This is a first person account by my friend and fellow blogger, Joel.
Joel’s first letter to our e-group was sent last Friday. It’s heartwarming:
Last Monday, I gave a Trillanes campaign shirt and stickers to a young lady. It was during a meeting I had with a group from Bicol. This group from Bicol is supporting Sonny, Sonia Roco and Chiz Escudero. This morning while giving away Sonny’s stickers in Marikina, I ran into the very same lady. She was with a group of retired soldiers giving away Trillanes shirts and stickers. They had the stickers and shirt I gave copied. There were kids along with them. I later learned these kids are grandchildren and kids of those who were with the girl.
They then invited me to join their little caravan of six vehicles to Novaliches. Medyo traffic and a military-looking man whom I invited to ride with me handed out shirts and stickers. I did not join them anymore in going around Novaliches as I had an appointment with my dentist.
I was not introduced to the males in the group. I later learned from a driver that these are members of the Guardians. Also in the group is member of Willie Villarama’s staff.
Before I left the group in their mini campaign sortie, I had a snack with them. I learned that they have been wanting to get hold of Sonny’s campaign materials and I was god-sent daw to them.
Tinablan ako with their gesture. These are people helping Sonny in their own little way. I don’t know how many shirts we gave away. I had 250 shirts in my car and naubos namin yun before reaching Novaliches. The other cars still had boxes of shirts when I left them. Nagulat ako with the effort they put in supporting Sonny’s candidacy.
It was an overwhelming experience for me. I am glad I was given the chance to see for myself how the people support Sonny. They surveys obviously were wrong. May silent majority na sumusuporta kay Sonny. I just hope that their numbers will be enough come May 14.
I got another letter from Joel the next day. It shows malevolent forces are at work to make sure that Trillanes does not make it to the Senate where he could make it difficult for them to continue their rape of the nation.
Today, I had a bad experience. I went out to buy a cake my bunso wanted so much to try. I parked my car in an open area in Katipunan. When I got back, I was surprised to see very deep scratches on the doors and a big portion of my compartment. My Trillanes stickers were torn off which gave me the impression that it was done to teach me a lesson.
Though it’s 10 years old, I love this car so much that you wouldn’t notice its age. I’m in the process of supping it up into a racing model, just like the cars in the Fast and the Furious. I just spent P58,000 on its paint alone. I had the paint customized, it’s black with silver glitters.
Nakakainis talaga. Just because I support Trillanes, someone would actually stoop so low as to vandalize another’s property. I have reported it and the insurance will cover it. They had it estimated and the repair would cost P12,000. But because I had my paint customized, I will be shelling out another P15,000 of my own money.
Hassle talaga I could have donated the amount to Sonny’s campaign. Some people are really weird. Ang babaw talaga.
“Nakakainis talaga. Just because I support Trillanes, someone would actually stoop so low as to vandalize another’s property.”
maliwanag na isang patunay ang paggala ng mga galamay ng kasalukuyang administrasyon na ang layunin ay sikilin, takutin at perwisyuhin ang mga sumusuporta sa kalaban sa pulitika ng mga anay sa malakanyang. sukdulang sila ay makapanira ng kagamitan, makapanakit at makautang ng buhay – sa tamang halaga.
ang mga miyembro ng GUARDIANS ang magpapanalo sa kandidatura ni sonny trillanes, gayundin ang ibang kandidato ng oposisyon na dumaan sa masusi nilang pagkilatis. katulad ni gringo, pinaniniwalaan nila na makapagbibigay ng makabuluhang pagbabago ang pagpasok ni sonny sa mataas na kapulungan at silang mga pinagkatiwalaan ang magsisilbing taliba upang ipagsanggalang ang kapakanan ng umaasang mamamayan.
hindi man lang sya kinilabutan sa ginawa nya….
same here…my stickers are always torn out..left the car in a public parking lot in cubao, a lot in Manila, then along one of the roads in the parking lot of a Cubao LTO office..so what does it say?..i park in makati but never did i encounter anything like it. parked it in mcdo near DLSU and in Ateneo parking lot, nobody touched it…good thing i saved some stickers for myself…..funny but when people pass me by, they would try to look at the people inside my vehicle…my trillanes sticker is at the rear windshield….sadly i had to take it out for the time being as it is my 6th time to replace it…
i hope our friend blogger be very vigilant, lest something untoward happens to him which we dont want to happen…take care dear friend…mga kabayan!!! GO para sa pagbabago,
Go para sa pagkakaiba! PAgbabago at pagkakaiba para umusad!
Funny, Ellen, but there was no asterisks on the name of Trillanes in the list provided by the Comelec, but there were two next to the name of Allan Peter S. Cayetano.
Nevertheless, it is most likely that the Unano is now preparing to order all the 11 GO senatorial candidates disqualified should they all win the Senate seats. If that is not calling for the whole Philippine nation to revolt, what is?
As for the vandalism as described by Joel, I have not heard of such barbarism in fact in real democratic Japan, because people here know that such items cost big money.
And people there call themselves democratic and pious Christians!!! Yuck!
Another questionable thing is that many of the partylists in the list provided by the Comelec to voters in Japan are not in the list provided voters in the USA according to a friend when I exchanged notes with him.
Also, as I have mentioned earlier, PEP Coalition is also one of the partylists Comelec is apparently cautioning OFWs not to vote for as PEP Coalition’s name is followed by 5 asterisks.
This may turn out to be the worst election the Philippines has ever had, I believe.
Alam na namin ang gagawin kurakot sa Japan. A lot of the people in the list are non-existent, and/or no longer in the country. Kaya maraming babalik na voting kits sa Comelec which sent those packages from Manila. Ang trick, pagdating ng mga ballots kuno doon, iyong lutong makaw na mga ballots kuno ang ipapadala sa Japan with note that they were mistakenly missent to Manila which is impossible because the return envelopes are addressed to the Philippine Embassy or Consulate with no indication that they should be returned to Manila (Comelec) and postage shouldered by the voters. Sinong niloloko nila!
We are encouraging Filipinos in Japan to protest against counting any ballots that are delivered from the Comelec on May 14. The civilians they are hiring to watch those ballots should be concerned enough a citizen to protest against any attempt to cheat in favor of and for the Unano, who is not their employer but the Republic of the Philippines—meaning the taxpayers!!! Time for bureaucrats in the Philippines to understand that and make the distinction.
OFWs starting casting their ballots yesterday, the 14th of April.
There are a lot many disenfranchised again.
A friend who voted in 2004 said she had not yet received her voting kit.
Aside from Vandalism that everyone has to be aware of, I just received an e-mail from a friend in the US warning about robbery modus operandi which could happen to anyone, anywhere. Supposed to be, 2 men would approached you and asked you what’s your favorite perfume. Then they’ll tell you that they have branded perfumes they’re selling for very cheap prices and if you’d like to try it first. If you smell it, then it’s your disaster. It’s not perfume you’re going to inhale but ETHER! And when you pass out, that’s their turn to rob you with everything they can find from you or inside your car. Let’s pass this information around because my friend said, it’s been happening around not only in the states but in other countries as well for quite sometime now!
This should read, “OFWs STARTED casting their ballots yesterday, the 14th of April.”
Elvie: it’s been happening around not only in the states but in other countries as well for quite sometime now!
*****
Never heard of in Japan. Elvie, because the Japanese are not fond of buying cheap perfume if they have money. Only those with less buy bargain unless it is a bargain at the exclusive stores like Chanel store, etc. Bagay kasi hindi naman maraming magnanakaw dito. Maraming magnanakaw, mga foreigner!
Yuko, the reason why there is no asterisk on Trillanes’ name is because there is no pending disqualification case against him while Allan Cayetano has two.
Ellen,
There was one asterisk next to the name of Noynoy, and it says there it is a question of party affiliation. Importante ba iyon? Over here, candidates run independent if they want to even when they belong to some distiguished party like the Governor of Tokyo, Ishihara Shintaro, who ran for the 3rd time as governor of Tokyo without carrying the name of his party of affiliation, the Jiminsto or Liberal-Democractic Party.
Ang arte-arte naman diyan, palpak rin naman ang ginagawa! Bakit ba gustung-gusto nilang magpahirap ng mga tao!
Golly, lahat ng grupo nina Satur Ocampo nilagyan ng asterisks. Pati iyong grupo nila SS may asterisks din dahil akala siguro ng Comelec kasama sa grupo ni Satur.
Gago din, ano? And they call that “democratic”?
Puede ba mamundok na lang sila dahil para naman silang itneg. Sa kakaisip kung papaano makakadaya, nagmumukha tuloy silang bobo kundi sira!
Tignan mo nga si Unano nagha-hallucinate na nakikita niya iyong birhen daw!
Hay! Sa wakas nakapasok din ako dito sa bahay ni Ms. Ellen. Akala ko hindi na ako makakapag-post ng kahit anuman habang umiinit ang palitan ng mga posts lalung-lalo na sa hindi makataong pamamalakad ni General Sepulturero Assperon sa tunay at magigiting na mga kawal ng sandatahang Pilipinas.
Ang sirain ang gamit ng ibang tao dahil sa isang larawan ni Sonny Trillanes ay hindi gawain ng sibilisadong mamamayan lalo ng ang lugar ng pinangyarihan ng vandalism ay nasa isang maituturing na pasyalan ng mga mag-aaral ng Ateneo at Miriam. Mabuti na lamang at hindi nakita ng kapwa natin blogger dito sa bahay ni Ms. Ellen ang taong sumira sa kanyang sasakyan. Kaya mas lalong ingat co-blogger, hindi ang uri ng mga taong iyan ang dapat patulan. May nakalaan na parusa para sa kanila.
Masama ang panahon dito sa Eastern Province (sandstorm) kaya hindi ako nakaboto upang malaman kung marami ng OFWs ang ginampanan ang karapatang bomoto ng nararapat na maging mga senador at party-lists.
As I had mentioned from my previous post, here’s the caption–Oreta, Esperon, GMA, FVR–Most Distrusted–April 12,2007 at 1:15 PM.—Being perceived as effective means being surrounded by malevolent enemies who are capable of stopping a politician’s good intention.
Be careful, because they are an organized structure intimidator who has the capacity for such an operation whose aim is to undermine the campaigning strategy of the opposition. Their political repression is a terrible reminder that the opposition must be able to pursue their aspirations and determine their own political conquest. We all know that Trillanes is vividly embodies with extraordinary courage, he took a strong and courageous stand for what he know was right, he risk his freedom in the ongoing struggle for the present corrupt government .His honor, decency, and the will of the people to vote for him will triumph over fraud, deceit and intimidation. And because of his great courage, the Rule of Law prevail against the oppressive rule of punggok and the idiot four star general esperong. Keep up on campaigning for Trillanes,Joel! We are behind and supporting you!
Para ano daw iyong asterisk?
Ellen, di dapat iyang pangalan ni Gloria – anywhere it’s written should have at least 10 asterisks because she should have been disqualified 10 x over.
Kaya kailangan, Gloria Macapal Arroyo y Pidal ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤.
(Sorry, my keyboard has gone on strike, can’t locate the asterisk – coz it reverted to bloddy Flemish.)
It’s been three days of stormy weather from where I am. Bukod sa pasundot-sundot ang internet ay ang hirap pang pumasok dito sa blog. May nagmimilagro na naman!
Two stories related to Trillanes, the first one touches the heart, while the second is nakakabwisit!
Malaki ang pag-asa ni Trillanes na manalo sa suporta ng ibat-ibang grupo at indibidwal. At iyan ay alam ni Tianak at minions kaya nagpakawala sila ng mga bayaran na mag-antabay sa mga sasakyang merong stickers ni Trillanes. Malayong maging individual effort lang iyang mga nambabastos sa mga sasakyan, ano naman ang kanilang mapapala unless na sila ay mga talagang walang kasilbi-silbing mga tao.
Takot ang EK kay Trillanes because his win will become a big headache for Tianak and Assperon kaya pati mga supporters ni Trillanes ay kanilang tinatakot. Mga DUWAG no doubt itong mga maligno sa EK!
Ano nga ba iyang letseng asterisks na ‘yan?
Sorry, Ellen. Para pala sa may disqualification case ang asteriks. So, dapat ay before the Tianak’s name ay meron na kaagad na maraming asterisks kasi ay disqualifed siya sa lahat ng pwesto na kanyang iligal na ina-assume.
Chi;
Si Tianak ay di na kailangan lagyan ng asterisks,dahil siya ay autistic.
Welkam bak!
There are still many who are belittling the candidacy of Trillanes and minimize his chances because he is behind bars. I haven’t had the chance yet to read his other campaign leaflets but I could see that there is really a strong reason why is running and foremost of which is, he wants to be heard.
It’s the same line being adhered to by a prominent medical practitioner in Pasig City, Dr. Fernando Melendres, a candidate for the lone congressional district of Pasig. As emailed to me by a former classmate, Dr. Melendres’ statement is likened to what Trillanes would like to let us know when he said:
“Remember this. Politics, particularly a political campaign, isn’t simply a matter of winning or losing or of getting elected or rejected. A political campaign is the most important aspect of a democracy because that’s about the only time when the mass of voters get informed and educated on issues that matter to their life, their health and their security. A democracy isn’t only about governance. It is, above all, about the highest form of public education and that’s what an electoral campaign is all about. And that’s why, particularly in these times, those who feel strongly about certain public issues, should run.”
Chi & Sleeplees:
Trillanes is on the verge of a roaring eagle and ready to fight and I am confident that he will win, he is like a stealth fighter silently conquering his opponent.—–Continue pouring support for him—
Iyong asterisks, Anna, Chi, ay para sa possible disqualification nila after election. Walang asterisk sa pangalan ni Sonny. Pero kwidaw tayo kasi ang balak ng mga ‘ayup i-abolish ang Senate para masolo na nila ang Pilipinas. Tanong, handa ba ang mga pilipinong ipaglaban ang karapatan nilang huwag mapailalim sa panunupig ni Mrs. Pidal?
Palagay ko para maalis ang mga daang-daang milyones na ginagastos ng mga kakandidato para sa senador,gawin na lang natin bawat probinsya na lang.Isang Tongressman at isang Senatong kada probinsya ng sa ganoon ay magkaroon ng balance,Presidente at Vice president na lang ang iboto nationwide.Ilan ba ang probinsya sa Pilipinas?sabihin na nating 200 ang probinsya,di bali magiging 200 ang senatong at 240 ang Tongressman,samakatuwid mayroon tayong about 450 mga kurakot.Gagastos ng 3 milyon ang bawat isa sa probinsyang nasasakupan nila tuwing election ay makakatipid pa kumpara sa ginagastos ng mga kakandidato sa nationwide election ng mga senador.Mababawasan ang kurakutan dahil ang mga tao sa probinsya ay may participation.Maaalis na iyang mga trapong Senatong na iyan,Mahihirapan ng manuhol ang Presidente dahil sa halip na 24 senatong lang ang lalagayan niya ay magiging 200.Sa 200 na senatong na iyan ay siguro maraming mga “Black Horses” magkakaroon ngayon ng balance ang Lower at Upper House.—-Okey ba ang suggestion ko mga Pare ko.–Isipin ninyong mabuti.
Ngayon pa lang gumagala na ang mga galamay ng mga TUTA ng magasawang demonyo, e di mas higit pa tyanak sa eleksyon.
Kaya magbantay tayong lahat, sa darating na halalan wag matakot!
Hopefully, iyong in-charge ng election dito sa Japan bagamat kabalen ni Unano ay pusong pinoy pa rin at ang loyalty niya ay nasa bansa niya at hindi doon sa nakaupong kriminal na baboy na bastos pa. Pero last year, siya rin ang in-charge, nakadaya pa. Sa totoo duda ako sa kaniya.
Dito sa Mindanao especially sa Region 10 (Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte and Camiguin) ang mga tao ay uhaw sa katotohanan.
Sa lahat ng nakausap namin para sa kandidatora ni Trillanes ay gusto ring mangampanya para sa kanya.
Kaunti man ang logistics namin dito ay buo naman ang mga puso nga makitang manalo ang ating kandidato.
Kung nais ninyong mag volunteer dito sa Region 10 mag txt lamang sa 0928-427-3535
Magdalo;
Kudos, Amigo!
Trillanes will win! Although I went to some lengthy argument around the corner and in the coffee shop that he does not have any political experience. I agree, on that comment. But, here is my insight. Doctors have to go to medical school and pass the board exam before they become physician and treat patients, same as, lawyers must pass the bar exam before become a member of the court. Even mechanics need an apprenticeship before becoming certified technicians, But, in Politics ,No Experience Required. His lack of experience in politics has no bar for him in running. Yes, he can be a risk-taker, but, he’s most likely to focus on the problem than the command of the self serving interest of the lapdogs. And, for better or worst he’ll embrace the idea that seems to ambitious, unworkable or even looney to his veteran colleagues in the senate.
He is more likely to win this election under particular circumstances. He is handsome, courageous and underdog, as what Fernando had said we glorify the Api. He fare best because the TU are all greedy trapos and their political warfare has turned off voters and the government of Arroyo is facing corruptions and other crisis. When the traditional politician don’t seem up to the challenge of the day, voters are more willing to take a change with somebody new. Trillanes Rises to Occasion. That is my foresight about Trillanes, Magdalo!
mahirap talaga pag walang support ng mga tao sana magkaisa tayo para kay trillanes.
pareng cocoy:
hindi parliamentary system ang gusto mo kundi federalism 🙂
The argument that federalism helps to secure democracy and human rights has been influenced by the contemporary public choice theory. It has been argued that in smaller political units, individuals can participate more directly than in a monolithic unitary government. Moreover, individuals dissatisfied with conditions in one state have the option of moving to another. Of course, this argument assumes that a freedom of movement between states is necessarily secured by a federal system.
pareng cocoy, let it be known that in politics most of your enemies had no faces. you don’t even know them cause they are not just a political opponent…. perhaps, experience may not be a prerequisite yet knowing what to do and what really you can do to all the people that surrounds you is the best thing for you. our country is really very sick of all the corruptions left and right, here and there… aside from impeachment and overthrow that current government what more they can do and offer to solve these issues? they should let the people know…..
corruption is more than the dreaded aids in which doctors, pharmacist and chemist are still squeezing their brains to find the cure… just like entering into a trial in which you don’t have any idea where to favor, whether to the defense panel or to the prosecution…. unless until you are willing to listen to both sides arguments and make up your mind…..
neophytes… really are hot blooded, they’re just like new pma graduates… excited to be included in combat operations wishing to be appreciated by superiors upon accomplishing their missions…. yet politics is not that way around….. as they says that in politics there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies…. well, it means that whoever your friends today might be your enemies the next day and vise versa….. truth is you can never please everybody….
Ellen:
Your blog was inaccessible again between 11 am and 3 pm Manila time. But anyway, here’s another note from Arkibo for those voting for the partylist. Kahit may asterisks, iboto ninyo. It will be the will of the people VS Comelec ang labas niyan pagnagkataon. Time to show these crooks who their real bosses are—ang taumbayan!!!

Mabuhay ka. Ang tapang mo! Being true to the example set by the Magdalos of more than a century ago! Kahanga-hanga! Kaya sinong may sabing walang pag-asa ang mga pilipino! Keep up the spirit! May pupuntahan din ang mga pagtitiis ninyo!
joel:
tungkol dyan sa gasgas ng iyong sasakyan
baka naman sobrang gara pagdating sa pormahan?
tama kaya ang iyong hinala
na kalaban ang may gawa?
wala ka bang napagkaitan at hindi napagbigyan
sa mga taong gala o tambay sa lansangan
na sa t-shirt ni trillanes ay hindi naabotan?
baka naman meron at di mo lang matandaan?
huwag mong alalahanin kung sasakyay’y hindi maporma,
di naman yan nakakaapekto sa iyong pigura?
pera mong pambili ng pintura ay maiging itabi muna
o ilaan mo na lang kaya sa mga kumakalam na sikmura.
Lahat ng kalokohan alam ng mga Pidal. Bakit ba tinatanong pa kung totoo o hindi ang sinabi ni Joel? Pambihira talaga ang mga tuta ni Unano. Ginagawa pang sinungaling ang mga sinusuka siya kasi ayaw niyang may kakompetensiya siguro sa pagka sinungaling niya magnanakaw pa!!! Basta pagbuthin natin ang kompanya.
ystakei:
meron din napabalita dito sa Kamaynilaan noong nakaraang linggo tungkol sa mga streamers na nakalagay sa kahabaan ng EDSA na biktima umano ng pinintahan ng itim na pintura.
ang mga streamers na ito ay nag-e-endorso ng mga produkto o sa madaling salita ay mga advertisement.
kagagawan siguro ito ng mga kalaban sa industriya, na marahil ay humihiling na mga mukha naman ng mga politiko ang i-endorso imbes na mga produkto.
umaasa ako na sa susunod na gagawa nito ay mga culture jammers na at hindi mga bayaran ng mga trapo!
hmmm huwag naman sobrang sipsip….. ako’y walang kinakampihan at lalong wala akong politikong iniendorso at inaalagaan….. kung sa nagyari sa kotse ni joel ako nakikialam… opinyon ko yun at walang kinalaman ang sino mang herodes dyan… masama ang magbintang… lalo pa’t wala kang katibayan….
ipagpalagay nating nahuli nya ang lumapastangan sa kanyang mamahaling sasakyan ano kaya ang gagawin nya? ngingitian? kakamayan? bibigyan ng poster? bibigyan ng t-shirt? maari pero parang hindi eh… maaring tadyak o bigwas?..hindi naman siguro… maaring mura lang…. o sampahan ng kaso… damage to property…. ah hindi rin baka sabihin nyang “bilhan mo ng pintura yan”….
Cocoy,
Thanks. Kahit ang pinsan ko na may Trillanes sticker ay nilapitan ng dalawang tao at ipinatatanggal ang sticker! Ano ba ‘yan?! Ang kay Joel ay vandalized. Ang sa pinsan ko ay kinausap lang daw siya dahil siguro ay nakita nila ang isang sticker na St. Luke’s (he’s a doctor there). Di ba doon nagbabakasyon si Fartso?! Nasaan ang sinasabing democracy sa Pinas kung sticker lang ay walang karapatang malayang maglagay sa mga sasakyan ang mamamayan?!
Chi..pati ba naman yung st luke’s gusto nilang sakupin? bakit sila na ba ang may-ari ng St Luke’s?!!??!! super kapal ng 2 mokong na yun ah…fartso and tyanak are really peeing in their pants…talagang insecure na sila. i amsure they already have an exit plan when worst comes to worst. malamang may nakahandang private jet ang pamilya kurakot either in fort boni or in clark…kaya todo kamkam nman ng mga herodes nila ang mga military camps na pwedeng pagkasyahan ng chopper or may airfield…
whatever happens….hindi ako uurong kung rebolusyon ang solusyon!
pati PEPCOALITION tiniira ni abalos-ulyanin? tarantado talaga ang mga yan…puro bayaran tlaga sila!!!!! wait till Philip Piccio hears about this….
Malaya news says, “COMMISSION on Elections chair Benjamin Abalos Sr. yesterday said it is still too early to be disappointed over the low turnout of Filipinos for the overseas absentee voting (OAV) exercise since the voting has just started and Filipinos have a tendency to procrastinate.”
Tarantado talaga ang appointee na ito ni Unano. Mali-mali ang listahan nila at akala niya siguro makakalusot pa sila sa Japan. Ang dami kong kaibigan hindi natanggap ang kanilag voting kit e umpisa na ang eleksyon ng mga pilipino dito. Kaya sabi ng kaibigan ko, manigas sila. Hindi na raw siya boboto. Mag-a-apply na lang daw siya ng Japanese citizenship pero sabi ko sa kaniya kung no read no write siya ng Japanese ay huwag na lang kasi hindi rin siya makakaboto. Ako ng kundi pa sumaling nag-volunteer sa campaign ng isang aktibistang haponesang nakilala ko hindi pa nga ako magiging as concerned as I am now. At least, dito, hindi personality ang ibinoboto, kundi platform.
Mapapamura ka talaga sa mga kagaguhan ng mga tuta ni Bansot. Sa kadadaya nila, ‘taragis, pawardi-wardi ang labas ng eleksyon. This midterm election is definitely going to be the dirtiest. E baka manisi pa si Abalos na ang mga tao ang may kasalanan imbes na siya at ang mga bobong alipores niya. Golly, gusto pa raw automated election, e ang alam lang naman ng mga kinukuha nilang operator ng computer ay iyong mga mahilig magpadala ng viruses, worms and bugs! Kahapon lang nga ako nakakuha ng mga PC bugs pagpunta sa mga blog na pinoy. lalo na kapag pumasok ang mga tuta ni Unano. Buti na lang naka-alert agad ang virus buster ko.
Kakakulo ng dugo!
SS,
Pakisabi mo sa lider ng grupo ninyo may limang asterisks ang PEP Coalition. Akala siguro kasama sa grupo nina Satur Ocampo. Ano iyan? Buti pa nga ang mga pulis ng Tokyo alam nang burgis na si Joma! 😛 Si Assperon pinipilit pang buhayin ang mga patay at pinatay nila! Ang bobo naman!
Soleil,
Aba, lalong nagkakampanya ang aking mga pinsan for Trillanes after that incident. My cousin said that in his Q.C. neighborhood ay pumapatok pa raw si Trillanes. Panic mode na ang mga Pidals.
Huh, pati ba naman PEPC ay may asteriks! Pinagsamantalahan na nga nila ang pondo para sa edukasyon ng mga bata na tulo-pawis talaga ng mga parents tapos e bababuyin pa nila ang organization nito. If there’s a group that needs total support of the pinoys, isa diyan ang PEP Coalition. Malakas ang binabangga ninyo Soleil!
magdalo sa region 10,
Marami kang kasama, whisper system nga lang ang karamihan. Pero effective e, marami silang nakukuha para kay Trillanes!
Pareng Alegadown;
Re;”Hindi parliamentary system ang gusto mo kundi Federalism”.
Yeah! You read my blueprint, and you are smart to read my mind. Hehehehe!
It is about time to change the form of our government to avoid the present massive corruption. As I can see, our elected politician applied wrong systems of government, they could not rule and run our country well, they are greedy who satisfy their ambition in power and in the process they have ruined our country, they looted our treasures and suppressed civil and human rights, and who can stop them? Is a big question mark…If we can change the present form of government, is a big relief. All of us know that it is the President, who holds all the power in our country right now, her wicked thinking causes all the muddle, as we know she is a little person who sits in a chair bigger than her,she’s the one who holds our destiny and, therefore,we let her acts she likes without any restrain from her squadrons and battalion of corrupt politicians. The truth is that she is the chief servant of the people and not the master of the people.–Time to change the bulok system na noong pang panahon ni Limahong.As we can see, today those countries which have federal form of government are leading in the world, especially from the economic point of view. Such as the countries like: USSR, Germany, USA, Switzerland and the rest are following the federal form.—Maybe, we can talk the advantages of federal form nexttime.I don’t like parliamentary form of government,mayayaman lang ang magiging minister d’yan at magiging dynasty and the worst it will be a lifetime career for them.
Tatlong araw makalipas ang pagsisimula ng botohan para sa mga senador at party-list ay nakaboto na rin ako kaninang hapon. Napakaluwag ng mga voting precincts dahil kokonti pa lamang sa mga registered OAV ang gumampan sa tungkulin na bomoto. Tatlong COMELEC watchers ang nakatalaga sa bawat precincts. Maayos naman ang sistema nila doon.
Naitanong ko nga sa mga COMELEC watchers na mga guro sa International Philippine School in Al-Khobar/Saudi Arabia kung kumusta ang unang dalawang araw ng botohan. Nakakalungkot ang kanilang mga sagot na kokonting OFWs ang pumunta upang bomoto.
Ang nasabi ko naman ay dahil hanggang 5:00PM lamang ang botohan kaya hindi na nagtutungo ang mga OFWs kung ang paglabas nila sa kanilang mga opisina ay 4:00PM. Gahol sa oras.
Malalaman namin itong darating na Huwebes at Biyernes kung madaragdagan ang mga bomotong OFWs dahil iyan ang week-end namin dito sa Gitnang Silangan.
Mabuhay ka Emil.
Sana ay mas maraming bumoto, at hindi sa kokonti ay sapagkat nawalan na sila ng tiwala sa prosesong ito at ipinababahala na nila sa mga Pidal ang future ng Pinas.
Cocoy,
Only this morning that my hubby and I discussed about the form of government that would fit Pinas. I also like a federal one, kasi ay napapag-iwanan ang ibang parte ng Pinas. Kung merong politikong responsable sa bawat region ay magiging maganda ang tsansa ng check and balance at tuloy ay hindi concentrated sa presidente ang power.
Tama ang obserbasyon mo sa mga bansang binanggit mo sa taas, controlled ang power ng lider. Sa Pinas ngayon ay naging absolute power ang hawak ng bogus na pangulo! Ang daming rason kung bakit naging ganito ang takbo ng Pinas, pero lahat ay magsilbi sanang lessons na hindi na muli malilimutan ng sambayanan.
Dapat talaga ay pag-aralang mabuti ang ipapalit na porma ng gobyerno ayon sa epektibong daloy ng yaman sa lahat ng rehiyon. Hindi iyong merong pulubi at merong spoiled regions base sa gusto at dikta ng presidente.
Thanks, Chi – pero mayroong agam-agam ang karamihan ng nakaka-usap ko. Nawala ang kanilang enhusiasm na gampanan ang karapatan na bomoto dahil nga sa nangyaring dayaan noong May 2004.
Ang madalas na nababanggit nila ay “Bahala na!”. Dahil nga sa napanood nila noong minsan sa TFC Global sa Urong Sulong ng Team Unity at nagsalita ni Magsaysay kung papaano ang sistema ng dayaan ang magaganap simula sa presinto hanggang sa municipal counting. Nagbibiro nga siya pero mas malamang na magaganap ang scenario na iyan. Mahirap naman pangunahan ang itong mga kababayan. Ipinahayag ko lamang na nakaboto na ako at nang aking ipinakita ang kanang hinlalaki na mayroong stamp pad mark.
Dito ibang klase ang dayaang ipapairal ng Comelec. Voting by mail, kaya lutong makaw ang mga bota na kunyari nagkamali ang Japan Post na ipinadala sa Pilipinas, tapos iyong mga ginawa nilag balota, ipapadala nila sa Tokyo. Kaya ang proposal namin ay mag-petition na huwag tanggapin ang mga botong galing sa Comelec. Ginawa na ang gayong pandaraya in the last election. Mukhang uulitin na naman. Sanay ang mga tagarito na sundin ang batas as is. Hindi kailangan baguhin ang meaning ng pangungusap na ginamit sa batas. Ang linaw-linaw naman ng mga procedure kung bakit itong si Abalos binababoy ang patakaran para lang makadaya para sa kabalen niya. Kitang-kita at buking na buking na ang pandaraya nila arya pa rin ang mga ugnas.
Kawawang Pilipinas! BTW, dito din sa Japan, hindi kasing enthusiastic ang mga pilipino dito ngayon na bumoto dahil sa pandaraya ni Unano noong nakaraang eleksyon. Golly, patalsikin na, now na!
ysrakei,..tama ka …kung ganyan ang gusto nilang labanan…lahat ng may asterisks(*) lalu nating suportahan. mas madaling matandaan ang iboboto mo dahil may palatandaan….
Emil,
Nakakalungkot ang pagkadala ng mga tao. Parang resigned na silang magtiis hanggang matigok si Tianak! Lalaban pa rin tayo hanggang mabanaagan natin ang isang magandang umaga para sa ating susunod na henerasyon!
sorry Ystakei, got your name misspelled…
Pag nagbasa ka ng blogs, lalo na sa OFW fora, OFWs ang nangunguna lalo tungkol sa paglaban kay Pandak. Nakakapagtaka kung bakit despite that, napakababa, according to the news, ng voter turnout sa OAV centers. Naglalaro tuloy ang mga tanong sa utak ko:
1. Totoo bnag maraming OFWs ang bumoto kay Gloria nung 2004 o napeke na naman tayo? Malaki raw ang turnout noon diba?
2. Kung bumoto sila nung 2004, bakit hindi ngayon?
3. Marami bang sadyang na-disenfranchised ngayon? O tinatamad na lang?
4. Magsisihabol ba sila sa last minute?
5. Kung 10% lang ng OFWs ang bumoboto, di ba sayang lang ang gastos ng OAV, nagiging butas pa para mandaya ang sinumang nakaupo?
6. Dapat bang amendahan ang batas, o dapat nang tapusin?
Tongue,
Gloria won in Belgium in 2004 with Ping taking second place and FPJ a distant third, but of course, that was what the chargé d’affaires told me – there was really nobody (I didn’t go and check because I was in Paris to vote) to confirm that except for the embassy people themselves.
Maraming tumutulong kay Trillanes na hindi niya alam kung sinu-sino. Pag nanalo siya, dapat lang niyang suklian ng tapat serbisyo ang lahat ng tao dahil maraming efforts ay boluntaryo.
Maganda rin itong litmus test kung ang eleksiyon ba ay patuloy na dedesisyunan sa paraang pera-pera lang o sa pagiging matalino na ng mga botante. Boboto ng dahil sa isyu at hindi dahil sa uso. Maging ang administrasyon nga sumakay na sa uso.
Pansinin nyo ang posters ng administrasyon, halatang dumidistansiya kay Pandak, WALANG PARTDO NA NAKALAGAY, maging Lakas man o Kampon! Maging Nasyunal man o Lokal! Kung nung 2001 at 2004 nakalitrato pang itinataas ni Bansot ang kamay ng lahat ng mga kasabwat, este kapartido pala, ngayon, kaninong litrato ang kasama si Gloria?
Meron ba?
Anna,
And that’s the same tall tale all over the planet, that Gloria was the OFWs bet.
Para sa inyong lahat na sumang-ayon at dumugtong ng salitain sa aking naibalita, MARAMING SALAMAT.
Meron pa akong dagdag na balita na lalong nagpatibay sa aming loob para lalong pag-ibayuhin ang aming pagpapangampanya kay TRILLANES…
1. May isang kilalang gambling lord sa norte na nag-alok ng 30 million pesos bilang “campaign contribution” — sagot ni Trillanes: Salamat. Di namin kailangan ang pera ninyo. Principyo ang bala namin hindi pera.
2. May isa pang kilalang grupo ng mga kapatid nating Intsik, gusto ring mag-abot ng halos 20 million pesos — sagot ni Trillanes: Salamat. Di namin kailangan ang pera ninyo. Principyo ang bala namin hindi pera.
Ganyan manindigan si Trillanes!
Update dito sa Region 10, malapit nang maging buo ang support base from the Guardian Philippines, Inc (GPI) and Philippine Guardian Brotherhood, Inc (PGBI). Marami rami na ring cause-oriented groups and community-based groups ang nag signify ng support.
Meron akong tanong na nais kong mabigyan ninyo ng inyong commentaryo.
Ok lang kaya magsabit ng tipong WANTED VOLUNTEERS na ad sa ating campaign vehicle dito sa Region 10? di kaya dyahe? First time kong sumabak sa ganitong pagkampanya kaya sana mabigyan ninyo kami ng suggestions or bright ideas.
Pasensya na kung hindi ko mabigyan ng commentaryo isa-isa ang mga comments ninyo, paalis na ulit kami towards eastern towns (going to Camiguin and Gingoog city) to continue postering and being with people for Trillanes.
Mga tol, birthday ko nga ngayon pero walang time out dito sa campaign. Paki bati nyo na lang ako ha, hehehe.
Salamat na muli.
Gusto mo bang tulungan ang iyong bansa? Sa paraang walang gastos, madali lang at hindi delikado?
Isulat mo lang sa Balota mo sa espasyong para sa Senador ang Trillanes.
Siguradong malaki kaagad ang naitulong mo! Tulad ng mga Magdalo, isa ka ring bayani!
Iyan na lang ang ilagay mo sa campaign vehicle. Siguradong makaka-relate sila kay Trillanes kung maaalala nila ang Magdalo. Kikilitiin din nito ang damdaming bayani o makabayan ng bawat Pinoy. Ang nasa sentro ng interseksyon ng mga katagang “magdalo” at “bayani”, walang iba kundi si Trillanes.
Happy Birthday sa iyo, magdalo. Pagbutihin ninyo. Salamat.
Magdalo;
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Pagbutihin mo ang kumpanya.May mga kumpare at kaibigan kaming secret-secret sa pangungumpanya,baka makita-kita kayo at magkasalubong.
Mga Misis Boto n’yo Trillanes!
Magdalo, Happy Birthday!
Sige, ingat na lang kayo dahil takot si Tianak at Assperon kay Trillanes.
“Prinsipyo ang bala namin, hindi pera”. Kapag nanalo si Trillanes, at dapat naman, wala siyang babayarang utang na loob sa mga lordies! I like this guy!
Pareng Alegadown;
I agree with your comment that in politics most of your enemies had no faces.–It’s definitely politically correct. My stand, to these kind of bozo politician, is that they can go to hell! We as a people can only be ignored and taken advantage of so much before we just tune ourselves out. In spite of their failure to serve us, we must let them know directly in their faces and ignore them by not voting for them. We must demand our rightful authority over this politicians and be adamant in making them serve their responsibilities and their servitude toward us. We are not here to serve them or to fund their self interest. We can not allow them to damage or curtail our way of life anymore than they already have.–It is not them–it is us, we, the people matter!..Danugin ko pa sila Manong pag loloko-loko sila sa akin.
Too many families have, and continue to suffer needlessly because of our present corrupt administration, the predicaments are surmounting and worsening since punggok grabbed power. We must bring her carelessness and negligence to a screeching halt. We have to do that, what we must do? Ay simpol lang siguro Manong–One plus one ay equals two– kaya boto ka na sa GO….Mga Misis Boto n’yo Trillanes para malinis!
Chi;
Para sa akin ang mas nararapat na ipalit sa sistema ng gobyerno natin ay Federalism,at hindi Parliament.Maybe,we can discuss a topic of Federal Government sa susunod na talakayan.Importante manalo muna ang GO na ayaw sa Parliamentary form na niluluto ni punggok.Depende iyan sa outcome ng election.Pag kulang ang numero sa Tongress,ay bulilyaso na naman,Bokya,Ganon din sa Senado,kailangan majority ang opposition para matuloy ang impeachment.”Kala ni Pandak lusot na siya”.Haan pay kumansyon si Fat Lady,at aguray ka muna Gloria,haan ka pay agsagsaya.–Subukan pamo,para mabalo!
Tongue T:
Nabisto namin ang dayaan sa Tokyo noong 2004. Simple arithmetic lang. Iyong discrepancy may explanation in fact coming from a reliable source kaya laqng hindi siya puwedeng bumalandra. Ako lang ang nagreklamo. Pero sabi problema daw iyan ng mga pilipino. Out daw ang haponesang katulad ko kahit na may lahing pinoy. Galing ng entrada ng mga ungas!
Iyong pinandaya mga balota na kunyari missent to Manila kahit na imposibleng mangyari. Galing ng gimmick ng mga gangster talaga. Mafia style. Kakataka kung bakit natatanggap ng mga sumasanib sa kanila ang mga ganyang kahayupan. Halatang itong mga kunyari makabayan na pilipinong kakampi ni Pidal ay galit sa mga pilipino kaya ke sihodang maghirap sila.
Kawawang Pilipinas!
Magdalo sa region 10:
OK lang ang magtawag ng volunteer. Dapat lang. Isang innovation iyan para matoto at maging politically matured ang mga pilipino. Bigyan ng listahan ng boboto ang bawat isa at sabihang magpadala ng imbitasyon sa mga botante na magboluntaryo rin kung gusto nila. The more the merrier sabi nga! Good luck sa inyo! Mabuhay kayo!
Happy Birthday pala, Magdalo! Sana walang magtangka sa buhay mo sa ginagawa mo. Baka malagyan ka rin ng asterisks!!!! 😛
Chi: I like this guy.
*****
Me, too! Iyan ang sinasabing pag-asa ng bayan. Baka maging katulad siya ni Rawlings ng Ghana o mas mahusay pa. Sana nga!
TonGuE-tWisTeD Says: “Anna, And that’s the same tall tale all over the planet, that Gloria was the OFWs bet.”
tongue, ano gusto mo, idemanda kita ng mass murder sa sinabi mo’ng ‘yan?
DINAYA TAYO NOONG 2004! DINAYA TAYO NOONG 2004! DINAYA TAYO NOONG 2004!
o, hirit ka pa?
happy birthday magdalo! mabuhay ka at sampo ng iyong mg kasama.
thank you Yuko for the advise. i already sent your emails and Emil’s (w/o ur names of course!)re the irregularity.
yes Chi…super laki ang mga kabangga naming mga maliliit na magulang. and to think all we want is what is due us. not even us directly but our children’s education. marami na namang madadagagang mga bata ang hindi makakapagpatuloy sa kanilang pinapasukan. marami sa mga batang babae ay mapapa-sabak maging GRO, mga lalaki na papatol mag-moonlighting para mapilitang maiahon ang kanilang sarili at makatapos kahit paano. may mga high school na nsa private ang hindi rin muna mag-papatuloy. aasahan nating parang sardinas na naman ang mga public school sa pasukan. and this is what pandak is boasting about!..LECHE NYA!!!!! taon-taon ay nadaragdagan ang mga nag-p*p*ta dahil hindi sapat kahit sila ay magparttime khit sa jolibee or mcdo. minsan ang iba, kahit na doon gustong pumasok ay hindi makapasok dahil hindi makapasa sa criteria nila.
Alegadown and Nelbar,
Federalism is not the topic here. It’s clear that you are purposely and maliciously trying to derail the discussion here. I will not allow that.
sinasabi ko na nga ba.
pero, mga kapatid, huwag kayong mag-alala, kapag naging topic ang pidalism, este federalism, i-cut and paste na lang natin ang inyong balitaktakan dito, okey?
Magdalo, Happy Birthday and Good Luck!
I met another of your member yesterday at the Black and White launching of the White List, Black List – Fermin Mabulo (PMA Class ’95), running for mayor in San Fernando, Camarines Sur.
He is the younger brother of Sabas “Abang” Mabulo, who is running against Dato Arroyo. Fermin is running for the position that Abang vacated.
Fermin, who was not in Oakwood, was detained for three months in 2003. he is no longer with the AFP.
Marami kasi ang patutunguhan ng isyu sa usapin ng Pederalismo.
Para sa akin, unang una na maapektuhan dito ay ang populasyon ng Pilipinas.
Kung magkakahati-hati ang Republika ng Pilipinas ay malamang na maapektuhan ang estado ng populasyon nito sa pandaigdigan kalakaran.
Parang iyong nangyari sa Ethiopia at Eritrea na dating nasasakupan ng Somali Region.
Kung hindi ito nagkahati-hati ay malamang na isang pwersa ang kanilang populasyon sa horn of Africa.
At hindi ang Vietnam o Mexico ang kalaban natin sa PADAMIHAN NG TAO, kundi ang bansa sa Africa.
Ipagpaumanhin mo Ellen, nag-react lang naman ako dun sa itaas.
salamat na marami …just sharing
the guy who did that to your car was an a-****, joel.

I am not much of a writer but Ellen’s blog is so inviting for comments. Thanks for the opportunity.
Trillanes was finally interviewed by TV today. I just saw TV patrol.Interview by Korina Sanchez. It was good. In fighting form against corruption. He didn’t regret what he did although he paid a high price for that. Aside from his freedom, he lost a child while in detention.
He said Gloria Arroyo will cheat again this election in the same way that she cheated in 2004. Full interview will be shown tomorrow on Korina Today, ANC at 1 pm.
ellen, thanks for the information. yah i got a text message about the interview last night over TV patrol. Unfortunately our new safe house has no TV set yet. I’d rather spend the money to campaign for Trillanes. I will try to hang around some coffee shops with TV for tomorrow’s complete rolling of that interview.
Magdalo, you may try to catch the replay saturday, and sunday, ANC. I’ll get the schedule of replays. Thre will be more interviews of him. On Monday, he will be on ANC, Halalan 2007 again at 6 pm.
There are schedules for interviews with Channel 7.
Last replay of Trillanes interview by Korina Sanchez:
Sunday (April 22) 5 p.m. ANC
