Most

Daily
Tribune’s Editorial last July 4, 2021 has presented so eloquently what the
Liberal Party brings for the country at this time and for the upcoming
election.
For
the purpose of clarity, understanding and public knowledge we are quoting in
full the said published editorial below.
The Liberal
Party’s necropolitics
Expect
the morally-bankrupt Liberal Party (LP) of Senators Franklin Drilon and Francis
Pangilinan to exploit anything just for their political party’s survival in the
2022 elections.
Days
after ex-President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III died last 24 June, the LP was
already visibly politicizing Aquino’s unexpected passing.
One
LP bigwig said Aquino’s demise will change the political landscape, as it will
galvanize anti-administration groups into action. Big words indeed, but they
lack substance.
An
LP boss insinuated that Aquino’s death will give the political opposition an
issue to use against administration candidates in next year’s polls. How that
is so, was not explained.
At
a time when even staunch critics of Aquino either refrained from finding fault
in him or managed to say some kind, appreciative words about him, the LP was
more concerned about politics.
Sure,
the LP talking heads praised Aquino, but they did so while politicizing
Aquino’s passing.
The
lines peddled by the LP top brass have a common denominator. They all equate
Noynoy’s passing to the assassination of his father, ex-Senator Benigno “Ninoy”
Aquino Jr. in 1983, and the demise of his mother, ex-President Corazon “Cory”
Cojuangco Aquino in 2009.
Their
statements point out that Ninoy’s death in 1983 led to Cory’s taking power in
1986; and that Cory’s demise in 2009 saddened the voters enough to install
Noynoy in Malacañang in 2010.
In
other words, the LP tacitly wants an Aquino relative to lead the party in next
year’s elections as its presidential candidate. That is, of course, on the LP’s
sweeping assumption that the death of Noynoy will translate to sympathy votes
for the Aquino candidate and his or her party mates.
The
LP does not care if its presidential bet has no political experience or is
unfit for public office. For the LP, it is enough that the party’s candidate
lost a popular relative and, because of that bereavement, can attract enough
sympathy votes badly needed by the party.
That
strategy is called necropolitics.
Like
political dynasties, necropolitics makes competence, experience and integrity
in public office unimportant. Only deaths in the family count in necropolitics.
The
LP’s shameless resort to necropolitics has the badge of political opportunism.
It also confirms that with the 2022 national election just 10 months away, the
LP still has no significant issues to raise against the administration of
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
Let
the facts about the LP speak for themselves.
Other
than duplicating the functions of the Secretary of Social Welfare and
Development in terms of distributing relief goods during calamities, Vice
President Leni Robredo of the LP has done absolutely nothing of substance or
significance to make her a strong contender for the presidency in 2022. Her callous
decision to live in a plush mansion in New Manila, Quezon City at taxpayers’
expense is something she should be ashamed of.
The
four incumbent LP senators are just as lackluster like Robredo. Three of them
are eligible for reelection next year and will face a steep, uphill battle if
they run.
Moreover,
the public still wants to know if one of the four, namely, Senator Leila de
Lima, is still fit for public office, considering what the media have revealed
about her alleged love life.
That
is why the LP badly needs to resort to necropolitics.
Fortunately,
necropolitics does not always succeed in fooling all of the voters all of the
time.
Take the case of Senator Grace Poe.
Her
father, Philippine box office king Fernando Poe Jr. lost in the 2004
presidential election, but many voters sincerely believed that he was cheated.
Soon after FPJ died later that year, Grace Poe found herself in the political
limelight. After a brief, uneventful stint as chief cinema censor, she ran and
won as senator in 2013. Her being the late FPJ’s adopted daughter was enough to
get her the sympathy votes she need to land in first place.
Grace
Poe believed that her ties to her late father will win her the presidency in
2016. Run for president she did, but she lost to President Duterte.
It
seems that from the way LP leaders have been talking lately, they are saying
the Aquinos sure know when to die.
