ANC witnesses horror in Lanao Sur

ABS-CBN correspondents Ricky Carandang and Noel Alamar recorded on camera a deplorable act by a Comelec official: taking custody of blank election returns and bringing them to his hotel.

The Comelec official, identified on TV as Jubil Surmieda of the Comelec’s legal department and Reanult “Boy” Macarambon, who was mentioned in the Hello Garci tapes scandal in 2004.

Confronted with the evidence (a video-tape of the transport of the ERs to the hotel), Comelec Commissioner Rene Sarmiento can only say, “I stake my name on it.”

What’s the value of Sarmiento’s name now?

ABS-CBN story:

The Commission on Election took custody of blank election returns in the provincial capitol of Lanao del Sur and transported the documents to a hotel in Iligan City, ABS-CBN News Channel reported Monday.

ABS-CBN correspondents Ricky Carandang and Noel Alamar reported that a group of COMELEC officers, led by a poll official who was mentioned in the “Hello, Garci” recordings, took over custody of the blank ERs from the Lanao del Sur provincial treasurer’s office in Marawi City on Sunday.

Footage taken by ABS-CBN showed COMELEC officers hauling the ERs to Maria Cristina Hotel in Iligan City, which is an hour and a half drive away from the provincial capitol of Lanao del Sur.

The “Hello, Garci” recordings contained alleged wiretapped conversations of a COMELEC official several government officials discussing an alleged plot to rig the 2004 presidential election. Former poll commissioner Virgilio Garcillano later admitted that he was the one in the alleged wiretap recordings but denied rigging the election results in favor of President Arroyo.

COMELEC Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, commissioner-in-charge for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), said he ordered COMELEC officials to take custody of the ERs to make sure that the documents would not be used to rig the special elections in parts of the province.

Alamar reported that Sarmiento earlier denied ordering the transfer of the ERs but changed his story after seeing ABS-CBN’s footage. Officers of the provincial treasurer’s office said they were not informed about Sarmiento’s orders regarding the transfer.

Sarmiento said there was nothing unusual about the blank ERs being kept in a hotel for safekeeping. He said the ERs are now in the custody of a special elections officer who is staying at the hotel.

“These are blank ERs, which should not be left in Marawi City or anywhere else. These are his responsibility since these are accountable forms,” he told DZMM.

“I’m willing to resign if it is proven that it is irregular,” he added in an interview with Alamar.

He added that the ERs were transferred to the hotel after a brownout and heavy rains hit Marawi City after the special elections.

The blank ERs were initially distributed to provincial treasurers, who in turn would have to distribute the documents to municipal treasurers and then eventually distributed to BEIs.

ERs are where counted votes are tallied and the documents are used as basis for the certificates of canvass being brought to COMELEC’s head office for national canvassing.

PPCRV: Special polls not orderly, credible

The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting on Monday debunked claims made by Sarmiento and the military that the conduct of special elections in Lanao del Sur and other parts of ARMM was orderly and credible.

“I would say peaceful. Peaceful can be defined in many ways; no one getting killed. Injuries were not high, in terms of that, yes, I would agree with Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, but to say its orderly and credible, I wouldn’t say that,” PPCRV chairwoman Henrietta de Villa said.

De Villa said she personally witnessed election rules and regulations being violated during the special elections.

“People, supporters of candidates, going inside precincts and doing their thing right there before the voters and dictating to some of the voters…You couldn’t call it orderly and credible.”

She said vote buying was rampant and local elections were “heated, chaotic and rambunctious.”

In an earlier ANC interview, Sarmiento said the “peaceful” elections in Lanao del Sur could not have been achieved if not for the five battalions of military and police personnel.

“We owe the peaceful elections to four battalions of military and one from PNP (Philippine National Police). Their presence insured success of relatively peaceful elections,” he said.

Sarmiento also attributed the peaceful special elections to the presence of COMELEC officials from its national office and the volunteers of PPCRV and the National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections.

He said that with the smooth elections and canvassing in the province, COMELEC would be able to proclaim new senators within the week.

COMELEC cancelled its proclamation scheduled last Saturday after discovering that it has yet to receive certificates of canvass from several, which totalled at least one million votes.

There were speculations that the proclamation was cancelled to give way for alleged election cheating in favor of the administration backed candidates of Team Unity.

    Re: “People, supporters of candidates, going inside precincts and doing their thing right there before the voters and dictating to some of the voters…You couldn’t call it orderly and credible.”

    Hopeless, just hopeless! These people are NOT prepared for democracy.

    There is seriously a need to put that part of the country under some kind of dictatorship until they’ve learned to toe the line but DEFINITELY this cannot be done – NOT UNDER GLORIA; it is imperative to cleanse the Mindanao political arena of this warlord phenomenon, dismantle their private armies and whatever.

    Got to isolate those crooked politicians who are actually warlords – they are the ones that are making lives miserable for the ordinary Mindanaoans. But how can you do that when the biggest political warlords who are in Manila encouraging, nay, organizing such primitive, barbaric exercises?

    There comes a time that for the good of the majority, something drastic must be done. The chaos and the wreckage of democratic institutions The most odious political warlords – Malacanang – are wreaking havoc in the last remaining fibers of democracy and so the endless cycle of chaos for the ordinary Filipinos.

    This can’t last forever, something’s got to give!

  2. Ellen,

    These Comelec officials should be sacked and prosecuted for crimes committed against the Filipino people, not just the electorates. They should not be allowed to go on perpetrating this kind of gruesome and serious crime. Dapat hulihin ang mastermind who can lie through her bucked teeth as she does now overseas telling foreign ministers that she is doing something about the killings done for, on her behalf and on her command.

    I find it amazing how this criminal is allowed to go scotfree, and even have a free hand in running institutions responsible for putting criminals like her to prison with her appointees occupying top positions in the SC, Department of Justice, police, military, etc. It is simply unbelievable!

    Over where I am based, this kind of scandal calls for a mass suicide either by hanging oneself in a hotel bathroom or jumping from a tall building, the latter oftentimes prove messy with brain tissues spurting out from broken skull

    Just today, a member of PM Abe’s cabinet committed suicide. Some people suspect there is foul play in this to protect a lot many people from being sacked and embarrassed. One down. The Minister of Education is next according to some source. Abe is in deep shit right now.

    May balat siguro si Pandak. Any leader she pretends to patronize just gets into this kind of trouble. Why? I wonder!

  3. Hahahahah “Any leader she pretends to patronize just gets into this kind of trouble. Why? I wonder!”

    Right Yuko! I hope she never gets to meet President Sarkozy… Must tell my friends at UMP Party that this woman is cursed and to alert French president! Hahahahahah!

  4. Kudos to the two ABS-CBN reporters! Ingat sila kasi baka sila balikan ni Ermita, Esperon, Palparan, et al. Naka-motorbike ang mga paid killers ng mga iyan! God protect and help them! Time to get rid of these crooks calling themselves officials of the Philippine government. Kakahiya! Pwe!

    Even with cheatings and election fraud unheard of, the Election Returning Officer in charge of a district here, would require that each ballot is accounted for. Every time a ballot is handed to a voter, it has a serial no. which the voter sign, the stub stays with the clerk and return after voting to compare the numbers on the ballot and both numbers are verified for correctness and destroyed. And only one person responsible and one other witness should know where the ballots are kept for later recounts in cases where required, until all is cleared. That way we know who to blame for any irregularities and no lying please, the Judges have no Mercy on Liars..

    So, what’s happening in the South or any place, once caught, Lie, and Lies…

  6. Is she planning to meet with Sarkozy? Ang kapal din ng mukha ano? Wasn’t she snubbed over there in France when she visited last year? Sa Italy nga pinaghintay noong Italian President who was busy watchig the Football Championship.

    Ricky : How do you react to reports that ER’s have been brought inside a hotel room?

    Sarmiento/Macarambon: (Indignant) That’s a lie! Why would be bring ER’s into a hotel?

    Ricky : So you’re saying that there are no ER’s hotel rooms?

    Sarmiento/Macarambon: Absolutely!

    Ricky : (Whips out camera and plays back clip showing Comelec officials bringing ER’s into a hotel room)

    Sarmiento/Macarambom: (Break into shepish smiles) Aaaaaaaah, yun ba??? Wala yun. We were just doing that to safeguard the ER’s.

    Hehehehehehe. How does it feel to look like complete asses on national TV?

    Hayup ka Sarmiento, ang kapal ng mukha mong hayup ka.

    Mabuhay ka Ricky Carandang!!!!

  8. Hah!

    “Wasn’t she snubbed over there in France when she visited last year?”

    No she wasn’t invited to Paris last year, heheheh! They tried so hard but nothing doing. She ain’t in the radar of Western leaders here. Gosh, not even when she went to London – don’t believe she got to meet with Tony Blair either.

    Oh yeah, she met the Belgian PM when she visited the EU but heheheh – don’t even know the name of the Belgian PM, not a big deal. Matter of fact, she was lucky that Baroso is a kind man who decided to meet with her (not until after nagmakaawa daw si Cristy Ortega, Ambassador here – si Ortega mismo sinabi sa akin, nakiusap daw sila…. para tangapin itong si pendeja.)

  9. re: “Aaaaaaaah, yun ba??? Wala yun. We were just doing that to safeguard the ER’s.”

    Anong “Wala yun.”? Gago talaga ang buwayang iyan!

  10. “Wala yun” “Safeguard the ERs”

    He must be barking mad? Trust the COMELEC to safeguard ERs?

    I wouldn’t even trust them with my metro ticket, let alone ERs? Tangna nya!

  11. (Metro ticket is subway ticket)

    According to Sarmiento- the election in Lanao is “relatively peaceful”. Just a while ago I read in ABS AND GMA news that for health reason he is resigning something a COMELEC official denied and in a radio interview ABALOS confirmed. Sarmiento indeed should resign and if indeed it is for health reason- baka siya ma REST IN
    PEACE. At kung hindi at ipagtuloy niya ang kanilang kaluhohan- at pagkatapos pag na sampahan siya ng mga evidences of fraud, etc. sa lugar in which he was responsible to protect baka siya ma REST IN PIECES. Mr. Sarmiento- the CHOICE AND DECISION IS YOURS TO MAKE. Pampanga’s Best? ( ang bulok at mapahong producto ni Gloria) or the People’s Choice.? GO Mr. Sarmiento GO! GO! GO! Kaya lang Kung mag state witness ka for the truth- either you Rest in Peace for health reason – or mag Rest in Pieces ka dahil baka ka mabaril…Either way Mr. Sarmiento that is the PRICE (PRIZE?) for you. Poor Soul! Pili ka PRICE? or PRIZE.

  13. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    O, di nalintian gid si Sarmiento. Huli sa akto ang mga sakop niya, pretending pa siya ! Thanks to Rricky Carandang! Ganyan ang dapat gawin sa kanila. Pag nag-denay, isampal sa mukha ang ebidensiya! Nakita naman natin na for every CHEAT they’ve done and got caught, iwas -pusoy sila o may nakahandang justification kaagad! Nag-master na kasi from their Amo!
    Kawawa…kawawa …ang mga tao sa mga ginagawang ito ng mis-administration!
    To pacify my anger, I just count down o, 1 ,2, 3, 4, 5,…..

    These Comelec officials are really asses. Having said that, i’ve read that our friend Atty. Bedol is at it again, trying to justify the menor d edad vote from Lanao. He said that it is allowed under shariah law to allow minors to vote. Bakit hindi muna i-ammend yung batas bago pabotohin ang minors, he should be disbarred for being stupid.

  15. Anna:

    That was what the embassy people here tried to do, I am told, make appointments for her with Japanese officials who reluctantly obliged to meet with her. It was not an official visit that was why she was not provided with special police escorts, and the embassy has to provide for her security that was not in fact necessary because there is nobody here who would want to assassinate her. Baka sa Netherlands pa.

    I was told that she also wanted to meet with their Imperial Highnesses, but her request was declined because the Emperor and Empress had other more important activities to do. Kaya galit na galit daw, and was not happy with the ambassador especially after the news on the protests came out in the Japanese and English newspapers. Pero kapal pa rin ng mukha lalo na iyong Bunyeta na puro kasinungalingan ang pinagsasabi.

    Si Santiago nga linangaw dito!!!

  16. Kasama na naman si Tulala? Hahaha! Kambal na brenda talaga… Siguro hostage nya si Brenda Sr para iyong kapatid huwag gumawa ng “kalokohan” sa Manila habang wala siya.

    heheheh!

  17. One thing wrong with a lot of the abogago de kampanilya in the Philippines is that they have the tendency to interpret or misinterpret Philippine laws according to how they want the laws to fit their likes and dislikes, not how they should be interpreted as they have been written and inspired to be implmented. In short, garbled ang mga utak!

    Sige, Skip, murahin mo pa ang mga walanghiyang bobo! Manang-mana doon sa bugaw na amo nila magnanakaw na sinungaling pa!

  18. Kaya nga siguro ayaw nilang payagang magdala ng camera ang mga pollwatchers kasi bistado ang kawalanghiyaan nila. Gosh, puede ba, tigilan na. Stop the election in Mindanao! Kung ayaw ng mga tao doon na ipagtanggol at bantayan ang mga boto nila, they do not deserve to have a vote. Those CoCs, etc. should be considered null and void!!! TT, Magno, et al pakimura na nga.

    Can’t say bad words kasi I’m still praying for Trillanes, Cayetano ang Koko. Delikado ang tatlong ito kasi matitinik!!!

    RE: Sarmiento/Macarambom: (Break into sheepish smiles) Aaaaaaaah, yun ba??? Wala yun. We were just doing that to safeguard the ER’s.

    Buking na! Bantay Salakay! These Comelec officials were caught with their pants down and could be charged with electoral sabotage. ANC’s video evidence speaks a thousand words. Cheating is a way of life in Gloria Arroyo’s Enchanted Kingdom. Elections chief Benjamin Abalos has the guts to tell the whole world that the May 14, 2007 polls are generally peaceful and credible contrary to 130+ killed, hundreds wounded, systematic cheating, vote-buying, ballots snatching, terrorism and ER’s tampering. Tell that to the Marines!

  20. Anong peaceful and credible? Ang daming mga foreign correspondents at foreign observers sa Pilipinas. Hindi naman sila tanga para bobohin ng mga kumag na mga Malacanang robbers and thieves. Ang sabihin ninyo, talaga lang matapang ang apog ng mga ungas. Ang kakapal ng mukha. Dapat diyan, pinaghuhuhuli na ang mga iyan. Sobra na, tama na. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  21. I hope hindi na hihintayin ng mga pilipino ang 2010 para paalisin at ikulong iyong Pandak. Sobra na ang kakapalan ng taon iyan. Problema lang nga kailangang mabawi ang mga ninakaw na pera na galing ang karamihan sa mga inutang sa ibang bansa, pati na iyong mga ipinapadala ng mga OFWs. Kaya mahalaga ang mga prueba ni Cayetano laban sa kanila.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! SOBRA NA, TAMA NA!

    I hope someone has made vidcaps of that classic sequence.
    Then it can be uploaded to YouTube and embedded in blogs.
    We can send also send emails to all our friends with the Title “FOOT IN MOUTH’ and with a link to the video.

    Then a lot more people would see just how utterly wicked this administration has become.

    Talagang sobra na. Does anybodoy know how imprecatory prayers work?

  23. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Election fraud has been committed without doubt in their hotel rooms. Hindi ba puede ang citizen’s arrest?

  24. Cursing is bad, Skip. Makakarma din ang mga iyan. In fact, it takes only a matter of faith in God for the possibility of these creeps experiencing doomsday faster than we can pray and expect to befall upon them.

    I fast and pray, and lo and behold, hindi nila matanggal si Trillanes. Gotta include Koko Pimentel in my prayers. Akala ko kasi kaya niya especially in Mindanao especially with some groups of Moslems supporting Senator Pimentel and his son. Baka gabaan sila kapag niloko nila ang boto ni Sonny Trillanes.

    Tanong nga ng isang taga-Philipine Embassy dito kung marunong daw akong magkulam. Sagot, “Hindi, at saka bawal sa simbahan namin ang witchcraft and sorcery.” I don’t actually have to resort to such things. Fasting (no food and water for 24 hours) and prayer lang, and lots of faith in God!

    Magdasal na lang tayo na mataimtim. Hindi pa tayo magkakasala!

    Ellen
    sorry, just log in now without reading recent postings, piece below can be out of turn, etc. Will read all the posting later and answer any issues levelled in my direction later, if any.

    In the last tally (May 28/12:30pm) the percent increases in their votes from the previous tally (May 26/7:30pm) CLEARLY SHOW NO WAY can CAYETANO, TRILLANES, and PIMENTEL (CAYTRILPIM) be honestly DISLODGED from the winning twelve senatorial candidates.

    TRILLANES– 4.14% increase -10,189,015 votes in the last tally
    CAYETANO- 4.27% increase – 9,552,594 votes in the last tally
    PIMENTEL- 3.96% increase – 9,326,092 votes in the last tally
    Total combined votes – 29,067,701

    Hey dude, an increase of 4% in the millions is big, REAL BIG

    While the sannamagans ( sori and R.I.P. max soliven):

    Zubiri – 2.95% increase – 9,311,641 votes in the last tally
    Defensor – 2.61% increase – 8,628,084 votes in the last tally
    Pichay – 3.21 % increase – 8,386,570 votes in the last tally
    TOTAL COMBINED VOTES- 26,326,295

    VOTES DISTANCE: 2,741,406

    The sannamagans will first need –2.7 million votes to equal votes of CAYTRILPIM. At P500 per dagdag-bawas vote, the sannamagans will have had to steal from the people’s money a murderous 1,350 million pesos. TALAGANG NAKAKAMATAY.

    Inferences
    1- CAYTRILPIM % increases in their votes are absolutely higher than those of ZUBDEFPIC.
    2 – IF the above increases are applied normally with out DISHONES T AND CRIMINAL DAGDAG-bawas votes by ZUBDEFPIC, NO WAY CAN THEY BE PART OF THE MAGIC 12.
    3. The combined 2.7 million votes lead of CAYTRILPIM over ZUBDEFPIC is SO BIG, that means to lie using statistics without being a callous criminal will need more than 10 million additional votes distributed proportionately percentage-wise to the 37 candidates.

  26. jay cynikho jay cynikho

    Continuation . . .
    If you project those trends 5 more tallies the final number of votes
    Will be

    Cayetano AP (GO) 12,558,248
    Trillanes (GO) 11,700,628
    Pimentel (GO) 11,324,813

    Zubiri (TU) 10,768,569
    Defensor (TU) 10,104,696
    Pichay (TU) 9,539,658

    IT SO CLEAR THAT SUBDEFPIC CAN ONLY WIN
    IF THEY CHEAT, WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE’S MONEY
    WASTED IN THE PROCESS.

    I guess as I am trying todo now, we need more time and thinking to go beyond Name calling, spewing insults, concocting jokes, and scratching each other’s back.

    If and when Gloria succeeds in cheating into the senate
    Zubiri, defensor and pichay, Commodore Aparri and his
    Tribe of patriots, MUST draw blood and spill brains of Gloria’s Dogs, and Abalos’ cockroaches in the COMELEC. The
    Filipino People expect no less. Anything less means
    means helpless wallowing in our shit and urine. It could mean we have totally lost our pride, dignity, self-respect and sick soul as a people.

    Ystakei,

    “Cursing is bad.” – In general, yes. But not when a helpless people is faced with a government that is patently wicked.

    In fact, the Bible is replete with examples of imprecations:

    Psalm 35:5 – May they be like chaff before the wind.

    Psalm 55:15 – Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave.

    Psalm 58:6 – O God, break the teeth in their mouths.

    Psalm 69:28 – May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.

    Psalm 109:9 – May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

    Psalm 137:9 – How blessed will be the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks

    Of course, praying against someone for PERSONAL gains is never right. But when you look around and see young men being snatched in crowded places, journalists being murdered in broad daylight, public funds being funneled into personal pockets by the billions, and the sacred right to choose one’s leaders is being bastardized with impunity — charity will be the farthest from one’s mind.

    Iyong Psalms ay dasal ni David. Pero ang turo ni Jesus Christ ay iba. “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” (Matt. 5: 39) or “And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.” (Luke 6: 29)

    Just think. Bakit sa Manila, hindi masyadong makadaya ang mga ungas kahit na anong lagay ang gawin nila? Kasi, matatapang ang mga tao doon. And they definitely deserve something better. Pero tignan mo ang mga nasa Mindanao, madaling mauto ang karamihan kaya iyong mga ungas nakakalusot doon, pero tignan mo naman kung anong klaseng kahirapan ang dinaranas ng mga tao doon kahit na malaki ang potential ng mga lupain doon. Kung maghirap sila kasalanan nila.

    Ito namang mga walanghiya na makakapal ang mga mukha, bakit sa palagay mo ba kompleto ang kaligayahan ng mga walanghiyang iyan? Kaya nga hindi makotento ang mga ungas dahil walang contentment ang ungas! Problema lang nga hindi tinatalaban ng hiya!

    Sirang-sira si Sarmiento. Sarmiento says (in a letter to the COMELEC) that he be allowed to resign as head of TF Maguindanao because of health reasons. It seems that there is more to that. Sarmiento looked healthy on national TV when Ricky was speaking to him – confidently saying that he will stake his name, reputation, blah blah blah. Sarmiento made a complete jerk of himself ! The truth, indeed, does prevail. No matter how one tries to hide it, it will manage to come out.

    After watching Ricky Carandang’s report, I am more convinced than ever that GLORIA MACAPAgaL ARROYO CHEATED IN 2004 ! That report, to me, is enough proof, that she is an ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT OF THE REPULIC. She should be lynched !

    Ellen, si Noel Alamar pala personally ang kumuha ng video? Walanghiya talaga itong si Renault Macarambon, mukha na sanang maayos si Sarmiento, mukhang nadoktrinahan na rin sa pandaraya nitong mga bata ni Garci. Ang alam ko ang orders niyan ni Renault dito nanggagaling sa Makati, kundi sa Forbes, sa Dasma, nakalimutan ko yung pangalan, pero silent operator ng Lakas yun parang si Joey Rufino noon.

    Pareho tayong wala nang tiwala sa kahit kanino sa Comelec. Dati si Borra, tapos si Brawner, ngayon naman si Sarmiento. Wala na talagang pag-asa ang Comelec hanggang nandiyan si Abalos. Nagsisimula ng maayos ang isang Commissioner, pagkatapos, nahahawa sa sistema.

    Di ba Congressman iyan si Renault na kapatid o anak ng isa pang Congressman na si (ex-MNLF Commander)Benasing Macarambon? Lagi ko kasing nakikita yan sa Batasan last year at hindi sa gallery kundi sa baba kung saan nakaupo ang mga Congressmen. Itinuro sa akin ng staff ni Golez na sinabing, “Yun si Renault Macarambon, yung “Boy” sa Hello Garci”. Di ko makakalimutan iyon.

    If you have contact with re-elected Gov. Daisy Fuentes of South Cotabato (which includes Darlene’s Gensan City where GO massacred TUTA 11-0-1), they have submitted SOVs/COCs to GO’s Atty. Sixto Brillantes wherein TUTA votes in some towns were increased from 50,000 to 150,000. Even Legarda, and Pangilinan got additional votes but it was Pichay who got 150,000 dagdag when the ERs were summed up in the COCs. Taranta na siguro si Brillantes sa dami ng natatanggap na mga documented reports ng dagdag-bawas! I haven’t heard any news report on this yet. It might be worth looking into.

    …& where is Gloria in all this ? “Hiding off” in New Zealand. She is only on a working visit & not a state visit. Apparently the wimp can’t face the music, much less take the heat in the kitchen !

    Next to “Hello Garci”, the Ricky Carandang report cuts the cake. It only affirms that “Hello Garci” was true.

    We heard the tapes (“Hello Garci”). We saw the video (Ricky Carandang’s report). In other countries, Gloria & the COMELEC would be known criminals.

    Dapat dito kay “KUTO” (Glorya) ay mag-suicide na din di ba Ms. Yuko? Gaya nong isang Minister diyan sa Bansa niyo. Marami na siyang sinira, hindi lang mga Sanga ng Gobyerno pati na rin mga tao. Sabihin nating si Pakyaw na lang kung talaga namang matino ang pagiisip ng tinalupang hayop na yan, magpapaluko ba naman? Eto namang si Lapid ang sarap na nga ang upo niya sa Senado, nagpagamit pa kay “KUTO”. Yan ang gusto ni KUTO na mga tao niya …… walang “BREYN”.

  47. Sus, quit na raw iyong Sarmiento kasi nagkasakit daw. Don’t tell me magpapa-confine din doon sa St. Luke’s Hospital. Gosh, baka doon na ngayon ginagawa ang mga pekeng canvasses! Nandoon iyong No. 1 manipulator at Mafioso. Magko-conference siguro sila doon kasama na iyong mga gustong sumingit sa Magic 12 na hindi naman ibinoto ng majority pero gustong umupo tapos ipapa-abolish daw ang Senate. Kundi ba namang tarantado, bakit ganoon ang sinasabi.

    I told my NZ-der friend about this kind of thinking of Pichay, et al. , napanganga! Hindi makapaniwalang may mga ganoong ulol na tao! Eeeeeeeek! Honto? “Unbelievable!,” sabi niya.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

    Nope, nasa NZ si Pandak para hindi halatang siya ang may pakana ng lahat ng dayaang ito. Hindi siya nagtatago. Nagpapalusot lang. At saka umuutang ng perang ibabayad niya sa mga laos niyang mga TUta. Ang dami daw na naghihintay ng pasalubong daw niya.

    Kaso, puro promissory note ang nakuha sa Japan. Hindi niya alam maingat din si Abe na makompromiso lalo na ngayong may scandal ang mga ministers niya na nasasangkutan ng partido niya. Sira ang plano ni Pandak at Fatso! Bwahahahahaha! Buti nga, belat! 😛

  49. Skip,

    While I believe in “Bahala na si Lord sa kanila”, I think it is in man’s place to fight injustices, corruption, cheating, thieving… and not allow evil to propagate. In other words, we cannot just leave everything to the Lord.

    We owe it the the young generation of Pinoys, to the future citizens of the country to make sure that Gloria and her cabal of evil do not have the easy task of mocking the Lord. We must fight them all the way.

    David was small but he faced the giant odd in front of him… It can be done because it is the right thing to do.

    Anna,

    I couldn’t agree with you more! My faith in the Lord does not in any way diminish my rage against these cheats and liars. I will fight Gloria and her ilk to the last ounce of my strength as I trust all of us in this blog will.

    I’d sooner french kiss a cobra than let my kids’ future be stolen by Gloria without me lifting a finger.

  51. Skip, So glad to read your kind of vow. Wish we could multiply that vow and that every man and woman in Pinas could say it…

    Yuko,

    I read that Sarmiento resigns as “commission”-in-charge of ARMM! Bakit, nabasa ba niya ang pagmumura natin sa kanya dito sa Ellenville? Baka tinamaan! Sige layas at bistado ka na, sunduin mo si Blinky Glue na nagtatago sa NZ at huwag na kayong babalik sa aming bansa! Mga bwisit!

    Skip. ok ang ads mo ah!

    I was wondering why the tiyanak scheduled her trip to Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Now, I know why. Nagtatago siya from Zuviri,Recto,Defensor and Pichay. No matter how strong her cheating machineries are, the watchful eyes of the people deter a lot of her modus operandi. Even the deployed soldiers are probably all for Trillanes and not for the tiyanak and Esperon. They are most likely to guard the votes of the GO instead of the TU(tas).

    Sayang si Zubiri nguinit sa totoo lang ayaw talagang maniwala ang taong bayan na papasok siya kasi sumama sa team na magaling mandaya. pag iniloklok yan sa magic 12 lalong gugulo ang bansa kasi di naman siya talaga ibinoto. eh gusto ko noon si tito sotto kaso naging mabaho na siya nong sumama sa tu. malaking pagkakamali niya yon sayang siya talaga kung hindi siya bumaliktad sigurado nasa pangatlo siya

  61. Grabe! Bakit hindi hinuhuli ng mga pulis ang mga ungas na iyan? Sa Japan iyan, ang dami nang nahuli, nakulong, at nag-suicide. Ang kapal din ano.

    Kailangan magdemand ang mga pilipino na mag-resign enmasse ang mga commissioners ng Comolec sa kawalanghiyaang ito. Tangi na, ano ang ginagawa ng mga pulis diyan? Naghihintay din ba ng bayad ang mga pulis diyan bago manghuli? O mga hoodlums na lang ang mga nagpapalakad ng bansa at wala nang mga pulis?

    iyan ang problemang sa iba natin mga kababayan, puro iwas pusoy , dinadaan lagi sa kung anong dahilan, halimbawa na lang kay joker arroyo kasulukuyan ng impeachment nag walk out sinong talo, eh sino pa kundi di ang sambayanang Pilipino laging pinagkakaitan ng katotohanan kaya masisi mo ba mga taong patuloy na sumusuporta sa dating Pangulo sabagay tayong mga Pilipino mahilig sa drama kaya nga nakatuntong ng malakanyang si mari mar, sumunod si esmeralda dapat susunod na magdrama si abalos at sarmiento ang pamagat – itago mo ang katotohan at si kumander ang bahala sa atin.

    Re: What’s the value of Sarmiento’s name now?
    A roll of toilet paper cost about 50 cents. Sarmiento’s name doesn’t worth mampunas puwet-anal cleansing paper anymore. He sided with the evil from stinky palace on Pasig river.

  65. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    Hat’s off to the ABS-CBN duo Ricky Carandang and Noel Alamar in documenting the “known cheating mechanism of COMELEC operators in Lanao del Sur”. Yet Commissioner Rene Sarmiento denied to his teeth that no election returns were sent to the hotel but when shown him the footages – he stammers and swear that he will resign his post once allegation of cheating will be proven.

    Now he can rest peacefully in his abode and be true to his promise (for he swear) that he will resign his post.

    Tingnan natin kung talagang mayroon siyang isang salita at kung mayroon nga siyang bayag.

    Many thanks to the vigilant election watchdogs – we are with you in this time of vigilance – tandaan ang mga MAGNANAKAW ay umaatake sa gabi at madaling-araw (baka mag-proclaim si COMELEC Cheat Benjamin Abalos ng mga senador na hindi naman talaga ibinoto ng mga tao nitong madaling-araw ng Sabado).

    Sarmiento is but another gloria apostle. Caught lying, stealing and cheating on elections, he stood his ground and claimed he did the right thing. Even if we bring that case to the court, nothing will happen under gloria.

    What are we waiting for?

    Let us close our hearts to pity. They are killing our souls already.

    ”NESEM TIRANAM SMERT”

  67. Spy,

    “Let us close our hearts to pity. They are killing our souls already.”

    The Filipino sense of “pity” is misplaced; it is the Filipino’s own worst enemy. Just like what you said, “They are killing our souls already.” Time to fight back!

  68. Mlm, please do not use all capitals in your comments. Sentence case lang please.
