While Juris Soliman, chief of staff of Mike- Arroyo, was telling media that her boss and wife, Gloria, are lovey-dovey celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary last Wednesday, the combative Tulfo brothers – Ramon, Raffy, and Erwin – said in press conference that the woman Mike was romantically linked to is engaged in smuggling activities.
Mon , the eldest of the three who writes a column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said that his exposés on the alleged smuggling activities of Vicky Toh and her brother, Tom, had the blessings of Gloria Arroyo.
This is fun.
In the past few months, Mon, who used to defend Mike Arroyo to high heavens, has been writing about has been talked about in coffee shops, which are the alleged illegal activities of the Tohs in the Bureau of Customs.
It will be recalled that the picture of Vicky Toh and Mike Arroyo, in a warm embrace against the backdrop of the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, came out in newspapers when Sen. Panfilo Lacson exposed the Jose Pidal accounts of Mike and his brother, Iggy.
Tulfo said that the Tohs are virtually “untouchable” at the Bureau of Customs because they are protected by the First Gentleman.
The Tulfo brothers are fuming because their show titled “Isumbong Mo, Tulfo Brothers” over the sequestered RPN Channel 9 was cancelled allegedly upon orders of Mike.
Arroyo’s lawyer, Jesus Santos, denied that his client had anything to do with the cancellation of the Tulfos’ show. He dismissed the allegations about Mike Arroyo’s connection with the Tohs as “rehashed and malicious lies”. He said they will sue the Tulfos for libel next week.
It is well-known in media circles that Mon Tulfo was a very close friend of Mike Arroyo. The question in many people’s minds is: What could have been the cause of their parting of ways?
There are also those who are wondering if there was a problem in the division of the spoils.
We are not actually surprised about this. The Arroyos’ continued stay in Malacañang is owed to a number of dubious characters that performed the stealing of public funds, rigging elections results, and suppression of dissent.
As UP professor Randy David said, “Gloria (has) accumulated enough political debts that she would likely need another lifetime to repay all of them. Today, the situation is such that the greatest threat to her remaining in power comes not from her political opponents, but from the very same people who have an intimate knowledge of what she did to become president. I do not think these people have been repaid, or if they have, it is likely that not all of them are happy with what they got.”
Sources tell us that even before former Agriculture undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc Joc” Bolante was arrested by US immigration authorities, he was already complaining to Mike that he was tired of living a fugitive’s life. He is now under detention and we can imagine that he is expecting Arroyo to get him out. If not, he might think of singing about how the P728 million fertilizer fund for farmers was used to fertilize the votes of Arroyo instead in the 2004 elections.
There were also reports that former Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano was upset that Arroyo was not acting on his recommendations to appoint some of his protégés in key Comelec positions. He reportedly threatened to hold a press conference to reveal what he knows, prompting Mike to travel to Cagayan de Oro last June to appease the sulking Garcillano.
The Arroyos also have to appease all the time the military officers who helped rig the 2004 election results. There may have been cases when to satisfy one person’s demand, she would have to displease another to whom she is also indebted. That’s where complications arise. Someone is bound to spill the beans someday. That would require a lot of brandy to put her to sleep.
What intrigued me most was Tulfo’s statement that it was Gloria Arroyo who gave him the go-signal to expose the Tohs’ alleged smuggling activities. Is Gloria Arroyo undermining her beloved husband?
But Juris said Gloria and Mike are sweet as ever as a couple. In fact, Juris said, Mike gave his wife his usual wedding anniversary gift of one dozen roses – 11 red and one white. They also had a private family dinner outside Malacañang.
“Basta family events – birthdays, anniversaries – they celebrate together. For example, Sundays, they go to mass together, they eat lunch together. They’re always together,” Juris said.
Is Tulfo’s expose the handiwork of a woman scorned?
Let’s sit back, relax and watch Gloria and Mike Arroyo and their friends destroy each other. This is good entertainment.
Ellen,
You’re so right on the button. Something’s got to give. All those favors given has got to be rewarded. But she can’t do it all at the same time to the multitudes of Garcified and Bolantified mobs she owes favors to, including all those SONA circus chimps. They ain’t gonna be satisfied with just a few bananas and a pat on the head in one lousy circus show. The kettle has got to boil over. The yarn is now beginning to unravel.
Ellen,
Its like plugging holes in a dike with one’s fingers. Soon she will run out of fingers and that’s when the dam’s gonna break. Serves her right.
Isn’t this some sort of de ja vu? Will Mon Tulfo be the Chavit Singson? Is this the beginning of the end for her?
Indeed, we should all just “sit back, relax and watch…” This, certainly “is good entertainment.”
If I were a betting person, I would wager that she would not still be in power at the end of 2006.
And what’s with this woman?
The whole world has been rocked by the chaos in Lebanon for weeks. The whole Filipino nation has been on edge for our OFW’s and the plight they’re in. The OFW evacuation and the OWWA funds have been the focal news issue for weeks. And Gloria has been very very suspiciously quiet all that time, letting only her subalterns do the talking and taking the brunt of the criticisms.
After weeks of silence, all of a sudden she comes out of her foxhole – and appeals to all OFW’s to now evacuate. She has the funds daw. Ngayon lang?
And such good timing. She comes out only on the day before the House committee approved a “standby fund” for the OFW evacuation. Did she have prior knowledge that this would be approved? Bet your Pacquiao five pesos, she did.
But what about the OWWA funds? This still hasn’t been explained. Still scrambling to replace the missing funds? Or siguro tapos na ang switcheroo?
And still on good timing, her appeal to evacuate comes when the prospect of a ceasefire is at hand…any day now. Machiavellian mind, indeed.
This may be it. All Mon Tulfo has to do is to reconcile with Ping Lacson then once there’s support from the opposition, Tulfo could be another Singson. Then, another People’s Power. That’s the only way. Impeachment will not prosper. It’s a number’s game. Gloria will not resign. Her face is as thick as the Great Wall of China. Gloria is not dying yet. She’s a lot younger than Fidel Castro…unless some brave suicide bomber does it. So, People Power which was made legal in Edsa One and Two is still legal today. Let’s all prepare for this great event. But first thing first, Mon Tulfo has to do a Singson. Will he? That’s a million peso question. As I write this, negotiation is going on to bring him back to the Mob boss’s good graces.
Ang tagal naman! Kailan kaya matatanggal sa pwesto yang bulilit na yan? Sana kumanta na si Joc Joc at huwag na siya mag joke, para magkaalaman na. Para naman sa mga Tulfo brothers, buti nga sa inyo ang yayabang ninyo kasi at ang babastos ng mga bunganga niyo. Pero ngayong kumakanta na kayo ng ibang tono ok na kayo sa akin, sige lang kanta pa at ilabas na ninyo lahat ng baho ng mga Arroyo. Salot talaga sa bayan yang pandakekok na yan!!! Grrrrrr!!!!
npongco,
i don’t think that will happen… tulfo reconciling with lacson. malabo na yata yon. but hopefully, with or without the reconcilliation he would still tell all what he knows about his mob bosses.
about the negotiation with the arroyos, i also doubt that they could get tulfo back to their fold. knowing tulfo, pag nagbitaw na ng salita yon di na niya kayang bawiin pa.
… it was MEGA PROJECT with her power-point presentation during the SONA
… now it’s SUPERMAID for the returning OFWs evacuees from Lebanon!
… what’s next with Pandak’s enchanted kingdom?
Kung mapapansin ninyo ang mga nagpabagsak sa gobyerno ng mga napaalis sa Malacanang ay nasa inner circle din:
… MARCOS – Juan Ponce Enrile at Fidel Ramos
… ESTRADA – Chavit Singson
… ARROYO – Ramon Tulfo (?) spill more beans now!!! – Kikilalanin ka pang maging bayani!
ABANGAN…..
Now Showing: WAR OF THE ROSES
It’s war of the roses over spoils of illegal activities. Mrs. Gloria Arroyo fits the character as the black rose while Ms. Victoria Toh is the white rose. Ramon Tulfo caught in crossfire between warring Jose Pidal roses. Yes, it’s about time to spill the beans regarding Jose Pidal and associates’ illegal activities such as smuggling and money laundering. TULFO BROTHERS: ISUMBONG MO SA TAONG BAYAN! ISUMBONG MO SA DIYOS!
ang kaba ko lang, baka biglang kumambiyo itong tulfo brothers na ito kapag binusalan uli ng pera ni jose pidal. malamang mangyari, at pag nagkaganoon, babawiin din ba nila ang mga pinagsasabi sa press conference?
tingnan natin kung talagang astig ang paninindigan nitong tulfo na ito. ano kaya, point of no return na ang sitwasyon ng pagiging magkaibigan nila ni pidal? sana naman, ipakita niya sa mga pilipino na mayroon siyang balls na kumalaban talaga sa masasama, gaya ng mag-asawang pidal.
at ano itong pinagsasabi ni defensor na kahit di totoo ang mga allegations tungkol kay toh, siempre masasaktan DAW si gloria dahil babae. eh kung alam niya palang di totoo, bakit masasaktan siya? bottom line is: alam niya si toh, in the same way na alam din ni jose miguel ang kay perez at sa kanya…..di kaya???
hayan, nag uumpisa nang magkalat ng dirty laundry nila. kahit ano pang sabihin, lalabas at lalabas din ang kabantutan ng mag-asawang ito.
let the show begin!!!!!
Nagsimula ka, Mon….
Hinahamon kita: TAPUSIN MO!
Kapag hindi mo tapusin, wala kang ba–g!
Ha-Hah!
Spill the neans now while the country reels to make pidal et al step out of Malacanang.
Do a Sing-Song and say it all….
while you can. That would surely boost your image
not only as “Sumbungan ng Bayan” but as a Makabayan as well.
Take 2: neans shd be BEANS….sorry po.

Mahilig si glue magpa-piktyur-piktyur, ala showbiz ba…..
Kanino ba magmamana itong anak na bondying kundi sa kanya?
Tee-hee-hee!
Mike, you got a very good point. But Mon is not a saint. He has and is still with people with questionable characters. Money talks and if money does the talking, who’s Mon to say no. That’s the only way he can get back his Marines security and lucrative career as a feared (?) journalist.
As I read the topic of this post “Let’s be entertained”, I’m not a bit entertained. I will only be entertained when GMA is dead.
The big Question lingers:::::
IS gloria truly in command?
She obviously is not. Her political debts are so huge that it would take 10 to 20 years to pay. And she needs to remain in power that long to pay her debts. She’s at the mercy of the Generals, crooks like Singson, the church and other influential religious groups (at least two of these) and Uncle Sam.
A reliable source in Ping lacson’s camp told me last June Ramon tulfo sent feelers to Ping offering to spill the beans on Mike. Ping didn’t entertain it. He has bad experience with Tulfo.
With the way “bluebird” acts, it’s as if we have many presidents…..”lualhati” remains just a puppet president,
………..and a fake!
OT lang po: The Tribune carries the pix of palparan. First time I saw his face. Mukha nga….mukhang———~—!
Dapat i-flash niyo po, para makita namin. We have no way to know the hatchetman of glue unless we see his pix bannered all over. At least, we get to know the enemy.
E-mail from Mina Rabino:
I am one of the many Filipinos who cannot wait for the downfall of the evil Gloria macapagal arroyo. I sincerely hope that someday her life and those around her will end like the former premier of Romania and his wife. Af firing squad should finish them all including those generals under her. People hate marcos and call him bad names but never in my wildest imagination that someone could be more evil than the late president. Marcos is a saint compared to Gloria.
Taipan88, re Palparan, check out July 2 posting here. The title is “Berdugo”.
No wonder the Philippines is not blessed. It is saturated with leaders who are fornicators.
The nerve of these crooks, Mike Arroyo, et al, to condemn Estrada for example for his philandering! At least the actor never denied recognition of his common-law-wives and children unlike this Fatso who denies having fathered the Toh’s chilren, and that look of innocence! Gosh, nakakasuka!
Ellen, this Juris something may try his best to defend the Malacanang squatters of being blissfully happy, but nobody is impressed knowing how the Fatso flaunts the no-class women hanging around his big belly(Ugh!), and the missy retaliating and said to be doing the same!!!
I remember reading something about the daughter not speaking to her father when the Victoria Toh scandal came out in the open. What a bunch of hypocrites indeed!
Sana naman hindi magbayad ang anak na babae! You know the curse on these parents when they break the Law of Chastity, which BTW does not mean the same vow of chastity of those priests who have vowed never to marry, but the law against adultery or having sex with someone one is not lawfully married.
The Bible says, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, • • • Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. • • • Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” (1 Cor. 6: 9, 13, 18)
“Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” (1 Cor. 7: 2)
And here’s what happens when the leaders are unrighteous:
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” (Isa. 9: 16)
“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matt. 15: 14)
I back-tracked and found that one, Ellen. Thanks.
Ellen:
That was what Satur Ocampo also said, that Marcos was a saint compared to the Pandak, not that he was trying to be nice to me when I told him about my Mom’s connection with the late president.
He was telling in fact a group of Filipinos and Japanese about the number of people already killed between 2001 and 2004 when he visited Japan.
BTW, we are organizing a forum on the 20th of this month and a picket near the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo with the Amnesty International and Friends of the Earth organization to protest against the rampant killings of human rightists and professionals critical of this illegitimate regime. The place is at the Roppongi Crossing from 10 a.m. in the morning.
We have asked for police protection as a matter of fact just in case the Pandak sends provocateurs as she usually to disperse peaceful demonstrations.
We invite concerned Filipinos to join us.
This should read:

Myrna said, “ang kaba ko lang, baka biglang kumambiyo itong tulfo brothers na ito kapag binusalan uli ng pera ni jose pidal. malamang mangyari, at pag nagkaganoon, babawiin din ba nila ang mga pinagsasabi sa press conference?”
Ano pa nga ba.
Emilio:
One thing I would not do is back up someone spurned like these Tulfos. I won’t even wish they would spill the beans. I’d rather say, “Buti nga sa inyo!”
Once a crook, always a crook unless one has seen the light and sincerely repents, but in the case of these Tulfos, they are simply sulking because of the removal of their privileges for some reason. First, tinanggalan ng guwardiya, then inalisan ng programa kaya umalma!
No dice! I won’t trust these people if I were you, dear friend. “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; • • • And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (“2 Thes. 2: 3, 10)
Another one I know who is presently provided guards from the Philippine Military (Hindi ko lang alam kung mga marines) is Oliver Lozano. I could not believe it myself when he was rumored to be the ploy of the Malacanang Squatters although I wondered who provided him with those soldiers from the AFP that my sister told me about when she saw Lozano during a visit to Manila prior to the Impeachment.
My sister met with Lozano, and she wanted to come and join the meeting with Imee Marcos. Buti na lang hindi ako pumunta. Kundi pahiya lang ako! Lalabas pa akong kakampi ni Pandak!!!
Sorry but I cannot find the best word to describe these crooks but mga tarantado talaga!!!
Point is what has motivated Mon Tulfo to write about the Tohs? Meron bang rivalry diyan about special privileges, etc. kaya pumiyak ang taong ito?
Tama kayo, Ellen and Schumey, singilan na and the Pidals apparently cannot pay!
The Tulfo bros has been accused of many things before including extortion to prevent certain exposes.
Well, Noli de Castro was likewise accused of the same.
Pag nanonood ako ng mga exposes nya ay para sa entertainment lamang at ganyan din nga ang tingin ko sa latest .
baka naman gimik lang to.
tulad ng sabi ni Dominique…E Ano Pa Nga Ba?
Off topic: Now it’s “Super Maids”
Arroyo: Philippines to send ‘super maids’ abroad soon
By Lira Dalangin-Fernandez
INQ7.net
THEY can administer first aid, attend to emergency procedures such as evacuation when there is a fire, can speak the language of the country of employment, aside from performing the usual chores of housekeeping and cooking.
Welcome: The “super maids.”
Faced with the problem of unemployment from about 30,000 Filipinos who are expected to return to the country from Lebanon, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said the government had put in place livelihood opportunities and training program to upgrade the skills of Filipinos going abroad to work as domestic helpers.
————————————————————
Instead of finding solutions to problems back home to keep our workers from leaving the country, Arroyo this time is sending “Super Maids” abroad. How can these Super Maids protect themselves against bullets and bombs?
Re: Super Maids
Itong si Superwoman Pandak ay mahilig sa “Super-Mega”. Baka super bola kagaya noon SONA 2006, super regions. Sabi niya may pera daw. Siyempre utang kaliwa’t kanan. Ang labas super utang. Tama na sobra na ang super pambola sa taong bayan. Ang alam ko super fertilizer scam, super smuggling sa Pier at Subic, super juggling of OWWA fund at super denial sa Hello Garci political scandal. Puwede bang lumipad ang mga super maids? Kailangan ang extra training para makalipad kung may krisis uli sa Middle East. OK let’s be entertained. Kaboooom Darna! Captain Barbel!
‘Hundreds’ sent on global jihad
By staff writers and wires
August 04, 2006 10:02am
THE Federal Government has said it will investigate claims that hundreds of South-East Asian suicide bombers are on a mission to attack Jewish interests in countries including Australia.
The radical Jakarta-based Asian Muslim Youth Movement gave The Australian details of the plot yesterday, claiming it was being funded in part with cash donations from two unnamed Australian-Indonesian businessmen.
The leader of the AMYM, Islamist author Suaib Bidu, warned that thousands more jihadis were preparing to join the resistance against Israel and die as”martyrs”.
Mr Bidu said a “passing-out” ceremony for more than 3000 jihadis would be held tomorrow in the Indonesian city of Pontianak on the large northern island of Kalimantan.
But only about 200 would be sent immediately to targets aboard, with the remainder being active supporters.
Mr Bidu warned that his group would “monitor” the position of Australia towards Israel’s current military operation in southern Lebanon, and that it too could become a target for suicide attacks.
“We have a lot of support, including in Australia, from people who don’t believe Israel’s attack (on Hezbollah) is just,” Mr Bidu said.
Probe
Human Services Minister Joe Hockey today said the Government was taking the claims seriously.
“The Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Department of Foreign Affairs are investigating what is reported in the papers today and we are treating it very, very seriously,” Mr Hockey said on Channel Seven Network.
But Australia had been a terror target for some time, he said.
“That has no impact in so far as these people have targeted us for a long period of time,” Mr Hockey said.
“You only need to look at Bali and that was before any major escalation of the conflict in Lebanon and Israel. We are a target, we always have been a target and we will be for a very long period of time.”
Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said the threat was a new one that warranted concern.
“This has sprung up without earlier evidence of action between the (Australian and Indonesian) governments,” he said.
Threat
Terrorism experts have warned that the AMYM had the motivation and the backing to organise such a campaign of terror. One of the foremost scholars in militant Islam, Zachary Abuza, described the group as a dangerous threat.
“These people are willing to martyr themselves and that just feeds on itself,” Dr Abuza told The Australian. “Events like this (the Lebanon conflict) are superb tools for recruiting and indoctrinating people.”
He said the group had been active in South-East Asia before and said Israeli sites in the region could be targeted.
Dr Abuza said the move could also have far-reaching ramifications because it gave the South-East Asian militants the ability to network with jihadis in the Middle East.
Last night, Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi said there were fears a “new wave” of terrorists could be generated by the Israeli offensive in Lebanon.
“Muslims are angry even in moderate Muslim countries,” said Mr Abdullah, who hosted an emergency meeting of the 57 nations of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
South-East Asian terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna said the jihadis could quickly develop the capability to carry out their plan in so-called third-country attacks.
Fear
Although he said the numbers of recruits were probably being exaggerated to “provoke fear and anxiety”, the group should not be underestimated.
Dr Gunaratna said the AMYM had sent fighters to Iraq in the past, albeit in small numbers.
The group has already sent 217 suicide bombers, including 72 Indonesians as well as citizens of six other South-East Asian nations, to Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, Mr Bidu said.
Mr Bidu said they were on a mission to infiltrate Israel and its allies “with the help of friendly networks”.
“They will be charged with destroying infrastructure targets of Israel and its supporters, such as Britain and the US,” he said.
The move comes as another group of fighters from a separate body known as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) announced it had 200,000 members ready to join the battlefield in southern Lebanon.
“When we apply for passports we say we are going to Singapore or to Mecca, so that we can fulfil our true aims,” FPI spokesman Habib Hasan al-Jufrie said.
He said the FPI held military training courses “at secret locations” every two weeks. The FPI is thought to be involved in gangster activity and extortion and protection rackets in Jakarta.
The AMYM and FPI have been blatant in their past condemnation of the US and its Middle Eastern policies. The AMYM has allegedly previously threatened to attack US interests in Indonesia and has sent fighters to the conflicts in Bosnia and Chechnya.
About 40 per cent of the AMYM recruits have military experience in countries including Afghanistan, Thailand, The Philippines, the Palestinian Territories and Iraq. Those with field experience have learned how to make bombs for suicide attacks.
Mr Bidu said the fighters from his movement would not travel to Lebanon “because we don’t want to face Israel from the front; we prefer to do it from behind”.
A spokesman for the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah, Abu Bakar Bashir, said the cleric “fully supports opposing through jihad”.

This is really good entertainment and a thriller too. What could be the ending? Ang mga naunang scenes which serves as a trailer to tickle the audience seems promising. The plots, recados, and ingredients are familiar, only we have to have a lot of imagination to visualize how the characters act on their roles, at sana may ending na ang lalabas na mga bida ay mga Tulfos.
Ang tanong ko lang sa aking sarili ay, Totoo na kaya ito? I hate to be the spoiler or be a KJ, but I have reasons to be skeptical. Maraming similar cases na ang nangyari where people came forward to make exposes and even volunteered themselves to be witnesses, but the next time you know, nag-somersault na at nagkaroon na ng amnesiya. Siguro nag-karoon lang ng kaunting problema sa kwento(ta)han, at pasasaan ba their happy days are there again..
One more thing, I, personally have some reservations about the Tulfos. They have no right to be called journalist (if ever they were). Ang alam ko sa journalism profession (Ellen, pls. correct me if I am wrong) ay pagsusulat at nag-e-expose ng mga katotohanan who ever gets hurt in the process. Alam na pala nila na maraming illegal activities na nangyayari, kundi pa sila na-agrabiyado, hindi pa sila mag-ngangawa, at tahimik lang silang nagbibilang ng kanilang mga biyaya.. Anong credibility mayroon ngayon sila. Kung katotohanan nga ang ginagawa nilang expose, it’s just a way to get back sa nang-abrabiyado sa kanila, hindi sa dahilang tapat sila sa kanilang profession as journalists. A true journalist ay walang master na kinikilala kundi ang sarili, to stand up and fight for their principles, beliefs and for the common good, hindi tulad nila na may amo na sinusunod at ginagawang negosyo ang kanilang pagiging journalist. As I said, gusto ko ring makita na magkaroon ito ng ending na ang mga hero ay itong mga magkakapatid. At kapag nangyari iyon, sa sino mang makabasa nito, just forget that this comment ever existed. I stand to be corrected and willing to take back my words.
florry, there are so called “witnesses for a fee”. Many have made money out of expose, real or not.
Just adding to what npongco mentioned about “‘d SuperMAIDS”…itong si gloria talaga…maryosep, makikita mo talaga ang “KABOBAHAN” ng put!@^*…nuong 1800s, talamak ang “Slave Trade” ng mga Afrikano…ginagawa ito ng mga “mapang-api” at “mapang-abusong” Europeans, partikular ng mga Ingles…dinadala nila sa “New World” yung mga “alipin” upang “mag-trabaho” sa mga “lupain” ng mga “aristocrats” na “nag-settle” sa “Young America”. Ngayon, sa kabila ng “pangangalandakan” ni gloria..na ubod ng “ganda” na raw ang ekonomya ng bansa, na “dadalhin niya sa enchanted kongdom” ang Pilipinas…at kung ano-ano pang “masasarap” pakinggan na “bulatsing” sa ating mga “GAGONG PILIPINO”….eto, pangangalakal ng “atsay” ang nililitanya ngayon. At para “i-advertise” ng maganda sa pandinig naman ng mga “foreign employer”, binansagan pang “super”…ano kaya ang “ibig sabihin” nga Pandak na ito na “super”?…isang DH na hindi magkakasakit?, hindi mapapagod sa lahat ng gawain?, pwede na rin sigurong dahil super, eh hindi na kakain? STUPIDA!!! Suwerte lang talaga ng babae na ito at siya ang napiling “puppet” ng mga “real” power grabbers…kung hindi, sus malosep…ubod talaga ng BOBA ang LOLA…madalas “magsalita” ng mga bagay na hindi muna “pinag-iisipan” kung ano talaga ang magiging “kahulugan”.
Yuko,
If Ramon Tulfo can lit a fire for the ultimate downfall of Pandak’s regime, by spilling more beans of Fatso’s illegal activities, well and good, di ba?
Mayroon pa naman sigurong natitirang kabutihan sa puso niya kaya kahit na vengeance ang pakay niya laban kay Fatso ay maituturing na nagtagumpay na siya.
It’s a wishful thinking na sana ay ilahad niya ang nalalaman niya sa lahat ng kurakot ni Fatso. Dito natin makikita ang reaction ng taong-bayan.
So, let’s be entertained in the coming days…
Now, talking about the “Tulfo Bros”…Ma’m Ellen, hindi ba’t meron silang kapatid na “itinumba” nuon…I just can’t remember when, but if my “RAM” is correct, the “killing” happened in “Sauyo,Novaliches”…tama po ba? Or I was just “dreaming” before that one of these “tough guy” brothers have “bitten the dust”? :-confused
Extortion o kabayad ang sabida.
npongco said: “florry, there are so called “witnesses for a fee”. Many have made money out of expose, real or not”.
Spartan:
Hindi nga siguro nagbabasa ng history books si Pandak dahil ang mga negro slaves na nagmula sa Africa ay daig pa sardinas nang sila ay maglayag sa barko papunta ng “New World”.
Ang mga “modern day slaves” ay makikita sa church mission sa Lebanon na ang tinutulugan ay pinagdikit-dikit na dyaryo at ang unan ay ang kani-kanilang bag. Sila din ang magiging “SUPER MAIDS” ni Pandak.
Kahapon nga nang kabolahan niya ang kanyang mga econmic advisers sa Malacanang ay binabasa pa yata niya sa “teleprompter” ang dapat niyang sabihin. Kung siya man ang gumagawa ng kanyang mga speeches ay kailangang irepaso niya ang kanyang translation.
Kapag iyang mga “SUPER MAIDS” ay ipinadala sa Middle East ay mahihirapan ng husto ang mga iyan dahil 24 oras silang magiging alipin ng mga Arabo. Lalo pa na malapit na naman ang Ramadan na kung kailan ang araw ay ginagawa nilang gabi at ang gabi ay ginagawa nilang araw. Itong si pobreng “SUPER MAID” ni Pandak ay gising magdamag at hindi makatulog sa araw dahil kailagan naman siyang maglaba at maglinis ng bahay.
Ano pa kaya ang susunod niyang “SUPER PROJECT”?
Dahil sa maliit si gloria, she wants to think big, hence her “mega” or “super” projects [kuno].
What else would she do, para mapansin? Eh gumawa ng super o kaya naman mega….
Just look at her “mega” husband who makes “mega” kurakot everywhere.
And don’t forget the “MEGA DAYAAN” or “SUPER CHEATING” last election….
…yung dagdag, yung dagdag!
He^hee^hi^hee!
RE Tulfo Brothers:
I used to think that way, florry, but as Emilio says, why not? If Tulfo’s revelation could open the way for gloria’s ouster, why not?
Better that than be under a regime where journalists and numerous citizens are butchered by her henchmen.
Spartan, Emilio:
Average sueldo ng mga katulong sa Lebanon ay 200 dollars. Supermaid daw? No wonder kapat nakatikim ng Japan ang mga iyan ay ayaw nang umalis. Dito kasi ang sueldo nila average at 100 dollars a day sa pagtratrabaho ng 9 to 9. At least malaki-laki kaya itong si Pandak talagang ipinagpipilitang ibenta dito ang mga pilipino at malaki ang minimum wage. Pero tama ka, trabahong kabayo ang mga trabaho ng mga iyan.
Boba talaga iyang si Pandak na ipinaglalandakan ang mga pilipino na maging katulong ng mundo. Grabe iyong mga tina-transcribe ko ngayong mga interviews kung papaano hinuhubog ang mga pilipinong maging “super-maids” daw under the guise of “caregivers”. Golly, 13-17 years old ang mga edad na tini-train nilang maging “caregivers” kuno na ang pinag-aaralan ay maglalaba, pagluluto, paggawa ng bed, etc. na purong pangkatulong. Ang mga biktima ay mga high school drop out dahil hindi makaya ng mga magulang na ipasok sila ng eskuwela sa hirap ng buhay ngayon.
Hindi ko naabutan ang ganyang pamumuhay sa Pilipinas sa totoo lang kaya nasha-shock ako. Hindi muna ako ng translation ko till the 15th. Sumama kasi ang katawan ko sa stress ng pinanonood kong mga interview na nakakakulo ng dugo ko. I transferred one or two tapes into DVD and send them to Ellen para magamit niya sa article niya.
Kawawa ang mga pilipino sa hayop na ito na gustong maging alipin ang lahat ng pilipino at talaga namang ginagawang mga busabos ang mga pilipino at ipinagdidikdikan sa utak nilang wala silang pag-asang umasenso sa bansa nila kaya lumayas sila.
Meanwhile, I’m suggesting to my group to have a sign campaign of support to Senator Biazon, et al tungkol sa imbestigasyon nitong OWWA fund na binayaran ng karamihan sa kanila kasi kahit itong mga babae sa group kong itinayo ay dating mga Japayuki. Ako lang nga ang hindi dahil hindi naman ako kailangang maging isa sa kanila. At saka hindi pa uso ang OFW noong umalis kami ng Pilipinas. STOP THE SUPER MAIDS! STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING!!!
I believe those who have covered the police beat are more likely to be like the Tulfos.
I remember one who has since semi-retired I think. He has a wonderful mansion in Alabang and has a string of businesses now. He used to do a column in one of the tabloids and ganun din: sumbungan ng mga naaapi… He helped a lot but earned well from…I don’t know where….

Mon Tulfo, doing a Chavit Singson? And he (Tulfo) reconciling with Sen. Lacson? Haay naku, asa pa kayo. Kayo talaga, basta mapatalsik lang si Ate Glue.
The 2nd coming of Chavit Singson must be a partner-in-crime of Ate Glue and the Fat Guy and does a 180 degree turn against his partners.
At saka, for better results, credibility and acceptance, the opposition must yield the exposing and witch-hunting efforts to people with integrity. That means NOT ONE of the following: a sitting legislator, a CBCP member, a former VP, anybody connected with Erap, a member of any left-leaning cause-oriented group, any member of the “United” Opposition, anyone from the Black-and-White Movement, anyone from One Voice.
I must admit Mon Tulfo can help yield Singson-like results. But for Mon Tulfo the “United” Opposition has no credibility. It remains to be seen if Mon Tulfo’s ‘affection’ for the Fat Guy is at a level that he will cross over to the credibility-challenged “United” Opposition.
Modus Operandi ni Pandak ngayon, magsakit-sakitan kapag mya crisis. Playing innocent pa ang ungas.
Pag may crisis, hindi lumalabas until a week after. Kunyari may mga blockbuster na mga announcement gaya ng sinasabi niya ngayon na parang shoot to kill order to save the OFWs in Lebanon pero wait and see ang attitude at baka makalibre ng husto through the International Red Cross at IOM na ngayon at hindi na through the USA na under criticism din ngayon dahil nga sa kabagalan ng pagre-rescue sa mga kano doon sa Lebanon. Katwiran ng mga kano nga naman ay bakit nila uunahin ang mga pilipino e iyon ngang mga kano hindi nila mailigtas ng tama!!!
Ngayon dini-deviate ang attention sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang “Super-Alila” gimmick at saka itong bagong entertainment tungkol sa expose kuno ng mga Tulfos.
Ano kaya ang sinasabi ni Lacson ngayon na siyang binabatikos nitong mga Tulfo noon? Mukhang tahimik ang senador na ito ngayon a.
Walang binabanggit sa OWWA funds kaya patuloy dapat ang pagbatikos kasi talagang tatabunan iyan dahil sa palagay ko ang karamihan diyan nalipat na sa Pidal Fund. Dapat ipatawag si Pat Sto. Tomas dahil siya ang Labor Secretary ni Pandak nang nakawin ang OWWA funds para sa election niya. Hindi puedeng sabihing wala siyang alam kasi pirmi siyang kasama ni Pandak everywhere na may kinalaman sa mga OFW. Mas maraming alam iyan kesa kay Brion.
Dalawa na ang nireport na namatay. Napilitan ang mga ungas na magsabi ng totoo dahil siguro kailangan na talagang ipadala sa Pilipinas ang bangkay na nangangamoy na at mainit. Ang tanong ay ilan pa kaya ang mga namatay na sa kanila sa kakuparan ng pamahalaan ni Pandak na umaasa pang mahinto ang guerra para hindi na uuwi ang mga na-stranded doon at makapanatili sila sa trabaho nila doon, legal man o hindi!
Tanong, hanggang kailan magpapaloko ang mga pilipino sa Pandak na ito at ng mga alipores niya? BTW, bakit biglang tumahimik yata si Bingot at si Ermita ang panay ang arte na akala mo kaya niyang pagsabihan ang Israel at Hezbollan na tigilan na ang alitan nila?
Diego: I should have called them “witnesses for sale”.
Emilio: I agree. Ramon Tulfo may want to change and repent for his past mistakes. It’s hard for us to judge him and know what’s in his heart. If he really wants to tell all, then this is the right time. He may change his mind later. Let’s convince him to speak while he’s mad. If he later retracts which is possible, at least people and the nation get to hear and know everything he has to say about the Fat Guy as well as all the other secrets that we don’t know.
04 August 2006
Hehehehehehehehehehe…… you all got ir right, the only problem is mon tulfo is known to be an “envelopmnental journalist, however, it he could really presents his evidences so much the better. reliable information that I got is, the show of the tulfo brothers was cancelled because of the pressure from the big fatso. It is high time that mon tulfor really spill the beans on the big fatso, he really knows a lot then he should really tell.

@ystakei,
I have read the article on the slaying of Alice Claver. It is but another statistic to the ever growing numbers of political killings perpetrated under this present regime. But in the current situation our beloved Motherland is right now, this numbers would still add up. Now, the evil people that are doing all of these brutal and despicable crimes against the seemingly vocal but helpless civilians, whose only fault were the telling of the TRUTH, must be brought to JUSTICE. But which JUSTICE? The perpetrators are all serving the government, the same government that controls the LAW, the same LAW that will serve JUSTICE…can we now say that all the VICTIMS of these STATE SPONSORED CRIMES will get the JUSTICE they are seeking? The answer is as bright as the sun…NO! It’s time for the citizenry to put a STOP to this OPRESSIONS. CHAOS and ANARCHY?,… if it is the only way to a BETTER, ORDERLY, and PEACEFUL society, then WHY NOT? Out from DEADLY and DESTRUCTIVE forests fires, a NEW LUSH and GREEN JUNGLES are REBORN, full of youth and life. Yes, our country needs CHANGE for the GOOD, a change that is not only cosmetic in nature but one that would be lasting. We must bring back a society where the TRUE meaning of JUSTICE is represented by a BLINDFOLDED LADY THAT HOLDS THE WEIGHING SCALE OF EQUALITY AND THE SWORD OF PUNISHMENT. But to attain such UTOPIA would not come without a price. Because right now, our system of government and its leaders is a cancer, a tumor that is slowly killing our sense of PRIDE, NATIONALITY, and VALUES, that if NOT taken OUT would continue to rape and murder our Motherland. A cancer operation is always bloody, there’s always a chance of failure, but the HOPE of SUCCESS and finally being CURED of the disease can outweigh the RISK.
The question NOW is not a matter of HOW, but WHEN? It is always asked…”is the filipino worth dying for?”…but I guess we ALL should now be asking…”is OUR COUNTRY worth dying for?”.
A true journalist does not ask permission from a little kid called Little Mike in order to make an expose. What kind of journalist is that?
This simply means that Tulfo was actually asking permission from the Queen (through Little Mike) to hit Big Mike’s Toh. But Little Mike wouldn’t dare do this to Big Mike, not even if he was the Queen’s favorite gofer. Unless of course Big Mike gave permission to Little Mike to do so…because maygalit ito kay Toh. In that case, palabas lang lahat Itoh?
Yuko:
Boba talaga iyang si Pandak – exact words of Ms. Josie Lichauco kaya nire-resbakan siya ngayon!
Answer to V-4-Vendetta’s question “is OUR COUNTRY worth dying for?”: Maybe not if Inang Bayan is Mrs. Gloria M. Pidal! But it sure is worth trying to bring, her husband and those around her to justice. The problem is how when the police, military, and the justice department are all controlled by their paid lackeys!!!
Kawawang Pilipinas! Kawawang mga pilipino! :'(
Frankly, i do watch the program of the Tulfo Brothers-Isumbong Mo, kasi nanggigigil ako dun sa mga taong gobyerno na nahuhuling nang-aabuso. I know the big four brothers are friends of the Pidals. If bansot knew of its airing, why then? Galit na ba siya talaga kay fatso man? Sa karaniwang mag-asawa, pilit pagtatakpan ng bawat isa ang kanilang mga kahihiyan. Sa pangyayaring ito, parang nakakapagtaka. Hindi kaya si little mike lang ang nagbigay ng go-signal sa Tulfo brothers na ilabas iyon?
Kasi kung may basbas iyan ni bansot, dapat ipaglaban niya si Mon Tulfo para mapabalik sa Channel 9. Or The Tulfo brothers were framed-up by the people in malacanang dahil marami ngang alam. Inunahan na silang alisin sa ere, para wala nang magawang iskandalo. But at any rate.kahit ano pa ang katotohanan sa masalimuot na pangyayari- isa lang ang bottom line……isa-isa nang nalalaglag sa palad ni bansot ang mga taong pinagkakautangan niya ng power–hindi na niya makayang hawakan silang lahat. Sa lalong madaling panahon tuluyang mapapagod ang kanyang mga palad, kusa niya itong ibubuka para largahan sila.
Kahit pa sabihing walang kredibilidad ang mga Tulfo, kung may magagawa silang bagay para makatulong sa pagpapabagsak kay bansot tatanggapin sila ng mga Filipinos. Actually wala namang magtataksil sa isang tao kung hindi ang mga malalapit din niyang kaibigan. Kaya nga sinabing taksil eh-dahil malapit at maraming alam….hindi naman pwedeng magtaksil ako dahil hindi ako kaibigan ni bansot!!!
Emilio:
You bet, mahirap talaga ang nagudunung-dunungan lalo na kung wala pang sense of right and wrong that the Pandak is what is all about! Bastos ang taong iyan sa totoo lang. Now, she is the law, and wants to control the lives of each and every Filipino dahil akala niya siya ang the Chosen One!!!
Ang tawag diyan, Emilio, ay hindi lang bobo, kundi hangal o hibang!!! Dapat diyan hindi sa St. Luke’s Hospital dinadala, kundi sa Mandaluyong, sa loob at hindi sa labas! Cheers kahit na mahirap tumawa kapag ang topic ay itong si Hangal na Pandal!
With your indulgence, off topic…
Now, they are saying the missing activists who are presumed to have been killed by the military are with the NPA. What a lie ! What can we expect from people working for the Mother of all lies !
‘Missing activists may be with NPA’ — Army chief
By Joel Guinto
INQ7.net
MILITANTS who have been reported missing may have gone underground and joined the communist New People’s Army (NPA), the commanding general of the Philippine Army said.
Reacting to petitions for habeas corpus filed by the families of the missing activists, Lieutenant General Romeo Tolentino said reports that Army troop are behind the alleged abductions may be a “creation” to cover up the fact that the activists went underground.
I just hope and pray these kids are still alive, noel…..
A bit of trivia: 4 men that pandak owes a lot to are – MIKE Arroyo for orchestrating her rise to power, MIKE Defensor for constantly shielding her to the point of absurdity, IGNACIO Arroyo for keeping her campaign kitty safe and the Master Showman of the famous “I Have Two Tapes”, IGNACIO Bunye. Can you spot the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their similarities?
for the bruha…the 4 horsemen are her guards. puro bulok na style na ang ploy nya pagka hindi na nila malaman kung pano i-divert ang issues pagka alam nilang sila na naman ang pinag-iinitan. isn’t it so obvious?..now they are diverting news re Al-Queda daw sa Jolo na akal mo naman ay ka-Lebanon/Israel ang bakbakan. just last night while watching the news, i pity the plight of a barrio in Nueva Ecija(?)…several men suspected to be NPA sympathizers were taken by supposedly military men, samantalang makikita mong sadlak na sadlak sa kahirapan ang lugar. the place was abandoned and only an old man was seen walking around. another tv show was also showing a far flung barrio who has never seen any electricity for how many past administration was featured. All the teacher(they requested for donation of gas lanterns)were asking for so that the school children can read their lessons at night. it took the reporting team almost 3.5 hours by roough road and several river crossings to reach the desolated place. and the kids? they have to endure walking several hours of crossing rivers and rough terrain to reach a make-shift school. Saludo ako sa sa mga teacher na pwede silang mag-abroad pero “kawawa naman ang mga batang ito. sino pa ang aasahan nila para matuto sila kahit paano”…how sad the plight of our country…7,101 or so islands and almost 60% have not even have the taste of electricity!!!! this is entertainment news for the palace…pwe!!!!!
Clarification: I have withdrawn the post from my blogsite regarding the $21 million aid pending clarification from MCA. I have written to them as soon as Ellen pointed out that the reports may be wrong. I have yet to receive a reply from them. The apparent lack of follow-up reports from Mike Enriquez and Jay Sonza who first reported it on their respective shows could mean that they got the reports wrong. Sorry if I gave you guys an unconfirmed report. I should have confirmed the news first before posting it. Thanks.
Schumey: Analogy of The Fourhorsemen of the Apocalyse to the Four Guards of Pandak:
…Mike Arroyo riding the white horse which represents conquest (“went forth conquering, and to conquer at all cost”),
…Mike Defensor riding the red horse which represents domestic strife (“that they should kill one another”), everytime he opens his mouth it will be a lie!
…Iggy Arroyo riding the black horse which represents famine (“A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine”),
…Ignacio Bunye riding the pale horse which represents pestilence or disease in its various forms (“to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth”). Remember the Garci tapes? -the left and the right, which one is original blew upon his face!
Good analogy. To me, Gloria cannot be compared to anything and be described by anything. She is the one and only Mother of All Lies, Queen of Evil !
Re “A reliable source in Ping lacson’s camp told me last June Ramon tulfo sent feelers to Ping offering to spill the beans on Mike. Ping didn’t entertain it. He has bad experience with Tulfo.”
Talagang kambal na traydor itong mga Tulfo na ito.
The Pidal Mafia family is finally being dismantled by infightings among their capons!
Oui, Anna. This Ramon Tulfo has no credibility himself. He hit Lacson pretty hard last time and of course Lacson cannot forget what he did. And now, Tulfo has the balls to approach the senator?
npongco,
The Brothers Four are very proud of their pingpongs, I’m sure. And they got eight of them. That’s enough to play hard ball.
Phil, you are simply a great, funny cynic!
Noted, Schumey.
Let’s be entertained!
I propose a “dugtungan” activity. There must be a simple rhyme, subject must be GMA and what we wish for her to do. The result is a “litanya” where somebody reads the left side and somebody responds with the phrase on the right side…as follows:
Litanya Para Kay Glueria Magarapal Arrovo
Mother of All Lies – Ikaw ay lumayas
Mother of All Dagdag-Bawas – Ikaw ay lumayas
Stealer of Presidency, Not Once But Twice – Ikaw ay lumayas
Sakitin Kunong Presidente – Tigilan mo na kami
Queen Ni Garci – Tigilan mo na kami
Manunuhol Ng Obispo – Maawa ka sa mga Pilipino
O, dugtong na! Cut and paste the preceding lines then add your very own lines.
Phil, were you referring to Ping Lacson when you mentioned “Pingpong”?
Here’s part of the news about this new charity from Malaya:
He (Conejo) said sea travel out of Beirut is possible, particularly after the Greek Ship Owners’ Association offered free transportation for OFWs to show their gratitude and appreciation to Filipino seafarers. –
Wow, nakalibre na naman si Pandak. Ligtas na naman ang mga nakulimbat niya sa mga OFWs.
Puede ba pakisabi kay Pandak at sa mga alipores niya na mga koneho sila!
Conejo in Spanish means “rabbit” but among the Filipinas working here, “koneho” means more like “f–k you!”
3 weeks after the Israelis started bombing the Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Pandak is starting to show bravado but that’s all she does as she tries her dumbest to prevent her alipores from saying more than what she tells them to say about her loots from the OWWA fund.
Tuwang-tuwa ang magnanakaw when NGOs and now some ship companies in Greece offer free transport to the Filipinos out of Lebanon, and giving herself credit for not doing anything but dada!!!
Walanghiya talaga, ayaw kumasa. Inaasa na lang lahat sa iba ang pagligtas sa mga pilipino sa Lebanon. Ayaw talagang ipagalaw ang mga ninakaw niya! Mukhang pulubi pa ang labas ng mga pilipino ngayon dahil puro hingi ng libre. Pero ang galing magdelihensiya ng mga loko.
They now say that one reason for the delay in the evacuation of Filipinos via Syria is because Syria is demanding that Filipinos get a visa and to do so will mean money! Baka sabihin niya 25 dollars per OFW x 30,000 OFWs kasama na iyong mga nakauwi na. Di may palusot na naman siya!
Ang galing ng strategy ng makapal na mukhang ito na mahilig manghingi ng limos. Diyan siya magaling, ang mangulimbat!!! 🙁
At this time of crisis in Lebanon or anywhere, visa should be waived. Why is there a need for visa? That only worsens the condition of those who are to be evacuated and who want to return home. This is the worst time to demand such a stupid thing.
Huling-huli ang mga ungas na nagbabasa ng blog ni Ellen. Lumabas na si Defensor, and as usual, he talked of destabilization. Wait till you hear SiRaulO Gonzales follow suit!
Sinabi na nga natin na hindi tayo naniniwalang may serious ailment si Pandak kung hindi siya nasisiraan ng bait, makulit talaga!
Well, he has warned wannabe gossip mongers who believe his and his fellow crooks’ announcement that the the Pandak got sick that was why she was confined not just once but twice at the St. Luke’s Hospital.
Since he is now denying that the Pandak is sick, you might just as well take his words as valid, and stop saying that the Pandak is sick but in the head. If not, I guess she just suffered some stomach pain because of some diet pills and/or in for another banat operation to remove the bugs and crow’s feet around her eyes, forehead and even neck!!!
A couple of things convinced me why GMA has serious illness. First, why should she go to a hospital if it was just a simple case of flu? Wouldn’t it be more practical and more convenient for her to Stay in Malacanang and just call for the best doctors to go and see her instead? Second, going to a hospital as popular as St. Luke would attract public and media attention. If she just stayed in Malacanang to recover a simple flu, she would be able to attend to her personal and private matters.
Let me consult my psychic and favorite fortune tellers Rene Mariano or Madam Auring to get the answer.
Yuko:
Di ba tama ang suspetsa natin na nagbabasa sila ng mga comments sa blog ni Ms. Ellen?
Opps! week-end na naman at baka bigla na naman magpasugod si Pandak sa St. Luke’s hospital na dala-dala ang kanyang laptop upang maging updated sa mga comments dito plus ang kanyang dosage na “Vitamin T” galing kay Bingotilyo.
Inaangkop ko lang sa title na Let’s be entertained….
He^hee^hi^hee! (ganito ang tawa ni Pandak noong S-A-N-A)
Anna,
That’s coz I have a great mentor named Anna de Brux.
Pero again, atin atin lang to. I want you to know I wasn’t born a cynic. Not in my genes. My parents were no cynics. Nor were my Lolo and Lola.
I used to be an optimist actually. I used to listen to people with utmost trust and positivity and I used to see the inner potentials of human beings instead of their weaknesses and frailties. But five years of listening to the humongously brazen lies and deceptions of that Woman and her Cabal by the Pasig has morphed me into one Big C. I tried explaining that to Officer Krupkee but he wouldn’t believe me.
So thanks for reminding me, Anna, time to smell the roses once again. Are there still roses by the Pasig?
I myself won’t be surprised if they’re monitoring this blog.
Ellen is an honest and popular journalist. Why should they check on the likes of Alex Magno?
And with today’s high technology, they may also be able to check our identities and where all these comments come from.
As I write this, I got a feeling someone is watching me from the window. That someone looks like a female standing only about 4 feet with a mole on her cheek. No, she can’t be my idol Nora Aunor. Ate Guy is in the US. Who could she be?
npongco,
You are also one great funny cynic. I meant the brothers’ “pingpongs”, not Ping’s pongs.
Emilio:
She is not sick this week. She gets sick only on thursdays since the rumored tryst with the Bingot although I would opt for the diet pill and banat operation theory. I’m actually learning to read facial expressions, and that is what I read in the expressions of the faces of these crooks.
My first boyfriend, a Chinese mestiso, was a lip reader because he was deaf, and I learned lip reading and sign language from him. NoW, I’m switching to reading facial expressions.
That was why I thought for example that San Juan was being forced to say what he said during a press conference arranged by his captors. I felt sorry for him because I’d rather accept death than be humiliated the way he was humiliated and reduced to some soldiers with his pants down (sundalong kanin labas ang tumbong)!
Mrs. Pidal is actually easy to read. For me, she is nothing but a vain and arrogant nincompoop, a candidate to Mandaluyong, and a terrible case of pathological liar and perhaps, we can add now another malady, kleptomania plus that illness called “akin ‘to” as she claims ownership of everything there is left in the country!!!
Ang tindi—ng sira sa ulo!!! Destabilization? No way! It’s more a call for order, sanity and the rule of law!!!
😛
Off topic: Manny Pacquiao for Manila Vice Mayor?
‘Manny has been placed there merely as an endorser of whoever Atienza will run as a candidate for mayor, who could well be one of the Atienza sons.’
Manny Pacquiao for vice mayor
The early endorsement by Manila- Mayor Lito Atienza of Manny Pacquiao for vice mayor in next year’s election is a page out of an advertising and publicity textbook.
Says a businessman: “If you can get Kris Aquino or Manny Pacquiao to endorse any product, that product will sell.” This is why, for every endorsement of any product by any other endorser, there are two from either Kris or Manny. Somehow, these two have gotten the public to trust them to tell the public what products are best for them.
Obviously, Manny has been placed there merely as a endorser of whoever Atienza will run as a candidate for mayor, who could well be one of the Atienza sons. Lito cannot possibly be actually and seriously wishing someone like Manny Pacquiao on the Manila City Council.
Manny actually lives in General Santos City but has a condo unit in Manila, which was given to him by the mayor of Manila as a reward for being a world-class boxer.
************************************************************
Gosh, a boxer who only knows how to box and gamble is now being thrown into political arena. Senator Fred Lim has already declared his intention to run as mayor of Manila. Senator Ping Lacson may just give way and run again as Senator.
Phil, I was not being funny when I asked if you were referring to Ping Lacson. Now that you explained it’s the brothers “pingpongs”, do you know that they love to eat Ping’s Lechon?
Off topic…
Former congressman, 3 others hurt in Makati road mishap
Former Pangasinan Congressman Ranjit Shahani and three others were injured in a road accident in Makati City Thursday night.
Shahani, the son of former senator Leticia Ramos-Shahani and a nephew of ex-president Fidel V. Ramos, was driving on Metropolitan Avenue in Bel-Air when his car rammed an approaching L-300 van while overtaking a taxi cab.
The three passengers of the van were also injured in the collision.
Shahani was rushed to Ospital ng Makati for cuts on his cheeks and parts of his head.
************************************************************
What the report didn’t say was that Ranjit Shahani was under the influence while driving. No DUI case was charged against him. Compare this incident to Mel Gibson and Cong. Kennedy…you see the difference between the US police work and RP.
Schumey:
I don’t know,too, if the Americans are withdrawing financial support to the Pidal government. The probability is high because American presently is in an economic jam.
Look at how clumsy the evacuation of Americans was done to the chagrin of everybody caught there in the jam that is in fact a blessing in disguise because the Israelis are not getting 100 percent support in the USA except from their fellow Jews there, and with the Iraq war still very much a reality, I doubt if this is a war that would be more acceptable because Bush cannot use the Moslems as his convenient excuse to give the Jews full military support because the Christians in Lebanon were/are on equal footing with the Moslems there.
America may ask Japan to take over its financial responsibility toward the Philippines, but Japan is already committed to help the Philippines, and I guess the reason why it has agreed to be pressured now by the IMF is to stop other countries from demanding more than it can afford to share especially with 3rd world economies.
This is bad for US image but on the other, it is a blessing in disguise. The US definitely should not give money to Pidal now for she is likely to use the money for paying those who are willing to support her bid for permanent position and permanent occupancy of the palace by the murky river.
We are lobbying for Japan likewise to stop the ODA to the Pidal government until she is gone! And we are doing this with the help of some concerned and prominent Japanese citizens.
Re: GMA’s Fatty Liver: A Destabilization Ploy
Anak ng jueteng Boy Wonder! The bogus President Gloria Arroyo most likely is suffering from fatty liver ailment due to alcohol. She heavily drinks cognac (brandy) to fight stress from work and probably love life. Where’s Udong Mahusay? Malacanang defenders should show to the public a proof like blood test to determine her real health condition. St. Luke’s Hospital physicians advised GMA to avoid fatty and oily foods. This is not a flu virus related advice.
Just for entertainment only. I remember actor Eddie Garcia’s Vos Brandy ad, “Vos brandy pang-romansa”. Baka nasobrahan ang romansa. Mrs. Gloria Arroyo claimed to have an active sex life. Totoo ba itoh????
Diego, how do you know GMA is alcoholic? I think she’s on drugs. She’s into cocaine. That explains all the weird and stupid behavior we see in her.
Well, from a psychic. Hahahahahahaa!!!!
Diego, the psychic you might have consulted could be the one in Quiapo. Mine is more credible and expensive. Who knows, GMA might indeed be a drug addict. And the drugs are supplied by little Mike Defensor who himself was rumored to have been once a drug user in Quezon City while having good time along the Quezon Avenue and Timog areas.
Saw her on TV news tonight. Dishing out some of her usual TV pronouncements about how she is so concerned with the OFW’s plight. She looked odd. Reading from a teleprompter, of course, but with none of the usual facial contortions, no raising of the eyebrows, no bulging eyeballs, or fake smiles or silly detestable grins. Like a robot. Muttering and slurring even. Almost like she was in a hurry to get her statements over with. Like ET wanting to go home. Strange.
Phil, my imagination is running wild again…could the one you saw on TV a clone? She might have been dead. She died at St. Luke’s Hospital. Then, what we see is her look-alike. Nora Aunor might already be back. By this time, she should have completed her sentence which was mere rehabilitation.
npongco,
Maybe it was just my wild “wish ko lang” imagination, too. But I felt she didn’t look her usual self.
On another topic, here’s one news item on the Philippine Star today that could tug your heart out:The Philippine embassy in Greece assisted 26-year-old Brylyn Vilocis Ecoy of Bacolod, who arrived in Beirut only last July 11 and was evacuated from Lebanon to Cyprus together with her employers on July 22.
Ambassador Rigoberto Tiglao said Ecoy’s employers, who hold Australian passports, immediately flew to Australia and left her on her own in the port of Larnaca, Cyprus.
Tiglao said embassy officials immediately organized Ecoy’s repatriation, with the assistance of OWWA representatives in Athens.
Ecoy was scheduled to arrive in Manila yesterday on board a Gulf Air flight.

I am sorry I don’t find the show entertaining, rather I find them really disturbing and dangerous, evil. Whoever is behind these script has the Demon as Director. Imagine what effects these give on the country especially on the young developing brains of children. Somebody please save the children!
I strongly suggest that, just like films, newspapers and broadcasts be rated too and that parents and the public as a whole be informed and educated on this matter.

I’m sorry Ma’m Ellen, you lost me on this on…what “show” was she referring about?
ystakei,
RE “Conejo in Spanish means “rabbit” but among the Filipinas working here, “koneho” means more like “f–k you!”
I didn’t know that…I asked Jiji [Lolo] if he knew, he didn’t either.
I know other bad others but not the one you mentioned.
The last lines shd read:
I know other bad words, but not the one you mentioned.
Taipan:
Or course, no Japanese will know what “koneho” is all about. It is definitely not Japanese but made to sound Japanese that’s why I said “among Filipinas working here.” It is more like when they say, “Gomenkusai!”
I heard it from the Filipinas for the first time and thought at first that it sounded more like “Kono yaroo!” which is an expletive often expressed by the yakuza and uncouth Japanese. It is in fact taboo in our house.
BTW, I read and write perfectly in Japanese, not just speak it. I have been learning it since I was in 5th grade.
I see, one that was “cloned” by Pinays in the ‘workplace.’
I was just wonderin…I might have missed something from my classes.
Thanks for the explanation.
Spartan:
It’s the duel between the Tulfos and the Pidals, or even “The Sabunutan between the Pandak and the Toh!” or “The Final Showdown between the Elephant and the Ant,” and even something like “The Betrayal” or “The Avenging Wife” perhaps.
Not my type of show as a matter of fact, but will be glad for its effect on the still naduduwag na sundalong kanin labas ang tumbong if they will now pull their pants up!
I just asked Jiji that “k-y!” thing and he was sure angry!
Muntik na akong masapok. I shdn’t say those words, he says…
One more thing, ystakei-san,
Who’s bingot? I simply can’t follow the flow becoz I lack
background info on this.
Salamat po.
Taipan:
“Don’t touch my mustache,” so my American friend says because he is having difficulty saying, “Doo itashimashite” (You’re welcome).
No, it’s better said privately with all the threat of being shot down by the Bingot himself!!! Get mo? This one apparently is more serious than the rumor about the mysterious beso-beso with Nani Perez. This time, it is more cradle snatching!!!
Abunai kara, kokode hanasanai hou ga yoi! Wakatta?
Wakarimashita… Suimasen domo.
Sumimasen!
@taipan…bingot is “Mighty Miyak” the “ever gloria defender” Defensor.
“Manang” Yuko thanks for the “show” clarification….hehehe. btw, alam ko lang ay “oishi”(masarap na prawn cracker yun) and “hakone”(masarap na sardinas)…LOL…LOL
Spartan: Thanks po.
Hakone is a place; a resort in between Kanagawa Prefecture[kung saan yung Yokohama kasama] and Shizuoka Prefecture [yung probinsiya kung saan ang Mt. Fuji. Maganda at dinadayo itong Hakone.
I see @taipan…pasensya na at talagang ang alam ko lang na “hakone” ay iyong brand ng sardinas…hehehe…thanks for the “Japanese geography” lesson 😉
The “photo” shown above, who is that “man of the church” shown with Pandak and Fatso? Is he their “middle-man” to the Vatican? No wonder the Roman Catholic Church is really keeping a “blind eye and deaf ear” to the “political killings and abuse” that this regime is orchestrating. Like I always have said, I was born a Roman Catholic, grew-up a Roman Catholic, but DON’T TRUST the church…I trust GOD…but not this “humans” who thinks and acts “holy” because they “work” for the church but deep inside are just “the same” like you, me, and all of us…flesh and blood…prone to doing “evil” things…PWE!!!!!!!
Spartan, OK na OK yong joke mo sa “Oishi and Hakone”. Sumakit ang tiyan ko sa katatawa.
With your indulgence, off topic:
Billy Esposo endorsing Sonny Belmonte to replace GMA? What’s wrong with him? Now it’s out, for Esposo, this issue is about power and politics. Now he will ask what’s wrong with Belmonte; I say nothing, ONLY HE SEES NOTHING WRONG ABOUT gma!!!
Spartan: OK lang…
Meron pang isa na lagi nating nakikita sa Pinas.
*Nakita na ba ninyo yung “SABA” brand ng sardinas?
SABA here is mackerel. Uri ng isda. Yun din palagay ko ang isdang sinardinas….
Dirk Pitt,
on power and politics:
Ano kaya ang dahilan bakit may “Betty Go-Belmonte LRT2 station”? Samantalang BOSTON station naman ito noon?
Kung inyong matatandaan noong 1st anniversary ng “pipols pawer tu”(kuno), nagkaroon pa ng reunion itong mga SPICE BOYS!
Ano sa palagay nyo kung mabuhay muli ang init ng spice boys?kakagatin kaya sila ng masa?
baka sila sila mismo ay magkagatan dahil aso sila ng nasa malakanyang!
Is there a difference between a Mon Tulfo and a Chavit Singson? But there is a whole lot of similarities. If in EDSA 2, the people listened to a Chavit Singson, then the people may be willing to listen to a Mon Tulfo–he’s just approaching the “wrong” dude to give his expose. He should go to Peping Conjuangco–the same one who helped Chavit in February 1999 (It wasn’t until October 1999 that Chavit went public and accussed ERAP).
There indeed are lots of similarities between Singson and Tulfo. How nice is it to see them draw their guns like cowboys in the movie and shoot at each other. And why didn’t Mon go to Peping? Mon might not trust “Ponga” as he is fondly called. Let’s wait for further development. If Mon goes to Bishop Cruz or Tobias, it may help. Oh how Cardinal Sin would love to join the fray if he’s only alive today.
The Tulfos and Mike Arroyo deserve each other. But Gloria Arroyo is the one using the Tulfos, according to Mon. So they are still together. Quarrel among thieves.
God takes an almighty battering from Gen-Y

FEWER than half of young Australians believe in God, but a growing number are turning towards tarot readers and psychics for answers.
A new study has revealed less than 50 per cent of Australia’s Generation Y identify with a traditional religion, while tarot readers and psychics are riding the wave of youth demand.
A large number of Victorian parents are now hiring professional card readers and fortune tellers to appear at their children’s 18th and 21st birthday parties.
The Spirit of Generation Y by Monash and Australian Catholic Universities and the Christian Research Association, revealed most young Australians classify their spirituality as humanist or eclectic, and many are happy to dabble in alternative spiritual practices.
Melbourne-based psychic Jacquelene Close Moore said rising demand led to her conducting many teenage party readings in the past year.
“I have also been at 21sts where I have had more than 100 people line up,” Ms Close Moore said.
Most young people are looking for advice on careers, relationships and spirituality, she said.
“They don’t follow religious beliefs just because their parents do,” Ms Close Moore said.
Teenagers must be at least 18 years old to see a psychic.
President of the Tarot Guild of Australia Linda Marson said card-reading had become very popular among teenagers.
“It is great young people are wanting to get in touch with their spirituality, whichever way they do it,” Ms Marson said.
Released yesterday, the study of 1272 young people also revealed only one in five young Catholics attend mass at least once a month.
The survey also found young people aged 13 to 24 valued their friends, excitement, helpfulness and social justice above spirituality.

Spartan:
Tama ka. Iyan “Hakone” brand na sardinas ang alam kong kinakain ng mga nakakulong sa Muntinlupa! Kapag nakulong si Pandak doon, iyan ang kakainin niya.
Made in Japan ba iyan? Kasi wala pa akong nakitang tindang ganyan sa Japan.
Tama si Taipan, Hakone is a resort in Kanagawa Prefecture where you can have a good view of Mt. Fuji.
May bagong gimmick si Pandak at alipores niya. Oops, hindi na pala bago dahil noong first week ng Lebanon-Israel conflict iyan na ang sinasabi ng mga tuta niya sa Lebanon na walang escape route. Ngayon siguro talagang wala na, pero umaasa pang baka matapos na ang guerra sayang nga naman ang ipapamasahe sa mga OFWs na hindi pa nakakauwi. At talagang ayaw kumasa dahil baka nga iyong OWWA fund ay nai-transfer na sa Pida Fund.
Hindi pa man ay may excuse na ang mga walanghiyang magnanakaw at sinungaling! Unbelievable! Dito iyan nasibak na iyan. Aaraw-arawin kasi iyan ng media dito hanggang sa masira nang husto ang reputation ng mga ungas na iyan. Too bad, si Ellen, Macasaet, at iilan lang yata ang matapang na journalists sa Pilipinas. Puro lang mga bayaran at paarte-arte lang.
To Ellen at iba pang matatapang na journalists na pilipino—MABUHAY KAYONG LAHAT!
Earlier, you guys were trying to translate the word “conejo”. Surprisingly and funny, I came across this news item today and found out our Foreign Affairs Unsec. for Migrant Workers’ last name is CONEJOS. Please read:
“THE Philippines has asked Israel to allow a large group of Filipino workers to flee Lebanon through a naval blockade imposed by the Israelis on their northern neighbor, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Esteban Conejos said Saturday.”
Off topic: Manny Pacquiao has been recruited to push Cha-Cha. Whatever happens to that murder case of one radio man in Gensan committed by his bodyguard whom witnesses said was ordered by Pacquiao?
Movement says Pacquiao recruited to lead celebrities in endorsing Palace-backed Cha-cha
After his successive endorsements of various products through print, radio and television commercials, has sensational boxing champion Manny Pacquiao already been recruited to endorse the Charter change (Cha-cha) campaign?
The Black and White Movement (BWM) yesterday said it received “information” that Pacquiao will lead a pack of celebrities in endorsing the controversial Cha-cha campaign.
“We’ve heard that new ads are coming out, this time with celebs like Pacquiao endorsing Cha-cha. Not too surprising since he already announced (Friday) morning that he’s running for vice mayor of Manila. Great,” it said in its Web log.
Pacquiao has been known to be a supporter of the Arroyo government and of her political ally Manila Mayor Joselito Atienza.
npongco,
Can we really expect more from a boxer?! He even allows himself to be used by politicians like Atienza. Atienza gave him a condo in Manila, obviously may kapalit–run in the Vice-Mayoralty race in Manila–para tangay pa rin ni Atienza ang Maynila.
Indeed, Pacquiao is what one may say is ““…stupid is as stupid does.” But that would be too heavy for him to undestand, much less grasp. Pacquiao should just stick to what he does best: Boxing.
Former Senator Tito Sotto even has an advice for this idiot Pacquiao; that is, Pacquiao has to study and learn first how to govern before running an office as high as vice mayorship in a populated city like Manila. Blame all these to Malacanang! With Lito Lapid as Makati Mayor and Pacquiao as Manila Vice Mayor, you can just imagine how Metro Manila would look like.
If an air head and flea brain named Lito Lapid made it to the Senate, Pacquiao will probably win by a landslide in Manila. How terrible that would be for Manileños!
What the heck will a Pacquiao contribute in Manila? Boxing? Singing? Cha-cha? Womannizing skills? Gheez!
Come to think of it, it would be to the advantage of Malacañan to have a Lito Lapid and a Pacquiao–the DUMBER her alipores are, the better for ARROVO to shine. Take for example the current evacuation of the OFWs. Majority of those handling this crisis are BOBOs! And then ARROVO appoints VP de Castro to head the Lebanon Taskforce to handle the evacuation of the OFWs. Again, ARROVO fields in a BOBO. If ARROVO thinks moves likes make her look intelligent, she’s mistaken. It makes her look more TONTA!
Pacquiao would only be Gloria’s rubber stamp and errand boy just like Lito Lapid. It’s like raising their hands in the classroom when the teacher says something. These two idiots’ mission is only to act as Malacanang’s watchdogs and enforcers.
I agree with you on that one, NPongco.
