Repost: Mayor Herbert Bautista Responds to VACC Complaint

A day after he and his brother were sued by an anticrime group for allegedly being soft on the drug menace, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista stressed that he has been an antidrug advocate since his years in show business and that he had no hand in the selection of two city police chiefs earlier linked by President Duterte to the narcotics trade.
Writing from Oslo, Norway, where he currently serves as adviser to the government panel in the revived peace talks with communist rebels, Bautista assailed the “controversial” statements made against him by Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) chair Dante Jimenez.
“I am not and will never involve myself in the illegal drug trade. Antidrug is my advocacy since I was 17 years old,” Bautista, who entered politics in 1986, said in a statement sent to reporters on Saturday.
The VACC on Friday filed a complaint in the Office of the Ombudsman accusing Bautista of “dereliction of duty” and failing to control the city’s drug problem, as well as his brother, 4th District Councilor Hero Bautista, for admitting that he used illegal drugs
No say in QCPD selection
“(Jimenez) is concluding that because the two generals linked in the illegal drug trade were former Quezon City Police District chiefs, ergo the mayor is (involved), too,” Bautista said. He was referring to former QCPD directors Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio and Chief Supt. Joel Pagdilao.
“Just for the record, I am not involved in choosing the district director of QCPD. Even if the law provides that local chief executives will have to choose from among three to five names from the list given by the (Philippine National Police), not a single list reached me,” the mayor said.
Even before he became mayor in 2010, it was already a practice to appoint the district director “without any consultation or ‘courtesy’ (to the mayor),” he said.
He recalled that since the term of then Mayor Adelina Rodriguez in 1976, it has been the vice mayor who is tasked to oversee local antidrug programs and projects.
Bautista also defended himself against criticism that he has been soft on his own brother Hero, who is now undergoing a six-month rehabilitation program.
“[W]hen this controversy arose, many were asking why didn’t I bother to scold (Hero) or proactively take action about my brother’s drug use,” he said. “Hero is 48 years old, has his own family, is independent from us. We barely see or talk to each other because we, as individuals, have our own set of lives and concerns.”
Bautista stressed that he was “proud” that his younger brother was “taking full responsibility for his actions.”

Manipulating Her to Stay
As NT and FD were being promoted as a loveteam, hours of being together allowed for moments of discovery. Soon, NT and FD had become close, and the network was supportive in encouraging their relationship. However, friends of FD were doubtful of the intentions of NT. After all, FD was far more popular and a potential star, whereas NT was just ordinary. Thus, their loveteam seemed to be more beneficial to NT than FD. Whenever someone is in love, like FD, no words from the closest of friends and even family could dissuade feelings. Disregarding words of wisdom from others, FD relied on her feelings and nurtured her relationship with NT.
Years passed and true colors were revealed. Exactly as what her friends had warned her, NT was not ideal. Given that they were both in the entertainment industry, NT could not dissociate professional from personal concerns. Instead of supporting FD, who was being entrusted with assignments left and right, NT behaved like a kid and expressed uncalled for negativity towards the career of FD.
Still, FD remained blind as she was too in love with NT, who could not care anymore. Rather than expand his understanding, he opted to remain narrow-minded and gave FD an ultimatum. However, before FD could make a decision, NT put his foot down and copped out of the relationship. As the development of their relationship was public, their fans felt sadness and disappointment, particularly at the attitude of NT.
While all seemed quiet and a resolution seems to have met a dead-end, rumors have it that NT had another ace up his sleeve. Allegedly, he planned to get FD into the interesting stage, so that she would not be able to completely avoid him. Thus, friends are waiting if NT succeeded with his plan, and if this alleged development would pave the way for their relationship to be ironed out as well. At this point, their fans are still optimistic that they would get back together and hope that both will be wiser if ever reconciliation happens.
