I agree that what’s happening right now in central Negros is a portent of things to come in Benguet.

Their electric cooperative CENECO will be taken over by a private investor, which has already announced its attrition policy for gradually replacing the rank-and-file with their own people.

I think it would be futile to expect that the AGMA would be an occasion to “express their strong opinion” about the wrong way that BENECO’s affairs are going, or even to denounce persons they think are responsible for ruining their cooperative.

No one, least of all the Interim Board appointed by NEA, is interested in their opinion. The enforcers of NEA’s “step-in rights” to interfere with BENECO’ operations have their marching orders, and those are not subject to alteration by the Members’ grievances and sentiments.

He’d said again to a friend recently, as he had countless times before, “I never turn my back on my men in battle. I never abandon my people in the middle of a fight.”

Some call it the Magalong urban legend, or the PMA “mistah creed.” Whatever, Benjie has collected shrapnel scars over the years to prove it. Throughout his active tour of duty, he did stand in front of soldiers he commands. He did take a bullet or more for them, and in the flesh too not just in the flak jacket.

So why did NEA deal more harshly with the Magnificent Seven than Mel?

There is only one reason, and that reason is Mayor Benjie Bañez Magalong (“BBM” a tempting acronym to use, which I’d rather not.)

True, the interim board is a rubberstamp to approve all NEA initiatives, but it needs a rubberstamp of its own to rationalize its own existence—and that is the AGMA.

The only thing that can foil this plan is a massive—and I mean tidal wave massive—opposition by the general membership itself.

The conceptual “hook” that NEA used to inveigle public opinion so that many residents of Baguio and Benguet simply acquiesced to the virtual abolition of the regular BENECO Board was “massive corruption.”

Of course, any talk about fighting corruption will always get strong public support. Unfortunately, corruption is something very easy to allege but very hard to prove.

As far as the MCO’s are concerned, the most prominent and most cantankerous of them, you cannot count on anymore. They all drank the KoolAid.

Now there’s less than three weeks—21 days—to quickly mount a countermove.

BENECO Surrendered its most powerful weapon.
