LAZIR'S RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM SIR MANNY BADE

Sir Manny,

Lazir can only agree with you on the nobility of your project goals to help our brethren in New Iloilo, Bukidnon! Go for it, kind Sir!

Alcoba and Ms Darryl Bautista have used "dirty" words, even hitting others below the belt!

Lazir's arguments may be forceful, as he calls a spade a spade. But he doesn't resort to unTRUTHs!

SOUTH AFRICA experienced the horrors of Apartheid, where humans turned to "wild animals", abusing/maltreating their kindred, for no other reason than just the difference in their skin color! Nelson Mandela, considered one of the GREATEST STATESMEN of recent past, suffered UNTOLD humiliation, jailtime, torture, abuse, in the hands of his white countrymen! Once freed, Mandela helped transform South Africa from dictatorship to democracy! Revered as he is worldwide, he never STOPped the formation of the TRUTH COMMISSION, partly supported/headed by Nobel Laureate Bishop Desmond Tutu, formed to investigate and bring to light the APARTHEID horrors, with the goal to make this NEVER HAPPEN again!

Rightfully done!

The PHILIPPINES apparently progressed backwards under the conjugal Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos' 20-yr dictatorial rule! The dead Marcos alone currently uses up more electricity and emits more CO2 into the atmosphere dead than alive! ...still stays above ground in near-freezing temperatures in temperate Northern Philippines!

Erap, who allegedly made money from Jueteng and shady stock trading using GSIS/SSS funds, was thrown out of Malacanang too, got jailtime, was investigated, tried, convicted, then was (unjustly!) pardoned by the current administration! Expecting something in return perhaps, like reigning-in large crowds of D & E class Metro Manila residents?

The country tried to rebuild, but those who obviously benefitted more were the same abusive groups close to Marcos, Ramos, Erap and GMA! Not one said "SORRY". Only big fish caught/jailed was Erap, but he never said "SORRY" too and he's out of jail again!

How can the nation rebuild or heal, when today's generation don't even know what Marcos and Imelda did?

Compare our country N-O-W to JAPAN after 1946; to SOUTH KOREA after 1953; to VIETNAM after 1975!

SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG in the Philippines today! There's MORAL DECAY that many of us, Knights included, choose to overlook!

Quiambao confers KGOR to Paras April 2001 and who approved of it? Esguerra personally exalted undeserving Alcoba, Guansing, Nollas to KGOR, Paris 2007 and it is alright per Supreme Council? Palomar got KGOR in Prague, Sep 2009 for having "founded" the KOR Hamburg Chapter? What does that bring to country and to the KOR as required by the Manual? Was Sir Reghis Romero and the KOR Supreme Council hoodwinked with falsified reports or petitions SIGNED by Belgian-Filipino KGORs?

Let's not forget Paras' introduction of the TWISTED "Filipino Muna" policy (put Filipinos as HIGH KOR officials FIRST, qualified or not) that expectedly propelled the KOR Europe Region BACKWARDs! Quiambao reportedly pushed for Paras' appointment, and Esguerra confirmed this, as if Esguerra was right! If given a second chance, would Esguerra do exactly the same shameful thing, by the good graces of his family?

And the KOR, headed by KGCR Virgilio Esguerra and KGCR Rogelio Quiambao that banners Dr Jose Rizal's name and photo is right(?), per lawyer & KGOR Samuel Samuela in persecuting Sir Jun Zerrudo and Lazir for their writings/reports/valid questions as well as for their use of the name IFKoR, the Rizalian emblem/symbols?

And Esguerra, lawyers Quiambao and Samuela, instead of being PART OF THE SOLUTION, chose to CAUSE Philippine society more problems through their wasteful, wrongful edicts, memoranda; their causing the distribution of undeserved medals, ranks, sashes, promotions, foremost of these the undeserved KGOR for denouncer Peter Plueckebaum last February 2009?

Again, to quote incompetent Virgilio Esguerra's famous adjective: 'NAKAKAHIYA!"

No, Sir Manny, we simply cannot absolve evildoers who deny wrongdoing and refuse to even say "SORRY"! Esguerra, Quiambao, Samuela, et al have no right to so DEBASE the good name and legacy of Dr Jose Rizal!


For country and people!

===========================

Hi Knights and Friends of Rizal,

I am the Manny Bade referred to in some of the emails.

I used to get involved in these fights. I go by the nom de guerre of "The Black Knight". And I used to get real dirty too.

But I realized that there is a time to fight, a time to raze and a time to rebuild.

So now I decided to forget about personalities in the Order, I just want to build projects that will benefit our poor kababayans in the Philippines. I believe my energy is better spent in organizing projects than in destroying others.

There is a barangay in Mindanao known as New Ilo-ilo, Pangantukan, Kidapukan, Bukidnon, whose inhabitants literally live in darkness. They don't have electricity because they are so far away from the grid that NAPOCOR refused to spend 20 million pesos to build a transmission line to benefit just 200 families. So, my friend Ramon Naguita who witnessed the Barangay's plight personally when he went there on a medical mission asked me to find ways and means to help these God forsaken people.

I am a solar energy consultant and I requested my European supplier to help us in this quest and gladly, the supplier immediately discounted the cost by 60%, so instead of US$25,000 for the solar generator unit he now drops it down to just US$10,000.

The Scarborough Chapter of the Knights of Rizal under Sir Noel Lalicon, KCR has pledged in principle to raise the necessary funds through their fundraising. Ramon and I had approached politicians and bureaucrats in the Philippines, and we are making headway. Aside from the US$10,000, there is the additional cost of the LED lights, the wires to connect the houses, the transportation from Europe to the Philippines and to the hinterlands of Mindanao. And of course the labour but we will have to ask the recipients to supply the necessary sweat capital for the project.

As I said, I'm tired of fighting. It is more satisfying to work to build instead of to destroy.

I'm inviting other knights and interested people to join our informal group known as "Friends
of New Ilo-ilo". Together we can make a difference in the lives of these people, particularly the children who toil under the kerosene lamp straining their eyes to read their books in the darkness of the night. It is particularly for them that I dedicate my efforts.

I hope you can join us.

Non omnis moriar,

Sir Manny Bade
