The immigration officer, Edgardo Padlan, who was rude at Luli Arroyo, was wrong when he attended to a foreigner who was behind her in the queue at the airport.
But firing him was overacting on the part of Immigration Commissioner Alipio Fernandez. A suspension would have sufficed.
Here’is ABS-CBN’s story on the incident:
Airport immigration exec sacked for shouting at Luli
The Bureau of Immigration on Wednesday fired a control officer at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport after he allegedly shouted at President Arroyo’s daughter on Tuesday, ABS-CBN News reported Wednesday.
“Hindi po maganda ang ipinakita ni Padlan and we took action right away (We had to take action right away because what he did was wrong),” said Ferdie Sampol, the burea’s officer in charge at NAIA.
Sampol was referring to Edgardo Padlan, an immigration officer at the airport’s departure area.
The report said that Luli Arroyo was waiting in line at the service lane for diplomats and handicapped past 11 a.m. Tuesday when the alleged shouting took place. The younger Arroyo was on her way to Hong Kong to meet up with her parents. The President is currently in the Chinese mainland for an official visit.
Arroyo said she noticed that Padlan accommodated and immediately processed the passport of foreigner behind her.
“Mali talaga iyong ginawa. Ang ayaw natin mabahiran ang ating immigration na mukha silang corrupt. Kung may relasiyon man sila ng dayuhang iyon mali din ‘yun kawawa naman iyon mga sumusunod sa patakaran,” Arroyo said.
Padlan, who did not recognize the President’s daughter, raised his voice when she complained about the unfair treatment.
The incident prompted Immigration Commissioner Alipio Fernandez to dismiss Padlan.
Reached for comment, Padlan said he will ask Arroyo for forgiveness.
“As a human being, of course I will accept (the apology),” she said.
She clarified that the Padlan’s dismissal was the decision of the BID.
A Malacañan statement also said that it had no part in Padlan’s dismissal.
“That has nothing to do with kung anumang desisyon ng Immigration wala akong kapangyarihan or personality para makialam doon sa kanilang imbestigasyon ( I have no power or personality to meddle in the bureau’s investigation),” she said.
Arroyo said she did not call her mother about the incident. “Ayoko nang dagdagan ng problema ang mommy ko (I don’t want to add up to her problems).” With reports from Alex Santos, TV Patrol World, DZMM
Ang pagiging presidential daughter ba ni Luli ibig sabihin, pwede siyang pumila doon sa para sa diplomat or handicapped? sana kung ganun pwede siya, dahil nga kung privilege niya yun, baka pwedeng dagdagan ng classification ang linya ng immigration as: diplomat, handicapped, member of the royal (fake) family????
just wondering.
Who the hell would fire the immigration officer if not for this addict-looking Luli? If I were the officer, I would not apologize. I would shout at her again. The line was for diplomats and handicapped; so the officer should know that VIPs passed through the line. It would be stupid for him not to know that this little Luli was VIP; unless she looked like a handicapped person. There could be some little argument and then Luli’s prima-dona attitude all the more pressured this officer. Better advise this officer to just join the opposition and help oust this fake president.
Sinong mali, iyong Immigration Official o si Luli? Definitely si Luli! Bakit doon siya sa VIP pipili just because she is the daughter of the bogus president! Tama ang ginawa ng immigration officer. Dito naninigaw din ang Immigration officials kung matigas ang ulo ng mga travellers! To hell with this bogus government.
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Aba, pati iyong anak abusado ha!
nasa hongkong ang mga magulang, nagpapasarap, nagliliwaliw sa gastos na galing sa kaban ng bayan at susunod ang anak para kumpleto ang kasiyahan habang maraming pamilya sa pilipinas ang hindi kumakain ng tatlo o dalawang beses isang araw. ano’ng klaseng damdamin mayroon ang mag-anak na ito? mayaman sila kaya dapat walang pakialam kung saan o paano man nila lustayin ang kanilang kayamanan? kanila na ba ang buong pilipinas? sila na ang solong may karapatan sa pondo ng bayan?
isa pang tanong, diplomat passport ba ang hawak ni luli?
sabi ko noon sa mga kaibigan ko, once na dumating kayo sa Manila International Airport at nakita nyo ang mga sign na may “Immigration” :
ang ibig sabihin nito? “welcome to the jungle”
Papansin lang yang mga taga BID. Gusto siguro na magpasikat sa amo nya.
GINAGAWA LANG ANG TRABAHO
Unfair naman kung idinismiss agad yung nanigaw kay Luli Bully.
Dapat ipa-imbestiga muna , gawa ng report , hearing at proseso. Hindi yung porke’t Luli lang eh na-taranta na, at ganda ugaga agad ang opisyal na mula sa Dagupan?
“Maraming bangus sa Dagupan pero hindi makahuli ng isda sa airport”
Teka tanungin nga natin kung nakasabit ang I.D. ng sinigawan ni Officer Padlan?
May potensyal yata itong si Sampol dahil ang sampol ni Miriam noong nasa BID pa sya eh mag punch ng time card sa bundy clock 🙂
Sampol mag-resign ka para eksampol ka sa mga gustong magpakitang gilas na mga empleyado ng gobyerno.bwiset!
I watched this incident in TV Patrol last night…heard luli’s(luli…luli…please don’t cry) side of the story, that “the immigration officer let one foreigner ahead of her…”, there was no mention of the “lane”, which turned out to be (as reported, was for VIPs, and handicapped people), if the “officer involved” was indeed “rude”, he deserves memos and even suspension from his superiors, not because luli was a presidential(kuno) daughter, but for being “unprofessional and lousy” in his performance of duty as a “public servant”..now, the problem here is, we don’t know if “luli’s version” of the story was “accurate”, of course that’s her “side of the coin”. The problem with the immigration officer was because he now “recognized” the “big blunder” that he did…all we can hear from him now is the “I am very sorry(and sorrow) tunes”…I mean, com’on…who would believe luli when she said that “she has nothing to do with the immediate sacking” of the old man…the officer himself even commented that “even mikee d’ tongressman angry on him”.
Bottomline, the immigration officer was “unlucky”…for not “noticing” that it was luli “d cry baby” daughter of gloria, and was not “able to kiss her sorry ass”…he would now be a “jobless man” come Christmas day.
What if it was just a “lowly” DH that got that “treatment”, would this immigration officer be also “sacked, sealed, and gutted”?
Noon nga mga anak pa ng Mayor at Mambabatas, anak ng opisyal ng gobyerno , kapag may dumadating na sikat na Hollywood actor(halimbawa: Tom Cruise), sinasalubong pa hanggang sa Immigration Lounge pero wala naman mga “sigawan” na insidente.Pero ngayon baligtad na.
Kailangan siguro ay tatalikod o kaya ay luluhod :
“diplomat passport ba ang hawak ni luli?”
Dapat naka-private jet na lang , nagkukunwari pa kasi eh 😆
02 November 2006
I dont know with you people, will luli forgive this man??? i hope so, because a friend of mine told me that an official of one of the government agency suffered almost the same fate as this immigration officer, let us say, the immigration officer is at fault, why the hell didn’t the BI head fire him, shouldnt it be that guy be suspended or transferred to the main office for investigation, etc… the friend of my friend suffered the same fate, although of different scenario, he was suspended without pay (god knows how many weeks, months or so), that is after investigation. The friend of my friend who happens to be sick, seek an audience with luli and erstwhile then VP gloria and eventually became President(???) but the friend of my friend still lingers in that office and never was given a consideration. According to my friend, his friend was forgiven, but only in words, not in action, still my friends friend still in that office hoping for the better.
My point is, luli is just like gloria, they will say one thing, but will do the opposite, tsk, tsk, tsk, pilit kasing pinakikita na hindi sya opportunista, pero kung magalit sa ibang tao kala mo kung sino na rin itong si luli, maramin n rin akong nababalitaan tungkol sa kanya, na mataray katulad ng nanay nya.
I just hope that this guy from the immigration be given a lesson, that its not because they are the immigration they can abuse their authority at the airport. But he should not be fired, he should be reprimanded or suspended. Firing the guy is too much.
prans
Update: The said employee had just been reassigned and not fired as first reported. Probably another damage-control. Lili in the first place should have been assisted by the travel liaison officer of the palace. This normal practice as she is the daughter of te president(?).
Points well taken, the Civil Service Commission on the otherhand has a policy that a public servant should at all times accord all Filipinos respect and due service. A violation of this entails an outright termination. Granting this is the situation, there is also a security of tenure clause and all violators have the right to due process. The poor officer had been in service for over 30 yrs. His is the first time he committed this violation. Factors could be attributed to stress and fatigue. A first offense should have landed him a suspension. 30 yrs. is a feat, matanda na yung tao kaya dapat medyo maintindihan sila ng mga tao.
Without investigating the incident, Alipio and Sampol should not have jumped the gun. Luli should not have been in that line in the first place. Only public officials are issued diplomatic passports. Their families are not entitiled to this. Though she passed the foreign service commission exams, she has not yet been given any post nor is employed by the DFA. ‘Di nga ba’t ayaw payagan yan ni pandak para wala daw bahid ng politika kuno. Pero yung actor na anak ay pinayagang tumakbo.
I must admit that the immigration officer has made a mistake but Luli could have avoided the incident if she had taken the correct line. Now she adds a twist to it that the officer allowed the foreigner to enter his booth. Medyo malabo yata yun kasi the booth’s door is located at the rear and not the front.
Families of public officials are extended assistance by the mother offices. Ang hirap kasi kay Luli, masyadong pa pogi. Papila-pila pa kunyari para walang special treatment kuno. Kapag nasigawan, galit. Next time, gamitin niya sana yung “assistance” para ‘di na siya mabulyawan. Mahirap yung nagmamalinis ay santambak naman ang katiwalian.
Schumey says: Mahirap yung nagmamalinis ay santambak naman ang katiwalian.
Absolutely right! Unang-una gusto niyang ipakita kuno sa mga tao na pumipila siya. Pero tama ba ang linya na pinilahan niya? Mayroon ba siyang diplomatic passport na siyang ginagamit kapag nandoon sa pilang iyon.
Libo-libong tao ang dumadaan sa Immigration Line na iyan araw-araw at nagkataon lang na itong si Pandak – young version ang nandoon upang sumama sa lamierda ng pamilya sa Hongkong.
Mabuti pa ang mga DH ay alam kung saan pipila dahil wala silang diplomatic passport.
Schumey:
Over here, relatives and family members of the Prime Minister, unless they are also in public service are treated as private citizens, no special privileges given but treated just like anybody else. Kaya kung saan siya dapat pumila, doon siya. No need for those protocol dahil extra charge din iyon. Never heard of Koizumi’s son for example being given special guards either. Artista din ang anak niya but very detach sa tatay niya. Ganyan sana diyan. But no! pati private party bayad pa yata ng taumbayan habang majority are below poverty level.
Kawawang bansa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
“Mali talaga iyong ginawa. Ang ayaw natin mabahiran ang ating immigration na mukha silang corrupt. Kung may relasiyon man sila ng dayuhang iyon mali din ‘yun kawawa naman iyon mga sumusunod sa patakaran,” Arroyo said.
ayun naman pala. ayaw ni luli na magmukhang corrupt ang ating immigration.
pero bale wala kung kurakutin nila at gamitin sa pagliliwaliw ang pondo ng bayan. o, sama kayo?
teka nga pala, kasama ba ang boyfriend niya? ‘yung nanggugulo dito?
Yuko,
That’s what is ideal, but the reality here is that this practice had been carried over thru the years. In a way its wrong but it also helps shorten the line and the “idle” employees have something to keep them busy. Japan does not have an over-staffed bureaucracy such as ours.
Emilio,
Yan ang hirap sa sanay sa publicity and photo-ops. Now the poor guy has to pay for Luli’s pa-cute antics.
“Yan ang hirap sa sanay sa publicity and photo-ops. Now the poor guy has to pay for Luli’s pa-cute antics.”
Ayon sa TV Patrol 02Nov2006 Manila Time:
naisalba na ang imahe ni Luli, marami ang bumilib na Pinoy kay Luli sa hindi paggamit ng impluwensya
May manok na ang ABS-CBN sa nararating na May 2007 eleksyon
Oh yeah? Hindi gumamit ng impluwensiya? Subtle approach lang ang isang iyan pero like parents, like children! Golly, will someone check if the Pidals’ holiday in Hong Kong is paid with taxpayers’ money? Gosh, abuso while millions of Filipinos can hardly have something to put on their tables. Kahit yata basura wala nang makukuha ang mga nagkakalkal doon. And the yabang calls it progress?
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Ano iyan, back to the feudal ages?
The Immigration official in fact acted right. Luli should not have queued there, and the Immigration official had every right to refuse to service her regardless of who her parents are. The Immigration official is acting as a bureaucrat who is not supposed to be beholden to an elected official but only to the people who pay his bills or as prescribed by the law. And there is no law that states that a bureaucrat has to act like a tsimoy of the next of kin of any elected officialject especially of the bogus president.
At least, that is what I understand the duties and responsibilities of bureaucrats should be. It is not abuse. He was simply doing his duty. Dito nga hindi ngumingiti ang mga Immigration officials sa airports at ports namin. Dapat lang bigyan ng leksyon ang anak ni Ale Boba!
“Mali talaga iyong ginawa. Ang ayaw natin mabahiran ang ating immigration na mukha silang corrupt. Kung may relasiyon man sila ng dayuhang iyon mali din ‘yun kawawa naman iyon mga sumusunod sa patakaran,” Arroyo said.
GLUE-RIANG, GLUE-RIA. Tunay na taga-pagmana.
Ayon sa TV Patrol 02Nov2006 Manila Time:
naisalba na ang imahe ni Luli, marami ang bumilib na Pinoy kay Luli sa hindi paggamit ng impluwensya
YEHEY…HINDI GUMAMIT NG IMPLUWENSYA SI LULI KASI KUNG GAGAMIT SIYA NG IMPLUWENSYA AY HINDI SIYA MATTV!
Buong mundo ay alam na ang gimmicks ng mga Pidal, kailangan ay misty-eyed approach naman.
Kaya, Schumey, next time mabago ang gobyerno, baguhin na rin ang mga ugaling gunggong! No more, palakasan! Kaya maraming bureaucrats diyan, kasi masarap ang lagay!!! Dito, public and private jobs, pareho lang. Masipag ka at may utak, mabubuhay ka!!! Wala pang inggitan. Mas masarap pa nga ang mas mababang rangko sa totoo lang kasi walang masyadong responsibility. Dito mananagot iyong mga nasa itaas sa lahat ng kapalpakan.
I heard ANC’s Tony Velasquez say that Luli has a diplomatic passport beause she was a foreign service officer. Wrong.
She passed the foreign service exam but her mother did not appoint her. She is not employed in the government. Why would she be holding a diplomatic passport?
I’m turned off by reportes praising her for being “unassuming” and for following procedures. Why should she be praised for that? Who is she?
I remember a Chinese who went to the line for returning residents and US citizens in SFO. Tumawag pa ng interpreter iyong Immigration official at pinaalis ang intsik sa linya kasi temporary visitor lang siya. Ang hilig pang sumingit ng intsik na iyon sa totoo lang. Sinigawan ko rin nang lumipat naman sa linya namin na sisingit pa sa una. Ganyan ang ginawa ng anak ni Ale Boba. Pumila doon sa hindi naman siya dapat pumila. At saka siguro talagang gustong bigyan ng Immigration officer ng leksyon kahit na anak pa siya ng kung sinong kulapo. Sipsip din iyong nagtanggal sa Immigration officer na iyon. Dito iyan, may sasampa nang demanda laban sa mga abusive officials and non-official gaya ni Luli at iyong boss noong Immigration officer na iyon na tumaas lang siguro ang rangko sa pagsisipsip. Talk of crab mentality. Iyan ang example!!! Grrrrrr!!!! 😡
Hayyy naku, how I wished the Luli(bye) used her gimik in a US airport. Pag hindi wisked right away, naka-posas pa ang nakakata-cute na hija ni Glue-ria.
Kaya siguro break muna sila sa US soil, baka ma-Jocelyn ang sinuman sa kanilang mga Macakapal Pidal Son-Tua Arroyo ETC.
The Immigration Officer may have committed some mistake, granted; but when it comes to arbitrary power within the perimeter of the border or departing or arriving area, nobody has the power over and above the immigration officer on duty. I don’t know what’s the law over there, but no politician, nobody can have the power above the immigration officer in line of duty and if ever he/or she makes a mistake a very thorough investigation should be undertaken before any action like suspension or firing takes place. To be subjected by any influence of whosoever, will minimize the effectiveness of the border or the immigration officers in performing their duties. Luli or lullaby, is not the issue. If she’s in the handicap line and the immigration officer can clearly see that she is not handicapped of anything, he or she can processed the client way in the back that is obviously handicapped.
What I hear is that Mr. Padlan mistook Luli for a DH, as to his attitude towards her was that way. BUT, it did not give Mr. Padlan the right to treat Luli, or even a DH that way. Mr. Padlan had thought that Luli was in the wrong line. Undoubtedly, Luli is very simple looking, and does not like her PSG near her. Whether Luli is exaggerating her simplicity or not, it is common knowledge in the “circle” that she, like her mother, Gloria, has a bad temper.
Simplicity is not in the way a person looks, but is in the person’s heart.
gaya ng sinabi ko kanina …
May manok na ang ABS-CBN sa nararating na May 2007 eleksyon
Parang ito yung nabasa ko kanina sa isang column sa Standard EXPRESS , Pami-pamilya.
Pero mas matindi yung Senado noong 2001, kitang-kita talaga ang mga magkakamag-anak. Sina Sonny Jaworski, Revilla, Cojuango-Aquino, Guingona, Sotto, Pangilinan.
Iisang koneksyon lang , parang iisang grupo naglalaban laban.
Question really is: What the heck is Lulli doing in that queu?
1) Is she physically handicapped? If the answer is no, then she shouldn’t be there. Now, if she is morally or intellectually handicap, that’s something else… maybe there’s something in government regulations that says that morally or intellectually members of the Malacanang mafia are accorded special status in an airport departure zone.
2) Is she an official Philippine dipomat? If the answer is no, then what gave her the right to be in that queu which is supposed to be, reserved for dipomats?
Now, if she’s holding a Philippine passport reserved officially for diplomats, there’s something wrong there. That passport must be fake, don’t you all think so?
In that case, she should be arrested, questioned, detained, tried, convicted, judged and put in prison for faking official government documents.
You will never find members of the family of a French or British politician using a diplomatic passport. That will be abusing authority and besides, that diminishes an official passport value if a government passport issuance office gives it to any tom, dick and harry who is NOT a bona-fide member of a nation’s official diplomatic corps.
Ooops, meant, “maybe there’s something in government regulations that says that morally or intellectually HANDICAPPED members of the Malacanang mafia family are accorded special status in an airport departure zone.”
Chabeli, ang lupit mo.
You want to hear Luli horror stories, you should ask members of the Malacañang Press Corp. Also Weng Orejana, who covered malacañang for ABS-CBN.
She is not sweet and humble as she wants the public to believe.
Regardless of who are the people lined up at the service line, courtesy demands first come first serve. To serve the foreigner behind Luli and thus bypass her is unacceptable to say the least. The fact that this foreigner is involved shows the fawning mentality of the customs officer involved … typical pinoy colonial mentality. When will he ever learn to become proud of his own skin and not be razzle-dazzled by foreigners?
OK,Chabeli… heared mo was that Mr. Padlan mistook Luli(bye) for a DH , eh di mali talaga si Padlan na sigawan ang isang DH. And then kung siya ay DH ay nasa mali siyang linya, di ba? So, tama ang linya ni Luli(bye) in this case.
Well, kasalanan pa rin iyan ni Luli(bye) sa aking pananaw. Anak siya ng Presidente (kuno)at pwedeng dumeretso sa VIP kasama ang kanyang GHOST PSGs, pero mas pinili niya mag-gimik. Akala siguro niya ay makikilala siya kaagad ni Mr. Padlan at luluhuran o buong ngiti na ipagsisigawan ang kanyang pangalan for everyone’s ears to hear. Malaking propaganda. Humble nga naman.
So ang lesson, tigilan na niya ang pagiging OPORTUNISTA.
Sa panig ni Mr. Padlan ay nalantad din ang mababaw na pagtingin niya sa mga DH (aba, mga bayani iyan. Di ba sila ang tumutustos sa admin ni Glue?
Karma worked both ways.
Halos lahat ng nag comment dito galit na galit kay Luli o kaya sa Arroyo Administration… sana maunawaan natin ang punto dito… ‘di ang pagiging anak ng presidente, vip or handicapped o kaya diplomat… kundi pagiging pilipino o pagiging makabayan… bakit… nasa Pilipinas ang isang foreigner… nakapila ang mga pilipino, ‘di pumila ang dayuhan KUNDI DUMIRETSO SA IMMIGRATION BOOTH, ano ang ginawa ng immigration officer… INASIKASO… kung Pilipino ang gumawa nun… sisigawan din sya ng immigation officer at kung magrereklamo ang pinoy… ano ang mangyayari… WALA. Kelan pa ba natin titiisin ang ganitong sistema sa lahat ng empleyado ng gobyerno. Dapat nga dyan palitan lahat ng immigration booth officer at ilagay sa seminar, at turuan kung pano magkaron ng magandang ugali at turuan din silang ngumiti. In the first place… KAMING MGA TAXPAYER ANG NAGPAPASWELDO SA KANILA!
Diskriminasyon sa kapwa pinoy. Tama lang ang ginawa ni Luli… sitahin ang maling gawain… maling sistema… papasapaw o papa-api ka pa ba sa sarili mong bayan?
Ha? hindi diplomat ang passport ni LULI. Kung B1 B2 kay JOCJOC baka 22B kay LULI.!!! di ka naman masisigawan kung pumila ka sa ayon sa patakaran… malamang ang reklamo ni paninilat talaga kaya nag-react si officer. tama lang ginawa ni Mr.Padlan. kung ikaw ang nasa pwesto ni padlan di ka pwedeng ngumiti. you must be strict at all times, otherwise magmuka kang tanga kung engot ka, at pangiti-ngiti. inilagay ka sa frontline ng immigration dahil marunong kang sumita! dahil delicado ang port entry na ito. dapat nga dyan ilagay ang strong personality; matangkad, matikas, wellgroomed, M.A.holder, at dapat palitan na ang mga matatanda na ayaw pa magsiritero. ang daming mga bata na karapatdapat na pumalit sa kanila.
Assuming that the immigration officer attended to a foreigner first who was behind LULIIT, so what? As a Filipina, she should even give way to foreigners who arrive at our country. What was she trying to say and prove? That the Philippines follows rules and regulations strictly? Why not look at her Mickey Mouse brother whenever he leaves and arrives at the airport. Gosh, he has a battalion of security escorts led by PSG carrying high powered weapons.
pinoybato,
baka naman isa na naman itong moro moro ng administrasyun. Scripted, with Padlan and Luli as main casts. Parang pinalabas nila na si Luli(bye) ay law abiding citizen at si Padlan ang bad boy. Yung foreigner baka extra yun at talagang part sa script na siya ay sisingit sa linya. Then acting prowess ni Luli(bye) at Padlan. Galit daw yung isa at nag recat naman yung anak ni Bansot.
Ang result wow, pogi points para kay Luli Bully at tsaka sa pekeng admin na ito.
Tingnan nyo. Side lang ni lulu narinig natin. Si Padlan ay hindi ipinakita sa media takot siguro mabisto na drama lang pala ang lahat.
Sino kaya ang director? Si Ms. Kashiwahara na naman?
It was only a minor incident blown up to make the two ugly mother and daughter look good. Why not punish the many other government officials and employees of other agencies? At Diosdado Macapagal Airport, immigration officers are exorting from travelers to Macau. It was worse than what this guy at NIA did to LULIIT. What about those at LTO, BIR, NBI, etc.? Rich and influential people don’t need to fall in line. That incident was BS that doesn’t deserve even a space in any paper.
Ellen,
Tsismosa pa iyan sa totoo lang. When a friend told me about her penchant for tsismis and making a mountain out of a mole (that is why I am not easy to believe that she has nothing to do with the sacking of the Immigration Officer who incurred her ire), I was shocked because I thought women of her economic standing (mayaman daw sila and bred in some exclusive schools) would have more sense of finesse and propriety. As for her job, she’s eavesdrops for her parents, I guess, disguised as a DH!!! Kahit na nga hindi mag-ayos DH, puede ngarod na maging DH!
Nelbar:
I got your point. This incident may be a gimmick to launch the political career of the daughter, who acts as her mother’s personal secretary, and principal Internet Brigader, kind of pulsing the public sentiment and see if Filipinos will fall for this “Luli Inapi” gimmick. If they do, then, why not include her in the list of senatorial or congressional candidates in 2007?
Hopefully, Filipinos have learned their lessons and will no longer allow themselves to be hoodwinked by any propaganda like this Immigration incident that only shows more the defects in the Philippine system. Walastik iyong anak VIP treatment and travelling with official passports even when she is not connected with the government, and worse, travelling on official junket gaya noong buong pamilyang pumunta sa China, pati apo kasama!!!
Oops, this should read: As for her job, SHE EAVESDROPS for her parents, I guess, disguised as a DH!!! Kahit na nga hindi mag-ayos DH, puede ngarod na maging DH!
Frankly, I have difficulty accepting the fact that this daughter would even be allowed to review military parades even when she is not a government official nor a dignitary, and golly, in informal jeans even when it costs thousands and thousands of pesos!!!
Hindi pa nga opisyal iyan abusada na, what more when she becomes a Congresswoman or a Senator. Sobrang gimmick even re her FS exam. Ang taas daw ng score! Baka naman katulad iyan ng nursing test scam! Tataas nga ang score niya!
In short, anything the Pidals do is subject or should be subject to scrutiny! Dapat lang! 😡
Simplicity is not in the way a person looks, but is in the person’s heart.
chabeli, puso ng saging?

pinoybato, kelan ba nagpasapaw ang pamilyang ‘yan? kelan ba sila naging passionate sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan? kung talamak ang kamalian, katiwalian at pang-aabuso sa alinmang sangay ng gobyerno, ‘yan ay dahil sa bulok na halimbawang ipanakikita ng abusadong pamilya malakanyang at kanilang mga alipores na bayaran.
upang maasahan natin ang efficient and effective performance na mga karaniwang empleyado, dapat lang munang ipakita ang mabuting halimbawa ng mga nakatataas, hindi ‘yung magmumula sa ibaba.
…ipinakikita ng abusadong pamilyang naghahari sa malakanyang …..
just some observations :
minsan , meron talagang mga pasaherong pinapauna sa linya… eto yung mga nahuling mag check-in at aalis na ang flight. i’ve read that the Immigration Officer explained that this was that Luli accepted the explanation.
sa maraming bansa , meron separate/special queues sa immigration for citizens or local residents ( both arriving and departing ) dito sa atin , wala …
sa window ng Passport Control , may sign na BAWAL GUMAMIT NG CELLPHONE HABANG PINAPROCESS… but it seems this sign is only for the passenger not the Immigration Officers na panay naman ang TXT habang nakaduty.
granted , the immigration officer should not be rude to anybody … but i think maganda yung nangyare kasi people who are in power should once in a while be subjected to the same treatment they are subjecting the Filipino people
sana minsan , mastranded din sa baha , ma-kulong sa elevator dahil sa brown outs , ma dukutan din ng pitaka or ma snatch ang cellphones ang mga nasa gobyerno para ma katikim sila kung papaano namumuhay ang karaniwang Pilipino.
Gusto ko yan, Bayonic. Dapat si Arroyo, kapag magkasakit, sa PGH o kahit saang public hospital magpa-confine.
Even if Padlan was at fault for being rude, Fernandez and Sampol are over-acting.
Ellen,
I just read that Favila said “kung empleado ko iyan (si Padlan) fired kaagad yan”. SIPSIPAN na.
Kung sa PGH ma-confine si GLUE, papilahin din! Pero sa PGH ay magagaling ang doktor at baka gumaling pa. Sa ibang public hospital na lang na walang nakakalabas na buhay. She deserves the worst treatment.
Bayonic,
Totoo ‘yan, madalas mangyari na may-pinauuna dahil maiiwan na ng eroplano. Pero wala akong nakita na nagreklamo. Kaya kung iyan lang ang rason ni Luli(bye), it’s either siya ay TANGA sa airport/immigration policies of boarding or for MEDIA MILEAGE only.
Kung iyang si Luli(bye) ay well-treavelled ay alam niya na airport boarding standard na pinauuna ang mga pasahero ng eroplanong papaalis na. Kung hindi naman, siya ay tunay na MAL EDUCADA!
Pwede ko ba imbitahin si Luli-putian daughter para pumila sa NBI, DFA, LTO, MERALCO, ATM, SSS, POEA etc.?
Dito sa Pilipinas nakagawian na ang sumingit sa pila kaya kung pwede, pahiram naman si Luli para masibak ang mga nagpapasingit. Kailangan pang anak ng pekeng pangulo para masita ang mga magugulang sa pilahan. Kadalasan, yung gwardiya mismo may mga “alaga” sa pila, yung nag-abot ng panigarilyo, pangkape, atbp.
Likas naman tayong mapagbigay sa mga bisita natin kaya malamang, yung foreigner, matagal na dito sa Pinas dahil alam na ang patakaran, pag turista, laging pinauuna!
Pero dapat talagang sibakin yang Padlan na ‘yan! Di dahil bastos kundi dahil sa bulag. Yung laki ng ngusong iyon, hindi niya nakilala?
May punto ka Yuko, na gimik pampapogi lang yan dahil nagbabalak kumandidato. Ang hula ko Congresswoman. Yung kapatid na si Dato nga tatakbong Congressman sa Bicol at suportado nina Andaya at Villafuerte, kahit na isang linya sa Sarung Banggi di alam kantahin. E, wala namang lahing Bikolano iyan! Si Luli puwede sa nilakihang bayan ni Bansot sa Mindanao. Kailangang-kailangang huwag dumami ang mga mag-iimpeach kay Pandak sa 2007 kaya kung maari, pati katulong gawing congressman.
Luma na iyan paawa epek na yan. Di ba ipinag-presscon pa ng Donya noong 2001 na nasexual harassment yang si Luli, pero walang naawa.
Alam ko, ako, muntik masuka!
Kawawang Padlan. Kung nataon Palparan ang pangalan niya, oks lang sa Malacanang. Palitan niya ng Padpalan at patatawarin siya. Ano naman ang ginawa niya? Napakalaking kasalanan ba iyong nasigawan niya si MakuLULI(t)? Kasalanan ba niya kung napagkamalan niyang tsimay o tindera si Luli? Aba, mas maganda ba ang mga nakikita kong mga tindera sa palengke. Napakaliit na insidente na pinalaki dahil lang anak ng pekeng president ang tinamaan. Siguro nagtataray itong Luli kaya napikon si Padlan. Kasing taray iyan ng nanay niyang tiyanak. Kung ako si Padlan, magso-sorry ako sa media tapos sasabihin kong napagkamalan ko kasing katulong ng turista o banyaga ang nakapila.
Gusto ko yan, Bayonic. Dapat si Arroyo, kapag magkasakit, sa PGH o kahit saang public hospital magpa-confine.
sus, bakit dadalhin pa sa ospital para magamot? dapat diretso na sa morge at emblasamuhin kaagad tapos ihulog sa mixer ng konkreto. patatagalin ang panloloko sa tao.
NAKA UGAT NA SA ATIN ANG DISCRIMINASYION. WE TEND TO LIKE OTHER RACE THAN OUR FELLOW PINOY. LULI WAS RIGHT TO GET UPSET. SHE HAVE GREAT RESPONSE SA TOP RADIO STATION SA MANILA. SOME SAYS THAT SHE IS A HERO. SHE REPRESENT ALL PINOY WHO WERE DISCRIMINATED. IKAW HINDI KA BA NAKA EXPERIENCE NG DISCRIMINASYON?
What? What did you say Pinoysinger? Luliit a hero? If I were the officer I would certainly discriminate her. We didn’t exactly know what transpired and happened in that incident. This presidential daughter might have arrogantly confronted the officer. And since he didn’t recognize this second class looking daughter of the fake president, he blew his top. What’s wrong? What about that incident (or two incidents) in Laoag involving the Laoag Mayor? What about Cong. Roque Ablan who fired his gun to scare the pilot to impress his foreign visitors? Were these officials and politicians reprimanded or punished? Why single out a poor immigration officer who happened to wrong a very powerful person like this Luliit?
npongco,
si pinoysinger kapag may kantahan sa malakanyang nangunguna yan. lipsink pa!
Maniniwala na sana ako sa radio station na pinagsasabi nya, eh samantalang kung pumihit ako FM radio tuner kaliwa’t kanan.
sino ang pinagsasabi nyang “some says” , iyong mga lumpen na burgis na mahilig magkunwari? …iyong mga nagyo-yosi-yosihan para masabi lang na naninigarilyo?
tawag ko dyan ‘yosi-yosihan class’ – mahilig lang tumawag sa telepono, pero kung totoong aksyon na eh mga nakatago sa saya ng mga magulang!
IKAW HINDI KA BA NAKA EXPERIENCE NG DISCRIMINASYON?
bakit hindi mo itanong yan sa mga bumoto noong 1998 at 2004 presidential election?
Iyong pagboto sa nakaraang dalawang impeachment, hindi ba diskriminasyon yun?
Tumpak, Nelbar.
LULI WAS RIGHT TO GET UPSET. SHE HAVE GREAT RESPONSE SA TOP RADIO STATION SA MANILA. SOME SAYS THAT SHE IS A HERO.
ano raw? si luli, iro? sa bisaya at taosug, ang iro, aso ang ibig sabihin. kung sabagay, lahi nila. pero mukhang maamu, ano? ang amu, unggoy. bagay pa rin.
hahaha….you guys are weird…i am out numbered….but at least i am right about “NAKA UGAT NA SA ATIN ANG DISCRIMINASYION”….look at Mrivera’s response….why does he think other pinoy race are more superior? Pinoy tend to like other nationality than kapwa pinoy right? that was my point…..what ever your political orientation….i just see some good part about this incident…..that fact is most immigration officer are very arrogant…you dont know?…well try to ask most OFW…..or if you havent been to our international airport….then dont even mention unggoy…its out of topic…..unless your mind are full of hate…..carefull too much hate can kill you…hehehe…
pinoysniper, nasaan ang deskriminasyong sinasabi mo? bago pa ba sa administrasyong ito ang mga napabalitang karanasan ni luli? ikaw naman, para bang ang pamilya arroyo na lang ang may karapatang mambulyaw gayung kaya ganyan ang asal ng mga empleyado sa gobyerno ay dahil sa masamang impluwensiya ng halimbawang ipinakikita ni gloria.
OFW ako at nandito sa saudi arabia kung saan karamihan ng mga nabulag sa mga pagkukunwari ni gloria ay namumulat na at isinusuka ang kanyang mga pabalat bungang kabaitan.
This Pinoysniper could be a member of GMA’s Internet Brigade. He sounds like that Jun who’s been silent lately. Ooopss…why have I also become suspicious of others and brand them as members of Malacanang Brigade? Hmmm…it’s partly because I have not heard of such comments lately.
Customs cops tagged in extort try now off the hook?
Two Customs policemen may get off lightly from their alleged attempt to extort money from 17 Japanese university students who arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal II last Nov. 1.
Carlos “Ding” So, Bureau of Customs-NAIA District Collector, said the absence of a formal complaint against the policemen would prevent an investigation into the incident, and reduce it to a mere hearsay.
“I haven’t received any report on the matter,” So told The STAR in a chance interview at the NAIA Terminal II when the Customs official showed up for the arrival of President Arroyo from Hong Kong Friday night.
With the absence of a report from his men at the NAIA Terminal II, So expressed doubt that the incident even took place.
“I cannot comment or act on it because there is no complaint that reached my office,” he said.
On Nov. 1, a British professor from the University of Meiji Gakuin, Professor Tom Gill, complained that two Customs policemen tried to collect Y1,000 each from 17 Japanses students who arrived with him in Manila via Philippine Airlines flight PR 431 for a two-week study tour in the Philippines.
Gill reportedly left his students momentarily at the arrival area of NAIA Terminal II to look for fellow University of Meiji Gakuin teacher, a Filipino named Rey Ventura, at the waiting area outside the terminal.
When he returned to his students, he learned that Customs policemen, who were later identified as Joal Vargas and Danny Pebeanco, approached them and allegedly asked for the money as “airport fee.”
Joselito Franco, NAIA Terminal II Customs police officer-in-charge, had reportedly berated the duo upon learning of the extortion try.
Franco said he had already informed his superior, Major Elpido Manuel, Bureau of Customs-NAIA police chief, of the incident and the latter had ordered Vargas and Pebeanco relieved from their post.
Franco told The STAR that Vargas and Pebeanco will be penalized further, aside from being relieved from their airport assignment as a result of the incident.
***Just because there’s no formal complaint, the two are free? Another BS ! Innocent people are being arrested without warrant. Here’s a case when several Japanese students were themselves the witnesses.
peace….i dont belong to any political party….i am just an ordinary OFW like you Mrivera (sa riyadh din).. i was an activist before…but now i promise not to get involve in any politics…..it was from TFC ted failon radio station ko narinig about Luli….it is so happen that here in riyadh we have so many pinoy that are “bisaya at taosug”…not much of “iro” in arabic “kalb” because muslim dont like dogs. “unggoy” you may find it somewhere in dammam…..i am sure with your comments….they will wonder which part of riyadh you live?…mmmm…..
pinoysniper, kung saan merong project ang boss kong lebanese, nandun din ako and presently dito ako sa jeddah. ordinaryong laborer ako, pero pakialamero kaya nakakasingit sa computer.
pinoysniper, being in the blog of ellen voicing out sentiments out of what is happening in our country under this most unwanted administration does not mean participating in politics but merely to let others know there are people out here who keep on watch over the illicit practices of gloria and her legion.
Pinoysniper…a nice name. At first, I thought Pinoysinger. Let’s just hope there’s no sniper here from the Palace.
