The closer the time of reckoning (May 2007 elections), the more desperate Gloria Arroyo and her minions become.
Rejected twice by the Supreme Court for their fake People’s Initiative and unable to get majority of the senators to agree to a Constitutional Assembly to change the Constitution, Arroyo now wants to just change the Constitution through “congressional action”. What animal is that “congressional action” is, only Arroyo knows.
BY REGINA BENGCO
A CAUCUS in Malacañang chaired by President Arroyo the other night agreed to scrap the May 11 elections and hold instead elections for parliament in November under the proposed shift to the parliamentary system.
Gabriel Claudio, presidential political adviser, said a “final draft” of the proposed charter amendments through congressional action will be ready by today.Claudio said it will be “smooth sailing” at the House after the draft is approved by a general caucus of the chamber.
He said the administration expects that a referendum will be held before Feb. 12, the last day for the filing of certificates of candidacy for the Senate.
Monday night’s meeting was the second to be convened by the administration on charter change. The third and last was going on last night also in Malacañang.
Claudio said President Arroyo chaired the caucus but preferred to leave the details of Cha-cha to Congress.
Charter amendments through “congressional action” is the preferred term for the latest Palace initiative because Constituent Assembly is widely understood to mean the Senate and the House sitting together.
Speaker Jose de Venecia is of the position that the House can propose amendments even without the participation of the Senate because of the constitutional provision which says Congress may introduce amendments by a three-fourths vote of “all its members.”
De Venecia places the three-fourths at 295, all House members if need be.
Claudio said holding of parliamentary elections in November will banish the “no-election scenario” fears.
“Walang ambush, booby traps, the purpose is mainly for the administration to put a reasonable gap between the two major electoral activities to come, to allow time for automation. We will be transparent. We will set the date of the election. Ito nga transparent to ensure that no surprises will be sprung on them. Ngayon pa lang it would provide political legal moral basis to (charter change),” he said.
He said a technical working group chaired by Rep. Constantino Jaraula (Cagayan de Oro) and made up of representatives from administration political parties will come out today with a “simplified document” containing the proposed shift to a unicameral parliamentary system.
He said the proposed amendment will define membership in the parliament. There will be three classes of members: those elected by district, those by region and those by party list.
He said he is hoping that the senators would participate once they see that the proposed amendment which will accommodate them as regionally elected members of parliament.
He said there are “back channel efforts” in order to “confront the objections or actions to be taken by the opposition.”
STRIPPED-DOWN VERSION
Sen. Ralph Recto said the “compact version” of the proposed amendments would not change the attempt of Cha-cha advocates to shift to a unicameral parliamentary form of government.
“Editing can probably squeeze the amendments into a compact document. But this won’t diminish the consequences of the changes sought,” he added.
Recto reminded congressmen that the opposition of senators to the Con-ass “has never been editorial in nature, it’s more on the political thrust of the proposals, so the solution is not the crafting of a bantam version of the proposed amendments.”
Minority leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. denounced the supposed proposal for 36 regional members of Parliament “to bribe senators with positions in the proposed unicameral parliament (which unfortunately) will not save charter change from inevitable demise.”
CARROT AND STICK APPROACHPimentel assailed what he said was the mentality of De Venecia and his allies of dangling a carrot to persuade senators to drop their resistance to the convening of a Constituent Assembly where both chambers will vote jointly.
“The Senate will not stand for bribery. Speaker Jose de Venecia does not seem to get it through his head that offering benefits to the senators won’t get him anywhere,” he said.
Pimentel said that if Cha-cha advocates really want the cooperation of the Senate in pursuing constitutional reforms, they should give up their constitutionally flawed stand that the Senate and House should vote collectively, instead of separately, on the amendments.
He said the intransigent stand of the House that it can amend the Constitution by itself and ignore the Senate betrays the Cha-cha advocates’ determination to pursue a sinister agenda which is to perpetuate themselves in power.
Pimentel said if the House will pass a resolution on the convening of an assembly without Senate participation, the Senate will immediately go to the Supreme Court, which is expected to rule the scheme as unconstitutional.
He said it would look like the so-called administration’s Plan B for charter change will crash on the “boulevard of broken dreams.”
JDV MAIN OBSTACLE TO CHA-CHA
Sen. Joker Arroyo said De Venecia is the single biggest obstacle to the proposal to amend the Constitution.
“He can’t make up his mind. If he makes up his mind, and he doesn’t change this, perhaps we could go somewhere,” Sen. Arroyo said.
He said the Senate could not even act on the supposed two-page document containing the supposed amendments to the Constitution since it was not formally transmitted to the Senate.
“Unless, it’s formally transmitted to the Senate, there’s nothing that we can consider. The idea there is they meet in caucus then after that issue a press release, expecting that the Senate will react on the basis of a press release. That’s not the way of communicating with the Senate,” Sen. Arroyo said.
However, he said the Senate is duty-bound to act on a resolution to be passed by the House “if they communicate with us for concurrence on a resolution, in whatever form or whatever language.”
But because of time constraints, the Senate could not even take this up, he said.
“We can’t be bound by their delays, by their indolence. If they don’t want to work double time, and work hard, we can’t be at their beck and call,” he said. – With JP Lopez
So the den of thieves (DOT) is meeting at the palace of EK chaired by ale boba, planning on dividing the spoils. It is interesting to see how the senate will resist the putsch to make the senate go the way of the dinosaurs – extinction.
Glue’s final push, no election in May. She’s still playing with Ramos and alter ego JDV.
Ang laki talaga ng utang na loob nitong Reyna Pandakekang na ito kay Ramos na siyang talagang dapat sisihin kung bakit patuloy na lumubha ang lagay ng bansa ngayon. Kung hindi sa matandang ito na forever dreaming of becoming a prime minister himself or the power behind the PM, sana ay putol na ang katarantaduhan nitong bogus president na ito. Ang dami rin kasing anomalyang nais takpan eh! Magsama kayo hanggang kamatayan! I have no respect for this Ramos! Kakainis!
i will rather call this the final challenge to filipinos and the opposition, find out who will dare to go against this queen descendant from a st.it could also be a wake up call for the silent majority.
Majority of the Filipinos will reject fraudulent charter change. CON+ASS without the senate is a lost cause. These congressional freaks are going in circle. De Venecia’s CON=ASS needs the senate’s participation to convene the constituent assembly to revise/change the constitution. The lower house needs the senate’s budget approval for the proposed parliamentary election in November 2007. The mandate of congressmen expires on June 2007. It needs a law for the extension of their expired mandate. A bicameral congress vote is needed to pass legislation. These freaks are pretending to be blind just to satisfy their power hungry boss. Back to square one, the Supreme Court has the final say if JDV’s CON=ASS has constitutional basis. I hope the rule of law prevails.
i share your hope diego k.
Aha! It’s true pala that this walanghiyang pekeng presidente na ito would have declared martial law. Kaya pala ayaw na sa kanya ni Bush! Ito namang si Ermita, tumandang pa-urong! Sinungaling gaya ng boss na walang authority.

Cruz: Arroyo planned on declaring martial law
President Arroyo considered placing the country under martial law in January but the plan was failed to push through after the United States government warned it would not support the declaration, Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz said Tuesday.
“I was able to talk with [former defense] Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and he was explicit to me that the United States is of the position that the Philippines should take the course of democracy and republicanism,” Cruz told ABS-CBN correspondent Ricky Carandang.
Cruz, a former lawyer of the President, filed his irrevocable resignation and will step down from the defense post on Thursday.
Cruz’s statement confirmed information from other ABS-CBN sources that the administration wanted to declare martial law as early as November last year to quell alleged plans of military adventurists to oust Mrs. Arroyo.
The defense chief said: “We cannot talk about [the discussions in the Cabinet] because of the principles of executive privilege.”
He, however, added: “What I can tell is that personally and professionally I am against any form of emergency rule.”
The supposed plan to declare martial law followed a visit to Manila by John Negroponte, US director of national intelligence.
Negroponte’s arrival came as a surprise though both Malacañan and the US embassy in Manila declined to issue statements about the details of the visit.
Former Senate president Franklin Drilon, meanwhile, said he was informed of the plan last December.
“I was informed that there was really a plan to declare martial law on January 15 of this year and therefore I was preparing to take it up in a joint session which the Constitution requires to be held in order to act on a martial law proclamation,” Drilon said.
The senator said he was even prepared to bring the matter before the Supreme Court.
But Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita denied that the President had wanted to declare martial law.
“That has never been a plan of the President. Wala akong nalalaman (I don’t know if such a plan existed),” Ermita said.
He said that Negroponte visited Manila to meet with officials of the US Institute of Peace.
Sinong maniwala na walang alam si Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita tungkol sa planong martial law. He is part of the inner circle including Bunyeta, SiRaulO, Norberto and Assperon.
Unti unti ng lumalabas ang kababalaghan ng administrasyong ito. Ermita had always denied that there was no martial law attempt at all. Buking sila! Moving to the con-ass, I wonder where the rest of the other tongressman are though? In the news only about 60 to 70 of them have attended the caucus so far. Where are the other 100 or so of the tongressman? Keeping a distance? Naniniguro? So that if the the con-ass of jdv passes nandoon sila but if it loses, mabango pa rin sila sa mga tao. In other words “balimbingan” na. One does not have to be an Einstein to figure out that if the senate does not participate in this con-ass, the tongressman can make it fly! Torpe! When did congress only mean the lower house in a bi-cameral congress? It has always been lower and upper houses. Sino ang niloloko nila? Tatawa tawa na lang ang mga senador sa mga tongressman na ito.
On the resignation of Cruz and now his undersecretaries, it is about time magkaroon na ng konsensiya ang mga alipores ni bansot. Sana sunod sunod na ang resignation ng mga nasa pwesto at isambulat na ng mga ito and karumaldumal na gawain ni bansot at ang kanyang mga alipores. But I guess bansot will not have a shortage of pimps and prostritutes in her arsenal. Basta may bayad kaya ng sino man ang maglingkod sa kanya. For the Tongressman, paldong paldo ang Christmas nila dahil malalaki ang “pork” nila kung aayun sila ca cha-cha ni jdv. Kung sa pagbabasura ng impeachment tumanggap sila ng 50 milyon, ngayun tumaas na, 200 milyon na! Wow! Malaking bahay na yan at may pang invest pa oversees at may European tour pa. Bayan ko, gumising ka na! Tulog tulogan ka pa! Maglilimangpung taon ka ng binigyan ng pagkakataong mabuhay na may demokrasya, matuto ka na! Sa mga tao, huwag na kayong magpaloko! Huwag na ninyong ibenta ang mga boses ninyo sa isang kabang bigas o kaya 500 pesos lang. Manindigan naman kayo bago huli ang lahat. Baka bukas paggising ninyo naka-squat na lang kayo sa sarili ninyong lupa!
The Tiyanak and her minions are really hell bent in changing the constitution in whatever means unimaginable – at all costs!
The main reason – the eventual outcome of the midterm election this coming May 2007 will be the changing of the guards. JDV will become a lameduck Speaker of the House and finally, the impeachment of the Tiyanak will push through. This is what the Tiyanak and her minions are afraid of. Nangangatog na ang kanilang mga tumbong.
However, there is another gimmick that these Congressmen are trying to bring out and that is the postponement of the midterm election till September 2007. What a crap! Tell that to your Marines, a******s!
Alam kasi nila Emilio na talo sila pihado! Hindi dapat pumayag ang mga pilipino na mamayani si Pandak! Maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan, ika nga!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees,and that write grievousness which they have prescribed.
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and take away the rights from the poor of my people;
That widows maybe their prey,and that they may rob the fatherless!!
And what will you do in the day of visitation? And in the desolation which shall come?
To whom will you flee for help?And where will you leave your GLORY??
papayag ba naman kaya ang taong bayan na huwag matuloy ang eleksyon? kapag ipinagpilitan ni glutonia ang no-el na ‘yan, diyan mag-uumpisa ang tunay na pagtutol ng taong bayan. kung mag-uurong sulong ang mamamayan upang ipaglaban ang sinisikil na karapatan at pangalagaan ang konstitusyong lantarang binabastos ni gloria asoyo, inilalagay nila ang kanilang mga sarili sa mas kaawa awang kalagayan.
lalo lamang bababuyin ng pamilyang ganid ang pamamahala at iisiping pag-aari na nila ang pilipinas!
papayag ba tayo?
NO-EL (not my name) is one option Gloria is thinking of. These Malacanang crooks have options and many plans to counter whatever consequence that comes their way. Why wait for them to implement those plans and options? We must act now! People Power! Revolution! Anything to get rid of this evil woman!
26 November 2006
Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ng karamihan e, lumabas din ang katotohanan. Imagine, the leprechaun and her broods pretending that they are pushing for the election in May 2007, just to finally admit yesterday, 28 November, that they are pushing for the grand NOEL scenario and instead push the election for the interim parliament in November 2007. In the first place who ever told them that the people want them to change/amend the constitution by themselves, CONASS, its Con Assholes for me, if you ask me??? Second, whoever told these TONGressmen that the people want a NOEL in May 2007, be it a plebiscite on February 2007 (as the TONGressmen proposed) and eventual election for the interim parliamentary members in November 2007. Thirdly, whoever told them that the people want the LEPRECHAUN to stay on to her “NAKAW” na pagka presidente??? Fourthly, WHOEVER TOLD THEM THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL COME FROM THE PARLIAMENTARY MEMBERS AND CANNOT BE IMPEACHED??? THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE, WHETER IT’S A PRESIDENTIAL FORM OR PARLIAMENTARY FORM.
JDV knows, that he has a remote chance of winning in his district in pangasinan, that is the real issue behind his push for cha-cha. And who will ever forget his burning ambition to become the prime minister of this benighted land (if I may borrow this word).
I call on the people to revolt, now that the palace is pushing for a NOEL scenario in may 2007. I call on the people to call for a snap election. NOW NA!!!!

What is happening to de castro??? As of lately never was heard from him anymore??? Tsk, tsk, tsk, natatakot na naman ata e.

How gullible Filipinos really are! How many times do they have to be hoodwinked by the Bansot and her minions? Gosh, bakit may naniniwala pa diyan? Ilan beses ba sila dapat lokohin ng ungas para madala sila? Masochist ba sila talaga?
Por dies, por singko, please tama na! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
ystakei:
A peaceful way is one million warm bodies right outside congress then these congressmen will begin to listen to their constituents.
The UP students had the answer when they pelted EGGS at the AFP Assperon….he didn’t like that treatment I seem to remember. Same goes for the PNP: the Justice Dept and these smug Congressmen.
noon lang sinabi ni JDV na bibigyan daw ng pwesto ang mga representative ng Overseas Pinoy sa propose parliament niya.
Tapos ngayon 36 regional representative na naman?
Laro talaga ng mga trapo ang manuhol!
Prans,
Ask TongueT, he knows! Nag-aalagaa raw ng mga lamok kaya maraming nadi-dengue sa Pinas. :).
Pati buwan at mga bituin ay ipapangako niyang si JDV masungkit lang ang PM! A big looooosssseeeerrrr!!!
prans Says: “What is happening to de castro???”
nandun sa isang sulok. nagtitiris ng taghiyawat. kaya nagkakabutas butas ang mukha ng ungas! ayaw isali nina glutonia sa iniisip na huwag nang mag-eleksiyon para manatili sa pwesto. siguro namura din ni imfatso kaya nagmumukmok!
kung magkakaroon ng eleksyon ng presidente ang Mindoro, Manny Pacquiao versus Noli Boy De Castro, malamang si Manny pa ang manalo!
No-el? Parliamentary election? Tsk tsk tsk! Wala na nga sigurong pag-asa pa ang pinas na makabangon pag ganyan kabulok ang liderato. Paurong sa halip na pasulong ang bayan. Pag hindi pa nagising ang taong bayan sa mga nangyayari ngayon, kinabukasan wala na ang Pilipinas.
ANG MAHIRAP AT DUKHA!
Mabuhay ka, Archbishop Cruz!

The poor
VIEWPOINTS
Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz
11/30/2006, Tribune
It is sad but true. To be poor in this country is a big living and continuing curse. During elections, all local and national candidates shout their avowed commitment to help the poor. When they are in office and in power, they still say they are pro-poor. Even the national leaderships loudly and repeatedly claims its pro-poor plans, programs and projects. It goes all over the world, attends assemblies, hosts meetings — yes — to eventually help the poor.
With the possible 2007 elections, exactly the same pro-poor speeches will be delivered ad nauseam. Campaign materials, slogans and advertisements will infallibly proclaim the basically pro-poor promises of the candidates, and it has been this way for decades on. The poor have always been in the primary concern of all the election candidates, in the priority agenda of all governments officials — from the local, to the regional up to the national levels.
Yet, all current realities plus updated statistical data show and prove one and the same truth. The fact is there are more poor in the land. In effect, the poor have become even poorer in effect, they do not have enough to eat, and simply die when sick for lack of medical care. There must be something fundamentally wrong in this country, something grossly wrong with the governance of the current administration.
More. It is not enough that the poor in this country remain poor and become poorer. They are in fact made the constant target of multiple exploitation.
One: They are the day-to-day victims of onerous indirect taxes from birth to death, though they may not know it, government taxes follow them throughout their lives. The water they drink (if clean), the food they eat (if any), the daily needs they have (which are many) are all taxed. Their beneficiary is the government while they remain its continuous multimillion victims.
Two: They are exploited as export labor. They are the abundant source of dollar remittances. There are women forced into the flesh trade. There are children given to forced labor. They are the common targets of illegal drug consumption from marijuana to rugby. Result: They all suffer while their exploiters all rejoice.
Three: They are special victims of small town lottery, bookies, jueteng and many other illegal forms of gambling they all eventually lose while the gambling operators and their payola beneficiaries all go to the banks laughing.
If the poor in the country would unite, march and take over whatever they want, no guns would be enough, no bullets could suffice to stop them. So helpless in actualities yet so strong potentials — this is the poor people in this country.
(Reprinted with permission from Lingayen Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz, from http://www.ovc.blogspot.com)
Arch. Cruz is right. The poor always end up as the victims. They are exploited and oppressed many times over by those in power. However, they don’t realize or don’t use the vast resource in their hands, the real power. This coming 2007 election (if it pushes through), the poor should demonstrate that power by trashing those who have continually fooled them and all Filipinos.
Unite? That’s a big problem. If the middle class cannot do it, how much more for others who don’t have the wherewithal and access (e.g., to information). We need leaders to guide them. Sadly, in this country, such leaders are called “destabilizers,” “lefties,” “commies,” etc. who should be liquidated. Yet the leaders who have no moral and legal authority continue to reign and are still there, obsessed with the power they never deserve.
NO-EL? BASTUSAN NA ITO! LALABAN O TATAHIMIK NALANG BA TAYO?
hawiianguy,
When a peasant leader appears, dini-deadbol kaagad ni Glueria!
Langya ka, Chi. May Mosquito farm na nga si Noli. Tuwing may meeting sa Palasyo, nagpapakawala ng isang pares sa opis ng Boss niya. Simple lang siya, diba?
OK sa akin si kabayad, siguruhin lang niya na dengue infected yong pinakakawalan sa opis ng kayang reyna-reynahan! mas madali siyang takutin o bayaran pag dedbol na ‘yong bansot!
mukhang ginagawa tayo ni dwende na “illiterate” constituents ng pinas. dalhin na lang kaya siya at ang mga cha-cha movers sa isang isla na malayo sa sangkatuhan at doon na lang sila magtayo ng kanilang sariling gobyerno at konstitusyon. ginugulo pa niya ang pinas at tayo pa ang ginagawang dahilan ng kaguluhan. mas matindi pa siya kaysa sa dating diktador. “hoy gising”…magpunas ng mukha mo’ng makapal, at magpakatotoo ka…!!!
People are full of good idea’s on what to do and how to do it. Even when they have all the information; facilities at their finger tips; they repeatedly talk about it and talk some more about it but NO ACTION!
The lack of ACTION is why this administration and their allies are running rings around us.
The UP students throw eggs at the AFP Assperon but instead of our support they are told its unbecoming as good students to throw eggs. Whaaat… when there are almost daily events of extra judicial killings, people disappearing into thin air…thats what I call unbecoming!

mali ka! hindi si santa claus ang dumampot ng $20 bill, naunahan siya ni jose pidal! basta pera, kahit ilang milya ang layo sa kanya, mabilis pa sa light speed, ‘andun kaagad siya!!! grabe talaga!
Hahaha, hehehe! Pinatawa mo ako ng malakas Mrivera. Mauunahan ba nila si Pidal pag dating sa $$$!
Bakit kay Mang Rivera ang lakas ng tawa niyo sa akin hindi? Tungkol sa Con-Ass, ang isigaw natin: Kiss my ass!
Pekeng Con Ass?
Ha ha ha, Ang laki na ng kanilang problema,dadagdagan pa ng mas malaki?? Hindi ito survival. Suicide ito.Hayaan nyo silang humukay ng sariling libingan.
artsee, ikaw naman! hindi kita sinasapawan.
sige, kiss your ass na istead of con-ass, makakatawa ba sila? imbes na tawa, ang lalabas sa bibig nila ay – uuuuuummmmmmpppppppppppphhhhhhhhhhh! nakangiwi pa ang mukha at maluha luha. he he he he heeeehhh!!!!
Mang Rivera, di tayo talo. Pero ako lang ang may karapatang magpatawa dito ha? Mismong si Ate Ellen nakangiti ngayon habang binabasa ang mga sulat ko dito. Ang problema lang, pagkatapos niyang tumawa ang inaalis ang mga sulat ko. Huwag naman suwapang. Dapat ipamahagi sa lahat ang mga sulat ko dito. Kung hindi dahil sa akin, sisigla at sisikat ba itong grupo?
I just read in the Inquirer that Drillon thinks that the proposed con-ass may be pushed through. As a lawyer he thinks that the charter change will make it. Is this a signal that the senators are also getting into Glue and JDV’s cha-cha train? Right now there are just 5 senators who are openly allied to Glue. Maybe the 6th one is coming. Talaga namang malakas ang 200 million pork! How can we ever be represented right when these are the kind of elected officials we have. Puro mandurugas!!!
Parasabayan,
tell you the truth, i never trusted Big Drilon. now that he’s power is very limited, you’ll see the real Drilon, pasirko-sirko rin kung saan ang pork! manang-mana nga sa kanya si Kiko NOTED Pangilinan Cuneta, kung nasaan ang ihip ng hangin ay doon sila! wala talaga tayong pag-asa na mga pinoy kung sasandal tayo sa mga mandurugas na ‘yan!
I agree with you Chi. Drilon together with all those who were with the GMA side cannot be trusted. Who knows how much and what deals these guys have struck with GMA? To me, the only legitimate opposition senators are: Pimentel, Lacson, Loi and Jinggoy, Fred Lim, Lacson, Jamby. Others like Enrile and Angara are a big question mark.
Gloria’s final push: why doesn’t she push herself from a clift and do the Filipinos a great favor of disapearing with her cha cha!
artsee, sige. tatawanan ka na lang namin. ang problema lang, hindi kaya kami magmukhang baliw?
anna, tatalon nga sa bangin si glutonia, naka-parachute naman. eh di makakatakas pa. at saka ‘yung ganid na ‘yun, gagawa ng pabor? magugunaw ang mundo, pero ang ugaling sakim at gahamang ‘yan di magbabago!
Noel, $$$ lang ang kapalit ng marami sa kanila.
hindi na rin makilala sa kanila kung sino ang talagang para sa bayan na hindi pumupuntirya sa kaban. para kasing mga multong nagbabangon sa puntod ng pagkakapariwara ng bayan. maniniwala lamang ako sa sino man sa kanila na makasasampal sa magkabilang pisngi sabay dura sa mukha ni gloria! subalit kung ganyang patuloy sila sa pananahimik habang lantaran ang pagwawalanghiya ng mag-asawa pati na ang kanilang mga anak na kawatan din, ewan!
Chi, the reported bribe of P50,000 for each solon to attend the Cha-Cha meeting was not accurate. Do you think these greedy solons would agree to such a small amount? P50,000 is just about $1,000. That’s just enough for a one night of fun or even a few hours of good time for these solons. I think it’s P500,000 for each solon. That would be more realistic. Remember Gloria has billions of pesos as her discretionary funds…
Mrivera,
Hanggat’s wala sino man sa mga pulutiko na ‘yan ang matigas na sabi mo nga kahit “symbolicall” ay sasampal sa magkabilang pisngi ng pekeng pangulo na ito, wala na akong tiwala kahit kanino man sa kanila.
Ang sabi ko sa aking mga kamag-anak sa probinsya ay magtulungan na lamang sila na magtanim sa aming minanang lupain doon na merong kalakihan naman, pausukan ang manggahan, at magsipag na magbenta ng mga ani. Ang hatian ay pantay-pantay! It works, salamat naman. Ang mga may magandang trabaho (hindi dahil kay Glueria) ay hindi nakikihati. Lahat sila ay kumakain ng tatlong beses isang araw at nakakatulong sa ibang nangangailangan.
Ngunit kung kailangan ang kanilang presensya sa harapan ng Malacanang para patalsikin ang pekeng reyna na ito ay susugod din sila doon dahil sila man ay pagod na sa mga kabulastugan ng babae na ito. O, biktima nga pala sila ng fertilizer scam ni Glue at Jocie.
Noel,
Baka nga mas malaki ang tapal. Iyong ibang tongresmen na walang pinatatawad, baka kinuha rin ang P50,000 pesos para sa mga queridas.
anna, i don’t think gma is so gaga yet that she will push herself from a cliff.maybe if your dogs are running after her or more normal if the taong bayans run after her.
