ALECO BOTH EXISTENT AND NON-EXISTENT, ACCORDING TO APEC We have reason to suspect that APEC personnel are profound philosophers. They manifest a belief in Heraclitus who taught that a thing can be and at the same time not be. Here is the evidence: APEC personnel impress upon the public that ALECO no longer exists and at the same time still exists. When ALEO obtained a Return-to-Work Order from the Secretary of Labor, APEC lawyers and spokespersons argued that the strikers had no more jobs to return to because ALECO no longer existed. When APEC applied for price increase on August 28, 2014, the corporation argued that they had to recover from 2015 to 2017 ALECO’s losses amounting to P124 million incurred from 2011 to 2013. In simple words, when ALEO wants to get back its members’ jobs, APEC says ALECO no longer exists. When APEC wants to get P124 million, APEC says ALECO still exists! We list some of the corporation’s other inconsistencies: (1) San Miguel was the sole bidder on August 7, 2013 for ALECO privatization. On September 2, 2014, Ms. Jane Rogando was quoted by Radio Veritas that APEC claimed to have no crew and equipment. The radio commentator quipped, “Why did you bid to manage ALECO?” (2) In his letter to Bishop Baylon dated August 30, 2013, Ramon Ang vowed to infuse P1.2 billion into ALECO. When the Bitano Substation failed, APEC used the consumers’ Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable Capex (RFSC) to buy two new transformers according to Ms. Felin on June 6, 2014 in the session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Albay. (3) Before Typhoon Glenda, APEC accused ALEO of disconnecting power lines. After Typhoon Glenda, APEC accuses ALEO of reconnecting power lines. (4) In the tagline, APEC vows to give us “the power to celebrate life.” In real life, it gives us hell after the storm. A host of other inconsistencies will hound APEC long after it has left ALECO. Meanwhile, they can “call a friend” to wiggle their way out of dilemma. Graham Priest “advocates that under some conditions, some statements can be both true and false simultaneously, or may be true and false at different times.” (Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_noncontradiction) His philosophy makes possible what is termed as the Liar’s Paradox. We can now define a liar as a profound philosopher and an idiot at the same and different times. September 4, 2014
