Dante Jimenez of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) is reportedly mulling a boycott in payment of Meralco bills as a sign of protest.

“I’ve been monitoring itong mga investigation in aid of legislation at the Senate…at ang VACC ay nagpaplano ng mga series of actions tungkol sa pagtataas ng singil sa kuryente, isa sa magiging panawagan, kung magiging mailap at insensitive ang Meralco, ibo-boycott, kung kakailanganin, ang pagbabayad ng singil sa ating kuryente.”

He justified that his planned boycott is not an illegal act because it only shows the impatience of the people (wtf!). He even further said that if Meralco would send its linemen for disconnection, the people can bar Meralco’s utility men from cutting their lines. (Susmaryusep!).

If my memory serves me right, Dante Jimenez is one of those voices who cried for the observance of rule of law in the past attempts to oust GMA from power. He lambasted coup plotters for resorting to unconstitutional means to oust GMA from Malacanang.

However for Dante Jimenez, rule of law is only applicable if it will benefit his own interest and that of his patrons. If the illegal act is applied to the perceived enemies of the administration, Jimenez has no qualms of resorting illegal acts just to dramatize his point forgetting the name of the organization he is leading. May I remind Dante Jimenez that non payment of electric bills is estafa and the barring of linemen from doing their assigned duties is grave coercion.

Or maybe Jimenez is no longer against crime, moreso with corruption. With what he is proposing, maybe Jimenez should change the name of his organization to VOLUNTEERS FOR CRIME AND CORRUPTION.

that would be fair enough.
