A close look at the tally sheets of local absentee voting for the police, military and government personnel will show that the highest number of votes among the senatorial candidates went to Panfilo Lacson, Gregorio Honasan, Francis Escudero, and Antonio Trillanes IV.
Of the four, only Escudero of the Genuine Opposition, is not from the military.
Lacson, Honasan, and Trillanes are all graduates of the Philippine Military Academy. Lacson and Honasan had their careers in the police and the army, respectively, before going into politics. It’s not surprising that they enjoy the support of the men in uniform.
It should not be surprising also for members of the police and military to be supporting Trillanes, being one of them. Except that Trillanes is under detention and on trial for coup d’etat and other charges related to what is known as the Oakwood mutiny on July 27, 2003.
The military leadership was not exactly subtle about their hostility to the young navy officer, who was the spokesman of a group of idealistic officers who exposed rampant irregularities in the AFP. Not content with giving out verbal instructions to vote 12-0 in favor of Team Unity senatorial bets, Army chief Romeo Tolentino issued an order to tear down Trillanes posters in the vicinity of army camps. That Trillanes is among the senatorial race leaders means that many of the policemen and soldiers found a way to support Trillanes through their votes.
After the release of the Pulse Asia/ABS-CBN exit polls, relatives and close friends of Trillanes got several messages from active military officers asking them to convey to the detained senatorial bet that they voted for him. Some of those maybe messages of opportunism from those who now recognize Trillanes’ political importance.
But it’s easy to believe that the bulk of the more than 11 million votes that Trillanes is supposed to have garnered (35.4 percent, according to Pulse Asia/ABS-CBN nationwide exit poll) could be from the men in uniform and members of their families.
Trillanes rated well all over the country (except of course in Maguindanao and other places where normal elections didn’t take place), even in places like Lanao del Sur (incomplete results placed him in No. 5) . The police and military are institutions with presence all over the country.
Malacañang and the military must be regretting the day they allowed Trillanes to register as a voter on Dec. 10, 2006 which paved the way to his filing his certificate of candidacy on Feb. 6, 2007.
Trillanes registered as an independent candidacy for senator but found his way in the opposition ticket when political opportunism left a slot open. That put him in the big league in the electoral battle that was seen as a referendum on the increasingly unpopular administration of Gloria Arroyo.
Inclusion in the Genuine Opposition ticket was a major boost to his candidacy but it was still handicapped by his detention, lack of access to media, and lack of money.
Almost everybody, even the opposition leaders, underestimated his chances of winning. Which was both good and bad. Good because he was spared the demolition operation like the one Malacañang unleashed on another GO candidate Alan Cayetano. It was only a week before the campaign, when Trillanes dramatically moved up to number 15 in the survey, that the administration started their black propaganda. Defense Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane made the silly allegation that the detained officer is being supported by the New People’s Army.
Bad because it made fundraising very difficult. Who of the businessmen would want to contribute to someone who was seen as having a very little chance of winning?
In his post-election message posted in the Magdalo blogsite, Trillanes revealed that “In fact, by the first week of March, when our resources were about to be depleted, our campaign had been practically sustained and carried forth by an intense spirit of volunteerism all over the country and from all walks of life.”
Trillanes’ candidacy is phenomenal in the sense that it defied all traditional campaign practices. It is said that the more hands you shake and babies you kiss, the more votes you get. He was unable join campaign sorties because he was in prison.
It is said you have to have a budget of a low of P250 million and a high of P500 million to win a Senate seat. I doubt if Trillanes had P50 million for his campaign.
It is said that an endorsement by the Iglesia ni Cristo increases your chance of winning. He was not in the list endorsed by INC.
It is said that in a campaign, one has to be a pacifist and should take a non-controversial position on issues. In all his media interviews, Trillanes traced the root of the country’s problems to Gloria Arroyo’s lack of electoral mandate.
Unlike Honasan who apologized for this participation in past coup attempts, Trillanes refused to apologize for what happened in Oakwood in 2003 and cited a provision in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights that rebellion is justified if the government is working against the interest of the people.
He has categorically said that if there’s an impeachment trial against Arroyo, he will vote for her ouster.
Television has become the battleground for the hearts and minds of voters. Candidates pour hundreds of millions of pesos on TV ads to increase their name recall on voters. Trillanes didn’t have TV ads until Sen. Jamby Madrigal came along and sponsored their placement in the last four weeks to Election Day. Even with that, it was no match to the TV ads of administration candidates Prospero Pichay and Joker Arroyo.
Trillanes acknowledged that the high media exposure he got in the last three weeks of the campaign after he was granted by the court media access was a big boost to his senatorial bid. Never mind that he was not camera savvy or glib in TV interviews. He was clear and forceful in his views and the voters liked what they saw and heard.
The denial by the Makati Regional Trial Court of his request for bail to campaign actually did him good, because it underscored his persecution by the Arroyo government. The denial of bail became glaring in the light of the granting of bail to Honasan, who is facing trial for allegations that he was the mastermind of the Oakwood mutiny and Nur Misuari, candidate for Sulu governor, who is imprisoned for staging a rebellion where a number of persons were killed.
Remarks of Malacañang officials indicate that they still can’t accept Trillanes’ senatorial win. Gloria Arroyo was asked by a correspondent of Asian Wall Street Journal about it and her reply was, “It’s too close to call.”
In his post- election message, Trillanes said, “I admit that we still have a long way to go before we can claim electoral victory and, as I have said before, I expect this administration to cheat.”
He asked his supporters to continue being vigilant “to ensure that your collective will is respected and upheld.”
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said even if Trillanes wins, it is doubtful if he could serve as senator because of the pending cases against him.
Arroyo and her officials still don’t get it. The 11 million votes for Trillanes is a resounding protest vote against her illegitimate presidency.
Every vote cast for Trillanes was an expression of hope that change is still possible in this country. Those who voted for him were responding to his message at the GO miting de avance that the May 14 election “ay huling mapayapang paraan para matanggal ang mga tiwali sa gobyerno para tayo maka-usad.” (This is our last chance for a peaceful way to remove the undesirables in the government so that we can progress).
If there is still a shred of care for the country left in Arroyo and her minions, they better heed the message of the people.
AMAZING! simply amazing! AMAZING GRACE INDEED!
Please allow me to post a portion of Antonio Abaya’s column:
TRILLANES TSUNAMI
Between the last SWS survey that came out on April 28 and Election Day on May 14, the largely invisible Trillanes, perhaps without even intending to, has caused an Intensity 4 tremor below the surface of Philippine politics. Whether this quake will cause a tsunami that will sweep across the land, or merely break up in the shallows, remains to be seen and will depend largely on how he plays his cards when he is allowed to by his jailers.
Will he be the New Magsaysay that Filipinos, especially the middle class, have been desperately searching for? Or, being now a threat to the ambitions of several high profile politicians (including Gloria Macapagal Arroyo), will he become the New Ninoy Aquino, who will wind up dead on arrival even before he can make his maiden speech?
What can I say, Trillanes is a phenomenon indeed!
Oy, bigla yatang kumambyo si Antonio Abaya! Ayaw maiwan sa pansitan?!
Ang galing ng article na ito…ng una ko itong nabasa di ko alam kung sino ang nagsulat at talagang ang ganda ng pakasulat hinanap ko sa dulo wala doon yun pangalan ng nagsulat yun pala nasa taas (malaya.com.ph) at si Ms. Ellen pala…super galing!
Ma’m Chi
Sa takbo ng pangyayari, marami tayong makikitang biglang kakambyo. Noon, pinagusapan natin dito ang mga namamangka sa dalawang ilog, pag nagkataon, kukulangin sa bangka sa mga gustong tumawid sa kabilang pampang. Even the and Lakas, pagmasdan natin ang kanilang magiging kilos. Slowly but surely, maglilipatan yan. It happened in almost all administration when the ship is already sinking, parang dagang magtatalunan ang mga yan. Mismo!
Sinabi mo pa Chi. Biglang baligtad ang ungas. Remember the article I shared with you guys and my reply at sabihan pa akong makitid daw when I berated him for calling the GO candidates “gago!” Nakikisawsaw na!
Kaya nga sleepless, ang advice ko pag-retire-rin na ang mga ungas. They should not be allowed to mix in the new breed of Senators na may paninindigan. Out with the trapo na. Hindi na dapat payagang makisalo pa ang mga balimbing!
Basta ako, ang tingin ko sa mga pangyayaring ito ay some Act of God. Pasok din diyan si Alan Cayetano because of his strong faith in God. Iyan ang mga taong dapat na binoboto na may takot at pananalig sa Panginoon.
I should na—na hindi plastik ang pagdarasal di tulad noong magnanakaw na sinungaling pa. Dasal ng dasal kuno pero demonyo naman ang gawa!
Three opinions adding to Trillanes’ phenomenon:
1. William Esposo – Philippine Star:
The phenomenal 9th place showing of detained officer Trillanes in the ABS-CBN-Pulse Asia Exit Poll clearly validates the people’s willingness to take an extreme route in order to seek relief from the issues against the GMA regime. Now an icon that frontally challenges the integrity and credibility of the present regime, Trillanes outpaced the other highly advertised and high-profile candidates despite the fact that he had not been allowed to go out and campaign.
2. Tony Lopez – Manila Times:
I will concede the elections are credible if the navy renegade Trillanes makes it as a senator.
3. Benito Lim, a UP professor:
Our young voters look at Trillanes and Escudero as the model for future politicians. They are very clear with their platform, they do not like President Arroyo, they question her legitimacy, they believe she is politicking instead of doing her job.
“After the release of the Pulse Asia/ABS-CBN exit polls, relatives and close friends of Trillanes got several messages from active military officers asking them to convey to the detained senatorial bet that they voted for him. Some of those maybe messages of opportunism from those who now recognize Trillanes’ political importance.”
Hindi nawawala kahit saan ang mga oportunista. Mabilis lumipat ng bangka!
We’ve seen and heard Trillanes here (U-tube and pnotos) at Ellenville, and I can honestly say that he’s a pricipled guy, ‘can not be bought’ and will remain to be an officer and a gentleman!
Way to go, Sonny!
It is true that fundraising was “very difficult” for Sonnny Trillanes. Indeed, “Who of the businessmen would want to contribute to someone who had very little chance of winning?”
I remember making phone calls until the very end asking for contributions & almost all the replies I got was “sure winner ba yan” ? It was quite frustrating because I realized that very few will gamble or take a chance even if it is for the good. That was the reality. A few days ago I got a call from one of those who declined to give a contribute to the campaign kitty of Sonny Trillanes. Surprisingly, he/she told me that if Trillanes wanted anything, he/she would want to help. I said, “it’s too late na yata for that. You should have taken the stand when you had to.”
What actually attracted me to Sonny Trillanes is his no-nonesence style. He was candid & straight to the point. He didn’t mince is words. Whatever it is he said, I liked it. Each time he let out his thoughts, it was like he gave HOPE.
I listened to an analyst on TV saying that he doubted that Sonny Trillanes would make it as Senator, including Alan Cayetano. He said Gloria would not permit that to happen. As a matter of fact, he said, they will cheat big time just to remove Trillanes & Cayetano from the Magic 12.
I, therefore, ask, is Gloria ready to go against the mandate given by the millions of voters who voted for Trillanes & Cayetano ? Better yet, will the millions of voters who voted for Trillanes & Cayetano make their voices heard on the streets should this happen ?
Hahahah!
Chabeli,
It’s too late for those who wanted to make small and big contributions for Trillanes campaign. Nakaraos na ang pinakamahirap na bahagi ng campaign, ang kapus-kapos sa pera.
Kaya nga ang mga volunteers ni Trillanes ay nagkasya na lang sa Divisoria at Chinatown para bumili ng campaign paraphernalia, galing sa mga sariling bulsa! Iyan ang may pinakamalaking hirap kay Sonny at iyong mga SILENT WHISPERERS at silent supporters and anonymous donors. Meron kayang real rich (except kay Jamby Madrigal) na nag-donate? Meron naman siguro, at salamat sa inyo!
And of course, and may-ari ng Ellenville, si Ellen Tordesillas na kahit sa ibang blogs ay tinitira. Ang laki ng hirap mo, Ellen. Thank you for letting us know this man, Sonny Trillanes, thru your blog.
“I, therefore, ask, is Gloria ready to go against the mandate given by the millions of voters who voted for Trillanes & Cayetano ?”
Not this time, Chabeli. Not this time!
Chi & Chabeli;
Yeah! It’s too late for those who want to make small and big campaign contribution for Trillanes.
Gusto na nilang pumapel ngayon,Ha? Mga balimbing,tumigil na kayo.Ang strategy na ginawa namin dito sa Ellenville ay secret-secret campaign before election para hindi maharass ang mga volunters.Si Pareng Joeseg ang naunang nangumpanya kay Trillanes,nag file siya ng vacation leave dito sa Ellenville University para mangumpanya siya ng full time,hangang ngayon ay di pa siya bumabalik,pero panatag ang loob namin ni Pareng Mrivera ko dahil alam namin na babalik siya,pag hindi siya bumalik ay gulpi sarado ang aabutin niya sa amin at sasarguhin namin siya,di ba Chi?
Gusto pang bawasan ng ng 100t ang boto ni Alan Cayetano at Chiz Escudero na nangaling sa Zambales, gusto pang lokohin ang mga Zambaleno mabuti na lang at nabantayan.Mga GO ang ibinoto ng mga tiga roon liban lang sa bayan ni Vic Magsaysay sa Castellejos na straight naTU ang nanalo, pero may nakuha rin na boto ang nga GO at nanalo pa sila doons.Tinalo ni Amor Deloso ang anak niyang si JB sa pagka Gobernador ,kaya hindi nadiktahan ni Vic ang mga botante doon.Mabuti pa si Singson at mahal siya sa Maguindanao number one siya at lahat ay bumoto sa kanya.
Pag nanalo si Trillanes,sasabihin ni Ermita,Gonzales,Esperon at Gloria sa publiko na ibinoto nila si Trillanes kaya siya nanalo.Si Singson nga pag nagkaroon ng presscon iyan ay sasabihin niya na ibinoto niya si Trillanes pati na si Defensor ay bumoto rin.
You’re right, Chi, “not this time”. Gloria’s machinery meant nothing when she was faced w/ the people’s vigilance.
The political arena has indeed changed. This elections proved that you don’t have to have money to win.
On another note, what a feeling to watch the proclamation of Fr. Ed Panlilio (of Pampangga). That is a clear case of of good will triumph over evil ! Yari si Mikey Arroyo.
This song is heartily dedicated to Tianak and her minions, especially Bunye who commented (Trillanes who?):
“I, I, I who have NOTHING!
I, I, I who have NO ONE!
Believe Me, that when I say…( pls. continue, I forgot the lyrics alreadi, he, he, he!)
Ellen, you’ve played a great part …Thanks to you!
Let’s not forget, Alan too. He’s putting up a good fight. Matapang din at vocal na vocal talaga!
I’m proud of this guy too!
Dapat mag-ingat siya baka bigla siyang maglaho. Malaki siyang balakid sa mga pangarap ng mga buwayang politiko mapa-administrasyon man o oposisyon.
Ipinagtataka ko lang sa eleksiyon na ito ay kung bakit sabi ng mga grupong GO na pro-impeachment sila. Bakit hindi sila naglagay ng mga malalakas na mga Congresista. Alam naman ng GO na kahit 11-0 pa sila na lalabas as Senators anong mangyayari sa impeachment. E di wala din. Palagay ko na sa mga darating na araw puro ngakngak ng ngakngak pa din sila. Karamihan sa kanila datung lang ang gusto nila.
Pag-asa na lang siguro natin ay itong si Trillanes. Sana hindi siya magbago. TRILLANES FOR PRESIDENT SA 2010!!!!!! MABUHAY KA.
Chabeli,
Now, who’s saying “walang papalit” kay Gloria?! Ang daming sumulpot na ‘ung uns’ to replace her! They make Blinky Tianak looks even more pathetic and inutile!
Yes, Elvira.
Soon, Blinky will wake up with NOTHING and NO ONE by her side. Baka pati si Oinky ay tuluyan na si Toh!
The end will be very, very lonely for the damned tiny lady of EK!
Etnad,
Kapos ang pera ng GO to field bets in the local level. Pero ang mga bigatin nila ay halos lahat nanalo. Also, I think that there’ll be a dramatic change in the house of tongressmen. Let’s see kung ano ang pakulo nila this time. They won’t take for granted our vigilance this time around, kundi ay masusunog silang lahat sa loob ng tongreso!
If there’s any group that Sonny owes bigtime, it was media, who helped deliver his messages and raised the voters’ awareness of him, some even had to sacrifice personal comforts to make sure he made the primetime news, late night news, public affairs specials, or even the hourly newsbreaks. What Sonny cannot afford to pay, the stations gave him for free. Even radio commentators had done him a lot.
Blogs like these also were instrumental in spreading the word – the loud ones and those whispered. The websites, too.
And of course, our own Ellen Tordesillas.
————
Ecstatic! That’s the best word I could use to describe the outpouring during the proclamation of Among Ed Panllio. Pampangueños were very emotional during that moment and people in my house were, too. Many people who were watching from across the country couldn’t help but envy them. I guess Camarines Sur folks still hoped Mabulo could slay the alien wanting to be their leader. Well, they still can.
Oopps, nalimutan no na pasalamatan ang media. Thanks Tongue for the reminder.
Sa media na tumulong kay Trillanes, Thank you very much!
Yes, Ms. Ellen Tordesillas, should be commended for helping Sonny Trillanes, but, above all, for not giving up the fight despite the odds; for inspiring most of us to be vigilant & to protect democracy !
Mabuhay po kayo, Ms. Ellen !
Never again should we let our guard down until this whole election period is over. We must bear in mind that the enemy is sly.
..Hats off too, to the Media !
Etnad
According to Ernie Maceda, the opposition fielded 144 candidates in the congressional level. As you are aware, GO/UNO is a hastily put up group primarily to carry the senatorial bets of the opposition. They don’t have built in advantage to form strong line up in the locals because of logistics. Unlike candidates of Kampi and Lakas who are promised of millions including the pork barrel of the incumbents, those who are identified with the opposition are scrounging for funds, a tremenduous drawback. We understand that Mrs. Arroyo will cling to the congressmen to avoid impeachment for the third time and rightly so, busog na busog ang kanilang congressional candidates.
Survival is the name of the game for Mrs. Arroyo. Di bale nang matalo sa mga TU senators, governor and mayor basta makalusot lang ang kanilang kakampi sa Bastusang Pambansa. Kaya doon nila ibinuhos ang pondo.
Got this joke today:
Welcome to the magical world of Enchanted Kingdom. U can witness the latest attractions that our theme park has to offer, witness how our magicians and sorceress can manipulate the results of an election in favor of our beloved midget, her Shortness, Queen Gloria. Welcome to Enchanted Kingdom, Maguindanao Branch. 🙂
Mike: Idagdag ko lang sa huli…
“… Welcome to Enchanted Kingdom, Maguindanao Branch, Barangay COMELEC”
Esperon’s take on Trillanes win GMANews.TV:
As far as Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon is concerned, a win by Genuine Opposition senatorial bet, ex-Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV, could at least minimize, if not eradicate, disgruntled soldiers from resorting to unconstitutional means in effecting changes in government.
Read his and Ebdane’s statements carefully. Mukhang they are up to something.
Chi: “After the release of the Pulse Asia/ABS-CBN exit polls, relatives and close friends of Trillanes got several messages from active military officers asking them to convey to the detained senatorial bet that they voted for him. Some of those maybe messages of opportunism from those who now recognize Trillanes’ political importance.”
*****
Believe you me, Chi, I got the same message from some military guys saying they are for Trillanes knowing that I have been promoting Trillanes in Japan as my contribution to the betterment of the Philippines.
It surely was a good feeling coming from these people who were kind of antagonistic before as when we protested against the plundering of Philippine patrimonies in Japan in 2004 when the Pandak tried to get rid of the ambassador’s residence to add to her fund campaign then.
Now, I have stronger faith in God because of Sonny Trillanes. His being able to surmount his great ordeals in this election and being able to get to the Magic 12 san ll the funfare is no doubt an Act of God.
The Midget should be warned that “God cannot be mocked!” She should not try, for she is going to reap what she has sowed.
Mukhang sinisimulan na nila ang pang-uuto, and at the same time para bang sinasabi niyang hindi na namin haharangin ang kanyang panalo para matahimik na ang mga sundalo. ULOL na Assperon, talagang hindi ninyo mahaharang ang panalo ni Trillanes dahil mga tao ang kalaban ninyo!
Tapos ay sasabihin niya na “should Trillanes or any other candidate lose, they should also accept their fate wholeheartedly.”
Why, dahil pipilitin ninyong dayain si Trillanes? There’s a lot in between lines of Assperon’s utterances! They themselves don’t know what to make out of Trillanes strong showing and eventual victory!
Ang nakikita ko lang sa kanyang mga pinagsasabi ay hindi na sila basta makapagsalita ng against kay Trillanes dahil mukhang kinakabahan sila ng todo sa “phenomenon” na taong kanilang inaapi ng husto!
DOUBLE- EDGED statements from an asshole!
Ellen:
Esperon should better shut his mouth or he takes the wrath of heaven upon himself and his loved ones. He should realize by now that this phenomenal victory of Trillanes is an Act of God that no one can thwart even with the use of their guns as when they eliminate those pollwatchers trying hard to make this election clean.
They should allow nature to take its course, and hear the Voice of God who must have prompted the people to cast their ballots for Trillanes and his fellow GOs whom God knows are willing and able to do as He now bids.
Dapat mangilabot siya sa pinagsasabi niya. Baka mawala lahat ang ipinanakaw sa kaniya ng amo niya! 😛
Chi: talagang hindi ninyo mahaharang ang panalo ni Trillanes dahil mga tao ang kalaban ninyo!
*****
No, Chi, hindi lang tao na ang kalaban nila kundi ang Panginoong nasa itaas. Golly, maski sila mismo hindi nila maipaliwanag ang panalo ni Sonny Trillanes. Inaasahan nilang mapipigil nila ang panalo niya pero wala silang magawa. Nabibisto agad ang gusto nilang gawin.
It is an Act of God. No doubt about that! Bukas nga magpa-fasting ako ulit to thank God for this victory of our favorite candidates lalo na itong si Sonny Trillanes.
I love this guy really for the opportunity he has given me to campaign for him within the bounds of the law of God and of men. I have no doubt he is going to be the kind of candidate we are hoping and looking for. Kapareho ko ng isip at damdamin ang magiting na sundalong ito. God bless him!
“Think Again” before voting for Trillanes. Iyan ang sabi ni Ebdane bago mag-eleksyon dahil sa ngatog sa takot na si Sonny ay manalong Senador!
Ngayon na medyo lumilinaw ay mukhang nagbabago ng estrategy ang mga gagong heneral na ito!
Kung manalo man si Trillanes,mapipigilan ba niya kung meron ibang sundalong mag-aaklas?!
Tama Ellen. Merong niluluto ang mga demonyo!
Golly, bakit ba kinukumpara si Trillanes kay Ninoy? Anong ibig sabihin ni Esperon? Itutuloy nila ang Oplan Allan nila? Baka siya ang matepok ‘pag nagkataon!
No comparison as far as I am concerned. Trillanes is Trillanes, nag-iisa iyan! Mas gusto ko si Trillanes because he did not resort to namecalling. He stuck on issues, and that was good. Eye-opener pa nga because we know for sure kung ano-ano ang mga kahayupang ginagawa ni Mr. & Mrs. Pidal and cohorts.
CONCEDE! CONCEDE! CONCEDE! Hoy Pandak talo na kayo!
BTW, we invite all Filipinos based in Japan to join the rally at the Philippine Embassy on May 22 from 7 pm to protest against the extrajudicial killings with the pollwatchers for Kabataan as the new victims plus iyong kay JayJay, etc. Isasama na rin namin ang pandaraya sa eleksyong ito as the sins of this bogus administration. The rally will have more Japanese protesters I believe.
I’m sure, EK’s war room discussions centers on their plans and strategy on what to do about Trillanes!
What you should do in EK is to translate this “unexplainable” happening as “this is what the high heavens and pinoys want, and nothing EK can do about it”
Ibabalik ko kay Blinky Tianak, Oinky Ipdye, Assperon, Ebdane, Gunggong G and Abalolos ito: “SHOULD TRILLANES WIN, THEY SHOULD ACCEPT HIS FATE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.”
Funny, Chi, but these guys have been quoting us in their speeches. Halatang nagbabasa ng Ellen’s blog! 😛
Siguradong pasok na ang 8 go,kinakabahan ako noon kay Alan Cayetano,Trillanes at Koko Pimentel.Mabuti na lang at nabantayan ng husto at di sila gaanong nakadaya,pag hindi mababago ang standing hanggang bukas Sabado sa linggo ay mag-golf muna ako.Puede ng icash sa bangko iyan at may pondo na.
Sa Congress naman ang labanan,sana makakuha ng 79 na talagang palaban,mas maigi kung mga 100 pa sila para siguradong pagdating ng July ay may panibagong impeachment na naman,bago mag 2008 ay may bago na ng presidente.Subukan natin si Noli De Castro hangang 2010.Kasi ayon kay Noli siya raw ang successor ayon sa Constituition.
praying hard really works,especially if your good intention is for the benefit of the majority,for many months after the derailed peoples power against this abusive people in the goverment last 17dec06 which was hijack by the blind and dumb cardinal rosales,i prayed hard to punish the evil mastermine of all this chaos we are experiencing now,and the real jose pidal(FG) was hospitalized and will be in that way for the rest of his life,i prayed that someday there will be one that will move us to where we stop when GMA and her evils stole the election and wish somebody would slap them not once or twice but many times so that they will know how evil they are!!now comes trillanes the hope of every filipinos that will remove as from all this madaness where we are now since the day they stole the real mandate of the filipino people!with this trillanes phenomenom,wish and pray that this will be the beggining to end all this madness and evils of GMA regimes and her cluster of evel people..they had killed a lot of innocent filipinos who have exposed all their wrongdoings!!this madness ot this evil GMA and her evil minions must be stopped!!let us all join in praying that GMA ends will come the earliest!! God bless the filipinos and God bless the Philippines.. you ellen and all bloggers here!!
The Malacanang robbers and thieves should realize by now that there is no stopping the victory of Sonny Trillanes. It is not just the will of the people we are talking about but the Will of God. They should stop now and do as God has willed it. Baka gabaan sila kapag nagmatigas pa sila!
QUOTE: “It is not just the will of the people we are talking about but the Will of God.”
Ystakei,
You got it right there. Voux populi, voux Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of GOD.
This election is turning out to be a ray of hope. Although there were a lot of untoward incidents before, during and after the elections, if the trend continues, we will have new faces in key positions of our government. Trillanes’ win will be a great addition to the senate. I do not care about what the tiyanak and the hemorrhoids are saying, I care about what the country says. The peoples’ mandate should be followed. This is democracy. Unfortunately for the past six years, we had tyrants running our country. These tyrants think that if they can decree and force people to follow what they want, they call this good governance. But if a government is lopsided and the people feel suppresed, oppressed and they do not see any wholehearted interest in their welfare by these so called leaders, they know. Now the people have spoken. Even if the oppressors operated with their arrogance and intimidation in making sure that their candidates won, the people made their point and loud! It was only in the areas where tiyanak’s money, military presence and where its people had sheer ignorance of the voting process( like in Maguindanao)that the tiyanak’s candidates won. The message is LOUD and CLEAR, WE DO WANT WANT THIS ADMINISTRATION ANYMORE! WE WANT LEADERS WHO DO NOT SERVE JUST A HANDFUL OF PRIVILEGED CITIZENS! WE WANT CHANGE. TIYANAK, DON’T YOU GET it ???????????
PSB:
Still LOUDER and CLEARER…
MAJORITY NEVER WANTED YOU TIANAK…FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!
and still UP TO HIGH HEAVENS….
ALIS NA D’YAN!!!!!!! TSUPI!!!
Wala, manhid talaga ang ungas! Noong bata pa nga iyan naglulupasay sa sahig kundi makuha ang gusto. Ngayon, grabe, pumapatay ng tao pag di siya sinunod!
Tignan lang natin ang siga niya sa Itaas! She cannot thwart an Act of God! Baka matuluyan siya—papuntang Mandaluyong, sa loob!
Sabi nga, “Whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes mad.”
“As far as Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon is concerned, a win by Genuine Opposition senatorial bet, ex-Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV, could at least minimize, if not eradicate, disgruntled soldiers from resorting to unconstitutional means in effecting changes in government.”
Ellen, balikan ko lang ito.
Naisip ko na ang “concern” na ito ni Assperon ay dala ng realization nila na hindi sumunod sa kanyang utos na 12-0 in favor of TUTA ang ilagay sa balota ng mga sundalo, at hindi sila natakot sa banta ni Ebdane na “think again”.
In short, sa eleskyon ito ay nakita niya, thru, the soldiers votes kung gaano siya at ang kanyang amo na Blinky and Oinky ay kinamumuhian ng sandatahan. Naging referendum din ito at isang malinaw na silent na pag-aalsa laban sa kanyang corrupt na pamunuan in particular, at sa pekeng gobyerno ni Gloria in general.
Sa yabang niyang magsalita ay biglang naging soft ang kanyang dila?! This is “unexplainable” except that nanginig sila ng kanilang makita ang resulta ng voting ng sundaluhan na kung hindi man block voting ay nakararami ng higit ang bumoto sa kanilang mistah.
Mag-asawa ang sagot nila ni Gloria. Ito rin ang sagot ng bruha ng tanungin ng Wall Street Journal tungkol kay Trillanes.
Baka gusto talaga ni Abaloslos na magrebolusyon kapag inalis nila si Trillanes sa Magic 12. Tahimik lang iyong mga sundalo but now that they know that the people can no longer tolerate the Malacanang cheat, e pihado kakampi na sila sa mga kababayan nilang galit na! Kaya walang tulugan hanggang hindi natapos ang bilangan.
Mabuhay si Sen. Trillanes!!! We feel good, right? yeheyyyy!
Sa suportang ibinigay ng bayan kay Trillanes dapat magisip-isip na ang kampon ng kademonyohan sa malakanyang sa pangunguna ng magasawang Pidals. Kakampi ng bayan si Trillanes at alam na ngayon ng mamamayang Pilipinas na hindi sila nagiisa kasama nila si Trillanes.
Isang Protesta ito sa pamunuan ng pekeng presidente(daw!)ng bayang Pilipinas na mandaraya, magnanakaw at sinungaling. Hindi katanggap-tanggap sa aming maliliit na mamamayan ang pamunuan ng pekeng pangulo ng Pilipinas at dapat mabulok sya sa bilangguan sa dami ng kanyang kasalanan sa tao at maging sa diyos. Matagal na nagtitiis ang mamamayan sa pamunuan ng pekeng presidente. Dapat patalsikin at i-impeach si gloria.
Mabuhay si Sen. Trillanes!
Hindi na kailangan ma-impeach ang isang pekeng pangulo. Wala siyang karapatan manatili sa kapangyarihan dahil ninakaw niya ang tunay mandatos ng taumbayan. Dapat kaladkarin at itapon sa ilog Pasig.
You bet, Diego, ang kailangan lang naman ay ipairal nila ang batas na nagsasabing ang mga nagnanakaw ng boto ay puedeng i-disqualify. Problema nga lang iyong mga agency para hulihin ang mga kriminal ay pinamumunuan ng mga appointee ng ungas. Pambihira din iyong mga nag-confirm sa mga appointees ng ungas sa totoo lang. No believe ako sa mga opisyal ng Pilipinas. Tingin ko puro mga mandurugas!
You bet. Hindi pa naman tapos ang bilangan. Nag-uumpisa pa lang. Pag nakalusot si Recto, alam na natin na nakabawas ng boto kay Trillanes, et al para sa kaniya. O ano? Papayagan ninyo ba ito? Majority ng mga boto 8-1-3 or 8-2-2 in favor of GO maski sa Visayas. Zamboanga is Erap country, kaya kapag nadaya ang GO doon, alam natin may daya. Cotabato and Bukidnon hindi din TUta country according to my friends there. Kaya kapag lumitaw na nanalo doon ang TUta you know for sure, daya.
Puede ba iyong mga sundalong pilipino, magkaroon na ng mga yagbols. Golly, hindi ba sila nahihiyang nagbubuhat ng mga balotang peke?! Naknamputsa naman. Ipinagmamalaki pa nilang PMA grads daw sila. Pwe! Nababoy na ang Alma Mater nila!
