Hindi ako magugulat kung sa kahuli-hulihan, si Ralph Recto ay sasama sa administration tiket.
Di ba sabi niya “neutral” siya? Kaya ang pag-usapan lang ay kung ano ang magandanag package para sa kanya. Nayari na nila si Armand Sanchez, ang gubernador na kanila rin. Ang balita ay inaayos rin ang kanyang kapatid na si Ricky para congressman.
Wala namang naniniwala na kaya tinanggal si Sanchez ay dahil sa bali-balitang jueteng lord. Alam naman nila ang kanyang balita kay Sanchez bago nila ginawang kandidato noong 2004 na eleksyon.
(Ipinatayo ng administrasyon si Sanchez noong 2004, kasi tagilid si Nani Perez, ang kandidato ng Lakas, kay Charito Apacible na kandidato ni FPJ. Tumakbo si Sanchez sa ilalim ng Liberal party, na noon ay buong kaalyado ni Arroyo. Nang maghati-hati ang LP, sumali si Sanchez sa Atienza wing na kampi kay Arroyo.)
Nagpa-survey si Recto. Dalawa lang ang tanong. Una: Ano ang kanyang tsansa manalo kung siya ay tatakbo sa ilalim ng tiket ng administrasyon? Pangalawa: Ano ang kanyang tsansa kung siya ay tatakbo sa tiket ng oposisyon?
Lumabas na pareho lang ang kanyang tsansa. Kaya yan ang sinasabi niyang “neutral”. Ibig sabihin ng neutral, walang panindigan.
An pagiging senador ay hindi dapat kung saan ka kikita. Serbisyo sa bayan dapat ang pinakaunang priority. Ang maayos na serbisyo sa bayan ay malinis at makatarungang pamamalakad ng pamahalaan.
Ang sino mang opisyal na nandadaya at nagnanakaw ng pera ng taumbayan ay traidor sa kanyang sinumpaan bilang hinalal na opisyal. Si Gloria Arroyo ay nandaya at nagnakaw. Hindi lamang pera ngunit boto at karapatan ng sambayanang Pilipino.
Ang isyu sa eleksyon na ito ay si Gloria Arroyo.
Kung mapupunta si Recto sa tiket ng administrasyon, ibig sabihin noon sinusuporta niya ang pandaraya at pagsisinungaling.
Kaya mataas yan sa survey si Recto, kasama ni Manny Villar ant Kiko Pangilinan ay kunwari kritiko sila kay Arroyo. At siyempre pareho sila ni Pangilinan na sikat ang asawa.
Pero hindi rin dapat magsiguro si Recto porke’t mataas siya sa survey. Noong 2004 eleksyon, ganyan ang nangyari kay John Osmeña. Number six siya sa lahat na survey. Kaya nang hindi niya nagustuhan ang pamamalkad ni FPJ ng kampanya, lumipat siya kay Gloria. Anong nangyari sa kanya? Di, nilaglag.
Mabuti para sa oposisyon na ngayon pa lamang, maalis na ang mga balimbing. Yung mga namamangka sa dalawang ilog.
Kasi kahit sumakay yan sa tiket ng oposisyon, dahil nga walang prinsipyo, hindi ka makakasiguro kung sakaling magka-impeachment ay hindi yan kakampi kay Arroyo. Lalo na kapag may hawak sina Arroyo na alas laban sa kanya.
Mabuti na yung maaga ay magka-alaman na.
Mr Recto here has dilapidated the political capital that his late and respected nationalist grandfather Claro M Recto built.
As we say in French, wealthy families usually finally lose their wealth through the third generation; the wealth of a family is created by the grandfather, it is spent by the son and is squandered and finally dilapidated by the grandson.
We may not be talking here of wealth as in material wealth but Mr Recto-Santos has fallen into the same trap… he’s squandered his political heritage, all in the service of one immoral political midget.
What a waste of precious ration, this Recto has become.
“Ang isyu sa eleksyon na ito ay si Gloria Arroyo.”
Mga kapatid sa kabilang “isyu si Glueria”, meron ng karugtong na isyu. Of course si bansot pa rin, sino pa nga ba!
Mas maaga mas mabuti na magkaalaman na kung sino-sino pa ang magtatraydor sa atin!
Kung hanggang pulitika lang ang buhay nina Sotto, Oreta, Recto, Noted, Villar, Angara, at iba pa, at walang concern sa tunay na isyu ng mga pinoy laban sa pekeng pangulo ay huwag silang pakasiguro na sila ay iboboto ng mamamayan.
Yes, Ellen, may katapusan ang kanilang mga ambisyon. Para sa akin, less two headaches pag nagtraydor si Sotto at Oreta.
Si Recto, ang Claro, ay siguradong hindi matahimik sa kinalalagyan dahil sa kahihiyang ibinibigay sa kanyang mabunying pangalan ng mga Recto descendants!
Hindi kaya political modus operandi ni Sotto at Oreta iyan just to get elected? If they win, babaligtad sila uli (vs Gloria)?
Sige, ang mga traydor na gustong magpakanlong sa kanilang “Dirty Mama, Glueria” ay eskierda na! We don’t need you, opportunists, you’re just making ordinary pinoy lives more complicated. TSUPI kayong lahat! #$%@&^*&^$#$@%^ GGGRRRRRR!
Anna,
It doesn’t surprise me at all. They are just being true to their real color, TRAPOS forever!
from ana:
Hindi kaya political modus operandi ni Sotto at Oreta iyan just to get elected? If they win, babaligtad sila uli (vs Gloria)?
Possible, why not. Sana nga, pero I doubt it. Ang tanong, mananalo pa ba sila?
The next wave of JOKES-after TATAD, SOTTO, & ORETA-is RECTO, PANGILINAN & VILLAR. To my mind, these TRAPOS are “namamangka sa dalawang ilog..Kasi kahit sumakay yan sa tiket ng oposisyon, dahil nga walang prinsipyo, hindi ka makakasiguro kung sakaling magka-impeachment ay hindi yan kakampi kay Arroyo. Lalo na kapag may hawak sina Arroyo na alas laban sa kanya.” Aside from Recto, this also applies to some of the JOKERS. Take for example, Manny Villar. Gloria knows about his baho regarding his loans..but that’s another story.
Most people do not want an Opposition that will be comprised of recycled TRAPOS. UNO listened to the voice of the people. Those who refused to listen, went to their corner, cried, & into to the arms of their Dirty Mama, GLUERIA ! Ah, nothing like a “winnable” ticket for Gloria !
Tell you what Chi, I personally vote by process of elimination.
These are the guys I definitely didn’t and won’t vote for:
Recto Pangilinan Enrile Angara Honasan Revilla Villar Joker Arroyo; And will now add to that list: Sotto & Oreta + Tatad
Nakalimutan ko na ang iba…
On top of my list: Pimentel, General Biazon (can he still run?), Lacson and if Alan Cayetano runs, I will vote for him. I have not considered JV Ejercito but for the sake of giving this gloria bansot government a run for their stolen money, I just might.
I prefer to put only 4 or 5 senatorial bets on the ballot but I find it difficult to vote for politicians whom I believe have failed my expectations.
My short list…
Chiz Escudero
Alan Peter Cayetano
Noynoy Aquino
Koko Pimentel
Ping Lacson
Ay tama, Mike_dlc!
I forgot Chiz Escudero but will vote for him!
We’re on the same wavelength: Chiz Escudero, Alan Peter Cayetano, Noynoy Aquino, Koko Pimentel, Ping Lacson
I must say I agree with you there, Ellen…Maaga pa, mag-kaalaman na. And to further take-off from a previous item of yours, “Takbo, lahat kayong mga traidor, takbo”. At makikita niyo ang hatol pagdating ng Mayo.
Same w/ Mike_dlc & Anna de brux:
Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, III
Alan Peter S. Cayetano
Francis “Chiz” G. Escudero
Panfilo “Ping” Lacson
Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel, III
I think the “Third Force” will turn out to be “THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE.” Heheheh. DIRTY MAMA GLUERIA is Darth Vader.
Anna, Chabeli and Mike_dlc,
Your candidates are mine, too!
Anna, Bumanat na naman si Tandang Edong!
UNO’s ‘loss’ paves way for ‘Third Force’ win in polls
http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20070125hed2.html
Ka Chi, Angara is rejected by all sides. His political career has ended. Kung ako siya, mag-alaga na lang siya ng mga apo niya.
I just hope and wish Ms. Vilma Santos and Ms. Sharon Cuneta will do something so that their husbands become the true fighters for the Filipino people. The 2 senators have been “traydor” to our democracy. I believe they will soon join the ticket of the cheater & liar bansot.God forgive them!!! My choices: Lacson, N. Aquino, Escudero, Sotto, and Cayetano. I still have to fill the remaining seats. I must include J. Binay.
Pero paano kaya mananalo ang opposition? Ang reyna ng dayaan ay andyan pa rin, kasama ang kanyang mga taong walang mahal kundi pera—kick them out from the government–Abalos, Esperon, Raul Gonzales, Puno!!! Sila ang mga kampon ng kadiliman, maiitim ang budhi, makakapal ang mga mukha at sikmura. Tamaan sana sila ng kidlat!!!
Please take note the timing of such turnaround by Atong Ang. Why now when election is fast approaching and President Erap is the undisputed leader of the opposition? Unang-una, bakit pinabalik agad si Atong sa Pilipinas when my source told me his immigration status in the US is still pending on appeal? Ang kaso ba ni Bolante at pananaliti niya doon may ugnayan sa election natin? Uncle Sam is excited and happy about the recent killing of one Abu Sayyaf leader. More aids are pouring into Arroyo’s government. Pumunta pa nga sa Bicol ang US Ambassador para mamigay ng mga pagkain sa mga biktima ng nakaraang bagyo. Folks, things don’t look good for Erap and the opposition. Dirty tricks are indeed being applied now and with a bang! Ako mismo hindi ko akalain na babaligtad si Atong. Siya nga ang nagpahamak kay Erap sa away nila ni Singson. Tapos ngayon si Erap ang sinisisi niya. More than ever, we must be vigilant. More dirty tricks are coming…
Atong Ang sings, junks Estrada
Cuts bargain with prosecutor on P130-M kickback
By Norman Bordadora
Inquirer
Last updated 01:52am (Mla time) 01/25/2007
THE ESTRADA defense team had no inkling that the prosecution had a coup.
Yesterday, Charlie “Atong” Ang, a former gambling buddy of deposed President Joseph “Erap” Estrada, agreed to return to the government P25 million, which he said he took from the P130 million in tobacco excise tax that he and Estrada “diverted” in 1998.
The return of the P25 million is part of the plea bargain that Ang offered to the Sandiganbayan, the court trying him and Estrada for plunder.
The agreement, if approved by the anti-graft court, would allow Ang to enter a plea of guilty for the lesser offense of bribery, which carries a six-year prison term, and avoid a possible sentence of 40 years for plunder, Special Prosecutor Dennis Villa-Ignacio said.
Hello all,
I have been reading Ellen’s blog for sometime now and I really admire her and others who are regular to this site. I truly impressed by the wit, observations and analysis of all, esp. Anna D. B., fearlesswarrior, norpil, etc. I really used to like Anna d. B. because she really makes sense and knows what she is talking about. I am however been so disappointed by the way she’s been attacking FW lately. It really shocking to read all the things she’s been writing, the insults, the sarcasm, etc. I couldn’t believe she could really be that mean and so disrepectful of others’ beliefs. Worst of all, she’s been name calling and making so spiteful remarks. I thought all along that the regulars here understand and respect each other but how come this kind of hateful exchange of “patutsada” is being tolerated? I must admit, your credibility to me went down a notch. To FW, I salute you for taking all the beatings in stride, and you have my respect. To Ellen, yes, you do owe him an apology. Peace to all.
Salamat po Kabayang Agood. Hindi pala ako nag-iisa. Please don’t get me wrong, Madame A is a very intelligent woman and I think she’s nice to everyone except to me. Hindi ko lang po alam kung bakit ganoon na lang ang galit niya sa akin. This recent exchange between Ka Ellen and me, sumakay pa si Madame A. She added more fire to already volatile condition. Pero may pagkakamali din naman ako. I should not have reacted and just ignored it. Sa inis ko minsan gumaganti din ako ng pa-simple. Inaasar ko din pero para akin mas lambing lang iyon. I really want to have peace. Twice I offered peace pero sinupalpal niya ako. What more can I do? Kabayang Agood, baka matanggal ang comment mo kapag mabasa ni Ka Ellen. Ayaw na ayaw niya iyan lalo na kung ang binabangga si Madame A. You only have to review all the past posts to know this. Pero karapatan nila iyan. Buti pa mag-bakasyon muna ako para tuloy ang ligaya nila. Once again, thanks Agood.
One more thing Ka Agood, she or they would again suspect that your name is an alias created by me. Multiple personality daw. When I changed my name mandirigma to FW, naging tutoo ako hindi tulad ng iba diyan. Sabihin mo sa kanila na hindi ako ikaw. Salamat po ng marami.
Chi, Anna:
Kapag sumama sina Oreta at Sotto sa administration ticket ay wala silang “balls” kahit na sabihing gusto lang nilang makasama sa halalan at pagkatapos traydurin si Pandak pagkatapos. Hindi magandang asal iyan.
Time for these politicians that there remain in them even just an ounce of decency and integrity. Balimbing, hindi maganda iyan. Kung hindi sila makasama sa slot ng oposisyon, so be it. Tumulong na lang sila na mabato ang mga nakasama sa kanila para manalo on the condition that the opposition does not include the balimbings from the other side like Villar, Pangilinan and Recto. Time for the party that will challenge the Great Switik’s to show that they can produce good people to run for the Opposition. Marami pa naman sigurong may dangal, delikadeza at pagmamahal sa bansa. It’s just a matter of recognizing them para na rin matoto ang sambayanang pilipino na bumoto ng mahusay hindi iyong pumipili lang sa mga bulok, between two evils pa!
Kagaguhan na talaga ang politika sa bansang sinilangan. Nakakaawa! Babuyan pa! Pwe!
Tayo dito dapat tira lang ng tira! Out there I know na nakaka-blog dito ay may nakukuha rin kahit papaano. This is what I get from people who are able to get to connect with me privately. At least, kami dito sa Japan, may grassroot movement to educate the OFWs here to vote right. Problema nga lang sa embassy puede nilang dayain ang mga boto lalo na ngayong puro tuta ng mga switik ang nakaupo, something that actually is not the same in Japanese diplomatic missions overseas where the staff are bureaucrats and not political appointees!!!
The 8M Filipinos abroad should demand for better service and better DFA with a union of stronger bureaucrats who will not allow themselves to be used by crooks getting elected to positions in the government through vote-rigging/stealing and over-use of public funds plus donations from lobbyists and gambling lords.
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Sorry, this should read: Tumulong na lang sila na MABOTO ang mga nakasama sa OPPOSITION TICKET para manalo on the condition that the opposition does not include the balimbings from the other side like Villar, Pangilinan and Recto. Time for the party that will challenge the Great Switik’s to show that they can produce good people to run for the Opposition. MARAMI DIYAN! MAGHANAP LANG SILA NG MGA MATATAPANG AT HINDI TAKOT KAHIT SA GASTOS!
WHAT FILIPINOS GET, THEY DESERVE! KUNG PALPAK ANG IBINOTO NILA, KASALANAN NILA. TIME FOR THEM TO LEARN HOW TO VOTE RIGHT!
In most cases, fencejumpers (opportunists)are punished by the voters, unless obviously they did jump on matters of principles. But jumping into the back of a “crocodile” for a swim is not, I believe a principled move. Such is the case of Sotto and Oreta that instead helping the camapaign of the opposition, they did for their own selfish interest abandoned the most important principle of a person, standing by your principles and willing to pay the personal sacrifice. I think that is still foreign to most Pinoy Politicians.
My advice for those who are anti-gma but are still confused whom to vote for senator is:
to vote opposition candidates who overtly and consistently fight and condemned GMA and her administration.
List them down and you’ll be surprised kokonti lang pala sila. Among them are Sen Lacson, Cong Cayetano,Cong Escudero. Dagdagan na lang natin.
Iboto ang oposisyon na kandidato na iisa at klaro ang panindigan laban ke gloria. Junk the trapos!
Hello again. As you could see, I am a first timer here and should have posted my comments on the “Sotto Oreta” thread. That means I am not FW bec. I don’t know my way around yet. I am a woman and have been out of the country since 1989; spent the first 8 years in Europe and have been in the USA for 10 years now. Even though I’ve been out of PI so long now, I am still very much in touch and very knowledgeable about PI thanks to weblog like these, TFC and GMA channels. Like all of you, I am concerned with what’s happening back home and fervently wish and pray that Philippines will rise up once again and eventually be at the forefront of democracy and economy, and get rid off all the “trapos” in the government. I cannot believe that our country is being run like a family business with the eager participation of corrupt politicians and military (the latter who should be the defender of the hoi polloi but have now become the modern day berdugos). Sana dumami pa ang katulad ni A. Cayetano. Peace to all.
Enter uli ako ng sandali to acknowledge you Kabayang Agood. Welcome to the group. Masasanay ka din dito. I like your opening remarks.
Yuko,
One thing sure, these third force- wanna-bes are just trying their luck to be included in the UNO list. Unlike Dirty Mama Glueria ticket (who has people’s money) and UNO, they don’t have the machinery in the grassroot level to guard their individual ballots. Gagastos ba ang mga trapos na ‘yan ng sarili nilang pera? Puro din sila switik!
Kaya maganda ang ginagawa ng UNO na pagpili sa candidates as to winnability and priciple. It is about time na itabi muna ang mga matatanda ng pulitiko, lalo na ang trapos, na wala namang gaanong nagawa para pagbutihin ang buhay ng pinoy.
Marami pang matitirang matatandang senators sa upper house, kaya this time around ay ilagay natin sa pwesto ang mga bata na palaban, bagaman at kokonti sila, ay siguradong lalaban sa Dirty Mama Glueria!
Sinabi mo pa, Spartan. Hindi naman dapat makinig ang mga pilipino kahit kanino. Gamitin lang nila ang utak nila kung mayroon pa silang natitirang utak sabi nga. Kokonti ang mga akala ng mga pilipino, pero out there marami ang matino at handang maglingkod sa bayan. Problema kasi sa Pilipinas, kahit ngayon, uso pa rin ang palakasan at kumakapit sa patalim o kung sino ang may pera. Iyong may prinsipyo naman, ipinapapatay sa totoo lang!
Iyong 8M OFW sana may magagawa kaso marami sa kanila na-corrupt na rin kaya iyong mga boto nila sinasayang nila. Ni hindi nga nila alam na puede nilang iboto iyong mga partylist representatives. Hindi nila pinag-aaralan. Wala raw silang panahon! Susmaryosep!
Tira lang ng tira! Huwag pabayaang mamayani ang mga Internet Brigaders na akala mo tunay kung magsalita kundi mo pa alam na may tupak yata sa ulo gaya ng amo nila!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
You bet, Chi, it’s time Binay and company choose the right! Maraming mapapagpiliin sa too lang. Money, they found out, is not a problem.
Sa campaign sina FPJ ay walang masyadong ginastos. Bayanihan style pa nga ang nangyari. Kuwento ni Senator Pimentel sa amin na masaya daw sila despite the attempt on the part of the Bansot to mar their campaigns. Pati ang kawalan nila ng pera tinira but they were undaunted. Nanalo sila as a matter of fact. Alam naman ng lahat na dinaya lang naman sila!
Kung ako naman ang boboto sa Pilipinas, the lesser the gastos, mas iboboto ko, kasi alam kong hindi magnanakaw para ibawi sa ginastos! kaso marami yatang nalahian ng mga magnanakaw sa Pilipinas dahil ang daming magnanakaw naman lalo na ngayong gutom ang inaabot ng mga pilipino.
Gulat nga iyong katulong kong bagong salta sa Japan. Iniiwan ko ang pinamili ko sa likod ng bisikleta ko, hindi nawawala. Siksikan sa tren, hindi nadudukutan maliban na lang kung may nakasakay na snatcher na intsik o koreano o pilipino! Kahapon nga, nandoon ako sa pulisya na nag-i-interpret ng isang pilipinong nagnakaw sa isang department store kaya hindi ako maka-blog dito. Pangatlo ang pilipino sa mga nahuhuli dito for theft and robbery. Nakakahiya talaga sila! And they pride themselves for being the only Christians (kuno) in Asia!
Time to teach Filipinos a simple arithmetic as a matter of fact. Maraming kinarakot na pera, maraming dapat na ibalik. Simpleng utak lang naman iyan, and common sense!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Tama po si TonGuE-tWisTeD, tigilan na ang mga patutsadahan dito sa blog ni Ma’m Ellen. Sinabi na niya na kung ayaw natin sa komento ng isa, huwag nating pansinin.
Hindi rito ang laban at hindi tayo dapat naglalaban. Napapalayo tayo sa isyu. Dapat si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ang isyu.
hay…buhay pinoy…hindi na natuto….
galit kayo sa bumabaliktad, pero mahal na mahal niyo si loren at nakalimutan na ninyo ang estrada impeachment….
hay buhay…. mga pinoy gising!
Huh, nakakatawa nga ang mga trapos na ito, gusto pang pahabulin sa kanila ang UNO! They don’t know when to quit. Gaya na lang ni Tatad at Oreta, don’t they feel that there’s no chance for them to win ever again. Ito namang si Sotto, included na nga sa listahan ng UNO, gusto yata ay sa kanya lahat ang atensyon. It’ll do the opposition and us good if they will just disappear and let the likes of Chiz and Allan take over the senate.
Indeed Yuko! Ellen needs to focus on other things – she has graciously hosted us in this blog.
Again, so why bother with nonsense?
On the other hand, I cannot help feeling sorry for Angara for being now a scapegoat of these politicians without spines. For what they have shown, Sotto, Oreta, et al, should call it quits. Sira na sila as a matter of fact for joining the bandwagdon where the money is ala-Brenda.
Tawag diyan, mga ganid! Buti na lang I never fell for Sotto or Oreta, not even Loren as a matter of fact. I have my standards based on my religious beliefs, and I am glad that I have stuck to our beliefs as when I say that I will never patronize or vote a candidate with history of adultery, etc. regardless of any attempt to correct the situation even by devious means as when Legarda’s husband converted to Islam so he could legitimize his harem!
At least, over in Japan, our politicians abide by some standard rules—adulterers are out! Pag nabisto, nagre-resign and/or nagpapakamatay! Wish it would be the same someday over in our birthland! And when we vote, we really participate. Otherwise, we boycott and nobody says he has won!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Sinabi mo pa, Anna. Why bother with the nonsense? Kasi wala silang common sense! It’s as simple as that.
Frankly, I don’t even have to be a genius to blog here and share. It’s all common sense, and practical experience as when I volunteer for people who run for office in our community or from the grassroot movements that I am part of. Iyan ang sinasabi kong tunay na mga matalino kaya iyong mga kurakot dito hindi talagang makakilos at makakurakot ng husto. Eventuality with the help of a very strong media, bistado sila and they jump to their untimely death.
Sayang nga hindi uso sa Pilipinas ang scouting good politicians from the grassroot movements. Mas alam nila ang problema and they know how to solve them. Lamentably, those they have in the Philippines, don’t get voted. They get killed via extrajudicial killing!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Apparently, Ellen, bistado na pero ayaw pang pabisto! Hopefully, Filipinos will become better voters this time, and protect their votes, they should!
Sotto, Oreta to join admin ticket
By LYNDA T. JUMILLA
ABS-CBN News
Now that former senators Vicente “Tito” Sotto III and Teresa “Tessie” Aquino-Oreta have bolted the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) to join the Nationalist People’s Coalition, what’s next for these two opposition stalwarts and known loyalists of former president Joseph Estrada?
Sotto and Oreta are set to join the administration senatorial line-up under the guise of a “unity ticket,” according to sources in the opposition.
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=64473
Chi,
What can I say but pathetic! Now as for the guy who was crying wolf here from day one he heard of the negotiation with Danding to put Oreta and Sotto under his wings versus Angara, you bet your bottom dollar this guy is an insider vent to discredit the Opposition, which held on to its resolution to keep the Opposition slate clean sans the trapos that Oreta and Sotto prove themselves to be by this rumor.
On the other hand, why should this be considered a threat to the Opposition if the Filipinos indeed have learned their lessons? Apparently, what these Internet Brigaders are trying to do is discredit Ellen, and even the bloggers in this blog, and make it look that Filipinos indeed will never learn because they are hopelessly debased starting from the wannabe criminal calling herself president!!! Mabuti nga iyong sama-sama na sila!
One thing I can vouch for with authority in fact is Senator Pimentel and his son Kokoy whom I have worked with on a lot of projects for Filipinos in and out of the Philippines. Let’s say they are personal friends, but I am one who will not patronize even a sister or a brother if he is a crook, and I can tell anyone to back off if he/she only has “tsismis” to present versus personal testimonies that I have of what the Senator and his children have done for their country and people sans publicity!
I don’t know Cayetano but he seems OK to me as he stands firm on his ground versus the Fatso. He can be the Opposition’s banner carrier as a matter of fact. Sotto and Oreta could have provided him with the full support to put the Opposition up. But on the other, it’s good riddance that they have joined their kabalen.
As for Chiz Escudero, I have heard of the bravery of his grandfather. I was hoping he would be as brave, but personal relationship with the bogus president must have held him back!!!
Kawawang Pilipinas! Apparently, maraming bobo! Me? I’ll support Trillanes! I’ll tell my friends to vote for him, that is if he can get a nomination.
SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS! BUGAW NA ASTA PROSTITUTA PA, PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Pati ba dito meron maiinit ang ulo? Aba talagang maaga pa ay naagka-alaman na. Sumugod naman sa Malakanyang ang mga balingbing, mga drug lord, jueteng lord, mga kumukurakot sa kaban ng bayan mga ganid sa kapangyarihan pati rapist sumugod na din sa malakanyang. Aba nandoon na silang lahat tamang dito na lang kami sa blog ni ate ellen pasikip lang kami doon.
Come to think of it, all these blah-blah about Sotto and Oreta in fact is more another tactic to discredit the Opposition, which is a sure winner in the May election, even at the expense of Angara.
I wonder how much this politician from Quezon rumored to be one of those responsible for “balding” the forests there is getting for allowing himself to be a scapegoat?
I say, “Nice try!” The Opposition is here to win. Getting Sotto and Oreta to the Switik side is an attempt to give the impression that Erap’s hold on the “Mahirap” who make up the majority of the voting population is weakening. Well, to see is to believe!
On the other hand, what a wonderful way indeed to kill any growing love of country in Filipinos with these examples of treachery. Isa lang naman ang tanong: Who do you serve, God or Mammon? Danding may have the money, so what?
Quote for today: “And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. • • •If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? • • • No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Luke 16: 9, 11, 13)
Ano-ano ba ang mga nagawa ng mga ito para iboto sila sa susunod na eleksyon? Yan ang hirap sa atin mga Filipino, mahilig sa mga artista, mahihilig sa mga taong naririnig nila sa radyo at nakikita sa TV na sumasawsaw sa mga issues na maiinit sa pahayagan, at sa mga kandidatong marunong kumanta at sumayaw sa mga campaign sorties. E, ano naman ang nakikita natin sa kanila pagkatapos silang maboto, yan..magaganda at modelong naglalakihan na SUVs at maraming sasakyan na nakabuntot sa kanila..at maraming bodyguards..nakikita sila araw-araw sa society pages ng mga pahayagan..at biyahe ng biyahe sa labas ng bansa kasama si misis at pamilya..kung minsan, nagbibiyaheng nag-iisa para salubungin ang “girlfriend” niya sa labas ng bansa. Ang mahirap ay ang girlfriend ay mass “class” sa mga gustong bilhin sa mga shopping activities niya kaysa kay missis..hehehe..syempre, mas bata si “girlfriend”..At saan nanggagaling ng mga ginagastos nila? Syempre, sa kaban ng bayan at sa mga E-vat na binabayaran natin. Lahat ng politiko ay masasama! Nagkukunwari lang ang mga iyan. Kagaya din sa mga artista. Dapat tignan natin ang ating mga sarili at humarap sa salamin at tanungin natin kung tayo’y masama din. Pag ako’y tumitingin sa salamin para ayusin ang buhok ko, naiisip ko na masama din ako dahil ibinoto ko ang mga nagkukunwaring mga politiko nasa poder ngayon!!!
Ellen: “Mabuti para sa oposisyon na ngayon pa lamang, maalis na ang mga balimbing. Yung mga namamangka sa dalawang ilog.
“Kasi kahit sumakay yan sa tiket ng oposisyon, dahil nga walang prinsipyo, hindi ka makakasiguro kung sakaling magka-impeachment ay hindi yan kakampi kay Arroyo. Lalo na kapag may hawak sina Arroyo na alas laban sa kanya. ”
******
Sinabi mo pa, Ellen, iyan ang nangyari kay Marcos sa totoo lang. A lot of the people he patronized stabbed him at the back. Bakit mga cronies din naman niya ang nagpabagsak sa kaniya, di ba? Iyan ang problema niya noon. Mahilig siyang magkopkop ng ahas. Naahas tuloy siya. That was what my mother said about him.
Kamag-anak ng mother ko si Marcos on the father’s side (Rubio family), but one thing sure is he did not patronize any of his relatives on his father’s side. Doon siya napahamak sa partido ng nanay niya that included FVR.
I saw him when they were in Hawaii. He was a pathetic sight. Kaya itong si Misis kapit na sa patalim. Si Danding Cojuangco din, I saw in SFO but never had the chance to talk to him on one to one. Kasa-kasama siya sa mga meeting with the Marcos loyalist movement doon. Now, mabango siya kasi may pera siya!
All the more reason now why we should back up the Opposition. Puro malinis ang ilalabas nila dapat! Buti nga mawala na ang mga balimbing! Ibig sabihin niyan tapos na ang kanilang paghahari! Yehey!
I see, Ellen’s blog is still the way I left it. The zombies have once again risen and they are more rabid than before. The joys of blogging. Nice to know that the friends I have here remain true to their word.
Its better that at this early stage, the trapos have unmasked themselves. They have nothing to offer the opposition and more importantly, the people. I’m glad the opposition is listening to the stakeholders than stick with political prostitutes.
To all:
I refrain myself to post my comment in here because the temperature is getting hotter, can we please cool down the thermostat a bit. It’s been my greatest desire to post in this thread too .As you can all see ,there are two things that we all differ in opinion .Religion and politics ,unless we can learn how to compromise we will have an infinite discussion.
As I can see, we are starting to form a third force.
In politics there is no permanent allies, those politicians are compared to a wise businessman. They are only looking for there self interest and profits .They don’t invest money if they lost unless ,it is not there capital. Or they are a gambler.
Now ,we can see transparently what are there motives .Selfish and greed.
Sinabi mo pa, Schumey. With the turn of events, I see a great future for the Philippines. Umpisa na! I guess, natoto nang husto sina Binay sa experience nila before, during and after the election. God willing, sila ang mananalo!!!
ipinagmamalaki mo pa na kamag-anak mo si marcos? yang kumag na si marcos na yan ang nag-umpisa ng walang kahihiyang pangungurakot. hayan, ginaya ni erap at ni gloria!
SEN. JINGGOY EJERCITO-ESTRADA
Total Number of Bills/Resolutions Filed: 279
Pending In Committee: 261
Pending Second Reading: 3
Consolidated/Substituted In The Committee Report: 11
Consolidated With Adopted Resolution: 3
Wow!!! May ibubuga naman pala si Jinggoy. Or rather, may ibubuga naman pala ang legislative staff niya. They do all the hard work anyway. He was able to file 279 bills and resolutions during the 13th Congress. But the proof of the pie is in the eating…Ilan ang naipasa? Tatlo? A measly 3 out of 279? That’s 1.07%!!! Either his bills are really crappy or everyone hates him in the Senate and people kill his bills even before they get read or enter a committee. Just take a look at the numbers. A good 93.5% of his bills are stuck in committee!!!
What about the three which got consolidated with an adopted resolution? Surely we must credit Jinggoy’s acumen as a Senator for at least passing three noteworthy resolutions. Let’s see what the three resolutions are all about:
RESOLUTION: SRN-425
DATE: 1/23/2006
TITLE: RESOLUTION HONORING MANNY ‘PACMAN’ PACQUIAO FOR HIS VICTORY IN THE RECENT BOXING REMATCH IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HELD LAST JANUARY 22, 2006
RESOLUTION: SRN-586
DATE: 11/13/2006
TITLE: RESOLUTION COMMENDING RONATO ‘RONNIE’ ALCANO FOR HIS VICTORY IN THE 2006 WORLD POOL CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH IS CONSIDERED AS THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS 9-BALL TOURNAMENT, THUS BRINGING PRIDE AND HONOR TO THE FILIPINO NATION
RESOLUTION: SRN-590
DATE: 11/20/2006
TITLE: RESOLUTION CONGRATULATING AND COMMENDING MANNY ‘PACMAN’ PACQUIAO FOR HIS REMARKABLE VICTORY IN THE CONCLUSION OF A BOXING TRILOGY AGAINST ERIK ‘EL TERRIBLE’ MORALES ON NOVEMBER 19, 2006 IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
Anak ng p…atola!!!!!! Bakit puro resolutions honoring and commending sports heroes ito? Any Tom, Dick and Harry could do this. This is NOT the work of a Senator. I am not paying my taxes so that Jinggoy could congratulate Manny Pacquiao! I have nothing against Manny – in fact he should get all the accollades and more. What I am against is that I pay taxes so that the imbeciles in the Senate (na hindi ko naman ibinoto pero nanalo) should hunker down and get to work drafting laws for the betterment of the country.
Kung gagawa lang ng congratulatory resolutions ang trabaho sa Senado, eh di sana si Cristy Fermin na lang ang dapat na ginawang Senador…
Thank you for those who continue to support this blog for the principles it stands for.
As we are experiencing now, there are a number of saboteurs who have invaded this blog.
It’s a bother, yes. But let’s see it as a price we have to pay for making our presence felt.
This blog is in the top 30 in the Philippines and one of the top five political blogs.
If we don’t matter, they won’t waste their time on us. The know that we are making an impact, that’s why they are out to destroy us.
We will not let them have their way.
actually Ma’m Ellen, they are not wasting their time, cause it’s what they’re paied for to do. What’s being wasted is the money and resources of our country, ito ang trabahong ipinangako ni gloria at ng kaniyang mga alipores, ang gawing gestapo ang mga kababayan nating naghihikahos upang magsilbi nilang aso na kakahol at kakagat sa bawa’t Pilipino na sisigaw at boo-boo sa kanila.
Kita naman nating lahat, dati ang display sa “feed burner” ng site na ito ay 7, 9, 11 viewers, pero ngayon 148, 153, minsan pa nga nag-170some, dalawang bagay lamang ito, marami ang talagang nais na magbigay ng kanilang totoong saloobin o marami na ang nagmo-monitor na pakawala ni luli…hehehe.
fearful/fearless-warrior, mandirigma whatever…anong kinakatakot mo?
no need… sabi mo nga opinion lang walang personalan.
debate lang… hugutan lang ng argumento, patalasan ng opinion… ang pikon talo.
anyway… mam ellen… congrats if your blog is among the most read and most blogged, just shows na yung ingay natin dito may nakikinig… at dapat na kabahan na sila… eto ang silent majority!!!

kung trapo parin ang nakaupo kawawang pinas na minumutya.
para sa akin ung std ko para senador eto.
1. pro-people
2. nationalist
3. will push for genuine industrialization and agrarian reform
4. human rights and peace advocate/fighter.
5. Anti-Gloria.
but since sa panahon ngaun mahirap makahanap ng mga taong nasa mold nina Sen Diokno, Sen Salonga, Sen Recto (ung Claro hindi ung asawa ng star for all season), Sen Aquino (ung nasa 500 peso bill) and Sen Teofisto Guingona…
anti-gloria will be the minimum… then go ako dyan.
sure in my list:
1. Allan Cayetano (though Pia still has to prove anong nagawa nya, para sa akin mas magaling pa sya kesa Pia…)
2. chiz escudero
3. koko pimentel
4. noynoy aquino (puede na rin, kahit may dungis sya bilang bahagi ng pamilya na may ari ng hacienda Luisita)
my wishful thingking is, ung old guards (Diokno et al) are still here… ewan ko lang kung anong magagawa ng mga trapo ngaun against sa mga old guards.
Ano kaya ang ibig sabihin ng mga kulay sa logo ng political party ni George Galloway(Scottish MP)?
May kinalaman kaya ito sa visible spectrum na Blue, Green, Yellow, Violet, Orange at Red?
Noon ang pangangampanya sa TV : “Nang mamatay si Ninoy…”
Ngayon naman iba : “Nang mamayay si Da King…”

Look people, there are a lot of things to be considered when we choose who we want to vote, for example, the qualification of a candidate. We should be wise enough to select who we want represent us in the halls of congress. It’s no secret that there are candidates who only represents their own personal interest.
We should vote wisely in the may 2007 election.
vote wisely.

Congrats to Ms. Ellen for having one of the most read blogs in the internet. Different views are being poured out by bloggers like me with the single obejective of flushing down the draing the cheaters, stealers and liars of our country. Having said that, I’m sorry to say that this blog or any another blogs with the same objective is still not enough (although making headway) since we still need to reach out to the millions who have no access to the internet. A text brigade perhaps? Any suggestions?
I am aware everybody understands that in politics and specifically in getting into the senatorial slate, there’s always the backdoor maneuvering to get the needed attention and finally the nod of the selection committee. Until the final list has been announced, we are in animated suspense and everything is speculative.
What happened with Tito Sotto and Tessie Aquino is a simple move of transfering from one party who’s not active to another party which is active. It’s does not necessarily mean that they are automatically joining the ticket of the administration. They resigned from LDP because LDP is no longer a potent force with Ed Angara as its president confirmed that he’s not running not even in the third force.
In joining the NPC, they are in a company with Chiz Escudero. Remember Chiz was Danding Cojuangco’s proxy in a wedding with gma making abresiete with him? It could be a another strategy the same stand as the LP and NP battng for their own candidates for inclusion in the senatiorial ticket. NPC will now have the bargaining power.
But just like in the past, there’s always nagtatampo if not selected. Lipat sa kabila. It will not surprise us if finally Tessie Oreta will do that. After all, her sister Lupita is with gma. Tito Sotto, I believe will not follow suit but if he does, it’s his ball game. Hayaan natin. Anyway, he was the nino bonito of gma before. But for me, it’s like a kiss of death for both of them. Fini.
Pulitika nila yan at ganyan ang buhay ng pulitiko. Pero tayo dito, let’s stick to the issue. Why we are here is because we are being allowed to write and say our piece by the gracious host. Let’s not abuse it repeating what has been said already.
Finally, no matter what and how we argue, as far as I am concerned, the objective remains the same, is 12-0.
27 January 2007
A bit of off-topic:
Imagine when the senate approved the house resolution regarding the P125 salary increase, what did the members of the hous of representaTHIEVES do??? they want to withold the implementation, which accroding to the big huose by the murky reiver they will support the witholding if its implementation, hmmmmmm, it backfired on them, they are the ones who initiatedit and now they want to withold its implementation, crazy, hehehehehehehe………
These are the kind of candidates who should not be voted in the next congress, these are the candidates who are only after their vested interest, they are toilling with us voters.

galing sa tribune:
Arroyo backs freeze on minimum wage hike
01/25/2007
President Arroyo has backed calls by the business community for a freeze on an increase in the minimum wage, her spokesman yesterday said.
The House of Representatives passed a bill last December increasing the daily minimum wage of Filipino workers by P125, staggered over three years, in a bid to give low paid workers more purchasing power.
Wages in the Philippines vary by region but the national daily average is around P283, according to the Department of Labor and Employment data.
The minimum daily wage in Manila is higher at around P350 pesos.
Businessmen, particularly those operating medium-sized enterprises, have warned of massive layoffs and a possible increase in inflation if the pay raise had gone ahead.
The House has now deferred implementation of the bill subject to new debates. (for full story, click to http://www.tribune.net.ph)
prans,
as far as i can remember P125 wage increase (for private sector) and P3000 increase (for govt employees) is a brainchild of AnakPawis party list, just not to show malacanang contempt to our workers and govt employees which for years have never been given the fair increase (legislated that is) amidst years of inflation, they look for their fall guy in the House.
They found Rep. Remulla (of Cavite) to file the re-consideration of the Bill… at any rate ayaw ipakita ni GMA na i-ve-veto nya ang P125 increase bill… sympre eleksyon year ngaun, gusto ba nyang mamukhang anti-labor?
Pero kahit saang angulo tignan, anti-labor talaga si GMA…
kaya sigaw ng bayan!!!
12-0!!! sa senado!

He has money kaya kaibigan niya ang lahat! Remove the money, and he’ll know who his friends are! Pathetic? You bet he is!
Ngayon, halik puwit si Sotto at Oreta sa kaniya? So what? Basta ba walang boboto sa kanila maliban na siguro ang mga kamag-anak, etc., nila! Hindi naman katakataka!
I bet you the reason why they do not implement a compulsory education in the Philippines is because they do not want the Filipinos to be intelligent voters!

Economic growth likely short of 5.5% target
from tribune’s business section:
01/25/2007
The economy likely grew in a range of 5.3 and 5.6 percent last year, compared to 5.1 percent in 2005, the economic planning department yesterday said. Official growth figures are due for release next Wednesday.
The government previously said it expected the economy to grow 5.5 percent last year.
Dennis Arroyo, policy and planning director of the National Economic and Development Authority, said last year’s growth was driven by the services sector which likely advanced by between 6.0 and 6.3 percent.
Agriculture was expected to have delivered growth of 3.8-4.0 percent, while the industrial sector likely grew 5.2-5.4 percent, he added.
On the demand side, Arroyo, no relation to President Arroyo, said last year’s overall growth was driven by domestic consumption and exports. AFP

hindinapinoy:you mentioned marcos, erap and gma as kurakots. what about cory, is she not or it is just a slip of the pen.
Atong Ang is merely serving his purpose. Before he came back to the Philippines, he already agreed to be used by Gloria through Chavit against Erap. The guy is so broke, he needed the money. Another MONEY-SUCKING IDIOT w/ no principles ! These are the very types GLORIA thrives on..
**********************
Tito Sotto could never be accepted back by the Opposition wholeheartedly. Many of them-especially those who were campaigning for FPJ-still harbour ill-feelings towards Sotto & Melo Santiago (owner of Melo’s Steakhouse) because of the campaign funds that dwindled midway during the campaign of FPJ. In fact, a few months after the ’04 elections, Sotto & Melo Santiago bought homes in an expensive area-Hillsborough-in the Bay Area (San Francisco).
Sotto, like Oreta, are recycled trash !
Selected News from the BBC:
Germany wants globalisation push
China economy records huge growth
chabeli: agree with you.
Anna: “Hindi kaya political modus operandi ni Sotto at Oreta iyan just to get elected? If they win, babaligtad sila uli (vs Gloria)?”
*****
Over here, Anna, these are the kind of politicians that wiser Japanese voters do not vote for. That is why those who are disatisfied with their parties usually form their own parties and factions in and outside of their groups or form some coalition with another parties to form another party as in the case for example of the Minshuto, which unfortunately lost its integrity when a young lawyer, who just got himself elected for a position in the Upper House of the Japanese Diet, failed to prove culpability of a leading politician during the reign of Koizumi, and everybody in fact losing face, even the fact that the integrity of the Koizumi administration came under public scrutiny.
But then, of course, Japan is not the Philippines, where majority of the voters do not even understand that they have a right to demand for more quality politicians, not just some idiot riding on his grandfather’s illustrious name, or even a not so illustrious father whose own reign is remembered by Filipinos as one of the worst in Philippine political history as in the case of the father of the Great Switik who rose to power through grave manipulation and cheating.
What can I say but “kawawang Pilipinas!”? Iyan ang tunay na nasadlak sa dusa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Naalala ko pa yan si Tito Sotto noong innaugural address ni Erap sa Batasan noong 1998, humarap pa sila sa mga ralliyista sa labas ng Batasan grounds.
Manggagamit din pala!
Ang mga kauri ni Tito Sotto ay iyong mga underground ng Elitista. Pinoprotektahan lang ang mga negosyo at economic interest ng elitista sa pamamagitan ng pagsakay sa popularidad sa masa. Dinadaan lang sa pagpapatawa!(UG of the above-ground, ugag din pala!)
Eto naman si Tessie Oreta, napanood ko ito sa ANC News kay Cito Beltran noong 1st week ng Dec 2003. Binibida niya ang mga nagawa nya sa Senado. Ito yung education program na achievement nya raw sa Region 2.
You bet, Ellen, hangga’t maaga nagkakaalaman na.
I actually wondered how Binay would accommodate the sourgrapes. Ang daming gustong sumama sa Opposition because nobody wanted to be identified with the Great Switik anymore, and they are allowed only 12 Senators, and they have to produce real tough ones to save the Senate as a matter of fact.
Umalis na iyong mga palpak at pasikat! Ironically, these sourgrapes, who professed to be anti-GMA are now the ones up to glorify her! Parang si Brenda! Nauseating! Talaga naman! In short, pakitang tao lang pala!
I wonder how much money will go around to make Sotto, Oreta and even Recto to win again this time? I hope not!
Let’s pray for the Opposition to produce the 12-0 winnable candidates, who can prove that money should not be the criteria to win a position in the Philippines, but guts, brains and most of all the will and desire to serve for the Philippines and the Filipinos! Time for these politicians to know who their bosses are—the public who vote for them and not the other way around!!!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! MGA TRAPO SIPAIN NA!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

Been reading on Alan Cayetano, “Arroyo allies gang up on Cayetano” in Malaya http://www.malaya.com.ph/jan25/news4.htm
So far, he’s been one of the very few members of Congress who has the balls, the real courage, moral and physical, and the intelligence to stand up to and fight the Arroyo Mafia Family.
We must support Cayetano. If he fails, the Filipinos will fail themselves.
I say to Alan Cayetano, go, lad, go!
Thanks, Chabeli for this info..”Sotto & Melo Santiago bought homes in an expensive area-Hillsborough-in the Bay Area (San Francisco).”

Yup, ipaubaya ng mga “retirees” ang pagpapatakbo ng bansa sa mga bata na mga “progressive minded”.
this is about current news:
A good citizen’s interpretation of the NEWS
PNP: Iloilo Assault Team Lacked Force
The Philippine National Police said Thursday the officers that assaulted the Iloilo Provincial Capitol last week should undergo re-training courses for failing to use enough force during the siege.
abs-cbnNEWS.com (1/25/2007 6:10:19 PM)
Interpretation: Members of the assault team lacked the guts, are not hungry enough, and do not have yet the experience in violating human rights like their Metro Manila counterparts. Indeed they need more training and some incentives to really live up to their monster image. When nobody is killed or get hospitalized, then not enough force was applied to scare other officials marked for suspension or dismissal.
Re Yuko’s observation:
“I bet you the reason why they do not implement a compulsory education in the Philippines is because they do not want the Filipinos to be intelligent voters! ”
Seems to point to that direction indeed!
Here’s the latest. Sa akin niyo unang malalaman ang balitang ito. Before I be accused again of posting garbage and spreading rumor, I want you to verify and confirm this yourselves. Ang masasabi ko lang ay galing ito sa mga kakilala kong sources sa opposition. Take it or leave it. Iyan ang pinakahuling balitang nakuha ko. Salamat at Mabuhay!

Re: “Why are Trillanes and Gringo in jail in the first place? ”
I don’t know why Gtringo is in jail and feel sorry that Trillanes and his comrades (many of whom were the bravest, the most upright and patriotic junior officers of the AFP) but Trillanes failed in his bid to topple Gloria so he’s in prison.
Perhaps, Trillanes and his group didn’t really want to blow up Oakwood but only wanted to call attention of the people, the media and to tap on the good people to listen to their grievances. So that when they had been heard, they surrendered and nobody was hurt. If that was truly their objective, then they succeeded… their objective attained.
I would like to give Trillanes and his group the benefit of the doubt, hence the above thought; on the other hand, if their mutiny (actually, based on what I’ve read, one could conclude that their act was a botched coup d’état rather than just plain mutiny) was actually botched by none other but by themselves, i.e., because they had meant to go through with a REAL coup d’état for an objective even if it meant sacrificing their lives but failed because they got scared at the last minute and surrendered, then I will have serious misgivings about Trillanes and his friends.
I hope your advice reaches him. I’m not sure if he got my message regarding the OECD and the Brigade des Finances. He is one tough cookie. This is the kind of people we need in government.
Schumey,
I hope it reaches him too. I would be happy to lend him or his exec asst a hand.
Thanks Anna, I’ll relay the message to him.
Si Recto “neutral” daw! Hmmm… he must be a believer in the Swiss dogma of being “neutral”.
Or perhaps, Recto has become a Eunuch.
A few things to ponder about Atong Ang’s turnaround: To save his own ass, he recanted his story and pinned down Erap. Ang abogado ni Ang tauhan ni Singson. Ang’s mother and family were reportedly harassed. Death penalty was abolished partly or mainly to allow Ang to return home. Two months in jail proved to be too much even to the most loyal friend. The brainwashing, intimidation and even threat. Mismo si Ang sinabi niya na iniipit siya ng Malacanang kahit na nasa Amerika pa siya. Singson and Defensor have visited him on several occasions. Kayo na ang magsabi kung wala o meroon kinalaman ang Malacanang sa pagbaligtad ni Ang lalo na ngayong election.
Naks! Si Recto “neutral” daw! heheheh!
Anna,
Mr. Vilma Santos has no balls to commit himself to something good! Is this not the type of person that will sell the country to the highest bidder?!
Anna:”Perhaps, Trillanes and his group didn’t really want to blow up Oakwood but only wanted to call attention of the people, the media and to tap on the good people to listen to their grievances. So that when they had been heard, they surrendered and nobody was hurt. If that was truly their objective, then they succeeded… their objective attained.”
*****
You said it, Anna. That was how it was to me, and why Trillanes and Company were easy to believe Cimatu that their grievances would be heard and nothing untoward would happen to them. They were actually tricked!
They were not actually being stupid. Oftentimes, people who are sincere and have no evil thoughts can be as naive and easy to be deceived!
ellen ..
am surprised and really impressed.
sangkatutak na ang dami ng posting.
media kailangan bilisan at piliin lang
ang mga gustong basahin.
anna de brux ….
thanks, binabasa mo ang entries ko.
tungkol sa tanong ko, medio patuya
ang dating. meron naman akong sagot.
tungkol kay trillanes, buti nakulong
siya, nag uumpisa na ang ketong niya. may negosyo sa siya, taksi, at ginagamit na ang pagka opisyal niya sa military. kailangan kasi yun kahit maliit lang ang negosyo mo. kaya talagang di niya masikmura. at buti naka enroll
siya sa NCPAG at nasulat niya yung mga case study ng corruption sa PN.
Para sariwain sa mga bloggers I am posting here yung lumabas sa Malaya na corruption sa Navy lamang (imagine mo kung buong AFP). Medio Mahaba puede na lang segurong gawan ng link ni ellen, para eh click na lang ng mga interesado. here it is.
“Oftentimes, people who are sincere and have no evil thoughts can be as naive and easy to be deceived!”
Agree.
Nonetheless, Trillanes should have exhausted all that was possible by confronting his FOIC on his charges concerning thievery in the Navy, after all his UP thesis was already an open secret within the Navy.
Instead, he decided to go it alone with Honasan who was not his commanding officer at the highest level.
I do realize, he was naive and got tricked.
The moral of the story – NO SURRENDER!
Jay,
Corruption is not a Philippine Navy monopoly. It’s all over the AFP, GHQ included as well as in DND.
Anna,
The way I understood the report and transmissions from Manila was that Trillanes was talking to people on top at the AFP about the anomalies they were complaining about, but when they did not listen, he went to Malacanang as a last resort. The bogus president, being part of the anomaly, did not do anything of course. Thus, the attempt to make it public via media exposure, etc. at the Oakwood.
He might have been talking to the CSAFP but HE WAS (although is still one) A NAVY OFFICER… Chain of command dictates that he should speak to his FOIC if he cannot talk to his immediate CO because he belongs to that service.
Particularly in 1999 when he could have done it with no threat to his life.
What I disapproved of is that he erred in his judgement by going to Honasan first.
That’s wrong! Even when he submitted his grievances to Gloria, twas too late.
If I had been his FOIC when he did what he did, I WOULD HAVE PLACED HIM UNDER ARREST RIGHT AWAY and not released him without having faced a court martial first.
He cannot expect to correct a wrong by doing another wrong.
In 2003, after he submitted his grievances to Gloria, his FOIC then committed a blunder by just placing him “under protection” and releasing him after making him sign a waiver.
He wasn’t arrested.
And by the way, I told his FOIC then (2003) that he committed a monumental blunder re releasing Trillanes!
His FOIC said he wanted to be a father like figure but I said, then he behaved like an idiotic father.
Point is Anna, it’s easier said than done. The guy must have approached a lot of people as spokesperson of his group whose voices were not being heard. Honasan must have been suggested to them to approach since he was with the government but still considered one of them. I just don’t know if it was Honasan who suggested that he should bring the matter to Malacanang for proper action.
Alam mo naman ang sistema sa Pilipinas. Ipagpapasa-pasa ka no matter how much you want to go through proper protocol.
Yuko,
True, easier said than done but he FAILED to approach the ONE OFFICER he should have approached instead of going all over the place, assuming he did, in 1999 – as a NAVY OFFICER, he should have gone to his FOIC then which I know he didn’t, not by a long shot!
He says too in his UP thesis that Commo Domingo tried to eliminate corruption; NOT TRUE! Absolutely not! Commo Domingo, Class 69 was as corrupt as his classmates but of course, very close to HONASAN.
Commo Domingo DID NOT eliminate corruption in the Phil Fleet! On the contrary, he had a hand in many of the purchases.
I meant, corrupt purchases!
tungkol kay Chiz Escudero seguro huli
siya sa iboboto ko. Dahil sa tatay niya
na naging instrumento ng magasawang Marcos
noong Martial Law. Nabalita pa na ang tatay niyang dating Secretary of Agriculture ay naging high class buyer ni Imelda of Australian cattle na kung saan sa Mindoro dinadala isang negosyo ni Imelda noon. Nakakahiya, tulad ni Jaime Laya at Roman Cruz, Jr. na pawang instrumento ng smiling martial law. Mas mabigat kaysa military ang pag yurak nila sa bansa.
Aber, tanungin si Chiz noong panahon ng tatay niya at ngayon may pagbabago ba ang buhay ng magsasaka sa Sorsogon?
Si Chiz noong panahon ni Erap, tagapagtanggol siya ng gobierno sa Debate program ni Monsod.
Si Chiz magaling magsalita, pero opportunista ang dating. Parang high sipsip potential.
Parang dikya, bata pa walang backbone. Ayun takbo kay Gloria sa Malacanang to receive an award, lipad sa Davao to escort Gloria. Kung may backbone yan nasabi niya sana kay Danding hindi tama sa principio niya ang umakay kay Gloria. Ninang pa niya. Kung ano ang puno siya ang bunga. Kaya sa Pilipinas hangga’t may dynasty tepok ang mahihirap. Maski si Claro Recto sinira ni Ralph Cuneta.
Si Chiz kung baga may bakbakan, tatayo yan sisigaw, kakampi sa isang panig, pag medio baka matamaan na siya, lalayo yan, uupo na lang at manood. tignan ninyo sa bakbakan ni Cayetano at Mike Arroyo. Nasaan si Chiz? Maski sa mga gang ni erap sa kanto yan si Chiz, safety first yan.
Pero Dahil bata at nasa kabataan ang pag asa ng bayan sabi ni Rizal, pag hindi minagic ang ngalan ko sa presinto, iboboto ko siya, pang labing dalawa.
I don’t want to blacken the record of these Navy officials gratuitously. Just that Trillanes’ papers contain some inaccuracies.
Commo Domingo served his nation well but Trillanes cannot make me gobble something that I know is not true.
Ellen, seems the title of the blog post here “Habang maaga, magka-alaman na” is very à propos!
Anna and Ystakei
salamat sa elaboration ninyo tungkol kay Trillanes at Gringo.
Anyway, did you hear about Manny Pacquiao’s recent application for 20 gun permits for his security that was approved by Comelec? Bakit ganoon karami na bodyguards ang kailangang ni Manny? Tinalo pa niya ang Mafia Boss. What ever happened to the murder case against his bodyguard who killed a civilian in Gensan? Ang kasalanan lang ng pinatay na biktima pinintasan si Manny. The guy is either running for Mayor or Congressman. Just imagine if he is already a politician. Ilan kaya ang bodyguard niya?
Anna,
His reason must be because he could not trust his FOIC, which is logical! So, he has to tell someone else he could trust. I would do the same if I were in the Philippine Navy and everybody looks corrupt to me! He could have resigned first and expose the anomalies in the AFP, but what guaranty was there that he would not be lynched? I think this is also the reason why a lot many soldiers there now, especially the low-ranking officers, are not as bold to do something to correct what is wrong. Hanggang Internet na lang sila, hindi pa mapaniwalaan!!!
Pathetic, it is indeed what’s happened to Trillanes and friends, and the whole AFP!
Yuko,
Then he misplaced his trust. Wrong judgement call!
In the military, they have to face the music squarely. How could he have not trusted his FOIC but trusted Domingo?
Let’s say for the sake of argument that at that instance (in 1999) when he was making his investigations, gathering info for his report, he could have found something incriminating his FOIC so didn’t trust him but then, why should he clear Commo Domingo who was one of those who was corrupt in the Phil Fleet?
In other words, there was bad judgement call and for a Navy officer of his so-called intelligence and depth, to have erred by miles and miles, something is amiss.
Therefore, I prefer to reserve judgement. I cannot at this point, approve of what he has done because of the missing dots.
Also, in 1999 things were different from what the AFP finds itself today or since Gloria acceeded to power in 2001.
While corruption was prevalent in 1999, the AFP had not been tied to Gloria at all lock stock and barrel so Trillanes could have gone to his FOIC then and as I said, he didn’t so why not?
My personal take is that Two or three members of Class 69 and Honasan used and abused young, idealistic Trillanes and his friends
Granted, a young, idealist of a navy lieutenant is easily impressionable particularly when his superiors give him importance.
My question is what makes us so sure that Trillanes has gone beyond that?
Yuko,
I would like to tell Trillanes and his friends that I was one of those who defended their stand after they surrendered in that I felt that they had the courage of their convictions to face military charges according to the Articles of War.
More so when Gloria’s people including General Efren Abu decided to back out of a gentleman’s agreement with Trillanes’ group that they would not be facing civilian courts.
It was traydoran of the lowest category. I believe they cannot and should not trust this government anymore.
However, having said that, I reserve my judgement on Trillanes and his acts or failure to act in military, navy officer fashion before the ascent of Gloria to power.
I don’t see any difference in 1999 and 2001, Anna. The corruption in the AFP has been ongoing since I can remember especially when FVR was manning it. He wrote his term paper in 1999, and his superiors could have read it, but they did not do anything to correct the mistakes and anomalies he pointed out.
Then, finally, he blew his tops and with his friends did the last thing they thought could trigger some action. You’re right, they failed and now they suffer but I won’t condemn him without fair trial. He has to be heard, and if there is anything he should be punished for, is how he put a lot many lives in danger at the time of the Oakwood mutiny.
That, however, will depend on the evidences of the explosives they actually boasted they planted around the said premises. Over here, it can mean termination from service and a prison term (no suspended sentence allowed for cases where human lives are likely to be sacrificed).
Still, I am willing to excuse this fellow and challenge him to prove his worth as the antidote against corruption that he professes he loathes as in SAKIT NG ‘PINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!
I understand Yuko.
But I am a militarist and for as long as he carries the title of Lieutenant PN, I will treat him as one.
Just as you have written above, Anna, the FOIC also is to blame for what Trillanes did in 2003. All the more reason why I am convinced the guy and his fellow mutineers had reached their limits when they staged their publicity stunt, which it was more like.
On the other hand, you’re right. Dapat sana patay kung patay! At least, I did not see Trillanes surrender. Iyong mga kasama niya ang nag-surrender.
Also, what I don’t understand is why he trusted and cleared Commo Domingo of corruption?
Anna de brux
Dami mong kilala sa military. Check list nga tayo. Seguro they don’t remember me or had not known me kasi I was only a barrio boy. Kung itong dating nakilala ko na mga PEMAYERS ay buhay pa at kakandidato pagka senador iboboto ko silang lahat dahil sa tingin ko walang corrupt sa kanila. Tama ba ako. Sino ba ang hindi ko dapat iboto dahil marami sa kanila hindi ko nasubaybayan ang military career. Kilala mo ba sila. Do we have in common, a
Little knowledge of good Pemayers? Heto sila:
Marcos Soliman – dating superintendent
Jose MCDL Zumel – dating Baron
Raul Imperial – dating battalion commander
Nap Angeles – dating Baron
Bayani Fabic – sinampal, pero matagal na sgt sa lower house
Cesar Go – dating Baron
Sawamgpunka – Thai di puedeng magsenador
Tagumpay Jardiniano – hero ni Cory, bata ni Tabako
Felix Guerrero – topnotch bn co
Oy Anna, iboboto kong lahat yan, sino ang dapat
Pag aralan ko muna bago iboto?
This is like: tell you who I know so you will also know a little of me. And not the other way around.
Not-alone 1000;
I have a highest admiration for Ellen–Superb intellectual–
I admire the warrior,too.
They can iron there differences sa tagal na nilang pagsasamahan dito.I don’t want to see warrior disappear,he is the spark plug in this blog to keep the engine running.Everyone has contributed,let’s stop criticizing each other and respect everyones opinion.Don’t you think so.
jay cynikho,
maganda ang kwento mo sa father and son na Escudero.
meron ka bang kwento sa father and son na Arroyo?
Jay Cynikho (jay seneca in PCIJ?), the information you have on Chiz Escudero’s father is faulty. The brahma cattle purchase as you attributed to Salvador Escudero as your reason Chiz is low on your list is unfounded.
The cattle was purchased by a biotech scientist under Imelda’s Minstry of Human Settlements in the 70’s for his research experiments which aimed to use genetic modification technology in support of Imelda’s vision of taking the Philippines abreast with the first world in food technology. I can’t recall the doctor’s name now neither can I find his card but I do know he was hired later to the wildlife preservation projects in Mindoro and Palawan to breed in captivity the pilandok, Palawan Bearcat, tarsier, tamaraw, Philippine crocodile, Philippine Eagle (in Davao) among other species nearing extinction. A friend of ours even sold the doctor his VW Brasilia for use inside the Palawan farm.
He was then breeding huge cattles that produced tender meat, were less susceptible to disease, and feeds on locally available stuff. This was done in parallel with the other projects of Marcos such as Bt-corn, miracle rice, GM-tubers (potatoes). Marcos tapped the brightest minds during his time and many farmers now still benefit from them.
I still remember I was in a motorized banca with a Deputy Minister to inspect their farm tractors, which my company supplied, en route to their experimental farm in Caliraya Laguna when another banca with armed NPA soldiers stopped out boat in the middle of the lake. I thought it was an ambush because one of the men said “Si secretary yan”. The one I suppose was their leader then said, “Okay na po sir, magandang araw po”. In the farm, I saw the huge breed jay cynikho was referring to. (In fact, everything in the farm was huge, from fist sized calamansi to tilapia weighing more than a kilo each.)
It’s bad enough that Salvador Escudero is being wrongly blamed for importing these cattle (was it illegal, in the first place?), especially if it was impossible for him to influence a project under a different minister, never mind if it was ONLY Imelda Marcos’. What’s worse is that it is now also being used to discredit his son Chiz Escudero for a non-existent sin.
It’s pathetic logic in its worst!
Of course, sa eleksyong eto ay si bansot naman talaga ang
punong tema dito. Si Ralph Recto ay wag nyo nang aasahan na magiging oposisyon yan identified na yan sa administration at pag bumalimbing wag nyon iboto at ang dapat nating iboto ay yung true and true oppositionist lang. Vote straight UNO at wag nyo nang isali ung bumabaligtad kasi personal interest ang nananalaytay sa dugo nila gaya ni bansot matinding sumipsip ng dugo ng mga mamamayan.
Ma’m Ellen, pasensya na pero sakit na ng mata ko sa kababasa ng mga SINGIT NA POST nitong mga “I” pipol na na-nagba-blog dito sa IYONG forum. There are times that I just log-on to read the high intellectual exchanges between ystakei, anna de brux, schumey, alitaptap, Mrivera, and others with their same caliber. But this past weeks, certain visitors in your house have become to annoying for most honest bloggers. Sana po ay magawan ng paraan na talagang mabawasan if not totally erradicate such nuisance visitors here in your house. I am sure you know who they are, and they themselves knew what they are. Again, salamat at mabuhay ka Ma’m Ellen.
Thanks, Tongue T, for the clarification on Chiz’s father. People in this blog should come up with stories like yours to kill any attempt to mudsmear even a decent man like Chiz’s father. The grandfather was also a good and honest man.
I don’t suppose Chiz would be the black sheep of his family, especially not for the wannabe criminal calling herself president.
Ah, basta gusto ko si Chiz E. Approve without thinking sa akin ‘yang tao na yan. heheh!
yuko,
wannabe criminal pa? e pusakal na nga ‘yan, ah? kung pwede nga lang i-lethal injection tapos i-silya elektrika tapos ibitin saka pagbabarilin ng 50 caliber para siguradong hindi na mabubuhay uli at makapagsabog ng lagim.
Mrivera,
Ang lupit niyan a..Gutay-gutay ang labas niyan.Yan ba ang version mo ng transparency?
thanks for correcting me in
the misinfo I heard during martial
law. I am sorry that I purveyed
that wrong information. I really
have doubts too. so I am still
voting for Chiz. but I maintain
my other comments on my observations
on Chiz being a potential trapo.
But those signs are not enough not
to vote for him. Only let’s be watchful
of his present behavior in Congress.
He could be a future Mike Defensor.
That’s my last word on Chiz.
On his Dad, I still strongly believed that those
who worked in the Martial Law kitchen of
Marcos, especially those cabinet cooks
cannot claimed that HINDI SILA NAULINGAN.
History is harsh to the few who understands,
history is harsh even for the bright ones like
First Prime Minister Virata, Jaime Laya, Roman Cruz, Jun Leido, S Escudero, etc. history is kind even to the not so bright ones like Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Gregorio del Pilar etc.
When Chiz E becomes trapo, ipamumunas ko rin s’ya!
All politicians ARE potential trapos.
Sinabi mo pa, Tongue T. I know a lot of people who served in the Marcos government but they are decent. Muntik ngang patayin when he exposed the crooks in his department. Buti na lang member ng church namin ang nakakita sa kaniya, when he was left half-dead in a plantation somewhere. He had since then sought asylum in the US. Nagkaroon ng phobia ayaw nang bumalik ng Pilipinas kasi buhay pa ang mga nagtangkang pumatay sa kaniya.
Wrong logic iyong sinasabi ni Jay, especially when one has his own set of standards and try to influence the crooks around him to be honest despite the corruption although I, for one, would stomp the dust on my feet for these crooks, meaning, stay away from them rather than risk being influenced by the crooks.
I would not even in fact do what Chiz did escorting the Burot even for friendship’s, etc. sake, not even for Danding Cojuangco!
You bet, better watch out for Chiz, even so that he cannot be corrupted!
apoy, kulang pa nga yan, eh. kung ikukumpara sa napakahabang listahan ng walang katapusan niyang pang-aabuso sa taong bayan.
I just don’t understand why some guys here keep on blaming gloria, im not pro-gloria but i think she’s doing her best for the country. U should learn how to appreciate her efforts to improve our economy, remember di madali ang trabaho ng isang presidente. di niya nakikita lahat ng nangyayari dahil iisa lang ang katawan niya. ang kung may dapat sisihin wlang iba kundi yung mga taong naatasan na maglingkod sa mga local governments (mayors, congressmen, etc). Take note, hindi niya iniluklok ang sarili niya sa malacañang but its the filipino people na naniniwala sa kakayahan niya!
mangangalakal,
re: “hindi niya iniluklok ang sarili niya sa malacañang but its the filipino people na naniniwala sa kakayahan niya!”
saan ka ba galing at naiwan ka yatang tulog sa pansitan? open your ears, and listen to the hello garci tapes. hindi ang taumbayan ang nagluklok kay gloria sa malakanyang, kungdi si garci at ang mga kurap na comelec officials at mga kurap ding afp generals na ngayon ay nagpapasasa sa yaman ng bayan.
open your eyes, at magbasa ka ng malaya, daily tribune, inquirer, etc. may mga on-line edition ang mga iyan. at mababasa mo duon ang mga kapalpakan ni arroyo at ang mga kampon niya, kung paano niyang binababoy ang saligang batas at mga institusyon ng ating republika.
open your heart, feel the anguish of our people, yung mga walang trabaho, yung hindi na halos makakain sa isang araw, yung mga napipilitan ipagbili ang lakas at talino sa mga dayuhan, yung mga kinitlan ng karapatan na mabuhay ng marangal at may dignidad.
yeah, malaki rin ang pananagutan ng mga lokal na opisyal, subalit mas malaki ang pananagutan ng pekeng pangulo na si arroyo, becoz she institutionalized cheating, lying, and corruption in the very fiber of her regime of greed and terror.
kung hindi mo pa rin maintindihan why we lay all the blame in arroyo’s feet, bahala ka na. sabi nga, kanya-kanyang opinyon naman yan at paniniwala.
isabel:
hindi lang si garci, comelec officials, at afp generals ang nagluklok kay gloria pidal dorobo!
nandyan din ang mga pnp generals at ang mukha tulad nina kiko pangilinan at raul gonzalez sampu ng mga kasamahan nito sa kongreso na nagbilangan noong May 2004 hanggang June 2004.
tanungin nyo rin ang sarili nyo , ano ba ang matunog na pinag-uusapan nila Juan de la Cruz noong July 2004?
ang populism sa pilipinas ay tinatalo lamang ng dayaan?anong klaseng sistema ito?
sa bansang indonesia, natuto na sila sa salitang popular. mula kay gusdur at megawati, ngayon nasaan na sila?
isang matatag at matikas na lider ang sumisimbolo sa bansang indones!
dito sa pilipinas, ginagamit ang lider na babae para ipang-psy war sa international scene.
conspiracy ang panapat sa mga popular na lider!
ibig sabihin delikado ang mga negosyo at economic interest sa mga popular na lider.
pero magbalik tayo kanila kiko at siraulo. sino sino sa palagay mo ang sinakyan ng mga kumag na ito?
sa pagkaka-alam ko, may mga sumakay din sa katapangan at sa pagka-popular ni Ninoy , bago at pagkapos ang August 1983.
nelbar,
tenks sa pagtutuwid. marami nga akong nakaligtaan sa listahan ng mga nagluklok kay gloria at ngayon ay nakikinabang sa kaban ng bayan. ang pagkakaalam ko, ang isa sa nanggagalaiti noon laban sa popular na si erap ay ang makati business club. sila ba ang tinutukoy mo sa iyong conspiracy theory? iyang si noted matayog din ang ambisyon nyan, gustong magpresidente, kaya sakay lang ng sakay sa bawat opportunity. ang tawag sa ganyan, oportunista.
sirit na, ano nga ba ang maiinit na isyu nuong july ’04?
isabel:
nakalimutan ko rin sa listahan ang korte suprema na pinamumunuan ni Hilario Davide na dating Comelec, myembro ng Pusyon Bisaya at member din ng ConCom ni Cory.
Matatandaan din noong 2002, noong kainitan ng isyu sa pederalismo at pagpapapalit ng porma at sistema ng gobyerno, sinabi ni Ed Angara na kung paabutin pa ng 2010, lalo lamang tayo magiging kulelat.
mangangalakal, sinumpong ako ng pagtatae sa pagsasabi mong hindi ka pro-gloria, pero maliwanag na ipinagtatanggol mo siya. magkano ka ba nabayaran?
aber, sabihin mo nga kung ano’ng maganda ang nagawa ng minamagaling mong pekeng magnanakaw na sinungaling at sumpunging asal batang pansamantalang permanenteng prangulo ng pilipinas na siyang unang unang tumayo sa entablado at sumasabog pa ang laway sa pagsigaw sa pagpapababa kay erap dahil sa atat niyang kagustuhang maupo sa malakanyang?
maganda ba ‘yung mga sinasabi niyang bumubuti ang ekonomiya pero mas lalong dumadami ang naghihikahos sa kahirapan?
kam on, open yur ays en meyk klos open klos open!
