Petilla withdraws, Cesar Montano in

I met for the first time Leyte Gov. Jericho Petilla last Tuesday at ABS-CBN when he and other Team GMA senatorial candidates guested at Pia Hontiveros’ Strictly Politics. He struck me as a decent fellow. I was even thinking of including him in my slate for the May elections.

Team GMA spokesman Ace Durano announced the withdrawal of Petilla and the entry of actor Cesar Montano to the ticket.

Durano said Petilla has decided to run for re-election as governor after his mother, Rep. Remedios Petilla, decided to retire from politics.

Durano said since Petilla was from Lakas, it was also the party that chose Montano. He said geography was also a consideration. Petilla is from the Visayas. So is Montano.

  1. pwede ba yan? nakapag file na ba ng candidacy si montano for senator?

    are we still allowed to make some replacements on our side too on our senate slate?

  2. bawal yang ganyang switcheroo na yan. hindi ba montano failed to file for his candidacy on time.

    and will COMELEC allow this shit to happen? first the cayetano controversy. and now this?

    can candidates change their mind and run for another position? like from senator, he plans instead to run for governor?

    does that mean their is still time for us to change our senate lineup too?

  3. pwede palang palitan ang isang kandidato for whatever reason (kulelat siya, running for another position etc.)

    kung mag drop out si kiram o singson o si magsaysay for whatever reason, si richard gomez kaya ang papalit sa kanila? LMAO! ridiculous!

    Ellen,

    Cesar Montano? Hindi ba siya yong “whiner” last Manila Film Festival dahil natalo yong pelikula niya? Hindi ba siya yong humamon sa kalaban ng kapatid niya sa boksing at pumasok sa ring para tulungan ang natatalong kapatid? At hinabol pa yong tumalo sa kapatid niya hanggang sa labas ng gym?

    Hay naku!…Manood na lang ako ng sine!

    Wow! Mukhang obvious na ‘PERA-PERA NA’ ang nangyayari sa ticket ng administrasyon! Sa interview kay Cesar ng Channel 7, eh ang sabi niya na bigla na lang daw ito nangyari paggising niya nitong umaga. Bakit? Dahil ba MALAKI ANG OFFER? At he cannot resist dahil kailangan niya ng pera! Tulad din nga usap-usapan kina Tito Sotto at Oreta na may offer na 150 million. Siguradong PERA NG BAYAN ang nilulustay ng administrasyon ni GMA para sa eleksyon na ito. Kawawang Pilipinas! IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!!!

  6. if this kind of shit is allowed to happen, and the admin gets away with it, then kalokohan na ito. let’s say singson changes his mind and decided to run for governor instead, i would not be surprised kung kunin ng admin si kiko pangilinan dahil “independent” ito.

    ridiculous, just ridiculous.

  7. luzviminda luzviminda

    Hahaha! Si Cesar? Ano ang magagawa niyan sa Senado? Hindi pwede ang PIKON sa Senado! At siya ay para lang magpe-PERSONAL APPEARANCE sa mga campaign sortie ng pekeng administrasyon! At magkano ang BAYAD? You make a guess! At siyempre, ang manager may porsiyento rin! Hahaha! IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!!!

  8. hey guys… let’s help Trillanes for Senator!!!

    Read this:

    The campaign period has just begun and already the family of detained Navy Lieutenant Antonio Trillanes IV, an opposition senatorial candidate, is considering selling one of their vehicles to raise more funds for his campaign, one of the rebel soldier’s volunteers told INQUIRER.net Thursday.

    At the same time, Trillanes’ supporters have learned to tighten their belts, preferring packed lunch to eating in restaurants and limiting campaign giveaways to a wallet-size calendar with a picture of Trillanes, to save on funds.

    Trillanes is facing a coup d’etat charge for allegedly being one of the leaders of a band of junior officers and soldiers that staged a shortlived uprising in July 27, 2003.

    “Pinag-iisipan na nga ni Tiny na ibenta yung isang van nila para maidagdag sa pangangampanya [Tiny is considering selling their van so that they can add the money for the campaign],” said retired Lieutenant Dominador Rull, a volunteer, on the plan of Trillanes’ older brother, Antonio “Tiny” Trillanes III.

    Because Trillanes could not campaign personally, his family, friends, and family members of rebel soldiers also detained at Fort Bonifacio have taken the cudgels for him and have been vigilant in attending the campaign sorties of the opposition.

    Unlike other candidates, Rull said they only had two vehicles for the motorcade and that the only campaign material that they had been distributing was a wallet-size picture-calendar of Trillanes.

    “Yung iba mga candies ipinamimigay [The others are even giving away candies]. Kami talagang wala. Ang baon nga lang naming tubig, biskwit, at saging [As for us, we really have nothing to give. What we have are water, biscuits, and bananas],” Rull said.

    While the candidates and their supporters have lunch in restaurants, Rull said they would just settle themselves in their vehicles to eat their packed lunch.

    Before they joined the motorcade on Thursday, Rull said they had to go to Trillanes to ask for money for gasoline.

    “Wala na kaming gas eh. Eh yung pension ko bukas pa darating. Binigyan nga ako ng P1,000 [We don’t have gas anymore. And my pension would only arrive tomorrow. He gave me P1,000],” Rull said, adding that classmates and friends of the detained officer have been contributing money for his campaign.

    Despite the financial woes, Rull said Trillanes was happy and was determined to pursue his candidacy.

    “Masaya siya pero aburido. Masaya siya kasi talagang maganda ang feedback sa kanya ng tao. Hinahanap nga siya ng mga tao [He is happy and at the same time miserable. He is happy because the people’s feedback on him is really heartwarming. People are looking for him],” Rull said.

    ” Minsan niyang ipinain ang kanyang buhay alang alang sa katotohanan….Nakulong sa kasalanan ng iba…At ngayon ay handa na sa pakikipaglaban sa kalayaan.”

    Bigyan siya ng pagkakataon…..Kami dito sa ibang bansa ay para kay Trillanes!!!

    Too long a campaign period is one reason why any candidate that looks not to make it can easily be sub by another. But that is still stupid. Once the filing deadline has passed, the only exemption is if one dies before election. Well, I don’t think there will ever be a chance for anyone to stick to the rules anyways, so what good is the rules if everyone is hell bent to break them anyways…

  10. luzviminda luzviminda

    Roland4u,

    Me and my family will surely vote for Trillanes! And All The Legitimate Opposition! It is time to show the fake administration that the people DISLIKE them! Noon pa nga dapat IBINASURA ang pekeng administrasyon ni Gloria!

  11. luzviminda luzviminda

    Yes Ystakei, dapat nating bantayan ang ating mga boto, at pati na rin ang mga boto sa mga absentee voting, dahil isa rin iyan sa mga dinadaya ni Gloria. At dapat maging vigilant ang lahat ng sektor ng society, lalo na ng mga media(press), mga religious people, at pati na rin ang mga participants sa eleksiyon like the watchers, teachers at lahat na! Bantayan ang boto upang maalis na tayo sa SUMPA na dala ni Gloria Engakantada! At Bantayan din ang mga madadayang COMELEC people, sundalo at pulis!

  12. Tignan ninyo ang kaplastikan ni Bansot! Ininsulto nila si FPJ noon na isang hamak na artista lang, pero ngayon puro pipitsuging artista pa ang isinisingit sa Team Bansot nila! Ano iyan? Insultong malaki iyan sa mga pilipino as a matter of fact! Ngek! :-O

  13. Come to think of it. Itong ginagawa niya ay malinaw na pambabastos sa Senado na gusto niyang matanggal para libre na ang mga kabulastugan niya! Susmarya. Puede ba patalsikin na iyan, ngayon na pronto?!

  14. luzviminda luzviminda

    Ystakei,
    Kasi lalangawin ang mga camapaign sortie nila kung walang artista. Kailangan nilang sapilitang manghakot ng mga taga-gobyerno, estudyante at mga bayaran!

  15. Luz,

    Ang nakikita ko dito na gusto talaga ni Bansot na siya ang magko-control ng eleksyon. Pag Opposition tapos na ang pagpapalista, pero kapag group niya, kahit malapit na ang eleksyon puede pang magparehistro sa Comelec. Favoritism pa ang dating ha?! Ano iyan wala na talagang batas na sinusunod itong kumag na ito? Kunyari lang ang hirit ni Abalos re Pacman. Takot din iyan na matanggal!

  16. luzviminda luzviminda

    Let us not forget that the Crime of ELECTION CHEATING is a crime not only against the people but AGAINST GOD! Because it is TWHARTING the WILL OF GOD! Di ba nga ‘VOX POPULI,VOX DEI’! And sad to say, that some sectors of society and some people allowed it and are still allowing it. Kaya tayo ngayon ay nasa MATINDING SUMPA dahil kay Gloria Engakantada! BLESSINGS will come pag naalis na si Gloria at mga kampon niya!!! Now, what is important is that, the real will of the people is what will be counted in the ballots! IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!!!

  17. chi chi

    Cesar Montano? Sino ‘yon????????!

  18. Just talked with Gov. Petilla. He said Comelec rules allow substitution up to 7 days before election day as long as the substitute is also from the same party.

    I asked him when Montano became a Lakas member, he said he doesn’t know but it was Lakas who nominated him.

  19. Chi, Cesar Montano is movie actor and director. he had a taste of Hollywood when he was included in the movie “The Great Raid” a WWII movie with Benjamin Bratt.

  20. Luz,

    OK ito a: IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!!!
    Tapos sabayan ng
    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!

    Oh I remember now, Ellen. Thanks.

    Oo, I saw that movie and I liked. Hindi lang kaagad nag-register. heheh!

  22. Oh! Geez, why don’t they just transform Congress into one HUGE Cinema complex?

    Kikita pa ang pu**********nang Gloria na iyan!

  23. Bastusan na talaga!

    Imagine kung magkatotoo pa iyang sinabi ni John! Holy cow!

    Sige na nga, coup d’etat na lang pero led by Lim, Querubin (not by Miranda) and by Morales….

  24. PV,

    Not cinema ang gusto ni Pidal—Sabungan!

    I remember being taken with my tourists long, long time ago to a cockfighting in Makati or was it Sta. Ana where they had this dome like building where they had this cockfighting. Parang miniature Araneta Coliseum as a matter of fact. I think that is how Pacman evisions Congress where he hopes to make money. Anak ng tipaklong talaga! Ummph, can’t say bad words!!! 🙁

  25. (Ellen, The following was part of Blair’s speech before UK Parliament when he was selling Bush’s War on Iraq to the British people – by substituting Gloria for Saddam & Iraq & the year in the speech, I believe the speech can very well apply to Pinas situation, which means that it’s high time for Blair-Bush coalition to declare war on Gloria and hang her too.)

    Blair’s statement to Parliament – Excerpts:

    “I accept fully that those opposed to this course of action share my detestation of Saddam. Who could not? Iraq is a wealthy country that in 1978, the year before Saddam seized power, was richer than Portugal or Malaysia.

    “Today it is impoverished, 60 per cent of its population dependent on Food Aid.

    “Thousands of children die needlessly every year from lack of food and medicine. Four million people out of a population of just over 20 million are in exile.”

  26. And if some of the star-ranks in the AFP have any brain at all, they should mimic (after all, they can only mimic great military figures but, sigh! they still fail to mimic correctly) the following:

    “Whatever consent we may have had in the first place, may have turned to tolerance and has largely turned to intolerance.” – Gen Sir Richard Dannatt

    Could very well be:

    “Whatever consent we, STAR-RANKING OFFICERS OF THE AFP may have had AT THE HELM OF THE AFP in the first place, may have turned to tolerance and has largely turned to intolerance, THEREFORE WE MUST RESIGN!”- General H Esperon, CSAFP

  27. Yuko,

    Sabungan – siguro nga. Pero talo rin sila dahil ang Araneta Coloseum is already the title holder of the largest sabungan in the world.

    But I wouldn’t mind turning Malacanang into a DOG FIGHT ARENA!

  28. Just I thought, this guy thinks he’s got the goods to be a senator. He’s been raring to go but no takers. If I were him, I don’t want to be a panakip-butas. Walang prinsipyo.

  29. ellen, mukhang nagbu-bullshit lang si petilla. from senator, bigla siyang tatakbo uli bilang governor?

    alam nyo, kung ginawa ng opposition yung switcheroo na ginawa ni petilla-montano, hindi yan papayagan ng COMELEC at ng arroyo admin. romulo makalintal will make a big stink out of it, at mapapahiya ang opposition.

    they’re stuck with petilla, and i don’t believe his reasons na magre-retire ang nanay niya kaya siya dapat tumakbo bilang governor ulit. the admin just thought petilla is a bad candidate. and now they’re bending the rules to get ahead of the opposition.

    umpisa pa lang ginagago na ng administration ang opposition at mga botante sa eleksyon na ito. i think this is bullshit. the comelec should be strongly criticized if they allowed this kind of crap.

  30. Schumey,

    Re: “Walang prinsipyo.” Understatment in my humble opinion.

    NONE of them over at Gloria Tiyanak’s camp knows what PRINSIPYO mean.

    I guess this actor believes that because he’s not making it big time in Hollywood, his best bet for making loads and stacks of money is to become a member of the Senate.

    Heck, more than that – he can display his acting skills to a CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.

    And if he’s lucky, Gloria Tiyanak and her fatso husband and lil fatso moral dwarf family will SUMMON him to do a song and dance number in Malacanang once in a blue moon.

  31. kasi hindi makakalusot ang opposition if they did what the administration did.

  32. this was what the admin said 11 hours ago…

    http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/topofthehour.aspx?StoryId=66990

    Team Unity will not replace Petilla in Senate slate

    The administration’s Team Unity will not replace Leyte Gov. Carlos Jericho Petilla in case he drops his senatorial bid.

    “If ever he (Petilla) would (withdraw from the Senate race), we are not considering anybody,” lawyer Grace Maduramente, Team Unity’s spokeswoman, told ABS-CBN’s Magandang Umaga Pilipinas in an interview Friday.

    Petilla on Thursday revealed that he is unsure on whether to pursue his senatorial candidacy because he wants his mother, Leyte First District Rep. Remedios Petilla, to succeed him. The elder Petilla plans to retire from politics this year.

    Maduramente assured that the governor’s decision will be respected by the Palace and the coalition.

    “Rest assured that the President will respect whatever his decision will be. At the same time, if he would decide to leave, this will not affect the team’s platform,” she said.

    Reports have identified detained former senator Gregorio Honasan and actor Richard Gomez as possible replacements for Petilla if he decides to seek reelection.

    Maduramente, however, said that from the start, Gomez was never considered, while Honasan cannot be included in the administration ticket due to his alleged involvement in plots to overthrow the Arroyo administration.

    “Our program is we are always pro-law so it would be impossible to take somebody who has been accused of plotting against the government,” she said.

    She added that Optical Media Board chairman Edu Manzano and actor Cesar Montano were considered as “guest candidates” of the ticket but they refused due to personal reasons.

  33. i think the admin is panicking. but at the same time it is flouting and violating the rules of fair play.

    but what do you expect from the admin and it’s lapdog COMELEC?

    first, it’s the nuisance candidate bullshit with cayetano, now this.

    sa umpisa pa lang, the opposition is already getting screwed in the ass. i’m very pessimistic about this elections. the way the rules are being bent and misinterpreted, round one pa lang, ginagago na ng admin ang taongbayan at ang opposition.

  34. “sa umpisa pa lang, the opposition is already getting screwed in the ass. ”

    They should not hesitate adopting the same modus operandi, screw them in the ass too but with a difference – shoot them after screwing them.

  35. Come on!

    John, if Gloria and her tiyanak candidates are hell bent on screwing election rules and regulations to suit them, what chance has the opposition in the elections?

    At this stage, any candidate in the opposition with half a brain should should see that there’s a repeat of the 2004 election scenario in the worst degree.

    They should adopt the same Gloria tactics but with a difference – go for the fucking kill. You can’t fight Gloria’s army of election cheats who possess heavy artillery with bamboo sticks. No way! They might as well give up, saves the nation a lot of money.

  36. Petilla probably realized how huge the other candidates are getting kaya umatras. The fight has just started but its seems the administration is knocking itself out before we even reach midpoint.

  37. artsee artsee

    Sa pagpasok ni Cesar Montano sa TEAM (Tiyanak’s Extreme Amnesia More), magtatampo sina Edu Manzano at Richard Gomez. Si Edu ang naunang napabalitaang kasama tapos tanggal. Alam niyo ba kung bakit si Cesar ang napili? Dahil kay Singson. Sigurado kong pinilit ipinasok ni Singson ang bata niya. Wika nga, ibigay kay Cesar ang kay Cesar at kay Singson ang kay Singson.

  38. “cesar montano filed his candidacy on feb. 16, one day after the deadline. ”

    Bakit nakapasok? After the deadline is after the deadline maski saan so paano nakapasok yan?

  39. http://www.mb.com.ph/issues/2006/09/04/MAIN2006090473482.html

    The Comelec said that the filing of certificates of candidacy and manifestation of intent to participate in party-list election starts on Jan. 15, 2007 and ends on Feb. 12, 2007. The filing of certificates of candidacy for senatorial positions and for those who intend to participate in the party-list polls will end on Feb. 12, 2007.

  40. If we are to go by Artsee’s input, one is tempted to think or imagine that Chavit Singson, the real-life Pinoy mafia don, must have put a gun on the temple of Abalos… kaya nakapasok iyong artista niya maski late na (pareho sa Godfather film starring Marlon Brando.)

    ang liham ni cesar*

    chavit, kung kaya mo, kaya ko rin. akala mo ikaw lang? ako ma’y tatakbo rin.

    utol, impuntong alas dose ngayon, handugan natin ng ligalig ang mga markadong hudas na mga taga-oposisyon. warfreak: walang sinasanto, walang pinapatawad yata ako! Bagaman sanggano at pusakal…at alyas boy tigas: ang probinsyanong wais rin, ako nama’y maaasahang kasangga kahit kailan.

    huwag sanang mag-alala, gov. (singson), ako’y mananabas ng mabuting kapalaran. kapag nag-abot ang langit at lupa…ang mga boto ng mayayaman at mga boto ng masa…ang bukas ay akin at siyempre sa iyo rin!

    ‘di ito silakbo lang ng damdamin o panaghoy sa suba (the call of the river). subali’t ito’y para sa ating bansa at kanyang mamamayang wala nang iibigin pang iba…ating inang bayan na malaon ko nang minimithing tulungan. ito’y aking adhikaing mala-bayani tulad nang kay jose rizal.

    sa senado, ang sagot ng puso ko. dito, lahat ng nais kong mabuti para sa bayan ay magagawa ko. ‘pagka’t ako ang batas: general karingal…este…ako na ang gagawa ng batas: senador manhilot…

    dati-rati’y batas ko’y bala, ngayo’y BALA KO NA ANG BATAS!

    kahit na ako’y nangingiming makasama ang mga baliktaran: si ace at si daisy…oops…sina ed, tito, at si teysie…‘di natin papayagang ma-hostage ang pangulong gloria sa maaaring maging senadong oposisyon. bagong buwan na at ating paiigtingin ang lakas sambayanan (people power) sa pamamagitan ng balota. a’la lipa massacre o antipolo massacre ang gagawin natin sa mga dating kapartido nila! isigaw natin, kaibigan…

    kaya’t ikaw na taga-UNO o ikaw na taga-GO, bilang na ang araw mo!!
    ‘pagka’t ikaw na taga-kabila, kasalanan ang buhayin ka!!!

    haaay…siya nga pala…bago ko limutin…nawa’y ako’y pakinggan…akin ring ipagtatapat…

    gov., type kita, walang kokontra. ang aking nasasaloob ay parang lihim ng golden buddha. hiram na mukha lamang ang aking pagka-machete. ako’y maglaladlad na…puso sa puso, ibig ko ay relasyon mula sa ‘yo, aking irog. manalo, matalo, mahal kitachavit, ako’y nagsusumamo, bihagin ang dalagang ito

    Ate PV, lahat ay puwede kay Tiyanak at hindi puwede sa kanyang mga kalaban. Hawak nila ang Comelec. Pati PNP, AFP at mga titsers sa darating na halalan. Buti kahit papaano dito sa ating grupo may nakapansin. Bakit wala man lang nagreklamo sa panig ng oposisyon? Tawagan ko nga sina Pareng Binay at Manong Ernie. Ibabalita ko na lang ang sagot nila diyan. Busy lang ako ngayon dahil nagbibilang ako ng perang pamigay sa mga tao dito sa Chinese New Year. Medyo nauubos na ang mga pulang lucky money envelope ko. Kaya nga iniwasan ko na ang mga barya at ginawang $400 na lang bawa’t isa. May mga 200 akong inaanak dito kaya kayo na ang mag-compute kung magkano ang gastos ko sa lucky money lang. Puwera pa ang dalawang malaking restaurant na ipapasara ko sa araw na iyon para sa mga bisita ko. Ang Chinese New Year ang isa sa pina-busy kong araw sa isang taon.

  43. Hey Artsee, I remember that red envelope with a gold coin… Baby Arenas gave me one over lunch in the BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT in Manila – in the Shangri-la hotel in Makati!

  44. ellen, when did mr. montano became a member of LAKAS? and is petilla allowed to run for governor if he withdrew from the senate race?

  45. artsee artsee

    Ate PV, baka ang Gold Coin na nasa isip mo iyon sinusuot ng mga lalaki. Tawag namin sa red envelope “angpaw”. Itanong mo kina Ate Soleil at Ate Chi. Teka, bakit dedma sa akin si Ate Soleil ngayon? Galit ba siya? Lagi ko siyang kinakamusta at hindi sumasagot. Nagtampo siguro sa akin dahil hindi ko siya nabigyan ng kotse.

  46. Baycas,

    What do those highlighted words in your post actually refer to?

    Did they come from a movie script starring Singson’s movie star?

  47. artsee artsee

    Ang bahay na nililinis ni Ate Soleil bigay ko sa kanya. Kung doon pa sa Makati siya tumutuloy, akin iyon at bigay ko. Ikamusta mo na lang ako sa kanya kahit hindi na niya ako pinapansin ngayon.

  48. Artsee, imbes na mamigay ka ng bahay, bakit di ka magpatayo ng preso in preparation for the incarceration of Gloria, her Fatso husband, Mikey Junior Don Arroyo at itong si Iggy Pidal Arroyo.

    Make sure na mas matibay pa kesa sa Alcatraz, ok?

  49. Gloria has no shame – she has no qualms setting the tone by naming her tiyanaks’ candidacy logo TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More….

    TEAM/Together Everyone Achieves More motto: promise of kanya kanyang pagnanakaw in the Senate!

  50. I have been recommending the abolition of the expensive Comelec. Walang silbi iyan. Dapat trabaho iyan ng local government department but what guaranty that this department will do its job well. Sobra ang graft and corruption dapat talaga rebolusyon na to start anew.

    Kawawang bansa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  55. Chabeli Chabeli

    If, according to the information provided by Johnmarzan (February 16th, 2007 at 11:17 pm), “..The filing of certificates of candidacy for senatorial positions and for those who intend to participate in the party-list polls will end on Feb. 12, 2007”, how then could a Cesar Montano just switch w/ Gov. Petilla in Team Disunity ?

    Unless anyone can provide other possibilities, I can only come up with two reasons:

    ONE: Cesar Montano had already registered/filed his COC as Senator w/o media coverage. Of course this is possible w/ the help of Abalos’ accommodation. I cannot help remembering when Pacquiao went to the COMELEC & the reason given by Abalos was that Pacquiao was there to improve the image & credibility of the COMELEC–only to find out days after, that the REAL reason Pacquiao was in the COMELEC was to ask for an exemption of 20 guns for his 20 bodyguards during the gun ban period.

    TWO: Cesar Montano was given special accommodations by Abalos.

    In both cases, the COMELEC under Abalos played ball w/ Gloria. This ex-cadee should just go back to the golf course & carry Mike or Gloria’s golf bag !

  56. artsee artsee

    Kulang pa rin ang init sa loob ng Mt. Mayon. Siguro sa loob ng bunganga ni Apoy natin dito puwede pa. Kaya lang baka isuka ni Apoy si tiyanak.

  57. Chabeli Chabeli

    Earlier on during the day, Cesar expressed his not being interested…what happened ? Pera lang ba yan ?

    The latest move of Team DisUnity just STRENGTHENED the Genuine Opposition. Gloria’s Team DisUnity is really one for the trash can !

    Gov. Jerry Petilla made a smart move, w/c shows his intelligence. Cesar Montano made a wron mmove, w/c shows what a loser he is !

    By the way…why the rejection of Richard Gomez by Gloria’s team ? Heheheh.

  58. artsee artsee

    Manang Chabeli, atin-atin lang, medyo may lamat ang relation ni Cesar at ang asawa niya. May pagka-playboy din kasi iyang bata ni Singson. Kaya ipinasok ni Singson iyan para hawakan ang jueteng at ibang pasugalan sa Visaya lalo na sa Bohol. Huwag mo lang ipagsabi dahil baka ma libel ako.

  59. Darlene Antonino-Custodio vs. Manny Pacquiao

    Darlene’s clearly the underdog here, kahit na baguhan pa lang si Manny Pacquiao, dahil sa popularidad nito.

    ONE: Cesar Montano had already registered/filed his COC as Senator w/o media coverage. Of course this is possible w/ the help of Abalos’ accommodation. I cannot help remembering when Pacquiao went to the COMELEC & the reason given by Abalos was that Pacquiao was there to improve the image & credibility of the COMELEC–only to find out days after, that the REAL reason Pacquiao was in the COMELEC was to ask for an exemption of 20 guns for his 20 bodyguards during the gun ban period.

    no. cesar montano filed his candidacy only today

    16 – Montano files certificate of replacement with Comelec

    Friday, February 16 2007 @ 12:43 PM GMT

    Eleksyon 2004

    Movie actor Cesar Montano is to replace Leyte Governor Carlos Jericho Petilla as a senatorial candidate in the administration-backed Team Unity and late tonight filed a certificate of replacement with the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

    The Comelec said there should be no problem with the replacement issue as long as Montano has the official nomination of the party he represents, the Lakas-CMD.

    i’ve never heard of montano being a member of LAKAS-NUCD until today. for what it’s worth, here’s the edited history of Cesar Montano’s wikipedia. There was no mention of him being a LAKAS NUCD member…

    ang bilis ng update sa wikipedia re montano’s candidacy ano?

  60. ONE: Cesar Montano had already registered/filed his COC as Senator w/o media coverage. Of course this is possible w/ the help of Abalos’ accommodation. I cannot help remembering when Pacquiao went to the COMELEC & the reason given by Abalos was that Pacquiao was there to improve the image & credibility of the COMELEC–only to find out days after, that the REAL reason Pacquiao was in the COMELEC was to ask for an exemption of 20 guns for his 20 bodyguards during the gun ban period.

    no. cesar montano filed his candidacy only today

    Puwede ba ang dalawang singson? Isang tunay na Chavit Singson at yun isa naman isang Chavit sa pelikula..

    Tama kayo pera ang naging usapan dito…Saan kukuwa si Cesar ng 50M sa pag campaign niya..sa pera na naman ng bayan.

    He just signed contract with GMA 7 at ano pag nanalo balik sa TV sitcom…Ayan ang mahirap sa mga Actor turn politician gustong maging senador tapos makikita mo sa TV comedian. Pag ikaw naging Senador ang tawag na sa iyo Honorable kaya dapat maging honorable din ang dating mo…
    Pinili mo maging Senador iwan mo ang movie industry at kung gusto mo doon ka mag appear sa mga forum at huwag sa mga
    comedy sitcom.

    Cesar, Walang masama kung gustong pumasok sa mundo ng politics pero ganoon na ba talaga kung isang araw maisip mo na tumakbo tatakbo ka..ha Cesar! kung talagang plano mo di sana last year pa lang nag-aral ka na eh hindi you are banking on your popularity…mga konsensiya ka dahil pera ng bayan ang gagamitin ni Gloria. Huwag ka din aasa sa kasikatan mo dahil yun last Movie sa MMFF hindi nag hit so doon pa lang talo ka na..OKAY!!! please lang Cesar mag-iisip isip ka.

    well, between you ang Goma kay Goma na lang ako kahit paano he filed his COC on time he is really determine kahit walang support from opposition or admin…MATALO KA SANA!!!

    Nakakainit naman itong umaga ko!!!

    Kawawa naman pala si Trillanes but I don’t know kung paano makakatulong yun mga overseas…hindi naman puwedeng paypal dahil kailangan yata dollar bank account…

  63. TY Baycas – am not familiar with Mr Montano.

    Last year I think I read his name in a prospectus distributed by the Embassy that he was gonna be in the EU capital to promote his film in an intl film festival. Was he the one who played the Pinoy local mafia don Chavit Singson in a film?

    Guys

    Tungkol sa question kung bakit pwede pa si Cesar Montano kahit tapos na ang deadline, baka hindi lang ninyo nabasa, ito ang sinulat ko sa thread Malacanang Dirty Tricks department at work:

    May provision sa election code na pwedeng umurong ang isang kandidato at kumuha ng ipapalit sa kanya. Maraming nangyaring ganyan na katulad ang pangalan o apelyido ng kalaban ang biglang ipapalit upang lituhin ang botante. Isa na yang ipinasok na another Cayetano. At siempre, kasapakat nila si Hello, Benji!, hindi malayong mangyari.

    Ang master operator ng DDT (Department of Dirty Tricks) ay gising 24 oras at lahat na klaseng maniobra ay pinaplano at gagawin.

    Alam niyo ba na isang masugid na tagapagtanggol ngayon si Pichay nina Sotto at Oreta? Ipinagtatanggol ni Pichay ang dalawa sa mga text laban sa kanila. Di ba noon nagbanta si Pichay na kakalas siya sa administration kung isama sina Sotto at Oreta? O ngayon, namputsang Gulay na ito!

  66. Chabeli Chabeli

    Johnmarzan,
    Based on what you said (February 17th, 2007 at 12:39 am), the COMELEC under Abalos accommodated Cesar Montano !

    Maybe the NPA should do us all a favour & lynch Abalos & the rest of those in the COMELEC.

    Abalos is really a BASAHAN !

    If the Opposition did what Team DisUnity did, I can only imagine what Gloria’s Team would do !

  67. Chabeli Chabeli

    Magka-tropa ngayon kasi ang tatlo sa kampanya, SOP (Sotto, Oreta at Pichay). Kung anong kontra ni Pichay sa pagpasok ni Tito at Oreta sa itim gma, dahil kakalas daw siya, ngayon, sweta sila. Yong SOP kasi, yan ang bansag sa mga lagayan sa Pinas, suhulan operating pera.

    May amnesia talaga si gma. Noon, sinabi nilang walang ta-artits sa itim gma, ngayon kinuha si cesar montano para may crowd attraction. Nakalimutan na agad yong linya nilang walang artista.

  69. Ellen,

    Allow me to re-post a comment here concerning Gloria’s continuing refusal to submit MELO findings because with the elections well on the way, many UNO supporters will undoubtedly become target of Gloria’s political killing machine…

    Here’s what I wrote in a previous post:

    Ellen, Yuko, friends,

    Re MELLOW REPORT

    On second thought, I think it’s a good thing that tiyanak refuses to give a copy of the MELLOW report to the EU official.

    That act will be seen here in Europe as evidence that Tiyanak is hiding something – EU perception of Gloria’s killing machine resulting unresolved extra-judicial killings will be reinforced.

    Good! In that case any person who may find himself/herself in a precarious legal situation in Pinas could actually apply for POLITICAL ASYLUM in the EU.

    (Joma and his friends in the Netherlands were the last batch of POLITICAL REFUGEES recognized as such circa 1970s.)

    The moment that happens – FILIPINOS APPLYING FOR POLITICAL ASYLUM here, GLORIA’s GOVT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CLASSIFIED ALONGSIDE President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. That will be good news for everybody coz the EU will be force to withold subsidies, grants and boycott Gloria’s govt.

  70. Chabeli Chabeli

    Philippine Vigil,

    Those are great comments ! Verrrrrry encouraging ! So, let’s hope that La Gloria continues to w/hold the “MELLOW REPORT” !

    Gloria is starting to look like Pres. Mugabe !

  71. PV:

    Rest assured Japan will not grant her any political asylum, likewise, kahit na sabihin niyang kaibigan niya ang Emperor at Empress namin who are apolitical and are not supposed to be bothered with political matters.

    Patatalsik iyan sa US that may as well reject her. Ang sarap niyan ipadala iyan sa The Hague for trial in an international court! 700 na ang ipinapatay niya. Nadaig pa niya si Marcos sabi ni Satur Ocampo na alam niya less than 50 lang ang nabaril ng mga military during martial law. Iyong ibang patayan, internal conflict na nila.

    Formality lang naman ang request for the Melo Report. If she does not give the UN, etc. a copy of that report, they can and will depend on the evidences, etc. to be presented at the Permanent People’s Tribunal for the Philippines in the Hague. Mas matindi ang magiging dagok niyon sa kaniya, and Uncle Johnny will no longer be able to insist that these killings are internal affairs! A Japanese is sitting as Chief Prosecutor in that trial.

    As they say, “Lintik lang ang walang ganti!”

  72. so joeseg, pwede pa pala palitan ng team arroyo yung mga mahihinang bets nila at a later date if they so desire.

    well, there edu and richard waiting…

  73. Mugabe? Baka kamag-anak niya niya si Mugabe! I remember when her father visited Madggascar long, long time ago, sabi ng tatay niya related daw ang mga pilipino sa mga tao doon.

    In short, may lahi silang Africano! And FYI, the ancestor of the Africans was in fact Cain, who was the first murderer!!!

    No wonder ganyan siya!

  74. joeseg joeseg

    John M

    Tama, pwedeng palitan 7 days before election. Petilla, after his withdrawal, can still file his candidacy in any local position including congressman whose deadline is on March 29. At kahit siya nakapag-file in local position at sa akala niya hindi siya mananalo, pwede na namang kumuha ng kapalit na kapartido at mas maigi, ka-apelyido. Yan ang isang provision na nakakalito at nakakainis.

    With Kiram not in the league of former senators Tamano and Rasul to represent the Muslims and his chances not so good, we could expect gma to look around, and hey, tama ang hinala mo, baka pumasok na si Edu Manzano or Richard Gomez.

  75. Absentee voting by mail in Japan starts April 7. By then, all candidates should have been listed. Otherwise, they should be disqualified as provided by the Election Code.

    Use of public funds is supposed to be illegal, too, as a matter of fact, so why is the Bansot being allowed to break this rule?

  76. Chabeli Chabeli

    Oh, Ystakei, Bansot does NOT know how to play by the rules ! She thrives on the illegal, on what is dirty & mabaho ! It’s the teeth, Ystakei, if you ask me. Heheh.

  77. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    Desperadong desperado na talaga. Artista na lang para madaling manalo. So Montano is it. And if their regular candidates don’t make it, there’s Richard waiting in the wings. And there’s Pacman, too. Upgrading from congressman to senator. Puede ba? Hmmm… who else? Jolina? Juday?

  78. Chabeli:

    I’m reposting this from the other loop re these personalities:

    February 17th, 2007 at 1:52 am

    Ellen,

    —snip—

    This personality and patronage based politics has to stop, we have reach the lowest pathetic ebb in politics seeing the likes of Pacquiao is clearly an insult to our electorates and the whole nation as well.

    We have a manifesto (Lalay Rispens-Noel of Netherlands has e-mailed you a copy, if you have not received it I can send you one) in this regard and may I take the opportunity to request you to kindly consider doing a write up on said initiative?

    Thank you again for the welcome and more power to you and your blog, I am impressed at the contents and the response you are getting.

  79. If the Bansot thinks she can improve the chances of her “itim” (borrowed from Joeseg) over the Opposition with this addition of this Montano, she is definitely wrong. She should admit defeat. Talo na siya! This Montano cannot save her “itim”!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!!!

  80. Here’s an information on this Montano:

    Birth Name: Cesar Manhilot (Is he using this name, his real name?)

    Mini biography:

    Born in Manila, Philippines, Cesar’s passion for acting was first seen in Dulaang UP’s stage productions. He was an active member of UP Playwright under the direction of Tony Mabesa. He starred in a TV sitcom. He is said to own a mango farm in Bulacan. It does not say though if he finished schooling at UP.

  81. joeseg joeseg

    Tumulog lang akong saglit, ito sabak na naman.

    Ystakei

    My reading on fielding Cesar Montano is this. Di ba sabi ng item gma, they will not hold public meetings? Nakita nila siguro na talo na agad sila dun kaya nagbago ng strategy. Kailangang magpa-miting sa mga plaza at kailangang may crowd. Artista ang kailangan kaya yon, si Cesar M ang napili. Naiposte ko sa kabila, kapag nakita ni Kiram at pna hindi rin siya uubra, baka umayaw rin. May pag-asa pa si Edu Manzano o Richard Gomez. O si pichay din, baka mahalata nyang lantang gulay ang labas niya, umurong din.

    Totoong may amnesia si gma. Kung kailan lang, sinabing ayaw nila ng may artista, ngayon andyan na.

    Team-buwang productions!!! Hehehe, ayos pre. Pero di ba mas bagay na titulo ng pelikula sa halip na Kailan Darating ang Umaga ay KUNG MANGARAP KA AT MAGISING?

  86. Nang sabihing bisaya si Montano, nagulat ako kasi ang mga Montano ng Pilipinas ay tubong Cavite, at ang tindi—magkakamukha, hindi mo maikakaila na Montano nga sila. Iyon pala ang tunay na apelyido niya ay Manhilot (from “manghihilot” o simply “manghilot”!) Iyan ang dapat na pangalan na gamitin niya!

  91. artsee artsee

    Ate Chi, hindi ba sinkit si Montano. Ang tawag sa kanya sa military circle ay Hapon. May dugong Hapon si Gen. Montano. Tulad kay Col. Abadilla noon na ang tawag ay Tsekwa dahil may dugong Intsik.

    Saka Ate Chi, mga lalaki sila. Kung babae ang tawag ay Montana at taga-Montana, USA hindi sa Pilipinas. Ano pala ang ibig sabihin ng Gotcha? Kailangan mo ba ng Cha o Tsa? I got Tsa here.

    Siguro kaya umalis si Petilla dahil hindi niya nagustuhan ang gupit ni Arroyo sa kanya inahitan siguro ng patilya.Wala namang binatbat iyang Unity ni pandak,mga ZAPADERA lang ang mga iyan.

  94. Chi,

    Walang lahing hapon ang mga Montano ng Cavite. Lahi nila intsik. Remember iyong mga Sangleys na piratang intsik na tauhan ni Limahong? Iyan ang lahi nyan.

    As for this actor, ang apelyido niyang totoo ay Manhilot! Magaling sigurong manghilot ang lolo niyan. Taga Maynila at hindi bisaya. Baka iyong asawa, bisaya kaya daw ipinalit doon sa Waray na si Petilla.

    Huwag maniwala sa hakahaka! Katotohanan lamang!

  103. Akala ko, Chi, ang Zapadera, salimpusa. Bansot na manga pala!!!

    Iyan ang isa pa raw negosyo ni Mr. Manhilot! He owns a 2-hectare mango farm daw sa Bulacan.

    I understand that he has appeared in the movies not just as Chavit Singson but also as Jose Rizal! Insulto sa national hero of the Philippines!

    Paanong masasabi na walang lahing Hapon ang mga Montano? Ang tinutukoy ko si Gen. Ramon Montano na kilala sa ngalan na “Hapon”. Iyan ang tawag sa kanya ng mga sundalo. Tama din na galing sa Intsik dahil galing sa Intsik naman ang mga Hapon. Walang purong Hapon. Mga recyle o natitirang lahi ng Intsik iyan na napadpad lang sa mga isla ng Hapon. May alamat nga sa Tsina iyan. Ang kuwento nagpadala ng mga tao ang Emperador para humanap ng gamot o inumin na walang kamatayan. Hindi puwedeng bumalik sila hangga’t hindi dala. Dahil sa takot, hindi na umuwi at nanatili na lang sa Hapon. Diyan daw nagsimula ang lahing Hapon na mga Intsik din noon. Alamat nga at kuwento pero may katotohanan din. Tingnan niyo ang hitsura, kultura, salita, sulat, relihiyon ng mga Hapon na katulad ng Intsik. Dahil ang Tsina ang may pinakamatandang kasaysayan, tama lang sabihin na ang mga Hapon ay galing sa Intsik at hindi maaaring ang Intsik pa ang manggaling sa Hapon.

    Mang Joeseg, salamat at hindi mo minasama ang pagtuwid ko sa salitang “tumulog”. Ang tama o wastong salita sa Tagalog ay “Natulog, Natutulog, Matutulog” galing sa salitang tulog.

Sabit is preparing for a National Jueteng Association and Smuggling operation and baka drug operation and white slavery pa! He is picking his best partners now and positioning himself. Sabit is a smooth operator like tiyanak! They sure are a very good combination! Kaya siguro nagbago ang isip ni Petillo, nakita niya ang kalidad ng mga candidates ni tiyanak and he had the decency to realize they are all “trapos”. So naghanap na lang siya ng dahilan to exit.

  111. Leonard Leonard

    Ang kaparaanan ni gma na gamitin ang anumang bagay na makapagbibigay sa kanila ng panalo ay tunay na lantad sa ating mga paningin. Gaya ng mga artista na isinama sa tiket nila, kahit sino hindi tatanggi na sumapi sa tiket nila kung wala naman siyang gagastusin kahit isang kusing. Kailangan nila ang pangalan ng artista, tama lang na gastusan nila ito. Pangakaraniwan ng nagaganap ito sa pulitika.Ang istilo nilang ito ay upang sirain lamang ang kalabang partido at makuha ang boto para sila manalo.Sa bandang huli pagkatapos ng eleksiyon, kahit matalo pa ang kinuha nilang artista sa tiket nila, maligaya pa rin ito dahil bukod sa may pera na siya, lalo pang sumikat ang pangalan niya at puwede pa ring siyang gumawa ng pelikula patungkol sa naging karanasan niya sa pagpasok sa pulitika.Malamang dumugin ito ng mga tao, dahil sasabihin nya dito, sa pelikulang ito ay mapapanood ninyo ang mga katiwalian at mga kapalpakan ng mga namumuno sa ating gobyerno. At hindi naman tanga ang artistang ito na gastusin lahat ng perang galing sa tiket niya. Natural may nakasubi siyang para sa kanyang sarili.

  112. Leonard Leonard

    Si manny pakyaw (pasensiya tagalog ako e) medyo iba ang sitwasyon niya, kasi may pera siya at malamang na mahihiya siyang humingi ng pera kay gma, na hindi niya alam ay siya namang balak ni gma kaya dito ay medyo tagilid siya.May panganib na mabawasan ang milyones niya at hindi na mapabalik sa kanya.Pag nanalo siya na alam ko namang mahirap mangyari suwerte niya talaga. Pag natalo naman siya ubos na ang milyones niya at malamang e pati sa boksing e matalo na rin siya.

  113. Tama, pwedeng palitan 7 days before election. Petilla, after his withdrawal, can still file his candidacy in any local position including congressman whose deadline is on March 29.

    Thanks Joeseg. Seven days before election day is May 7, 2007. Ito naman ang info na napulot ko sa COMELEC website:

    http://www.comelec.gov.ph/announcements/resolutions/2007/res_7799.html

    SECTION 5. Period for filing certificate of candidacy. – The certificate of candidacy shall be filed on regular days during office hours except on the last day, which shall be up to midnight, as follows:

    For Senator – January 15, 2007 to February 12, 2007; and

    For Local Officials (including Members of the House of Representatives) – January 15, 2007 to March 29, 2007.

    here’s the rules on replacing a candidate.

    SECTION 14. Substitution of candidates, in case of death, disqualification or withdrawal of another. – If after the last day for the filing of certificate of candidacy, an official candidate of a registered political party dies, withdraws or is disqualified for any cause, only a person belonging to, and certified by, the same political party may file a certificate of candidacy to replace the candidate who died, withdrew or disqualified. No substitution shall be allowed for any independent candidate. The substitute for candidates who withdrew may file his certificate of candidacy as herein provided for the office affected not later than May 7, 2007. The substitute for candidates who were disqualified or died or suffered permanent incapacity may file his certificate of candidacy up to mid-day of election day. If the disqualification, death or permanent disability should occur between the day before the election and mid-day of election day, the substitute candidate may file the certificate with any board of election inspectors in the political subdivision where he is a candidate, or in the case of candidate for Senator, with the Law Department of the Commission.

    No person who has withdrawn his candidacy for a position shall be eligible as substitute candidate for any other position after the deadline for filing of certificates of candidacy.

    So pwede palang palitan ng Arroyo admin ang mga kulelat na senators nila with Edu or Richard Gomez on some future date.

    Anyway, it’s interesting to compare the rules issued by COMELEC in 2007 to the one issued in 2004.

    The 2004 deadline for filing the certificate of candidacy for both national and local officials was much earlier:

    http://www.comelec.gov.ph/announce/2004elec/2004elec_res6594.html

    “SEC. 5. Period for filing certificate of candidacy. – The certificate of candidacy shall be filed beginning December 15, 2003 to January 2, 2004 for both national and local elective positions on regular days during office hours except on the last day which shall be up to midnight.”

    I think the new rules hurt the opposition more because the candidates have less time to campaign nationwide, as opposed to if the campaign started on Jan. 2007.

    it’s less of a problem for the admin because they have the money, the jets, helicopters and the gov’t resources and tv stations to help their candidates campaign nationally.

    The rules on replacing a candidate is different too. Here’s the 2004 version:

    http://www.comelec.gov.ph/announce/2004elec_res6453.html

    SEC. 14. Substitution of Candidates, in case of death, disqualification or withdrawal of another. — If after the last day for the filing of certificate of candidacy, an official candidate of a registered political party dies, withdraws or is disqualified for any cause, he may be substituted by a candidate belonging to, and nominated by, the same political party. No substitute shall be allowed for any independent candidate. In cases of withdrawal or disqualification of a candidate, the substitute candidate nominated by the political party concerned may file his certificate of candidacy and nomination not later than January 15, 2004. In case of death or permanent incapacity, the substitute candidate may file his certificate of candidacy with the office herein provided not later than mid-day of election day. If death or permanent incapacity should occur between the day before the election and mid-day of election day, the substitute candidate may file the certificate with any board of election inspectors in the political subdivision where he is a candidate, or in the case of candidates for President, Vice-President or Senator, with the Law Department of the Commission on Elections in Manila.

    No person who has withdrawn his candidacy for a position shall be eligible as substitute candidate for any other position after the deadline for filing of certificates of candidacy or after January 2, 2004.

    if we followed the 2004 COMELEC rules, Petilla would not be allowed to run for governor after dropping out of the senate race.

    And is it just me, or are the 2007 COMELEC rules handwritten by Malacanang to help improve their chances of winning?

    Johnmarzan,
    Thanks for the info you posted. Very informative.

    Also, your comments (February 17th, 2007 at 3:12 pm), “is it just me, or are the 2007 COMELEC rules handwritten by Malacanang to help improve their chances of winning?” It’s just not you, Johnmarzan. Indeed, Gloria will do ANY-THING to win. The COMELEC is one of those insitutions that Gloria broke. It is inutile, if you ask me !

    I have mentioned many times that the only one w/ the machinery. specifically the money, is Team GLORIA. So obviously, they will be the only one who can CHEAT in the May elections. But what they do not have going for them is the hearts & minds of the people. They can not buy that.

  115. Chabeli Chabeli

    Heheheheh. It’s funny to watch the Grand Proclamation of Rally of Team DisUnity is in Cebu. They can’t make it in Metro Manila. We know why !

    What I caught on TV was Gloria w/ all her candidates. I’m glad she’s w/ them on stage. She is the jinx & majority of them will lose !

    Gloria also said that she will not be campaigning w/ her candidates giving some bullshit reason. We know the truth !

    What I witnessed on TV was all theatrics; a fiesta, complete w/ balloons & confetti. But the battle here is the hearts & minds of the people. That’s Team GMA’s weakness, but the Genuine Opposition’s strength !

    Let’s GO 12-0 !

    Re: Si Unano lang ang makakapagsabi nito!

  120. I think another reason kung bakit mas late yung deadline for the filing of the certificates of candidacy this year was because of Malacanang’s attempt to abolish the senate. Remember the admin’s CON ASS attempt last december 2006? some of arroyo’s allies were expecting na hindi matutuloy ang elections. When the admin finally gave up on their Charter Change attempt for the meantime, atsaka lang nilabas ng COMELEC ang bagong rules, which was published/promulgated only on Jan. 5, 2007.

    Unlike the rules on the candidacy filing for the 2004 elections, where it was promulgated much earlier Dec. 10, 2003. (that’s why the filing for certificates of candidacy for national and local candidates back in 2004 was much much earlier, dec. 15, 2003 to jan. 2, 2004)

    Nagpapatawa ka naman. Ang nasa pekeng pamahalaan ni Unano ay puro peke yata ang diploma. Ang PhD ni Unano ay para sa ngongonomics, kasi hindi maintindihan kung anong programa meron s’ya!

  125. Point is, are the names of the Congressional candidates ready now. Papaano makaka-campaign iyon mga kulilat when the rule says that they can campaign for only a month and then no more.

    Please be aware that absentee voters are supposed to be sending their votes or casting their votes at the Philipine Embassy and Consulate from April 7 till May 7, and no more campaigning should be done then.

    In other words, those who submit their candidacies seats in Congress will no more have time to campaign fully if they register late. Breaking these rules are supposed to be punishable by law. There actually should not be any exemption or exception to the rule!

    Reflection talaga ng ugali ng Boba-ry! Puro breaking of rules!!!

    Ellen, maaga agong nagbukas ng blog mo galing ako sa lamay ng may-ari ng pinakasikat na punerarya dito sa Pasay. Kaklase ko ang isa sa mga anak niya. Kumpleto ang mga sosyal, siyempre pati na mga politiko. Kasamaang-palad nakamayan ko ang isang tao na matagal ko nang isinusuka. Hindi kasi binanggit sa akin ang pangalan kaya imbes na sampalin ko, binati ko pa ng maayos.

    Ang tinutukoy ko ay ang congresswoman naming si Connie Dy na nakikita lamang tuwing malapit na ang eleksiyon. Bukod siyempre nung nakipag-singhalan siya sa TV kay Alan Cayetano tungkol sa “utang na loob” sa Ethics Committee hearing kung saan pinagkaisahan si Alan ng mga kampon ni IpDyi (ika nga ni Yuko). Hindi ko namukhaan nang ipakilala ako ng kaibigan ko na isa na palang konsehal ngayon. Itong si konsehal nga pala ay isa sa mga trying hard na politikong lagi namang talo, aba, at na-appoint pala sa tulong nitong hinayupak na congresswoman na dati’y kilala lang bilang may-ari ng sabungan sa Pasay Road. Alam na natin ang istorya kung paanong binastos ng DILG si Mayor Peewee Trinidad sa pamamagitan ng pagmamanipula ng batas hanggang sa masuspinde at ang utak nito ay itong congresswoman mismo.

    Nang tanungin ko si Kon. Reggie kung paano siya na-appoint, ang sabi e, “Malakas kay FG ang asawa ni Connie.” Tinanong ko siya, “Pero hindi ka naman Lakas, a?” “Malakas nga e”.

    Pag-alis ng grupo ni Dy, simula na ang kuwentuhan ng mga tao sa lamay. Nakumpirma ko na hindi lang pala ang tomboy naming barangay chairman ang doble kung sumuweldo ngayong empleyada na rin ng City Hall kahit pa sumusuweldo na sa DILG para sa puwesto niya sa barangay. Sa buong Pasay pala e ganun din. Maging yung mga amuyong na pinasusuweldo ng barangay, pinasusuweldo pa rin ng City Hall bilang taga-walis ng mga kalsada. Yung halos 700 na tinanggal na empleyado mula administrasyon ni Peewee, pinalitan ng mga taong barangay na sipsip kay Dy. Mga taong handang magbigay ng mga pekeng affidavit upang idiin ang mga tunay na halal ng Pasay na pinalitan lang ng mga “malakas kay FG”.

    Magtataka pa ba ako na si Cesar Montano, kahit na tapos na ang registration at hindi naman miyembro ng partido ni Petilla, heto at pasok pa ring kandidato?

    Siguro isa rin siyang “malakas kay FG”.

    –Tongue in, anew

    Tignan ninyo kung sino ang mga kabig ng Baboy na asawa: mga jueteng lords, mga sugarol sa casino, mga may-ari ng sabungan, mga sabungero. Lahat kinukuha pang kandidato.

    Kuwento rin sa lamay: balak magtayo ni FG at mga kasosyong taga-Macau/Hong Kong ng isang malaking “gaming paradise” sa reclamation area ng Pasay. Isang high-rollers’ theme park baga na siguradong tututulan ni Peewee kung siya pa ang Mayor dahil sa commitment niya sa mga investor doon gaya ng Mall of Asia ni Henry Sy at iba pang lehitimog negosyo na hindi papayag na mahaluan ng sandamukal na casino ang nagsisimula pa lang na lumalaking commercial center.

    Mabuti na sana’t halos nabura na ang marami sa mga saklaan at bookies ng karera, jueteng, lotteng atbpang mga sugal na ang financier ay ang anak ng dating Mayor Cuneta na si Boy McNutt sa pagpupursige ni Peewee, eto ngayon, sinibak siya para palitan ng mas “gambler-friendly” na si Connie Dy.

    Wala nang sagabal sa pagdami ng mga “legal” na pasugalan – maganda rin kasing cover ito para sa money laundering ng mga Pidal.

    Tongue, hindi lang sa Pasay yan. Si Sabit nga tignan mo isinabak si Pacman sa politiko para sila ni Fatso ay tuloy ang ligaya. They are infecting the whole Philippines with their gambling ways. I heard na in La Union, when the Sabit took over Poro Point, nagtayo na rin ng sariling Casino ang ugok doon. Partner niya si Fatso sa mga ito. Why do you think they are close? They are both members of the gambling syndicate! I bet you, the money they are using for this May election is from the gambling operations and of course the loot from our treasury! Baka manalo pa si Sabit because he has all the dirty money to pay all the dirty operators like the Comelec and the AFP!

    Sabi nga “Huwag silang patawarin kasi alam na alam nila ang kanilang ginagawa!” (baligtad noong isa sa last words ni Jesus Christ na “Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do!”

    Ano na ang mangyayari sa Pilipinas kapag puro sugarol na ang pilipino?

    Ito bang si IpDyi, ano ba talaga ang trabaho niyan? Mukhang walang ginagawa ang animal na iyan kundi magsugal at magkolekta ng tong? This is not libel. Just asking for the truth?

    Golly, katulad iyan ng isang kakilala ko na doctor daw, nakapasa sa board kuno dahil ang duda namin nagbayad ang ama sa kinauukulan para magkaroon ng lisensiya bilang doctor, pero ang tunay na profession, sugarol! Ngayon nasa Tate na, walang ginawa kund itaya ang kita ng asawa sa Lotto at sa casino sa Las Vegas at Reno!

    Iyong asawa kayod ng kayod at natuto na ring maging switik lalo pa siguro iyong may nunal dahil inherently evil!

    Tongue na talaga! Ooops, umph….bawal nga pala akong magmura! Baka mamaga na naman ang bibig ko! 😛

  131. Come to think of it, Tongue T., when I was a little girl, notorious na ang Pasay lalo na nang ilipat ang lahat ng prostitution den diyan. Naglalakihan ang mga kasa na akala ko bahay ng mga mayayaman, bahay pala ng mga kalapating mababa ang lipad.

    Nakapunta ako doon sa malapit ng dating Regency Hotel na ang guwardiya mga military officers kasi ang suot nila army uniforms. Hindi ko nga lang pinansin ang mga tsapa. Isang grupong hapon ang dinala doon ng gustong kumitang mga tourist guide at kailangan kong sumama dahil ako naman ang tour escort na namamahala sa mga tourists na ipinapadala ng company namin sa Japan. Kakasuka talaga.

    Kaya noon pa marami ng corruption hindi lang sa pulis pati na sa military lalo na doon sa Philippine Navy gawa nga ng mga smuggling, etc. na nagagawa sa dagat! Tama in fact si Trillanes doon sa mga isinulat niyang anomalya sa division ng military na isa siyang opisyal.

    Hindi na nga pambihira na naririnig namin sa pulis dito na ang mga baril na inaangkat (smuggle) ng mga seaman na mga pilipino ay may involvement ng mga opisyal sa military/navy plus iyong mga kurakot sa BIR/Customs!

    Damdam na damdam ko ang ngitngit mo sa mga narinig mo, P’re! Ingat!

  132. Chabeli:

    The Team Bansot may have the election machinery—money and all, but let’s see what they can do against an angry citizenry.

    I have been getting phone calls and emails here and there asking if they can still register. As I have resolved to not meddle in the registration of voters this year because of the disenfranchisement of voters, etc. in 2004, I told them to ask the embassy if they can still.

    Everyone has been telling me, though, that they will vote for UNO, especially Trillanes!!! If he is not No. 1, he will surely be in the top three. Kapag hindi sila lumabas doon, baka matuluyan na ang isang madugong rebolusyon! Heaven forbid!

    boom tarat tarat. kasalukuyang sikat na novelty song na bagamat napakababaw ng mensahe ay kinaaaliwan ng balanang humahanap ng pagbabalingan ng atensiyon upang kahit sandali’y malimutan ang pagkalam ng sikmurang (maaaring) bihira nang malamanan ng pagkain dulot ng pagdarahop at kawalan ng hanapbuhay at umaasang sa pagpila sa programang wowowee ay makakasumpong ng iglap na kayamanan. kasabay sa pag-indak sa tugtuging ito ay ang pagkalimot sa katotohanang hindi lahat ay magkakatulad ang kapalaran. subalit, hindi bale na, basta’t puno ng saya, limot na rin ang problema.

    at ganito rin ang laman ng mga bahaw na ulo ng mga kaalyado ng huwad at mandarayang magnanakaw na nagpupumilit maging pangulo ng bansa gayung salat sa kakayahan at walang karapatang mamalagi kahit isang saglit sa loob ng malakanyang. iniisip nilang dahil sa kasikatan ng naturang awitin ay matatabunan nito ang katotohanang sila ang promotor ng nabuwag na pagpupursigeng maisulong nang panakaw ang cha cha na magbubuwag sa mataas na kapulungan ng kongreso tungo sa habambuhay na pananatili sa kapangyarihan ng angkan ng mga gahaman . tila nakakalimutang sa bawat pagharap nila (lalo na ang mga sipsip na bunye, ermita, defensor, claudio, gonzalez at gonzales) sa taong bayan ay parang multong nagbabangon sa kinahihimlayan ang mga katiwaliang kanilang kinasasangkutan na siyang dahilan ng pagtatagal sa poder ng walang kahihiyang babaeng baliw na mukhang daga sa malakanyang na nagsusumiksik sa kanyang umaalingasaw na lungga.

    sino ba ang makakalimot sa iskandalo’t pandarayang tinutukoy sa “hello garci”? sino ang makakalimot sa mga kautusang sumusupil sa karapatan ng bawat isang sandaling namayani sa katulad na pagkakataon noong isang taon, ang pagpapairal ng state of emergency dahil kuno sa pagtatangkang agawin ang kapangyarihan na siyang pinagdurusahan ng mga tunay na magigiting na opisyal ng hukbong sumasalungat sa bulok na pamamalakad? paanong mawawaglit sa gunita ng bawat isang mamamayan kung paano bombahin ng mataas na presyon ng tubig at animo’y hayup na habulin at hinahalibas ng hataw ang mga taong naglalabas lamang ng kanilang mga karaingan laban sa pang-aabuso ng abusadong huwad na pangulo at kanyang mga nakaunipormeng tulisan?

    Kung ang sinasabi mo Yuko na malapit sa Regency Hotel (baka Regent of Manila na renamed Heritage Hotel after a fire that killed many) malapit iyan sa amin. The other one is Hyatt Regency which is in Manila.

    Tanda ko rin, I was still in High School then when the influx of Japanese “sex-tourists” hit Pasay – during Cuneta’s time. It was regular sight seeing two Coaster minibuses driving into a secluded upscale compound along Taft Ave. in which one bus was full of tourists and the other one vacant. As they leave the compound, the 2 buses now full, you see the “bugaw” counting his dollars and his alalays counting their “lapad” tips. The going price then was about US$50/girl. Our barangay, which was a small single-block where EDSA meets Taft Ave., there were about 14 or more “casa” or whorehouses that had anywhere from 5 to 70 girls per casa!

    The operators were mostly Cebuanos who ran the brothels with thugs who beat the girls who try to escape. This white slavery racket recruits girls aged 14-20 (25 is considered old) from Cebu, Samar, Bohol and Leyte who, on retirement have nothing to show for years of selling their bodies. Most girls were promised jobs as waitresses, salesladies, even as movie actresses!

    These casas slowly left our barangay when the biggest operator was accused of 10 counts of rape and white slavery. The guy had become filthy rich from his filthy activities. The guy drove a classy VW Scirocco and had several other sportcars. He had professional boxers under his stable and even produced Phil. champions – very much like the rich Cebuano boxing enthusiasts. Another casa run by a woman and her son boasted they had several gov’t officials and military generals as clients and each time the generals came to get their girls, they would be taking with them a military convoy. One client became president, the other still a senator.

    Many other casas were located in Harrison Blvd. where prominent families once lived. The old brothels have all but disappeared. Either age has caught up with the girls or the bugaws end up marrying their girls and conscience has caught up with them. There are still some prostitutes though who ply their wares at the rotonda at midnight but most are transients who come all the way from Valenzuela, Laguna, Cavite. As there are also those who chose to be their own “independent” bugaws aided by cellphones and the internet.

    The gay who pimped the teenage student to Congressman Jalosjos lived just nearby and was sentenced last week for white-slavery. He will start counting the 12 years in the slammer.
