Dirty tricks laban kay Alan Cayetano

May kasabihan tayo na wala namang magtitiyaga magpukol na bato sa isang puno na hindi hitik ng bunga.

‘Yan ngayon ang nangyayari kay Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano ng Taguig-Pateros na kasama sa senatorial tiket ng United Opposition.

Itong mga nakaraang linggo, dalawang mga pekeng isyu ang ibinalibag kay Alan. Isa ay ang kanyang pagsolicit raw ng kontribusyon . Noong isang araw naman, may napadala ng pekeng fax message sa mga diyaryo na nagwi-withdraw na raw niya ang kanyang kandidatura sa pagka-senador dahil dadayain lang naman daw siya.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit kumagat ang isang diyaryo at halatang-halata namang peke. Biro mo sa internet café nanggaling ang e-mail.

Naka-usap naming si Alan kahapon at pinabulaanan niya ang mga kumakalat na paninira sa kanya. Sabi niya mukhang bising-bisi ang dirty tricks department ng isang makapangyarihan na mama diyan sa tabi ng Pasig river.

“Sa awa ng Diyos, makikita ng taumbayan ang masama nilang gawain,”sabi ni Alan.

Sabi pa ni Alan, totoong problema ang dayaan sa eleksyon nitong Mayo dahil siyempre gain lahat ng Malacañang na panalunin ang kanilang kandidato kahit isinusuka na sila mga tao. At magagawa lamang nila ‘yan sa pandaraya.

“Kung dayaan ang problema, lalo ko pang pag-iibayuhin ang aking kandidatura para sa senado para mabigyan ng lunas itong problema,” sabi ni Alan.

Sino naman kaya ang may motibo na maghaharang ng pagka-senador ni Alan?

Sino ba ang galit na galit kay Alan? Sino ba ang nag-sampa ng libel suit kay Alan? Sino ba ang gustong ipa-expel si Alan sa Kongreso. Di ba noong hearing noong isang buwan, nagmura pa?

At bakit nga ba galit itong taong ito kay Alan? Dahil kaya sa expose ni Alan tungkol sa $500 milyon na deposito sa isang German bank? At paano naman nagkaroon ng ganito karaming pera itong taong ito?

May nagpa-kumisyon ng survey at tiningnan ang popularity ng mga personalidad sa Pilipinas. Si Alan ay plus 33. Mataas yun. Ang isa sa pinakamababa, mas mababa pa kay Gloria Arroyo na minus 13 yata ay si Mike Arroyo na ang rating ay minus 41.

Kapag plus, mas marami ang may gusto sa iyo kaysa yung mga ayaw. Kapag minus naman, mas marami ang galit sa yo kaysa yung may gusto.

Alam nitong galit kay Alan na walang naniniwala sa kanya. Kaya dirty tricks na lang.

  1. Umpisa na ang babuyan, ngunit kanino nga ba maaaring manggaling ang ganitong paninira? Sa mga kabastusang ipinakita ng mga naghahariharian sa Malakanyang, wala ngang ibang puwedeng gumawa nito kundi ang pamilyang magnanakaw. Wala nga namang puwedeng itapat ang mga Arroyo kay Cayetano. Kaya imbes na labanang patas, babuyan nalang.

  2. Hahahah! “Ang isa sa pinakamababa, mas mababa pa kay Gloria Arroyo na minus 13 yata ay si Mike Arroyo na ang rating ay minus 41.”

    Anong klaseng mga ratings yan? Parang kaning baboy!

    Maski baboy mahihiya kung ang veterinary rating niya bago katayin ay negative! Itong si Fatso at ang asawan niyang unano na may suot na flippers permanently, makapal pa sa hippopotamus ang balat!

    Mahiya na sila!

  3. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Sino ba? A very good question indeed, which a 5 year old Pinoy could immediately give the name, with matching description pa: Di, walang iba kundi ang giant, fat Unggoy, who lives by the side of the stinking river, together with his very, very ugly dwarfy wife! Got the Clue? Am sure…my other co-bloggers will have much better description! Hala bira na mga kasama, inuumpisahan na nilang batuhin si Cayetano!

  4. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Hindi pala Unggoy, kundi Gorilla! Baboy na Gorilla pa! Ano Anna, pakiulit nga ang negative rating? Di ba pag negative na…kahit mga daga..umiiwas kasi sama-sama na rin silang mamamatay, di ba? It’s good to live yata with a healthy, positve rating! Sabi suguro ng mga daga…Wise kami oy!…

  5. Syempre LAKAS-CMD ang mastermind ng lahat ng yan!

    Tapos me pronouncement pa si Migs Zubiri na makakalandslide raw ang Lakas sa senatorial election! One way to get things headway the Lakas way is to destroy their opponents!

  6. chi chi

    Anna,

    I love it when you post in your mother tongue. Ang lutong. “Parang kaning baboy” ang ratings ng mag-asawang Pidal. Ano pa ang masasabi ko kundi oras na naman ng babuyan!

    Sa pagkakataong ito ay matatalo sila sa ngasaban, kung palaging bantay-bahay ang mga opposition.

  7. fearlesswarrior fearlesswarrior

    Wala pong may sabing naniniwala sa mga balita laban kay Alan Cayetano lalo na ang mga kasama dito. If there was or were some reports posted in this blog, those were obtained from news reports. In my case, I posted one article taken from Abante, a known anti-Arroyo and pro-opposition paper. Let’s keep an open mind on all issues and consider other possibilities. May mga bagay-bagay na hindi natin gusto at inaasahan pero nangyayari. In politics, anything could happen. Marami pa po mangyayari between now and election day. Even after the election, unexpected things do happen. Sinong mag-aakala na ganyan ka grabeng dayaan ang nangyari noon 2004 election. Alam natin na masamang tao si Arroyo pero sinong mag-aakalang ganoon siya kasama? Manliliit si Satanas kung ikumpara kay Arroyo.

    If I may quote Mr. William M. Esposo in his AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR column (The Philippine Star 01/23/2007), where the title of his article is “Herr Himmler is alive and at the DILG!”:

    “Let’s face it. In this era of the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo regime, we cannot complain about democracy, decency, fairness, truth and justice. There is simply NONE!”

    Dirty tricks has always been GLORIA’s game plan from Day 1 ! Cayetano is also her target.

  9. Chabeli Chabeli

    “..mas mababa pa kay Gloria Arroyo na minus 13 yata ay si Mike Arroyo na ang rating ay minus 41.”

    GLORIA’s -13 trust rating should put her in the HATED list.

    MIKE ARROYO’s -41 trust rating, should put him a notch higher-in the DISGUSTING list !

    In my opinion, the negative trust ratings the duo have is proof that the Filipinos LOATHE them. They are FAR WORSE than BASUREROS ! Throwing them at Smokey Mountain would be an insult to the dumping ground.

    Speaking of dirty tricks, I want to share with you a very touching and inspiring TV documentary that I recently watched entitled “Megumi Yokota Story”. It was about the abduction of this young Japanese girl by the North Korea agents that attracted worlwide media attention. Marami daw Japanese ang na-kidnap ng North Korea pero walang magawa ang Japanese government. North Korea used dirty tricks to get what they wanted. What angered the Japanese people and the victims’ families was despite Nokor’s activities, the Japanese government still sent rice to aid North Korea. Ang sagot naman ng taga-North Korea, ginawa lang naman nila ang ginawa ng Japan 60 years ago. Ganitong gantihan ang dahilan kung bakit hindi magkaisa ang mga bansa. If this is how countries treat one another, how can there be peace?

  11. chi chi

    Itong si Pigyur Pidal, hindi na lang magpasalamat kay Allan C at hindi natuluyang sumambulat ang kanyang matabang puso!

    Chabeli said “Throwing them at Smokey Mountain would be an insult to the dumping ground.”

    Ay higit na lason ang mangyayari doon kapag itinapon ang mag-asawang Pidal. Tatanggihan sila ng mga bacteria sa smokey mountain dahil sa baba ng kanilang rating!

    The dirty tricks have to end somewhere. “Electionering” as we know it as violating election rules has been going on and on, and the body, the Comelec empowered to clean up the mess is not doing anything. First the Newspaper who published the misleading or false story, would have to explain their side to the Comelec and be fined for publishing a false articles and can even be sued by the injured party. But usually a sincere apology by the paper and the measures taken that the same won’t happen again will be suffecient. The comelec or even the Police authorities can not let one incident go, because it will be followed by more. It still a long campaign. The campaign is too long. We can conduct election to the maximum of 45 days and sometimes lesser after the writ was granted. Long campaign, more dirty tricks…

  13. fearlesswarrior fearlesswarrior

    If the opposition ticket finally comes out with a line-up with candidates who are controversial and unacceptable to us, then all we can do is vote those who we like and dump those we don’t like. Kapag matalo ang mga tulad ni Pangilinan at Recto despite being included in the opposition ticket, di lalabas na talagang ayaw sa kanila ng mga tao. During the campaign when they are on stage, people can BOO them like what they did to Arroyo in concert.
    Iyan lang po ang magagawa natin. Nauunawaan ko din na ipit na ipit si Presidente Erap ngayon. He can’t please everyone.

  14. luzviminda luzviminda

    fearless,
    Sina “Noted” Pangilinan, Recto, Lacson, Angara, Villar, Joker ay bumubuo ng “Third Force”. Meaning, they do not want to be identified with the opposition. Meaning again, na maypagka-“alanganin” itong grupong ito. Wish ko lang na MATALO itong mga AHAS AT BALIMBINGIN NA MGA ITO!!! BASTA AKO, STRAIGHT UNITED OPPOSITION (UNO), Para IPAKITA NA I AM AGAINST THE BULOK ARROYO ADMINISTRATION and HER COHORTS AND CONSPIRATORS!!!

  15. luzviminda luzviminda

    Vote straight United Opposition (UNO)!

  16. luzviminda — Ndi kasama si Lacson sa “Third Force”, mas lalong ndi pwedeng ipagsama sna Angarapog at si Lacson. And while Angara belied na part sya ng UNO, si Lacson naman proud na nasa UNO.

  17. fearlesswarrior fearlesswarrior

    Kabayang Luz, kumalas na sa partido ni Angara sina Sotto at Tessie Oreta at sumama na sila kina Danding ng NPC. That’s the latest. Hindi po rumor iyan. Noon pang gustong iwanan ng dalawa si Angara sa sabotaheng ginawa niya sa FPJ camp noon. So, Senator Ping Lacson was proven right in his feud with Angara. Si Angara pala ang salbahe at pakawala ng Malacanang sa opposition. Sayang siya. Tumanda siyang paurong. Sana huwag gumaya si Enrile na napakatahimik din ngayon. Kapag nagkataon ay silang tatlo na ang matandang balimbing (Santiago, Angara at Enrile). Si Santiago hindi naman katandaan but she’s suffering from third menopause (not second). That explains her temper and combative mood.

  18. luzviminda luzviminda

    1) Ahas na PANGILINAN- Dahil alam naman natin kung bakit tinawag siyang Mr “NOTED” nung canvassing sa Congress.

    2) Ahas na VILLAR – dahil siya ang Speaker of the House nuong mabilis na railroad na boto para sa impeachment ni Erap.

    3) Ahas na LACSON – dahil sa hindi niya pag-atras at pagbibigay daan sa kanditatura ni FPJ para sa isang united opposition. Balita nga na kinausap siya ni Gloria kapalit ang pagtahimik ng Kuratong case laban sa kanya at ituloy ang pagtakbo, para mahati ang boto at mapadali ang pandaraya nila kay FPJ.

    4) Ahas na JOKER Arroyo- apelyido pa lang nakakadiskumpiyado na. At di ba isa siya sa mga “walk-out” boys nuong impeachment ni Erap na halata namang scripted na nila. He “walked-out” in his duty at that time.

    5) Ahas na RECTO – Tahimik lang kunyari itong ahas na ito na nagtatago sa palda ni Ate Vi. Pero pag botohan na sa Senado ay pihadong proGloria ang boto niya. At isa ito sa nakinabang sa dayaan sa 2004 eleksiyon.

    6) Ahas na Angara – kunyari ay oposisyon pero tumatrabaho ng pailalim at nakikipag-secret deal sa Gloria admnistration.

    KAYA VOTE STRAIGHT UNITED OPPOSITION!!!!UNO!!!UNO!!!UNO!!!UNO!!!UNO!!!UNO!!!

  19. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Joeseg,
    Approved sa akin ang idea mo. Tama ang Boo Brigade for Gloria! Mangangampanya talaga ako doon sa amin! Lightning (ang English word)) gid ini ya mo!

  20. luzviminda luzviminda

    Sa case ni Lacson, I think na medyo tinabangan na rin si Erap sa kanya dahil nga sa hindi niya pag-give-way sa kandidatura ni FPJ na naging isa sa dahilan ng successful na pandaraya ni GLoria Makapal Arroyo nuong eleksyon 2004. At ayaw din ma-identify ni Lacson sa kampo ni Erap dahil nga may hidden agenda rin siya at secret deal with GMA regarding the Kuratong case. Kaya medyo tumahimik muna ang kasong iyan.

  21. Fearless Warrior/Mandirigma,

    Wala na sina Sotto at Oreta kay Angara, ngunit hindi sila sumama kay Danding Cojuangco. Kausap ko lang kagabi si Tessie Oreta.

    Matagal ng hindi magkasama sina Oreta at Sotto kay Angara.

  22. luzviminda luzviminda

    Sayang si Villar. Baka maagang maatapos ang kanyang pagiging Senate President kung hindi siya mananalo! HE IS REALLY TAKING THE RISK. Baka MA-KARMA siya dahil sa kanyang parte nuon as Speaker of the House.

  23. luzviminda luzviminda

    Sana si OSCAR ORBOS ay isama sa UNITED OPPOSITION!!! Isa siyang winnable candidate. Bukod sa may MATALINO ay may “PUSO PARA SA MASA”.

  24. luzviminda luzviminda

    But the opposition should also field winnable candidates for the House of Representatives para makakuha ng majority votes. kaya yung hindi makukuha for the Senate should run for the Congress.

  25. alitaptap alitaptap

    Taga Babuyan island ba yong mga squatter sa ‘palace by the murky river’? Miss ko yong feborit kong si mandiri kay gma.Na-shipwrick ba siya sa Babuyan island?

  26. luzviminda luzviminda

    Si JV Ejercito ay dapat na sa House of Representatives na muna.Mag-congressman na lang muna siya para magkaroon ng experience sa pag-balitaktakan at pagdedebate sa mga issues. Tutal kailangan ng majority opposition sa Congress. Ganun din si Koko Piementel, kung eligible pa siya sa Kongreso tumakbo. Si Noynoy Aquino naman ay pwede na sa Senado.

  27. Spy Spy

    Supportahan natin ang oposisyon. At dahil 12 lamang ang iboboto, unahin natin sa listahan ang mga oposisyon na hayagang lumaban ke gloria. At hwag natin silang pag away-awayin. Switik ang kalaban, dapat solido ang oposisyon—ang partidong kumakalaban sa ilegal at imoral na gobyerno ni gloria.

    …..talo tayo sa umpisa pa lang kung hindi tayo nagparehistro.

  28. Talking of tricks being played Marie Surbano reports in the Daily Tribune that The CBCP is set to hold its plenary assembly on Jan. 25 to 28 wherein they are expected to issue pastoral statement concerning socio-political issues. I would hope that this body of Bishops would condemn, in no uncertain terms, the many instances of strong arm tactics of this administration, their Justice Dept the head of the DILG, PNP and the AFP without being wishy washy but straight to the point in terms and language that everyone understands. It is my opinion that they (bishops) also have to regain the respect of the people and this is their chance to make the first step towards this.

  29. Furthermore:
    Daily Tribune 12/21/06 BY GERARD ANTHONY NAVAL
    Bishop Oscar Cruz was reported as calling for an all-out protest rally instead of a prayer rally by anti-Charter change forces. Cruz, former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, said the mass action should be unrestrained in allowing expressions of outrage against the administration, unlike the CBCP-initiated gathering which was purely a prayer gathering, “If you ask me, let’s hold another rally but this time let’s drop the tag of a ‘prayer rally’ and call it an all-out protest rally,” Cruz said. “Everyone against Cha-cha would be free to come, free to bring their banners, and free to air their grievances. No more restrictions. There were too many of those in the last rally”.called for an all-out protest rally instead of a prayer rally by anti-Charter change forces. the mass action should be unrestrained in allowing expressions of outrage against the administration.
    DANGEROUS LEADERSHIP Cruz said he is planning to bring the idea of a protest rally to Church officials. This administration has shown it is willing to interfere in all stages of a Con-Con, from the election of delegates to the plebiscite. It is hell-bent on pushing its interest. This is a very dangerous leadership,” Cruz said. He said there is a “big danger” if the administration is allowed to “satisfy its obsession” to change the Constitution during its tenure. “Changing the fundamental law of the land is not the problem. The problem is the holder of the highest office in the land, fixated with making the change,” he said. The reason is obvious: First, it would do away with even pending impeachment case. Second, it would be able to extend its rule one way or another. Third, it would manage to hold on to immunity from suits as long as legally possible. How neat!”
    Lets hope & pray that the CBCP listen to Bishop Oscar Cruz.

  30. FW/M, I set a standard for this blog. and I’ve told you my views on particular reports. I hope you will respect that.

  31. fearlesswarrior fearlesswarrior

    Thanks Ka Ellen, I do welcome correction including the information about Soto and Oreta’s not joining Danding’s NPC.

  32. Ellen,

    I remember one loop where I suggested that anything not in relation to the issue being discussed be removed. That done, the flow of messages, whether pro or con, was what it should have been, and everyone, whether pro or against the poeple being discussed about, showed some intelligence.

    Meanwhile, former allies of the Burot themselves are sending signals to the Opposition that they are ready to jump ship, and can bring more votes for the Opposition, something that I pray the Opposition will not fall for, but stick to those who have been with them loyally from the beginning.

    In fact, they can start scouting for new faces from the grassroots movements. There are a lot many of them working in the fields who are ripe for the picking and bring new hopes and ideas that can mean progress and a better Philippines.

  33. I cannot vote because I am not allowed to have dual citizenship. It is against our law. Dual citizenship over here is allowed only for children up to the age of 19 going on 20, but I can recommend Alan Cayetano to Filipinos I have helped encourage to vote in 2004. A lot many of them see the present leadership as bogus, and they will surely vote for Alan Cayetano especially versus the Fatso!

    He is in fact, the No. 1 in my friends’ list for this year’s election. Pangalawa lang si Chiz Escudero, but with his photo with Burot blazoned in the Inquirer, I am afraid, he is now under the list. He should write a public apology maybe! 😛

    Trillanes is definitely in. May cliche na nga sila (meaning, my Filipino staff): SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!

  34. Kahit ano ang gawin ng mga ungas, Ellen, Alan Cayetano is bound to win maliban na lang kung gawan ng paraan ni Abalos on the order of the Burots in Malacanang. Baka mag-guerra patani na kapag ginawa nila iyon!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  35. Luzviminda: kaya yung hindi makukuha for the Senate should run for the Congress.

    *****
    Madaling sabihin iyan, Luzviminda, pero mahirap gawin lalo na kung ang mga probinsiya ay hawak ng mga kaibigan ni Fatso at Bansot at aapaw pa ang mga pera na ipinamumudmod nila.

    No, Koko Pimentel should run for the Senate. Kung tumakbo siya as Congressman, mas mabuting sumali siya sa partylist o magtayo sila ng partylist para makatakbo siya at ilang mga oppositionist na hindi makapasok sa slot for Senators. That way, maboboto siya kahit ng mga OFWs. Bakit ba iyong taga California na pamangkin daw ni Ninoy Aquino nakapag-submit na ng candidacy niya for Senator sa COMELEC?

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  36. Ellen: May kasabihan tayo na wala namang magtitiyaga magpukol na bato sa isang puno na hindi hitik ng bunga.

    *****
    Sabi ng pilosopong staff ko, Ellen, baka sabihin naman ni Burot Pidal siya ay mabunga kaya pinupukol ng “boo” ngayon, pero sabi hindi, puro bulok kasi ang ibinunga kaya kailangan nang putulin at bungkalin sa lupa para matanggal na ang puno’t dulo ng kabulastugan na ginagawa niya at ng mga galamay niya, including the husband most of all!!!

    Sige hirit lang mga kaibigan. Kung 24 hours and operation ng Internet Brigade, 24 hours din ang banat natin dito.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  37. I’d like to remind everybody that the purpose of this blog is to help bring out the truth and uphold justice. In our own small way, we try to contribute towards that goal by discussing and analyzing issues.

    That exercise should be based on accurate information. I try to put here, to the best of my ability, accurate information. Because in the first place, why should I and all of us here, waste our precious time on things that are untrue?

    That’s the reason why I have mentioned earlier, reports that I do not welcome in this blog. I have long been in the journalism business to know what are legitimate and illegitimate news items.

    Anybody who doesn’t believe me, has all the right to indulge himself or herself in those kind of reports but I would not want it here in this blog.

    Thank you.

    Our focus should be on both house, halimbawa who will replace alan’s or chiz…

    metro manila being traditionally (at least) having less “bayaran” voters and more on intelligent voters, we should also expose metro manila’s representative’s collusion with the witch.

    i read above JV should run in congress, i agree… to add more opposition in the house, at least syre n yan sa san juan.

    though we are more focused on senate battlefield let’s not forget ung 1st battlefield.

    mahirap nga sa probinsya lalo na dun sa bikol, katulad nina Louie villafuerte, edcel lagman, joey salceda will be running as governor (3rd timer na sya)… so 3 seats for grab sa bikol na nakita ng buong sambayanang pinoy na sagadsagarang maka-gloria at mga makasarili. etong mga tongressman na mga to dapat maexpose sa bikol eh… more seats pa sa bikol, pero eto ung mga prominent na pro-gma eh.

    i dont know about dun sa place nina zubiri, pechay et al, it will be difficult kasi mga pinag-ugatang mga politiko.

    anyway message is, gaano man kahirap ang kalaban natin, we must have also strategy in winning for more oppositions in the house, that should come more from urban centers (metro manila), provinces na kung saan mahina c gloria at di nya hawak ang governors, and party list.

  39. The administration is focusing on Visayas and Mindanao. They have given up on Luzon as it is opposition territory. This is the reason why cheating was massive in the south last ’04. This is where the true battle will be. The opposition should get as many seats in the lower house. Cheating will be massive and money will flow. This will be the most expensive elections we will ever have. The opposition should exploit the row between the administration and the local officials. The suspensions and dismals were meant to rein in local execs, theis is the whip to get them in line and support the pandak.

    Another point to consider is the obvious dumping of Lakas from the coalition. Kampi is now recruiting as many from Lakas as they can. The coalition is now at its weakest, the opposition should exploit this situation. The administration will use all its resources for its propaganda. More mudslinging will be used in the days to come.

  40. Chabeli Chabeli

    One of KAMPI’s strategy is to be the next “Rainbow Coalition” just like how JdV made LAKAS-CMD. From what I understood, KAMPI feels that since their party is GLORIA’s party, & she being the President-Kuno, they should be the strongest & most influential party in the House & NOT LAKAS-CMD. KAMPI would want to coalesce w/ as many political parties as possible. Also, what I hear is that KAMPI would also want the next Senate President to be from KAMPI. I can’t verify this, but from what I get, the name of a certain Benjie Lim is the one KAMPI will pit against JdV.

  41. fearlesswarrior fearlesswarrior

    Ka Ellen, you’ve been long in the journalism business to know what is legitimate and illegitimate pero hindi naman kami mga journalists dito. Paano namin malalaman kung legitimate o hindi ang isang balita? Lalo na kung sinulat ito ng isang writer na anti-Arroyo sa pahayagan na anti-Arroyo din?

  42. Chabeli Chabeli

    So far, here’s a tentative list of possible candidates:

    1-J.R. Nereus “Neric” O. Acosta *
    2-Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, III
    3-Alan Peter S. Cayetano
    4-JV Ejercito-Estrada
    5-Francis “Chiz” G. Escudero
    6-Roilo S. Golez *
    7-Panfilo “Ping” Lacson
    8-Oscar “Pareng Oca” Orbos *
    9-Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel, III
    10-Gilbert C. Remulla *
    11-
    12-
    *HAS NOT ANNOUNCED INTENTIONS OF RUNNING AS SENATOR

    I left 2 slots open, as the final list from any side has NOT been finalized. What is important is that the candidates are FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE.

  43. Chabeli Chabeli

    ..maybe Trillanes should be added in the list ? Gringo is a has-been & should just take a bow. He had his time & blew it.

  44. chi chi

    Chabeli,

    Just had a long chat with my niece in congress and she said that Chiz E and Allan C have almost solid suppport among congress employees.

    Same info with one Benjie Lim.

    I’m waiting for R Golez to make announcement. BTW, tapos na ba ang congress term niya? No problem with your list, kaya lang ay maraming asterisks, heheh.

  45. FW, I hope this is the last on this issue. Lies are garbage, right? So reports that are not true are garbage.

    I don’t blame you for believing in published reports. The unwitting public are victims of irresponsible journalism.

    Philippine media is a microcosm of Philippine society. Corruption is a problem. A corrupt reporter is an irresponsible journalist.

    It’s not within my power to solve this deplorable situation in Philippine media. There are a number of people and groups who are helping try to promote responsible journalism like PCIJ and CMFR.

    My way of countering this problem is by being a responsible journalist. To be a responsible journalist is to be truthful in the information you convey to the public.

    This blog will not be used to confuse the public. I will not allow this space to be used to spread false information.

    I’d like to believe you when you said that it was in good faith that you posted those false reports. That’s why I hope you won’t insist on them when i refused to allow them here.

    I tell you, I have been in media long enough to know, who of my colleagues are responsible or not.

    If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it but please don’t bring them here.

    If you want to create intrigues between me and other reporters, I’m sorry, I won’t indulge you.

  46. Anna: “Mahiya na sila!”
    ******

    Hindi mahihiya ang mag-asawang iyan kasi walanghiya na sila.

    What arrogant fools indeed! Just look at how the Great Switik face the camera still even when she was found guilty of cheating in the last election. The Election Code prohibits anyone from calling up any of the Comelec commissioners as a matter of fact, not even her own appointee, but there she was asking for the 1M vote Garcillano was told to produce for her to be noted as winner!

    Tama ka, Anna and Schumey, babuyan na! So why should Filipinos be reverent of her position when everybody knows it is bogus unless they restore the sanctity of the presidency by having her and her co-plotters, including Davide, who trampled upon the Constitution regardless of its flaws, sent to jail!

    Hindi dapat palusutin ang mga ungas na iyan to be fair!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! SIPAIN ANG BUGAW NA ASTA PROSTITUTA PA! ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA!

    Let’s go off topic for a moment and cool off: hello everyone, remember the Filipino Youth that was shot and killed by a Toronto Police Officer? The case is not over yet, I mean the civil case has not come to jury trial yet, but my bet is the Police Services Board will settle out of court in favour of the Plaintiff Jeffrey Reodica. Here is another damming report by the City Auditor General regarding the Training or Lack of Training of the City Police Force. And the Chief seems to Agree (a new chief).

    http://www.thestar.com/News/article/173841

    thank you all and let’s us keep our cool and remember our goal here is to have a healthy and constructive discussions and debates and exchange of perspectives in an honest, truthful, and properly moderated venue.

  48. Chabeli Chabeli

    Chi,
    Oo nga, ang daming kong asterisks. Until these politicians will officially announce their Senatorial candidacy, it’s still not sure, diba ? We have to wait for the official lists to come out. In the meantime, that’s the best I could come up w/.

    Is Benjie Lim from Pampangga ?

    Rep. Golez (2nd District of Parañaque City) is w/ KAMPI-unless he has dumped that party-he is a first termer & was elected in 2004. He can still run for Congress.

  49. Vic,

    “let’s us keep our cool and remember our goal here is to have a healthy and constructive discussions and debates and exchange of perspectives in an honest, truthful, and properly moderated venue.”

    Agree! Spoken with reason, the matter rests as far as I am concerned.

  50. Chabeli, Golez has left Kampi. He is now independent. He is not eligible for re-election

  51. Chabeli Chabeli

    Ms. Ellen,
    What party does Rep. Golez belong to now, if as you say “He is not independent” ?

    Thanks for the corection, Ms. Ellen. Will update my info on Rep. Golez.

  52. chi chi

    Golez is one politician I can entrust my future as pinoy!

  53. Chi,

    I used to be skeptical of Golez in 2001 but I’ve somehow changed my opinion. He’s one former military officer who could do a good job of helping defeat the unano (if only he would have the ultimate opportunity to fire effective and lethal salvos!)

  54. Luzviminda:

    You bet, JV Ejercito will make a better Congressman. Huwag na niyang agawan ng papel ang kuya niya. Mas maganda ang labanan sa Congress dahil nandoon ang karamihan sa mga tuta ni Burot headed by the Pangalatok whose wife is being groomed for the Senate daw.

    Pihadong mananalo siya as Congressman although it is possible that he can also win as a Senator. Mas magaling kung doon siya sa Congress para naman mabigyan ng lakas ng loob ang mga api doon na hindi marunong magnakaw gaya ni Ka Bel kaya akala hindi makakalaban sa mga ungas.

    Kailangan ng Opposition ang maingay na malakas na Congressman. JV should be that.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

    Sa mga naguguluhan baka makatulong ang opinion ni Atty. Katrina Legarda, mula sa ABS-CBN news.

    There seems to be three senatorial slates being formed. The “Erap” slate, made up of the old, long-discredited faces of the Marcos and Estrada regimes, some “new” kids-off-the-old –block, and the great balimbings. Do not talk to me about the “honorable” Nene Pimentel, ok? How can he be honorable when he allows a twice-lost son of his to run and join him in the Senate? Where goes now Nene’s much-vaunted principles against the formation of political dynasties? Just because his son is a bar topnotcher does not qualify him as a legislator. Have you heard of any bar topnotcher who has come to the eye of the public because of his great advocacies and issues? I can only think of Marcos… correct me if I am wrong ha… and we all know what happened when he became President.

    ALIS DIYAN MAY KILITI AKO DIYAN!!!!

  56. I will recommend Golez to Filipino voters in Japan if he is running for the Senate since he is no longer illegible to run for Congress. At least, he is one guy with a lot of balls so they say! Sa Tagalog, may paninindigan! Iyan ang tunay!

    So, who says that there is no one to take the place of the Switik who has done her country a great disservice. Magaling lang mangloko! Ang daming magaling, nawawalan lang ng gana dahil sa mga sipsip!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! BAGUHIN NA NGAYON NA ANG MGA UGALING PALPAK!

  57. Hoy Diwata, you may not want to believe that Senator Pimental is honorable but he is. Apparently, you don’t know him personally. Otherwise, you will not be writing the kind of crap you have written above.

    I would rather that you don’t try to mudsmear him and his son, because people who know them you definitely will not be able to change their minds about voting for Koko if he decides to run for the Senate regardless of whether or not he passed the bar as a topnotcher.

    You and this Katrina something, I believe, do not have the prerogative to good opinion, nor can judge a person from a distance. I suggest that you follow the admonition in the Bible, “Judge not that thou shalt not be judged.”

    In fact, if you have anything against Senator Pimentel, you are free to send him an email at his website at http://www.nenepimentel.org or to his email addy at aqp@pldtdsl.net.

    If I can vote, I will surely vote for Koko Pimentel if he runs.

    Pimentel family is loser in Cagayan de Oro. Sa Senado na naman nanggugulo.

  59. fearfulwarrior fearfulwarrior

    Talagang freak out nga talaga ito. The Pimentels are still very much respected in Cagayan. Si Koko iba ang dating. Di hamak na mas magaling iyan kina Lapid, Revilla o Jinggoy.

    fearlesswarrior, tama ka na super balimbing at pakawala ng administrasyon. Noon pa man alam ko na ang likaw ng bituka ni Angara hindi mo siya maasahan. Si Santiago ganon din wala ka ring maasahan sa kanya balimbing din kung hindi sumama sa tiket ng administrasyon nong nakaraang eleksyon di siya lulusot sa eleksyon kaya todo protekta ang ginawa niya ke bansot kahit harapang nanloloko,nagnanakaw. Di ako bilib sa kanya kahit sabihin pa niyang matalino siya wala siyna prinsipyo.Tungkol ke Enrile di mo pa ba alam balimbing na yan panig na yan ke bansot. Kaya ung mga bumalimbing ngayong senador at pumanig sa oposision wag mong asahang tapat sila kasi darating din ang araw na titiwalag sila.Si Santiago ano kamo ganon talaga siya becaus of her temper and combative mood, ang magandang deskripsyon nyan ay me topak na siya.Si Pimentel ever since di ko binot yan kasi alam ko rin ang likaw ng bituka nya, magaling sa magaling pero walang prinsipyo ganon din balimbing basta gunitain mo lang kung sinu-sino ung nasa EDSA Dos at don mo malaman na tama ako.Di ako magdadalawang isip iboboto ko si Cong.Peter Cayetano sa Senado kasi me paninindigan at lumalaban sa mga tiwaling opisyal at kahit ano pa ang gagawing black propaganda ng Malacanang lulusot siya maliban lang kung dadayain.Sa dayan si bansot ay numero uno at me PH.D na at ang professor nya ay si Graciallano.

    ramil, diyan ka na sa qatar? welcome back to the fold. bisita ka sa “si gloria na ang isyu”. kaya lang magbaon ka ng diving gear dahil napakalalim na ng iyong sisisirin.

  62. fearfulwarrior fearfulwarrior

    Kabayang Ramil, do you notice the silence of Santiago and Enrile these days? Masarap yata ang niluluto ng Malacanang para sa kanila. Huwag ka din po magugulat kung ibalita ko sa iyo na si Tito Sotto ay kasama sa unity ticket ni GMA. Kasama niya sina Mike Defensor. Shocking? Iyan po ang balitang natanggap ko mula sa isang mataas na official sa opposition. Huwag naman pong sabihin ng blog na ito na “garbage” ang balita ko. What if this report that I share turns out to be true again. Ang mga nagmamarunong dito itatanong pa sa mga kakilala nila pero ako nalalaman ko agad at mas maaga. Salamat.

    mrivera, nandito na naman uli ako sa Qatar todo kayod para sa pamilya na umaasang mabigyan ko sila ng magandang bukas.Pag si bansot ang isyu talagang magbabaon ako ng diving gear kasi napakahirap sisirin ung lungga nya maraming asungot na umaaligid sa akanya di ako makapenetrate. Fearlesswarrior, alam mo naman pag tahimik ay malalim yan wag ka ng magtaka ke enrile at santiago matagal na yang identified sa administrasyon dati tagasubaybay nila ako pero ngayon isinusuka ko na sila .
