May rason naman para magsaya ang oposisyon sa resulta ng pinakahuling survey ng Pulse Asia sa mga senatoriables sa May 2007 eleksyon.
Ang nasa top 12 ay mga personalidad na masasabing naka-linya sa oposisyon. Ito ang nangunguna sa senatorial race sa ngayon: Loren Legarda; Panfilo M. Lacson; Francis N. Pangilinan; Manuel B. Villar, Jr.; Alan Peter S. Cayetano Vicente C. Sotto III; Ralph G. Recto (28.7%); . Korina Sanchez; Aquilino Pimentel “Koko”III; Gregorio B. Honasan (24.1%); JV Ejercito-Estrada; Edgardo J. Angara;
Sabi ng Pulse Asia, hanggang no. 19, maari pang masabi na malakas ang posibilidad manalo. Ang pito pang sumusunod ay sina Benigno C.”Noynoy” Aquino III; Francis G. Escudero; John Henry Osmeña (17.8%); Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon (17.8%); Imee R. Marcos (17.6%); Joker P. Arroyo (17.0%); at Luisa “Loi” Estrada.
Sa mga tauhan ni Arroyo, ang may pinakamataas na rating ay si Mike Defensor, presidential chief of staff, na nasa no. 20.
Si Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye ay no. 41, si Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita ay no. 43 at si Environment Secretary Angelo Reyes ay no. 47.
Si Mikey Arroyo, anak ni Gloria at Mike Arroyo at congressman ng Pampanga ngayon ay number. 44. Sayang at hindi sinama ng Pulse Asia si Mike Arroyo at malaman sana natin kung gaano kababa ang tingin ng taumbayan sa kanya.
Alam ko may isang survey group na nagsurvey ng popularidad ni Alan Peter Cayetano at Mike Arroyo ng kainitan ng balita tungkol sa deposito na $500 million sa German bank. Ang resulta malapit sa plus 30 si Cayetano at minus 40 si Arroyo. Ibig sabihin , mas naniniwala ang taumbayan kay Cayetano.
Napanood ko sa ANC ang dagdag na obserbasyon ni Ana Marie Tabunda ng Pulse Asia sa kanilang pinaka-huling survey sa mga senatoriables. Sabi niya mataas sa rating ang mga anak ng dating presidente katulad ni JV Ejercito (number 11) at Nonoy Aquino (19). Ngunit si Mikey Arroyo ay number 44. Ganyan kabaho ang pangalan ng mga Arroyo sa taumbayan.
Kaya lang ang oposisyon ay dapat hindi magkuntento sa popularity. Dapat ayusin nila ang kanilang organisasyon sa buong bansa. Matindi ang organisasyon ni Arroyo at hawak nila ang kaban ng bayan. Dapat gamitin nila ang lahat na kaya nilang gawin para hindi na maulit ang dayaan na nangyari noong 2004 na eleksyon.
Isa pa. Sigurado ba silang oposisyon itong nasa top 12? Nandiyan si Recto na mismong nagsabi sa interview kay Pia Hontiveros na siya ay “moderate”. Hindi raw siya talagang hardline na oposisyon.
Kung ganun, ano siya? Saan ang panindigan niya sa isyu ng pandaraya at pagnanakaw ni Arroyo?
Dapat salain ng oposisyon ng husto ang sasali sa kanilang tiket.
With the results of this Pulse Asia survey, it seems to tell me that the possibility of Gloria being BUSHWHACKED in the upcoming elections is great!
Aside from the ARROYO name being synonymous to what is EVIL & DIRTY IN THE PHILIPPINES, even ANYTHING &/or ANYBODY associated with this family name spells (POLITICAL) DEATH!
GLORIA IS THE PROBLEM. THE FILIPINOS ARE THE SOLUTION. VOTE FOR THOSE WHO WILL SUPPORT AN GLORIA IMPEACHMENT! Voting for Gloria’s Legions is as good as having Gloria for life!
Hindi ako sanayon kay Kiko Cuneta(-Pangilinan) or better known as MR. NOTED. Sa tingin ko, he, along with siRAULo Gonzalez, knew that Gloria cheated (as to why they kept saying “NOTED”)!!!!! Bumaliktad lang ito si MR. NOTED because of personal interest. Enough of these types of politicians!
I agree with you mam, may mga hunyango diyan sa top 12 senatoriables.Huwag tayong paloko sa mga tulad nila vilma recto, shawie pangilinan!Huwag tayong magtiwala sa mga tulad nila villar, lalo natong si angara!Wala po akong tiwala sa mga ahas na yan!Huwag nating kalimutan ang mga ginawa nila kina Erap at FPJ!Let’s vote only those who are consistent and unyielding in their call to oust the bogus one, no more, no less.Ingat tayo sa mga magiging pronouncements ni vilma”noted” pangilinan,si shawie “moderate(translation:if the price is right)”recto!Pero bago lahat, it’s imperative na wala si abalos and his gang of cheaters sa comelec, otherwise, I fear the 2007 elections will be bloody(literally),God forbid.We call on the international community to help us Filipinos in this 2007 elections, to be observers, so as to put strong pressure on this bogus gov’t. not to put in motion their vaunted machinery(cheating).Protectors of the People(Soldiers w/honor&integrity),save us and move now to rid us of this bogus and immoral president and her rapacious gov’t.Patalsikin na, now na!!!!
Immoral Arroyo is like a stinking river that it’s next to her sleeping quarters in Malacanang is most appropriate -Pangalang Baho. The name Arroyo and Macapagal are disgrace and without credibility, conniving family of thieves. Everytime the name Arroyo is mention, we think of illegitimate Gloria’s lying, cheating and stealing, not mentioning the killing of 780 activists and journalists or thereabout in which will be connected forever to the Arroyo’s legacy, and to fake Gloria personally. The name Arroyo represent the raping of the constitution and subversion of legitimate govt. The Arroyo has humiliated the Pilipino nation worldwide, has stolen and sold our dignity as a nation shamelessly. Surely, the name Arroyo should always be associated with the worst leaders of our time, such as Hitler, Pol Pot, Saddam and that guy in North korea, et al. They don’t deserve any kind of respect as people, spit on them Arroyos!
Wala naman mabango kay tiyanak…buong katawan at kaluluwa mabaho…iyon pang pangalan niya? May ipinadala na akong 12 Kung Fu Masters na lulusob sa Malacanang. Hintayin niyo lang at bibitbitin nilang palabas ng Palasyo si tiyanak…
Sa mga naglalabasan na mga survey results ay ipinakikita lamang ng mga taong tinatanong kung ano ang sentimiento sa kasalukuyang namumuno ng pamahalaan. At iyang ang malaking problema ni Tiyanak at ang kanyang mga alipores sa Lower House na sina JDV at Nograles.
Dahil kung mangyayari ang pagpapalit ng mga hinayupak na mga maka-administrasyon sa Lower House ay malaking problema ito para kay Tiyanak.
Kaya nga si JDV ay kung anu-anong kabulastugan ang ginagawa kulang na lang na i-impeach ang mga Justices na nagbigay ng huling katuldukan sa P.I. ni Gloria (PIG).
The present senate will remain in the hands of the opposition after a rout of potot’s candidates. The battlefront is in the election of representatives. We must mark those lapdogs and not vote for them to ensure potot’s impeachment.
Malacanang is not releasing the Pork Barrel to the opposition senators. This made Flavier told his colleagues to kiss Gloria’s ass to get them if they want the Pork. What’s this GMA counterpart dwarf is saying? After such long silence, was that all Flavier could say? Was that the reason why he never criticized GMA? Flavier doesn’t come clean either. He claims to be the poorest senator but there’s a report that he bought nice houses for all his children and family members. Where did he get all these money? Pork Barrel?
I hope the Japanese government will follow up on this reported atrocities and conduct an investigation as to the nature of the experiments and if possible identify the victims and proper apologies and compensations to the surving families be extended if found to be true. If wrong were committed it is never too late to right it. We have apologized for the Head Tax imposed on the relatives of Chinese Labourers who brought their relatives after building the transcanada railroads. We have apologized for the Canadian of Japanese descents for being interned during the War as pre-emptive measures. Those were mistakes done in the context of time, but mistakes they were and to admit and be humble and apoligized for them won’t mean weakness but being honest and honourable and I believe the Japanese people are just as honourable and humble enough to admit the mistakes and wrongs…
baho? amoy bulaklak ‘yan! ng pungapong, ‘yung merong bungang ugat na parang gabi pero lumalaki ng ga-bilao at inilalaga para ipakain sa baboy. at ang halimuyak ng bulaklak ay parang bulok na bangkay! pwe!!
Renato,
I agree with that we should “…call on the international community to help us Filipinos in this 2007 elections, to be observers, so as to put strong pressure on this bogus gov’t. not to put in motion their vaunted machinery(cheating).Protectors of the People(Soldiers w/honor&integrity),save us and move now to rid us of this bogus and immoral president and her rapacious gov’t.” And, if I may add, may GOD BLESS THE REPULIC OF THE PHILIPPINES.
npongco, tama ka! nagtataka ako sa mga staff niyan ni Flavier?
Hindi nakakapagtaka kung bakit ganito na lang ang estado ng HEALTH CARE sa bansa natin.
Dapat ay nagkaroon ng masususing pagsasaliksik kung bakit ang mga doktor dito sa Pilipinas ay naglilipatan na maging nurses. At ang mga nurses ay mas gusgustuhin pa na magsilbi at magpa-alila sa ibang bansa kaysa sa tulungan ang mga kababayan nila?
Subukan nyo rin na ipagkumpara ang mga pribado at pampublikong hospital dito sa bansa natin.
Nakakapagtaka kung bakit wala sa SURVEY ang mga tulad nina JV BAUTISTA, SATUR OCAMPO, DODONG NEMENZO, RENATO MAGTUBO, LIZA MAZA, WILSON FORTALEZA, RONALD LUMBAO, TEDDY CASIÑO/JOEL VIRADOR, RAFAEL MARIANO, DANNY LIM at iba pa na mula sa sektor ng kabataan at mga MORO???
Kung patuloy nga nating tatangkilikin ang mga binanggit ng PULSE ASIA, eh hindi pagbabago ang hinahanap natin!
Hindi para sa pagbabago yan! para sa Status Quo yan!
bwisit!

i prefer her majesty, the queen termite be counted next to judas escariote because of her pagkakanulo sa pagtitiwala ng madlang pipol. siguro, ito ang tunay na lahi nilang makakapal, hindi ang mga santo at santang kanilang ipinangangalandakan. at ang tumawag at humirang sa kanya upang maluklok sa malakanyang at ipagpatuloy ang hindi natapos niyang (judas) mga gawain. subalit, mas may budhi pang maituturing si judas dahil sa minsang sumbat ng konsensiya, nagbigti upang maging kabayaran sa kanyang pagkakanulo kay kristo sa halagang tatlumpung pirasong pilak. pero itong kasalukuyang ganid, limpak limpak na ang nakulimbat, hindi pa rin gustong tumigil habang mayroon pang mahuhuthot!
Bakit nga ba lumobo si Glue ng husto? Marami pa sigurong baho ang Arroyo na hindi nailalabas kaya elastic ang kanyang katawan from head to toes! Nakakamatay na kabahuan!

MMDA urges LGUs not to be sympathetic to sidewalk vendors
11/26/2006
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando has urged local government unit (LGU) officials not to be sympathetic to sidewalk vendors during the holiday season.
Fernando yesterday said he is appealing to the LGU officials from the 17 cities and municipalities in Metro Manila not to be lenient to illegal vendors during Christmas and New Year.
He added LGU and barangay officials are known to tolerate groups or individuals in their localities to sell their wares along the busy roads and thoroughfares.
They even close the roads or occupy side streets, oftentimes inconveniencing the passing motorists and commuters.
He said the local officials’ sympathy to the vendors would result in traffic snarls and would be counter productive to majority of the pedestrians.
‘’Don’t be sympathetic to them (sidewalk vendors),’’ he stressed.
Sidewalk Clearing Operations Group chief Roberto Esquivel said this early there are groups or officials asking them to be spared from the clearing operations of the MMDA.
Esquivel added there are those who try to convince him to give the vendors more time to put down their structures voluntarily.
‘’During these times when traffic is expected to get worse, we don’t have other option but to deny their requests and implement the order of Fernando.
********************************************************
palibhasa hindi nila nararanasan ang magutom o sumala sa oras ng pagkain. bakit hindi bigyan ng inaakala nilang tamang lugar ang mga sidewalk vendors upang hindi makasikip ng daan na nagiging dahilan upang makasagabal sa trapiko? napakatagal ng iniaangal ng MMDA ang tungkol sa mga vendors na sa halip tulungang kumita sa marangal na paraan ay itinutulak pa nila sa pagkakabulid sa mas nakakaawang kalagayan kaya hindi nakapagtatakang marami ang nakakaisip na gumawa ng labag sa batas upang mabuhay lamang!
Nelbar, nasapol mo!, at ewan kung bakit biglang naging ‘oposisyon ‘ itong sina Angara at Recto, o si Korina at Kikong Nakaka-antok. Imposibleng mataas pa ang timbang ng una kumpara kay Chiz Ezcudero ?!
Hmm, nagsisimula na ang trending operation!
Naglalatag na ng pundasyon para sa isa pang malaking panloloko ng botante at bayan, tapos idagdag mo pa ang Comelec ng madyikerong Abalos, magagaling talaga basta ang usapan ay PANLOLOKO.
Dito lang magagaling ang mga kumag.
At hindi exempted dito ang ilang hepe ng mga survey companies na mag-singit ng 2 o 3 pangalan para hilutin ng Comelec o ng Namfrel ni Concepcion. Not so elaborate a trap, eh?
Hanggang Eleksyon lang ba ang solusyon na alam ng taong bayan?
Nelbar, Senzennai:
Reading your respective comments, you both have a point, which makes me a little SUSPICIOUS OF THE RECENT PULSE ASIA SURVEY…Dapat mag-ingat ang mga botante! I wonder if PULSE ASIA will reveal to the public WHO COMMISSIONED this recent survey. Nakakapagtaka kung bakit wala ang mga pangalan ng mga TUNAY na oposisyon. Maybe THE ONE WHO COMMISSIONED THIS RECENT PULSE ASIA SURVEY WAS AN OPPOSITION-KUNO group, who, in reality are PRO-GLORIA! Bakit ako nag dududa?
1. The survey seems to indicate in influencing voters! Although the list shows some real oppositionists, it is meant to look credible; when in reality most of these people are NOT HARD-CORE ANTI-GLORIA!
2. #3 on the list is this KIKO CUNETA also known as MR. NOTED. Together with siRAULo Gonzalez, both were FULLY AWARE of why they HAD TO KEEP SAYING, “NOTED.” They already knew fully well that GLORIA CHEATED. They must have already known about Gloria talking to GARCI! Is this a man who a voter can consider loyal to the country or to the Filipino? NO WAY!
3. #4 on the list is MANNY VILLAR. He BETRAYED ERAP when he had him impeached in the House. IF HE HE DID THAT ONCE, HE CAN DO IT AGAIN! Was he really doing what he did for country and for the people? He was after his OWN PERSONAL INTEREST! I remember not too long ago, he kept going to Tanay DESPERATELY asking Erap for his support to be able to Senate President! I would DOUBT THIS MAN!
4. #12 on the list is ED ANGARA. I also rememeber some time back a Senator told me that Ed SOLD HIS LOYALTY to Gloria early on. Again, does this speak highly of this woman-beater? I WOULD NOT WASTE MY VOTE ON THIS TRAPO!
5. RUFFY BIAZON is #16 on the list. The dude DID NOT EVEN TAKE A STAND AND VOTE WITH THE OPPOSTION DUING THE LAST IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF GLORIA because of his pork barrel and kawawa naman daw his people! What that tells me is that he cannot take stand on issues that are important. How can one vote for a person who doesn’t have the, excuse the word, balls?
Tama po kayo, Nelbar, “Nakakapagtaka kung bakit wala sa SURVEY ang mga tulad nina JV BAUTISTA, SATUR OCAMPO, DODONG NEMENZO, RENATO MAGTUBO, LIZA MAZA, WILSON FORTALEZA, RONALD LUMBAO, TEDDY CASIÑO/JOEL VIRADOR, RAFAEL MARIANO, DANNY LIM at iba pa na mula sa sektor ng kabataan at mga MORO???”
Tama ren po ang comment ninyo, Zenzennai na “at ewan kung bakit biglang naging ‘oposisyon ‘ itong sina Angara at Recto, o si Korina at Kikong Nakaka-antok. Imposibleng mataas pa ang timbang ng una kumpara kay Chiz Ezcudero?!”
Para nga malabo yung survery.
aling pangalan pa ang babaho kaya,
sa kasalukuyang bunton ng ganid at sugapa
meron pa kayang hindi kahiya hiya
kung lantaran ang nakaw at gawa ng linta?
ilang panahon nang nasa kapangyarihan
dami ng pangakong lahat kasinungalingan
dami nang kinulimbat hindi pa rin masiyahan
ang gusto pa yata mahuthot ang bayan.
pangulo daw siyang halal, walang bahid dungis
pagkat sambayanan ang sa kanya’y nagnais
ngunit tanungin mo kahit batang paslit
iling na’y may sigaw pang itatakwil siyang pilit!
tigilan na sana’t linisin ang mukha
upang huwag pamarisan gawain n’yang lisya
sa kanyang paglisan magiging halimbawa
kahit siya’y isang ganid marunong ding mahiya!
kung meron nga!
And if I may add pa pala, #7 on the list is RALH RECTO, more known as MR. VILMA SANTOS. My comment on him in an earlier post of Ms. Ellen was that I had heard him being interviewed on TV and he told Pia Hontiveros of ANC that “I am not a hard-line opposition. I am not a hard-line administration.” What does THIS SAY ABOUT THIS DUDE? It seems to me that he is one of those “neither here nor there” kind of person. LOYALTY does NOT SEEM TO BE PART OF THE DUDE’S VOCAB! In other words, a TRAPO; wherever the wind blows, doon sya.
As a whole, what I want to express is that VOTERS should BE CAREFUL of these types of politicians (most especially the DIRTY TRAPOS)!!! The definition of Loyalty to a Trapo is to be loyal to no one but themselves. These are the devils who have destroyed the Philippines and who perpetuate the likes of Gloria.
Look at where the Philippines is today because of these people? Eto, sa basura!
God forgive me for saying this, “I hope this two disgusting and shameful thieving,lying, cheating arrovo couple, be accidentally prescribed cyanide tablets at the St.Lukes hospital!!
To my fellow OFWs,civil-disobedience tayo!Let us send our remittances not thru the formal banking system, but thru the informal door-to-door.This way our families’ material needs won’t be compromised,at the same time not allowing us,the OFWs to be used by the bogus one in her lies and spins, that the economy is doing well(to her self-dillusional credit).
My God this bogus,immoral usurper is pushing all Filipinos to become OFWs, as a quick-fix to poverty!God help us, now the poor are even poorer subsisting on,instant noodles!Buti pa nga noong panahon ni tita cory,galunggong!At least this lowly fish is more nutritious than arrovos’ instant noodle bullshit!Calling all OFWs, Soldiers(Protectors of the People),Journalists, all Patriotic Pinoys!Patalsikin na, now na!!!
Renato, I like that idea of sending OFWs remittances via door- to- door. Talagang malaki ang magagawa ng mga OFWs para bumagsak ang administrasyon ng pekeng pangulo.
Yeah Chi, it’s the only way I know to show my dissent and disgust to a fake and immoral president!I still love my country(inspite of),and I long for a good future for my children(in their own country).It’s good that we have blogs like these to share our opinions,pros or cons, but we have to do our share,our own sacrifices to bring down an immoral leader and gov’t..We have to, for the future of our love ones.I don’t even think about myself anymore, being in my 40s.It’s the future generation who will bear the brunt of a gov’t.,a leader, who has no iota of moral ascendancy,devoid of decency!We’re no soldiers Chi,we don’t wield any gun!All we have is our humble remittance as a weapon, and our resolve to do what is right.If we engage in being “fence sitters/watchers”, or even worse, “yakkers(daldal lang)”,this evil in our country will persist, or worsen!My God Chi, even our nursing graduates were already infected by the cheating epidemic, wrought in our country by the ultimate cheater, the bogus one arrovo!The young nurses of today now think that it’s OK to cheat,as long as you get away with it, because the bogus one did it! We have to stop this, stop the source!Patalsikin na, now na!!!God bless our country!
Renato,
That’s a great IDEA you have there, sending “…our remittances not thru the formal banking system, but thru the informal door-to-door.”
In my own little way, because I wanted to “protest” against Gloria, early this year, what I did was to give a member of my family a credit card. The billing address is addressed to me. Whether they need to buy groceries, need to get cash advance (which most credit cards do provide), I don’t need to remit money anymore and go through the formal banking system. I hate it when she uses our money for her political ambitions, not to mention her survival. Since I detest her, I will not be counted as a member of her supporters. It’s insulting!
Chi,
It’s worst when you patronize this door to door that is in fact blackmarketing. I’d rather that you send your money not through the Philippine banks that are operating illegally (no permit to deal in foreign exchange, etc.) but through the legitimate banks in your area.
I don’t send remittances to the Philippines except when it’s time to pay taxes on my properties there. And I send it through the Japanese postal bank to my sister-in-law there.
I have written about the money laundering by these Philippine banks that I have been informed of with the remittances in fact kept overseas and not sent to the Philippines immediately. Pinapaikot pa muna daw ng mga kurakot!
Renato, Chabeli, Yuko,
I don’t send $$$ thru Phil bank. Last time I visited Pinas, nag-iwan ako ng mga checks already with amounts. Cash na lang nila doon kasi I really don’t like to be a part of propping this fake admin of Glue bola-bola. Emergency, fedex na lang.
Renato,
You are absolutely right. Our nursing graduates are infected with the cheating epidemic of this bogus president. Nobody trust our nurses anymore which is a very sad reality.
All the while, this fake pangulo would like Filipinos to think that fil nurses can just work overseas because she said so.
Look at this news story:

‘No to Filipino nurses’
By CHERYL ARCIBAL
The Manila Times Reporter
The Japanese Nursing Association (JNA), which is against the entry of Filipino nurses in Japan, said the working conditions of Japanese nurses must be improved first before Filipinos are taken in.
In a recent interview, Kyoko Nagaike, a JNA board member, told The Manila Times that the salaries of Japanese nurses should at least be doubled before Filipino nurses could work in Japanese hospitals.
Under the Japan-Philippine Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA), Filipino nurses and caregivers can work in Japan as long as they undergo training and pass the licensure examination, which is written in Japanese.
The exams are the same tests given to Japanese nurses and caregivers.
Japanese nurses get a basic starting salary of 193,924 yen or about P85,000.
Nagaike said the JNA believes there are enough nurses in Japan to look after the growing number of senior citizens.
Nagaike said the JNA would only be willing to support the entry of Filipino nurses if the Japanese government could ensure that they would be given the same treatment and salaries that Japanese nurses were receiving.
“If we allow Filipino nurses to come in and they would be given lower salaries and lower benefits than the Japanese nurses are receiving, it could spell worse times for us because as it is now, the working conditions of Japanese nurses need much improvement and if cheap labor would come in, these working conditions, we’re afraid, would remain,” she said through an interpreter.
Nagaike said that if the working conditions of Japanese nurses were improved, as much as 550,000 nurses and nursing assistants would go back to working in hospitals.
The JNA laid down four conditions for accepting Filipino nurses in Japan:
• Filipino nurses must obtain a Japanese nursing license by passing National Examination for nurses.
• They must be proficient enough in the Japanese language to practice safe nursing care.
• They must be employed under the same or better conditions if they work in Japan.
• They must not admit mutual recognition of licenses.
Officials of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that under the JPEPA, Filipino nurses must go through six months of training before they can take the Japanese licensure examinations. Nurses will have three chances to pass the test before they are sent back to the Philippines.
Caregivers would be given four years of training and one chance to pass the licensure exam.
Nagaike, however, acknowledged that Filipino nurses could revitalize the nursing profession in Japan. She noted that in the Philippines the nursing course is four years, whereas in Japan, it only takes three years.
Nagaike said there is no shortage of young Japanese people who would like to be nurses.
In 2005, there were 215,211 Japanese students who were in nursing and midwifery schools, just marginally lower than 2004’s 216,6390 and higher than 2003’s 213,619.
Chabeli, here’s more in the list.

THE LONG VIEW
They’re making a list
By Manuel L. Quezon III
Inquirer

Published on page A15 of the November 27, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
WHOEVER SAID THE ADMINISTRATION DOES not have a Senate slate was slinging around a lot of hooey. The slate exists, at least a rough draft of it does, and that draft is being tested in the surveys. According to the Pulse Asia November 2006 nationwide survey on senatorial preferences, here’s how the administration candidates would do (I’ve listed their names, the awareness ratings they received as a percentage, and then their survey ranking for the Senate race):
Michael T. Defensor has a 97 percent awareness rating, and would come in at 13-27.
Robert Ace S. Barbers, 90 percent, 15-29.
Jose “Lito” L. Atienza, 84 percent, 15-31.
Hilario G. Davide Jr., 82 percent, 20-34.
Bayani “BF” F. Fernando, 80 percent, 20-34.
Eulogio “Amang” R. Magsaysay, 69 percent, 22-34.
Fidel V. Ramos, 99 percent, 26-39.
Alberto “Bert” G. Romulo, 74 percent, 35-50.
Feliciano “Sonny” R. Belmonte Jr., 71 percent, 35-50.
Ignacio “Toting” R. Bunye, 83 percent, 35-52.
Cory Quirino, 79 percent, 35-52.
Eduardo R. Ermita, 75 percent, 36-52.
Juan Miguel “Mikey” M. Arroyo, 93 percent, 36-53.
Angelo “Angie” T. Reyes, 78 percent, 39-55.
Prospero “Boy” C. Nograles, 60 percent, 42-58.
Margarito B. Teves, 53 percent, 45-60.
Parouk “Doc” S. Hussin, 50 percent, 51-64 (much weaker than two other possible Muslim candidates, Amina “Mina Rasul” T. Rasul, who has a much higher 80 percent awareness rating and would come in 34-49, and Nur C. Misuari, with an 86 percent awareness rating and a ranking of 39-55).
Max V. Soliven, 45 percent, 51-64.
Gabriel “Gabby” S. Claudio, 44 percent, 52-64.
Arthur C. Yap, 52 percent, 53-64.
Jose T. Almonte, 37 percent, 54-64.
Augusto “Buboy” Syjuco (despite all the Tesda ads), 42 percent, 54-64.
The 45-percent awareness rating of Soliven, who just died, is quite depressing considering his over half a century of work in the media. The mass media publicity in the wake of his death would have been electoral gold. And Ramos, Belmonte and Almonte are unlikely to be interested to run for the Senate at all. So, that leaves a still-too-large slate of 18 out of the 22 names thrown into the hat.
The problem, though, is that the putative administration candidates are obviously weak compared to the front-runners. As Pulse Asia’s media release put it, these are the people to beat:
“At present, 19 personalities—mostly from the political opposition—have a statistical chance of winning with the following being declared winners if the May 2007 elections were actually conducted today: (1) former Sen. Loren Legarda (52.9 percent); (2) Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson (41.1 percent); (3) Sen. Francis N. Pangilinan (36.6 percent); (4) Sen. Manuel B. Villar Jr. (31.4 percent); (5) Taguig-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter S. Cayetano (30.5 percent); (6) former Sen. Vicente C. Sotto III (30.3 percent); (7) Sen. Ralph G. Recto (28.7 percent); (8) Korina Sanchez (27.0 percent); (9) Aquilino Pimentel III (24.8 percent); (10) former Sen. Gregorio B. Honasan (24.1 percent); (11) San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito-Estrada (22.1 percent); and (12) Sen. Edgardo J. Angara (20.3 percent).
“Given the survey’s margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points, the following individuals also have a statistical chance of winning: (1) Tarlac Rep. Benigno C. Aquino III (19.3 percent); (2) House Minority Floor Leader Francis G. Escudero (19.3 percent); (3) former Sen. John Henry Osmeña (17.8 percent); (4) Muntinlupa Rep. Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon (17.8 percent); (5) Ilocos Norte Rep. Imee R. Marcos (17.6 percent); (6) Sen. Joker P. Arroyo (17.0 percent); and (7) Sen. Luisa P. Estrada (16.9 percent).”
So, of a possible administration slate, only Defensor has a fighting chance, with Barbers and Atienza as the long shots, even if we remove Lacson, Sanchez and Marcos who may have other plans. But even Barbers comes behind Jejomar “Jojo” C. Binay (81 percent, 13-27) and Orlando “Orly” S. Mercado ( 91 percent, 13-28).
An alternative, reform slate, however, seems to be doing poorly, too. They all are a long shot, for now:
Sonia M. Roco, 65 percent, 23-34; Solita C. “Mareng Winnie” Monsod, 83 percent, 24-34; Oscar “Pareng Oca” Orbos 70 percent, 31-43; Florencio “Butch” B. Abad, 51 percent, 36-53; Susan “Toots” Ople, 61 percent, 40-55; Randolf “Randy” S. David, 49 percent, 47-63; Nereus “Neric” Acosta, 34 percent, 47-63.
Some interesting snippets: Gilbert C. Remulla has an awareness rating of 74 percent and would come in at 24-35. Celebrity alone doesn’t guarantee victory—see the results for Richard “Goma” Gomez, who has a 9 percent awareness rating but comes in at 26-38. Neither does notoriety mean success nor throwing vast sums of money around really matter: Mark “MJ” Jimenez has a 74 percent awareness rating and would come in at 32-47. Being an opposition member doesn’t necessarily enhance one’s chances: Roy V. Señeres, 47 percent, 53-64; and past incumbency doesn’t guarantee you’ll do well: Francisco “Kit” S. Tatad, 87 percent awareness rating but a ranking of 18-31; and Ernesto “Boy” F. Herrera with a high awareness rating of 84 percent but would come in at 26-38. Receiving media exposure doesn’t necessarily cut it either: Roilo S. Golez, 76 percent awareness rating, ranking: 32-47. And having a pocket constituency won’t necessarily bring you over the top: Mike “Bro. Mike” Velarde, 86-percent awareness rating, but a ranking of 36-55.
No wonder the “final push” is on. The last time an administration faced a similar debacle in a Senate race was in 1971. This time around, the Palace will want to be the mistress, and not the slave, of events. It needs to elect five senators to block any mischief aimed at the President. Even with a gigantic effort, it might only engineer the victory of, at most, three.
Chi,
Let’s pray that not one, not even one, of the Senators being propelled by the crooks at the palace by the murky river would get even one vote although of course they, their relatives and cronies will vote for them.
As for Erap suggesting Villar, Recto and Pangilinan in the opposition’s slate, we may not approve of it, but it may even be just a ploy for their supporters not to support the Bansot!
I pray that this time, Filipinos would be wiser not to be carried away by these surveys that I am told are more often than not paid by people who want to manipulate the election by attempting to condition the minds of the voters according to this kind of survey.
WALO na lang ang iboboto kong SENADOR:
Naka-reserved na ang 4 (pang nueve, diyes, onse at dose)kay RENE JARQUE, DOMINGO CALAJATE, BONIFACIO GILLEGO at REPRESENTATIVE mula sa 791 biktima ng karahasan!
This is a protest vote! para dun sa patuloy na tumatangkilik ng TRADITIONAL POLITICS!
A GOOD name is better than precious oinkment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: andthe patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence..But the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it..
Consider the work of God: for who can make straight which He has made crooked?
Renato Says: “If we engage in being “fence sitters/watchers”, or even worse, “yakkers(daldal lang)”,this evil in our country will persist, or worsen!”
ano ba ang mas karapat dapat nating gawin? tayong mga nasa labas ng bansa?
parang kilala ko at hindi naiiba ang “yakkers(daldal lang)” phrase na ‘yan, ah. parang ‘yung “pagtatatalak lang na kayang gawin ng mga bloggers dito” smack ‘nung selective poster na matagal nang absent. o bagong strategy lang para makapagpadama. anyone agree?
Mrivera, basta ako na nasa labas ng bansa ay patuloy na magdadakdak, ito lang ang aking pwedeng kontribusyon sa aking nakagisnang bansa. Oo nga pala, isa pa ay ang isahin ang aking angkan kung sinu-sino ang dapat iboto sa Mayo.
Chi,
Sinong may sabing daldal lang tayo ng daldal? Malaki ang nagagawa ng daldal dito sa blog ni Ellen. Nakakayanig ng mga matatakaw at sakim as we have proven these past months.
At least, dito sa Japan, may ginagawa kami na nakakayanig sa mga hapon kaya worried na worried si Bansot at akala niya kung hindi niya susuportahan ang JPEPA ay hindi na siya papautangin at bibigyan ng abuloy ng mga hapon. Gaga talaga. Ang hindi niya nababatid ay mismong mga hapon ayaw sa JPEPA. Kaya nga hindi iyan isiningit ni Koizumi noong kalakasan niya. Nang bababa na siya saka siya nakipagpirmahan kay Bansot, at sa attitude na kung makakalusot.
Kaya iyong mga NGO na pinoy, tirahin din ninyo diyan sa Pilipinas ang JPEPA na ito. Dito binibirahan ng mga NGO na hapon iyan. Nahuli na nga iyong isang magtatapon ng toxic chronium waste sa Pilipinas. Buti na lang naagapan!
Tira lang ng tira!
Chi,
Great info on MQ3’s article!
Renato, Chi, Ystakei,
Why don’t we pick a date as the day when those in this blog remit money to the Philippines through the formal channels, NOT TO DO? Just for a day. Parang our way ba of protesting against this Gloria as well as protesting what Mike Arroyo has done to the journalists, including our very own Ms. Ellen. Do you guys think that idea will work?
Yuko,
I need to know who among these would-be-candidates will make even a bit of difference for pinoys. Naghahanda ako for my angkan and friends choices for May election.

But, just as there are heroes, so also must there be heels. The heels are those same notorious characters known to uphold injustice, repression, deception and the like. Take the case of the latest hairbrained suggestion by Mike Defensor that, for the sake of the country, we should now reconcile our fractious society by fielding in a “unity” senatorial ticket! This idiot must take us for idiots. Hoy, gago! Halatang halata na ang layunin ninyo ay hindi para magkaisa ang bayan, kung hindi maisahan ang bayan! It’s just another one of those asinine ideas that betrays the malevolent administration’s paranoia and desperation. The handwriting is on the wall, Mr. Defensor. The opposition will be swept into power! Soon! Take it from the charismatic Trillanes of Magdalo fame who has sent a recent message to former Sen. Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan: “Sir, I promise you, we will be together! Soon!”
Sovereign touché of the week:
GMA: Let the capture of Honasan and his likes be a message that their days of adventurism are over! They have lost!
The Sovereign: On the contrary! They are winners, bigger than ever! The more you try to crush them, the more invincible they become! For, in the heart of each of these heroes is our own sovereign cardiac beat that counts each passing second that it will take to regain our long-lost freedom! Soon!
I don’t, as a habit patronize door-to-door remittnaces.I know for a fact that it’s a blackmarket system,not monitored or gauged by our banking system(specifically, the BSP).That’s my point!I would rather have my remittance go underground,unmonitored, so as not to allow this illegitmate gov’t. use it for it’s lies and spins for an improving economy.It’s a sacrifice, a necessary evil,a choice bet.2 lesser evils,and I’m sure fellow bloggers you will agree, the bogus one is the more evil, than going underground with our remittances!I call on my fellow OFWs!Magkaisatayo!Civil-disobedience tayo,ipadala natin ang mga remittances via door-to-door!Though it’s definitely blackmarket, just make sure you know the track-record and that you trust your door-to-door service there.Here in KSA. we have a reliable door-to-door service managed by Pinoys.My apologies for using the term yakker to my fellow bloggers.Yakker din ako,who only yearns to do something concrete,to help bring down an illegitimate and immoral gov’t..Patalsikin na,now na!God bless our country!

Chabeli,
I’m keeping your own research re our choices for this May elections. I’m collating these info and send them to my relatives and friends, including my own choices.
Chabeli:
I don’t send remittance to the Philippines except during tax time. I don’t need to because my relatives in the Philippines are mostly self-sufficient and self-reliant. No problem, too, about my mother and siblings in the USA. My sister-in-law in the Philippines live on her pension augmented by the rent she collects on our old house there. And I don’t want to patronize the door-to-door system Filipinos are used to because it is illegal. It is blackmarketing that is definitely discouraged in Japan, because it is not beneficial to the economy. Besides, as a police interpreter, I need to set the example of being obedient to the law.
If I were an OFW, I would not send remittance to the Philippines until the Bansot steps down. It’s a good way of sabotaging her bogus rule.
Gotta go to bed now. Masakit na ang mata ko. Lots of translations to finish actually. Gotta continue in the morning. Oyasumi nasai.
Oh sino ba itong Tongressman Robert Ace Barbers na ito at ngayon lang malapit na ang eleksyon dumadakdak tungkol sa smuggling of Indian nationals sa Pilipinas, eh ang tagal na ng isyung ‘yan. Bwisit na ito at nagpapapogi na! Ahh, ayon pala sa survey ay nakakuha siya ng 90% awareness pero pasok lang sa 15-29 range, sunod kay little Mike. bwahaha!
Si RObert Barbers ang isa sa mga tinaguriang Spice Boys ng Tongreso. Napilitan siyang sumama sa oposisyon noong Impeachment I dahil natumbok nang husto ang ama niya sa Hello Garci scandal na malamang ay naging mitsa sana ng katapusan ng Barbers Dynasty sa politika sa Surigao. Biglang kambyo si Robert Ace kahit na ang kapatid niyang nakapuwesto sa Tourism, kapatid na gobernador, at kapatid na meyor ay lahat nasa administrasyon. Sa Impeachment II, di siya nagpakita sa botohan gaya ni Dodot Jaworski kaya malamang, balik-baboy na rin ito.
Pilit na nanahimik ito dahil natakot matanggalan ng pork barrel matapos kumampi sa oposisyon nung 2005. Ngayon, balik-ligaya na naman! Tanggap na rin sigurong namatay ang ama sa sama ng loob dahil di tinulungan ni Gloria kay Garci kahit malaking pera ang ginastos.
Pumi-picture na naman para mapag-usapan kaso malayo ang laban. Siguro kung naging mas vocal siya noong Impeachment II, mas napalapit siya sa mga oposisyon. Kung ginaya niya si Cayetano, malamang hindi sila nagkakalayo ng puwesto.
Malas lang, mas mahal ninyo kasi ang pera, e.
Iyong dating Barbers na namatay na dinaya si Biazon. Itong anak hindi din puwedeng pagkatiwalaan. Kahit na mahaba ang buhok ko hinding-hindi ako magpapagupit sa kanila.
TongueT and Artsee,
Thanks for the valuable info. Sa dami ng mga Barberos ay nalito ako. I thought this was the same Barber in-charge of tourism. Ah, he’s definitely not in my listahan for any capacity, weakling din pala!
Sus, what’s happening there? Nagkalat na ng baho ang Arroyo!
The Metro is polluted from what, toxic substances?
Wala na bang ligtas kahit na ano sa ilalim ng pekeng pangulo na ito. Walang kabaggay-bagay kasi ang inuuna, eh! hmmpp!!!

Toxic fumes down 20, thousands evacuate Marilao
The Department of Health on Tuesday dispatched a team to investigate the chemical stench that downed at least 20 people and forced 3,000 to evacuate their homes in Marilao, Bulacan.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque told ABS-CBN’s Magandang Umaga Pilipinas that personnel from the DOH Environmental and Occupational Office have been sent to investigate the cause of the toxic fumes. He said a team from the Health Emergency Management Staff is checking the condition of victims rushed to the Sta. Maria District Hospital.
Duque said the DOH is coordinating with the Bureau of Fire Protection and the University of the Philippines’ Poison Center to identify the chemicals that affected residents.
Residents said they were roused by a foul smell from a nearby river in Barangay Sta. Rosa 1 sometime between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Tuesday. The residents compared the stench to the smell of liquefied petroleum gas.
Marilao Mayor Epifanio Guillermo said he received reports that a white truck was seen parked near the area early Tuesday.
Fourteen of the victims were identified as Gerald Javier, Jenny Rose Javier, Ricky Javier, Jun Valdez Javier, Margarita Javier, Jennilyn Javier, Jemarie Javier, Joseph Duazon, John Duazon, Fraline Leonodo, Maritess Javier, Sol Israel, Edwin Remodo and Marlene Aguilar.
Doctors said the victims experienced bouts of vomiting but were now out of danger.
On Monday nine people including five teachers were rushed to the hospital after they inhaled chemical fumes following a chemical spill inside a public high school in Makati City.
Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, Makati City police chief, said a hanging cabinet overloaded with bottles containing different chemicals crashed to the floor, causing the chemicals to spill and mix together.
Six teachers and two janitors from the San Isidro National High School were treated for skin and eye irritation at the Ospital ng Makati after bouts of vomiting and skin rashes, Mayor Jejomar Binay said.
Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon.Sit on the ground,there is no throne.O daughter of the Chaldees,For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Take the millstone and grind meal.Uncover your locks,make bare the leg,uncover the thigh,pass over the river..
You nakedness shall be uncovered,yea. Your shame shall be seen.I will take vengeance,I will not regard you as a man.
As for our redeemer,the Lord of Host is his name.The Holy one of Israel.
Sit down silent and go in the darkness,For you shall no more be called the lady of the kingdom.
I was wroth with my people,I have polluted my inheritance and given them into your hands.You show them no mercy,upon the ancient has you heavily laid down the yoke.
And you said,I shall be a lady forever, that you did not lay these into your heart,neither did you remember the latter part of it.
Therefore hear now this;You are given to pleasures and dwell carelessly,and say in your heart, I am and none is beside me. I shall not sit as a widow neither shall I know the loss of children.
But this two things shall come to you in one day; The loss of children and widowhood.
They shall come upon you in perfection for the multitude of your sorceries and for the great abundance of your enchantments.
For you have trusted in your wickedness and has said;
No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you,and say in your heart;I am and none is beside me.
Therefore shall evil come upon you; You shall not know when,and mischief shall fall upon you;that you shall not be able to put it off;and desolation shall come suddenly,you will not know.
Stand now with your enchantments,with the multitude of your sorceries,wherin you has laboured from your youth; If you shall be able to profit,if you shall be able to prevail.
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Let now the astrologers,stargazers stand up and save you from the things that shall come upon you.
Behold, they shall be a stuble,the fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame.Thus they would be unto you with whom you has laboured,even your merchants from your youth,they shall wander everyone to his quarter,none shall save you..

paano naman ang pagkain sa araw araw ng aming pami-pamilya? ang pag-aaral ng aming mga anak?
this is one advise really not acceptable to hand-to-mouth earners like me. sori, pero talagang hindi pwede.
ibang bagay na lang, huwag idamay ang pangangailangan ng mga umaasa sa amin. maraming paraan upang makapag-ambag sa ipinaglalabang panggigising sa binabangungot na pekeng pangulo.
I am not usually pessimistic but the fact that the incumbents are very quiet about the line up of their candidates, I can smell something very fishy. Are they trying to cook up something again on the Cha-cha? They may me looking at the retirement of Justice Panganiban as a window of opportunity to resurrect the Cha-cha again. Also, no matter how good we can be in picking our candidates (which is mostly the opposition) if we do not have the same “machinery” and “resources” as the incumbents, they can steal the elections a third time. I wish we will have more opposition vote watchers to ensure cleaner elections. Is there a legitimate way to do this? Have both parties represented in the election booths all the way to the final counting of the last vote.
Mike Bastusan Pambansa mole text me this:
“Mike Arroyo, Datu Arroyo, Iggy Arroyo and Mikey Arroyo were in full force today at the Ethics Committee hearing at the Bastusan Pambansa today. The Arroyos filed a case against Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano, to kick Rep. Cayetano out from the House. At one point, although his microphone was turned off, Mikey Arroyo was heard by some reporters during the hearing, cussing, and saying, “Put*ng I*a”…when he wasn’t being recognized to speak…”
Did he mean Gloria, his mother, when he said, “Put*ng I*a”? After all, Gloria has been behaving like a political prostitute!
I agree with you Mrivera.Our families needs are paramount.Di natin puwedeng kompormiso sila!Resorting to door-to-door remittance is just a temporary evil(I believe) that we have to wield as a weapon, against the devils’ agent, the bogus one.Once we have a leader we can trust and look up to morally,then we can send our remittances via the formal and legal banking system agsin, or better yet w/hope,God willing, we can go back home to work, with our families, and help rebuild our country,for the future generation.For now, Patalsikin na,now na!Civil-disobedience tayong mga OFWs!Ipa door-to-door natin ang mga remittances natin!Padapain natin ang pekeng pesidente at ang kanya nakakasukang gobyerno!!!God help us, and bless our country!
pinaniniwalaan pa ba ng mga survey na ‘yan? pare pareho lang ‘yan! bayad lang ang katapat! sus, kahit sino pa ang manguna sa alinmang survey, habang nariyan at nakaupo sa COMELEC ang ulyaning hudas na si abalos, magiging magic ang resulta ng alinmang eleksyon – kung hindi kikilos ang taong bayan. anumang gawin natin, kung parang hipong tulog na nagpapatangay na lang sa agos ang mga kababayan natin sa pilipinas, wala at wala rin!
magkakaroon lang ng kaganapan ang ating inaasam na masugpo ang reynang anay at kanyang mahal na haring baboy ng malakanyang kung magkakaisa, magkakasama at kikilos ang lahat ng kinauukulan!
Renato:
Anything wrong is wrong. Kahit na kaunti para sa isang tao, kapag marami ang gumagawa, marami rin ang labas, kaya masama.
Mrivera:
Alam ni Bansot ang sinasabi mo kaya malakas ang loob niyang ipitin ang mga OFW. Sa totoo lang dapat matoto ang mga pilipino na magsinop. Nakakapagtaka kung bakit hindi bababa ang mga bilihin sa Pilipinas kapag walang pambili ang mga tao. Dito magugulat ka sa dami ng bargain ngayon halimbawa para mahikayat ang mga taong gumastos. Kapag mahirap kasi ang buhay dito, marunong magtipid ang hapon. Malaking bagay ang naranasan nilang hirap noong guerra at pagkatapos ng guerra kaya marunong silang mag-ipon.
Isang kapansin-pansin sa mga pilipino ay mas magaling silang mangutang at magsanla sa mga ahensiya. Dito, hindi masyadong uso iyan. Dito kasi kapag hindi tinubos ang isinanla ay maaari kang kasuhan! Kaya iyong mga pilipinong magnanakaw na isinasanla ang mga ninanakaw nila ay nadarakip kapag hindi nila tinubos ang isinanla nila. Bistadong nakaw kapag hindi nila kinuha ulit ang mga bagay na isinasanla nila maliban na lang kung ipaparimita nila.
Sa totoo lang, iyan ang sinasabi namin sa mga OFW kung gusto nilang ipitan si Bansot. Boycott muna ang remittance for several months hanggang sa bumaba siya. Ang kaso hindi marunong magtipid ang mga pamilya ng marami. Inuuna muna kasi ang bilihan ng mga bahay at lupa bago pambili ng mas mahalagang pangangailangan. Iyan ang napupuna namin halimbawa sa mga pilipino dito sa Japan. Iba ang mga priorities na para sa praktikal na tao ay parang mali. Malalakas ang mga loob na akala mo palaging may pagkukunan ng pera.
Huwag kayong maghulog ng remittance ninyo sa door to door na illegal. Ipadala ninyo sa mga legal na bangko ng bansang kinaroroonan ninyo, huwag sa mga bankong pilipinong nag-o-operate din ng parang mga ilegal na door-to-door. Nakakahiya talaga ang mga ugali. Lahat kurakot!
ystakei, mabuti nga sana kung ganyan lang kadali. at saka masasabi lang ‘yan ng mga katulad mo na kahit hindi maghanapbuhay ay hindi magugutom at mapag-aaral ang mga anak, hindi paris ng mga kauri kong isang kahig isang tuka.
ystakei, ang mga binanggit mo sa itaas ay mga uri ng taong ang prinsipyo ay ‘yung tipong basta meron ngayon, bahala na bukas. mga taong nasanay sa maalwang pamumuhay kaya iginumon ang sarili sa bisyo, luho at mga pagkakagastusang walang katuturan. mga taong hindi sanay magpatulo ng pawis at hindi nanggaling sa hirap.
tungkol dito sa mga ofw remittances. hindi na bago itong sinasabi nilang boycott, last year ay ganyan din.ayon ako dito kay mrivera na ang mga kamag anak din namin ang lalong mahihirapan.mabuti kung angkan ng mayayaman puede iyan na mag boycott pero mangilan ngilan lang siguro iyan sa mga ofw.
Ewan ko Mrivera pero may mga galing sa hirap, mas mayabang pa sa talagang ipinanganak na mayaman kaya marami sa kanila kung makakalusot, lulusot. Dito nga maraming mga pilipina ang humihingi ng welfare sa gobyerno ng Hapon na para sa kanila at mga anak nilang ayaw sustentuhan ng mga asawa nila dahil alam ng mga asawa nila na ipapadala lang nila ang karamihan sa pera nila sa Pilipinas. Nakakahiya ang mga asal. Libre na nga ang mga tirahan at pag-aaral ng mga anak nila, hindi magbanat ng boto. Gusto nakasampa sa tulong ng ibang tao.
Bakit nagkaganyan ang mga pilipino. Dala sa ibang bansa pati ang mga ugaling kurakot! Kawawang bansa!
Wow, nabasa ninyo ba ang balita tungkol sa pagkabastos noong mga Pidals? Kung ako sa mga tauhan ni Cayetano, babatuhin ko ng bato ang mga matatakaw na iyan. Ang walanghiya! Iyan ba ang maharlika daw? Ang sama ng mga bibig. Tapos ang lalakas na loob na ipasok ang pangalan ng mga kamag-anak nila para maging santo daw. At hindi na nahiyang makikamag-anak sa isang madreng kastila! Hibang na, magnanakaw pa, sakim pa, etc. Kakakulo ng dugo! Pwe!
🙁 😡
Mrivera:
Sakripisyo ang kulang sa mga pilipino, apparently. Hindi komo may sapat na kakayahang mamuhay ang mga kamag-anak namin sa Pilipinas kaya nasasabi kong kaya kong huwag magpadala ng remittance sa Pilipinas kundi kahit mga kamag-anak ko handang magtiis kung kinakailangan. Isang salita lang! Walang urungan! Isa pa, sinabi ng Panginoon na kung iyong ibon pinapakain niya kung kinakailangan, tao pa kayang mahal niya?
Sa totoo lang, kaya umasenso ang Japan ay dahil na rin sa handang magtiis ang mga tao dito noon alang-alang sa bayan. Tinikis nila ang kanilang mga bituka sa totoo lang para lang makabayad ng ipinabayad sa kanila ng Allied Forces sa mga sinakop ng militar ng Hapon. Iyan ang dapat na matutunan ng mga pilipino! Sapat na sakripisyo para sa bansa!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
I don’t dispute and have no doubt that the Japanese are patriotic and nationalist. We only have to recall those Kamikaze pilots. However, their love for country is partly due to their blind obedience to Emperor whom many Japanese still regard as God. Such love for the Emperor and country drove the Japanese to work very hard after the war making it among the most progressive nations in the world today. Sad to say, Filipinos are lacking in many ways and things. There’s still the regional conflicts. We can count on our fingers who the true Filipinos willing to sacrifice and die for the country. Once again, I invite and challenge these people to visit the Philippines…only then can they be a little credible when they return to their adopted countries.
Chi, nagugulat ako sa pagkasabay-sabay ng mga toxic leaks na iyan. Mukhang kaduda-dudang magkasabay na nangyari. May kinalamamn kaya ang pondong pinambili ng equipment ni Ex-PNP Chief Lumibao na milyun-milyon ang halaga? Last week, nai-demo na iyang mga damit para sa chemical attack sa Cebu, pero walang pumansin. Kahapon medyo todo ang coverage ng media kaya siguro, tigil na ang mga toxic leaks na iyan. Mukhang nagpapapogi lang para sa ASEAN, sinaktan pa ang mga tao.

Yuko, Mrivera, Renato: talagang maimpluwensiya itong blog ni Ellen. Biruin ninyo, pagkatapos na naiblog na magboycott sa remittances biglang laglag ang peso against the dollar. From P59.67 biglang P59.91 samantalang dagsa na ang nagpapadala ng pamasko ngayon. Nung mga nakaraang araw, lumakas pa nga ang palitan kahit lumakas ang dollar.
Yung remittance boycott, maaaring maparusahan yung mga inosenteng bangko na di nakikisawsaw sa politika.
Pero, puwede ring gamitin ang mga bangko laban sa pekeng pangulo. Yung mga bangko ng mga crony, lalo na yung ginagamit ng mag-asawa sa money laundering, iyan ang iwasan ninyong padalhan ng remittances. Simulan ninyo sa mga bangko ng mga Aboitiz (Union Bank), isunod yung sa mga Yuchengko (RCBC). Tapos, yung Allied Bank at PNB ni Kapitan Lucio. Landbank naman pagkatapos.
Yung mga accounts ng mga kamag-anak ninyong nasa crony banks, ipa-close na ninyo. Mas maganda kung sabay-sabay gagawin. Mahirap kasi magproduce ng malaking cash kaya mapipilitan silang humiram sa overnight rates. Pag marami at sabay-sabay, papasok na ang Central Bank. Pag malawakan na talaga, bank holiday na ang idedeklara at bagsak sa isang iglap ang banking industry. Nakatali ang mga pera nila sa mga fixed assets at securities na di basta-basta magiging liquid. Ibibenta nila ito nang palugi par a makabuo ng perang ibabayad sa sabay-sabay na withdrawals. Kinabukasan, automatic na mismong mga may-ari at mga opisyal na ng mga bangko ang magsisimulang kumilos para mapatalsik si Gloria.
Yung mga elite na may kontrol sa negosyo, hindi iyan kikilos hanggat hindi sila apektado. Sa oras na sila na ang tatamaan, pasasaan ba’t matulin rin iyang babaliktad!
Puwedeng gawing iyan at nung isang taon ko pa itinutulak sa PCIJ, pero walang kumagat. Kokonti kasi ang OFW sa site na iyon di gaya dito.
Iyong mga negosyanteng crony na wala sa banking industry, malawakang boycott ng mga produkto din ang sagot diyan. Kasabay ang general strike, tuluyan nang mapipilayan ang supportang nanggagaling sa mga elite.
Sa paraang ito, hindi lang ang mayayaman ang may kakayahang magpatalsik sa isang pangulo, gaya ng ginawa kay Erap. Dito sa stratehiyang isinusulong ko, hindi matutupad kung hindi magsasama ang mayayaman at mahihirap.
Pagkakaisang hindi kailanman nagawang itaguyod ng rehimeng ito.
Salamat, TongueT. Sa totoo lang, sa hinaba-haba ng paninirahan ko sa Hapon ay hindi na ako sanay sa mga palusot ng mga pilipino. Noon pa na-realize kong mali ang pagtaguyod ng mga blackmarket,iyong mga ilegal na palitan ng dolyar, etc. foreign currency sa Escolta at Mabini na nalaman kong kaya hindi mahuli-huli ay may mga patron sa gobyerno, mismong sa Central Bank of the Philippines. Kaya ako never na nagpadala ako ng pera sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng door-to-door at mga bankong pinoy na nag-ooperate dito ng ilegal including PNB, Metrobank at Landbank kahit na sabihin pa nilang maliit ang handling charge at mabilis ang pagtanggap ng pera. Para kang nag-tolerate ng kriminal niyan.
At least, naiintindihan mo ang kahalagahan ng mungkahing ito ng mga kasama ko sa movement for better Philippines pati na iyon mga pilipinong nagsuporta sa OAV, stop the sending of remittances to the Philippines until the Bansot is arrested and properly prosecuted for her crimes against the Filipino people!
Kung sabagay, wala naman akong kamag-anak na nagugutom sa Pilipinas kahit na sa palagay ko handa silang magutom kung kinakailangan. Paalaala ko sa kanila iyong salita ng Diyos, “Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?” (Luke 12: 24) Sa totoo lang sanay sila sa hirap. Kaya nga clannish ang mga Ilocano!

tongue, P59.91? nagpadala ako kahapon, P49.39 lang, ah. baka nagkamali ka lang.
Mrivera,
Saan ka nagpadala? Sa kolorum na door-to-door? Taga ang mga iyan sa totoo lang! Kaya mas advantageous ang magpadala sa legal na bangko sa totoo lang.
Tama si TongueT, i-boycott ang pagtatago ng mga ipon sa mga bangkong nagpa-finance kay Bansot kaya may mga posisyon ang mga may-ari kahit na ambassade extraordinaire!
TAMA NA, SOBRA NA! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Toxic leak, walang nakukulong na mataas ang posisyon? Bakit ganyan! Dito ang isang dahilan kung bakit ayaw ng maraming maging presidente ng mga kompanya, etc. ay dahil kapag may nangyari ang pinakamataas ang rangko ang mapupuruhan. Sa Pilipinas, iyon pang mga walang rangko ang pinahihirapan. Saan ka naman nakakita ng injustice na ganyan! Pulis palpak lalo na kung galing pa ang mga hepe sa militar na walang alam kundi magpasikat!!!
SOBRA NA, TAMA NA! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
ystakei, having served the army instilled in me the love of my country, kaya hindi ko kailanman kinakalimutan kung ano ang nararapat kahit nasa ibang lupain ako. alam kong illegal, bakit pa ako magpapadala sa nag-o-offer ng door-to-door service na fly-by-night means? alam kong talo ako pagpirma pa lang, papauto pa ako? kuha mo?
Basta huwag niyo lang kalimutan ang awit na “Bayang Magiliw”…okay na.

O sintang lupa,
Perlas ng Silanganan;
Diwang apoy kang
Sa araw nagmula.
Lupang magiliw
Pugad ng kagitingan,
Sa manlulupig
‘Di ka papaslang.
Sa ‘yong langit, simoy, parang
Dagat at kabundukan,
Laganap ang tibok ng puso
Sa paglayang walang hanggang.
Sagisag ng watawat mong mahal.
Ningning at tagumpay;
Araw’t bituin niyang maalab
Ang s’yang lagi naming tanglaw.
Sa ‘yo Lupa ng ligaya’t pagsinta,
Tamis mabuhay na yakap mo,
Datapwa’t langit ding kung ikaw ay apihin
Ay mamatay nang dahil sa ‘yo.
May sariling awit akong tinatapos. Ang pamagat na balak ko ay “Lupang Hinarang”. Tungkol ito sa lupa o bayan natin na hinarang ni tiyanak kaya patuloy na nagdurusa ang mga mamamayan.
patingin ng lyrics, para maniwala ako. he he. para ma-arrange natin ang punebreng musika. at iaalay natin kay glutonia.
Kung nakakamatay lang ang mga pinagsasabi sa blog na ito, matagal ng tepok ang mga Pidals, heheh. Sabagay, ay nakukunsumi naman sila ng todo kaya palagi ang takbo sa St.Lukes. Pwede na rin!

ang problema nga lang, chi, mamamatay na nga ang mag-asawang salot pagpapayaman pa rin sa pamamagitan ng pangungurakot ang iniisip nila! mga ganid kasi kaya ganyan!
