Akbayan's Gimik

Nakakatawa na talaga itong akbayan. Matapos sumabay kay Norberto Gonzales sa pagkakalat ng intriga laban sa BAYAN MUNA, may bago na naman itong gimik.

Imbes na sagutin ang reklamo ng Anak ng Bayan Party List laban sa kanila, pilit na inililigaw ng Akbayan ang isyu. Diumano'y target daw ng CPP-NPA si Ben Sumug-oy, National Council Member ng Akbayan. Ayon sa ulat, siya ang nakapirma sa sulat na ipinadala sa Board of Elections Inspectors sa Gen. Santos City, na nagsasabing ang botong "Anakbayan", “Akbay,” “Bayan,” and “Akbayan Muna” para sa Party List ay dapat mapunta sa Akbayan.
Based on reports of Anak ng Bayan poll watchers and volunteers of allied candidates and other progressive party-list groups, ballots

containing “Anakbayan,” especially in the Mindanao and Metro Manila regions, were accounted for Akbayan! Citizens Action Party instead of Anak ng Bayan, Alvarez, the youth party’s lead House nominee also said.

Darwin Atamosa of Barangay Conel, Gen. Santos City attested to such a complaint in his affidavit. He was assigned by the Anak ng Bayan Task Force Poll Watch to monitor the proceedings at the Conel Elementary School poll center.

He attested that a certain Mrs. Busano, BEI of precinct # 0168-B, justified the said move based on an Appeal Letter released by Akbayan.[Bulatlat.com]

At tila para mapagtakpan at mailigaw ang isyu, eto ang bagong gimik ng Akbayan.
AKBAYAN denounces the threats being made against the life of its National Council member Ben Sumog-Oy, a leader and organizer based in General Santos City in Mindanao.

Walls all over General Santos City have been painted with messages in red paint declaring "Hatol: Kamatayan para kay Ben Sumog-oy dahil sa pagnanakaw ng boto sa Bayan Muna at Anak ng Bayan." It was signed by the “CPP-NPA.” [akbayan.org]

Ang cheap.

Pero sa kabila ng mga intriga, nangunguna pa rin ang Bayan Muna sa pinkahuling tally ng comelec.

Samantala, tila may sumasagka din sa pagpasok ng Suara Bangsa Moro Party List sa Kongreso.
