Mike concedes; Palace surprised

Malaya’s editorial

By Wendell Vigilia

Former presidential chief of staff Michael Defensor today accepted defeat in the senatorial race.

“I concede to ease the tension … and to dismiss any notion that there may be illegal acts committed to attain my victory,” he said in a press conference with his wife July Rose and four children.

Defensor is at No. 15 based on the latest results of the national canvassing by the Commission on Elections.

“I am already sure that I cannot land within the Magic 12 of the senatorial bets. It is just numerically impossible,” Defensor said.

Defensor said his defeat “is not the President’s loss.”

“Her role is to ensure that democracy is respected and that she has accomplished,” he said.

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said he was surprised by Defensor’s decision.

He said Defensor never mentioned anything about conceding when they met Monday night.

Presidential adviser for political affairs Gabriel Claudio said Defensor merely affirmed his virtues as a good sport and a gentleman.

Team Unity spokesman Joseph Durano said as far as the administration bets are concerned, they will just “heed the will of the voters.”

Team Unity media director and Eastern Samar Gov. Ben Evardone would not accept defeat, noting that there are still some five million uncounted votes which he called “decisive” and likely to make more TU bets win, citing the small margins that separate those in the 8th to the 16th places.

Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, United Opposition president, asked Team Unity candidates outside the Magic 12 to concede.

“President Arroyo must tell the Team Unity candidates to shut up and accept the judgment of the people. It was Mrs. Arroyo herself who made an appeal immediately after the May 14 elections for everyone to accept the results of the election. We trust that the appeal is also addressed to administration candidates,” Binay said.

Binay chided Team Unity’s earlier statement that it will ask the Comelec to declare a failure of elections in Metro Manila and other opposition bailiwicks.

“I think this is a diversionary tactic. The Team Arroyo wants to take away public attention from the documented cases of fraud and cheating in areas which they are claiming to be their bailiwicks,” he said.

He assailed Team Unity’s deputy spokesman for singling out Makati as one of the cities they want to be investigated by the Comelec.

“I don’t know why Makati was singled out. The election in Makati was covered extensively by media. We had the National Movement for Free Elections and foreign observers. The Comelec investigation would show who cheated and the cheating they (administration) committed. Violations were made by Lakas and Kampi on election day, but on the whole Makati elections were peaceful and orderly,” Binay said. – With Jocelyn Montemayor and Ashzel Hachero

    Evardone may be hard of hearing, or he doesn’t get it. Mike Defensor said that he conceded ““..to ease the tension … and to dismiss any notion that there may be illegal acts committed to attain my victory,” he said in a press conference with his wife July Rose and four children.”

    Ed Ermita, on the other hand, “..was surprised by Defensor’s decision.”

    There seems to be crack in Team Unity, or even amongst Gloria’s men because of their reactions to this move of Mike Defensor. What comes to my mind is there COULD be some sort of power vacuum in the Palace..

    I salute Mike Defensor- he is a rare breed among the TUTAS-Si Sarmiento kaya ay matauhan din? Si Abalos? It’s impossible! But I still Dream of the Impossible Dream! Ipinagdadasal ko that through the intercession of this New Saint, who will be cannonized this weekend- na sana ang unang niyang “milagro” ay ang pagbabgo ng Class Valedictorian nang Assumption. AT kung magbago din si Sarmiento, I will offer a mass at the Holy Face Monsatery of the Benedictine Monks here in New Jersey. Fr. Bernard,OSB, Holy Face Superior loves the Filipinos here in New Jersey. It will be a thanksgiving mass for their conversion. Tulungan sana nila ang Filipinas through their prayers.

    As we have been exhorting the TU losers, mag-concede na habang maaga and the people will be kind to you. Mababaw naman ang kaligayahan ng mga Pinoy. Lalo na’t ang iyong purpose is to ease the tension.

    Mike, tol, congratulations! It’s good that you saw the light as Indio said. You are showing the way to your fellow but older candidates in your party.

    The appeal of Mrs. Arroyo immediately after elections for everyone to accept the results of the elections was just a show off. Kasi mag-a-abroad siya para maganda ang image kahit hindi na pwedeng maretoke her look. But as we know, her instructions is to go on with their cheating ways to achieve the 12-0 for the TU. Kaya nga siya palaging umaalis para hindi halata na she’s orchestrating it all. Hindi na siguro nakatiis si Mike D. Naalibadbaran na rin.

    ike, ‘Tol, dyan ako sa bilib sa iyo. Yayain mo na rin yong ibang umaasa pa. Huwag kang maniwala kay Evardone. Sipsip lang yon dahil malaki ang datung na ibinigay sa kanya and what I heard, nahihirapan ngayong mag-account. Hindi kasi nakarating sa dapat bigyan, kaya yun, na-olat kayo sa mga probinsiya. Nasaan ang mga pera? Yan ang halughugin ninyo, ‘Tol.

    Thank you for conceding and realizing that the people have spoken. Thank you for your desire to ease the tension. Thank you for providing a rare precedent in this benighted administration. May your gentlemanly act make Gloria, Albano, Pichay, Recto, Zubiri and the rest see that there could be honor in defeat,too.

    I never did like your politics but I am finding myself giving you a standing ovation on this one.

    There is hope for the Philippines.

    Beautiful comments, Skip.

    I second the motion !

    Conceding in a fight or contest, does not make one less of a man. It makes one a man.

  8. vic vic

    And “Dagdag-Bawas”, ingat!! Now they operators need not shave the GO candidates vote to add to their contending candidates to get into the Magic 12, but that of Mike Defensor, since they may not even tally his votes anymore after him conceding. Always be skeptical, until the last card is up..

  9. xanadu xanadu

    If we have the Look of the Year award, we have now the Surprise of the Year award! And it goes to..Tol Mike!

    Unlesss, unless, as skeptical as Vic, ang boto niya ay hindi idagdag sa iba. Baka naman one of the pakulo lang toits, babawiin ko ang pag-congratulate ko kay ‘Tol.

  10. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Agree ako sa ‘yo, Rose. It’s time to start offering Thanksgiving masses for this latest happening. M. Defensor, I salute you for being humble enough to concede. You’re a good example to your older team mates! Make the rest follow suit!

  11. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    Was the announcement made by the Mighty Mimiyak really came from his heart?

    Whatever the motive is, I hope it is beyond politics.

    Chabeli:

    I really am savoring the moment because you do not see such things happening everyday. You could not but be moved by the poignancy and dignity that attended Mike’s press con.

    Which, of course, was in stark contrast with the reaction of Malacanang. Apparently Mike’s decision took Malacanang by surprise.

    Reli German kept babbling about how Mike’s concession would become academic should he still land in the Top 12. Suko na nga yung boksingero, tinutulak pa sa ring nung trainer.

    Mike, that was a class act. I hope you infect the others.

  13. noypisausa noypisausa

    Mike is truly a gentleman. He knows best. I am happy for him and for the rest of those who did not make it to the magic twelve. although the election was not as perfect as we would have liked it, it looks like the people have matured. I really hope that the twelve will not fail the expectations of the people. Honasan is given another chance to prove himself. Questions is, how will Trillanes perform if he is still detained?

  14. Now, if only he would concede that the Filipino nation doesn’t need him, would even be better for everyone concerned – I suggest that having done the right thing this once, Mike Defensor should leave the political scene altogether and if he could persuage his mistress to do the same, then that would be just grand.

    So, Mr Defensor, beat it, scram, get lost, ok?

  15. BOB BOB

    For every TU candidate na makapasok sa magic 12…may bonus si Reli German….ssssssshhhhhh !! huag ingay…kaya namumuhunan iyan sa Maguindanao …sa ngayon ,liit kita kasi umatras na iyong isa yung dalawa naman tagilid na din…

  16. I would’ve considered Mike a class act if he hadn’t stood by this Administration for as long as he did. To this day he has not acknowledged the wrongs that Gloria has done to the people including, but not limited to, the ‘Hello Garci’ controversy.

    Even a thief sometimes does not kill the inhabitants in the house, is that thief noble in his pursuit?

    Mike has not even begun to do the heavy work in cleaning up his name.. Although this concession is a class act, anything less than a denunciation of the current President will fall on deaf ears.

  17. I don’t believe that this last act by this Gloria dog deserves admiration – fine that he’s done it but as Nick says it would’ve been class act if he hadn’t stood by Gloria’s crass acts all this time.

    He’s done so much harm that it would do more than ONE FRIGGING pa-pogi point act to redeem himself.

    Now that he’s conceded, he should “move on” and frigging go away altogether. Full stop!

  18. skip skip

    I agree Nick.

    My admiration stops at his concession, which couldn’t have come at a better time. I am not about to sing hallejujahs yet — he has a lot of explaining to do for his complicity in the grave injustices his boss has committed against the people.

    I’ll take my good news where I can find them.

  19. In other countries, politicians caught doing the unspeakable thing commit harakiri – now, we don’t expect Mike Defensor to do that coz it takes lots of moral courage to do that but really, we should be harsh, harsher and really harshest on anyone, anybody, all of them who prop Gloria up.

    No less than the full rage of the Filipino people shoul be meted on these bastards. Full stop.

  20. Mike Defensor conceded? Sorry but I am not impressed! He should in fact set the trend of leaving the Pandak once and for all! Mamundok na lang siya!

  21. Anna,

    The idiot has conceded but he is still singing the pandak’s tune. In love siguro talaga! Iyong mga talo puede ba, mag-concede na?

    CONCEDE! CONCEDE! CONCEDE!

    Next agenda, the removal of the criminal from the palace by the murky river! Kaya nandoon sa Australia, humihingi ng saklolo doon sa kalbong PM ng Australia. Hindi niya siguro alam na taga-doon si Philip Alston!!!

  22. I’ve not been fooled by Defensor getting out of the heat of the kitchen before the SchizoChef returns back from her various junket trips. For me, its difficult to admire any action of a person who was an out and out yes man, prepared to be a liar for the sake of keeping his rank and position with someone who has an obvious mental problem.
    As he said, he stood down for the sake of his wife and children. Difficult for him to find employment – yes men are ten for a penny!

  23. ystakei:
    No action required to remove Schizoglo, she is already in ‘Self Destruct Mode’. Just give her a little time after arriving back to base and kicking the Palace Cat. I hate cats – they’re so demanding! – smile

    One big stab in the back! That’s what it really is, as far as the other laggards, from Pichay to Kiram, are concerned. He has virtually conceded for all eight of them, leaving behind Ate Migz and Ralph Rectum for the final push.

    Whatever hopes Pichay may have been pinning at this time has effectively been shot by Defensor’s act. I will not be surprised if these crooks start shooting at each other.

  26. martina martina

    Asus, pinuri ninyo pa eh talagang talo na siya. Dapat lamang na magconcede, dahil malayong malayo siya. Huwag masyado makalimot mga pinoys.

  27. Should wipe the smile off the smiling assassin’s face Pitchay – in the words of Clint Eastwood ‘Make my day’.
    To think he even modelled for a mascot, what a pilchard.

  28. Next is that all the Schizoglo’s men will be stitching each other up, Defensor took the ball home with him and wouldn’t let them play.

  29. martina martina

    Aside from malayo siya, si ‘Tol ay parang hindi na masyadong favorite ni Madam Tiyanak, kaya nagconcede na yan, walang pagasa na ipasok siya kahit sa daya.

    Concede you fools.

    Tutapet has been busy, WWNL, trying to get their own people from opposition bailiwicks to manufacture evidence of GO’s “cheating”. They’ve lost a lot of sleep from the beating they sustained especially in southern Metro Manila: San Juan, Makati, Pasay, Manila, Taguig, Pateros, and Muntinlupa. Easily, 3 million votes.

    Even his boss Reli German has grown giant eyebags, look at those upper eyelids!

  32. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Not so fast. Baka idagdag ang mga boto ni Mike Defensor kina Zubiri, Recto at Pechay. Ito ang tinatawag na ‘TOL’S GAMBIT ACCEPTED. Tatlong Herodes ang makikinabang. Balak nilang matisod sina Trillanes, Pimemtel, Cayetano at Gringo.

    Defensor said his defeat “is not the President’s loss.”

    “Her role is to ensure that democracy is respected and that she has accomplished,” he said.

    Excuse me, I’m withdrawing my praise to M. Defensor’s latest pa-pogi points!

    Nag-concede nga siya pero, panay pa rin ang endorsed kay Gloria! Matanong lang si Defensor: “Since when did Gloria respected democracy and how did she accomplish it?”
    Acting as the president when she WASN’T vote as one …IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN, ha, Mike Defensor?

    Talaga namang talo ka… gusto mo pang MAKAISA..lokohin mo si Lolo mong kalbo!

    “I am already sure that I cannot land within the Magic 12 of the senatorial bets. It is just numerically impossible,” Defensor said.

    It dealt a heavy blow to Pichay, whose tabloids are still predicting his sure entry into the winning circle. Defensor, who is in 15th place has given up since it was “numerically impossible” how can Pichay, in 16th place, claim otherwise?

    With this declaration of Defensor, the cheating machinery may now only concentrate on Zubiri and Recto.

    Pichay is out of the running.

  35. Ang binibili ngayon ng mga TUta, hindi na boto. Affidavits na (of alleged GO cheating).

  36. mher mher

    ang totoong dahilan kung bakit nagconcede si defensor asi may usapan sila ni arroyo na walang iwanan ang problema nang iwan si arroyo kya sa sama ng loob un sumuko na lang, tama nmn ang gnwa nya alm nyokung bakit kasi makukuha niya ang simpatiya ng bayan un ang alam niya kaya lang mangayari yun kci lahat ng nakadikit kay arroyo sori kayo, kung ano man marinig namin, ok lang pero labas lang sa isang tenga kasi sawa n kami s pangako,sbi nga noon pangako ng pangako puro napapako lang, ngayon iba na ang kasabihan,heto na ang bago ngayon pichay ng pichay sa tv di naman kilala ayun ang nangyayari ung pichay naging kalabasa ah ah ah ah ah nakakatuwa talaga tyong mga Filipino.

  37. Ellen,

    You don’t say! Sanamagan! Buying affidavits? Heck, why waste such talents for doing bad things?

    Why do these guys purporting to be all smart, don’t just use their brains to do good instead of using their head so they can come up with all the bad things, more sinister, more crooked each time.

  38. parasabayan parasabayan

    Diego, tama ka, the votes of Defensor will go to Subiri, Recto and Pichay so the last three of the magic 12 will be dropped. Tiyanak probably convinced him to drop so the other candidates with less votes to make up for will be in the magic 12. Maybe the tiyanak promised him a rose garden in her Enchanted Kingdom-a position better than what he had before. Baka siya ang papalit kay Ermita o Bunye, mukha namang retirable na itong dalawang ito sa totoo lang.

    Didn’t Gloria say she was not going to run for presidency anymore in front of no other than our National Hero? Then what did she do immediately after? She ran and even cheated big to be the bogus president! If Tol Mike is like tiyanak, I do not take his conceding as a real one. I will wait until the cheated votes from Maguindanao, Sulu and all the other 2.7 million votes will be fully counted or disregarted. Then and only then will I say, he really lost. These TUtas are very makakapal(Macapagal) and they do not really know the word “concede”.

  39. parasabayan parasabayan

    Kaya panay ang travel ni tiyanak, nagsosolocit siya ng donation at uutang para mapalitan niya ang biliones na nilustay niya sa mga kandidato niya from the barrio captain to the senators. Now she has to pay those money back bago siya mabuking pag nag convene ang mga bagong senators. This is why the tiyanak is very passionate about putting her three lapdogs in the senate (Zubiri, Recto and Pichay) para baka sakali the senate will be kinder to her.

  40. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Got the same intel too, Ellen. We noticed a sudden surge of activity in the TUTA camps these past 2 days which have been more silent than our Sgt. Mariano Cemetery since last week. We were told TUTA lawyers are gearing up for a protracted battle both in Comelec and the courts. Our colleagues in Makati are getting the same reports.

    They are now asking for trouble. We will give it to them.

  41. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    They are training their guns on Metro Manila because if they are successful here, their dreams of 12-0 TUTA victory could actually happen.

    Tignan natin!

  42. “They are now asking for trouble. We will give it to them.”

    Right on! This time, Gloria and her cabal of election cheats might just be in for a surprise.

  43. I believed that whatever happens, Zubiri and Recto shouldn’t be allowed to steal to get in the magic 12! You yield an inch of ground and they (Gloria and her TUtas) will grab everything. Filipinos have got to fight back now!

  44. Ellen hasn’t yielded an inch of ground to these bastards – we cannot let Ellen down. I actually admire Carandang too who had guts to take on the enemy in their territory and video expose the election cheats.

  45. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    In case Comelec chief Benjamin Abalos insist the counting of votes in Maguindanao, the TU senators who benefited from massive cheating will be labeled as BANANA-SABA SENATORS. Why? Maguindanao ballots filled in banana farm.

  46. Re “Maguindanao ballots filled in banana farm.”

    One can only shake one’s head in disbelief over these cheating operations. The revelations, one after the other are so incredibly brazen, one is left literally dumbfounded by how low this country has gone; that Gloria can even face her neighbours with so much bravado is just staggering!

  47. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Is this possible in the Philippines? Gloria’s TEAM UNITY and Comelec chief Benjamin Abalos may have conspired in Maguindanao fraudulent 12-0 TU clean sweep. Justice is elusive in the Philippines.

    i would be more glad if Tol would also admit his malicious intention of saying “it’s the voice of gma, but she is not the one actually speaking”, of the hello garci fame.

    makadagdag pa siguro ng pogi points na gusto niyang makuha. likewise, for him to denounce openly the brazen abuse and corrupt practices of those in the government, kasali na yung paging in-charge niya sa denr.

    yuko, humingi man ng saklolo si pandak dito kay helen clark at kay john howard sa australia, eh pareho rin namang palubog na ang dalawang leaders na yan eh. wait until the next elections at talagang mawawala na rin.

    clark is losing her grasp. alam ni clark na wala na rin siyang ningning, natatabunan na rin siya ng national party’s leader na si john key. eh si howard naman, malakas na rin yung opposition sa australia.

    para tuloy last hurrah na nilang tatlo ang pagsama-sama nila.

    may plano pa rin si pandak nang magtanong sa isang official dito kung ang isang uri ng kahoy tutubo sa philippines, dahil balak nga na magtanim din sa pinas ng ganong klaseng tree. ang naisip ko kaagad: siempre, para mapalitan yung mga pinaputol ng kanyang mga alipores sa illegal logging, at para na ring may maputol uli?

    tarantado talaga yang pandak na yan!

  50. Yuko,

    By the way, the SOFA that will be signed between RP and Australia under the auspices of the office of Gloria bruha should be examined with a fine toothcomb.

    SOFA, Status of Forces Agreement was patterned after NATO-SOFA (I know coz the guy that negotiated the SOFA for Pinas talked to me about it at length); I reminded the this friend of mine that SOFA (the NATO one) has provisions in it allowing for foreign troops not only to do military exercises but to get stationed in the host country requiring the setting up of military bases for the visiting troops (therefore foreign) or that goes against RP Constitution.

    Friend told me that he reminded then DND chief (Cruz) about it – he even snickered that Cruz was just immitating the SOFA (NATO) for RP without knowing the full substance of what he was copying implying that Cruz may be a legal eagle but was still short on the very fine lines in military treatises.

    Of course, the Aussies would be in in high heavens – imagine they would be able to extend their tentacles and set up military facilities in Pinas that is if the SOFA they are signing with Pinas is NATO-SOFA carbon copied.

    As I’ve said time and again, in this same blog, the Aussies have more intel assets parked in Pinas than US CIAs put together.

    I alerted Sen Pimentel about this when the first draft of SOFA was submitted to Pinas. He said at the time that he didn’t know what the treaty contained yet and so he’d rather wait and see.

    For all you know, the SOFA that Gloria is about to sign (her DFA chief actually) might be a trap – you might wake up being surrounded not only by American troops but by Aussie troops too and all in violation of RP Constitution. While these foreign troops might want to be helpful to Pinas, their presence could also spark an Iraq scenario in the Philippines, sort of an accident waiting to happen.

    Anyway, Philippines beware!

  51. Oh btw, I have no doubt the the US urged Pinas to go for the SOFA treaty with Australia. Not that Americans couldn’t have twisted the arm of Gloria to sign a SOFA with them but with the VFA already going in flames, they needed an ally to take the heat away and who better than Australia to do it for them – acting as surrogate SOFA signatory for the US?

  52. Australian defence dealers have been some of the most corrupt of the corrupt – they made several commanders of the Philippine Coast Guard VERY VERY WEALTHY!

    Once a shipbuilding company tried to sell a project to Pinas and almost sold it to the Navy complete with equipment that were still on the drawing board had I not shown them evidence that the company in question was about to go bankrupt unless they signed the deal with the Navy (the deal would have given them a lease on life and would have been used in Australia to get new investors in their company.) They had a broker who was a former military officer living in Forbes park and who happened to be an excellent bosom buddy of a former Senator who was chairing the defence committee in the Senate.

    In all the tiyanak’s travels, she is given military assistance in the form of older equipments. There is so much money in this. Just the retrofitting of the trucks and equipments cost a lot of money. It is probably even cheaper to just go ahead and buy newer equipments with warranties. Para na lang tayong basurahan talaga. Even Japan wants to dump their toxic waste in the Philippines. What will we do with all the old trucks that have balding tires( I saw about 30 of those trucks in April when I was in Camp Aguinaldo). The only thing newer was the paint but one can visibly see that the trucks are at the end of their lives. With tiyanak as our head, we look like talagang kawawa. The whole world looks at us as beggars and cheats. Wala ng ginawa itong si tiyanak kundi humingi ng limos. Wala na talagang hiya. Ang kapal talaga. She is going around asking for aid (money and equipments). In exchange for these very old equipments is the unlimited use of our land for whatever operations these countries want. If the US presence in Sulu is helpful, why were there overwhelming election cheating in that region in the May elections?

    I bet you, the US, Australia and all these countries giving all the old military trucks and combat equipments are definitely so glad that they found a dumping place for these items which they probably wanted to put to rest in their junk yards.

    salamat at nabigyan KONTI ng hustisya ang ginawa nating brigadang ‘No to Mike Defensor sa Senado’, ng magconcede ito ng pagkatalo.

    nasorpresa ang Palasyo?, dapat lang !, kasi itong si Mike D., in fairness sa kanya, perfect ang pang-amoy at radar nito; kinukumpirma lang nito ang matagal na nating alam—–talagang wala ng gana ang buong sambayanang Pilipino sa pamumuno ng kriminal na iskwater ng Malakanyang. at hangad ng mamamayan ang malawakang pagbabago.

    gulat si Ermita at iba pang TUTA personalities?, pinapakita lang ni Mike D., sa inyo kung paano IWANAN ang mga sinumpaang ‘kaibigan’ at kaalyado, sanay sa ganitong gawain kahit sino ang nakakasama —-at dito magsisimula ang tunay na political coup de grace ni Glue at ng pagguho ng kanyang Enchanted Kingdom.

    kung magpapatuloy si ‘Tol sa pagdepensa at pagpuri sa kriminal na nagkukunwang Presidente, alam niya at alam ng marami sa atin na HINDI na makakabangon ito sa kanyang negosyo sa politika.

    ang anunsyo ni Mike ay masasabing 2 ang pinahiwatigan: ang simula ng pakipag-alyansa sa mga oposisyon, at pagkilala sa hatol ng bayan—-na 8-2-2, pabor sa GO/oposisyon, ang tunay na balangkas ng botohan.

    naiintindihan ko ang katagang, ‘…Politics breeds strange bedfellows…’, pero babala ko sa mga handang yumakap ng mahigpit kay Mike, kayo ang isusunod niyan pagnakataong baligtad ang pangyayari. Ito ang isang politikong kilala lamang ang kapakanan ng SARILI.

    mungkahi ko sa kanya: forever make yourself invisible and yes, GET LOST !!

  55. Palace surprised daw sa pag-concede ni Benggot? Maniwala ka sa mga sinungaling. Pakana din nila iyan para maawa ang mga tao sa kaniya dahil sa totoo lang basang-basa na ang papel ng kumag na iyan pati na iyong kamag-anak niyang scattered brain!

    Bakit ba ang daming Miguel sa Pilipinas na hindi naman worth ng pangalang iyan. Kakasuka!

  56. Rare breed, Rose? Si Mike Defensor, rare breed? I doubt. Noong panahon ng nuno natin yes. Rare sa kawalanghiyaan at kapal ng mukha but not now! Parepareho lang silang makakapal ang apog! Susmaryosep!

    Nag-concede nga siya, pero kung pagkatapos mabilang ang “boto” o kaya’y “ginawang boto” ay panalo siya, ano ang gagawin niya? “Ay panalo pala ako!”, yari!

Wait till you see her other Mike! Baka Atkins’ Diet, lyposuction, etc. ang ginagawa sa St. Luke’s. Paglumabas iyan na payat na, ang tanong, magkano ang ginastos at saan kinuha ang pampapapayat! Hindi na lang siya sumama doon sa mga basurero ng Payatas o magpahawa sa mga tisiko sa Quezon Institute. Pihadong papayat siya!

    TUTA operatives sighted in Makati’s First District where Singaw ng Bayad bought, er, collected signatures for the fake people’s initiative, aided by TUTA-friendly barangay captains. They can’t use them as complainants, though. They have been video-ed already and will be exposed the moment they start filing false election-cheating complaints against Binay and the rest of the GO slate. More Ricky Carandangs standing up against the cheats. Hooray!

    They just won’t stop, would they? I can’t believe it has gone down this low! Kakasuka na!

    Mayroon na naman maipagmamalaking job creation si Blinky Tiyanak sa kanyang SONA sa July!

    Mantaking naghahanap ng mga taong gagawa ng complaint affidavits laban sa Genuine Opposition (GO) senatorial candidates. Patunay daw ito na mayroon election cheating na ginawa ang GO.

    Siyempre sa tindi ng hirap ng buhay ay maraming kakagat diyan at pirma lang naman ang kanilang isususlat dahil ang nilalaman ng affidavits ay inihanda na ng mga galamay ni Blinky Tiyanak.

    Can we call that innovative ideas? Absolutely not! Karma ang kapalit niyan lalo na sa mga papatol sa “patibong” na ito.

    Alalahanin ninyo napakaraming fake na Pnp500 at Pnp1,000 bills ang nagkalat ngayon baka maisahan na naman kayo.

    Tongue na niyong mga gumagamit at sinasamanta ang mga mahihirap!

    JonM,

    Same thoughts here.

    Kaya as for now, e ano kung nag-concede s’ya! I’ll see first kung ano ang mga kasunod na drama!

    Dapat, pati si Tita Migz at Kuya Vi ay mag-CONCEDE na. Pinatatagal pa nila e talo naman talaga sila! Surender na kamo dalawa at ng we can “move on”!

    nais kong tawagan ng pansin ang masyadong mabilis at maaga na pagbibigay ng puwang para sa pagpapatawad sa editoryal ng Malaya tungkol sa pagtanggap ng pagkatalo ni Mike D., sa kanilang editoryal.

    sa pagpupugay at pagbansag na ito ay isang ‘class act’, ay maihahalintulad sa walang pakundangan gawain ng kriminal na iskwater sa Malakanyang na maggawad at mamigay ng Medal of Valor sa mga taong walang karapatan at personal na bantay ni Glue—-tuloy, nawawalan ng halaga ang simbolismo ng isang tunay na medalya, na ito ay HINDI nabibili ng salapi. at ito ay labas sa gawaing normal.

    ang terminong ‘class act’ ay binibigay sa isang aktong kamangha-mangha, at hindi sa mga bagay na inaasahan, sa kaso ni Mike, bilang tagapagsilbi ng publiko.

    matapos ang 17-araw mula halalan bago ihagis ang tuwalya ay hindi maaring tawaging class act !! sa minimum, ito ay simpleng gawaing dapat inaasahan sa tunay na Iskolar ng Bayan (aka UP student), at sa maksimum naman, isang OBLIGASYON ng sinumang kandidatong papasok sa prosesong elektoral.

    totoong siya ang naunang kandidatong senatoryal na humarap sa publiko at tumanggap ng pagkatalo, pero anong ang kapuri-pur dito ?!

    bibigyan ko ng pagkakataong gumawa si Mike ng isang TUNAY na ‘class act’ ; ilahad niya sa publiko ang kabuuang halaga ng kanyang GINASTOS sa kampanyahan na dumaan sa isang awditor na sumusunod sa prosesong GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).

    gawin mo ito, Mike , at magiging handa akong ikampanya ikaw na patawarin sa mga taong binalasubas mo…

    at Mike, maging handa din kayo, sa parusang igagawad sa paglabag sa electoral expenses cap.

    Lets not forget that Tol is a master of deceit. And he is a strategist. Conceding is only a ploy to leave him out of the picture on the delay of proclamation of at least 9 winning senatorial candidates if Cayetano is still there. The administration is hopeful against all unpleasant hopes to corrupt the remaining COCs. But let us watch out what will happen if Cayetano and the other two are not dislodged. No proclamation at all while the lady is out of the country on the European junket.

    Baka nalilito si Mike Defensor. Hindi niya malaman kung saan nanggaling ang mga pondo, pribado o gobierno?
