment of others. One cannot please everybody, therefore it is better to be at peace with oneself and mind your own monkey business.
ayusss sapatosss!!
