Write your congressman

Gloria Arroyo’s bulldozer team wasted no time incrashing the seven impeachment complaints against her. Only one left. The one lodged by the Black and White Movement led by former social welfare secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman.

We have no illusions about the fate of the impeachment complaint in Arroyo-controlled Lower House.

But let us make known to them what we feel and what we expect of them.

The Black and White Movement has prepared this form for us to send to congressmen.

All it takes is love of country, follow through and around Php7 for a stamp Here’s an example of a letter, feel free to cut and paste:

If he or she is anti-impeachment:

The Honorable __________________________
Representative, ____ District, _______________
The House of Representatives
Batasan Road, Quezon City

Your Honor,

Citizens of the Philippines have filed a new and official Impeachment Complaint against Pres. Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo. This Citizens’ Impeachment Complaint has been enthusiastically endorsed by various groups representing a broad spectrum of Filipino society.

As part of your constituency, we wish to convey to you our strongest sentiments in favor of this action.

We believe that Impeachment is the only legal avenue left to allow Pres. Macapagal Arroyo to answer her detractors and clear her name. Most of all, it is the best way to get to the Truth so that we may all move on and return to normalcy.

We also believe that your vote in favor of Impeachment will help restore trust and belief in the House of Representatives as well as disavow us of the idea that our Congressmen have turned a deaf ear to us.

In closing, we respectfully expect you – in your capacity as our representative and voice in Congress – to please bear in mind and take into consideration our views in this regard.

Thank you very much.

In case your Congressman happens to have signed on to last year’s Impeachment, here’s a letter you can write to him or her:

Your Honor,

Warm greetings! I am _________________________________, a voting constituent in your district, with address at __________________________. ____________________________________________________________.

I would like to congratulate you on your courageous stand in last year’s impeachment proceedings against Pres. Gloria Macapagal -Arroyo.

As one of your constituents, I take great pride in the fact that my very own representative was one of the 50 congressmen who stood up against the powers-that- be in the interest of truth, justice and honest governance.

Regardless of the outcome, we shall have achieved a historic moral victory in refusing to compromise our integrity and the well-being of the nation.

Thank you and more power to you!

    We should go for it. I think most of our Congressmen can not hear the voice of majority of the people-WE WANT THE IMPEACHMENT TO PROCEED!!! DO YOU HEAR?????

  2. npongco npongco

    Do you think I should write to Congressmen Mikey Arroyo and Iggy “Jose Pidal” Arroyo?

    What about to Pichay and Nograles?

    They won the impeachment battle last year and they are still savoring their ARROGANCE OF POWER because they got away with it. They said they can kill it impeachment-2 in seven days. And began by killing seven impeachment complaints which is a first step.

    80 congressmen received money from the Fertilizer Scam and this is part of the impeachment complaint. How do you think they will vote? Did you not hear that they changed the definition of DELICADEZA?

    Who cares about logic when you can can change DEFINITIONS anyway. Classroom shortage? Change the definition. Unemployment? Change the definition. Election Cheating? Change the Definition. Corruption? Change the definition. Peaceful demonstrations? Change the definition to DESTABILIZATION. Chain of Command? Change the definition. Delicadeza? Change the definition and you have a Good Congressman. But can they fool the people.

    This new or second impeachment will not prosper just like the first one. Santa Claus already went around the Congress months ago. There’s a saying “What are we in power for?”

  7. While the palace is full of juggler’s, the majority are made up of clowns and political acrobats. Yup, I’ll write my (?).

  8. The move is noble.

    BUT do we have noble congressmen around?

    Kung meron man, wala sa lugar ko sa Pinas.

    Somewhere, somehow…..God will help us.

  9. Thank you, Ellen, for posting our letters on your blog and helping us get the word out. Every Filipino has the right to inform their Representatives of their will.

    Although we’re happy at least one Complaint was admitted, we are still going to fight for all the Complainants, over a thousand of us, to be included in the 8th Complaint. Like Chiz (or was it Alan Peter? I was there but memory fails me, so much was going on) said, there should be no such thing as “barred Complainants”. Besides, we all signed on to the same Complaint each time.

    Hope you all have time to monitor today’s hearing, it should be even more interesting.

    I think crocodile skin-thick lawmakers do not fully understand the principle “conflict of interest“. They have no DELICADEZA or don’t care at all. If they really accepted indirect bribe like the over-priced liquid fertilizer, then, they must inhibit themselves in the impeachment complaint deliberations. Where’s justice? They cannot represent two conflicting parties in a dispute at the same time. The Filipino people no longer tolerate Moro-Moro deliberations. Their anger and desperation had long been crystallized. The wrath of the people will kick their asses in the next election. We want truth and justice. Pro Gloria Arroyo congressmen will pay a high price in the 2007 national elections.

  12. I agree with Karl Garcia that it will be useless to be writing to Iggy Pidal and the nephew because when the Midget is removed they know they go down with her. It will be for self-preservation that they will just throw everybody’s letter of protest in the trash bin. As for the infamous Pichay, Nograles and even Lagman, we know likewise where they stand but it will be worth a try to deluge these crooks with letters from Filipinos at home and abroad.

    Even if I am not a Philippine voter nor know who represents the area where my properties are and I pay taxes for, but I may just as well write to anyone in the Philippine Congress. Maybe, I’ll write to Ablan of Ilocos Norte whom my uncle says is related to my mother. Personally, I don’t like the guy for what I am hearing about him, but I may just as well write him and yes, even Imee Marcos, and challenge them to prove that they’re worth the votes of the people who put them where they are now.

    We did this letter writing in fact when we were advocating for the OAV Bill. I keep a letter in fact from the representative of a district in Pangasinan, and he was convinced to vote for the OAV Law.

    It’s time to make these Congressmen work for the people, not for the crook who plunders the treasury to bribe them.

    BTW, I would like to suggest that we write to the representatives of California likewise in the US Senate and Congress re Bolate like Senator Barbara Boxer and Congressman Peter Stark of Hayward, CA.

  13. tong mga congressmen natin, sila ang sumisira sa kinabukasan ng mga kabataan at kalagayan ng bayan, mga walang kwenta dapat burahin ang mga pagmumukha nila.

    My question was meant as a joke. Why should I be writing to the two Arroyos in Congress? Mere common sense…

    Ma’m Ellen, pasensya na kung medyo “negatibo” ang aking magiging “pananaw” ukol sa “suhestiyon” na ito. Kahit pa si Jose Rizal ang sumulat sa mga “taong” ito (take note of the “tao”, kasi pangkaraniwang tao lang naman din ang mga hayop na ito, tulad ni Nograles, Pichay, at isama na rin itong si Lagman) ay HINDI NA MAGBABAGO ANG KANILANG ADHIKAIN…iyon ay ang PATULOY NA PAGTAKPAN AT PATAYIN ANG KATOTOHANAN. Hihiramin ko ang “dialogue” ni Jack Nicholson sa “A Few Good Men”…pero ibahin ko ng kaunti…”..WE want the TRUTH?…but THEY can’t HANDLE the TRUTH!”…kasi “TIGBAK” lahat sila sa oras na lumabas ang KATOTOHANAN.

    Right now, as before…the “House of (Horrors)Representatives” is CONTROLED by gloria’s representatives only. We can say that if ever a “brawl” break-up, those favoring the Impeachment of evil gloria would be “mauled” and “beaten” black and blue by a ration of 10-1. The “parliament of the streets” is the ONLY and SENSIBLE option left. That’s why Palparan’s gang of “liquidators” are working “double-time” in eliminating as many militant leaders and agressive members as they can, before the “CROOKS” in barongs and suits do their “dirty job” of totally “snapping the life-out” of the “Impeachment Complaint.

    People!!! It’s useless to write our congressmen to support the 2nd impeachment on the leprechaun, you ask why??? look what happened yesterday, again on mere technicality they rejected the the other complaints, now to those people who are saying that the pro-impeachment congressmen are making mockery of the impeachment should tell themselves, the pro-impeachment congressmen are correct, why again??? because these anit-ipeachment congressmen has just thrown in the waste basket the other complaints because of technicality. But if these people will take a look at the complaints, they are one and the same, the pros filed it only on different dates so as to counter the technicality that thses anti-impeach congressmen will impose on the pros.

    On the joc-joc watch:

    Now it can be told that there was indeed a gag instruction from malacanang to the DFA. People at the the DFA should now talk in public, if they want be anonymous then its useless, nothing will happen, with the support of malacanang to the joke, tsk, tsk, tsk……. the DFA should now release documents pertaining to the gag order.

    jinx…I also seen the “circus” via the TFC…there is this tongressman named “Mandarambong”?..or whatever…who looked like he was trying to “challenge” another “mambubutas” named plaza(?) to a “fist fight”. Apprently, the “onion skin” Mandarambong got “offended” by the remarks of plaza that has something to do with the word “involved”…parang si Miguel Bugel iyong tongressman na may “sore-yes” pa ata dahil sa laki at dilim ng suot na “antipara”, habang pinipigilan ng kaniyang mga kasamahan ay lalong nagpupumiglas at nanggigigil, pero ng bitawan ay tumigil…as usual, manduduro ang LOLO mo. 😛

Talagang kapag iisipin natin, lumalabas na “pulos ngakngak” lamang tayo sa ngayon…ang talagang katanungan ay KAILAN ang “kilos”. Hindi “PAANO”…dahil alam naman na nating mga Pilipino kung paano “MAGPATALSIK” ng isang Panggulo, hindi rin “SAAN” dahil alam natin na sa KALYE ang “ruweda”. Kaya’t “WHEN?” Manongs and Manangs.

    WHEN??? i really pray sooner that we all think…i wouldnt mind meeting with u fellow manongs and manangs when the time comes that we have our own principyo at hand and toppling down this bogus admin…

    The die is cast. Malacanang congressmen will junk the 2nd impeachment complaints against Gloria Arroyo within 60 days. They are following make to believe script. It has been decided after “bribe money” and release of pork barrel to pro Arroyo tongressmen. They sold their “loyalty” to the devil. We are just watching zarzuela Gloria Encantada Part II.

    soleil…hehehe, natawa naman ako dun sa “…BIR(grrrrr)” mo. As in may “poot” talaga…LOL…LOL. Alam mo, wala tayong magagawa sa mga “tauhan” ng gobyerno na mga iyan…kasi tayo din na mga pinoy ang mali, masyado tayong “mapapag-pakumbaba” at “magagalang”. Madalas, me mga nakakasabay ako duon sa POEA, pati mga “sikyu” sine-sir…kaya kung mag-aasta ang mga damuho, daig pa ang SWAT. Minsan hindi ako nakatiis, meron ako sinabihan na huwag niyang “i-sir” yung sikyu, kasi isa siya sa nagpapa-suweldo duon. I mean, I hate to “sound” like this…kaya lang pwera kaipukrituhan, sa atin bansa lang ako nakakita na “sine-sir” iyong “sikyu”…hehehe. Call them “manongs”, “kuyas”, or “brods”. It’s not that I don’t “admire” our “culture” of respect and politeness, kaya lang siguro it’s about time na ituro din sa atin ang “tamang gamit” ng mga ito. Kaya si gloria at ang mga impakto niyang “alagad” ay “NAGHAHARI” dahil sa “kultura” nating ito. Tandaan ninyo ito mga kasama, kapag nataon na “umuwi” ako sa atin diyan sa Pilipinas…makikita ninyo ako sa “news”, tiyak na “nakaposas” ako, at siguro pinapalukol ng batuta…dahil oras natapat na nasa airport din si gloria…sisigawan ko talaga ang impaktang yan…makabawi man lang ako sa “nasira” ko nang TV…hehehe. Okey lang, wala naman “bitay” na sa atin eh. 😉

    The reality is…until now, the opposition is still disunited. Gloria’s puppets in Congress are now laughing. If you ask my honest opinion, the only solution is another People Power, a Revolution, a Civil War or whatever you want to call it. The bottom line is to kick out this Gloria!

  26. Spartan:

    One thing I don’t do is listen to people who have not even tried to do anything at all but dada and gatong. I have learned a lot of lessons in fact to ignore these provocateurs, and just rely on instinct coupled with faith in God to see satisfactory results of even just this kind of effort of writing to Congressmen who may not even know where he should stand or what to do.

    You don’t actually know what you can do to influence others especially when you know what you are talking about not really because you carry th fact but because of inspiration from above and even perhaps your own willingness to do what is right, for when you have that, you’ll be surprised at your own strength and power to stand on your own even when you are alone, and then you find yourself being right and on the right path to achieving something especially when you are doing things unselfishly.

    Raffy Biazon was a good example. At the beginning of the advocacy of the OAV Bill, he and his father were rather against it as many thought it was part of the agenda of the Pandak. I hate the same impression at first but found out early that it was no project of the Pandak, who was in fact waiting and see how she could kill the bill if it would prove detrimental to her ambition or support if it would help her achieve her dream of an enchanted kingdom with her as queen that I saw was what she was aiming for the first time I heard of the attempt to tamper records at the National Archives to prove her blood relation with the Tagalog Chieftain, Lakan Dula.

    One thing good with the young Biazon was his willingness to learn, and eventually, he was convinced that the movement was genuinely for the sake of the OFWs (defined as “Overseas Filipinos Worldwide” to include non-working overseas Filipinos), and not for any ambitious wannabe president or king or queen. He became one of the group’s ardent supporters as a matter of fact.

    This is the reason why it is imperative that you try to write to the representative of the area where you are registered. Who knows but your letter may be a good antidote against any attempt by the Pandak and her minions to undermine this movement to kick her out of not just the palace by the murky river but out of Philippine politics for life, and not just her but also members of her clan, cronies, and friends.

  27. Ellen:

    Thanks for the above form. I’ll make copies and pass it on to Filipinos who will attend our rally on the 20th. We are going to have a picket, a street sign-campaign and a forum. We expect to have more than a hundred people attending the forum as a matter of fact.

  28. So what if the Malacanang tongressmen will junk the impeachment? We already know that. The point is what are you going to do about it?

    I know a lot of the people in the B&W movement, and I know that they know what they are talking about. If they say, we should write to the Congressmen, even the Tongressmen, I know there is wisdom in doing just that. There is no harm in trying to see how many of the people there are still on the side of the people, and not the squatters at the palace by the murky river they support only because of the bribes they get that come mainly from the national treasury.

  29. npongco npongco

    Writing to congressmen is a noble thing, a good idea. But, I don’t think people should be pressured into doing it if they think it’s useless. May I remind everyone that if it works in the US and other countries, it doesn’t necessarily mean it would work in the Philppines. In the US, congressmen and senators do pay attention and give you the respect. In the Philippines, your letter may only reach the staff and you’re lucky if the staff hands your letter to his boss. If you’re a VIP or someone who represents a group, you may have a chance to be heard. I’m not being skeptical but that’s how the minds of our politicians work and they way their office operates. Anyway, nothing to lose if we try.

  30. Spartan Spartan

    “Manang” Yuko…I was not “generalizing” when I said “pulos tayo ngakngak”…as what I have read in here, I know that some of you have already been doing “actual moves” to try and “let others” learn of this “regime’s” rotteness. But, I was pertaining to myself and “maybe” mostly here that “have not yet” done anything but “give our spicy comments” about gloria, and feeling “frustrated” by OUR “seemingly” continued “crippleness” in having the “TRUTH” comeout, so that JUSTICE for the Motherland and her people who had been “RAPED and ABUSED” by gloria and her group is finally obtained. But I would still “stand” on my “personal” opinion that writing this CORRUPT CONGRESSMAN would not make them even “blink an eye” in doing what their “master” wants them to do…that of “killing” this 2nd Impeachment. They would not dare “open a can of worms”. It is already August 2006, with all these “zarzuelas” of a “Preliminary Impeachment Proceedings” that WOULD CERTAINLY (dahil WALANG HIMALA!) GO NOWHERE, plus the “attention getting” Israel-Lebanon Conflict that involves our kababayans, plus the Mt. Mayon, and other incidents that gloria could make as “divertions” on the majority of our people’s attention, it would be CHRISTMAS SEASON ones again, which means December, that means it’s the END of another year, and the start of another year, which would be 2007, which would be the year that another ELECTION under THE SAME comelec will be “filmed” by gloria and her “filmcrews”…the days, the weeks, the months, and the years will go on, that gloria by the “great design” of her “braintrust” would be able to BUY TIME until for all we know…she would already be “also” in POWER for 20 years, like Ferdinand Edralin Marcos…that’s why I hope some of you here would not be “antagonized” if some of us here are starting to “itch” for a FASTER SOLUTION, that of “going to the streets”.

Kung me sandwich o itlog pa akong hawak, ibabalibag ko sa kanila. Yan ang wala diyan sa atin, dapat balibagin ng “basura” ang motorcade niyang si gloria o ng mga “alipores” niya.

    I agree with you N.Pongco. Pressure game is useless in the Philippines. As I said: “The Die Is Cast”. Lutong Makaw! I think it’s more effective if we are writing the White House, Capitol Hill and U.S. Senators to stop military and economic aid to the Philippines. Gloria Arroyo badly needs American aid to boost her bankrupt regime. Philippine congressmen are out of touch on the real sentiments of the people. We can describe them as ass holes, balasubas, kapal muks, tulisan and manhid. They are more interested in kickbacks and protect their own interests. A credible political or military leader may lead civil disobedience. I will support tax boycott and other nonviolent action leading to the ouster of Gloria Arroyo. What happened to Marine Capt. Faeldon’s civil disobedience movement?

  38. Soleil:

    I share your sentiments. Okay din ang sinasabi ni Spartan but I have seen miracles, kaya bakit ako makikinig doon sa mga bakla na sinasabing walang magagawa para ipabagsak si Pandak?

    Pag nakinig ang mga pilipino sa mga iyan ay talagang walang magagawa. Pero ang sabi nga, “…God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ” (1 Cor 1:27) kaya alam kong hindi sayang ang mga ginagawa ng mga Opposition who are at an advantage not showing that they are in fact UNITED even by the common desire to have the Pandak removed together with all these people who now surround her. Hindi naman kailangan na palaging magkakasama ang mga galit kay Pandak dahil may kani-kaniya silang idea.

    In fact, maganda nga ang ginawa nilang iba’t iba ang kanilang dahilan (kuno) pero iisa lang ang layunin—ang matanggal si Pandak! If that is not being united, what is?

    I won’t allow the Internet Brigade of the Pandak to influence anyone here wanting to have the Pandak removed. They are saying this no doubt to discourage the growing sentiment among Filipinos now to RECONCILE and UNITE against the Pandak. Pero wais ang mga ito. Kapag napatumba si Pandak, sasabihin nila sila ang nagpatumba sa kaniya kasi anti-GMA sila! Oh yeah?

    To say that Filipinos cannot do anything is like telling you and me that we are crazy to be blogging here, and that we are wasting our time trying hard to influence others to go out there and protest even at the peril of our lives.

    Putaragis ginagawa pa tayong mga gunggong nitong mga Internet Brigaders ni Pandak. Psycho-war kuno. Yup, psycho war ng mga psycho VS sa hindi psycho!!!

    Takot na takot sila sa mga katulad kong hindi uurong kaya marami sa mga bloggers dito in fact are having difficulty blogging in kaya akala mo nga wala nang matapang na natitira kundi iilan-ilan na lang. Kapansin-pansin kasi na iyong akala nilang hindi dangerous, hindi nila pinapainan ng kung anong clip diyan para hindi maka-blog. Kakatawa nga kasi pati may-ari ng blog na ito minsan hindi makapasok sa sarili niyang blog!!! Kaya halata mong monitored ang blog na ito. Kakatawa pa kapag kino-guote pa nila ang nga bloggers dito kaya halata mong binabasa ang mga sinusulat dito lalo na iyong mga pinipili nila para hindi maka-blog!!!

    Manduduro lang ang mga ito sa totoo lang. Wala rin namang ibubuga ang mga iyan kundi pa sila magnakaw at magsinungaling! Kaya nga tama ang sabi, “stick to your guns” para hindi ka kayang lituhin.

    Soleil, OK lang na i-quote mo ang sinabi ko. I felt compelled to write those words as a matter of fact. Baka makatuos ng puso ng mga tapat! It did undoubtedly.

    Sa mga nasa Manila, ingat lang kayo. BTW, did you hear that Bush might declare Martial Law daw in case the Republicans lose in the election next year! Gosh, is this the sign people the world over dread about?

    Signs of the times—unrighteous leaders everywhere! “And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring, O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” (Matt. 16: 3).

    [that of the impeachment] in case her minions and legions do their assignments……]

    but she WILL NEVER WIN THIS WAR.

    Mali ka, dear friend, EDSA 1 and 2, plano na iyan. Iyong EDSA 1 timing lang at kinailangan ang katulad ni Ninoy na isinakripisyo na pumayag naman siya dahil may taning na yata ang buhay niya, at saka sawa na rin ang mga tao kay Macoy, pero iyong EDSA 2 plano na iyong 1 year before pa. Marami ang nahikayat na paalisin si Erap kasi ayaw nilang madaig ng isang walang degree, at saka marami nang nagsasamantala kay Erap at that time.

    Inamin naman iyan ni Fatso na binalak nilang patalsikin si Erap mula pa noon Jan. 2000, at kapuna-puna in fact, ang original operasyon ng pagsira kay Erap sa San Francisco mismo. Inamin din iyan ni Pandak at ni Art Panganiban! Tuwang-tuwa pa nga silang ipinagmalaki iyon dahil akala nila nabilog na nila ang laht ng mga pilipino. Worse ay nang sabihin ni Art Panganiban na they were playing god!

    Dahil diyan, maghintay ka kung papaano wawasakin ng nasa itaas itong bugaw na Pandak kasi sa totoo lang ang daming winasak na mga musmos ang walanghiyang iyan na ibinugaw nila sa Japan at ngayon ay ibinubugaw sa South Korea na mas masahol pa sa ginawang pagbubugaw sa mga Japayuki noon sa Japan. Huwag kang magtaka kapag dumami ang mga may sakit ng STD balang araw.

    BTW, Ellen, puede bang ipakuha ang kopya ng impeachment claim ng B&W na tinanggap para mapag-aralan nating mabuti. Tapos kaniya-kaniyang hagod sa likod sa mga Congressman na representative kung saan man nanggaling ang mga bloggers dito. Iyong iba diyan sa totoo lang ay hindi lang alam kung may susuporta sa kanila kapag kinalaban nila si Pandak. Iyong mga sulat ng mga bloggers dito na galit kay Pandak ang makakapagbigay lakas loob sa kanila maliban na lang doon sa mga hindi na yata tinatalaban ng hiya katulad ni Nograles, Pichay, et al.

  41. Mali yata ang attitude na kung sa tingin mo di mangyayari, huwag na lang gawin.

    Parang isang lalaki na gustong manligaw, pero sa tingin niya ay di siya sasagutin. Kung manligaw meron pag-asa kahit maliit. Kung hindi, siguradong wala!

    Kaya lahat tayo, sulat na! How much hassle is it anyway? Kahit walang mangyari, okay lang. Kung meron eh di masaya, di ba?

    According to Inquirer, “Philippines to help Myanmar on path of democracy — Romulo ” Wow, akala mo tunay! Kung sa Pilipinas nga hindi nila maipalakad ng mahusay ang sinasabi nilang democracy at maayos ang problema nila lalo na ang tungkol sa pagpatay ng mga human rightists, critics ni Pandak, et al, tapos makikialam pa sa problema ng isa pang naghihikahos ding bansa at isa pang Junta government tulad ng SLORC sa Burma.

    Baka magbibigay pa iyan ng abuloy sa Burma para pasikat gaya ng pagpapasikat ni Dadong Macapagal noong araw sa gitna nang kagipitan ng Pilipinas. Nag-abuloy ng pera sa Madagascar noong araw kahit na nagugutom ang mga pilipino. Kaya pagdating ng botohan, sigaw ng bayan noon, “Dadong, Alis Diyan!”

    Tarantado din ano? Baka duraan lang si Romulo ng mga Burmese! Pwe! 😡

    Diego, I appreciate the fact that you’re the very few who share my sentiment. While I salute those who organize and come out with laudable projects like Ninoy campaign and writing to our Congressmen, I can’t help but be skeptical. I’m more on the side of reality than false hope.

  44. Npongco, nobody is pressuring anybody. I perfectly undestand if you feel writing congressmen is a useless exercise.

    The form is for those who would like to write their congressma/woman to let them know of their sentiments. At least ready na ang form.

  45. MLQ, you bet, we will. At least, we have a pretty good number of signatories over here. We are asking them to just sign the form and send them to their favorite Congressmen.

    The people over in the Philippines should be told to do the same likewise. Ang problem lang sa probinsiya, I understand is that they are being tagged as commies and shot on the spot.

    Over in this country, it is called a crime.

    I surely love the Malaya editorial today. I’m cutting and pasting it in all the egroups I own, moderate and a member in where the editor calls everybody in the Pandak government a potential criminal and lawbreaker. Kung matitino ang mga pilipino, hindi sila kakampi sa criminal, which Pandak is as a matter of fact.

    I salute Manolo Quezon, grandson of the late President Manuel Quezon. It’s time to run for public office. You may start in Congress all the way up to the Senate and then higher office later. You’re still young and talented. Most of all, your love for the country will carry you throughout your political career if you choose to take this route to helping the country. You have our support!

  47. soleil soleil

    Manolo Quezon is a one of a few good men who can really have a voice for the REAL truth!…as npongco mentioned, young and talented!!! hindi puro pa-photo-ops ala mighty myak…halatang halata mo na pagka na-e-interview ay may minemorize..ingat na ingat na mawala sa flow ang memorized lines.

  48. npongco npongco

    Manolo’s style is similar to Chiz Escudero. Manolo not only carries his grandpa’s good name; but he has the “it” and “K” to become an effective leader someday. By the way, I notice that the entire message of one of my above posts was deleted. I seldom write such a short message like “I got it Ms. Ellen”. Am I writing too long? I’m sure mine is shorter compared to some of our friends here.

  49. Soleil:

    Ang sabi nga ang tae kahit na anong lagay mo ng pabango ay mabaho pa rin. Ganyan si Pandak.

    Sabi nga ng biyenan ko noon sa akin, ang magnanakaw daw ay pihadong may mga nunong magnanakaw din. Talk of heredity. Di ba itong si Pandak ay apo noong traydor na si Lazaro Macapagal, originally from Macabebe na kilalang-kilalang mga lahing traydor at ulupong kaya nga binansagang “mga dugong aso”?

  50. Npongco, I deleted those parts which I think would provoke another round of exchanges on personal suspicions, motives of fellow bloggers.

    Isang taon na ang nakakalipas nang mag-set si Senator Pimentel ng deadline for GMA to resign!

     
    Kitang kita talaga ang sabwatan ng mayayaman, elitista, makapangyarihan, simbahan pati na ang militar para supilin ang kagustuhan ng nakararaming mamamayan!
    Kitang-kita sa kasaysayan ang mga pwersang lumapastangan sa kagustuhan ng maraming Pilipino noong 1998 at 2004!

    Kailan ba nanaig ang hustisya para sa mga nakararaming sambayanan laban sa mga pwersang binanggit ko sa itaas?

     

    onli inda pilipins!

    ..i dont think all mayayayaman are kiss@$$ to the bruha naman, they are sigurista maybe and balimbing but this is natural for survival as they say…like Boncodin…ke balimbing sya or hindi, alam natin na dati siyang kapit sa palasyo,then tumiwalag, now..s’posed to be under the “influence again”…but who knows when the tide turns…baka pati si Jo-Dopey-nesia ay magka-amnesia or alzheimers and bigla di kilala si bruha if ever there will be the same scenario when the angry mob ransaked the palace during PeoplePower 1.
    We just pray that our brothers will be more mature if ever there will be this mass action. I will be in the airport immediately with my dgcam to see who will be the first to bolt out and seek asylum (sure they will escape frm the people they have cheated all this time)…
    cant wait for Manolo Quezon’s regular talk show to air on ANC!!!

  53. This strategy is quite effective abroad, especially via e-mail.

    Let’s spread the word about it. This could be a good advantage since elections are coming next year, it’s time to turn the tables on the politicians and use our votes in exchange for their signature to the impeachment complaint.

  54. npongco npongco

    Thanks Ms. Ellen for explaining. I was only surprised why you only posted one sentence. I hope the same rule is applied to the others. My comments were as a result of the provocative statements by another; yet she’s always as free as a bird. Anyway, let’s go back to the issues. I don’t mind being shortchanged. Nothing is fair in this world. There’s no perfect justice. These are the things we get from this Arroyo government that somehow carry up to discussion groups.

    Dapat din may sulat tayo sa mga senador. Kapag English, ipadala kay Senator Lito Lapid. Kapag Tagalog, ipadala naman kay Miriam Santiago na dalubhasa sa Tagalog.

    artsee:

    papaano kung overseas Pinoy ang susulat sa mga mambabatas?
    dapat magkaroon din ng sariling boses ang mga pinoy na nasa abroad?

  57. npongco npongco

    I have another idea: Instead of writing to our congressmen, why not ask them to write us? Let’s promise we will respond.
