JDV backs off from Con-Ass

BREAKING NEWS!

House Speaker Jose de Venecia will announce tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 9) that the Senateless Constituent Assembly that he and his gang shamelessly railroaded last Thursday will not push through.

Malacañang sources said De Venecia was forced to back off because if he refused, Gloria Arroyo will issue a statement that she is not supporting the Con-Ass that will be convened on Tuesday. He would then be losing the support of Kampi congressmen, which would trigger more withdrawals.

Arroyo, the source said, got worried when the Iglesia ni Cristo told her that they are joining the opposition to the Con-Ass.

INC’s participation in the opposition to the Senate-less Con-Ass isolates completely Arroyo and JDV. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, Mike Velarde’s El Shaddai, Eddie Villanueva’s Jesus is Lord Movement, and the Protestant groups have lambasted the blatant violation of the Constitution and called on their followers to join the protest actions next week.

The source said De Venecia will say that he is willing “to bow to the wishes of the people”. Or he can say that he had an “epiphany” just like St. Paul on the road to Damascus, a source sarcastically said.

The source said when Arroyo at first talked to JDV about not going through with his Con-Ass, the latter was adamant saying, “It’s now or never.” But he probably realized later that it would be a slap on his face if Arroyo would disown him publicly.

Another source said, JDV was also prevailed upon to spare Arroyo the “painful chore” of disowning Con-Ass which she herself had endorsed and campaigned for.

Arroyo was apprised yesterday of the real danger that the protest actions against Con-Ass would swell into another “people power” and cause her ouster.

Malaya’s report: ( I did this early yesterday evening, when the info I got was, JDV was still resisting backing off from Con-Ass.)

    As expected of this bogus president, walang sariling paninindigan. Glueria is a YO-YO president!!!

    Glueria and JDV are coward SOBs! Mga duwag!!!

    And Glueria hopes that people will backtrack from their previous position? Hahah, luma na iyang kanyang strategy! People are already fired up! Sige mga kapatid, sugod tayo hanggang mag-exit ang mga Pidals na ‘yan!

    Is this a yoyo effect? Testing the water? Napaso kaya aatras?

    These hypocrites are afraid of the angered Juan and Petra dela Cruzes.

    Enough of their abuses and these hypocrites must be kicked on their asses till their nose bleed.

    I told you so! The missing link in this Con-Ass fiasco is INC. If you check my previous and other postings, the only group or religious group that could shake Arroyo’s government is INC’s Manalo. If the strongman Marcos bowed down to this church and Cory was tamed into submission, what more this Gloria who partly owes her throne to INC? I disagree with many of INC’s doctrines; but this time I say “Thank You”. Thank you INC and Bishop Manalo for your timely act against this evil woman. Better still, please withdraw your support from this devil woman now.

    One of commenters in MLQ III blog, hvrds already predicted this move by JDV http://www.quezon.ph/?p=1110#comments

    “I do not think that this exercises will amount to anything as by the end of next week JDV will waive the white flag and get a promise of some sort for charter change.
    I thnik there will be a con-con and the Senate will be transformed to regional or provincial representation. There will be elections next year with the elections for a con -con.
    GMA is being set up to be the savior. Just watch her turn around and slay the con-ass dragon.” hvrds said this on December 8th, 2006 at 5:40 am

    A very Accurate prediction, and a very Obvious CHARADE….

    Emilio,

    As I said in my previous posts, “kung makakalusot” lang naman ang mga bwisit na ‘yan!

  7. chi chi

    Sige Noel, mag-predict ka pa! Mas gusto kita kung ganito ang iyong mga posts. :).

  8. Didn’t JdV also say that if this last project of his, i.e., Con Ass didn’t materialize, he would leave politics forever?

    Let’s see if he has the balls to stick by his pronouncement.

    I hope for him his balls are still intact so that he could honor his promise.

  9. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    Ang sarap papilahin sa kalye itong sina JDV, Nograles, Pichay, Jaraulla, Villafuerte, Lagman, Cagas atbp mga maka-Tiyanak at pitikin ang kanilang etits ng mga galit na galit na Juan at Petra dela Cruzes.

    Makabawi man lang sa kababuyang ginagawa nila sa bayan!

  10. chi chi

    Sayang, bumigay si Glueria! Tapos na sana ang Tiyanak na ito sa Lunes. Naglulumuhod talaga para manatili sa pwesto kahit pang araw-araw lang. The most pathetic person on earth! Alis d’yan!

    What do you think of me Chi, a fortune teller or psychic? What many people fail to realize is that members of all religious groups are also citizens of the country. Therefore, they should be aware and take part in the political process and decisions even if there’s a separation of church and state. On INC’s side, majority of her members are the poor masses and these are the ones who would be most affected by the evil desires of Arroyo’s government. At the height of Edsa Tres, about two or three INC members were shot and killed in Mendiola by GMA’s soldiers. INC’s Manalo remembers that very well. INC has once again flexed her muscle by telling GMA directly that INC is not supporting the Con-Ass. That message was enough for JDV to back off. Now, our wish and hope is for INC to now join the opposition in kicking out this woman from the Palace.

    noel, your prediction as good as hrvds in MLQ III site and here are some excerpt from his predictions:

    “I do not think that this exercises will amount to anything as by the end of next week JDV will waive the white flag and get a promise of some sort for charter change.

    I thnik there will be a con-con and the Senate will be transformed to regional or provincial representation. There will be elections next year with the elections for a con -con.

    So far the only one who has shown cojones is GMA. Deliberately or not she has unleashed a small reign of terror and she still remains the center of the problem or solution.

    With her American supported palace guards she still rules the roost. The American Procurator in the Philippines will still back the ‘institutional’ leadership in the country.

    In spite of the platform no opposition figure – Roxas, Villar, Drillon or others have the cojones to offer a clear alternative. They want to play it safe. Too bad. History will pass these people by.

    GMA is being set up to be the savior. Just watch her turn around and slay the con-ass dragon.

    hrvds said this on Dec 8, 2006 5:40 am

    A very well planned charade if indeed the commenter above is right. Otherwise it is back up and deal with INC before the next move. Gloria is full of determination and come what may, she’s going all the way, unless she’s stop dead on the track…

  13. npongco npongco

    It should read: Let’s better hear…

    Furthermore, INC’s plans are a bit obvious at this point. Manalo is now slowly distancing from GMA as a prelude to Manalo’s annointed presidential candidate in 2010. From past experience and all indication now that FPJ is gone, Lacson remains INC’s most favorite. Of course Erap’s closeness to INC remains to be very strong. He too was supported by INC ever since as a Mayor, then Vice and President. GMA also owes her throne to INC since the latter supported her all the way beginning as a Senator. Palace dummies and mouthpieces as well as politicians are not afraid to refute and comment on other religious groups’
    actions and decision against the government; but not to INC. Take note that everyone is mum on INC’s decision against Con-Ass. Who dares even criticize Manalo? If there are one million registered INC voters, we are certain 80% to 90% of them will vote as one. This is not so with other churches including El Shaddai that tries to imitate INC but remain to be unsuccessful. Politicians are very careful not to comment…gee, 2007 election is around the corner. They need to prepare kissing Manalo’s ass again…

  14. chi chi

    You are a psychic, Noel, hindi manghuhula. heheh! And you also based this particular comment from the country’s experience. Well done!

  15. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    There’s no stopping the wrath of the Filipino people. The gathering of perfect political storm is long overdue after the power grab, stealing and cheating the 2004 presidential election. The die is cast and no more turning back. De Venecia’s sidetracking of his fraudulent Con-ass is just delaying the imminent ouster of abusive and corrupt Arroyo regime. The damage is done after the rape of democracy. Oust Gloria Arroyo!

  16. npongco npongco

    Oh how nice it feels to have someone agreed to my opinion and then seconded by another one. Thanks Norpil. I thought there’s a monopoly of only one person receiving such kudos. Despite the frequent deletion of my posts, I think I’m going to stick it out with this group…at least until GMA is finally ousted. You might have noticed that INC always and often comes out with her position and decision much later. INC usually does this during election sometimes not releasing the candidates she supports until the last few days before election. Some say this is to avoid politicians from bugging Manalo while others say INC only goes with what the wind blows. Whatever the reason, we all must concede that this INC is a very powerful religious group.

    Dinuguan? Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! The same reaction with my daughter.

  20. Diego,

    I love Philipine cuisine in general (although I can’t cook Pinoy dishes) and have no problem tasting almost anything but I agree with your daughter on dinuguan, Eeeeeeeeek! My brain just won’t allow my palate to taste it!

  21. I’m actually a cheap date or an easy going guest.

    Serve me a plate of pancit and halo halo I’m the happiest person in the world.

  22. I’m not exactly happy with the development because the protest momentum has again been nipped in the bud.

    On the other hand, a violent upheaval is avoided as of now.Maybe that’s good.

  23. Ellen,

    Gloria is so lucky, it’s unbelievable.

    If we are to go by some saying, Gloria has the luck that goes with a cuckolded spouse.

    Naduwag din sila. Pero sana, huwag matigil itong kilos protesta. Araw arawin na nila para mapaalis na yung mga maligno sa Malakanyang at Batasan. Dahil baka makakita pa sila ng ibang paraan para manatili sa puwesto.

  26. Ah Diego, never tasted or heard of “fatty litson baboy Dagupan”. Is that different from the ordinary litson baboy?

    Yes, its very special-JDV.

    Is Gloria showing sign of softening? Or just another strategy? If INC, as npongco has opinionated was the reason of JVD and his Legion of Lapdogs at the order from the top, to back up, then Gloria is not softening, but just retreating to regroup. Better be on the Alert all the time and prepare for the counterforce to re-act for the next volley from the Dark Side. They are going to invent more shenanigans, and buy their time and strike when everyone is napping. Never ever, let our guards down…

  30. Wala nang urungan dapat! Tuloy ang protesta with or withou Con-Ass. Magpapahinga lang ang mga ungas na iyan tapos magmamatapang na naman. Paulit-ulit lang iyan. Parang sirang plaka!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! HUWAG MATAKOT SA MGA KURAKOT! SNAP ELECTION NA!

  31. Chabeli Chabeli

    I’m not sure if the momentum has been broken. The anger is there. The deception remains. It is not as simple as an “all is well that ends well” kind of attitude. Nothing has actually changed-Gloria, JdV, and the rest of the Legions, have actually violated the rights of the people.

    GLORIA, JDV, ET AL BACKING “OFF FROM CON-ASS” DOES NOT ABSOLVE ANY OF THEM FROM WHAT THEY HAVE DONE !!

  32. Vic,

    I reckon your assessment of the Gloria tactic is right, “If INC, as npongco has opinionated was the reason of JVD and his Legion of Lapdogs at the order from the top, to back up, then Gloria is not softening, but just retreating to regroup.”

    If I were the oppositors, I would go ahead and impale Gloria’s political lapdogs along with her in one clean stretch.

    In other words, square it out with her and her minions even after she’s pulled her support for JdV. Nothing better than this attack strategy when the enemy is regrouping.

    Bombard her with without let up.

  33. chi chi

    Ellen,

    Glue is a real expert in the art of brinkmanship! Walang tatalo sa bruha. Pero matutuluyan din ‘yan!

  34. The Filipinos must adopt the “no quarter” approach because Gloria won’t and as you say, never let your guard down but the better mode would be the offensive mode.

    She would take any lull in fighting as victory and remember she’s got an infinitely better war machinery that she could start greasing to start the wheels in motion should Filipino oppositors stand down even for a minute.

    Gloria is beset from all fronts but only artificially, she’s not been attacked yet frontally. This is the time to do it.

    Don’t put for tomorrow what you can do for today. Opportunity lost is opportunity gone forever.

  35. mike_dlc mike_dlc

    Hmmm.. With the expected big protest rallies, I wonder what those “experts” (as in experts in manipulation) are thinking or feeling right now? Must be scaring them out of their wits and peeing and shitting on their stinky underwears. Buti nga sa kanila!

  36. parasabayan parasabayan

    Remember my blog a while back asking where all these religious groups are and one of you answered, these groups had blunders in the past and they might as well not be in the picture any time soon ( not verbatim but close). I always witnessed that they are a powerful force in any major action in the Philippines.

    Personally, if you ask me, I would have wanted tengang daga to push through with his “cunning ass” so that the throng will not just overthrow the “cunning ass” train but all those in it including the operator of the train, Bansot/tiyanak/Glue. THE NEXT TO WATCH OUT FOR IS THEIR MASSIVE CHEATING AGAIN IN THE MAY ELECTIONS! Remember they are regrouping again!

    ANNA, I do agree with you, this Pandak has the LUCK OF THE IRISH, so they say. She has mastered the art of CONing, that is why!

    Even if Bansot and tengang daga retreat, the massive march should go on. Threats are nothing to this Bansot, ACTIONS should follow! Because if we don’t, she will find a way to skirt around the issues again. ITULOY ANG PROTESTA!!!! With a perceived ally( Puno) in the supreme court ( although Puno is insinuating “hindi siya hawak sa leeg ni Bansot”), nothing is for certain that Bansot will not attempt another move on this “cunning ass”.

  37. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    The Iglesia Ni Cristo factor cannot be credited alone for Con-ass backtracked. The INK’s block voting is also considered during election time. The powerful Roman Catholic Church and El Shaddai charismatic group may be a contributing factor to stop fraudulent Con-ass express. The RC Church, El Shaddai, militants and other anti-cha-cha group can mobilize one million warm bodies in a short period of time. The usual Malacanang dirty trick, YO-YO diplomacy has no aftereffects in sidelining the JDV fraudulent Con-ass. The damage is done after the rape of democracy by Arroyo-De Venecia. They are only delaying the imminent ouster of bogus President Gloria Arroyo. The die is cast, the momentum of people power uprising is unstoppable. Only time can tell.

    i hope whatever be the drama of this evil GMA,jdv and their evil bums..the real issue is to oust GMA..once GMA is ousted it will be a domino effect to all her evil cabals and minions..they too will be out and they should pay for all the crimes and misdeeds they have done to the filipino people,,ousting evil GMA is the ultimate solution to have peace in the land..the philippines..the killings of innocent people,the judges, journalist, students, farmers, social workers and the wanton illegal arrest and suspension of legitimate demonstrations,legally elected local officials that being perpetuated by GMA`s minions headed by trusted henchmen of GMA and FG branded as stabilizers,rebels and terrorist must stop..let us not stop from here..we have to move and oust evil GMA..after this con-ass back off..next time the evil people will be planning again another move for their own interest..and what i`m afraid off,is they might succeed the next time..this GMA,jdv and their bum of evil cabals and minions are devils in disguise..let us pray that this will be the begining of their end!!God bless the filipinos!!God bless our country..the philippines!!

    Diego, I never said INC is the only factor. But you must be candid enough to accept the fact that INC is a great factor. Unlike other religious groups, INC has a very unique way of getting its message come across and its influence is something no one even the worst detractors could ignore. INC has moles everywhere…inside Malacanang, government agencies, PNP and AFP. About dinuguan, my mother-in-law cooks that very well. I’m against eating it not because of the teaching in the Bible; but of the kind of food it is. It has no nutrional value. Please be reminded that it’s not only INC that doesn’t eat blood; even Jehova’s Witnesses and some fundamentalist Protestant groups. If you want to start a fight, start serving dinuguan to your INC visitor.

  46. npongco npongco

    Sorry it should read: Nutritional value…Again, INC messed up by supporting this Gloria last election. Let’s hope INC makes up for that mistake and blunder by helping all opposition groups to finally oust this illegal occupant of the Palace.

For all we know, the back off might just be a ploy to stop the scheduled nationawide rallies. We must all be on our guard. As long as this evil woman is in power and in Malacanang, anything could happen. She could have promised INC’s Manalo not to continue with the Con-Ass; but she could also break her promise as she has done in the past. But she should realize that INC’s Manalo is a different stuff to deal with. It’s not easy to mess around with this very powerful and influential group.

    The hundreds of foreign journalists now in Cebu will be running after lo-cal stories if only to recover part of the expenses they have spent in preparation for the coverage of the postponed Asean Summit. Guess where the pack will be headed next.

    On Monday, the House of Representatives will convene into a Constituent Assembly by its lonesome. Anti-charter change groups are set to blockade the roads leading to the Batasang Pambansa.

    On Tuesday, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines will mount a prayer-cum-protest rally at the Luneta to denounce the House’s “illegal and immoral” efforts to force a shift to a unicameral parliamentary system. Manila Archbishop Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales has given his imprimatur to the rally. All Metro Manila bishops are expected to attend and bring the warm bodies.

    On Wednesday, it will be the turn of Mike Velarde’s El Shaddai, which claims it can mobilize up to a million, also at the Luneta.

    Supporters of President Joseph Estrada and Fernando Poe Jr. since the other night have been playing hide-and-seek with policemen assigned to prevent crowds from gathering at the Edsa Shrine in Mandaluyong.

    The United Opposition has yet to announce its plans. We understand some leaders prefer that, for the sake of the forging the broadest alliance of anti-Cha-cha forces, the overly political figures take a backseat this time.

    The militant Left may have its own agenda, but its leaders have a demonstrated nimbleness in building temporary alliances with anti-Arroyo forces.

    There is indeed a storm coming. And we don’t mean “Seniang.” Weathermen said the typhoon is of no significant threat to life and property. Organizers of the Asean summit said they had taken into account the weathermen’s inputs, but they nonetheless could not risk the regional leaders’ safety.

    Gloria Arroyo has so far ridden out efforts to kick her out of Malacañang because the issues raised against her have failed to rouse the anger of the middle forces. This fraudulent charter change campaign may yet prove to be the spark that could start the prairie fire.

    The Con-Assholes are backing out because they failed to con the people. They got away with so many illegal things that they were so cocky to think that they can get away with this glaring trampling of the constitution. Now, do they think that because they backed-out the people will forgive them and still trust them with a public office. They got another think coming.

    I use to think so highly of Teddy Locsin but now no more because he’s part of this effort. Come to think of it, I can count from my fingers in just my right hand the number of congressmen I respect,and that includes Taguig’s Cayetano, but not the congressman from my district, Zialcita. EDZA I will never forget for his arrogance in twice voting against the impeachment of GMA.

  55. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Re: INC messed up by supporting this Gloria last election.

    Even INC supported Gloria Arroyo last 2004 election; it does not necessarily mean she won the election. She won by massive cheating. INC block voting had no bearing in Metro Manila. FPJ won all Metro Manila cities and municipalities by landslide except Las Pinas. Bishop Manalo’s towering palace is located in Quezon City, M.M.

  56. miron miron

    According to Malaya’s editorial, there are planned rallies for Tuesday and Wednesday, and other groups are still planning their own. BAKIT MAGKAKAHIWALAY PA? Kung pagsabay-sabayin e di baka higit pa sa milyon katao ang dadagsa at mistulang daluyong na di mapipigilan. Dapat magsama-sama paminsan-minsan ang mga grupo na pare-parehong opposition para sa final push. Tuloy mapabulaanan yung bintang ng iba na hindi magkasundo ang mga opposition.

  57. npongco npongco

    Diego, I’m not interest in arguing with you about INC and its votes. FPJ’s victory in Metro Manila did not mean INC votes were not important to GMA. There’s one Barangay in QC called Barangay New Era where an INC annointed candidate could easily get almost 100% votes. That’s because majority of the residents in that Barangay are INC members. Why do you think Sony Belmonte won? INC supported him. INC has about 300,000 members in QC. Now back to Gloria, she cheated…no doubt about that. But if it were not for INC’s votes, her votes would have been much less. Political analysts and experts quietly conceded and whispered among one another that GMA actually won by only about 200,000 to 300,000 votes. That number was so small that could have ignited protests. To ensure that her victory was credible, GMA tried to increase her winning margin to one million to play safe and look good. Hence, she cheated. Had it not for INC’s one million votes, GMA would have lost even if she cheated. Why? Because INC’s one million votes could have gone to either FPJ or Lacson. The winner’s huge margin would be too difficult to counter and changed. That’s what happened to Erap. Her enemies tried to cheat him. There was Dag-dag Bawas. The late Cardinal Sin was always after Erap even during the campaign. The Makati Business Club and the elite did not like Erap. Uncle Sam did not favor Erap too. But then, Erap’s winning margin was so huge that he ended up as victor. Oh yes, INC also supported Erap; thus, INC’s votes helped Erap a lot. That could have happened to either FPJ or Lacson if only one of them was humble enough to agree to run as Vice. But as we all know, it didn’t happen.

  58. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    I think INC block voting is a myth in Metro Manila. If it’s true that there are 300,000 INC members in Quezon City then Gloria Arroyo could won easily in Quezon City. I believe some INC voted for Lacson or FPJ. They followed their conscience. Who knows?

  59. I believe there’s some truth in the argument that INC could have tipped the scale.

    We’ve always known that INC delivers bloc votes and I somehow believe that INC’s (officious for the moment) stand may have had a hand in this but as Diego rightly said, the INC is not THE ONLY factor.

    The congruence of several factors, i.e., Catholic Church with El Shadai, because they’ve decided to come out defiantly together for once along with INC’s implicit pronouncement that they would release a statement opposing the Con Ass attempt of Congress must have scared the living daylight out of Gloria and with reason!

    She reckoned she shouldn’t push her luck too far with all those religious blocks together, she would be tempting the devil if she went ahead and supported de Venecia so her bravoura fizzled.

    His Political Turbulence Cardinal Sin may no longer be around but a massive show of force by the different religious blocs ain’t something to take for granted. That plus the terrorist threats are just too much for one bansot, so she backed off.

    But dontcha all worry, she hasn’t said her last word. That’s why it’s important not to let her get away with it. The momentum is there – the religious blocs could still go and rally. Let the chips fall where they ought to fall and be done with this bansot.

    Time to show balls, time for Pinoys to take their courage in their two hands and on with it!

    Giving this bansot a respite will be bloody dangerous, she can turn around and douse people with cold water and where will that leave Pinas? In the muck until 2010 and beyond.

  60. Parasabayan,

    When you said, “ANNA, I do agree with you, this Pandak has the LUCK OF THE IRISH, so they say. She has mastered the art of CONing, that is why!”, you actually meant she’s good at BLARNEY talk, eh?

    Heheh! Yeah, she’s done NOTHING except weave a long BLARNEY yarn… Damn bansot! Never thought bansots could have so much wind!

  61. I suppose weaving yards and yards of Blarney yarn is really second nature to this bansot so don’t let her fool us.

    For starters, she says she’s canceling the Asean meet because of the typhoon, yet Pag Asa said it wasn’t going to be that bad. I mean how can one be two foot nothing in height and weave all that yarn when the whole world knows that the truth is that the summit was cancelled because she’s about to face a political storm as well as terrorist threats.

    Who’s she kidding?

    How can one be so brazenly liar as this mistress of Philippine Blarney yarn! The damn woman just won’t and can’t stop digging holes for herself – in that sense, she’s just utterly one dumb midget broad!

    We are giving too much credit to the INC’s influence as the reason for Gloria’s possible 180-degree turn when in fact it was the INC that just made two full reversals in relation to supporting Gloria.

    They almost pinned Gloria down for the kill during EDSA Tres and suddenly, they were voting for her. Now, they jump off her train they helped load with contraband the moment they saw it was about to jump into the cliff.

    INC was left with no other choice but to join the rest of the religious community that would use more dark metaphor in describing the chacha proponents in the upcoming rallies. Who would want his religion to be associated with individuals that priests of all the various faith would condemn to be Satan’s wards? It was simply an ass-saving job for Manalo.

    I do not also subscribe to the idea that it was another scripted God-Save-The-Queen plot. Whoever said Gloria was going to slay the ConAss dragon should have known better. Many congressmen have long conceded the elections in 2007 to the opposition and submitting themselves to a sure defeat means Gloria will not waste her, or our, money on their campaigns. She will instead invest on those who still enjoy local support despite being asssociated with her or use the money to buy support of the winning opposition candidates to maintain a comfortable majority. Or she may just keep the money to herself! Her ass is first priority, after all.

    Another reason is that the congressmen never really got their part of the deal yet for their killing of the second impeachment case. Next year is the only time they can start collecting as it is only next year that their multi-million public works projects will kickoff. This year’s budget is just a reenacted one; what they got this year was the standard P40-70M pork. Next year’s include billions for the big-ticket, big-kickback projects Gloria announced in her SONA.

    The third termers know that these will happen only after May as projects are prohibited 3 months before and during the campaign period. The only way they can dip their hands inside the cookie jar is by moving the elections to November.

    Now, Gloria knows she can’t portray these Congressmen as the real “kontrabidas” or villains as she does not want to court their ire as her own survival will be compromised should JDV and his followers decide to dump her like shit when she starts to treat him like one.

    The ConAss train is doomed, it either stops and play dead or go jump off the cliff.

    But we can’t let them take the first choice, to slip again into a false sense of security that the monster train seems to have stopped.

    We just have to push it all the way to hell.

  65. The only thing thats been proved is that the administration & their Congressmen allies are afraid to confront the people because its a numbers game they can’t beat.
    This administration is so scared that it cancelled the ASEAN Summit in Cebu. WoW! can you imagine how scared of the masses this woman is. Its possible that the military
    and police brass couldn’t give any assurances that they could control the masses demonstrating. But this administration is still in power and only One Million warm bodies standing outside the Palace gates will vacate that Palace. Its not enough for the church members to threaten action, if they want to take the credit they will need to get their asses outside the Palace gates, One Million and no less, now!

    Tongue, you better watch your tongue or your tongue might be twisted by the INC Hit Squad. Anyway, I partly agree with you. So much credit and image have been given to INC, but actually they just know how to play the game smartly. But you see, most if not all RP leaders who include this GMA are afraid of Manalo’s INC than any other religious groups. It’s not just because of INC’s block voting; but INC has spies everywhere. When Martial Law was declared, Marcos sent Metrocom and Marine soldiers to raid the INC Temple in QC. When the troops approached the INC gate (one INC guard was shot and killed), some troops started to fall after being shot from behind. They were surprised that some of their comrades began shooting at them because not knowing they were INC members. After that incident, then DND Minister Enrile warned Marcos not to repeat it. From then on, Marcos and Manalo became the best of friends. INC supported Marcos for 20 years. The 1986 Edsa Revolt would not have succeeded so easily if Manalo ordered his flock to Edsa to counter the Edsa One forces. But fearing that his members might be hurt and killed, Manalo did not push through. In most of the pro-Marcos rallies led by then KBL, many were INC members who also belonged to KBL. I was told that Marcos even wanted to seek refuge at the INC Temple when Malacanang was about to collapse but Manalo refused.

    During Cory’s regime, then AFP Chief of Staff Biazon instructed his staff to prepare a memo to be issued to all commanders to raid INC chapels for reported storing of high powered weapons inside the chapel compounds. Before the memo could reach the commanders, INC immediately got hold of the plan and the INC hymn was sung at their radio station DZEC. The playing of the church song was a message and signal to all members to gather at their respective locales. As a result, Cory’s plan to raid the INC chapels failed. You know why? The staff or secretary preparing the Biazon memo happened to be an INC member. Also at that time, Biazon made a remark stating he would finish off all INC members. Such statement angered Manalo and the members. There was a report that Biazon later apologized. In fact, Biazon was also supported by INC when he ran as Senator.

    And Goldenlion, your comment that the “dinuguan” is only for the pigs would anger some members here especially the Catholics. In fact, I’m also offended by your comment. Let’s be careful in our comments against certain church teachings. People have the right to believe or reject such doctrines.

  67. You said it Anna: “I reckon your assessment of the Gloria tactic is right, “If INC, as npongco has opinionated was the reason of JVD and his Legion of Lapdogs at the order from the top, to back up, then Gloria is not softening, but just retreating to regroup.

    “If I were the oppositors, I would go ahead and impale Gloria’s political lapdogs along with her in one clean stretch.”

    The truth is the Catholics and the El Shaddais were already binding together, while the members of the United Church of Christ have long been protesting this oppressive regime that has killed a lot of their leaders as a matter of fact. That was why the INC leadership has to join the bandwagon with their members actually spitting on the Bansot for beating and killing a lot of them in the May 2001 march to Malacanang, a reason I guess why Manalo had to play it cool.

    You hit it, Anna, there is nothing prophetic in this. It is just a matter of strategy. The Great Switik is trying to make cutie-cutie again with the Crooked Pangalatok as her scapegoat.

    Funny don’t you think that this woman would also try to use the INC as an excuse even when she is not one of them with her own church, the Catholic Church, now against her despite the attempt to bribe the priests and nuns as claimed by Annie in her leather jacket?!!!

    Anyway, tuloy ang laban, Anna. Good luck to your Monday protest in Belgium!

  68. You said it, Anna, nothing spiritual about this move of the Pangalatok. Just plain and simple tactic!!! In short, “Mandaraya!”

    I hope the B&W group, etc. will push through with their protests on Monday and Tuesday with or without the ASEAN.

  69. npongco npongco

    Diego, INC block voting is not a myth. It’s more of the members’ obedience to their doctrine that there should be unity among the members. They always invoke the teaching that God’s chosen people must only have one baptism, one spirit, one body, one faith, one judgment. Since voting is an expression of judgment, INC members believe they should also vote as one. They further explain that what is to God is God’s and what is to Caesar is to Caesar’s. As citizens of the country, they register to vote. But as members of one church and God’s children, they vote as one. They uphold this strong belief; thus, making most members obey. Do all obey? Of course not. Faith and obedience come into play. And do you know that other religious groups try so hard to imitate INC’s block voting but fail? Why do you think there are pastoral letters during mass? During election especially between Marcos and Cory, Catholic priests tiredlessly read pastoral letters asking the members who to vote. Their sermons were mostly against Marcos. This practice went on even until Erap’s time. Oh you should hear how the late Cardinal Sin attacked Erap in his sermons. Once, I attended a mass at Baclaran. During the greeting of “Peace be with you”, the priest told the audience: My brothers and sisters, when you say and greet “Peace be with you”, make sure the ones beside you are not Marcos loyalists. That statement turned me off. The truth is, INC’s one solid vote is the envy of many. They just cannot follow what INC does. Now to the question again if some INC members went the other way, of course some did. Some voted for Cory and Lacson or FPJ. But, I heard that such decision often affects their faith resulting in most of them leaving the church. And many have joined the rival group Ang Dating Daan of Bro. Ely Soriano.

    I told you so! The missing link in this Con-Ass fiasco is INC. If you check my previous and other postings, the only group or religious group that could shake Arroyo’s government is INC’s Manalo. If the strongman Marcos bowed down to this church and Cory was tamed into submission, what more this Gloria who partly owes her throne to INC? I disagree with many of INC’s doctrines; but this time I say “Thank You”. Thank you INC and Bishop Manalo for your timely act against this evil woman.

    JDV still doesn’t want to give up. Well, it’s his last chance, last card to be Prime Minister. He can’t even win as a Senator; yet, he attempted to run as President and failed. He might be strong in his home province Pangasinan; but a flop in other parts of the country. Age is catching up with this shit. Only amendment in constitution can make him Prime Minister. By the way, who is this Atty. Joan De Venecia who’s representing the US rapist Smith? Is she related to JDV?

    Thanks Spartan. Some might disagree with the important role played by INC; but the fact remains that this church can alway influence the outcome. Some can call it a cult or what; but let’s face it…it’s a very powerful and influential group. We don’t need to be fans of INC. We don’t need to admire INC. We don’t need to agree with INC’s teachings. But if INC is joining all the other groups opposing this evil woman of Malacanang, then we should thank INC for her help and decision.

  81. You said it, TongueT, there is nothing INCed in this reversal of the JdV because these crooks are simply retreating to regroup and plan more gimmicks as Anna has stated.

    JDV and his alipores had opened up the door by changing one provision of how the house votes for bills etc…Who is to say that once the massive protests are called off, tengang daga will not proceed with his killing of the constitution.

    Japan aid to RP tied to human rights

    CEBU — Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso told the Philippines Friday that it must improve human rights as a condition to receive more economic aid.
    In talks on the sidelines of a regional summit cancelled over what the Philippines said was fear of a looming Pacific storm, Aso said Japan was prepared to provide up to $1 million in new aid, a diplomat said. But Aso told his Philippine counterpart, Alberto Romulo, that while Tokyo wanted to extend more yen loans, there was concern in Japan over politically motivated killings, according to the Japanese diplomat.”In Japan, some people are extremely concerned about political killings in the Philippines, particularly the killings of leftist-oriented individuals and journalists,” Aso was quoted as saying In order for us to release more economic aid, I want the Philippines to understand the strong concerns among some people about the human rights record of the Philippines,” he said.Local human rights groups have alleged that more than 760 activists have been killed since Philippines President Gloria Arroyo came to power in 2001. The government has denied involvement in the killings, blaming many of them on factional fighting between leftist groups.

  85. TongueT:

    About the projects these crooks are using to get more porks, the problem now will be how the Great Switik is going to pay them with countries like Japan now telling her to fix her house before she can be granted another ODA package. Pag-asa lang niya ngayon iyong abuloy for the victims of the natural calamities that pass by the Philippines here and there. Inaasahan din nga niya iyong big fundings from the UN re Gamaras oil spill na hindi pa yata dumarating! Projects funded with Japanese ODA for example nabinbin kasi nakawat na ang pera ng mga ulupong diyan. Namatay na ang lider ng mga protesta, hindi pa rin natapos ang ginagawang dam sa Pangasinan that we know is funded with Japanese ODA.

    Now, the Great Switik is being asked to explain for instance the death of Jose Doton, a leader of an NGO opposed to the dam construction in Pangasinan, that a Japanese NGO unfortunately witnessed and reported to the Japanese government via direct dialogue with members of the Diet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At least, dito puede kaming mag-demand ng dialogue with our officials. Sa Pilipinas, meron pa kunong cordon sanitaire.

    JDV backs off from con-ass.
    I should be singing hallelujah about this piece of news, but the truth is I was so saddened and disappointed. Deep in me even if they railroaded it, I wished they pushed through with it. It’s not that I am advocating violence or bloody confrontation between the police/military and the people, but this event could be the turning point, momentous and decisive one. It could be the final performance of the glue and jdv. It could be the end of the line for both of them.
    Whatever the circumstances behind their backing off, sad to say, the glue outsmarted all those against the con-ass. All the events during the last several days were just a show to test the pulse and temper of the times. She knew and felt that the patience and anger of the people were heating up and about to boil, and so before it reached the boiling point, she shut off the heat, and that’s about it. That’s how this predator and scheming little devil operate. She’s a devil incarnate.
    OK, so they backed off, but don’t bet on it that they will just sit down and let this thing pass. These people are so resourceful when it comes to preservation and extending their stay in power indefinitely. They attempted to impose martial law, but the US thumbed it; they tried to sneak in the PIG, the SC busted it; and this con-ass, they backed off for fear of mass protests. What will be their next game? The PIG’s appeal for reconsideration in the SC? They said they now have the numbers in the SC, who knows, but then again, this PIG is a cousin if not a twin sister of the Con-Ass and if they insist on it, they will get the same reception from the people. So they have to embark on another plan, and we will soon find out how resourceful really are these people. It’s still a long 5 months to May election, and more than three years to 2010. Under the reign of these heartless and shameless people where their evilness and greed knows no bounds, anything can happen between now and then. Meanwhile we have to wait and see, but be on the lookout always. Don’t let the guard down.

    Pero ito ang medyo may basehan. Sa isang tip na natanggap ko, simula noong bumulaga sa taong bayan na aprub ang con-ass sa Bastusang Pambansa, na-monitor ng SMART at GLOBE ang unusual heavy traffic sa text messaging. Siempre, may tao sila roon at binigyan ng tip si GMA. Kita nila kasi ang content ng SMS. Sadness, anger and resolve to join the protest rally. Tapos nadagdagan pa ng mga announcements from CBCP, El Shaddai, JIL at ibang grupo na nagkakaisang magdaos ng isang demonstrasyon sa Luneta.

    The crowd might reach 3 million but if they will inform GMA that it’s only some 300 thousand, the usual boladas, she will not believe it this time. She’s been at the El Shaddai gatherings at alam niya. She’s not short…minded…Natakot siya. She knows the crowd will chant in unison: Gloria Resign! Gloria Resign!

    Ito, bungang isip ko lang. GMA probably called JDV and told him: Ikaw ang may pakana at pursigido sa lahat na ito. Look at. Kasi gusto mong maging Prime Minister. Sabihin mo sa kanila, CON-CON na tayo. Now na!

    The fool’s on them, a bunch of buffoon who thinks they are funny.

    You can make all the people laugh some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot make all the people laugh all the time. But wait, I’m laughing right now. I’m laughing at their funny faces for being sooooo clumsy and soooo stupid.

    Hahahahaha!!!!

    It so happens that my dog has floppy ears, but has more between the ears than the Floppy Eared One who’s gang surrounding him appeared to be nodding their heads just like the Toy Nodding Dogs in the rear windows of auto’s.
    My dog is full of tricks just like the Floppy Eared One in Congress but a regular kick up the ass gets him in line!

    De Venecia and his rapist gang have no position to make a deadline. The whole nation is against the rape of democracy by JDV and his gang. The Filipino people can make their own deadline. Pack-up shameless pigs before the fury of angry people physically kick your asses out.

    Plan C would be cheating in the May 2007 elections! Or Glue will try to enchant some of the popular opposition canditates with campaign money to assure support from them for her continued power until 2010 and maybe beyond. YOU CAN NOT TRUST A TIYANAK. ONCE A TIYANAK, WILL ALWAYS BE A TIYANAK just dressed up differently!

    So now, the House is giving the Senate 72 hours to respond to them on the con-con or con-ass? The senators must be having such fun laughing at the tengang daga. He is really out of his mind!

    ITULOY ANG MASSIVE PROTEST! DO NOT LET THESE CON ARTISTS GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING!!! THE ISSUE IS TO GET TIYANAK OUT OF HER THRONE! WILL YOU WAIT UNTIL SHE GETS HER WAY AGAIN?
    WAKE UP. NO MORE NEGOTIATIONS ON ANYTHING. BOOT HER OUT!!!!

    yeheeeeeey! nakatuwa talaga itong si jose kunehong kaalyado ni gloriang mukhang dagang ninang ni nognograles, salsalceda, langgam, pestsay, villabuwitre, cagaw at iba pang mga mukhang cash na kotongressmen at mabibining kotongreswomen. dahil sa kanilang takot na magtae bunga ng kasibaan at pagiging ganid sa kwarta’t kapangyarihan, nagmistulang diatabs ang pagkagising ng mga maimpluwensiyang pinuno ng iba’t ibang sekta!

    mga hunghang! palibhasa mga sukab na ang akala patuloy at laging makapangyayari ang kanilang kabuktutan kaya kapag nangabuko, parang mga singaw na bigla ring nawawala ang pekeng tapang kapag tinapatan ng tunay na tapang!

    ngek! dapat “nakakatuwa talaga……

    sobrang saya ko ngayong umaga sa development na ito.

  109. My pet dog is so intelligent, when she saw JDV on the TV giving the senators a deadline of 72 hrs she rolled on her back laffin and laffin. This JDV has the brains of a rocking horsr.

    Astang prime minister na pala si jdv. OK lang, mangarap siya ng gising, libre naman, pero kahit na bilyones pa ang bayad, kayang-kaya naman, di ba jose?

    De Venecia’s 72 hours deadline is like Commander-in-Thief Gloria Arroyo giving an ultimatum to People’s Republic of China to leave Spratley Islands OR ELSE…hahahahahhhhhhhhhhh!

  112. men0k men0k

    It seems the pressure is on their (administration) side now and they are trying to divert the pressure towards the Senate and the people.. He even went on calling the people, catholic church, etc to ‘pressure’ the Senate.. They are trying to portray now that the Senate is the ‘thorn’ preventing the ‘salvation’ of this country via Charter Change.

    Bet you that during these hours and for the succeeding days, administration DOGS will be having a ‘marathon session’..

    Yun pla ung pinapangako ni JDV na ‘marathon sessions’.. hehehe 😉

  113. Pakisabi kay Joe DeAmnesia, mag-con-vict na lang sila ni Great Switik. Bagay na bagay sila doon sa loob ng Muntinlupa!!!

  115. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    WHAT NOW JDV AND HIS RAPIST GANG? So, the ultimatum is just a hot air. Losers cannot make demands.

    Senators reject JDV’s ConCon proposal

    Senators on Saturday rejected the proposal of Speaker Jose de Venecia and pro-Charter change congressmen to help form a constitutional convention.

    Senate President Manuel Villar and Sen. Sergio Osmeña III was reacting to de Venecia’s statement that the House of Representatives is willing to postpone for a “few days” plans to convene a constituent assembly on Tuesday if the Senate would support the House’s moves for Charter change by pushing for a constitutional convention.

    Villar asserted that the Senate cannot be pressured into Charter change, especially without public sentiment.

    “Ang Senado ay hindi pwedeng pressurin ng ganyan. Kami ay paguusapan namin ‘yan at hindi kami naniniwala na ang pagbabago ng Constitution ay dapat madaliin nang ganito at hindi pa kami sigurado kung ano ang gusto ng ating mga mamayanan dito (The Senate cannot be pressured [into Charter Change] like this. We will talk about it and we don’t believe that Charter change can be rushed like this and we’re not even sure what the public wants),” Villar told ANC.

    Osmeña said the proposal is like adding insult to injury.

    “It’s like after somebody rapes you, he now proposes marriage. And if you don’t accept the proposal of marriage, he will threaten to rape you again,” Osmeña said.

    “We (senators) are not under the mercy, jurisdiction and thumb of the lower house,” he added.

    Malacañang, meanwhile, lauded the proposal, specifically the provision that would allow next year’s elections to push through. A constituent assembly would have cancelled the May polls and extended the terms of incumbent officials.

    “We hope that finally, through a con-con (constitutional convention) elected directly by the people, the advocacy for political and constitutional reforms can rally the support of the entire Congress and all sectors of society in a spirit of unity dedicated only to [the] best interest of the nation,” presidential political adviser Gabriel Claudio said in a statement.

    Sayang at hindi tumuloy ang Con-ass. I would rather see Yoda ang his gang be humuliated in debates and on the floor than having been blackmailed into submission. Pare-parehas ang mga ungas, all are in a hurry to save their skins. Like what the majority here suggests, tuloy ang laban. We should not be scammed into passiveness, lets continue the pressure.

    On the INC issue, they can be a clout. Remember a vote for one is a loss for another. A ten vote swing means you lose twenty.

  118. acpiccio acpiccio

    Everybody please take note that there has been no actual pressure on them yet. This is a tactical move on their part to evaluate the actual number of warm bodies that will march in the streets. One step backward, two steps forward so to speak. The protest marches has to continue. Be counted.

  119. tong_gress tong_gress

    yan din ang nasa isip ko acpiccio… con artist ang mga nasa pwesto kaya alam na nila ang mga susunod na steps nila.

    tuloy lang tayo! hwag tutulog-tulog, manatiling gising! magbantay!

    professional na mga manloloko ang mga nasa pwesto kaya ingat tayo!

    So after 72 hours, if the Senate will not cooperate with the house’s con-ass or con-con, the house will go back to what they were poised to do. IS THAT A THREAT? LET US NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE JESTERS! LET US CONTINUE WITH THE MASSIVE PROTEST! INIISAHAN LANG TAYO NI TENGANG DATA. IF WE RETREAT NOW, HE WILL CONTINUE WITH HIS ILL INTENTIONS TO PLEASE THE TIYANAK!

    Now, they’re implementing the Plan C. Actually, they have Plans A to Z. They will not stop in order to remain in power. We’ve been fooled and cheated not just twice but several times. By now, we should all be wiser. People Power 4 or Revolution is what is needed! And NOW !

    NOW IS THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE EXIT PLAN! Ellen, your article a few weeks ago on the “Exit Plan” should be re-visited. The tiyanak will be needing it. Kaya lang, I have this weird feeling that she is wiggling her way out of the check mate again. This time she may be promising humungus donations to these churches and because the majority of the church followers are very needy people, our pious people may again look the other way because it is Christmas time, a time of “giving” and “forgiving”. The generousity is much needed at this time. So, all these mass protests etc, are just threats pretty much like the 72 hour ultimatum of the tae-ng-daga to the senate. It seems like power and money are always the currencies of this administration. UNLESS WE STAND OUR GROUND-WE WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING. LET US LEARN TO SET OUR BAR A LITTLE HIGHER. LET US BE BRAVE AND FIGHT THE OPPRESSION! LET US PROTEST! DO NOT RETREAT NOW! WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
