Nagpahayag si dating Senador Francisco Tatad ng kanyang hindi pagsang-ayon sa kandidatura nina JV Ejercito, Koko Pimentel, at Alan Peter Cayetano sa pagka-senador.
Sabi ni Tatad, kung mananalo ang tatlo, na mukha namang malaki ang tsansa, parang family affair na ang Senado. Magkakaroon na ng mag-ama (Sen. Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel at Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel), magkapatid (Pia at Alan Cayetano) at magkapatid sa ama (Jinggoy at JV).
Sabi pa niya, 24 lang naman ang miyembro ng senado tapos ganyan ang sitwasyon, hindi nakakatulong sa maayos na talakayan at labag sa prisipyo ng good governance o pamamalakad ng pamahalaan na ang kapangyarihan ay dapat nakakalat sa mga Pilipino na manggaling sa iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan.
Ang ganitong sitwasyon ay nagpapatibay ng dynasty o ang paglagay ng kapangyarihan sa iilan lamang na pamilya sa bansa.
Hindi talaga maganda. Kaya lang, ang problema ay wala tayong anti-dynasty law. Siyempre hindi papasa ang ganoong batas dahil hindi boboto ang mga mambabatas sa anuman na kontra sa kanilang personal na interes.
Di ba ang nangyayari ngayon, kapag tapos na ang termino ng lalaki, ang asawa ang patakbuhin para hindi mapunta ang kapangyarihan sa ibang tao. Sila ang may orgaisasyon at may pera kaya panalo sila.
Katulad na lamang sa amin sa Las Piñas. Nang matapos ang termino ni Manny Villar bilang congressman, tumakbo siya bilang senador at ang asawa naman niyang si Cynthia ang pumalit sa kanya sa House of Representatives. Ang aming mayor na si Aguilar kapatid ni Cynthia Villar.
Ganoon rin ang sitwasyon sa mga Barbers ng Surigao del Norte.Ito ay nangyayari sa buong Pilipinas. Kapag nakahawak ng kapangyarihan, ayaw na magbitaw.
Dahil wala nga tayong batas, wala tayong magawa. Sabi nga ng ibang lider sa oposisyon, bahala na ang taumbayan.
Kina Alan Cayetano, Koko Pimentel at JV Ejercito, may advantage sila ng pangalan at organisasyon. Ang tanong na lang ay.may “K” ba sila maging senador?
Si Alan Cayetano talagang may “K”. Maliban sa matalino, may prinsipyo siya at may panindigan. Pinakita niya ito sa impeachment laban kay Arroyo at sa pag-laban sa Con-Ass.
Si Koko Pimentel hindi pa natin alam dahil ngayon lang siya papasok sa pulitika. Bar topnotcher si Koko.
Dahil hindi na tatakbo si Loi Ejercito, asawa ni Erap, kaya si JV raw ang tatakbo. Bakit ba kailangan dalawang Ejercito ang sa Senado?
Hindi ako masyadong impressed kay JV. Mayroon pa siyang isang term sa pagka-mayor sa San Juan. Sana tapusin na lang muna niya yun.
Tell you what Ellen, if the JV Ejercito is allowed to run, let him para labo labo na. Sige, pagtulungan nila si Iggy at si Mikey Horsey sa baba. Anyway, bastusan na talaga ang nangyayari/
Why bother holding elections if these family dynasties usually and almost 100% just keep passing the seats among themselves? Imagine the money saved, the cheating avoided, and the chaos and controversies averted. Then we can call the country The Kingdom of whoever is the Head of State and when it is passed down to Junior it becomes a Kingdom of Whoever jr., then they can have their own constitution, army, and let them do whatever they want, they are doing them now anyways with out let up. Maybe then, they’ll try to Govern better now that it is their own Kingdom.
Maybe then, they’ll try to Govern better now that it is their own Kingdom.
Don’t quite see it that away, Vic. As we say in French, “Chasser le naturel, il revient au galop…”
At that level, once a crook, always a crook – hard not to be cause to stay there, they gotta up the ante.
But anna, eventually the wells will dry up and they themselves will run of water to drink and subjects to rule over, don’t you think it is better for them to redeem themselves before that time? Otherwise the dynasties will be just in their sad memories. But maybe they are convinced that dynasty is as endless as the power and wealth that come with it. Imagine when you have that millions and millions, it seems endless. I can only imagine..
Vic,
What you say is how it ought to be, the moral way, but these guys don’t believe in how things ought to be unless it is their way.
As I said, at that level, once a crook always a crook – they are capable of crooking themselves (dayain ang sarili sort of) if there’s no other to crook.
Look at Gloria, coz she’s a product of great PR and marketing packagers in the likes of Billy Esposo (he revealed how they packaged his favorite political harlot, no amount of makeover can hide what she truly is, a crook of the highest order. The saying “chasser le naturel, il revient au galop” is so true.
And to protect her crookedness, she’s raising and breeding crookstoo – Mikey the gambler and if we aren’t careful, she’ll send her children to the different places in the Philippines – much like what Rothschild did to his sons – to conquer and enchant her lost kingdom.
No, these guys are un-redeemable. In my view, they ought to be guillotined to set as an example.
Cut the heads that way the body will “stop galoping!”
Good am every all!!!
Being in Naga City, no time na akong hanapin pa yong post ko weeks ago tungkol sa family affair sa senado as per observation of Gabby Claudio, the political adviser of GMA. Kinantiyawan niya ang oposision of thinking ot having a family reunion in the senate, in the same vein as what Kit Tatad said.
May karagdagan akong scenario, assuming those mentioned here will run and win:
1. Lucky Manzano will be a so lucky to have dad, Edu Manzano and dad-uncle Ralph Recto in the senate.
2. Reelected Loi Estrada will join again her son Jinggoy and Jinggoy half-brother JV Ejercito. But what if Erap will spring a surprise and he himself run? There will be husband and wife and two sons.
3. Pia Cayetano will be grinning ear to hear to see her brother Allan Peter joining her. It will be a sister and a brother team.
4. Nene Pimentel will be happy to see his bar topnotcher son, Koko, joining him in filibustering in the senate. It’s like the one time popular singing duo, Father and Son.
5. If some candidates in the opposition will be kind enough to allow Noynoy Aquino and Tessie Aquino-Oreta to be included in the ticket, there will be an aunt and a nephew.
6. Unfortunately, Bong Revilla’s brother inlaw, Bobby Jaworski did not make last time. And should Ramon Revilla has stil the staying power, it could a father, a son and a son inlaw.
7. I wonder why Sen. Biazon did not push his son Cong. Biazon of Muntinlupa for a slot in the senate. It could be another father and son.
Wala na ba akong nakalimutan?
Cut the heads that way the body will “stop galoping!”
Then I hope they are still keeping those guillotines in working condition in France just in case. But any other methods will just be fine. It will be just as final and as good as an example, but it has to be done to be an “example”.
Joeseg, listen, since you’re still in Bicol, perhaps, it would do Pinas a world of good to ask Mt Mayon for a bit of help but Gloria and all these ambitious, enchanted kingdom wannabes should be invited to a picnic at the foot of Mt Mayon – pray hard so her majestic mount would erupt and bury them in their own volcanic kingdom.
Pooh!
Pinas is becoming a helpless case by the minute (problem is the darn situation is so contagious – I am ranting about like I’m still a helpless case too now!)
Family Affair?? If that is the result of our present struggle, so be it..Ilan ba ang Arroyos and her cronies sa gobyerno? Excuse my language pero kung aso ang kalaban mo, mag-asal aso ka na rin..After all this is a dog eat dog soceity..It truly hurts but what else can I say? That unano who calls herself president is the root and cause of this gluttonic plague..Are we just gonna sit down and let her eat us alive?? Puksain ang salot..
Patalsikin na , Now Na..
Not to worry Vic! Mr Guillotin’s technology is now in the public domain, patent wise and I don’t believe I’m wrong to say that it can easily be re-manufactured, after all, it’s for a good cause.
I say “Down with their heads, the lot of them!”
An anti-dynasty law should have been in place long time ago. But the tradpols who regard congress and senate as their domains just didn’t care for the simple reason of ‘transmittal’ of positions to their sons and apos.
It’s rather too late for Tatad to take this up, election is just 3 months away. Perhaps, when the bogus president is gone, this issue should be made a priority of the well-meaning politicians.
As of now, the priority is to topple dictator Glueria. If a third force will not emerge to offer some better candidates, and the choices will only be limited to Kiko Noted Cuneta, Ralph Recto Santos, JV Ejercito and Koko Pimentel, I won’t have regrets supporting the last two names. I will not consider any names belonging to the administration side.
Ang isyu ngayon ay si Glueria at wala ng iba.
Anna
Inspite of Villafuerte, Salceda & Andaya who are close aides of GMA, Bicol votes will be a resounding defeat to ravage the administration surpassing the fury of typhoon Reming. Kahit hindi na mag-erupt ang Mayon Volcano because once it erupts, lalo na. It would mean they are for the candidates of Erap, kasi it will be erupt nang erupt..
Allow me to post this I earlier posted sa sinulid na “si Gloria na ang Isyu” which at latest count is past 380 postings aleady. Gusto ko lang dalhin ang mga nasa ibayong dagat kung ano mayroon sa kabukiran.
A few hours sleep is good enough basta nakabasa ako na ng lastest postings dito kay Ate Ellen’s blog.
Mrivera, Isabel, everybody. I’m not going anymore to Legaspi City. Hanggang dito lang ako sa Naga. Maya-maya ay muli kaming babalik sa bandang Quezon pero dadaan muna kami sa Daet. I have been in Daet so many times in the past. The town is well known as the birthplace of basketball star Atoy Co. Simula nang magkaroon ng Quirino Highway, hindi na halos ito nadadaanan going to Naga, Legaspi or Sorsogon.
Maliit na karinderia ang aking kinanan sa harap nang natuluyan kong small hotel. Mas mura at sariwa ang pagkain. Bilang almusal, nag pa-ihaw ako ng pusit at nag-order ng pritong isdang galunggong. Sa pamamagitan ng kamatis, sibuyas, konting bawang, konting toyo at sili, ginawa ko itong sawsawan sa pusit at isda. Nakakamay at taas pa ang paa ko sa bangko, sinabakan ko na ang aking pagkain. May kapeng barako na naman. Nakakatakam talaga ang ganitong pagkain na para wala kang iniintindi sa mundo. Ang kusinera ay nakangiting nakamasid sa akin habang walang humpay ang aking pagsubo. May dala pa siyang panghampas sa ilang langaw na aali-aligid na parang gusto pang makisalo sa aking pagkain.
Chi, sa sarap ng aking kinakain, pinagpapawisan ako nang husto gayung umaga pa lamang. Dahil marahil sa tadyak ng dalawang sili na nakahalo sa sawsawang kamatis. Isang paborito sa kabikulan.
Pareng Cocoy, don’t worry malayo tayo sa sinasabi mong epekto ng pagkain ng sili. Pero ito ha, nang kwentahan ako ng kusinera, ang nakain ko ay P125 at bale dalawa kami ng driver ko. It means, a little over $2.00 compared sa iyong kinalalagyan na kamo ay nagdidildil ka lang ng Mcdo.
Chow!
=
Mabait lang talaga ang mga Pinoy! Mapatawad to those who are in power kaya these guys don’t have any more respect for them.
Gloria and all these crooks know they can get away with it.
Absolutely no let up!
joeseg,
Naglalagalag ka rin lang sa Quezon at Bicol. Ang bilin sa ‘yo ni Anna ay magdasal sa Mayon na sumabog ng malakas at malibing si Glueria at ang mga ambisyoso at enchanted kingdom wannabes habang nagpipiknik.
And then, pagbalik mo sa Quezon ay magdasal ka naman sa mga mutya ng bundok Banahaw na anyayahan sa isang masaganang piesta si Glueria at mga kampon sa paanan ng bundok at saka malibing sila ng isang matinding landslide.
Pero kumain ka muna ng masarap muli bago ka magdasal at ng hindi ka mahilo, hane.
Sarap naman ng almusal mo Joeseg!
This will be my last post for today. We are about to go. Muli kong babagtasin ang kaparangan at kabundukan.
I think Ate Ellen’s bloggers have found another ally in JB Baylon, who almost exactly shares our feelings and concern in the forthcoming elections;
Look at JB Baylon wrote in his column in Malaya which I am partly quoting and what a description:
The question now is, will the Filipino people use the mid-term elections in May to show their true colors?
I urge all those who seek a government that is truly accountable at all times to the sovereign Filipino people to throw all the rascals out and elect only those deserving to be called our representatives. Surely, if Americans can use their mid-term elections to deliver a stinging message to the administration of George Bush that its policies no longer have the support of the people, we can do the same and more.
Make no mistake: the elections in May will be a fight between a people seeking accountability and a government seeking to escape it.
We have seen the true colors of this administration; the colors are a mixture of the colors of the rainbow coalition with the pot of gold at the end only for them, and the color of green for dollars, in millions, which are stashed away outside of our country far from our reach or our prying eyes.
It is time, I think, that we turned them black and blue.
Anna, you said, “Tell you what Ellen, if the JV Ejercito is allowed to run, let him para labo labo na. Sige, pagtulungan nila si Iggy at si Mikey Horsey sa baba.”
JV is running for the Senate. Iggy and Mikey are in the Lower House.
RE: Ganoon rin ang sitwasyon sa mga Barbers ng Surigao del Norte.Ito ay nangyayari sa buong Pilipinas. Kapag nakahawak ng kapangyarihan, ayaw na magbitaw.
Kapit tuko sila sa kapangyarihan dahil baka mabuko ang mga kanilang kurakutan. Masarap magwaldas ng pera ng bayan.
Yes Ellen I know that’s why I said “pagtulungan nila si Iggy at si Mikey Horsey sa baba.” Meanigng lower house. Pwede naman di ba?
Yes Ellen I know that’s why I said “pagtulungan nila si Iggy at si Mikey Horsey sa baba.” Meanigng lower house. Pwede naman di ba?

Kung tatakbo ako susuportahan niyo ba ako? Kaya lang wala akong one year residency sa atin. Ano kaya ang bagay sa akin, congressman o senator?
Ok lang maski ano artsee, huwag lang tongressman or senatong or tongcilor…
Basta ba ipapangako mo na ihahampas mo si Glueria sa pader ng Korte ay OK lang artsee.
Hahahah! “Basta ba ipapangako mo na ihahampas mo si Glueria ”
Artsee, if you can’t make her hampas to the pader, hampasin mo na lang siya ng laptap mo, ok ba?
Ngayon pa lang naghahanap na ako ng staff ko. Sinong gustong mag-apply? Ang adviser sarado na kasi kukunin ko si Ate Ellen. Kailangan ko ng Chief Security agad. Mang Rivera, Apoy at kung sinong may background sa military puwede.
Lumang tugtugin na yang ‘Family Affair’. Di ba sa lahat ng sulok ng ‘pinas me mga political dynasties. Grin and bear it, na lang, maliban kung may lilitaw na Dagohoy o Diego Silang. Ano ang suggestion ni Tatad para matigil ang family affair? //Don Quixote
Artsee:Tatakbo ka na lang ng Gobernador sa Ilocos Sur at itali mo si Singsin sa tabakuhan.
chi Says:

……….
Tatad is tadtad na for all purposes. The elections you anticipate ay luto na for all purposes. And your wish for the bogus to be gone will be a long time coming. Pinoys would rather wait for the guava to fall off the tree, instead of picking it off. Elections will not topple bansot. On the contrary, because they are rigged, it will fortify bansot’s stranglehold on power.
/Don Quixote
Kit Tatad is sour graping by failing to be included in the opposition ticket. Nag-iingay para mapansin. But anything can happen between now and deadline in February. Some are nuisance candidates. Pero ang opposition halos complete na. Ang nahihirapan iyon administration. So far, it’s only Mike Defensor who’s sure.
Kajotee:
Re: Pinoy would rather wait for the guava to fell of the tree:
That’s a pre stone Juan Tamad era. Although Johnny come lately this time he has a tall ladder to pick it up to the highest branches.He need to cut the whole tree if he has too,just pick the fruits that belong to his son.
We have a various groups who are working hand in hand to derail Gloria’s minions this time.She could not fool the pinoy anymore with her golds and goons.The opposition has a large barrel of cannon pointing at her direction from the highest ocean up to Mt.Makiling,she could not cling to her greed and power no more.One by one she’s gonna’ has a great fall.
That’s a defeatist attitude Don Quixote, and I don’t accept defeat so easily nor bow to tomorrow’s what-might-be just because of Glueria’s pattern of election cheating.
It might be that Glueria seems to win on all sides, but it’s precisely the reason why we, here in this very blog, keep on fighting!
let’s beat the evil one in her own game, and let’s give her a dose of her own poison. at the end of the day, it is the sovereign filipino people who will decide kung saan papunta ang politika ng bansa. at the moment, si gloria ang isyu. tanggalin muna natin itong sumpa sa ating lipi.
Isabel,
Sinong me sabi na merong sumpa ang ating lipi? Wala akong alam na ganyan ah. Ang alam ko ay meron lang kasumpa-sumpa na nilalang, the evil woman Pidal. Sabi ni Cocoy, derail na siya and minions this time. Agree!
Kabayang Chi, baka ang ibig sabihin ni Ka Isabel si Arroyo ang sumpa sa atin ng Diyos. Hangga’t hindi matutong magbalik loob sa Diyos ang mga tao, mananatili ang sumpa which means Arroyo shall stay. Strong words but come to think of it, immoralities are rampant these days. Society’s evil is getting worse. Lalong lumalala ang mga kasalanan ng tao.
Family Affair sa Senado?
Nagpapatawa ba si Senador Francisco Tatad, Dapat ang sitahin niya ang nasa Malakanyang dahil sila ang nauna at mas matindi pa nandyan na ang PAMILYA SINUNGALING, PAMILYA MAGNANAKAW, PAMILYA NG MANDARAYA, PAMILYA NG MGA GANID SA KATUNGKULAN, PAMILYA NG JUETENG LORD!
Senador Francisco Tatad kayo po ay ginagalang ko. Kung sina Ejercito, Pimentel, Cayetano ay manalo iyan ay gusto ng taong bayan.
Hindi kagaya sa Malakanyang basta na lang mag pasumpa kahit hindi karapat dapat. NOTED YAN! NOTED YAN! MGA GARAPAL!
“JUAN DELA CRUZ KAILAN BA MATATAPOS ANG PAGHIHIRAP MO!”
manay chi,
tayo ang gumawa ng sumpa, we created this evil woman, kasama na dito ang mga nag people power sa edsa, nagmartsa sa mendiola at yung mga nanood lang at walang pakialam. ngayon gising na tayo sa katotohanan, kinikilala natin ang ating pagkakamali, at tayo’y nagtutuwid. only we, the people, can make the final blow to smash the evil one into smithereens and back into nothingness. yes, mandirigma, ito na nga ang pagbabalik loob sa diyos, but i don’t believe isinumpa tayo ng diyos, tayo ang gumagawa ng ating langit at impyerno (meron bang in-between?).
hehehe! baka ma-off topic tayo nito ahh.
Ka Joeseg,
Pinatay mo ako sa inggit, wala bang ginataang crabs at laeng na nagmamantika sa gata. Naway nabusog ka, kausapin ko dito ang kaibigan kung bicolana na mag luto ng BICOL EXPRESS kaya lang walang siling labuyo dito, Buti naman dahil hindi ko kayang kainin pag sobrang anghang 😀
Isabel:
Panignit ba kamo.Itanong mo kay Pareng Joe at kay Chi kasi ang pagkakaalam ko isinagasa ni Chi iyong bisaklat na paningit ni pare ko ayun,nagtatakbo si Chi sa payang payang.
joeseg: 7-19am
I find JB Baylon has good strong opinions when writing about the administration, maybe he visits this blog for ideas (smile).
Isabel,
Oh, ganoon ba? Pero hindi ako kasama na gumawa kay Glueria dahil buhat ng iyan ay ipakilala ni Cory sa tao ay ni hindi ko iyan sinulyapan. In other words, talagang ayaw ko s’ya dahil bistado ko ang kawalanghiyaan ng babaeng ‘yan nasa Trade Dept pa. In other words, gising na ako bago pa nag-martsa ang tao sa Edsa para kay Glueria, at hindi ako kasamang sumuporta sa kanya.
Kaya lang, humahanap ang tao ng inaakala nilang mabuting lider, nagoyo nga lang sila ni Glueria. Walang dapat sisihin kahit na ang mga sarili sa mga kasalanang pinaggagawa ng bogus na pangulo. Hindi masama ang maghanap ng tamang lider. Ang masama ay hindi itumpak ang pagkakamali.
chi Says:
That’s a defeatist attitude Don Quixote …
No, Chi. On the contrary those are facts. Waiting for bansot to resign is the same as waiting for the guava to fall. Juan is not only lazy, he is scared to take on the bogus president. No criminal should be running around free and going to Switzerland with her loot. Truth can be so glaring it hurts the eye.
manay chi,
sayang nga hindi pa uso ang blogging noong 2001. sana nakilatis ng husto at nabuking yang arroyo na yan. sa totoo lang, nagsisisi ako, pero kailangan mag move on, at itama ang naging kamalian.
cocoy Says:

Cocoy, rhetoric has never brought the wall down except the wall of Jericho. When pinoys muster the nerve to act and shout in unison against bansot, that will be the day when bansot falls. Until then, bansot will loot the country at will.
Who’s waiting for Glueria to resign? Not the bloggers here.
Baka ang grupo ni Mrs. Aquino.

For me, Ellen, Anna, the Great Creep has always been an issue from day one she grabbed the presidency, and all for her vanity and greed!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Grabe road trip ni joeseg, kainggit mga bogtsi mo diyan kabayan. Ingat lang sa mga kampon ni gloria diyan, baka maamuyan ka, buntutan ka na.
Kit Tatad is being self righteous, aside from maybe yes sour graping. Puwede rin naman na siya na mismo ang nagpalabas ng komentong ito, dahil pulos sa oposisyon ang sangkot na mga kandidato, tulad nina JV Ejercito, Koko Pimentel, at Allan Peter Cayetano. Kasi tiyak naman na isa ito sa ipupukol na isyu ng grupo ni gloria kapag gumulong na ang election caravan na kapalit ng cha-cha express ni jdv (BWAHAHAHA!). Pero wala tayong magagawa kung sakaling lumusot ang mga kandidatong ito na mayroon nang kamag-anak na nakapuwesto sa Senado, basta ba manalo sila ng fair and square, at hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga mahika ng mga tulad ni garcillano, okey na rin. Tutal kita naman natin na pumupuwesto rin ang mga pamilya pidal, tulad ng isa pang supling ng mag-asawang itim na tiyanak at balyenang ganid na si dato arroyo, para i-reinforce ang kaniyang utol at angkol na si mikey at iggy na tiyak na mababalik sa Tongresso. Yan ang pulitika sa ating bayan, makulay at samu’t sari, walang inilayo sa pagkaing chopsuey. At sa katunayan, para sa akin ay mas may “K” pa nga si Allan Peter Cayetano na maging senador kaysa sa kaniyang Ate. Pero ang grupo ni gloria, ang nakakatawa, dahil pilit nilang binubuwag ang Senado, pero ngayon sasali sila upang masubok pasukin ang nasabing Institusyon. Isinuka pero kinain din, yan si gloria….aw! aw!
spartan,
si gloria kinakain ang sariling suka. yang ang talagang yikes! kakadiri.
kejotee:
You now belong to the large barrel of cannon.Our cries,grief,frustration begin in here.This is the group I am telling you working hand in hand.Don’t you want to be one? This blog where you belong now is universal,more than millions have read our lines and counting worldwide.Yes,one by one she’s gonna’ have a great fall.
We are the instrument and the trigerring point.
Kaya ayaw ni Tatad ang family affair or political dynasty dahil sa siya ay laos na.Huwag niyang mamaliitin si Koko Pimentel at Allan Cayetano.Si Koko ay isang bar topnotcher and being the son of Nene the senator.If Koko win he can work hand in hand with his father,he won’t have hard time to know the pros and cons unlike some senators we voted on the seat they only knew where the restroom and the exit door.I rather want to see my tax money goes to this family dynasties as whom you called because they have a good family track record than to vote for any stranger whom I don’t know.
Tatad must refrain from talking beacuase his old good days is over.Koko and Allan are the young blood in the arena.Of course they will do better because their future carrier is at stakes.
it says in the latest newsbreak article that loi is reconsidering her move not to run again:
http://www.newsbreak.com.ph/newsbreak/story.asp?ID=1108
that would be good news.
hindi lang naman sa senado may mga dynasty.sa mga probinsya man at mga syudad.kung lahat sana ay panay mabuting politiko ay ok lang, pero karamihan naman ay panay magnanakaw. parang hindi importante sa pinoy na botante ang quality ng mga kandidato, parang ang importante ay ang may pangalan na, kahit masamang pangalan o mabuti.sa palagay ko lang ay malaki rin ang pagkukulang ng media sa pagdadala ng balita sa mga nasa probinsya.
Spartan Says: “Pero ang grupo ni gloria, ang nakakatawa, dahil pilit nilang binubuwag ang Senado, pero ngayon sasali sila upang masubok pasukin ang nasabing Institusyon. Isinuka pero kinain din, yan si gloria….aw! aw! ”
ano ‘yun, aso? kumakain ng sariling suka? ngek!
spartan, isabel, kadiri nga. ‘yan ang klase ng asong mukhang inaalmoranas. mukhang poodle na laos.
norpil:
noong 80’s na bago bumagsak si Marcos, nakikita at nababasa ko ang mga placards sa rally ng Anti-Marcos ang ganito:
DOWN WITH MARCOS DYNASTY
pati pa nga si Alexis Carrington(Joan Collins) na isa sa mga cast ng “Dynasty” ay itinatapat kay Imelda.
Pero ngayon iba na! Kung sino sino ang mga sumigaw noon ng ibagsak ang daynastiyang Marcos ay sila pala ang magtatayo?
Itinuturing nilang mga BOTANG ang mga nasasakupan nila – kakahiya!
Walang ipinagkaiba dyan sa amin sa Mandaluyong. Mayor at Congresman nagpapalitan lang.
Ang pinakamagandang maibibigay na legacy nila dyan ay maiangat ang kamalayan ng bawat botante na ang elective post ay hindi exclusive sa iisang grupo lamang.
Lumalabas tuloy na may probinsya rin pala sa Kamaynilaan!
nelbar: agree ako sa iyo diyan.ito talaga ang nakakainis. palit ng palit pero ang labas panibagong dynasty din.kung sino ang humihiyaw ngayon ay baka naman may balak din sila ng panibagong dynasty.pero sana naman may lumabas na mahusay sa kanila.
Ellen: Again with your permission, I would like to let you and your readers and visitors knew that Janice Del Rosario, was arrested last night, Jan. 15 and is detained for deportation to the Philippines. Her husband is still at large. We can thanks the Toronto Star for the Publication of the story that led to the tips and a speedy arrest. She was already under Canada Wide Arrest for failure to present herself for deportation. I just hope that she will be prosecuted fairly and justly within reasonable time over there.. for details you may check Today’s Torstar Front Page: http://www.thestar.com/News/article/171503
Again thank you and may this be a lesson to others…
matanong lang po :
meron po ba tayong Anti-Dynasty Law?
My post seemed not getting in. Give it another try.
Ellen,
Follow up the Janice Del Rosario case, (wanted for fraud in the Philippines and Canada), She Was arrested last night.
http://www.thestar.com/News/article/171503
Her Husband Kaye still at large. She is under detention, pending executing outstanding deportation order and she is also wanted by the Philippines Authorities for Fraud.
Hope she will be justly tried for her alleged crimes over there within reasonable time if ever she won’t contest the order, again on the ground that she may not get a fair trial over there. Now that would be another delays, just like the Pacificador extradition case which he eventually won for the same reason. But this woman if she choose to stay will also be tried for frauds here, but the punishment for fraud here is so lenient and she may get only less than two year for that Huge scams..
Loi not running for reelection? I second the motion. The former First Lady can do better doing her charity as a medical doctor. She is better at that than meddle in dirty politics.
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
OK lang kung ang mga anak at apo ng mga kilalang pangalan sa pulitika ay mahalal, basta magtrabaho lang sila at magsilbi sa mga mamamayan. Hindi naman sila ang kanilang ama. Kung palpak e di humanap muli ng kapalit. Ang mahalaga lang ay maging mature ang mga voters.
ystakei, sino’ng patatalsikin ngayon, si dra loi o ang baliw na si gloria? he he he heh!
Kabayang Spartan at Cocoy, what Tatad said about “Family Affair” was okay except that it was done in bad taste. Bilang isang taga-opposition, hindi niya dapat sinabi iyon. Ang mga natatamaan mga kasama niya sa opposition tulad nina Estrada, Pimentel at Cayetano. He mentioned it at a time when he was not included in the ticket. Kung sa bagay kung general statement iyon, pati na ang kampo ng administration ay tinamaan. The Arroyos, Lapids and other families in many provinces that are controlled by the same family names for years. I personally think Tatad is a better politician and legislature than many of those right now. Medyo consistent din naman ang loyalty niya kay Erap at opposition. Malas lang niya kasi talagang marami ang gustong sumama sa ticket ng opposition. Si Goma nga nagwawala na.
Yuko says “For me, Ellen, Anna, the Great Creep has always been an issue from day one she grabbed the presidency,”
Absolutely, utterly, totally, completely agree!
I absolutely agree too. Arroyo has been the issue from day one. For almost six years of her stolen presidency, look at what she has done? Siya lang ang numero unong problema ng bayan. Siya ang salot ng bayan.
Look at what Malacanang and this government did a few days or a day before the filing of candidates started. Ayon sa batas, bawal ang mag-appoint o maglipat ng mga tauhan kapag campaign or election period na. Pero ang ginawa naman ng Malacanang, pinalitan ang mga Comelec officials sa province, mga PNP officials pati na ang maraming NBI officials. Tapos, sinuspendi ang mga lokal officials na kaaway ng Malacanang tulad nitong Governor ng Iloilo. Now tell me, do you still ask why Puno was appointed as DILG Secretary? He was given that post precisely for this purpose. Expect more actions from this Puno before the day of the election and even after. Hindi lang isang magaling na political operator si Puno, iyan ang terminator ni Arroyo.
We hate these dynasties because we have seen that they are at all beneficial except in cases when the children are brought up right and the head of clan is not corrupt as in the case of the Tanadas, but how do you teach, especially those in the provinces, to be wiser not to vote for those who are known to be crooks and have been there only to enrich themselves as in the case of the Macapagals, etc.?
I could not help raise an eyebrow in fact listening to the CNN interview with Imelda Marcos where she claimed that Filipinos were mostly literate and highly educated. What she does not seem to realize is that there are a lot many Filipinos out there who cannot read and write, and a lot many children being pulled out from school by the Great Pimp’s lure of overseas jobs as in the case of the 13-year-old being recruited to fill up jobs in bars and clubs in Korea and even still in Japan where they are now banned. Now, how do you teach these kids not to support and vote for these crooks when they can vote?
Huwag na ninyo munang pansinin si Tatad. Let him cry and heal his wounds. Masakit kasing di maisali sa ticket na ang kaibigan mo ang naglilista. Ganyan din ang mga taga-Reporma at Aksiyon Demokratiko basahin ninyo sila Jay Sonza, Batas Mauricio, atbp, lahat umiiyak.
Pero kailangan. Dahil mas mahalaga ang sakripisyo muna para maabot ang ninanais. Kung kaya nating gawin, kumbinsihin natin yung mga hindi mapipili na isantabi na yang ideya ng Thrid Force na yan. Isang malaking pagtataksil kung tutoong oposisyon sila na sumali sa isang third force.
Nag-uumapaw ang kwarta ng mga demonyo, papunta pa ng Switzerland, kayang-kayang ipantustos sa gastusin ng kung anong grupong gustong mag-third force, fourth force, hanggang tenth force. Ang layunin lang naman niyan e hati-hatiin ang mga boto nating kalaban ng mga Baboy.
Kung ako ang masusunod, gagamitin ko ang magandang pangalan at popularidad ng mga hindi nakasali sa tiket ng Senado upang ibaling ang kanilang atensiyon sa Kongreso, bilang kandidato man o kahit taga-endorso lang.
Mas kailangan nating manalo sa Batasan. Pag-isipan sana nila iyan. At huwag nang siraan pa sa media ang ginagawa ng UNO.
Mandirigma:What our country need is a complete overhual.We need to replace those malfunctioning old parts,the trapos,they’ve been in there since Marcos time.What have they done?Maybe,fatten the bank account.
We need idealistics young blood to lift the hope of our generation.Koko,Chiz and Allan are the three intelligent individual who deserve the seat in the senate.Tatad–a question mark.
Ka Cocoy, I prefer a mixture of old and new. The new learn from the old’s experience while the old learn from the new ones’ new ideas. The bottom line is, kaya ba nila? Kung kaya at may pagmamahal sa bayan, bakit hindi?
Mandirigma: This are my 3 bets right now,–Koko,Allan and Chiz.Any potential candidate you can suggest you are more welcome my friend and I will do some research about them.Then we can negotiate,is that a fair deal for you?
Tongue T,
Sa totoo lang ang sakit ng ulo ni Binay, et al in trying to get the right people to include in the Opposition slot. Ang hirap kasi sa kanila, hindi nila tanggihan iyong mga balimbing na pagulong-gulong kung saan akala nila malakas. Filipino style talaga! Diyan sila binabanatan noong sanay na sanay sa paninwitik! Mahirap talaga ang pinalalaking walang mga prinsipyong matino! Madaling malito.
BTW, my condolence to Trinidad. Kung ako sa kaniya, idedemanda ko si Gongonzales for abuse, etc. lalo na hindi pala confirmed to serve. Bakit hindi nagrereklamo ang mga pilipino diyan? Dapat diyan kumikilos ang mga miyembro ng mga bar association to stop these abuses and for the lack of the rule of law.
Nakakaawa talaga especially when I compare the situation there with our situation here in Japan. Kailangan talaga ipairal sa mga pilipino na i-memorize nila ang kanilang Constitution para alam nila ang kanilang mga karapatan.
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
To Jay Sonza, Batas and others… i think they have a better chance if they run for a House seat in their districts.
Ang ayaw ko lang kay Jay Sonza masyadong maitim. Kapag sa gabi ang kampanya baka hindi siya makita ng mga tao. Pero oks si Jay.
Exactly, John. I’ve always advocated Orbos’ Politics of Sacrifice as the paragon of virtues which candidates should possess. In terms of strategy, it’s always wise to put in there people the voters would actually vote for high on list. In the end, it will be a balancing act of these criteria by the selectors who must decide who makes the cut.
In the Phils., winnability had always been given more weight than idealistic virtues, especially if you are pitted against a dirty opponent who’s got the 3 G’s: Gambling Lords, Generals and Garci. We can talk about setting moral standards for candidates and other goody-goodies for other elections. Not this one.
It’s tough for the opposition hopefuls who are straight and have unblemished reputations but they must give way for those who stand a better chance.
The local posts, that of congressman especially, are as important, or even more important, in achieving change in this dysfunctional society of ours. We need more good men in local positions, than we do nationally. What bothers me now is that the opposition seems to be treating the House race very lightly when it requires equally critical attention.
I can only assume that the opposition candidates in the local arena think they are up against a well-oiled cheating machine, not to mention a campaign chest backed by the national treasury, and that is what makes them hope for inclusion in the Opposition’s senatoriables list. Locally, they may have to source their funds by themselves if not exclusively from their own pockets.
But change has its price. It will not be delivered on a silver platter for the easy taking. Sacrifices, hard work, sincerity, and yes, money and logistics are inevitable.
Maybe just what the country needs after all to take us out of this shithole we’ve been in for too long we’ve become immune to the stench.
Dapat ilagay sa Orbosman si Oscar Orbos. Sayang siya. Naorbos ang pera niya sa election noon.
artsee, di ba si Orbos ay dating congressman? I’m not a political person kaya medyo kulang ako sa kaalaman kung anu-ano ang pinaggagawa ng mga ito. Gumising lang ako ng boluntaryo ng mandaya sa eleksyon ang tianak. Di ko malunok ang mga mandaraya, mandurugas, sinungaling at pangit!
If I may bug in Kabayang Chi, I don’t remember Orbos being a Congressman. Ang natatandaan ko naging cabinet member ni Cory Aquino noon. Compared to others, medyo disente naman itong si Orbos.
Joeseg asked:
“7. I wonder why Sen. Biazon did not push his son Cong. Biazon of Muntinlupa for a slot in the senate. It could be another father and son.”
Having been mentioned in this thread, I would like to answer his question:
1. Sen. Biazon does not and cannot push Cong. Biazon towards anything (as far as politics and career choices are concerned). We have always been independent of each other in making decisions although we do consult each other for advice and opinions.
When I decided to run for a seat in congress, he did not have anything to do with that decision.
2. Although I came in from 11th to 17th place in both the SWS and Pulse Asia surveys, it was not enough to make me decide to run. The very issue of the senate becoming a “family affair” is the major reason. Two Biazons in the Senate is untenable.
3. I feel that I need more experience than two terms in COngress to run for the senate (although aside from the two terms in congress, I served as Chief of Staff for Senator Biazon during his 1992-1995 and 1998-2001 terms and Chief Legislative Officer for Sen.Serge Osmeña during his 1995-1998 term.)
