Joey Lina: Tanggalin lahat ng opisyales sa pamahalaan

PINAG-REACT ng press ang hosts ng “Magpayo Nga Kayo” na sina May Valle-Ceniza at Atty. Joey Lina sa controversial statement ni Jimmy Bondoc.

Sinabi ni Jimmy in a recent aria na magiging happy siya kung magsasara ang biggest network. Most took it to mean na ABS-CBN ang pinasasaringan niya.

“Ikaw naman parang hindi ka naging Kapamilya. Bakit mo naman kailangang sabihin ‘yan dahil tulad ng sinabi A-ngel Locsin, bakit mo ikakasaya ang mawalan ng trabaho ang apat na libong empleyado ng isang network,” say ni May.

“Cool lang,” was Atty. Lina’s reply.

We asked the two hosts kung ano ang pinaka-absurd comment ng taumbayan sa mga issues na tinalakay nila sa show, ito ang sagot ni Atty. Lina: “Tanggalin lahat ang mga opisyales sa pamahalaan. That’s really absurd. Lahat ay corrupt. A sweeping generalization but the conclusion is to remove all of them.”

When asked about the recent mid-term elections, Atty. Lina arti-culated his thoughts in a very practical manner.

“The decision of the people must be respected. And I am not in a position to judge whether their decision is wrong or not. We are in a democracy and it’s the majority decision that prevails. Having said that, lessons to be learned are the following.

“For those who want to aspire for an elected position, they have to do their homework way in advance. One cannot be elected unless the candidate is known. That’s very simple. One cannot be elected if the people do not know this particular candidate.

“Number two, you really need advertising a lot whether local or national.

“Number three, you must have machinery so that you people have people underground to vouch for you and campaign for you.

“Number four which is very sad, you have to have lots of money because sa national, ang mahal ng ads.”

Mapapanood sina May at Atty. Lina sa “Magpayo Nga Kayo” tuwing Sabado 9:30 a.m. sa DZMM TeleRadyo at mapapa-kinggan sa DZMM Radyo Patrol 630.
