Binigyan ng MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board) ng X rating and pelikula ni dating Pangulong Estrada ng X rating. Ibig sabihin noon hindi mapanood ng publiko.
Ngunit hindi sinabi ng MTRCB na bawal panoorin sa loob ng bahay mo.
Mas matindi pala ang interpretasyon ng military dahil ipamigay mo lang ang CD ni Erap, kulong ka na.
Ganoon ang nangyari kay 1Lt. Artemio A. Raymundo na ngayon ay mag-isang buwan ng nakakulong sa Philippine Marine Corps Brig dahil namigay raw siya ng CD ng “Para Mabuhay sa Masa” at “At All Cost”.
Ang “Mabuhay sa Masa” ay tungkol sa buhay ni Estrada at ang kanyang pagpasok sa pulitika, mula ng siya ay mayor ng san Juan hanggang siya ay naging pangulo. Kasama rin doon ang pagpatalsik sa kanya sa Malacañang.
Ang “At All Cost” naman ay tungkol sa dayaan noong 2004 elections at ipinakita kung ano talaga dapat ang resulta ng eleksyon kung hindi minadyik nina Gloria Arroyo, katulong si Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano, ang resulta ng eleksyon. Ang panalo dapat ay si Fernando Poe, Jr.
Ang “At All Cost” ay base sa statistics at hindi lang haka-haka. Klarong hindi binoto si Arroyo ng taumbayan na pangulo.
Sa sinumpaan na salaysay ni Raymundo, sinabi niya na nakuha niya ang anim na CD mga dalawang buwan na ang nakaraan nang siya ay sumakay sa LRT. Nakita raw niyang nagdamputan ang mga tao ng CD, kaya kumuha rin siya .
Dahil anim naman ang nakuha niya, pinamigay na rin niya sa iba. Aba, hinuli siya ni Maj. Danilo Luna noong Sept. 25 at sinabing nasa 16th Marine Company headquarters lang siya.
Noong hapon, sinabi ni Raymundo na pupunta siya sa kapwa opisyal na nasa loob rin ng 16th Marine headquarters at nagsagutan sila ni Luna. Inis raw si Luna dahil hindi man lamang nag-sorry si Raymundo sa kanyang ginawang pag-distribute ng CD. Kaya nilipat sa Philippine Marines Brig kung saan nakakulong siya hanggang ngayon.
Noong bagyong Milenyo nga raw ay basing- basa ang higaan ni Raymundo dahil tumutulo ang kanyang kwarto.
Nag-file ng petisyon para habeas corpus si Raymundo at ang kanyang asawang si Ma. Salome sa Court of Appeals para siya ay palayain dahil sabi ng kanyang mga abogado wala namang batas na nagsasabing bawal magmigay ng CD.
Wala ring order na nagsabing bawal manood or mamigay ng “Ang Mabuhay para sa Masa” at “At All Cost”
Ang linagay ngayon ni Luna na kasalanan ni Raymundo ay “Disrespect to superior officer”.
Paano mo naman respetuhin ang ganoong opisyal?
Update on the case of Lt. Raymundo:
Lieutenant faces court martial for distributing Erap video
A MARINE lieutenant is facing investigation, preparatory to possible court martial, for distributing to fellow soldiers copies of a video documentary on the life of President Joseph Estrada, which government has given a “triple x” rating.
Marines spokesman Lt. Col. Ariel Caculitan said 1st Lt. Artemio Raymundo, detailed with the Marine Field Artillery Battalion, was ordered confined to barracks as early as last month for the infraction.
Caculitan said Maj. Danilo Luna, Raymundo’s commanding officer, ordered Raymundo to stop distributing copies of “Ang Mabuhay para sa Masa (To Live for the Masses).”
“There was an order not to distribute the Erap video and he was defiant,” Caculitan said.
Raymundo ignored the order, prompting Luna to order his confinement to barracks, Caculitan said.
Caculitan said Raymundo’s battalion conducted an initial investigation and the conclusion of the probe was a recommendation to try him in a court martial for “insubordination.”
Caculitan said the office of the Judge Advocate General at the Marines is conducting further investigation on Raymundo.
“What we are looking at is insubordination. There was an order and he disobeyed it,” he said.
Asked what office ordered the banning of the documentary in the military, Caculitan said: “I don’t know, maybe GHQ (general headquarters). You better ask Colonel Bacarro why it’s banned.”
He was referring to AFP public information officer Lt. Col. Bartolome Bacarro.
Bacarro, in a press briefing, said there was no directive coming from Camp Aguinaldo banning the documentary video. But he said military leaders agree that there is a “political color” to the documentary.
“As far as I’m concerned, there is no directive (by GHQ to ban the video),” said Bacarro even as he justified Luna’s order to confine Raymundo.
“We all know that the CD has a political color and it is the inherent job of every commander to ensure that his men are isolated from partisan politics. So it was the judgment of the commander to ask initially Lt. Raymundo to stop distributing this CD,” he said.
Bacarro said Luna initially summoned and warned Raymundo against distributing the copies of the CD after some officers who received copies reported Raymundo’s activities to Luna.
“But despite the warning, instruction given by his battalion commander, he still continued to distribute these CDs,” Bacarro said.
Bacarro said Luna again summoned Raymundo for possible restriction to quarters. “When he was informed that he is being confined to quarters, he turned unruly and he talked back to his battalion commander and this constitute a violation of Article of War 64, disrespect to a senior officer,” he said.
Apart from violation of the Article of War 64, Bacarro said Raymundo could also face a charge of violation of the Article of War 65 or insubordination for failing to comply with the specific instruction of his superior or disobeying a superior officer.
“When he was told to stop it, that was a legal order. He disobeyed it. Then when he was being placed under confinement he talked back to his senior officer, which has the authority to confine him. That again constitutes another violation of Articles of War, that is disrespect to a superior officer,” he said. – Victor Reyes
ang alam ko sa amerika, bawal humalo sa pulitika ang isang kawal kahit na anong rango mo pa. kung gusto mong sumali sa pulitika, umalis ka muna at maging sibilyan. kung hindi ako nagkakamali, ang militar natin ay kopya sa mga kano.
ang VCD ni erap ay isang pulitika – walang kaduda-duda. at si erap ay nagsasabi na siya pa rin ang pangulo ng pilipinas.
gayon pa man, mali ang aksyon na ginagawa ng militar.
Update from the Inquirer:
That’s what happen when you prostitute the military, Kaniya-kaniyang sipsip. Kung sino ang mas malakas sumipsip o kaya humigop siyempre mas malaking premyo ang naghihintay sa kaniya. Tulad nitong Si Major Danilo Luna, baka sa kasisipsip akala niya siya ang susunod na maging Chief of Staff.
Bogus Gloria Arroyo cheated and lied to Pilipino nation. Fake Gloria Arroyo as Vice President overthrew a legitimate President of the Philippines. Illegitimate Gloria has no moral authority to govern the Philippines. Bogus Gloria has defied the legal ruling of the Supreme Court and continue to be defiant, and has broken the law of the land not once, not twice, but 10 times more than the person fingers he has or she has. And now this illegal hypocrites is citing the articles of war to Lt Raymundo? Where this bunch of hypocrites coming off? Insubordination? My eye! How about this uniform henerales when they conspired to assist bogus Gloria to rigged the election, should they be charged of unbecoming officers and gentlemen?
Like I said before, bogus Gloria as commander-in-cheat should be the one prosecuted for culpability in squandering the Philippine Treasury and negligence.
“Ang Mabuhay Para Sa Masa” is a triple xxx. What a joke! Have anybody seen the movie with hard core women and guys really going at it? I think, bogus Gloria Arroyo should be the one censored and given xxxx rated for showing her naked face in public.
toney,
gusto mo bang bumalik si presidente erap sa pagka-pangulo ng pilipinas? ano ang masasabi mo sa pag-tistigo ni clarissa ocampo laban kay erap?
I have always reminded everybody to stick to issues. The purpose of this blog is to encourage discussion so that we can learn from each other even from those whose opinions are different from ours.
I have been deleting comments that cast doubts on other visitor’s motives or personal background. I find those kind of comments counter-productive. It wastes everybody’s time and efforts.
I will continue to delete such comments.
Bakit ba takot na takot sa Bansot sa movie ni Erap. Kung talagang walang sinabi si Erap at talagang hindi popular gaya ng sabi ni Bansot na siya ang mas gusto ng bayan, ano ang kinakatakot niya sa mga pinagsasabi ni Erap sa movie niya? Sirit? Kasi mas kapanipaniwala ang mga sinabi sa Erap movie kesa sa mga kabulastugang pinapakalat niya at ng asawa niyang Tabatsoy. Baba na! PATALSIKIN NA, NGAYON NA!
Ellen,
I hate to say this but your blog is starting to look like
a ‘I hate Gloria’ blog. Take this thread for example.
I think the issue here could be ‘is it right for military personnels to distribute political materials’?
Or, did the military overreacted on the matter?
But look at the responses.
hindinapinoy:
I’m glad you asked the question, “gusto mo bang bumalik si presidentt erap sa pagka- pangulo ng pilipinas? First, I don’t care about the testigo ni Clarissa Ocampo, as I don’t care the testigo ni Garcillano and Bunye when both appeared in Congress and lied, Hello Garci and “I’ve two tapes.”
We might not like the fact that President Erap was duly elected President of the Philippines, but the undeniable truth is he was, in accordance to the constitution of the Philippines. He was still in Malacanang when bogus Gloria and Hilario Davide conspired to swore fake Gloria under the constructive resignation. Do you recall that event at Edsa?
President Estrada were never legally impeached in accordance to the law. If you also recall on tapes that both Husband and Wife, Miguel and Gloria plotted and planned the overthrowing of President Estrada, bloodshed matter not. Do you also recall that admissable by the couple?
Reality is, not what I want, but what would satisfy justice, the rule of law? As far as I know bogus Gloria is illegitimate head and has no moral authority to govern the country. And if I’ve my way President Estrada will be reinstated to his rightful position in office. Again, is not what my desire, but justice requires it as civilized nation and if we strongly believe in democracy. And I do!
hindinapinoy:
How can you in the name of human decency still support bogus Gloria’s policy to detain or encarcerate or jail President Estrada and the never ending prosecution when it’s quite obvious that bogus Gloria doesn’t have anything to convict President Estrada? Don’t you think six years is long enough to find President Estrada guilty of somekind even with any fabricated charges against him. Do you believe President Estrada the treatment he’s getting from bogus Gloria? Do you believe it’s jsutified? Furthermore, do you think Chavit Singson is telling the truth when he testified against President Estrada?
Injustice has been done by bogus Gloria not only to President Estrada but the Philippines as a whole. The Pilipinos are the victims, like you and I.
Toney,
Maaaring may katotohanan ang sinasabi mo. Pero malaki ang katotohanan na si clarissa ocampo ay tumistigo laban kay erap. dapat bang makulong si erap? mahirap sabihin.
mahirap na rin siyang makabalik. militar na ang may pwersa ngayon sa pilipinas. tatayo ba si gloria kung walang militar sa likod niya? babagsak ba si erap kung may militar sa likod niya? nakatikim ng kapangyarihan ang militar. ang pilipinas ngayon ay isang BANANA republic na lamang.
toney,
hindi mo ba napapansin ang ginagamit kong pangalan dito? sumuko na ako sa pilipinas. ni minsan hindi ko ipinagtanggol si gloria dito.
toney,
si clarissa ocampo lang ang pinaniwalaan ko.
hindinapinoy;
It’s not quite hard not to hate bogus Gloria of what she did to the country. Bogus Gloria made a mockery of the judicial system, ignored and laughed at Congress and continues to squander the Philippines Treasury without accountability nor checks and balances as the law requires. What bothered me the most was bogus Gloria’s disregard to the constitution of the land. She think she’s above the law.
Subversion of govt, Coup d’etat and Hello Garci are not fiction, they’re as real as you and I.
hindinapinoy:
Clarissa Ocampo is where now? In a safe heaven and she made sure she took care of No. 1.
I don’t pay no mind to your screen name, it’s just a name. I’m most concern to the substance of your messages, and not the messenger(s).
hindinapinoy:
The biggest problem as I see it now, while bogus Gloria remain in power is the Pilipinos are losing hope of the future. And many has given up like yourself and we let bogus Gloria do whatever she pleases as long as it doesn’t touch the comfort of your home.
You’re absolutely correct about the Military supporting bogus Gloria or else bogus Gloria would’ve been long gone. But I still believe in the majority of the people, that someday will awoke to the reality facing them. We, Pilipinos, can’t take our problems to other countries, somehow we must all stand up and claim what rightfully belong to us, in our own land.
Philippines is not really that bad, only those governing the people that need to be changed.
Ms Ellen don’t let anybody get you down. You’re doing a marvelous job to your country and policing this blog. Keep up the good work. Some of us just need some growing up, including myself.
Justice will prevail! Making life worth living!
And thanks for the moment!

hindipinoy: korek ka jan. as far as protesting naman; pwedeng makisali sa protesta ang mga militar ng estados unidos, basta hindi nakasuot ng military uniform so it wouldn’t/shouldn’t represent the beliefs of the armed forces but only by the individual himself/herself.
toney,
ganyan din ang sabi ko noong panahon ni marcos.
umasa din ako na darating ang panahon. dumating na at nakalipas ang panahon na iyon at napatalsik si marcos. pero wala ring nangyari.
ang sabi mo “Philippines is not really that bad, only those governing the people that need to be changed”. pero saan ba galing ang mga namuno at namumuno ngayon sa pilipinas. pilipino din sila. kaya ang nangyayari, palit-palit lang ang magnanakaw sa malakanyang.
ang nakakatakot ngayon ay ang militar ng pilipinas. sila na halos ang may kapangyarihan.
Makasingit nga ako sa usapan ni Toney at Hindinapinoy. Ang sabi ni HNP ay si Clarissa Ocampo lang ang pinaniniwalaan niya. Kung gayon ay medyo dapat mag-research siya dahil bistado na na si Ocampo ay nagpagamit para magsinungaling laban kay Erap. Matagal nang lumabas at tinalakay ang isyung ito kay Ocampo ng mga diaryo, at nabulol na si Ocampo sa korte (sandiganbayan) nang siya ay i-cross examine doon. Kaya ayon, lipad na rin o pinalipad na rin away from pinas. At saka ang mga issues naman na pinag-uusapan dito ay may mga koneskyon, kaya stick pa rin tayo sa isyu na sinisimulan ni Ellen. Interdependent causation ‘ika nga. Off topic lang naman kung sinisingitan ng mga personalan na talagang hindi magandang basahin. Overall, informative ang blog na ito.
hindinapinoy..I agree with your statement about the “growing power” of the “military hierarchy” in the “running of our country”…considering the present situation, at least in Thailand their military “clearly made” a coup` de etat..pero diyan sa atin, para lamang silang “anino” na lumulukob sa “buong gobyerno”. Bakit nangyayari ito? It is because of our country’s current “political crisis and instability”…na kagagawan ni gloria. Now, I am sorry to disagree with your “statement” …this blogsite is becoming a “I hate gloria” forum…because “hate” is such a “mediocre word”…we don’t just hate her…we “despise” her…kung ano iyong “pinakamalalim” na salita patungkol sa “pagkamuhi” sa isang nilalang…iyon ang nararamdaman ng “karamihan” dito if not all kay gloria. Dahil “SIYA” ang mismong problema kung bakit ABUSADO ngayon ang mga kagaya ni esperon, palparan, et al. Kasi nga tulad ng lagi kong sinasabi, “hawak nga ni gloria ang mga “balls” ng mga WALANGHIYANG heneral na ito, pero PIGA-PIGA naman nila ang “maliit na leeg” ng aleng maliit. We can compare their current “existance” duon sa “relasyon” ng PATING at isdang REMORA…ang isa ay amo at ang isa ay “parasite”, pero hindi mo “ma-distiguish” kung sino ang sino.
Talagang itong issue na ito ay tungkol sa “SIPSIP”-an sa military.
hindinapinoy: Sabi mo ‘kaya ang nangyayari, palit-palit lang ang magnanakaw sa malakanyang’.
Very true. Agree with you 100%. Saka mas malala ang successor kaysa predecessor, kasi ay natututuo sa huli. So, kahit i believe it is time for Glue to go, i doubt if the next one will be good enough. Cycle lang ito na paulit-ulit. Matagal na itong sinasabi na ‘ingrained na sa culture ng pilipino ang corruption.’ Well, kahit hindi ka corrupt sa una, bandang huli any maco-corrupt ka rin. Style pilipino kasi ang palusot, kaya kahi may law, may palusot, so tuloy and ligaya ng mga bulastog.
with all the “hooplah!” that is happening around “d Enchanted Kingdom”..ano pa nga ba’t hindi namamalayan ng marami sa atin na Nobyembre na naman, at sunod of course ay Disyembre..another year would be “swept by” the current called “time”…pero ano na ang KALAGAYAN ng ating bansa? Me nagbago ba? Aside from the “billboards” that were making the Metro Manila skyline dark and “obstructed”, meron ba? Wala..wala…wala. Demandahan ng libelo dito duon, sa pangunguna ng “balat sibuyas pero balat balyena naman talaga” na si “tabang lamig” mike arroyo, holdapan dito holdapan duon, kalamidad dito kalamidad duon…papogi ni ganito papogi ni ganuon…korupsyon, pamumulitka…at ang pinaka masama ay ang patuloy na PANLILINLANG AT PAGSISINUNGALING, PAG-AABUSO SA KAPANGYARIHAN ng isang maliit na babae, na may pangalang “taliwas” ang ibig sabihin sa totong nangyayari sa buhay ng “masang Pilipino”. Ang sakit sa kalooban na makita mo ang mga “kapwa” mo Pilipino, na dahil sa MATINDING KAHIRAPAN, ay parang mga “langgam” na dudumog kung saan “inaakalang” me “matamis na grasyang” sila’y makukuha. Early this year, ULTRA, Pasig City…stampede dahil sa Wowowee, dahil sa “false belief” of instant “redemption” from poverty, thousands “flocked” to that place which resulted to the death of 71 people, and injuries to hundreds. Now, just the other day…hundreds trooped to Quiapo when they “heard” that this former Manila Congressman, who is “filthy rich” but could be considered “insane” announced that he would be “giving out” or “doling out” money for the “poor”. Is this “what the Filipino became into”? When that “Usec” of DILG made his “emotional statement” concerning the ULTRA stampede..”that ABS-CBN treated the people there like a pack of hungry wolves”…masakit pakinggan, pero kung aalisin ng isang Pilipino ang kaniyang “kaipokrituhan”, magaang niyang matatanggap na IYON ANG KATOTOHANAN sa nangyayari sa ating bansa sa ngayon. Bakit sumusulpot ang mga grupo na tulad ng SIGnAW ng BAYAN? Nakakalap ng mga pirma mula sa mga taong “naninirahan” sa mga “depressed areas” kapalit ng bigas, noodles, sardinas, at kaunting “barya”. Kaya kung ang “laman” ng DVD ni ERAP ay tungkol o “bumabanggit” sa mga kaganapang ito, mahirap “lunukin” ng numero unong IPOKRITO na ale sa Malakanyang ang ganitong KATOTOHANAN. Dahil sa kaniyang isipan ay mayroon pa siyang humigit-kumulang na apat pang taon sa kaniyang “kinalu-luklukan”.
kitamo,
salamat at nakita mo ang punto ko. huwag sanang husgahan na ang may ibang pananaw ay maka-gloria. sa tingin ko sa ngayon, ang pilipinas ay walang direksyon. kahit mag kudeta, bulok na military din ang hahawak. tagumpay yata ang mga kastila sa pagsira sa ating moralidad. mahigit 200 daang taon na hinubog yata tayo sa ganitong buhay.
fellow bloggers,you are all right!!its the military now that it is being used to thwart the will of the people..but not all..it is only the name AFP or PNP,there are some honest and descent soldier and police just waiting for the right time.mr ermita is one of the people of GMA ordering verbally to esperon in case of afp and calderon in pnp.in afp it is the isafp and in pnp its the cidg who handles all the dirty tricks,on execution of students,and all who is against GMA it is the isafp using their men in the field under MIG office such as mig 15 and 21 in ncr and mig 2 in regions 2 and so forth.the mig uses soldiers,ex soldiers criminals and asset as operators and spotters,known commanders of this agencies is ltc rabonza and boac who have orders execution of students and other militant farmers and others,in cidg it is supt verzosa who handles the investigation and cover up a known friend of FG and the leader of the group who monitors opposition is supt dolina.this people had killed a lots of innocent civilians and arrested known or suspect as anti-GMA.this mr ermita had appointed a lot of ex military and ex pnp in the goverment portfolio for the reason that they are all now in the final stage of taking the goverment and run it like myanmar once GMA is in the edge.and mr ermita knows this for a fact that GMA`s downfall is eminent any time,and they dont want to be caught unguarded when this time come.they are all harrasing not only opposition or anti GMA,but also their own people to show that they are in control.this group of GMA and mr ermita fears most erap and mayor binay because of their mass support..not only in masses,student but also in the afp and pnp.we should be very vigilant and be always prepare to mobilize people and unite in ousting not only this evil GMA but also this mr ermita and his evil minions..this people must pay for all the crime, messes and misdeeds they have created to our country and to the filipino people!!
spartan,
tama ka rin. pa ikot-ikot lang ang pinoy.
ang mga politiko, may pera dahil sa kurakot. ang mga mahihirap naman, iboboto ang magbibigay sa kanila ng pera (bigas, instant noodles, pamasahe, at iba pa). pagnanalo na, kailangan namang bumawi. ang mga nakapaligid naman sa politiko, kailangang ma-ambunan ng biyaya.
ocayville,
dream on. masyado nang politicized at corrupt ang military ng pilipinas. parang malacanang na rin. at pag nag kudeta, malamang hindi na bumaba.
Hindi lang takot sa katotohanan si Pandak pati pakunwari o kasinungalingan ay idinamay pa ang dating Santo Papa. What’s really happening in Gloria’s Enchanted Kingdom? The great pretender cannot suppress the truth forever. Legitimacy issue cannot easily sweep under the rugs. She has no clear mandate. According to congenital liar Gloria Arroyo claimed that Pope Paul II inspired EDSA DOS KUDETA. Nobody can verify what really transpired in her alleged conversation with the Pope. Singaw ni Gloria lang pala. Sino ang maniniwala?

Arroyo says pope meeting inspired her to seek administration change
MANILA, April 8 Kyodo
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, in Rome for Pope John Paul II’s burial, said Friday that a meeting with the pontiff in October 2000 gave her the courage to join the movement seeking a change in administration that led to her assumption of the presidency in 2001.
”It was after my conversation with the pope that I finally found the…courage or conviction that I should make a break and join the bloodless revolution,” Arroyo, a devout Catholic, said in response to a question during a CNN television interview.
”The pope had a very, very keen sense of understanding of what is happening in the Philippines. And he was very encouraging toward me with regards to taking steps to make sure that I would do what I could do in order to promote morality in Philippine society,” she said.
Arroyo’s first meeting with the pope in Rome in 2000 when she was still the vice president coincided with impeachment proceedings against then President Joseph Estrada, who was later charged with massive corruption. Estrada was ousted in January 2001, replaced by Arroyo, who was voted to a fresh six-year term last May.

“sumali ba pulitika” si lt. Artemio Raymundo for possessing and passing along the erap videos?
if that’s the case, then bawal rin manood at magpasa rin ng fahrenheit 9/11 o mga downloaded Daily Show episodes ang mga US military men dahil obviously “pulitika yan” and because it tries to undermine the faith and confidence of the people in the Arroyo government.
Come to think of it, Spartan, matagal nang issue iyong mga billboards na puro papuri lang naman sa mga sarili ng mga politiko. Walang magawa kasi na isang katutak ng reklamo, o isang bagyo lang, tanggal na lahat. Iyong US base noong early 90’s ayaw pa rin paalisin kahit na napasa na ang batas na bawal nang may foreign bases sa Pilipinas, o anong nangyari? Pumutok ang bundok na matagal nang tulog! Next baka sa Mindanao lumubog na ang islang iyan kung iaadya ng nasa itaas sa mga making palakad na hindi na mapahinto. In short, Spartan, it seems that God in His own good time will sweep the Philippines para luminis na dahil wala rin namang nagagawa ang mga dada. Puro palusot lang!
Mga EDSA napalpak kasi balik lang naman sa dati. Mga dating mukha naman ang nandoon kundi naman mga anak at apo ng mga dating mga ulupong, mandaraya, etc. Labas ganoon pa rin, lalo pang sumama nang binago ang mga batas na dapat ay applicable sa kanila pero hindi kundi para lang sa mga iilan na sila pa rin ang dating bida samantalang gutom pa rin ang mga mahihirap na hindi na lalong nakaangat gawa na lalong hirap at dusa. Sa tingin ko mas sobra pa ang mga kawalanghiyaan nangyayari ngayon lalo na nang haluan ng mga politika pati relihiyon.
Kawawang bansa. Pero kahit ano pa ang sabihin dapat nang patalsikin iyon mga nakaupong walang namang karapatang umupo. Hindi dapat bigyan ng pagkakataong maging reyna engkantada iyong bansot. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Ang isyu dito sa loop na ito ay ang pagsupil sa kalayaan ng mga mamamayan na mapanood ang pelikulang ginawa ni Erap at marinig ang CD ng ginawang pandaraya ni Bansot. Kung hindi totoo ang sinasabi ni Erap, ano ang dapat ikatakot ni Bansot? Ganoon ba kakitid at kabobo ang mga pilipino para maniwala sa propaganda ni Estrada? E ano naman ang mas mamahaling mga pakulo ni Bansot habang gutom ang mga pilipino na pati kidney nila ibinebenta na nila para pantawid-gutom nila? Puede ba, tama na ang mga palusot? PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
hindinapinoy said:”Ellen,I hate to say this but your blog is starting to look like a ‘I hate Gloria’ blog.'”
Hindinapinopy, that doesn’t concern me at all. If that’s the sentiments of many Filipinos, then so be it.That means many Filipinos still value truth and justice. That’s a positive indication.
Elticol Bacarro is no different from Elticol Kison who blundered on Erap-5 scenario.
Both are loose cannon from the AFP.
erap is already part of the issue from the very beginning. it was his video that got banned and it got a navy officer in trouble for possessing it.
hindi ba the Secretary of Injustice raul gonzales at first tried to arrest anybody in possession of those garci tapes?
actually, most people here are in favor of special elections to replace your president dinapinoy.
and i have no problems with erap in jail, as long as makulong rin at makasama ni erap si arroyo sa bilangguan.
but if arroyo’s hypocritical defenders refuse to allow their president to suffer the same fate, then might as well free erap na rin.
you’re entitled to your own opinion, dinapinoy.
anyway, like i say to the other trolls and troublemakers trying to stir the pot, nobody’s forcing you to visit this blog. may i suggest sassylawyers, bong austero, or the manila standard today instead.
and why are we still talking re clarisa ocampo? that is so 2001. i guess dinapinoy is really trying to change the topic from the admin’s censorship and ruthless policies
to a rehash of erap’s impeachment trial, who was already ousted like 5 years ago and is now under house arrest.
from arroyo’s censorship policies to erap’s impeachment trial and edsa dos. see the connection?
edit: hindi ba the Secretary of Injustice raul gonzales also tried a similar tactic at first by tring to arrest anybody in possession of those garci tapes?
and your FG is one of the main reasons for that. or have you not read the phil. graphic interview?

sumali ba sa pulitika si lt. Artemio Raymundo for possessing and passing along the erap videos?
if that’s the case, then bawal rin manood at magpasa rin ng dvd copies ng fahrenheit 9/11 o mga downloaded Daily Show episodes ang mga US military men dahil obviously “pulitika yan” and because “it tries to undermine the faith and confidence of the people” in the Bush government, ano?
Based on the above news, Major Luna gave an order to 1Lt Raymundo to “stop distributing the DVDs” but Raymundo disobeyed, was thus confined to barracks and now will be facing a court martial.
I am flabbergasted Ellen.
It doesn’t make sense that a junior officer should be facing a court martial because he disobeyed his superior’s order to stop distributing the Erap DVD.
First of all, we are not talking here of foot soldiers but of a junior officer. There is clearly a wanton disregard for proper procedures. The offense, if we may call that an offense is not a serious one that warrants a court martial.
Secondly, the unit commander could easily address the offender with a summation brief first saying that if he continued to disobey his superior’s order, he would be called in, along with the superior who issued the order, to explain what happened.
Thirdly, The young officer should be able to explain, outside a court martial, why he disobeyed the verbal order; during the ‘interrogation’, it is up to his superior too to explain why he gave a verbal order for the junior officer to desist from further distributing the DVD.
To show that there was indeed a violation of an article of war, there should have been a written order from the start.
Any military order that does not entail security risk or put the lives of elements of the military at risk or is outside military operations may be questioned by the receiver of the order who is entitled under military rules to be provided with an answer.
(The DVD in question could easily be equated with the porn or adult rated films proliferating in military camps and do not necessarily contravene or violate military rules unless otherwise stipulated in a military guideline.)
The process by which the military is punishing the junior soldier is going out of hand. What do this people think they are doing? By elevating this issue to a court martial offense, the AFP has managed stupidly and idiotically to lend more political color to what could have been a forgettable affair.
Major Luna went over the limit and boundaries expected of a good military commander. Clearly, he is a poor commander.
Military officers are also bound by this code: NEVER ISSUE AN ORDER THAT CANNOT BE OBEYED. No ifs, no buts.
John:
You bet, this Ocampo is already history. In fact, the court has already established that this woman has committed a contempt of court, even perjury when she lied on oath.
As for Erap returning to the presidency, I doubt, for I understand that there will be in interim administration just in case the Midget steps down, and the Senate President has to take over since when the bogus president admits that she has cheated in the last election, then there is the possibility too that Loren Legarda’s contention that she has been cheated herself to be true, and presto, both the bogus president and the still to be declared bogus VP shall be stripped off of their present titles, bogus though they are, then the Senate President shall take over, and within 60 or 90 days (?) has to declare a snap election. One suggestion is that none of the officials to serve in the interim election should run in the snap election para less dayaan.
As far as I am concerned, I would opt for the abolition of the useless agency called “COMELEC”! They should not in fact have appointees serving there as a matter of fact. The truth is we don’t have such useless agency in Japan, and yet, we can still have a clean election over here. Less cheating especially when we have conscientious policemen looking all the time for the cheats and catch them on tips of concerned citizens, even those who serve as volunteers for parties concerned. Bakit hindi iyan magawa sa Pilipinas?
Why can Filipinos not realize that if they want their government to change, these cheatings should be stopped by all means, once and for all? Pero golly, pati police and militar kasama sa dayaan. No wonder wala na ngang pag-asa! But my gosh, do other nations have to take the burden of all these anomalies by being made to accept Filipinos who are driven out of their country to escape hunger and poverty?
In short, Erap is also now history. However, so far, he has not been proven to have stolen as much as the incumbent has stolen money from the treasury, for the truth is his case is more or less a case of bribery as far as the Ilocano Singson is concerned (I am ashamed of this crook as a matter of fact. Kababayan ng lola ko. Nakakahiya!). Ang hina naman ng mga prosecutor sa Pilipinas not to know that what Singson did was try to bribe Estrada for special favor and treatment. Walang makitang ebidensiya. So, walang kaso! Sino bang niloloko nila?
Kawawang bansa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA?
Anna,
Someone here has suggested that this officer in the military is simply trying to catch the attention of the bogus president for a promotion. Baka kabalen pa nga iyan, e di lalong malakas siya. Mas madaling ma-promote. Sucker ang labas ng ungas!
But poor Jr. officer! Hopefully, the wives of these officers now in jail will have the courage to bond together, get a good bunch of lawyers to back them up and pursue their case in a court of law regardless of whether or not there is no one there good enough to try their case on behalf of their husbands for justice and truth to prevail.
This is in fact the disadvantage of having the Department of Justice under the control of a wannabe criminal.
Kawawang bansa! Nakakaiyak talaga!
Kawawang bansa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Yuko,
If we are to base our judgement on the news that the young officer’s superior gave a verbal order to stop distributing but did not issue a written order to that effect points to an ‘offense’ that does not warrant a court martial hearing even if there had been an ‘exchange of words’ between the two protagonists.
The stupidity is that MajGen Allaga has allowed this to get to a point of no return. One of his underlings, the deputy marine commandant for instance, could easily have summoned both officers, Raymundo and Luna, to explain their sides. There was no risk to life involved here.
I’m afraid the theory that the AFP is not quite a professional military is becoming less and less that of a mere theory.
Being a cabalen or whatever has no bearing at this point.
I would like to make my life worthwhile living, so I am for the TRUTH. And it holds true that anybody who would want to make his life COMPLICATED, then he’s gonna LIE! Because adherring to the TRUTH isn’t easy..it HURTS ..really HURTS because of the consequences one may face when confronted by it.
I find Ellen’s blog Fair and Just. If one sticks to the issues , she’s goin to treat you fairly. She’s just, because each one is free to comment on issues presented here. Walang Personalan. To say that her blog is becoming an “I hate Arroyo blog! is Not fair and Not just.
We would like to make our lives worth living..so we should all be bold enough to find the Truth… Not be Afraid…for ain’t Truth goin to set us FREE?
It has been said that the TRUTH is like the moon, the sun and the stars. It ALWAYS manages to come out. The moment cease to search and fight for the TRUTH, we all will collapse. I mean, can we really live with a lie?
It does, Anna! I am told for instance that major positions in the Philippine diplomatic missions for instance are taken by the kabalens and/or the friends and cronies of the Fatso. Call it nepotism. It thrives under this administration.
Better question to ask, Chabeli, is “Why should Filipinos live with a lie when they know the truth?”
Yuko,
Re: “Call it nepotism”
It is unfortunate but I believe that Philippine presidents without exception (except perhaps Quezon) have practised nepotism to varying degrees.
Nepotism by virtue of one’s blood relation or ethnic appartenance may be more pronounced today, I really don’t know, but if an appointment to an official posting is given to someone simply for being a relative or a provincial compatriot – a cabalen or cebuano or ilonggo, then I agree that is more than hugely wrong, it is injustice to others who may perhaps possess better qualifications than those possessed by the relatove or the provincial compatriots.
You bet, Anna, it dampens the spirit of more qualified people to aim for better positions, and have more valid aspirations and ambition. Ang nangyayari tuloy, braindrain. At least, when we left the Philippines, doctors who leave the Philippine find positions overseas, especially in the USA. Now, they opt to be demoted to being attendants, etc., and worse as caretakers who are no better than a domestic help.
BTW, I have been informed that the Bansot and her husband have each their own private military now paid with public funds, and that people are now being recruited from the barangays to fill up vacancies in the AFP of about 300,000 new troopers. This has been the talk of the town, I am told.
Anyone in the blog who can verify this? Ingat iyong supposed to be terminated and replaced with this recruits who are supposed to be trained and tamed to be loyal only to the Bansot!
http://www.tribune.net.ph/commentary/20061024com1.html
from the tribune editorial:
Yuko,
“to fill up vacancies in the AFP of about 300,000 new troopers.”???????
What?
Good grief, if that is true, there must be a provision in the Constitution for an enabling budget; the law stipulates a number of slots for officers, from the rank of lieutenant colonel to 4-star. Each major service has a number of these officers and cannot be increased at whim. Any increase in the slot is subject to the law.
AFP troops -120,000 or so of officers and men – to be increased almost three-fold? There are already CAGFUS (official para-military militias)in operation, although I gathered they were re-named…
But even if these ‘troops’ whom you say are being recruited, do not get absorbed into the official AFP military, still, a private army of 180 thousand is beyond any rich man’s wildest dreams! Keeping a private army of say, a hundred or two hundred men is one thing but to have a private army of 180,000 is NOT DOABLE not even in the Philippines where Gloria can steal from national coffers at will or with impunity!
Think of the expense.
There must be a misunderstanding of the figure somewhere.
Or perhaps, if we push this thing beyond logic or beyond reason, governors or mose of the 72 governors are the ones who will provide Gloria with militia cover in case of trouble…???? Well, why not? But frankly, this is fatasmagorical thinking on my part because I am astounded that even Gloria could think of a troop increase from 120 thousand to 300 thousand.
Anna,
The person who tsismissed this to me even said 3M but I corrected him and said that it must be just 300,000 kasi sobra naman ang dami ng babayaran ni Pandak! Unless of course, they plan to supply the UN, etc. of the extra soldiers. You bet, malaking paglulustay ng pera ito.
I suggest a witchhunt, Anna. This should be exposed as a matter of fact. Isang panloloko siguro ni Pandak. Who knows sinasabi nilang magiging sundalo tapos papatayin nila para makuha ang mga laman-laman for sale overseas.
Golly, parang horror movie talaga!
“Golly, parang horror movie talaga! ”
Hahahah!
OO na nalalo ka na Gloria Arroyo sa pagbawal panonood ng politong materyal sa mga sundalo. Pero sa pag censor of sa mga media na ito, itinuturing mong sundalo ang lahat ng Pilipino. Inutil ka pala Presidente, kasi dapat ikaw ang nag sisilbi sa Pilipinong mamayanan, at hindi kami ang iyong mga silbi.
“Inutil ka pala Presidente, kasi dapat ikaw ang nag sisilbi sa Pilipinong mamayanan, at hindi kami ang iyong mga silbi.”
Amen!
Anna, your comment: (Military officers are also bound by this code: NEVER ISSUE AN ORDER THAT CANNOT BE OBEYED. No ifs, no buts.) reminds of a quote in “The Little Prince” (my all-time favorite” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery: “ONE MUST REQUIRE FROM EACH ONE THE DUTY WHICH EACH ONE CAN PERFORM. ACCEPTED AUTHORITY RESTS FIRST OF ALL ON REASON.”
Absolutely, Ellen and that’s what I meant with my previous quote. That’s why there is such a thing as illegal order in the military to prevent officers from giving orders that are unreasonable or that are bound to be disobeyed.
(Le Petit Prince is a gem and is also one of my all time favorites.)
Jean-Jacques Rousseau had a similar line, something along the same tenet as “law is best served when it is applied based on reason.”
Ystakei,
You mention that the “Better question to ask,(Chabeli,) is “Why should Filipinos live with a lie when they know the truth?””
That is indeed a better question to ask!
Chabeli:
Answer to Ystakei’s question , “Why should Filipinos live with a lie when they know the truth?” : Because that’s the ONLY way to SURVIVE under the present “FAKE” administration!

ang VCD ni erap ay isang pulitika – walang kaduda-duda.
“sumali ba pulitika” si lt. Artemio Raymundo for possessing and passing along the erap videos?
if that’s the case, then bawal rin manood at magpasa rin ng fahrenheit 9/11 o mga downloaded Daily Show episodes ang mga US military men dahil obviously “pulitika yan” and because it tries to undermine the faith and confidence of the people in the Arroyo government.

Hindinapinopy, that doesn’t concern me at all. If that’s the sentiments of many Filipinos, then so be it.That means many Filipinos still value truth and justice. That’s a positive indication.
ellen,
I beg to disagree with you connecting hatred to truth and justice.
I said it’s becoming or maybe it is a hate gloria blog because most of the posters here support erap and still believe erap to be their president.
i want to make it clear to everyone:
I DON’T SUPPORT ANYBODY.
i am just fed up with the vicious cycle. and it’s getting worse. si gloria o si erap, parehong kurakot. sa tingin ko mas matindi ang susunod na lider.
The whole Malacanang gang feels so insecure about ERAP. Takot sila sa CD ng Masa, baka kasi ito na yung sinasabing magpapaalsa sa masa. Pero ito ay isang bagay kaya nilang pigilan kasi kitang-kita nila.
Kaya kung merong magpapabagsak ke Gloria ay iyung hindi niya nakikitang dumarating kaya’t hindi niya mapaghahandaan. Palagay ko hindi si Erap. Hindi rin si Binay. IBA. BAGO.
Still, Elvie, despite the sporadic killing of activists, Filipinos should not chicken out, but continue to fight, fight, fight for the freedom that they deserve!!!— even the freedom from want that this crook is even trying to deprive the majority of Filipinos she even uses as props for her publicity, making them depend on the meager rice and ramen she distributes for a photo-op!!!
Shocking! 😡
Yeah, Pandawan, maaaring isa pang bundok na malapit na ring pumutok! Ilan taon na bang hindi pumuputok iyong pinakamataas na bundok sa Pampanga? Mt. Arayat ba iyon?
I understand that it is east of Pampanga while Mt. Pinatubo that destroyed the US bases is in the west. Baka sa susunod, iyan na ang puputok at magpapaalis kay Bansot!!! Matabunan sana ng lahar!!! 😡
Hello! Ano ba inaasahan ninyo dito? Malamang magugunaw na ang mundo pag nabasa natin na may mag-comment na:
“Ellen,I hate to say this but your blog is starting to look like a ‘I love Gloria’ blog.”
Meron din akong kinatatakutang katotohanan, ito yung na-mention ni Yuko tungkol sa toxic waste deal na nai-post ko in another blog about the Philippines among the usual bottom dwellers in surveys relevant to governance, which I will post here.
Look, have a president who signed a pact with the Japanese PM that would allow us to “import” hazardous and toxic materials that would virtually turn this 7,100-island country into the world’s biggest dumpsite! This, in exchange for nurses and other healthworkers being allowed to work in Japan while those whose health they should have been looking after are threatened with health hazards posed by “tariff-free toxic wastes” we even have to pay for. Wow!
Isn’t there a survey that puts the Philippine president as the most stupid president in the world?
Iyan ang nakakatakot! Happy Halloween!
——-
General Anna, if I may call you that, it’s amazing how a woman like you can have such profound knowledge about the military, which is one subject that is mostly, or sometimes, exclusively discussed by men. Makes me feel like a wimp, hehehe.
TongueInAnew:
I wrote about the rumored 300,000 new recruitment. I wonder kung alam mo ito. I’m told that they have passed flyers for this recruitment in the barangays, and that the Bansot and husband are being provided with their own private army but on government junket. Racket na naman ito pihado. Ito ang dapat na sinusupil. Hindi iyong movie ni Erap and never the Garci tape. Takot lang talaga sa sarili nilang mga multo ang mga pekeng nakaupo ngayon.
Frankly, I have distributed both the Garci tapes and Erap movie to Filipinos here. I have burned a lot of DVDs with the torrent file I created as a matter of fact.
I got a permit to reproduce the Erap movie in fact from the producers. Accordingly, with the Japanese Constitution guaranteeing freedom of expression, press and assembly, I need not worry about censorship of this movie, etc.
As for the Garci tapes, since no one is owning to producing it, everyone should be free to copy and burn the files in CD. There is no law that implicitly states that they cannot be copied, distributed, etc. If Bunye says otherwise, then we know for a fact that he is he guilty one; a proof that he has tried to trick the Filipinos that the Ale Boba has never committed a crime against the people of the Republic of the Philippines.
Cheating, electioneering, tampering of votes, etc. are not misdemeanors in the calibre of a traffic ticket. it is a crime that should have been prosecuted in a criminal court.
The Garci tapes are still available for downloading in the PCIJ site as a matter of fact.
bato bato sa langit………..
kasama kaya ito sa “Para Mabuhay sa Masa” VCD?
galing sa PCIJ ito…..
The trail to Cojuangco is via Ramon S. Ang, vice chair, chief financial officer and treasurer of San Miguel, who is better known as The Boss’s right hand man. As Cojuangco’s chief political and business operator, Ang’s actions were likely at the Boss’s behest, SMC insiders say.
Apart from Ang, Raul de Mesa, president of the Bank of Commerce, controlled by Antonio Cojuangco Jr., was instrumental in the purchase by presidential daughter Jacqueline Ejercito and her husband Manuel Lopez of a 3,000-square-meter lot at 518 Buendia Street in Makati’s swanky Forbes Park. The property was transferred through the use of forged documents in an attempt to evade payment of P9 million in taxes.
If former First Lady Imelda Marcos left behind a trail of shoes, President Joseph Estrada is leaving behind a trail of palatial homes and pricey lots that, unlike footwear, cannot be hidden away in some dark closet in Malacañang.
Our investigation shows that in the last three years, Estrada, his family members, or corporations otherwise associated with the President have acquired at least 17 pieces of choice property in Metro Manila, Baguio and Tagaytay.
sorry, ito pala ang umpisa noong article…
28 NOVEMBER 2000
by SHEILA S. CORONEL, YVONNE T. CHUA, LUZ RIMBAN and VINIA M. DATINGUINOO
COMPANIES AND business executives linked to San Miguel Corp. (SMC) chairman Eduardo ‘Danding’ Cojuangco have been involved in the acquisition and construction of mansions allegedly intended for two of President Estrada’s mistresses.
Point is Hindinapinoy bigay lahat iyan as suhol. Kahit hindi hingiin binibigay that in principle should have been prohibited and considered grave violation of the law, but implementation of the laws in the Philippines is more often than not discriminatory based on money and ability to pay.
In the case of the bogus president and her husband, I am told by a game lord that it is more enforced and/or by force. At least, si Imelda daw may karinyo. Itong si Fatso, takot ang ipinaiiral. You give or you lose everything. Walang choice and no other option.
As for the jueteng bribe to Malacanang, I am told that it has been in fact a political tradition that was never exposed nor talked about until the Singson fiasco. At least, nabisto o ibinisto nila ang mga sarili nila a paghahanap ng baho ni Estradang bayani ng masa!
Don’t bet me wrong. Wala akong kinikilingan. In fact, I never endorsed the candidacy of Estrada for the presidency. I thought Filipinos should boycott the election in 1998 for being presented with no real good choice for the presidency.
You see, I, for one, believe that God does not bless a country headed by people who are fornicators, liars, cheats, etc. The Bible and even perhaps the Koran are explicit about abiding by God’s rules to be blessed by Him.
Now, the difference between Estrada and the Bansot is the adulation and love of the small people for the incarcerated president versus the bogus one.
It’s almost 12 noon. I really have to go for now. Ciao!
yup, hindi banned ang f9/11 sa amerika.
yup, hindi banned ang f9/11 sa amerika, dinapinoy.
Yup, hindi bawal dahil infringement iyan ng kanilang bill of rights. Pero pumunta ka doon sa lugar na malakas ang Republican at si Dubya, mag-ingat ka dahil baka ma-mugged ka ng mga muggers ni Dubya. Worse, baka patayin ka pa! Sa Pilipinas, di ka na makapanood, baka kidnapin ka pa ng mga sundalo ni Bansot, tapos ipapapatay ka tapos ibibintang sa NPA! Yuck! 😡
“hindi bawal dahil infringement iyan ng kanilang bill of rights.”
Yuko,
I keep getting astounded by the blatant disregard for the bill of rights in a nation that purports to be democratic although I shouldn’t be because I am aware of how things work in the Philippines.
It’s just that the Philippines has the distinction of possessing a strong educated class but why can’t those who can make the difference see that if they continue to have disdain for the elementary notion that the bill of rights are there for the good of society overall, which includes everyone from all walks of life, in the long term, they, the ones who can make the difference will not enjoy the fruits of their labor?
What good can all the education, the wealth, the status serve if you live in the midst of a miserable value-less, disrespectful society?
Part of democracy is acting in good faith, never mind the legalese and its intricate gobbledygooks but acting in good faith and respect for the bill of rights are the unwritten rules of a civilized nation.
We keep regressing in the Philippines instead of progressing. The more we go forward, the worse the actions in bad faith become and the less respect there is for the bill of rights.
Anna,
You said the things I’ve wanted to say. Nagtataka nga ako kung bakit hindi naipasunod ang mga batas sa Pilipinas the way the Americans had made sure the laws drafted and passed under their tutelage, guidance and supervision are abided by over here like the law on Child Welfare and Protection. I understand that such had been one of those drafted for the new Republic even prior to the granting of Philippine independence, bakit hindi sinunod. And then, kundi pa makalabas ng bansa hindi mo malalaman ng ginugunggong pala ang mga mamamayan ng mga binoboto nila. Mga bata nagkalat sa kalye, hindi nag-aaral kundi pinagtitinda ng kung anu-ano.
Bill of rights? I doubt that they know there is such a thing!
Bills of Rights!!! good for you Anna to Mention It, because just remind me, the whole constitution of Canada, “the Constitution Act of l982” is simply a Bill Of Rights. We call it Charter of Rights and Freedom and all the legislations and by-laws, criminal and civil popping out of all our legislative bodies are tested and studied around that piece of Work, before they are enacted laws, otherwise the court, starting from the Municipal Court will just declare a law unconstitutional the first case brought before it. Yes, the Bill of rights and Freedoms..
Vic,
“Bills of Rights!!! good for you Anna to Mention It, ”
You are absolutely correct! That’s why I pounced on it the moment Yuko mentioned it because anywhere in the civilized world, the basis of laws are enshrined in the Bill of Rights. It is omnipresent in the French Constitution and even in the centuries and centuries old Magna Carta of Great Britain.
It is based on respect of a citizen and common sense in the absolute.
Over here, Anna, Vic, we always say when we protest, “According to the Constitution, I have this and that right!” Hindi na makakaimik ang kahit sino! It is actually a matter of knowing both rights and duties as guaranteed and prescribed by the Constitution, the highest law of the land. Sayang ang mga pilipino. Hindi nila alam na may mga rights and privileges sila na hindi puedeng saklawan lalo na ng hind naman naboto ng majority ng mga mamamayan. Palusot pa kasi sila when they do something wrong themselves na hindi nila alam ang tungkulin nila sa batas! As usual, it takes two to tango! Ang masama pa kasi sa Pilipinas, ginagawa talagang bobo ang mga tao. Ang linaw nga ng batas, pinaiikot pa, lilituhing sadya ang mga tao para maloko nila gaya ng ginagawa for example ng mga Internet Brigade at lobbyists ni Pandak sa mga fora para sa mga pilipino. Buti na lang matiyatiyaga din ang mga bloggers ni Ellen to clarify matters that should be made clear para hindi maloko!!! Kaya, tira lang ng tira!
Ang linagay ngayon ni Luna na kasalanan ni Raymundo ay “Disrespect to superior officer”.
Paano mo naman respetuhin ang ganoong opisyal?
ito ang isang klase ng opisyal na SIPSEP sa pekeng administrasyon at bulok na pamunuan ng AFP.
Wow, disrespect to superior officer ang manood si Raymundo ng movie ni Erap! Ano iyan? Ang bobo naman ng opisyal ng military na iyan! Kasi sa totoo lang, wala naman silang ma-quote na batas na ipinagbabawal ang panonood ng movie ni Erap dahil ang censorship naman ng Movie Review e supposedly for guidance only!!! Iyong ngang mga bomba na nakakasira ng utak ng mga tao hindi sinicensor, e. Kaya tignan mo naman ang utak ng mga bakya. Iyon ngang si Pandak kaya mahilig ng sex e baka madalas manood ng bomba pa nga iyan e. Remember iyong 3 times a day na pahayag niya, Mrivera! Nagulat ang mga kaibigan kong dayuhan sa totoo lang! Napataas ang kilay nila! Ang sarap daw pikonin ni Bansot!

Hindinapinoy: Kailan ka magiging isang tunay na Pinoy? Sana palitan mo nang tunaynapinoy. Tama ka din nang sabihin mo na nagiging “Hate Gloria” itong grupo dito. Eh sa tutoo naman di ba? Alangan naman “Love Gloria” ang tema ng mga sulat dito. Tungkol sa pagtakbo o pagiging presidente uli ni Erap, iyan ang iniiwasan nitong tiyanak. Kung gagawin ang halalan ngayon at sina Erap at tiyanak ang maglalaban, lampaso ang aabutin ng bruha. Kaya nakakulong pa si Erap at ayaw pakawalan sa kabila ng walang matibay na katibayan sa kasong plunder sa kanya ay natatakot ang mga tarantado sa Malacanang na makabalik si Erap. Si Erap lang naman ang pag-asawa natin. Si Cory, bad shot sa grupo ng mga Marcos at kaliwa. Si Loren Legarda, baka puwede pero iyakin. Umiyak sa tuwa noong impeachment kay Erap. Si Susan, mas gustong maging biyuda na lang. Si Ping Lacson, mahilig lang yata kumain ng lechon sa Ping’s Lechon. Si Mar Roxas, mama’s boy. Si Gordon, itanong muna niya kay Dick. Si Magsaysay, walang “say”. Si Kiko, hindi puwedeng iwanan ang mga anak. Yaya ang trabaho niya maliban sa pagiging senador. Si Villar, puwede. Pogi na, magaling na negosyante din. Kaya lang questionable ang loyalty niya sa opposition. Sino ang puwede? Di ba si Erap pa rin?
Sorry, ang ibig kong sabihin si “Erap pa rin ang pag-asa natin”. Kung bakit pag-aasawa ang naisulat ko.
artsee,
meron nagsasabi dito sa blog ni Ellen na si Meloto daw pwede maging presidente.
Kapag nagkataon “may lotto” sa bawat GK project!
Nakakapagtaka kung bakit walang gambling enthusiast ang nag-e-endorso kay Meloto.
Siguro kakampi ng mga gamblers itong propagandist ni GK founder dito sa blog ni Ellen.
ahemmm! 3 taon na nang mapag-usapan ang impeachment sa Supreme Court, wala bang anniversary?
artsee,
