Tinatanggap ko ang hiling ng sambayanan.
Tinatanggap ko rin po ang tagubilin ng aking mga magulang.
Tinatanggap ko ang responsibilidad na ituloy ang laban para sa bayan.
Tinatanggap ko ang hamon na mamuno sa laban na ito.
Bayang Pilipinas, tatakbo ako sa pagka-pangulo sa darating na halalan.
Tutuloy po natin ang laban. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
With those words, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, declared his presidential bid for the 2010 elections in an morning press conference on the 40th day of the passing of his mother, President Corazon Aquino, at Club Filipino, the same venue where she took her historic oath on Feb. 25, 1986 after the ouster of President Ferdinand Marcos.
Aquino praised Sen. Mar Roxas, who gave up his presidential plans , for him. He said he offered the vice presidential slot to Roxas, who has yet to decide.
In a casual, non-bombastic speech, he related stories of his encounter with people on the streets that made him decide to accept the challenge.
Nonoy related his encounter with a Customs official, who expressed happiness when he said he would run. Asked why, the official said, “Kasi pwede na ako ulit mangarap.”
Wearing black with the yellow ribbon pin, he was surrounded by his sisters, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel and Kris and yellow-clad supporters, mostly belonging to what media calls “civil society.”
On the issue of corruption asked by a reporter, he said he will fight it by example. He said we have enough laws against corruption and it’s a matter of implementing it.
He made special mention of the case of fellow senator, Antonio Trillanes IV, who is currently in detention after he and his fellow officers and soldiers exposed corruption in the military in the Arroyo administration. he said he did not believe that Trillanes is guilty of a crime of coup d’etat that he is accused of.
Sen. Rodolfo Biazon started the piso-piso fund campaign for Noynoy.
Noynoy reminded everybody to make sure that every contribution is listed because they would have to submit that to the Commission on Elections. There was laughter, the audience probably relating it to the case of Mikey Arroyo who did not declare with the Comelec he received in the 2004 and 2007 campaign contributions.

Dang! Would have wanted to hear him first present his platform/agenda, argue issues and defend his position. Riding on the Aquino name is a good gimmick but dang, same thing all over again… ayayayayayay!
Ayan, the civil society has all the reasons to have an “orgasmic experience”.
Oh my, no forward step for Juan!
And guess what? The Arroyos will be so happy with Aquino’s declaration; civil society will be so exhilirated over the Aquino candidacy, having orgasm after orgasm which should give crooked brat Mikey a reprieve from press attacks.
It’s imperative not to get drowned out by this latest election excitement. Pinoys must focus! Shoot the enemy first, eg., Arroyo, and then see where we are at with 2010 elections.
Just my humble thought on the matter!
“Pwede na tayo ulit mangarap,”
Nang ano?
Chi!
Heheheh!
Nonoy Aquino excites women in Civil Society kasi — even the nuns! He makes them come, wait, not finished yet… “come alive!” Hihihh!
Hahaha! Naughty you.
Ellen,
I’m so dismayed! The same old way… Riding on another oligarchic name!
There was no debate, no public discussion, no nothing — just the same name recall tactic. Might as well re-elect Erap kung ganyan ng ganyan paulit ulit… Just because one has the name, sige ng sige.
Filipinos will never be democratically mature because they prefer to stay backward.
When he starts to talk and answer the issues then the people will make up their minds. Maybe he is a late bloomer, for all we know. At least he is principled daw. That is a good start. Super naman ang ginawa nilang pa-suspense!
Sino pa kaya ang susunod na mag-dedeclare ng presidential ambitions niya. Ramos and de Venicia are breaking away from the boobuwit. Sino naman kaya ang magiging manok nila. Hindi na lang minority president yung mananalo kundi yung nanalo ng 10% of the vote! The 90% of the people will be working on removing whoever wins for the next 6 years. Kawawang bansa talaga.
PSB,
I have nothing against Aquino ersonally; I don’t know him from Adam; all I know is that he’s been as quiet as a mouse in Congress. Late bloomer? When will he bloom? When he’s 75? Good or bad? Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
I’m sure he is more principled than Arroyo can ever be but that’s not my point. What I’m dismayed about is the selection process. The Civil Society’s control over what should have been a democratic process, na-short-changed na naman ang mga Pinoy.
Ni hindi man lang natanong kung ano ang platform niya. Sige na lang kasi may pangalan.
Time to bury that kind of practice, don’t you think? After all, we are already in the 21st century. We gotta be a bit mature.
Anna, I heard Noynoy being interviewed one on one in several talk shows. Tama ka maybe mas may ibubuga si Erap sa totoo lang. Kris is the one making decisions for Noynoy plus the other sisters( yung tunay na kapatid at yung mga madre…heh,heh,heh). Tuwang tuwa ang mga civil society at napagbigyan yung mga dalangin nila. Whether their manok holds up is another thing. Sabagay in a country where 70% of the people barely gets three meals a day, kahit sino na lang pwede na.
No excitement waiting for the presidentiables declare their intent to ‘serve’ the public. Declare lang kasi ng declare, wala pa akong naririnig na plataporma! How many are they kaya eventually?
Noynoy is also another elite. I do not know why they say he represents the “masa”.
The site of the Evil Society makes me puke! Andun sila lahat, lahat sa Club at nagkaroon ng bagong buhay. Sinakyan nila ang pagkamatay ni Cory para sa pulitika.
Paano ang kasalanan ninyo noong Edsa Dos? Diba kayo ang nagpatalsik sa halal na Pangulo at nagluklok sa pekeng Pangulo?
Ang iboboto ko ay ang tunay na oposisyon! Hindi si Noynoy, hindi si Villar at iba pang nagpapanggap na nasa oposisyon.
Pare-pareho lang kayong mga oportunista.
Why should more than 90 million Filipinos allow themselves to be led by the nose by one lil elitist group that doesn’t even total a few hundred?
Suddenly, coming from nowhere, this group says, “Ok guys, here’s your candidate, we have anointed him for you! Vote for him because he’s got pedigree, his Mom is a saint and because Gloria is bad…”
Puwede ba yon sa isang mature democracy? This is my point.
I really would like to see a one-on-one race between Noynoy and Erap. It’s just impossible due to a lot of wannabes.
time to fervently pray.
Noynoy is known for his honesty and simplicity. After all the sophisticated economic savy of Gloria for her own/ family interests, this now what the country needs—a moral leadership. I recall nuon (during Cory’s time), we were clamoring for an economically savvy leader, di ba? Let’s just get all our positive thoughts together and pray for balanced and wise leadership.
Chi,
The least evil, if one can say that in my list of presidential wannabes, would’ve been Roxas. I’ve been reading about him a lot lately and it seems he’s a bit better than most. They should have interviewed the two, Aquino and Roxas (both are Civil Society mascots anyway) and see who would fare better.
Isa pa, he’s the only one who ever said “Putangina” kay Gloria and that to me at least, is already a step in the right direction.
Swerte lang nila at ang media full-support sa yellow army, obviously nagbabayad ng utang na loob kay Cory, lalo na ang ABS-CBN, parang telenovela ang coverage kay Noynoy.
Hindi niyo na malilinlang ang taumbayan. Nagkamali na kayo noong 2001, at hindi papayag ang masa na muli silang maloko.
Kung magsalita ang civil society para bang sila lang ang matalino, may alam, at may pagmamahal ng taumbayan. Yuck!!!
Still a big NO for Noynoy for me!
“time to fervently pray.”
The nuns are already doing that… that’s theire expertise. I’m sure they have a direct line to St Peter.
Don’t forget, Gloria is praying as well!
Time to move and kick ass is what I say!
I have no qualms about Noynoy but just really disappointed with the manner LP chose the party’s bet, no selection process.
Ako din Chi! Difficult to say anything bad about him — he’s been so quiet all these years, one would have thought he was the one that died!
What I abhor is the same name recall process of selecting a presidential standard bearer, forcing others who, perhaps, are also as bad or as good, to back down/to yield on the mere say so of a group!
Para sa mga Civil Society kasi, Aquino is the sexiest thing that hit them after Arnold Schwarzenager!
Icon of the civil society kasi ang mga Aquino
Anna,
Roxas was my choice but won’t be disappointed with Noynoy as LP’s bet if only the two were subjected to a fair process.
Trapol na tradpol ang ginawa ng LP.
“…he’s been so quiet all these years, one would have thought he was the one that died!”
Ikaw talaga, Anna. Hahahaha! Having a good laugh!
Mbw, a leader is suppposed to have morals but a capability too as well. Decisions have to be made in split seconds hindi isang linggo. Magkukunsulta muna sa civil society at sa pink sisters and finally kay Kris. I do not think Noynoy is a born leader. But hey, we elected Lapid to the senate di ba? We also elected Erap. You know what I mean. Fad si Aquino ngayon. Siya ang saviuor natin. Kapag nanalo siya, yung 90% na hindi bumoto sa kanya eh araw araw siyang pagwewelgahan dahil sa mali maling desisyon. Watch it! It will come. The civil society will oust him anew because of inability to stop corruption. Yung ngang isang bill lang niya na isinusulong eh hindi niya naisulong dahil yung involved eh isang big fish. Now you want him to lead the country? There are so many big fishes to catch. Kung hindi niya nakayanan yung isang big fish, how will he be able to lead the country? If he had a proven track record in the senate man lang sana, then I would believe he can lead. Yung kontin palaban man lang. Kaso parang wala man lang siya sa senado sa totoo lang.
Good for him.
What can I say but, asuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus! Talaga na yatang wala nang pag-asa ang Pilipinas unless lumabas iyong mga nakakulong sa Tanay!
Yup, what’s this Aquino has for a platform? Kagustuhan daw ng sambayanan? I doubt!
Ipagpapatuloy daw ang adhikain ng nanay niya? Which one? Iyong patalsikin ang mga Arroyo from Malacanang? Oh yeah? Kailan? Mismong tiya niya nga ang kabuntot noong animal sa totoo lang.
My impression—wala rin iyang yagbols! Palusot pa iyong nanay niya na tinuruan daw silang huwag mambastos. But did he need to be lovey-dovey to the creep? Sa totoo lang dapat di niya binigyan ng respeto dahil kriminal as prescribed by the law! 😛
I’m not impressed. I just feel sorrow and sympathy for the Philippines and the Filipino people. Another round of pahirap pihado!
Kawawang bansa sa totoo lang!
Correction: A leader is supposed to have not just morals but a cabability to lead as well.
Noynoy finally declared his candidacy. Everybody knows that Roxas withdrew because he told him that he will run, bakit nagpakipot pa kesyo mag-re retreat muna, magconsult muna bago magdecide? Did he really think the people were so dumb to not see this as a political gimmick? Hindi pa man nanloloko at namumulitika na.
So after talking to God in his retreat, Noynoy may now claim to be anointed and assume the role of a modern day Moses who will lead the Filipinos from their sufferings, poverty and injustices into the Promised Land, the land of flowing milk and honey. But just like in that particular episode Moses failed his people who are left to wander. He failed because God failed him. Maybe because he cannot control his people; in short it’s a question of his leadership.
And Noynoy, what is his brand of leadership? In all his political life he was never been a leader but always a follower. He was also a Gloria ally and like Cory and her evil society they are instrumental in ousting a duly elected president and handed power to the monster of Philippine politics. What does he have to offer then? The revival and awakening of the Kamag-anak Inc? Because he is a perceived softie he will just be used and manipulated. He will be no different from Gloria and company.
Noynoy is pre-mature for the picking. Kinakarboro siya para mapilit na mahinog. In these extraordinary times in Philippine history, the country needs a strong and decisive leader to if necessary overhaul the entire government bureaucracy and machinery that was wrecked by the evil family of Arroyo. Noynoy seems to be so weak and indecisive; it’s just like putting a square peg into a round hole. It doesn’t fit. It doesn’t help that he is an Aquino. It doesn’t help either that he is the anointed one of the evil society, nuns, bishops, priest and the yellow society.
Yes, because the reality is he doesn’t have what it takes to navigate the country out of the woods in these troubled times.
Huwag iboto ang mandarambong ng Bayan….!!!
Huwag sa mga Babaero…!!!
Parang hinog sa pilit si Nonoy Aquino. Kung manok pansabong eh mahina pa ang mga tuhod. Wala bang convention para sa selection process? Tayo-tayo system pa rin ang umi-iral.
What is Noynoy going to do with his uncle Peping and Aunt Tingting who are still aligned with Gloria Arroyo?
And also Aunt Lupita and Tessie Oreta and uncle Paul.
Ang sarap ng buhay ng mga oportunista na yan.
Nonoy will revive Kamag-Anak II Inc. Hawak nila ang kanyang leeg.
I like this, Florry. Tamang-tamang description kay Noynoy. Imagine kung manalo iyan, pag umalembong na naman iyong kapatid baka sabihin, “Me, the daughter of a hero and a former president and sister of the incumbent…” That will be the day—baka wasakin na ng Diyos ang Pilipinas pag nagkataon!
Marami pang dapat i-prove si Noynoy para maging karapat-dapat sa totoo lang. Labas niya, walang pinag-iba sa panahon ngayon.
Kawawang Pilipinas! Mabuburo na lang yata!
Maybe Noynoy believes that his secret weapon to win the presidency is the prayers of his supporters, especially the nuns, bishops and priests. There is a power of prayer but God doesn’t take sides in a political battle. That’s how fair He is. God gives us once in awhile a gentle nudge, but they do not lead us down the road to our destiny. It’s us who have to write our own.
In my opinion, Mar should have been the LP standard bearer. Capability and integrity, he has. Noynoy has the integrity but his capability is doubtful. But again water under the bridge na.
As for Noynoy being elite and therefore not masa, this is true. He is not masa but he could also be for the masa. Erap was elite but he was for the masa. Cory was elite but she was loved by the masa.
So I guess time will tell. He just might surprise people by growing into the job. But I agree that he should not mention consulting with his sisters too much.
But hey, these are minor matters. What’s important for me now is that there is now an honest man as an alternative to all the other presidentiables. An honest man has the moral force to prevent or at least minimize graft and corruption. And as 40% of our budget is wasted on corruption, a moral leader can do much.
I just hope Noynoy steps up to what is expected of him. That’s all I can do at the moment. And if he does not, well, remind him to shape up.
Anyway, with him and Mar as a tandem, I am hopeful.
An honest man alone can not solve our problems. We might as well elect Fr Panlilio. At least meron na siyang napagdaanang pagka-gobernador. Si Noynoy, yun ngang legistlative work hindi pa siya magaling, ngayon gusto ng maging presidente. Mukhang hindi makapatay ng lamok ang isang ito!
Phil, if after nine years of legislative work, he failed to pass bills into law eh di lalo ng hindi niya kakayanin ang maging presidente!
Yung ngang speech niya binabasa pa niya. Bulol bulol pa.
At this point in time I have simplified my dreams.
All I want is to be able to wake up each day and carry on with my daily activities in tranquility and peace of mind with my blood pressure normal.
I dream of not being greeted by news each evening and morning of multi-billion peso scams, of secret sweetheart deals, of buying off legislators and judges, including bishops.. I also dream of never seeing another Malacanang spokesman daily assaulting the nation with their arrogance, lies and spins.
I also dream of our people going about their business of living life in pursuit of their dreams and visions for themselves and their children in an atmosphere of peace and joy.
At the end of each day I want to be able to just curl up with a book or watch National Geographic Channel and be able to say
“Ahh..the country is in good hands. This is the life.”
Pati nga yung pananamit niya eh si Kris pa raw ang mag-mamake over. Pati yung kasal niya si Kris pa ang magbabayad. Heh,heh,heh… hindi pa man eh si Kris na ang manager ni Noynoy. Bakit hindi na lang si Kris ang tatakbo. Mas mukhang may balls si Kris.
Di parang robot ang labas niya. Extreme make-over (physical appearance) is not enough to convince intelligent voters for their vote and support. Maspabor kay Gloria Arroyo ang *weakling president* para sa compromise deal o hinay-hinay na investigasyon sa sangkatutak na anomalya ng kanyang rehimen.
Sinabi mo pa Diego.
Parasabayan, as I said Noynoy was not my preferred Presidentiable. I preferred Mar. But since Mar gave way to him, then it’s water under the bridge. It’s now up to the LP to finally choose and proclaim their standard bearer. It’s not yet final. But I’m a bit comfortable with Noynoy at this point in time.
I certainly have considered other presidentiables. And the biggest question in my mind is “Whom can I trust?”
For me personally it has become a simple question of “trust”. The capability comes next. Capability and expertise can be shored up and learned with good honest capable men around you.
Noynoy’s capability will first be tested (should he become President) by his choice of men and women to assist him do his job. I would like to see him choose people with the capabilities and expertise which he lacks. This is basically how you initially detect a good leader, a good manager..his ability to recruit and select capable and trustworthy people to run his various departments for him.
The Chief Executive primarily provides the morale compass, the vision and the values he holds dear and corrects behavior that goes against his guidelines.
In my work life, I have always held the view that given a limited choice, a moderately intelligent but honest employee is better than a dishonest genius.
I may respect Ninoy for his character but I do not see him as a leader at a time when our country is at the bottom in Asia. We need someone who has a vision, a will to make changes, someone who can fight the big fishes and stop corruption.
In his speech today, yun daw mga libro ng mga bata ang priority niya at allocation of funds. Instead of saying he will stir the country to a more progressive and corrupt free country, yung libro ang una sa kanyang agenda. Pwede siguro siyang maging Deped head at head ng NEDA but not a president.
I guess it’s always a limited choice when we talk about who would be the best candidate to run for President.
There are thousands out there (the private sector included)who are better qualified than those presently in the list but these people prefer not to join the race.
So we are left with a rather short list. And in that short list, you are left with only a few good men. Sometimes not even one. But in this present list, I’m comfortable with one or two. They’re certainly not perfect, but who is?
Let us not forget that two of the biggest crooks in our nation’s history were said to be the smartest and the most prepared. One was an outstanding lawyer. The other an economics professor.
Speaks volumes of putting ability and preparedness as the primary criteria.
@AdeBrux : “What I’m dismayed about is the selection process. The Civil Society’s control over what should have been a democratic process, na-short-changed na naman ang mga Pinoy.”
That’s the elite’s style of choosing or disregarding a leader. They may call themselves elite but they have the mentality of “mob rule”. They did it in EDSA !, EDSA 2, and now they’re doing it again.
For me, Character is a must, Ability and Preparedness is a want.
ang laki ng population ng pinas pero di ko maintindihan kung bakit sila sila na lang ang tumatakbo. Dating presidente,Dating anak ng presidente (Gloria) ngayon naman si NoyNoy…if we want change dapat iba naman. Mahihirapan si Noynoy mabigat ang kalaban niya. I remember Erap 1992 tumakbong presidente at very popular pero atras at nag VP dahil kulang sa pera…at isa pa baka masira lang ang pagkakaibigan ni Kris at Boy Abunda (Villar yan!).
Makikita na naman natin ang mga tunay na magkaibigan…PERA o FRIENDSHIP…sa bagay sa atin naman PERA muna tutal konting sorry lang FRIEND ULIT TAYO.
Anyway, will see sa mga survey kung talagang ma sustain ni Noynoy ang suporta sa kanya.
noynoy should pck BGen.Lim as his vice .best bet,i believe.
Kung wala si Noynoy or Mar, Erap sana ako. Ang rason ko ay dahil hindi siguro papayag si Noynoy na madungisan ang mga pangalan ng kanyang mga magulang.
girls,
I will not be a spoiler to what may be their (See-Evil Society’s) moment of ecstasy. But let me point out two realities that now stare Noynoy (and all his “pushers”) in the face:
1. There is a strong possibility that the 2010 contest will be a one-on-one match between two Cojuangco cousins – Noynoy and Gibo. Oh, they forgot about that.
2. His call for unity of the party may bring the prodigals in LP’s Atienza wing back to the fold. They were one of the first to advance the idea of a Noynoy candidacy I can smell fish from a mile away. I am suspicious of Atienza’s intentions moreso when it was echoed by known Arroyo lapdogs like Alex Magno, et al. Is Noynoy considered a soft target because his “strong Catholic values” that may include the forgiveness of past sins in favor of unity – whoever’s sins that may be? Will Atienza et al use their newfound party clout, if ever, to demand for laxity in future cases?
Mar Roxas is more qualified to run as President than this Noynoy. Just look at the accomplishments of Mar in business world compare to Noynoy. Mar graduated at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania which is in the top three business school in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharton_School_of_the_University_of_Pennsylvania
But, what can you expect from Philippine politics selection process? Just look at what occured between Lacson and FPJ? Erap chose FPJ over Lacson even though FPJ is 100% TANGA! Of course, FPJ is still a better choice than pandak’s criminal government.
The bakya crowd is equally to blame for this mess that we are in, they just vote whoever is popular. Another example is Mr. Noted Pangilinan. The bakya crowd voted him as Senator just because he got married with Cuneta.
Lets see the platform…
Have the feeling that it will be the same hash all over again. But maybe im wrong. The Filipino people has a very short memory. He may or may not sustain this tide till election day.
Xman, speaking of Kiko Pangi, romero’s article today for me is so true:
http://www.tribune.net.ph/commentary/20090909com3.html
Here is the last para, of Romero’s commentary:
“Stop being very upset, Korina. We’ll get even with your ingrate friend. For my part, I don’t usually single out a national-office candidate for special attention, but I swear to you that I will campaign hard against Francis Pangilinan when he next runs for a national office. It’s called payback.”
Me too, Mr Romero, will campaign against the Mr Magastar.
Halos lahat ng hinahanap ng ating mga kaibigan sa isang leader ( except moralidad) meron si gloria. Economist, galing sa english o interview, outstanding legislator at public speaker – debater, liderato at influence. O anong nangyari sa Pinas?
i could not see any plattform from this guy except the grave of his parents.
My vote will be a vote against Villar and whoever he takes with him because a vote against Villar et al will be a vote against greed and corruption, and by extension, hopefullt, will be a vote against Gloria and her crooked family getting off the hook.
I would like to know how he will deal with the abuses, the crimes that Gloria committed against the people.
I don’t want to simply hear this crap phrase “Let’s move on!”
I would like to know how he (Aquino) will deal with the abuses, the crimes that Gloria committed against the people.
I don’t want to know what Noynoy’s view on anything at all and for that matter any candidate vying for the presidency.
Whatever they tell us are just are feel good words. In short mga bola. Basta sa presidency anybody but Gloria. We have enough of her and her minions.
Statement of Bangon Pilipinas:
Bangon Pilipinas respects the decision of Senator Noynoy Aquino to run for President in the 2010 elections. His participation in the presidential race ensures Filipinos a wider choice of candidates from which to select our country’s next leader. The essence of democracy and people empowerment is choice, and now is the time for all candidates to present to the people the true nature of their choices by focusing away from personalities and emotions, but more on the alternative future that they can promise our people.
We now strongly call on all presidential candidates in 2010 to build up respective platform of government so we could present them to the public.
Let the people decide whom they want to lead in effectuating genuine change in the country. Let us give democracy a chance.
Let us now collectively join our efforts so that we can have a credible, peaceful, and honest election in 2010.
These are clearly extraordinary times, and 2010, if ever that happens, will not be an ordinary electoral exercise.
Democracy has not matured, nor, will it ever mature because democracy isn’t here.
Most of you may disagree with me, but I see 2010 as a repeat of 1986 where battle lines are drawn not between good and better platforms (which, as we may have learned, are mere promises waiting to be broken once a winner’s hand is raised) but more between honesty and treachery, between good and evil, indeed, between heaven and hell.
I may be so naive for having been swept by the current turn of events leading to the ‘clamor’ for Noynoy to run. But, I believe, these signs are pointing to better directions.
Among those who threw their hats in on the presidential derby early on, it was only Mar Roxas, whom, I thought would present the least evil. Then, Among Ed, for awhile, decided to join the fray. Clearly, then, neither Mar nor Among Ed, better than the rest of the field as they are, did not show any signs of possibly winning in 2010.
With the ‘clamor’ borne of Cory’s passing, and with the eventual acceptance of Noynoy for him to contest the presidency, I believe, we now have an alternative who is, at least, untainted and winnable.
It has been repeated here several times over that Noynoy does not have any track record to back him up. I agree. But I would rather go for an unknown quantity than for anybody who has a track record of wrongdoings- and among the wannabe’s, who does not have any skeletons in the closet?
It has been repeated here several times over that Noynoy had been so quiet during his entire public life. I agree. But, as the cliche goes, silent waters do run deep.
I saw footages of his press conference this morning. In one part, he sounded like laying down his platform. He talked about justice being for everybody and not just for the privileged class, saying that, in these times, it has generaly been ‘just tiis’ for most of us. He also talked about the current state of education under an ‘uneducated’ DepEd, citing the routinary mistakes in textbooks year in and year out. I believe that these two issues, justice and education, are good starting points.
Finally, I think, our issue now is not to look for democratic or political maturity- not yet, at least. Our issue is more of bringing democratic space and political sanity first. I do not expect Noynoy to do that. However, with Noynoy, I am praying that we can all make that happen.
In many ways, I echo Phil Cruz’s sentiment above.
OK, Ka Enchong, your points make sense and most important of all, I like what you said,
“Our issue is more of bringing democratic space and political sanity first. “
Agree. We need to clear the air. Let’s see where the current exercise takes us next.
Tongue,
Who is “Gibo”?
I agree with Phil Cruz… who can I trust is the only criteria left given the choices that we have as presidentiables.. I would have preferred if we have a Lee Kwan Yew or a Mahathir clone in the Philippines, but unfortunately we don’t..
Just finished reading the second memoirs of Lee Kwan Yew this morning and what struck me is a statement in his epilogue chapter in which a truth in governance struck an accord with what is happening in our country. LKY said that at the end of the day, intellectual capability is not the most important trait in governance, but the ability of the leader to convey a message of hope and vision that people will follow, and that the people TRUSTS the leader… Kasi nga raw regardless of the system of government or the PhD background of a leader, if the people do not trust him/her, there is no governance to speak of.
Tama si Phil, even LKY recognized the fact that most of the citizenry just want their basic needs and simple dreams to be addressed — health, housing, and education.. I also dream of the day, like Phil, that I don’t feel depress watching our local news (which I literally stopped watching since 2005 after the Garci incident). Now at least, kaya na ng sikmura, batok, at puso kong manood ulit ng ABS, ANC, at GMA (7 ‘di yung nakaupo sa Malacanang ngayon).
“Aquino vows to go after Marcos wealth”
Bakit Marcos pa din? Bakit hindi yong mga Arroyo? Di ba mas matindi itong huli dahil hindi siya talaga ibinoto ng tao at ang masaklap pa ay pinagnanakawan pa ang Bansa kasama ang kanyang asawa’t mga anak.
Marcos dahil siya ang pinagbibintangang dumedo sa ama nila … hay naku kung yong asawa na nga’t na naging Pangulo ay walang nagawa dito … sa ilang taon ng lumipas .. Marcos pa din ang isyu. Wala na bang katapusan yan ….
Let’s support Noynoy, an ordinary man who will not cheat,lie or steal!
Tedanz, that was my initial reaction when I read inquirer article. Why single out Marcos wealth?
Where do Arroyo corruption and crimes come in?
pinoys are emotional hence this craving immediately after the death of his mother. the opportunist came out of his personality an now want to become president. a guy whose greatest accomplishment so far is being the child of his parents. it will be too much to demand that a kapampangan will run after the arroyos.
AdeBrux,
Nakakainis na nga dahil may PCGG naman na inilagay para habulin sana yong mga yaman ng mga Marcoses at ito ay nabuo nung panahon pa ng Nanay niya pero ano ang mga pinaggagawa nila? Pag may nakuha sila … pinaghahatian, ibinubulsa at winawaldas lang at wala namang napupunta sa kaban ng Bayan. Kita niyo na nga lang kung papano gumastos ng mga taong nasa PCGG ngayon. Tanong “Bakit Marcos pa din?”. Diyan na nga kayo mga Aquino … pa-awa epek ka lang Noynoy.
Erap is still my Guy!!!!!
EQ,
You have questions to Aquino in your blog that should not be waylaid — it is imperative that he address these questions immediately.
1)Boss Danding:How will Noynoy handle the sequestered shares in SMC?
2)Kamag-anak Inc.:How will Noynoy handle the unsolicited advices and expected political meddling from his political clan?
3)Hacienda Luisita:How will he tackle the agrarian reform program and its obvious impact on his clan’s 6,453 sugar estate?
Kung sakali dalawang Co-Juang-co (baliktarin mo man ganun pa rin ang tono) ang lalaban sa pagka-Pangulo. Bakit wala na bang Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini ahhhh basta may Joseph Estrada pa.
Pero itong si Noynoy ang second choice ko … dahil wala ng ibang pagpipilian pa. Yong iba puro bugok na.
Norpil,
a guy whose greatest accomplishment so far is being the child of his parents.
That’s how I see him today. I’ve never been a great fan of his mother, although I appreciated her decency even after she behaved very foolishly in 2001. I was never a fan of his father — and I say this loud and clear, but do recognize that the father had great courage.
Aquino has a few months to come out swinging and jabbing on his own, to prove that he is his own man. I would like to see that he is not the vindictive type like his mother was at the beginning of her presidency, but someone who will be level-headed and determined, someone who will not compromise moral principles for political expediencies.
I will be watching him, and based on how he comports himself within the next few months, I shall decide on whether he is worth my vote or not.
Bakit Marcos pa din? Bakit hindi yong mga Arroyo? Di ba mas matindi itong huli dahil hindi siya talaga ibinoto ng tao at ang masaklap pa ay pinagnanakawan pa ang Bansa kasama ang kanyang asawa’t mga anak.

I heard those words first from my sister after Mar withdrew and threw in the name of Noynoy. And so do I….
Democracy has not matured, nor, will it ever mature because democracy isn’t here.

@Ka Enchong
totoo iyon ang meron lang origarkiya.
Actually, yung comments ni Kris tungkol sa pananamit, hair growth, etc ni Noynoy were just sister’s talk. They don’t bother me, parang pagmamahal sa kapatid na nabubulgar…si Kris yan e. In fact, I find them naively cute.
Also, Noynoy’s talks with his sisters for me is just normal. At least alam ko na ang kinakausap niya ay si Ate Ballsy, his steady hands. Unlike Gloria, ang kinakausap ay si Boboy at si Iggy na ang pinaguusapan palagi ay korapsyon.
With Mar out of the running for the highest post, I’m willing to give Noynoy a chance. Sabi ko nga, wala akong choice dahil siya ang best among the second bests being thrown my way.
And with Mar as VP, OK na rin sa mga panahong ito.
I am for Ninoy as of the moment, but anything can happen up to election time.
Sino ba sa mga kandidato ang may platform, at ano ano ang mga iyon? Kung sino may alam, paki lagay naman dito sa blog para magkaroon ang mga tao ng ‘informed decision’.

On Noynoy Aquino’s candidacy: Where I stand today
A commenter in Ellen Tordesillas’ blog, said:
Tongue, spoiler ka talaga, hehehe!
Anna, Gibo is Gilberto Teodoro, Gloria’s Defense Sec.
Ah, ok, thanks, Chi!
x-man and martina,
Naku, huwag na huwag kukunin ni Noynoy si Noted Kiko Cuneta na VP if Mar rejects his offer. Or ….ayaw ko na rin sa kanya con todo!
Tedanz, Anna…
Dahil baka wala pang kaso na nasa korte si Gloria. Let’s remind Noynoy that Gloria’s ill-gotten wealth is now in the millions of dollars, bilyunes na siguro.
I hate to go back to Tongue’s spoiler….naku!
Chi,
Dahil baka wala pang kaso na nasa korte si Gloria.
Would be good just the same for any candidate, not only Aquino to declare loud and clear that if he/she wins, political criminals of the previous administation, whatever the level will be investigated, prosecuted, in other words,brought to justice.
Tongue & Chi
“Is Noynoy considered a soft target because his “strong Catholic values” that may include the forgiveness of past sins in favor of unity – whoever’s sins that may be?”
Baka nga hindi talaga binanggit na habulin din ang ill-gotten wealth ng mga Arroyo’s dahil malapit sila kay Bishop Villegas na kaibigan din ng mga Arroyo’s. Kapwa pa sila kapampangan. Kaya yong kay Marcos lang ang sinabi. DI KAYA!!!!!! … ibang usapan na yan.
Just to clarify:
“political criminals of the previous administation”
I meant political criminals “outgoing administration”.
Si Kiko nag-play safe na naman siya. Paiya-iyak pa daw na nakipag-reconcile kay Drillon. At nungka, magigimg taga-pagsalita pa yata ng LP. Wa-es talaga itong si Mr. Noted Cubeta.
kaibigang chi…sen. noynoy inalok na campaign spokesman si sen. noted pangilinan
sa opinion ko lamang mas puede na ang noynoy-roxas kesa sa ibang pagpipilian…pero sana matauhan na rin si pres. erap, npc at kampo ni brod. eddie v. na magkaisa baka makasalisi na naman ang kandidato ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration.
di mo mababalewa ang 3-4M votes ni brod eddie v., kaya pihadong mahahati na naman ang boto ng oposisyon sa kampo ng lp, npc at pmp ni erap.
at isa lang ang sigurado kung magkaroon man ng election..another minority president to lead our country, but this time basta malinis at credible ang resulta ng election ay tulungan at suportahan natin ang susunodd na presidente at higit sa lahat ang susunod na presidente ay may paninindigan para papanagutin sa mga kaso ng pagmamalabis, pagnanakaw at pandaraya si queen gloria at mga alipores at habulin lahat simula nani perez, hanggang sa mga sangkot sa anomalyang mabibisto pa lamang…mahaba pa ang walong buwan para patuloy nilang pagnakawanang kaban ni juan dela cruz…privatization kuno pero pagbebenta ng mga state assets sa kaalyado at sa murang halaga, pagpasok sa malalaking projects na walang public bidding at malaking tongpats, paglala ng smuggling at jueteng, at pati yung pagsulpot ng mga casino na kung saan iilang tao ang middle man…
sana habulin at kasuhan ng susunod na pangulo ang mga palalo at gahamang tropa ni queen gloria.
sa ngayon…noynoy-mar is pupuede pero baka may iba pang kaganapan at last minute magkaisa ang oposisyon…sana nga
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
Natakpan na naman yong mga ill-gotten wealth isyu ng mga Arroyo.
I still believe that the only way to go forward and initiate a reform that will encompass the whole governance is for the Oppositions to sacrifice their own personal ambitions and rally behind one standard bearer and throw their support for only one goal and direction…forward…and each of them contribute their own Piece for a Programme and Platform that will be the guide and Direction of the Government in case given the Mandate by the Filipinos come Election Day…Be it Senator Aquino, Mar Roxas or anyone…But if each wants to be the next President, then chances is, the next one will be the same potato…
Paiyak-iyal pa kunwari si Mr. Noted Cuneta na bumalik sa LP hoping that Mar rejects the VP offer.
If Villar is not so bad, why did Mr. Noted not join him? Easily, he could be Villar’s second.
Balik si Mr. Noted sa LP and Alex Magno is nagmamaligno in Noynoy’s camp. Hope LP’s bet can see through these frauds. Hay, Pinas politics, sirkuhan lang.
sa nakikita kong field, si noynoy lang ang acceptable.
hindi naman fair yun banat sa kanya na anak lang siya ni ninoy at cory. Si noynoy ang pangarap niya ay maabot yun pangarap ng mga magulang niya – isang bayan na demokratiko at kung saan ang bawat tao ay may pag-asang umasenso. Masama bang mag ambition na ipagpatuloy ang inumpisahan ng kanyang magulang? Maganda naman ang pangarap ng mga magulang niya.
Statement of Akbayan:
An administration that shall not enter into any compromises with Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, her family and her cronies. A government that shall commit to reverse the political and economic damages wrought by the Arroyo administration. A political leadership that shall use its authority and shall exercise political will to introduce basic reforms that would restore our faith in our own capacity to lead decent and honorable lives.
AKBAYAN made its first presidential endorsement with full appreciation of the fact that the 2010 elections is a make or break election for the country, and that the above considerations should be our main national agenda. Gloria does not only represent a backslide in our democracy – she symbolizes national degeneration; the 2010 elections is therefore an opportunity for the rebirth of our nation.
It is in this regard that we welcome and endorse the presidential bid of Senator Noynoy Aquino. Our support is premised on the same factors that we considered in endorsing Sen. Mar Roxas. Sen. Noynoy Aquino was among the first to repudiate the abuses committed by the Arroyo administration, from the ‘Hello Garci’ controversy to the graft-ridden NBN-ZTE deal, and he has likewise committed to hold the Arroyos accountable once GMA steps out of Malacanang. Sen. Aquino likewise appreciates the task he needs to face to restore the dignity of Filipinos if and once elected into office.
But more importantly, AKBAYAN sees Sen. Aquino as a symbol to a nation yearning for unity and greatness. What makes him so is not his political ambition but his lack of it. Sen. Aquino has reluctantly accepted a monumental challenge that has been thrust upon him. That alone tells us that Noynoy is no Gloria: his reluctance symbolizes honor in his brand of leadership, as compared to the latter’s orchestrated ascent to the presidency, and her subsequent manipulation of her authority to maintain her stay in power.
As with our previous endorsement of Sen. Mar Roxas, we are under no illusion that we will always have a common stand on all issues with Sen. Aquino. But we always go back to what Sen. Noynoy Aquino himself said when he spoke in our National Congress – that divergence of opinion should not be seen as a political burden. We shall forge ahead where unities exist; where differences are manifest, AKBAYAN shall continue to engage Sen. Aquino.
Our principles and our platform are our backbone as a political party, and AKBAYAN shall always be anchored in its commitment to pursue the interest of the majority of Filipinos who have been rendered voiceless by our political system. Our endorsement of Sen. Aquino is part of our quest to make our politics work for all of us, and not just to the entrenched few.
Manuel,
With Roxas out of the race, can only agree with you.
Agree that there’s nothing wrong with trying to achieve the ambitions/dreams of one’s parents.
I would like to achieve the ambitions/dreams of my parents too, unfortunately I can’t. Not that I don’t want to, just that I haven’t got the ability or capacity to make their dreams come true.
Aquino will perhaps be more lucky/luckier…
abangan na lamang natin ang mga susunod na kabanata sa mala-sarsuela at tele-novelang politica,onli in da pilipins style ika nga….
sa ngayon dapat ay huwag tigilan yung mga tagong yaman ng mga arroyo at mga alipores….more expose sa mga matatapang na verafiles! mabuhay po kayo!
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
AdB,
I hope Noynoy succeeds in getting people to start writing their history, that’s all.
nakakatuwa yung statement ni little president and certified mega-millionaire ermita na mananaig pa rin daw at malakas ang kandidato ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration…laki talaga ng bilib sa kanilang kalokohan na mananalo pa rin sila…pupuede pag automated garci cheating part 2 na naman sa 2010
pero isa lang ang malinaw, dahil wala ngang malakas na kandidato si queen gloria ay pihadong may “secret alliances” ang rehimeng kurakot sa mga nagpapanggap na oposisyon…sino ba sa mga opposition presidentiables ang may preno pag babanat sa mga katiwalian at maling polisiya ni queen gloria? sino ba sa kanila ang palaging playing safe?
sino ba laging umiiwas pag tatanungin sa mga isyu ng katiwalian at walang paninidigan kung may mga sumisingaw na anomalya lalo na sa usaping impeachment? hmmmm siguradong may isang doble kara na kandidato…namamangka sa dalawang ilog,oposisyon kuno pero sa bandang huli protector din pala ni queen gloria
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
From Conrado De Quiros column: DEAR ERAP
http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20090908-224129/Dear-Erap
“…I do not see how the person who took your place will allow you to run. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo fears a reprisal from you, and whatever guarantees you give her you will give to someone who knows what it means to say one thing and do another. It cannot help that you have shown a capacity for it too. Remember when you promised not to cross her in exchange for pardon and ended up joining the call for her to resign after the NBN?”
Is he saying that if it’s Noynoy who’ll be the chosen one of a united oppositon, Gloria will allow him to win and not cheat? That Noynoy will not get back at Gloria for all the crimes that she has committed against the Filipinos? From the way he wrote this letter/ column, he seems to be on bended knees while writing this… pleading to Erap that he gives up on another run at the presidency and to support Noynoy instead. Tsk.. tsk.
anna, what happened to your gravatar?
Mr. De Quiros knows Erap has a big chance of winning and that for Noynoy to win, Erap should back out and support Noynoy’s candidacy. My question is: Why ask someone who has the biggest chance of winning to back-out, instead of the one who’s not?
Ellen,
I don’t know… something or someone must have eliminated it — maybe because it’s “bold?” Heh!
Haaay, naku. Lagi na lang tayong ganito. We will settle, AGAIN, for the second best. Merong chance magkaroon ng magaling na matino pa, hindi na nga sinusuportahan, sila-sila pa mismo ang sumira doon sa tao. Malayo pang maging mature ang political parties dito sa Pilipinas. And we just turned the clock back six more years. For the meantime, politics of personalities muna uli tayo.
Sila pa itong nagkakalat ng “tsismis pangmayaman” gaya ng “di bagay mag-padyak si Roxas kasi naka-Florsheim”. But the thing that always gets my goat is when they discredit Roxas via the Korina route while praising Noynoy via the Ninoy/Cory detour. Puta. Bakit, kinaliskisan din ba nila noon si Mike Arroyo bago nila isinalaksak sa lalamunan natin si Gloria? Bakit, ikinumpara ba nila noon si Gloria at sinigurong “kasimbait” ng tatay niyang “Poor-boy-from-Lubao-who-retired-in-Forbes-Park”?
Nilait nila si Roxas dahil ginagamit lang daw si Korina. Tignan nga natin kung anong papel ni Shalani sa kampanya ni Noynoy, walang gamitan, ha?
Siguro naman sa 2016, handang-handa na si Sonny Boy, nang makakita naman tayo yung lideratong radikal na magbabago sa lipunang unti-unti nang nabubulok. I hope that when we get there, the moral decay in Phil. politics, and Phil. society in general, will not be worse than the state it is in today.
Tongue, I am so looking forward to Sonny Boy too! Matulog muna tayo ulit ng anim na taon. The way I see it, it will be six years of walang pagbabago, lamya lamya admin. I hope I am wrong. Sa totoo lang, siguro nga sana manalo ulit si Erap ng ilampaso niya si boobuwit at tanggalin niya yung mga magnanakaw. Huwag na lang siyang mambabae pa at bumili ng kung ano ano para sa mga wives niya. He should also pick the right people in his cabinet. Wala ng sabit at ang.
Mahirap ang masyadong mabait na pangulo. Maraming pasaway sa atin. Lalaruin lang nila si Noynoy at ok na. Hay naku, when will we ever learn? Dadasalan na lang ni Noynoy ang mga problema. Patatawarin niya yung mga nagkasala. Dapat magpari na lang siya at hindi pangulo. Well…
Tongue sino yung sinasabi mo na magaling na matino pa?
Tongue,
For the meantime, politics of personalities muna uli tayo.
That’s why I’m so dismaya.
So frigging dismaya…
PSB,
Who’s sonny boy?
Anna, Trillianes.
Don’t get me wrong, as it stands, I may be voting for Noynoy after all (As if there is a choice). What I’m not comfy with is the attitude of the elitist few whose messianic complexes they want to impose on everybody because they have “decided” among themselves it’s good for all.
I think I read it in this blog but I’d like to reiterate it for emphasis. It goes somethin like this:
“O ayan, hindi kami pumayag na si Mar Roxas ang maging kandidato ninyo kaya iyan, ang iboboto ninyo ngayon ay si Noynoy na. Huwag na ninyong itanong kung bakit si Noynoy, basta.”
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Kung bakit naman kasi itong si Sonny boy e ipinanganak na huli. Wala na sana tayong mahabang dakdakan…
PSB, si Roxas.
I thought many were thinking like me that a Roxas-Lacson was the dream team. Roxas has the brain and experience, Lacson will be there to ensure implementation of the plans and visions. Of the three “strong willed” wannabes, I don’t think Bayani and Binay are in Ping’s league yet. Sa Pinas, kailangan yung implementor nirerespeto o kinatatakutan, bago sumunod ang tao. This is so peculiar to Asians that’s why those countries who are now progressive are those who experienced strongman rule. It must be in the genes.
Now what will we now expect from a Noynoy-Mar leadership which is a lame-lame combination?
Chi, pahinugin muna natin siya. Tamang tama kapag napasarap ang tulog natin ng anim na taon, Si Sonny naman! For once, huwag na namang mga elitita ang maghahari sa atin.
Tongue, Roxas-Lacson naman talaga tayong dalawa. Kaya lang ay walang choice, idinidikdik sa atin ang Noynoy-Mar. Baligtarin ko man ang mga pangalan ng nakahelera by tandem ay mas asfe pa rin tayo sa lame-lame combination. Kakaasar noh?
PSB, ang habang tulugan uli niyan but worth the wait for sure.
Tongue, I thought so too. I just wanted a confirmation. I was dismayed when he just gave way to Noynoy, ganun ganun na lang. Sana ginawa na lang niyang vice si Noynoy. But maybe Mar has the two elements of a leader, kaya lang lumiit yung balls niya o simply nawala na! He gave in so easily!
But if Noynoy proves us wrong and he can really clean up our country, Mar may be the next president. Sonny can wait another term. Bata pa naman siya. Hopefully he will be more seasoned then. Sonny will be the President when my son and very young nephews will be in their 20s na. Baka sakali at that time we would have stopped the brain drain and our people will stay put and learn to love and serve the country like the good old times. That would be the day. Sana buhay pa tayo then!
I agree with Phil. . after surviving one calamity after another in the wake of Typhoon Gloria, the prospect of an honest and decent presidency a Noynoy candidacy has to offer is like manna from heaven. . . . . Some people call him a wimp and a weakling. . .maybe bcoz all these years, he had been all so quiet in the halls of congress and the senate, as if shouting themselves hoarse during interpellations and debates, is a trademark of outstanding lawmakers. . .others take him to task for not filing significant bills. . depends on our own take of what is significant or not. . . as pointed out, we do not lack for good laws, only good implementors. . .weakling? i dont think so. . .as someone who had served the PSG in the twilight of the Aquino presidency, i have observed the Aquino siblings up front. . save for Kris who could be bratty at times, Noynoy never gave any problems to his security detail. . walang yabang. .tahimik. . maasikaso sa mga tao. . no air of superiority whatsoever, so Cory. . .during the dec 89 coup, he was ambushed together with Korina S by rebel soldiers near Malacanang. . .he was wounded but like a man, he fought back by exchanging gunfire. . .that’s no wimp or weakling in my book. . .Most, if not all bloggers here, agree that he is decent and honest. . .To me, those are the two most important qualities of a president. . .simple lang ang buhay na hangad ng mga pinoy. . . kumayod at mabuhay ng marangal. . .yung di mo sinusuka at ikinahihiya kahit saan ka mang sulok ng mundo ang presidente ng bansa mo. . .nakakarindi ng utak na ang lagi mo na lang naririnig ay “why is ur president like that? why is her family always involved in this and that anomaly?” I would cringe in shame each time. . . simple lang ang gusto ko. . .bring back national pride. . .bring back decency and honesty in government service first. . .lahat ng hinihingi nating economic recovery at social services susunod yan. . .filipinos are generally law-abiding. .make people believe and trust the government. . .i left the service bcoz i have lost faith in government. . . i have lost respect for the president. .deep inside me, i believe Noynoy will make a difference. . strange that i was able to say that word again after losing faith in this present government. . . At least now, i see a silver lining in the horizon, that glimmer of hope. . . . .i’m sorry i cant say the same thing of the other wannabes. . .
Ayan, the civil society has all the reasons to have an “orgasmic experience”?
Igan Chi, wala na talagang katahimikan ang Pinas…heto hihirit na naman ang mga evil society na yan? E sila ang puno’t dulo ng ating paghihirap ah?
NO to NOYNOY sapagka’t muling maghahari ang mga elitista na yan…ang mga evil socity na yang ang sumisira sa kinabukasan ng ating bansa.
Sila ang pasimuno sa tulong ng simbahan at ilang negosyante na pinapaniwala ang ibang Pinoy na tama ang kanilang PAG-IISIP.
Ang civil society…a.k.a. evil society sa ayon sa maraming Pinoy ang hudas sa ating lipunan? Junk the Yellow Fever sapagka’t ano na ang nangyari sa Mendiola/Luisita/Lupao Massacre during Tita Cory’s regime?
Ang daming pinatay at pinahirapang Masang Pinoy ng Rehimeng Cory thru her military triggerman.
Calling the ATTENTION of ALL peaceful and loving Masang Pilipino…NEVER iboboto ang Yellow Fever sapagka’t sila ang extension ng Arroyo regime.
Enough na yong 10-years na pagpapahirap sa atin kung kaya itong evil society na ito ang nagbabangong puri sa kanilang kapalpakan sa pagsuporta kay gloria.
NO TO YELLOW FEVER?????????
henry, it’s nice to read something interesting from your end, lalo na ang ganti-baril ni Noynoy. Oo naman pala, lalaban si Noynoy ng patayan kung kailangan.
Mr. De Quiros knows Erap has a big chance of winning and that for Noynoy to win, Erap should back out and support Noynoy’s candidacy. My question is: Why ask someone who has the biggest chance of winning to back-out, instead of the one who’s not?
Nice comment Kgg. Mick, maganda ang laban nito MASANG PILIPINO against YELLOW FEVER?
Kapag ibonoto pa ng Kapinuyan ang Yellow Fever e wala na talaga silang katinuan sa pag-iisip? Ginawa na nila NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE ang lahat pero ano ang nangyari sa bansa natin…WALA?
Kaya itong evil society na ito e dapat bigyan ng leksyon ng matuto…iginigiit ang sarili pero sila ang pahirap sa bayan.
ENOUGH na ang kanilang katontohan sapagka’t lalo lang nilang ibinabaon sa burak o kumunoy ang Bayan.
Junk….Yellow Fever mania? Pagnagkataon e idadamay pa nila si Tita Cory sa kanilang ka ek-ekan sapagka’t muling mananariwa ang darkest day ng Cory regime.
Muling mananariwa ang mga kaluluwang naghahanap ng hustisya na kanilang pinatay?
Ito si kristeta e akalo mo ang tino at husay sa buhay pero hungkag naman sapagka’t di pwedeng maging pamarisan sa kabutihang-asal.
Thanks, PSB.
Spot on ang analysis ni Tongue, sadly water under the bridge na iyang Roxas-Lacson tandem.
I’ve always been pro-Lacson so, how about Aquino-Lacson? I’ll settle for that.
Si NoyNOy Ay walang pang pinakitang magandang performance sa SENADO. Thaimik at di kayang mag ingay.
HINDI AKO BOTO na siya ang maging presidente dahil lang kay CORY.. Kung buhay si CORY at tumakbo si Noy sa pag presidente ay tiyak na sa kulelat siya.
Sinabi mo pa, Tedanz. Iyong mga sinabing nakulimbat ni Marcos at tinago sa Switzerland, binigay na nga sa Philippine government, pero ngayon nasaan na? Bakit hahabulin pa ni Noynoy ang mga Marcos at di iyong kumulimbat noong mga binalik nang nakaw daw nila. Bakit hindi niya sinasabi na hahabulin niya iyong mga kriminal na nakaupo ngayon?
Sa totoo lang, nakakatakot siya pag nakaupo. Pihado maghahari-harian at magre-reyna-reynahan na naman ang mga tiyo at tiya niya sa nanay at tatay niya.
Ano iyan? Parang pabouncing-bouncing na lang between these keningburimos? Kaya ba nilalagay nila sa Wikipedia na lahat ng pilipino may lahing dugong-aso?
Panibagong abuso na naman! Haaaaaaaaaaay!
Were Cory still alive, would Noynoy have run?
Why did it suddenly become imperative to run, after the Mother died? It is not about “ituloy ang laban”, but to harvest the sympathy votes.
Was this not the same situation, albeit manufactured, that “kailangang magkaisa para mapaalis si Erap”? What did it produce? So Noynoy is not the Glue. But wasn’t she the next best thing to piniritong galunggong (sliced bread sa Kano) when it was imperative that Erap be kicked out?
Ah but Noynoy is different. So was the Glue, in 2001. Deja vu as John Klemmer would wail on his tenor sax.
Sax, naguumpisa pa lang ang concert, sintunado na. The civil society(some call them evil, I wonder why) want to exploit the Cory fever. Will they win in the countryside knowing that Noynoy did not care to vote for the Carp? O sa Manila lang ang fever na ito?
Al: “What is Noynoy going to do with his uncle Peping and Aunt Tingting who are still aligned with Gloria Arroyo?
And also Aunt Lupita and Tessie Oreta and uncle Paul.
Ang sarap ng buhay ng mga oportunista na yan.”
Tama ka dyan! Nakakuha na naman ng ‘pamato’ ang Evil Society, mga elitista at mga kaparian, na kaya nilang gawing puppet. Ayaw kasi nila kay ERAP. Hindi nga makapag-asawa si Noynoy dahil walang backbone eh. Malamang kasama sa secret ‘Cabinet’ ang mga kapatid at kamag-anak sa mga desisyon. Hay ano ba yan! Sa pagsabak ni Noynoy sa pagka-presidente…Nagtagumpay na naman ang mga evil society. PAANO NA ANG MGA MASANG PILIPINO!!!!!Nung panahon ni CORY eh NAPABAYAAN DIN NAMAN ANG MASA!!!!
Sinasamantala ng mga nasa likod ng pagtakbo ni Noynoy ang emosyon ng tao sa pagkamatay ni Cory. Paggalang ang ipinakita ng ibang tao sa pagkamatay ni Cory at hindi dahil sila ay talagang maka-Cory! Paano kung mawala na ang emosyon, malakas pa kaya ang dating ni Noynoy na alam naman ng marami na walang leadership qualities at
magiging ‘puppet’ lamang ng mga elitista?!
The diversity of opinions about the prospective Noynoy presidency is delightful, but there is one consensus about his character — he is a decent person. To me, decency means a clear conscience, a quality apparently missing in the Arroyo brood and some of the putative candidates for the presidency. It is my hope that the electorate, including Anna and Tongue, will finally decide in favor of decency in the 2010 contest.
Tama ang naaamoy na malansa ni Tongue! Mukhang ang isa sa nakikinabang sa pag-udyok kay Noynoy at pagsasamantala sa emosyon ng pagkamatay ni Cory ay walang iba kundi ang…Liberal Party! Mga TRAPO pa rin ang karamihan sa miyembro ng partidong ito. They saw Noynoy as a good ‘scrificial lamb’! HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN! Yan ang isisigaw ng partido!
I would not hope too much about this presidential ambition of Noynoy, who is definitely riding on his mother’s name and death.
I am not a big fan of Mrs. Aquino, who, I must admit though, tried her best to right the wrongs that she had committed before, after and during her reign that , contrary to publicity, did not actually free the Filipinos
especially from want, etc. She died in vain, however.
In fact, a lot many of the problems we see now originated from her administration that did not actually restore democracy but the same system and people who had enslaved Filipinos for decades even before and after Martial Law.
Worse was the deterioration of Filipino morality and dignity with the deployment for instance enmasse of the so-called “Japayuki” that flourished after Mrs. Aquino inked an agreement with Japan for a special quota of 40,000 entertainers annually to Japan.
In fact, a lot many concerned women’s groups in Japan were dismayed when Mrs. Aquino did not stop the deployment of those Japayukis that they had protested against for the negligence of the Marcos administration to curb the exploitation of these women being brought to Japan by illegal recruiters with tie-up with crime syndicates in Japan.
Marcos in fact did not OK such deployment. Cory did! She was supposed to send genuine entertainers not wannabe prostitutes, male and female, to Japan. Dumami tuloy ang puta at nawalan na ng dangal ang mga Pilipino, at dumami pa ang mga bastardo, who are becoming a big social problem here presently!!!
Another was the attempt to deprive Filipinos to benefit from patrimonies acquired even with the blood of those who sacrificed their lives for love of country with the sales of Philippine properties both in the Philippines and abroad.
One of those properties in fact that Cory Aquino and her cronies then tried to sell were the properties in Japan. I led the movement in fact to stop the sale of the Roppongi property as I did not want the Philippines to lose it the way the property in San Francisco was squandered by the cronies and relatives of Aquino hoodwinking Filipinos by saying that it was a sequestered Marcos property because it was acquired during Marcos’ reign.
The sales of the properties in Japan then were stopped not because Mrs. Aquino was convinced that those properties were not hers to sell but to keep for the Philippines and the Filipinos, but because the Japanese buyers had more
sense of propriety, and most of all, love of country. Naawa sila sa amin na nagprotesta especially when we emphasized that those properties were payment for the blood of Filipinos spilled in WWII. And no decent Japanese in fact has since attempted to buy the property.
Now, here comes Gloria the Crook. From day one she coveted the presidency from Estrada, she had planned on selling the patrimonies in Japan even against SC ruling even to shady characters just to get rid of them. Fortunately, the appointed guardian of those properties, the Japanese government, had questioned one or two supposed buyers of those patrimonies, and thus, the crooks were not able to close the deal, and consequently, the supposed buyers are now suing the Philippine government for breach of contract.
My group and I are, likewise, preparing to do the same, sue Gloria and her cohorts plus these buyers if need be. Our lawyers in fact are studying the possibility of filing the lawsuit in a Japanese court when in principle whatever deal the creep makes with the wannabe buyers should have been voided by the Philippine Supreme Court based on the SC ruling on patrimonies.
These actually are just a few of why I don’t actually believe the publicity about Mrs. Aquino being the mother of Philippine democracy-baka oligarchy pa—and her son becoming one president who will work really hard to make at last his country a great nation.
As a blogger here once said, mag-umpisa muna siyang ayusin ang agrarian problem sa hacienda nila, baka maniwala pa ako.
BTW, I came to know Balsy, the sister of Noynoy, in fact, when her name surfaced then as one of those involved in the sales of Philippine properties during the Aquino administration. She was the personal secretary of her mother then, so the mother could nnot be excused for not knowing about the shady deals in these sales especially the successful ones they did like the sale of the property in SFO.
Lawyer Leonard de Vera in fact revealed the involvement of Aquino’s relatives in sale of the Philippine property on Stockton St. in SFO. Sabi naman ng isang kakilala ko doon, kaya lang humirit si De Vera daw dahil di binalatuhan as promised.
Madaling madukling ang mga pilipino ng mga publicity. I would rather wait for the right candidate, not just any candidate, to support. Puede naman akong magsuporta even if I cannot vote in the Philippines.
Puede naman bumoto na lang ng Senador at Congressman kahit di na bumoto ng president o VP kung talagang wala nang mapili kesa palagi na lang choice between two evils!
Kawawang bansa!
Neonate,
Noynoy may be decent but what about the people who will be running the country ‘behind his back’. Like the Kamaganak, Inc., nuong panahon ni Cory? Who by the way are in cahoots with Gloria up to now dahil nakaposisyon at may kapit. Mas nakakatakot nga na yung mga nangungurakot ay yung mga taong hindi ‘exposed’.
Gusto natin ng matalino, nakakauha tayo ng Marcos at boobuwit, both corrupt. Gusto natin decent nakakuha tayo ng Cory. Nagpakasasa yung mga kamaganak inc ng panahon niya and there was nothing she could do. Ngayon gusto na naman natin ng ala Cory. Gee, maghanap naman tayo ng mas balanse kesa sa mga ito. Wala na ba talagang mapagpipilian? Yung talagang may proven track record ng governance, hindi nangurakot at nanggaling sa mahirap. We keep voting an elite. Ano naman ang mga alam ng mga ito sa gutom at hirap ng buhay? Sa umaga eh handa na ang almusal. None of these elite candidates really know yung hirap na pinagdaraanan ng 70% ng bansa. Yung kumakain ng pagpag kung baga. Sa dinami dami ng mga governors natin wala na lang ba ni isang pwedeng maging pangulo natin? Sa mga legislators, wala ba dyang isang “stand out” na talagang yung kapakanan ng mga mahihirap ang palaging isinusulong?
Even in our big corporations, wala na ba dyang pwedeng sumahod ng mas maliit lang para magsilbi sa bansa niya? A president need not be a senator or a congressman. Kahit sino pwede basta handang maglinkod sa bayan. Yun naman sanang may sinasabi talaga at hindi yung lamya lamya.
luzvuminda,
Granted Noynoy is carrying some heavy baggage, mostly inherited. As some here commented,
“a guy whose greatest accomplishment so far is being the child of his parents”, and the millstone burden of a brat sister whose taste in paramours is terrible and whose logorrhea is unparalleled (posing a risk that sibling advise may escape the decency filter). That only proves he is human, just like us.
Granted too that the Kamaganak syndrome is a potent threat, but that would be true to ANY presidency, and the well entrenched hegemonies still are the present day warlords of their fiefs — the oligarches, political dynasties, the bureaucrat-business partners in corruption. It will take more than one presidential term to dismantle, but a determined honest man (remember Diogenes) can initiate the trend towards a decent society.
All the other contenders somehow made themselves visible and were involved in one project or the other. Noynoy was invisible all this time. Now he wants to be a president? Am I missing something in the translation? Baka ang 2010 to 2016 eh invisible na rin ang Pilipinas!
Tinatanggap ko ang hamon ng sambayanan – Noynoy
Sinong sambayanan? baka sambayanan ng mga evil and yellow society at mga madre.
In fairness, cute yung girlfriend niya. Huwag lang i-bully ni Kris baka maudlot pa.
The problem with our trapos is that they are exploiting the masa for their political ends. During erap’s term nasaan ang mga masa? Me masa ba sa inner circle who stole billions from the treasury? Masa ba ang nakikinabang sa jueteng money? Masa ba ang nakikinabang sa rice smuggling? Masa ba ang kainuman ni AMA with atong et al (hindi tuba kundi johnnie walker blue) Masa ba ang kasama ni AMA sa kanyang harem?…patikim naman.Masa ba ang ang nag-transact for govt. projects? Nakikinabang ba ang masa sa sop? Joint account owner ba ang masa sa velarde account?
Para sa mahihirap? Sabagay mahilig sa sine naging uto uto.
I hope Noynoy remembers an excerpt of his father’s speech way back 1982 at Los Angeles. This is part 8 of the series from the same event as uploaded in YouTube. Ito ang platform of government ni Ninoy in case siya ang maupong presidente. Please take note sa 8:20 up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVGL5eTYWJk
People are saying that Erap had his chance but he blew it? Noynoy, your mother and the yellow elites were given a chance to recover the Marcos ill-gotten wealth for six long years with dictatorial power but they blew it. Your kamag anak inc. blew it too. You want a slow motion replay of another six years of blow by blow corruption?
It seems to me that Mar chose to withdraw his candidacy as President because of the pressure from the yellow elites and the yellow media. Even if there will be a convention within the Liberal party to choose who will be the standard bearer, Mar already knew that the evil yellow elites will dictate the winner of the convention and will not allow a fair selection process by the party delegates. Mar did the right thing of resigning right away.
It is only the yellow elites and the yellow media who are proclaiming that the people are clamoring for Noynoy. During the time of Erap, the yellow media demonized Erap and glorified that gloria. What the yellow media is doing right now, is a deception or an illusion that people is clamoring for Noynoy.
Liberal party is not a solid party per newspaper accounts.
If I were Mar, I will run as VP of Erap instead of VP of Noynoy. Mar’s chances of winning as VP of Erap is higher than run as VP of Noynoy. Not only that, if Erap gets disqualified by arroyo supreme court, Mar will get the support of Erap. Mar will be the next President of Pinas.
PSB,
Si Gloria ay hindi kasing talino ni Marcos. May kodigo lang iyan. Mediocre sa totoo lang. I’m not impressed. Wala sa kalingkingan ni Margaret Thatcher.
Kung sinabi mo pang No. 1 criminal or Public Enemy No. 1, maniniwala ako! 😛
Bakit ba ninyo pinagpipilitan si Mar Roxas? Dahil bata niya si Korina? Yuck!
Xman, I like you idea. Why be with Noynoy when Mar can do better? Patok na patok yan. I do not really like Erap but with Mar around, things may be better. Sana nga si Mar at hindi si Chiz ang piliin ni Erap. Mar should know by now that there will be no real governance if Noynoy wins. It will be the evil society dictating what they need to do. May utang na loob pa si Mar sa mga “yellow” na ito.
A very interesting article from Billy Esposo, an analysis of Noynoy’s candidacy from a market branding’s point of view:
http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=503899&publicationSubCategoryId=64
Florry:
Tama ka. Di naman sambayanan ang nagsulong kay Noynoy. Si Mar Roxas at iyong mga nagpatalsik kay Erap ang nagsulong sa kaniya. Di sila sambayanan sa totoo lang.
As for Erap, puede ba gumawa na lang siya ng mga documentaries? May maiiwan pa siyang pamana sa mga pilipinong inuunggoy nila.
Kawawang bansa!
Erap- Mar is a good idea because if erap gets disqualified, Mar will be the next president.
What if erap is not disqualified? E di tuloy ligaya. Marami na namang Atong ang eeksena. There will be another Angara who will run the affairs of the government dahil si president ay incapable. We will be going back to one of the darkest chapters of our history!
Oust GLORIA. No to TRAPOS!
Mar will never leave Noynoy even if he rejects the VP offer.
Still a big NO for Noynoy and the Liberal Party. This group is being pushed by the self-righteous and arrogant “Evil Society” like Black and White. Panay kayabangan ang nasa utak akala mo sila lang may karapatan.
Paano naman ang kasalanan ninyo noong Edsa Dos??? Ganun na lang ba yon? Kalimutan at may bago kayong kandidato? Di pwede!
Sinabi mo pa, PSB. Kasusulat lang ng isang relative ng mother ko sa Ilocos that the Solid North votes will never be given to Noynoy lalo na yung sinasabi ni Noynoy that he will pursue looking for the Marcos’ ill-gotten wealth. Bakit di pa ba nakuha lahat?
E itong mga ninakaw ni Gloria, et al, anong gagawin niya? No wonder welcome na welcome siya doon sa mga kulimbat!
Sabi siguro noong tiya niyang si Lupita, ke bumagsak si Gloria or what, malakas pa rin silang magkakapatid. No wonder di na umasenso ang Pilipinas. Back to the future pa ang labas!
‘To naman ang take ng isang kaibigan ko sa Tokyo na nagpupuyos ang damdamin sa balak na pangguguyo sa mga katulad niyang botante:
O baka pag nanalo iyan, doon lang magpapakasal, tapos ang reception, etc. paid with public funds.
Kawawang mga pilipino talaga! Kung pagsamantalahan ng mga binoboto nila ganoon na lang. Wala bang batas na nagbabawal na ang mga private parties nila di dapat binabayaran with public funds?
So, does Noynoy mean to say first thing he would do if elected is free Senator Trillanes? I hope he does, but not like what Gloria did to Erap, who was granted presidential pardon, meaning criminal na na-pardon!
Trillanes should be freed because he is NOT guilty, and be allowed to do his job as Senator as freely as he should under the law that he has taken an oath to abide by.
This my friends and I welcome, but not enough however for us to pledge support to the Noynoy Aquino bandwagon.
Ano iyan? Parang pabouncing-bouncing na lang between these keningburimos? Kaya ba nilalagay nila sa Wikipedia na lahat ng pilipino may lahing dugong-aso?

@grizzy
di nila sinasabi na ang lahat ng pilipino ay dugong aso ang sinasabi nila na ang mga taga northern NCR,Rizal,Bulacan and Nueva Ecija used to be Kapampangans and also the tribes allied with Kapampangans since pre-hispanic times are closely related to Kapampangans by blood,the place where the soldiers are detained now used to be a part of Pampanga and the aetas there speak a language similar to kapampangan as well.
Alam ba niyo kung bakit nagtratraydor ang mga taga-macabebe it was because of the treason the people from southern luzon and lakandula’s treason that caused Tarik Soliman,a former leader of Macabebe to be defeated the same thing happened with Emilio Aguinaldo who betrayed Andres Bonifacio who is a native of Masantol.
Sa totoo lang itong mga Macapagal ay ganiyan ang ugali dahil sila ay nakikinabang sa mga pera na binabayad sa kanila ng mga espanyol,maraming pinatay na kapampangan din iyong ninuno ni Gloria na si Juan Macapagal not just Ilocanos and Pangasinense dahil sa pera ganoon din si Lazaro Macapagal…
____________
Sinabi mo pa, Tedanz. Iyong mga sinabing nakulimbat ni Marcos at tinago sa Switzerland, binigay na nga sa Philippine government, pero ngayon nasaan na? Bakit hahabulin pa ni Noynoy ang mga Marcos at di iyong kumulimbat noong mga binalik nang nakaw daw nila. Bakit hindi niya sinasabi na hahabulin niya iyong mga kriminal na nakaupo ngayon?
____________
@Grizzy
I think baka si Ramos talaga ang nakinabang sa mga perang ninakaw hindi ang mga Marcos,Ramos should pay for his atrocities
Naku, mukhang nagkamali ng pili si Korina ah. Dapat si Noynoy ang pinili niya. Di sana magiging First Lady na siya.
When all the other declared or perceived presidential wannabes spoke in front of the camera about anything, we dismissed them as merely grandstanding. Why are we now criticizing Noynoy for being ‘invisible’ in the past?
Ngayon (Tatagalugin ko na’t baka mapagbintangan pa akong elitista), patuloy pa rin ang karamihan sa kanilang paniniwalang elitista si Noynoy at makamasa si Erap. SIno kaya ang mas mayaman sa kanila? Yung namamalimos ng pera para sa kampanya o yung bumili ng dalawang helicopter at sampung van?
Sabi ni Erap, “Let us let the people decide, not the elites and the bourgeois … All of them are from the rich set.” Hindi kaya, kasama rin siya sa rich set?
EDSA Dos was a mistake because it resulted in the ouster of a duly elected president? I agree that EDSA Dos was a mistake, but for a different set of reasons. First, it was a mistake to call it a successful People Power revolution because it was Mike Arroyo and his cabals in the military who ousted Erap- not the people. EDSA Dos is nothing but a coup d’etat disguised as People Power. Second, it produced a cure worse than the disease itself.
Makamasa si Erap? Napasakanya ang kapangyarihan sa loob ng dalawa’t kalahating taon, anong mga programa niya ang tunay na nagtaguyod sa kapakanan ng masa?
Si Noynoy, wala raw maganda at magaling na batas na ipinanukala noong siya ay nasa Congress, sa mababang kapulungan at sa Senado. Si Erap, mayroon kaya?
Kung ang pagbabatayan natin sa pagiging makamasa ay ang paraan ng pagsasalita, charisma, at kakayanang kumain ng nakakamay kasama ng mga ‘pangkaraniwang tao’ lalo na sa harap ng camera, hindi malayong maging presidente si Robin Padilla sa 2016.
Mumbaki:
Nang sabihin ko sa kaibigan kong taga Malolos na may lahi pala silang dugong aso, galit na galit. Dayuhan daw ang mga kapampangan, at di tunay na mga pilipino—nagalit nga nang sabihing baka may lahing hapon dahil may “ne” kung magsalita sila! Sabi ko nga sa kaniya ang mga hapon, alam ang salitang tapat (faithful and loyal) pero hindi ang mga kapampangan.
Pero hindi daw totoo iyong claim ng mga Makapalgal na ang mga tagalog ay galing sa mga kapampangan. Maghalo daw ang balat sa tinalupan.
Kaya please huwag ka nang makikinig kung sino mang kulapo iyong Loarca na parang si Henry O. Beyer na nagsabing lahat ng mga pilipino lahing ita!!! 😛
bibilib ako kay Noynoy kung sasabihan niya iyong tiya niyang si Lupita na iwanan ang kalaban, si Gloria Kulimbat. Otherwise, no bilib ako sa kaniya! Mas bilib ako kay Susan Roces. Sayang, hind interesado sa politika lalo pa’t marumi!
When Cory apologized to erap, she was not actually clearing him of his sins to the Filipino people. There was nothing in her statements averring that erap was innocent and a good president. There was only regret on her part having supported the ouster of erap because the successor was even worse.
Am having a sikantot (TT’s version of second thought) re voting for Noynoy. Kasi ba naman ay si Kiki Pangilinan daw ang kukuning ispoksman ni Kris para sa kuya niya?
Bawas ng ilang boto mula sa pamilya ko at kamag-anak KUNG TOTOO at itutuloy ang pagkuha bilang tagapagsalita ng ISA sa mga naging dahilan kung bakit si gloria ay nasa malakanyang ngayon at masasabing dahilan din ng ating paghihirap mula pa noon.
Second chance for Erap? Ano siya sinusuwerte. Double weder-weder para sa kanya ha. Give chance to others po, like kay Noynoy, tahimik pero hindi ba kasabihan, ‘Quiet/still water runs deep’. Ipinanganak sa politics si Noynoy alam niya ang ins and outs nito for sure.
Notice the exchange here and in the other threads? Erap v Noynoy. Cui bono? The Glue.
Kung mapaatras niyo si Erap, do you think Noynoy will get his masa votes? No, Kabayan will get it.
Tagumpay na naman ang nagmamagaling na mga elitista. You will deliver the votes to the proxy of the Glue.
totingmulto,
Nag-sorry siya kay Erap dahil mas grabe pala yong ipinalit nila. Alam naman natin na walang perpektong Presidente at alam yan ni Cory. Pag nasa Malakanyang ka na .. lumalapit na lang basta ang tukso. Etong si Glorya at ang pamilya ay puro hayop talaga sa pagkagahaman ng Salapi at kapangyarihan.
Liability talaga etong si Noted Kubeta pag ginawang tagapagsalita ni Noynoy. Walang kredibilidad itong taong ito. Tama nga si Korina wala talagang karapatan itong taong ito. Walang say. Puweeee!!!!!!
if this guy’s dream is just to continue the dream of his parents, (without belittling the memory of his dead parents), then i might be willing to give erap a second chance. at least erap did not get the whole 6 years whereas cory had 6 years and now he would like to continue the dream?certainly he does not mean that the presidency should go to certain families from generation to generation.
certainly he does not mean that the presidency should go to certain families from generation to generation.
wham, bang!
okay…mababaw ako—ayaw ko si Nonoy dahil kapag presidente siya ay andyan si Kris na ibubunyag sa buong bayan ang personal lives nila ad nauseum. o even malamang ma-pre-empt lahat ng mga moves ng preseidency. Everytime I see her speak out (and I don’t watch tv…mas marami akong nagagawa sa buhay ko that way) dyosme! maski sa burol ng nanay niya, walang delicadesa.
Noynoy will have to do more to show that he is his own man.
I agree with Ka Enchong, bakit nga ba palagi ang konsepto ng “pangmasa” ang tinataguan nitong mga pulitiko? Pati na yang si Caparas…e, halatang ginagatasan nila ang masa—emotionally and financially.
atty sax, I don’t like Erap to withdraw, hindi exciting ang eleksyon kung wala sya. hehehe!
MPR, yaw-a ko na rin kay Noynoy kung palaging aalibadbaran lang ako sa presensya ni Mr. Noted Kubeta sa entablado. Salawahan ako numero uno pagdating sa pulitika lalo na at hindi sila natututo ng history….
Bullseye mo, norpil!
Makamasa si Erap? Napasakanya ang kapangyarihan sa loob ng dalawa’t kalahating taon, anong mga programa niya ang tunay na nagtaguyod sa kapakanan ng masa?—Ka Enchong #160
Ka Enchong, noong presidente si Estrada at si Mar Roxas ang secretary nya noon ay sila ang nag umpisa ng BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) at nag alaga noon hanggang sa ma coup d’etat si Erap. Ang point man nila ay si Gregory Domingo — managing director of the Department of Trade and Industry’s Board of Investments.
Bigyan kita ng preview kung ano na ang nangyayari sa BPO nila dito sa Pinas:
With the public and private sectors focused on this goal, the BPO sector grew into a $6.1-billion-yearly industry with close to 400,000 employees today—and aiming for one million in just a few years.
Indeed the BPO sector is now widely credited as one of the industries that helped the country weather the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression.

At saka sa website ni Erap nandoon ang mga accomplishments nya mula ng naging mayor sya ng San Juan, erap.ph ang site.
Ang tanong ko sa iyo ngayon Ka Enchong, ano naman ang accomplishments ni Noynoy mula ng naging senador sya?
Ellen,
Must say the discussion thread here is very enlightening. I’m actually impressed with the arguments presented by everyone.
I’m learning a lot!
I’m reading every single post and really, each one is as good as the next… Bravo to Ellenville members!
grizzy,what the loarca chronicle says is that those tagalogs in central luzon are fake tagalogs who are originally kapampangan.
Bakit pinagiinitan ninyo ang mga Kapangpangan — hindi naman lahat ng kapangpangan ay pareho ni Gloria. Parang sinabi na ninyo na lahat ng Ilocano ay pareho ni Chabit Singson.
Adebrux,I agree..
Is Shalani Soledad, the special lady in the life of Aquino? She’s pretty.
Anna, in fairness, I agree, Shalani is pretty. She will be an asset to Noynoy. Dagdag yan sa apat na babaeng support group nya. I just hope that Kris will not make “taray” to her and drive her away.
Let’s support Noynoy, an ordinary man who will not cheat,lie or steal!
Diyan ka nagkakamali Kgg. The Equilizer? The Yellow Fever are the remnant of EDSA DOS na ngayon e siyang nagpapahirap sa ating bayan.
Ang bilis nýong makalimot…mga Igan? Ang linaw…si Tita Cory e nag I am SORRY na about sa kapalpakan nila sa pagsuporta kay gloria.
Tita Cory’s Yellow Fever, Church leaders, civil society, elitists, Military/PNP, Abugago Hudlum in Uniforms, leftists at walang paki-party ang siyang dahilan sa paghihirap natin ngayon.
Sige ipaliwanag nýo ang almost 10-years ni gloria sa Malacanang…ano ba ang nangyari sa Pinas at sa inyong mga buhay?
Ngayon ang lakas ng loob nýo na suportahan ang Yellow Fever…sila yong promotor ng EDSA 1 & 2…ayaw nýo talagang tumahimik ang Pinas, sige magsihirit kayo at halos kayo din ang maiingay sa kalye?
Puro kayo pahirap sa bayan?
Nasaan ang demokrasya na inyong pinangangalandakan? Ang EDSA UNO ang sagisag ng hidwaang Aquino vs. Marcos na until now e pati ang Bayan Pinas damay sa kanilang ka ek-ekan?
Di pa sila nasiyahan…heto humirit pa naging EDSA DOS, na siyang kumitil sa pag-asa ng Masang Pilipino?
Sa simpleng pang-unawa…sa halip na maresolba ang problema ng Aquino-Marcos e idinamay pa ang Masang Pilipino?
Lalong lumaki ang problema…Marcos loyalists + Masang Pilipino against Yellow Fever and co.?
At saka sa website ni Erap nandoon ang mga accomplishments nya mula ng naging mayor sya ng San Juan, erap.ph ang site.
Ang tanong ko sa iyo ngayon Ka Enchong, ano naman ang accomplishments ni Noynoy mula ng naging senador sya?
Ang galing mo Kgg. XMAN…ang datos mo ang di alam ng marami nating kababayang Pinoy kasi nga e bulag sila sa katotohanan?
Ang alam lang basahin e PDI, PCIJ o kaya mga babasahin na ang balita e bayad na?
Kaya nagpuputok ang aking butse sa mga kapwa nating Pinoy na row four ang takbo ng kukote…ang hirap pagpaliwanagan at ang hina sa arithmitic.
Nag mamarunong sila pero mga bobo naman? Inagaw nilang ang Malacanang upang mapagtakpan nila ang kanilang mga kagaguhan sa buhay…puro sila sinungaling at magnanakaw?
Dapat kasi magbasa kayo sa superhighway ni Pangulong Erap (www.erap.ph) at nandoon ang ilang mga datos na dapat nýong malaman. Ang hirap sa inyong one-sided lang ang alam ng inyong mga utak.
Sino ba ang may pinakamalaking human right violations diba si Tita Cory, next si Tabako at si Macoy…pero si Pangulong Erap ano? Di ba maginoo at iginalang ang karapatan ng lahat at bawat isa, napasakop sa batas pero ano ang ginawa ng mga abugago natin di ba pinagkaisahan ng kanilang mga sinungaling ng kukote sa pangunguna ni Davide at Simeon Marcelo at iba pa.
Granting na may mga accomplishments si AMA ng MASA kuno, paano naman ang kanyang mga kasalanan? Just close your eyes to his evil ways dahil marami siyang accomplishments? Ganoon na lang?
Oust Gloria. No to Trapos!
Igan, BALWEG, sa iyo ko ata unang nakita ang erap.ph kaya hiniram ko lang sayo yan, salamat sa pag post mo noon tungkol jan sa erap.ph.
Tolingmulto, paki lista mo nga ang mga kasalanan ni Erap o mga corruptions ni Erap? Ang ipinag tataka ko ay six years syang nilitis ng arroyo sandiganbayan pero ala silang nakitang corruptions kundi yong manufactured corruptions lang para maging legal yung coup d’etat ni pandak.
Kaibigan, hindi lahat ng kasalanan ni erap ay nilitis sa sandiganbayan but definitely his acts were inappropriate para sa isang lider. I don’t want to sound libelous dahil magalit si Ellen. Please try to read old newspapers during erap’s term to referesh your memory. Kahit hindi PDI dahil galit kayo dyan.
totingmulto,
what about Gloria’s ‘kasalanans’?
Chi,
atty sax, I don’t like Erap to withdraw, hindi exciting ang eleksyon kung wala sya.
Hah! I think you are right. Erap, as a citizen, should be allowed to challenge the wannabes. He’s actually giving them the chance to present their position with aplomb.
AdeBrux,
Siyempre si Gloria ang pinaka evil sa lahat. I just did point to those who push erap to run again that erap is history. He was given the chance pero pinalpak nya.
Erap’s greed for power is only weakening the opposition at sigurado na ang panalo ng manok ni gloria- si noli kabayad o si gibo.
Totungmulto,
Erap’s greed for power
I’m not sure it’s “greed for power”… it’s perhaps more about his need to prove himself, i.e., that he’s not the corrupt person that he’s been accused of. A normal politician’s reaction (politician Gloria the ganid included).
Now, whether this political move of his is a good thing or a bad thing is another issue altogether.
