Takot raw si Joc-joc Bolante, dating undersecretary ng agriculture at matalik na kaibigan ni Mike Arroyo, sa New People’s Army kaya siya humihingi ngayon ng asylum sa Amerika.
Ang asylum ay binibigay ng isang bayan sa national ng ibang bansa na namimiligro ang buhay sa kanyang bansa dahil sa kalupitan ng ginagawa sa kanya.
Dapat matuwa ang NPA at epektibo pala sila sa mga taong nang-abuso ng kanilang kapangyarihan nang sila ay nasa poder. Si Bolante ay nakaharap sa imbestigasyon ng Senado tungkol sa sobra P3 bilyon na pera para sa magsasaka na kanyang ginamit para sa kampanya ni Gloria Arroyo noong 2004. Kasama doon ang P728 milyon na pambili ng abono ng mga mahirap na magsasaka.
Nahuli ng U.S. Immigration si Bolante noong July 7 sa Los Angeles nang siya ay nagtangkang pumasok sa United States gamit ang kanselado na business at tourist visa. Kaagad siya nag-apply ng asylum. Nakakulong siya ngayon sa San Pedro Processing Center. May hearing raw siya sa susunod na linggo ay inaasahan na yun ang gagamitin niyang rason bakit hindi siya dapat ibalik dito sa Pilipinas.
Suspetsa ng marami na strategy lang nina Bolante at nina Arroyo ang pagpahuli sa Amerika para siya maka-apply ng asylum. Maari naman siyang mag-post ng bond na sinabi sa report ay $100,000. Aabutin raw ng tatlo hanggang limang taon ang pagdining ng asylum application. Kaya manatili doon si Bolante sa Amerika.
Akala ng marami noon sa Senado siya takot. Sa NPA pala. TNT (Tago ng tago) na ngayon sa NPA si Bolante.
Maniniwala akong tatargitin siya ng NPA. Sa dami ba namang mahihirap na magsasaka na kanilang pinerwisyo. At siyempre hindi naman makakuha ng hustisya ang mga magsasaka dahil hawak nina Arroyo ang korte. Tingnan mo ang nangyayari sa isinampa nina Frank Chavez na kaso laban kay Bolante sa Ombudsman. Inaamag. Kaya hindi nakakapagtaka kung NPA justice ang hahabol sa kanya.
Inis na inis si Harry Roque, professor sa University of the Philippines College of Law
na malawak ang karanasan sa kasong asylum dahil ito ay para sa mga taong inosente na inuusig ng mga walanghiyang na sa poder.
Si Bolante ay kasama sa mga walanghiyang nasa poder. Sila ang nagpapahirap sa mga inosenteng tao. Siya ang lumabag sa batas. Siya ang gumawa ng krimen. Tapos siya pa ang may ganang humingi ng proteksyon sa batas.
Itong ginagawa ni Bolante ay nagpapakita na kahit marami siyang pera, kahit malapit siya sa nasa poder, hindi pa rin siya nagkakaroon ng mapayapang pamumuhay.
Tama ang kasabihan na “You can run but you cannot forever hide. (Pwede kang tumakbo ngunit hindi ka habang buhay magtatago.”
Ito ang tinatawag na abuso bansot style. Gagamitin ang NPA for convenience to seek assylum, and then turn around to make NPA as reason to allocate billions of peoples money for the military to exterminate the NPA. It would be interesting to see if bansot can get away with insulting the intelligence of dubya.
Talaga, Alitaptap. Hindi ko alam kung bibilib ako sa katalinuhan nila o pandirihan ko sila sa kanilang kawalang hiyaan.
Si Joc Joc ba iyang nasa pic or si Mike Pidal? Magkamukha sila ah…
The latest feedback is that Gloria’s government is meeting US Embassy officials for a top level discussion on Bolante’s case. That only shows how sensitive and important Bolante is to this Arroyo government.
By policy, the US doesn’t recognize threats from NPA as ground for granting asylum. Many tried and failed. If Bolante is granted such relief, then it’s obviously a government to government secret deal to protect this fake leader’s crimes.
Hi all,
Iba talagang “inspiration” si bansot. I averaged 227 in my 4-game series. And I never scored that high before.
This Joc-Joc is one big joke. With the NPAs branded by the U.S. as terrorist, he’s got a chance he’ll be accommodated by the U.S. I’m starting to smell something fishy. We could all have been taken for a ride. Could it be a result of backchannel talks with the U.S.? The Australians have also done this with the administration. Soon we’ll have Aussies in our backyard too. No wonder this leprechaun is so sure she’ll get the funds she needs for her theme park. Mukhang nabenta na ni bansot ang Pilipinas.
Yang DFA na yan pag-kampi kay Glorya, tikom ang bibig nila pero pag anti gaya ni Aquino, wala pang isang minuto may balita na. BAKIT????? Gaya din yong mga suspect sa coup, agad sinasabi at may kaso na agad, pero yang Garci at joc-joc na yan, lahat sila ay tikom ang bibig.BAKIT???? GANYAN BA TALAGA KA-TUSO YANG MGA ARROYONG YAN. WALA NA BANG TATAYO AT LALABAN SA MGA YAN. NASAAN SILA BONIFACIO, RIZAL AT NINOY. SINASABI NATIN KUNG GAANO KASAMA SI PRES. MARCOS NOON PERO YON PALA AY MAS MASAMA PA PALA ANG MGA PAPALIT.
Schumey: WOW! Congratulations! that’s a lot of hits to the head of Pandak (assuming she’s the target). Siguradong gulpi sarado ang mukha niya sa daming hits na ginawa mo. Bowling is really one of the outlets in stress-relief.
Napakatagal naman ang inabot upang makagawa sila ng alibi na sa New People’s Army pala takot si Bolante at hindi sa mga pagtatanong ni Magsaysay sa Senado. Ang babaw na dahilan.
Abangan natin ang gagawin ng US sa controversial na kasong pagkakakulong ni Bolante.
Ana, ang picture na yan ay yun bang sabi ni goldenlion na Da Bansot Code – tracing relatives of fat guy and bansot.
Emilio,
Thanks, I was surprised myself. I’d love to hit her with a bowling ball. Her physique even resemble a bowling pin. Parang penguin.
Ang unang balita ko, ang US Embassy sa Manila ang nagpakansel ng visa ni Hok-hok. Siguro kakutsaba dito si Pandak. Para hindi na pahuli si Hok-hok sa Pinas upang tumistigo sa kanilang mga kabalbalan, NPA ang ginawang dahilan para mag-apply ng Asylum. Madaling napa-paniwala nila ang US embassy because NPA is listed as a terrorist organization in their books. Magagaling silang dumiskarta sa mga kawalanghiyaan, sa kabutihan puro palpak.
Kung abutin man ng tatlo hanggang limang taon ang hearing ng asylum application (assuming na tanggapin ng USA ang application niya), basta nakakulong siya the whole time, okay na ring partial na parusa kay Bolante, IMHO. Marami daw milagrong nangyayari sa mga kulungan, kahit dito sa USA. Mula nung 9/11 ay tuwing dalawang buwan halos na nagdo-donate ako ng blood sa Red Cross. Tuwing donation ay sang-katerbang questions ang required na sagutin ko. Kabilang na dito ay kung nakulong ako ng mahigit na 72 hours at kung “yes” ang answer ko, hindi tatanggapin ang dugo ko dahil delikado sa AIDS. Hindi na nila hihintaying testingin ang dugo ko pagka-donate. Stop na ang process at pauuwiin na ako. Of course hindi pa ito nangyari sa akin kahit minsan. Hindi lang tinanggap ang dugo ko for one year after nung last na uwi ko sa Pilipinas nung 2003 dahil sa possibility ng malaria.
When one applies for asylum in the US, he doesn’t necessarily have to be detained. In fact, he is entitled to work by applying for work permit while the case is pending. Many illegals resorted to filing frivolous asylum cases but still got the due process allowed by the US Federal and Immigration laws. The case can be appealed. Many went the other routes while the case is pending such as marrying US citizens. Many succeeded. All one needs is to hire a good immigration lawyer. That’s who it works in the US. Bolante and his cohorts could have long planned for this. This asylum thing didn’t come at a spur of the moment. Obviously, it was a well planned legal strategy.
Unconfirmed report has it that the US donated a huge sum of money in Arroyo’s government fertilizer program that was stolen by Bolante. Hence, he was arrested and detained with a bail of $100,000.
No one and not even the US will buy Bolante’s reason for asylum application pointing to NPA. Why? Can’t GMA’s Police and Military protect him from NPA? I can see the US immigration judge denying his application outright. But, the process must still be followed and this includes appeals. So, we’re looking at a few years of stay for Bolante in US.
Target daw ng NPA!??? How I wish it were true!
On second thought, BAKIT hindi nga ba tinatarget ng NPA ang mga may sala sa Bayan, gaya ng mga pekeng kilala natin dito?
Kung sa bawa’t kasalanan nila, eh may palusot….di ba dapat lang na ma-target na nga yUNG MGA KORAP nang manahimik na ang mga pamamalakad sa Bayan….
Nakakasuya na eh!
Ellen, Si Joc Joc Bolante ba talaga iyang nasa picture? Bakit parang si Mike Arroyo? Habang tumatagal ay nagiging isa ang mga mukha nila. Hindi kaya kambal ang dalawang fat guys? Oh! my goodness??? Sabi ko nga sa mga nauna kong mensahe, baka sabwatan lang ng US at ni bansot ang paghingi ng asylum ni bolante para matakasan ang pag-uusig ng bayan sa kanya. Kaso, nagkamali si bansot, hindi niya naalala na marami nga pala silang ipinagkatiwalang mga pera at ari-arian kay bolante na nabisto ni Uncle Sam. Por diyos por santo!!! Isang empleyado lang ng Department of Agriculture nakakabili ng mga mansions, villas at sangkatutak ang pera?? O, bakit hindi magugulat si Sam?
Anak ng jueteng!! Ang maganda na sa mga nangyayari, unti-unti nang nabubuksan ang pandora’s box….sumisingaw na ang baho at hindi lang dito sa bansang binaboy ng mga Arroyo umalingasaw ang baho, pati sa bansa ng milk and honey. Papayag ba si Sam na ang milk at honey ay bumaho?? Nungka!!
Ngayon kung talagang kamag-anak nga ni St. Rita de Avila ang fatso man, sige mike humingi ka na ng tulong sa iyong Lola Rita. Tingnan ko nga kung magkadugo kayo?
Aling Glenda, ay!! aling gloria pala, masyado kang paranoid para sabihin na si bolante ay papatayin ng NPA. Kasi kung totoo iyon aba!! dapat isama ka mga papatayin ng NPA, dahil mas marami ang nakurakot mo, at mas malaki ang mga kasalanan mo sa bayan. Baka gusto mo rin humingi ng asylum ke Sam? Paano iyan, miss black magic woman?….mukhang nawawala na ang bisa ng magic wand mo? MALAPIT NA!!! NABABANAAG KO NA ANG BUKANG LIWAYWAY. PANIBAGONG KWENTO SA DAHON NG KASAYSAYAN!!
Tom…regarding dun sa sabi mo na “puwede na rin, basta makulong diyan sa US si Jocjoc…dahil sa mga milagro na nagaganap sa loob”. Ok sana, kaso baka hindi naman siya “isama” dun sa mga may criminal cases like robbery, murder, o rape. Maganda nga sana, kung duon siya ilagay sa selda na puno ng mga Blacks at Latinos…hehehe, tignan ko lang kundi paglabas niyang si Jocjoc, talagang jho-se-lin na ang bigkas sa pangalan niya…kasi sa ngayon puwede pang ho-se-lin…parang Jose baga…hehehe. Besides, observing what happened to “MJ” the “good” congressman of Manila…nang lumaya buhat sa US at bumalik sa Pilipinas, parang me naiwang isang turnilyo duon sa selda niya.
Ma’m Ellen, hindi kaya malayong kamag-anak ni “Wowowilly” yang si Bolante…me pagkakahawig sila eh. 😉
Dapat mauna sa target list ng NPA si glenda pidal:
Reason? Command reponsibility ang madaa- paka- na yan…
SIYA ang may pakana ng lahat!
Speaking of the NPAs…panakot lagi nitong sina gloria…gustong mag-hari ng mga “komunista”…ang CPP-NPA na komunista….trying to picture to all of us that this group they are labeling as “communist” are BAD. Tanong ko lang sa mga kasama…hindi pa ba kayo nagsasawa sa isyu na MASAMA ang “communism” ayon sa grupo ni gloria? Kanino ba siya may “MALALAKING DEAL”, ayon na rin kay Nonong An-daya, to finance her “dream” infrastructure projects…hindi ba’t sa bansang People’s Republic of China, na isang bansang KOMUNISTA? History 101, sa komunistang bansa..kesyo walang “kalayaan” daw mamahayag ang mga tao, ano ba nangyayari ngayon sa Pilipinas? Maituturing ba na “talagang” malaya sa pamamahayag ang mga sibilyan? Sa komunista, kontrolado daw ng pamahalaan ang mga negosyo…hindi ba’t ganiyan na rin ang ginagawa nina gloria sa ngayon? Kung me komunista sa ating bansa….yan sina gloria…kailan MAGIGISING SA KATOTOHANAN si Juan at Juana dela Cruz na “binubulag” lang talaga sila ni gloria…KAILAN???
Goldenlion, St. Teresa de Avila, hindi St. Rita. Ikaw, ha. Halatang hindi mahilig magpilgrimage sa mga santa.
Tingnan mo siya, kunwari hanapin ang kamag-nak na santa, napunta pala sa Lugano, third major banking center of Switzerland. At ibang “santa” ang kasama. “E” ang unang letter ng pangalan.
Could it be Santa Elena? I think there’s such a street in Binondo where Vicky Toh used to live.
Here’s a bit of off topic update on Ambassador Del Rosario. For those who still don’t believe he was fired, here’s about him and what he said:
Former Philippine Ambassador to the United States Alberto del Rosario yesterday belied Malacañang’s announcement that he resigned from his post as he challenged President Arroyo to exercise political will and to “do what is right” for the country.
In his first public statement since returning home from Washington early this month, Del Rosario, who spoke before the Makati Business Club, said “I stand by my original statement that I was recalled and I don’t want to dwell on it. I think I like to move on.”
lalong masisira ang reputasyon ng America kapag binigyan ng asylum yang si josie-lyn bolante. so ngayon, inaamin niya na sa buong mundo na may takot din pala siya? bakit sa npa, at hindi sa Diyos? noong minadyik niya yung fertilizer funds, naisip niya ba na yung mga maapektuhan, mga magsasaka na kahit paano may simpatiya sa mga npa (kung baga meron pang npa kuno), or the other way around.
ngayon, ginawa pang katawa-tawa. yan na nga ba sinasabi ko, dahil sa mga kabulastugang ginawa, kahit siguro sa anino niya, natatakot na. siguro, pareho rin sila ni glenda pidal na di makatulog, lalo na at walang ilaw. kasi nga, paranoid na, dahil sa ginawang mga katarantaduhan.
Ellen:
Mabuti ka pa nakakasulat ka sa dyaryo at kaya mong batikusin ang mga ungas na ito, pero kami hanggang dito na lang sa mga blog na ito. Kaya salamat sa imbita mo dito. Kahit papaano nakaka-share ng damdamin at nalalaman lalo na doon sa hindi alam na may mga karapatan sila sa batas na hindi ibinibigay sa kanila!!!
Gosh, hindi ko matapos-tapos ang translation ko’t hingi ako ng hingi ng extension kasi na-addict na ako dito. May mga private exchanges pa ito ha.
Dito natin malalaman ngayon kung kakuchaba ang US dito sa kaso ni Bolate depende sa magiging takbo ng kaso ng kumag. Golly, talaga naman ang Pandak. Pati iyong sentensya ni Aquino sa Amerika e kino-congratulate niya ang kaniya sarili. OK, alam naman nating sila ang nagpahuli kay Aquino para matisod nila si Lacson na inaakala ni Pandak na siyang talagang malakas na kalaban niya kaya nga pinainan nila si Aquino ng Aragoncillo na kung sinu-sino naman palang kino-contact! Ang gulo! Kawawang Lacson na sana ay hindi bumalimbing!!! Kaya ako ayoko ng mga secret combinations na ito gawa nang iyan ay sa demonyo!
Meanwhile, this is a good chance for all Filipinos to write to some California solons to make sure that this crook pays for his crime lalo na iyong mga matitinong lawmakers sa Tate na ina-uphold pa rin ang prinsipyo ng kanilang Constitution at batas.
I am in the mailing lists of two of these prominent California lawmakers, and if you are interested, I can give it to you and you may distribute their addies to those interested to write them. Better do so on your discretion kasi baka susulat din ang mga Internet Brigader ni Pandak in favor of the Bolate.
One thing good about progressive societies like Japan’s and the US’s is that signature campaigns actually work to bring a change kasi hindi naman gawa-gawa lang katulad sa Philippines na idinadaan sa signature for a 100 or a 1000 pesos depende sa kung sinong pipirma!!!
Tarantado din, di ba? O sino ngayon ang nagugulangan? E di itong mga gunggong na nagpapagamit na akala mo hindi sila maaapektuhan ng pagkampi nila sa ginagawa ng mga walanghiya.
Isang masamang ugali talaga na dapat maalis para sa ikabubuti ng bansa, ang mawala ang indifference ng mga tao! Pero wais talaga, kasi ginugutom ng husto ang mga taumbayan para manghina sa utak, katawa at pati na siguro sa kaluluwa!
Gosh, Ellen, kapag nakita mo ang mga interview na ipapadala ko sa iyo, kukulo lalo ang dugo mo! Still, I cannot understand why Filipinos would allow themselves to be treated like commodities for sale overseas, not as human beings who deserve the care and respect that these public servants should render them.
Iyan ang dapat ipaintindi sa mga pilipino na hindi sila ang alipin ng mga nakaupo kundi sila ang mga boss ng mga kumag na pinapaupo nila sa puwesto sa pamamagitan ng mga boto nila. Iyong arte ni Pandak, dito iyan, hindi iyan uubra!!!
Tanggal agad iyan! Lalo na kung magnanakaw na sinungaling pa.
BTW, maganda iyong tawag nila ngayon sa SONA ni Pandak. Hindi daw SONA kundi SANA kasi ang iprenesenta, hindi accomplishment kundi fantasia niya. Hindi ba sinabi na natin iyan na ang pag-uusapan ay ang tungkol sa kaniyang Enchanted Kingdom.
Ang sinasabi niya in fact ay hindi na siya aalis hanggang sa mamamatay siya at walang puedeng makapagpaalis sa kaniya. Oh yeah? Tignan natin!
Many people still don’t know what a political asylum is. The recent Bolante case and his reported application for asylum all the more has made this topic more interesting. May this information benefit you all:
Some people consider asylum as a possibility in order to stay in the United States. They wonder what the requirements are for asylum. First, let us address the issue about requirements.
The law states that an asylum application must be filed within the United States once someone has arrived. People who are afraid for their safety while still in their home country can apply for refugee status at a U.S. embassy, but cannot apply for asylum at the embassy.
These are the requirements to file in the U.S. (1) The applicant must file within one year after arriving in the United States. He can also file for immediate family members, which includes spouses and children who are under 21. The form needed is called Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, Form I-589. (2) The applicant must be able to prove that he or she is of a certain social group that is being harmed or mistreated by the government of the home country, or that the government would allow harm by other groups with the government’s knowledge. (3) The person applying for Asylum must prove (by evidence including letters and witnesses) that he or she has been specifically pointed out for persecution. That person must be able to describe in exact detail, with credible testimony, the kind of persecution that he or she faced in the home country. (4) The applicant must also be able to prove, that if returned to the home country, he or she would face even more persecution.
The U.S. government assesses country conditions in the home country of the applicant. At the asylum interview, the asylum officer will assess the facts and determine whether the applicant was personally persecuted in the past; or, if conditions are now better in the country, the applicant no longer needs asylum protection. The applicant will be asked if he or she fears being returned to the home country. (5) The applicant will be asked if he or she has ever applied for asylum in any other country and also asked what countries he or she has resided in prior to coming to the U.S.
All questions must be answered honestly to demonstrate that the application is not frivolous. This point is important. If the interviewing officer determines that the application was made frivolously, then the applicant will not be able to secure any other type of immigration benefit, such as a family petition filed in the future.
All asylum applications must be timely. That means that if it is filed more than one year after arrival in the U.S., the application will be turned down because it was not filed on a “timely” basis. It is possible to file after a year only if it can be proved conditions in the home country have changed and it is even more dangerous to go back. There must be proof that there are new, specific, and personal threats against the applicant if the application is filed after the one-year deadline. This is very difficult to prove and most people fail if they file for asylum more than a year after coming to the U.S.
A person applying for asylum can stay in the United States for quite a long time as long as the case is being decided. Once a person applies they are called an “asylee applicant.” There will be no effort on the part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove an asylee applicant until all interviews and hearings have concluded. Oftentimes, this can take a number of years. Also, 150 days after a person applies, he or she can get a temporary work permit as long as a final decision has not been made. It is important to file for the temporary work permit after waiting the 150 days, because the work permit will not automatically be given. Lately, the Immigration Service has been opposing the work permit applications of some asylees on technical grounds. In all asylum cases, the applicant needs to get the services of a good immigration lawyer. With the work permit, the applicant and family members in the U.S. can get a social security number and a driver’s license.

I dont know with “the joke” claiming he’s in the hit list of the NPA as a lame excuse for him to seek asylum in the US of A??? him being the friend of the big fatso??? i dont even know if the NPA could even close to him. People, know what??? this is the same tactic/s being done by friends of the marcoses during the martial law years, the tactic/s is used so that people will not be questioned here in the Pinas. “The joke” is not being persecuted here in the Philippines, much more he is being protected by the higher up, he is being told seek asylum by the people in the palace so he could hide from the people who want him to speak the truth about the fertilizer mess.
jinx
Thanks, Npongco. If this (“With the work permit, the applicant and family members in the U.S. can get a social security number and a driver’s license.”) happens to Bolante, his strategy succeeds.
How long do you think, he would stay in detention?
Statement from Information Bureau,Communist Party of the Philippines on Bolante:
Statement of Sen. Rodolfo Biazon:
27 July 2006
Ms. Ellen, I know it has been written weeks ago regarding the request of the senate to the US Embassy on the case of “the joke”, to which the embassy replied that they should course it thru proper diplomatic channel. I agree that all communications must be coursed thru the diplomatic channel. But wait, …………why is it that the US embassy writing directly to malacanan, the senate, the hous of representaTHIEVES and other government agencies, is that the proper diplomatic channel??? if the US embassy can do it why not our government institutions can’t do the same??? the US is treating us with double standards, again and again.

Hi Yuko, re:”Mabuti ka pa nakakasulat ka sa dyaryo at kaya mong batikusin ang mga ungas na ito, pero kami hanggang dito na lang sa mga blog na ito.”
I’m thankful of the opportunity that I have been given through my columns and this blog to be of service to the public. I value it dearly. And I try to the best of my ability to use it wisely.
Blog is becoming to be the modern media. I thank you and everybody participating in the discussion here, whether I agree with your opinion or not, because it helps all of us in understanding the problems confronting us.
An informed citizenry is the best deterrent to oppression and inhumanity. I hope this blog helps towards that end.

Sorry for being off-topic again:
Anyhow, its like this: heard that manny villar is being sorry for railroading the impeachment of erap in 2000(???). kapal muks din naman talaga ano, its just good that erap showed him how a man should be, like telling his (erap’s) wife and son to support villar for the senate presidency.
Now he is being sorry for railraoding the impeachment??? tsk, tsk, tsk….. (may kunsensya naman pala) As I said before ms. ellen, i don’t trust this guy, imagine he is directly/indirectly involved in putting the man in jail for 5 years without conviction, now he is being sorry???@?!)*&^% NA NYA, saying history will be the judge. But how can you judge the man??? tapos lalapit din pala sya kay erap para makuha and senate presidency. !@#$?*&^ NA TALAGA ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA.
On the side, what will happen next, you know that he is close to the pulos yabang na si noli, na wala rin namang ginagawa. haaaaaayyyyyy buhay nga naman, talaga namannnnnnn……@!#!$?)(*&^%!!!!!!!

What a flimsy excuse this Bolate has in fact! He should in fact be an original, and the Pandak should feel embarrased for this unfounded claim for it only proves that she is only talk and no walk!
Look, over in Japan for instance, we have such underground and criminal organizations as the Yakuza, Red Army, Aum, etc.but I doubt if the US would grant a Japanese national asylum simply on the ground that his life is threatened by the Red Army, Yakuza, etc. and the US government would readily grant asylum on such absurd claim.
Parang sinabi ng Bolate na ito na kontrolado ng mga NPA ang buong Pilipinas as itong si Pandak na kaibigan niya ay hindi siya kayang protektahan sa mga NPA, and by this claim in fact makes the Pandak looks really ridiculous with all those claims that she is ready to face her enemies because she is that powerful and can crush and defeat them all!
Isn’t this in fact a contradiction of all the claims of the Pandak in her SANA speech, and that she is in fact contradicting her own self? And if she is not in connivance with all this fiasco of the Bolate arrest, why is she is not telling the Americans that she can protect the Bolate in the Philippines against the NPA as she claimed she could in her SANA? Sa katarantaduhan ng aleng ito at ng mga alipores niya nagkakandagulo sila ngayon especially when she has to agree that her government cannot actually defeat the NPA especially now that she has declared war with them, but even then, Bolate’s claim will look ridiculous and absurd especially when the Americans demand from the Pandak an explanation of what she has been doing with the money the US government has been giving her to fight terrorism in the Philippines!
Diyan mo makikita ngayon na puro lang pala dada itong si Pandak at walang ibubuga. Ang tawag diyan sa Tagalog ay “manduduro” o nanakot lang pero kapag pinatulan at hinarap ng kalaban ay kakaripas na takbo!!! Marunong lang ngang mandaya, manakot, magnakaw at magsinungaling.
Hindi komo gulo ang isip ng mga kano ngayon ay akala ni Pandak, Fatso at Bolate ay kaya nilang bilugin ang mga kano. Humahanap sila ng panakip butas e lalo naman nilang pinalaki ang kanilang mga butas.
BTW, bakit nga ba kamukhang-kamukha ni Fatso itong si Bolate. Hindi kaya sila magkakambal o magkapatid sa labas?
FVR on gloria, Bolante and the US
Jinx,
Huwag mong sisihin masyado ang mga kano. Pilipino din ang may gusto niyang kung bakit sila dinidihado ng mga kano. Look, kahit na akala mo parang tanga ang mga hapon, hindi nakakalusot ang mga kano sa kanila. Pa-wais-san Like kung may request ang mga kano sa gobyerno from the US embassy, lahat iyan ay coursed through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs except when there is a special ruling agreed upon like in the case of criminal investigations of suspected criminal offenders for example inside the base na walang mga immunity hindi katulad noong mga nasa embassy. Sana ganyan din sa Pilipinas para naman hindi magmukhang alipin pa rin ng mga kano ang mga pilipino.
Iyan ang dapat natin ipamukha sa mga kano—na the days of the occupation of the Philippines are over matagal na! Kahit na noon lang pumutok ang Mt. Pinatubo!!!
Jinx:
I give you five. Ako rin ayoko ng mga taong double standard, which Villar is. UP alumni iyan pero mukhang walang ginagawa para protektahan ang university niya kahit man lamang iyong pagpapahanap sa dalawang istudyanteng nawawala na baka patay na!!! Heaven forbid!!!
Ellen:
Puedeng makakuha ng Social Security card si Bolate kung payagan siyang mag-stay sa US para makaligtas sa prosecution sa Pilipinas ng mga “NPA” na nasa Senate katulad ni Magsaysay, et al (Joke only), pero sa palagay ko hindi siya papayagang magtrabaho as an employee of any company kasi pihado not for employment ang card na ibibigay sa kaniya. But he can open his own business and earn money on his own. Marami akong kakilalang galing dito na hindi binigyan ng refugee status kaya ipinasa sa Tate. Iyong isa nga writer who now lives on royalties of his books. Kaya as far as livelihood is concerned, walang problema iyan. Ang problema ay may criminal case si Bolate sa Pilipinas and government level ang nature. Kapag hindi pinagbigyan ng America na ma-solve ang kasong ito ay lumalabas na palpak sila na dapat at tumutulong sila sa pagbatikos ng mga ganitong anomalya lalo na’t reflection ito ng kung papaano nila hinubog ang Pilipinas!!!
Iyan ang dapat na tema ng panlaban sa amor propio ng mga kano! If you touch them on their psyche, umaalma ang mga iyan at hindi papayag na lokohin sila ng isa lamang pandak from some country na most Americans kahit na sinakop nila do not even recognize!!! Buti pa nga Hapon kilala. Kaya itong mga kano ang tingin sa akin minsan ay isang Tsina! Yuck!
Tama ka Ellen in what you wrote, “An informed citizenry is the best deterrent to oppression and inhumanity. I hope this blog helps towards that end.”
Kaya I relate my personal experiences and what I have come to know why Japan has succeeded to even be with the biggies in the world despite its size and almost zero in natural resources but people who are kept in the country, nurtured and nourished to be useful unlike in the Philippines na hinuhubog ang mga pilipino na walang kuwenta ang bansa nila kaya lumayas sila at maging export ng bansa nila na pingungunahan ng isang bansot na bugaw!!! Sabi ko ay baka makakuha ng idea ang mga pilipino at maging determined na palayasin ang bugaw!
Cheers! Ingat ka pirmi!
hmp…nxt time hihingi ng asylum si fatso…sa lugano..hekhekhek…kasama kabit nya. pwe!!!!…cant imagine dat woman to be lovey dovey with fatso?!?!?!?..this bolate shud be fed to the taliban or mga fanatics na mahilig mag-jihad..pero may esep din sya ha. he didnt dare step on European soil kc Sison is jst at arms length wherever he might be…hehehe…mga walang b-t–g talaga.
Ha, ha, ha, pahiya ako Ellen!! Thank you for correcting me. St. Teresa de Avila nga pala. News this afternoon, si aling gloria/glenda ay maysakit daw kaya hindi naentertain ang Black Eyed Peas. Bakit kaya malimit magkasakit ngayon si bansot? Ang sabi ng aking Ina noong nabubuhay pa siya, ang tao daw pag masama ang puso at isip laging nagkakasakit. Totoo nga pala!!!! Buti na lang medyo nahuli ang dating ng grupong ito dito sa bansa natin. Kung nagkataon baka isama pa sila ni bansot sa kanyang SONA. Sasabihin niya, kadugo nila si Pineda, iyong pinoy member ng Black Eyed Peas!

Bakit nga ba magkamukhang-magkamukha si Fatso at ang Bolateng ito? Iisa ba ang mga magulang niyan?
Yuko,
Yes, the come from the same father, si Lucifer.
What compelled the US to act like what they did to Bolante was her donations given to the fertilizer projects. American money was involved; hence, they got him.
The US is known for respecting due process especially if an accused is represented by a private lawyer. So in the meantime, we just have to give up on wishing that Bolante be sent back to Manila to answer for his crime which of course directly is pointed to Malacanang. From my experience and what I know, Bolante should be enjoying his stay in the US for at least three or even four years. If he’s denied his asylum application by the judge after hearings which is most likely, he has two options: To appeal the case or request for voluntary departure.
Schumey:
Yeah! Lucifer ang tatay nila? Bakit si Mrs. Mother of Lies and Deceit e si Lucifer ang Father of Lies and Deceit! Confusing naman!

Nilabas na ni Biazon ang China Connection na sinasabi ng Mr. ko, who does not do business in the Philippines kahit na ang products namin ay distributed na sa buong Asia, kahit na sa China. Between Mainland China and Taiwan, mas gusto niya ang Taiwan. Kasi iyong mga intsik sa Mainland maraming magnanakaw ng technical know-how. Sa Fookien na pinanggalingan ng mga kalahi ng mga magulang ni Pidal, Cojuangco, Yuchengco, et al ay maraming magnanakaw! At least, iyan ang impression dito at pinapatunayan naman ng mga kaibigan kong intsik na galing Shanghai.
In short, meron din silang regionalism sa China na ayon sa mga intsik ay center of the universe!!!
…buti nalang di kumagat ang papa ko noon…biruin m, may mga nag-aalok sa kanya taga camp crame(’70s) isama daw sa surplus importation nya mga powder na gamot!…my father, being a naive mainland native have a good intuition n told my mom about it…e, promdi sila pareho (hehehe in a sense)..not knowing anything, my dad rejected the offer. Buti nalang…now we know what it is this white powder they were offering my dad…and as far as i remember, these containers were passing by HK frm Japan cz my dad were importing surplus tires frm Japan….sadly all stopped when macoy banned the importation of tires due to the american giants wanting to monopolize the tire industry way back then…masakit yuko talaga but the truth hurts that most(almost 90%) chinaman roaming the chinatown area are hoodlums. the tsinoys right now are being casts aside bec hindi sila ganun ka-agressive ng mga taga mainland na baguhan ngayon. as my hubby said, mahilig din sila sa bahala na kung mahuli…kung hindi swerte!..kawawang ‘Pinas!
sa totoo lang, till now..most of the containers landing in the port area ay may mga basbas na ng kung sino-sinong padrino. yung mga pakyeme maglagay ang nakikita natin sa TV at newspaper. even like the time of noli kayabang, ang mga expose kuno nya ay may mga abiso na “we have this story and video about u/u pay we dont show/u dont pay, lagot ka!”..kaya nga ba ang bilis ng yaman din nyan…sabi ni bruha tatanggalin ang red tape…dadami ang tape worm lalo kamo!!!! malapit ng magpasko d b, the early bird catches many worms hehehe
Yes soleil…indeed. Whatever happened to that smuggling case against Vicky Toh and her brother Tomas? Nothing.
u said it npongco…sila sila naman kasi maghahatian…pambayad nila sa mga vacation houses nila yan at pang-savings nga naman sa kanilang napipintong election. remember – from aparri to jolo, buong bansa, bubulagain nila na kanila na!!!!
Yuko, you are right (Dapat ang sagot mo, “Me? Ako iyong “E”? Ano ko, sira ulo? Ayokong malahian ng demonyo ang mga anak ko!” ).
Ngeeeek talaga!
Persecution of Jocelyn Bolate by Ka Roger is nothing but bunch of malarkey and we all know it, Gloria Arroyo knows it and everybody and his uncles and aunts knows it. It’s all but to save Gloria’s butt and everyone are being bought and sold including the U.S. Immigration. It’s very clear, Bolate stole the money with directions from Bonnie and Clyde Arroyo and Bolate can’t account for it or refuse to testify. And, now once again the Pilipino nation is the one holding an empty bag. This thing is getting too familiar and so tiring to even argue on the subject. We are not getting nowhere and Gloria still doing her lying, cheating and stealing. What a perpect system for crooks. Only in the Philippines! Hang those bastards.
Why be defeatist? I told my friend at the US Embassy about Bolate, at nagulat sa ginagawa ng embassy nila sa Manila. Alam kasi niya hindi uubra ang tactica nila doon dito sa Japan. Baka mangyari diyan, magpalipat siya sa Pilipinas. Pero sabi ko sa kaniya, huwag kasi baka ma-corrupt siya doon katulad noong mga hapon na nagtratrabaho sa Japanese Embassy sa Manila. Marami sa kanila, pagdating sa Japan, mal-adjusted! Bakit kaya? Ang lakas ba talagang makahawa ng corruption sa Pilipinas? I wonder kung may nilalagyan din si Pandak sa mga embassies diyan sa Pilipinas para kunyari iyong mga ibang bansa ay approve sa kaniya. Alam ko iyong Vatican nalagyan niya pati na iyong CBCP. Buti na lang hindi ako Katoliko!!!
dapat ihawin lahat ng NPA…wla nang kabuluhan pinaglalaban nyo…mga wlanghiya kayo NPA > new people’s army..di nyo nman kaya harapan na laban…,dapat bitayin kayong lahat…
