The proclamation will be held at the Comelec session hall, 8th floor of the Palacio del Gubernador in Intramuros, Manila.
Please take note of the new time, 10:30 a.m.
Let’s thank the Lord for this victory.
Friday, June 15, 2007, 9.30 am — one shining moment for all freedom-loving Filipinos!

HEP…HOORAY!!!
Tomorrow, is the 11 million plus Trillanes voters red letter day!
PROST! PROST! MABUHAY! MABUHAY! TO ALL OF YOU!
LONG LIVE OUR SENATOR! HE IS THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE!!!
pagsilay ng banaag ng pag-asa.
SENADOR SONNY TRILLANES, MABUHAY KA!!!!!
aling ellen,
nakikiramay ako sa iyong pagdadalamhati bunga ng pagpanaw ng isa sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay.
mapayapang pagbabalik.
At last, the tiyanak gave up on trying to cheat Trillianes out of the magic 12! His proclamation is tantamount to our victory in guarding our votes! Even if the elections were not 100% clean, it is a sigh of relief to hear that finally, the tiyanak conceded that they can not take for granted the voice of over 11 million voters who want Trillianes to serve them in the senate! Congratulations Senator Trillianes! We are confident that you will put into heart our aspirations to be FREE, PROSPEROUS and PROUD AGAIN one day!

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — A bomb threat on the campaign headquarters of Fr. Eddie Panlilio, the newly elected governor of Pampanga, prompted police to reinforce security protection measures for the priest as he presented the members of his transition team on Wednesday.
Two bomb experts and two bomb-sniffing dogs combed the headquarters for explosives on Tuesday but found none.
At least 50 policemen secured the headquarters and a nearby restaurant where Panlilio held a press conference, according to Senior Supt. Audie Atienza, city police chief.

tsk. tsk. tsk.
kapag ang ganid ay hindi makapamayagpag, sari saring pananakot sa marangal at tuwid ang inaatupag.
sino pa ba ang magkakalakas ng loob gawin ang ganito kundi ang mga kabig ni makagarapal arroyo at mag-asawang huweteng king and queen of mekeni province?
Let us pray that Koko will be proclaimed as a winner too, soon! Koko would be a brilliant lawmaker and if he has the blood of his dad, he will also fight for what is right!
my warm felicitations to all freedom loving Filipinos who supported Sonny Trillanes’ platform of relevant and responsive governance. mabuhay !
To Senator Elect Trillanes, Congratulations Sir. You’re A Fine example of Bravery and Determination. I salute you Sir.
sa wakas wala ng magagawa ang mga hudas,barabas,hestas ng EK ni tyanak…MABUHAY KA SENATOR SONNY TRILLANES..
huwag nating lubusin ang katuwaan upang meron pang gugulin sa mga darating pang mga tagumpay!
ipagdasal natin na sana’y manatiling buo ang hanay ng oposisyon upang huwang nang muli pang mamayani ang mga sukab sa kanilang mapangwasak na ambisyon!
Ellen,
My heartfelt congratulations to you first and foremost for your unflinching courage, your public support for Trillanes.
He deserves his seat in the Senate – the people have spoken, honestly and courageously. The Senate is perhaps his rightful place to do battle with this bogus government.
My heartfelt congratulations to him and my best wishes for his upcoming war.
I read that he likes to read biographies – I will be more than happy to send him the biography of one of the best Prime Ministers that Britain ever had, soldier-general-turned politician and Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
Ooops, I will be more than happy to send him the biography of one of the best Prime Ministers that Britain ever had, a soldier-general-turned politician: Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
teka muna. meong nawawala, ilang araw na.
pareng cocoy, what is happening to you, ga? ay, where are now, na?
hale na’t ikaw ay nami-miss na, ey!
kongresman joeseg, balita naman diyan.
from anna’s piece on tribune:
“………There are an estimated 20,000 illegal Filipinos in France (perhaps more), who are availing of the social services of the French state, of French taxpayers’ money for the education, the well-being of their families there, all for free, and who are absolutely treated with great tolerance in spite of their having no legal papers to speak of; that in spite of the crackdown on overstaying or illegal aliens on French soil, the Filipinos have been spared, all undoubtedly because the French government realizes that if these people are sent back home, they stand no chance of upliftment in their own country…….”

skinned and shameless illegal occupant of malakanyang will not and will never feel and show remorse on this state of the our kababayans in any part of the world.
this is enough. this is too much. everything must come to its end and gloria makagarapal arroyo’s insensitiveness should be buried along with her in a shallow grave where dogs shall feast over her dead body. or much better after her much awaited death, leave her corpse in the garbage where she really fits and belongs.

As reported Inquirer.net, below are cuts of Esperon’s reaction to Senator Trillanes victory:
“It’s not really the most welcome thing for me,” Esperon told reporters in a chance interview in Malacañang. “But to be frank about it, I have nothing to do with this (his?) election.”
He said he deliberately kept from discussing Trillanes before his victory was announced to avoid being accused of trying to block the former officer from winning a Senate seat.
Esperon made light of the possibility Trillanes might use his position to make life hard for the military brass, liked blocking their budget, saying, “That’s the job of a senator. That’s perfectly alright with us,” he said.
“But why should we look at him as a problem? He is the one with the problem because he has a case,” Eserpon said.
He added that Trillanes’ victory actually reinforced the government argument that the constitutional, not the extra-constitutional, route to change is always better.
Hwag nating bigyan pagkakataon na sumakay si germ-o-gene sa anumang isyu na may patungkol kay Trillanes.
Nagkakaroon lamang ito ng publicity.
Para nating sinabi na isang pelikula ni FPJ na parating nandun si Paquito Diaz o Eddie Garcia.Eh lumalabas kahit saan o anumang pelikula ang nabanggit na dalawang kontrabida at kumikita pa.
Balikan natin ang TUNAY NA ISYU!
ANG BOGUS NA PAMAMAHALA NI GMA!
Just came back from a translation job for the court and the bar association here. I interpreted for some 15 Filipinos brought her 4 months ago to work in bars and clubs in Japan despite the ban on these pseudo-entertainers. I was so upset about the blatant disregard for the law by Filipino recruiters with Japanese yakuza connections. The bars the girls worked in actually have mama-sans who are Filipino women married to Japanese.
It was a good thing I took in my medicine for my HBP before going to that job that lasted 6 to 7 hours.
This news about Senator Trillanes’ proclamation is sure a respite. Thank God! And thank you, Ellen, for keeping us posted on developments back home. Yup, it’s still home after all even when the present government of lawbreakers has been unkind to people like me. I thank God, too, in fact that I am safe here, unlike the more than 800 now lying 6 feet underground asking for justice for their deaths.
Mabuhay Senator Trillanes! Will send a note directly to the beautiful people who worked for his victory!!! Believe ako sa discipline, competence, ability, efficiency, and most of all honesty coupled with dedication to the cause. Love you guys!
Si Koko na lang, but I have no doubt he will pass the test. Sayang na lang ang talino niya para matalo sa isang naghahangad pang manalo sa dayang boto! Pwe! Hoy, Su-Viri-Me-Gal, CONCEDE!!! Nakakahiya ka!
…”for some 15 Filipinos brought HERE 4 months ago to work in bars and clubs in Japan despite the ban on these pseudo-entertainers…” Ang kulit talaga ng mga bugaw especially that Egcel guy who is always here begging the Japanese government to grant the Philippines another special quota for these women they want to traffic to Japan. Pwe!
RETORTs to Esperon’s comments on Trillanes victory
“It’s not really the most welcome thing for me,” Esperon told reporters in a chance interview in Malacañang. “But to be frank about it, I have nothing to do with this (his?) election.”
Retort: Comment seemed personal, unofficial. Can be misunderstood as from a bad sport, as almost anti-people, so Unlike Defensor’s. Doesn’t LOUDLY welcome the decision or Verdict of the people on an imprisoned public officer. Haters of Esperon will say, that’s conduct unbecoming of a Chief of Staff.
He said he deliberately kept from discussing Trillanes before his victory was announced to avoid being accused of trying to block the former officer from winning a Senate seat.
RETORT: Empty, nothing in that statement. Trillanes and the people owe him nothing for not speaking out. PNP and AFP personnel are prohibited from engaging in politics except to vote during elections. Esperon doesn’t seemed to know that, truly unbecoming of an AFP officer.
RETORTs to Esperon’s comments on Trillanes victory
But Esperon said the results of the local absentee vote, which had Trillanes at 10th spot, disproved accusations they manipulated the vote.
RETORT: Wait, wait a minute! It’s the opposite, it’s the reverse of what bloggers think. Trillanes was No. 10 because Esperon failed miserably to manipulate the local absentee vote (absentees despite threats warned they will vote for GOs,) The truth perhaps: Trillanes won despite (or inspite of) Esperon.
“the military has admitted conducting a survey among soldiers to gauge their sentiments on a Trillanes victory and whether they would consider it a protest vote against the civil and military leadership.
RETORT: There you go! It’s not propaganda, but a real survey with a likely sinister objective, more potent than propaganda.
RETORTs to Esperon’s comments on Trillanes victory
Esperon made light of the possibility Trillanes might use his position to make life hard for the military brass, liked blocking their budget, saying, “That’s the job of a senator. That’s perfectly alright with us,” he said.
RETORT: That’s what Esperon said. Let us see what he will do. Are you all right, sir?
“But why should we look at him as a problem? He is the one with the problem because he has a case,” Eserpon (sic) said.
RETORT: Let’s put the horse where it can pull the Kalesa. Pray tell us why Trillanes has a case. If he is (was) not a problem then he can be like Palparan who the AFP doesn’t look at as a problem.
He added that Trillanes’ victory actually reinforced the government argument that the constitutional, not the extra-constitutional, route to change is always better.
RETORT: Amen to that Mr. Chief of Staff. Hope you do that too.
Even in faraway norway, the victory of trillanes was news whereas no mention was made of the topnotchers. http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=140967.
I hope he will act on the built-up expectations from him.
A new hope is in on the horizon for the future of the Fatherland when Sonny Trillanes will be declared as new senator-elect of the republic.
Good luck, Senator Sonny Trillanes!
Tis GOOD NEWS, indeed!
I am so happy for ‘Sen-Sonny’!
Yahoooo!
Nagbunga rin ang pinagpawisan at pinaghirapan ng maraming kababayan natin na nag-volunteer para mabigyan ng pagkakataon si Trillanes….
Kudos to Ms. Ellen too, who, we all know made every effort to write about ‘Sen Sonny’ and give him the media mileage he lacked so much during the campaign period…..
and most of the volunteers [unnamed, pero kilala na natin sila] for a job well done. Kudos to all!
Prayers are in order para maipakita nawa ni ‘Sen Sonny’ kung paano ang tunay na paraan kung paano maging isang tunay na PATRIOT sa Bansang Sinilangan.
Hurrah! for GO Senators!
Si Koko na lang ang hihintayin natin.
GO!
Ellen
Nahuli yata ako sa balitang ito na siya lang na pinakahihintay ko kasi ang Ellenville ay hindi ko mabuksan kagabi ng ilang oras! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
MABUHAY KA Senator Sonny Trillanes! Mabuhay ang Pinoy! Mabuhay ka Ellen! Mabuhay ang Ellenville! At higit sa lahat…MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! Three loud cheers for us all!
Salamat sa media natin, sa LA Times at Asahi Shimbun at lahat ng sumulat tungkol sa phenomenal Sonny Trillanes!
With Trillanes around to make our voices heard, isang bagong umaga para sa ating mahal na Pilipinas!
Kaya siguro kaninang nasa Narita ako, parang gusto kong pumunta sa Pilipinas! Iyon pala madedeklara na si Trillanes. Kailan ba ang victory party? But I won’t go there if Koko is not proclaimed likewise. Kukulo kasi ang dugo ko kapag si So-Very-Me-Gal ang ideklara with daya votes.
BTW, iyong dalawang witness sa dayaan sa Maguindanao, in-abduct daw sabi ng Inquirer. Hindi ba nahihiya si So-Very-Me-Gal diyan?
Isa na ang namatay para lang siya manalo. Ngayon may dalawa pang mamamatay para sa panalo niya! Hanip din ano? Ang kapal naman ng mukha ng ungas na ito!
Let him be reminded thus of this: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground…” (Genesis 4:10). Remember, So-Very-Me-Gal, ang Diyos ay di natutulog, and “Crime does not pay!”
Hindi kinaya ng manipulador ng Daya ang nakaraang eleksyon kasi naputulan ng pakpak ang kanilang master….
Besides, nagbantay talaga ang mga Volunteers kaya kung nakadaya man, hindi nalahat….Hindi nakalusot sa ibang lugar, altho alam natin na ang Maguindanao, na-lubus-lubusang na-madyik.
VIGILANCE is the key.
Huwag matulog at bantayan ang lahat ng galaw ng mga magnanakaw nang medyo mabawasan naman. Mas maganda rin kung talagang maputulan na mga daliri ang mga ito nang mawala na nang tuluyan ang mga kurakot ng Bayan.
Really, Norpil? Good to know, thanks.
After the tempest,Trillanes will clean up the yard. There will be a long queue of resignations. First to go, I heard is desperately liquidating a high end subdiv house and lot.
Valdemar,
I wish (upon a star?) that the yard would be totally cleaned up with Gloria the first one to go! She’s afterall the only issue!
Trillanes is a victory for Pinoys.
We showed them evils in EK and the whole world that more than majority of us are right thinking people and can’t be manipulated by the bogus president. We only need the right personality to rally upon.
Nabibilang na ang oras mo, Gloria Pidal. Mag-impake ka na!
Yuko,
Koko will be next to be proclaimed, I have no doubt.
Tinamaan yata ng LA Times at Asahi Shimbun si Blinky Tianak!
Para siyang tinamaan ng mag-asawang kidlat!
HOOORRRAAAYYYYY!!!! FOR SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES IV!!!!
PLEASE DON’T FAIL US!!! God has given you a very IMPORTANT ROLE to FREE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE from the TYRANNY of GLORIA and her SYNDICATES!!!!
Also always TAKE CARE and beware of SNAKES & TRAITORS!!!
GOD BLESS YOU AND THE PHILIPPINES!!!!
You bet, dear Taipan, bantay-sarado pati mga pollwatchers natin sa Japan. Thanks din sa info and specimen. Hindi nakadaya ang gustong mandaya kasi madali namin silang nabisto. Malaking bagay ang specimen na pinadala mo.
At least, dito hindi tayo mapapatay! Ang kawawa iyong mga nasa Mindanao. Will see you at your place one of these days. May spa ba sa malapit sa inyo?
Chi: Nabibilang na ang oras mo, Gloria Pidal. Mag-impake ka na!
*****
Ito ang pinakagusto ko—ang pag-impake noong mga Pidals papuntang bilibid!!! 😛
Lt Gen Raul Urgello, thank you, Sir!
Off-topic but Inquirer’s banner says, “Palace: Commutation of Jalosjos sentence to ‘decongest’ jail.” In preparation na ba iyan sa pagpasok noong mag-asawang Pidal?
Much as I want to see the Pidals be inmates there, I don’t see any reason why one in maximum security should be included in this decongestion of Muntinlupa. Bakit? Malaki pa ang inabuloy ni Jaloslos sa eleksyon this year and 2004?
Natatanong lang kasi kakaduda ang ginawang hakbang sa isa pang ungas na ito. Golly, wala na bang katapusan ang mga Caval-valang itwo?!
Senator Trillanes, pagbutihin mo ha! We’re all behind you!!!
Ellen, pls allow me to repost here my panawagan from a previous thread.
****
Decapitated, lansag-lansag Esperon!
Release all incarcerated soldiers!
Wala silang kasalanan na pinatunayan ng 11 plus million votes ni Sonny Trillanes! His accumulated votes also speaks of votes of approval for the immediate release of the “Officers and Gentlemen”!
Skip,
Hindi natutulog ang ating Diyos. Salamat!
Rose,
Sinagot ka na ng newest Saint Eugenie. Salamat!
Trillanes victory ‘not welcome’ to AFP chief
By Maila Ager
INQUIRER.net
Last updated 04:49pm (Mla time) 06/14/2007
MANILA, Philippines — Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff General Hermogenes Esperon admitted Thursday that the victory of opposition senatorial candidate Antonio Trillanes was not the “most welcome thing” for him.
However, he made light of the possibility the former Navy officer — who is detained while being tried before civil and military courts for his role in a 2003 military mutiny — might pose difficulties for the military, he said it was Trillanes who had a problem because of his cases.
http://www.newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=71311
ang katulad ngayon ni esperon ay isang taong inaatake ng kati ng buning nagnanaknak na sa bawat kilos niya’t galaw ay naglulundagan ang kagaw kaya hindi siya mapakali sa isang lugar.
aminin man niya o hindi, maliwanag na ang bayag niya ay nangungurong at kinakalambre na siya sa nerbiyos!
‘yan ang napapala ng sobrang yabang, suwapang at kawalang kahihiyan! kupal!
Congratulations to Senator Sonny Trillanes on your confirmation and not forgetting to give Ellen a big thank you for allowing us to keep each other up-to-date by the use of Ellens Ville, we all appreciate your patients with us.
TRILLANES IS 11th SENATOR-ELECT
“…Trillanes might be the first senator of the country to serve from detention. (lawyer Robles) http://www.inquirer.net.ph
WOW, a true story!
Ang laki ng misyon nitong si Trillanes. I know he is fully aware what his victory meant to us!
Mrivera says, “…aminin man niya o hindi (Esperon), maliwanag na ang bayag niya ay nangungurong at kinakalambre na siya sa nerbiyos!
Meron pa bang bayag si Assperon?!
Naubusan na ba ng dahilan ang comelec thief na si ABALOS. Salamat sa diyos at matutuloy na rin ang pag upo ni Senator Trillanes. Sana ay Koko ay masunod na rin na maproklama.
CONGRATULATION TO SENATOR SONNY TRILLANES……..
Only in the Philippines ang bilangan sa boto ay huma abot ng ilang buwan.
Mrivera,
E ano kung “not welcome” kay Assperon ang victory ni Trillanes?! He’s just saving his corrupt face, wala naman talaga siyang magagawa, hindi nga pumwede ang kanyang kabalbalan na pandaraya.
Nothing is left of Assperon but to quit, ayaw sa kanya ng sundaluhan that he’s pea brain doesn’t get!
“…I’m now in a comfort zone where I can enjoy the stupid investigation being conducted by military authorities into the unexpected strong finish by Trillanes at the polls. These morons don’t really get it, do they? They refuse to see that the people elected Trillanes because they don’t like Gloria. They refuse to see that his election is an acquittal by the sovereign people of all pending political charges against him. They refuse to see the violent revolt that awaits them, should they persist in keeping Sen. Antonio Trillanes in detention.” Ronald Roy, http://www.tribune.net.ph
Congratulations to Senator-elect Trillanes. I’m truly amazed at the extent of his support given his lack of resources and mobility. I see his victory as an indicator that the sentiments voiced here in ‘Ellenville’ reflects the views of the Filipino people.
Tawanan muna natin ang katotohanan!

congratulations!

Positive headlines are up. It’s Glueria’s turn to sing “You and me against the world” to whoever she’s with tonight.
_____________________________________________________________
We can have a more responsible government if every enlightened Filipino would translate his wishes in more concrete terms like what happened in this last election.
OFWs and their families must make their huge contributions to the economy as the bargaining chip for demanding good governance.
Advanced Societies – the OFWs have seen them. But should they just satiate themselves salivating in envy knowing their own is far beyond civilized?
We need more AdeBrux, Mrivera, Ystakei, Ka Enchong, Skip, Chi, PSB, TT, etc. to keep the fire burning!!!
___________________________________________________________
BTW, thank you guys for making my wish come true just in time. This year will surely be my happiest.
To the host and all loyal Ellenville bloggers, Congratulations! In spite of the Comelec, you’ve done it!
Ah, nothing like the sweet taste of victory ! It is moments like this that make the fight all worth while..
Congratulations to Senator Trillanes. You gave many of us HOPE when it seemed all was lost. You showed many of us that no matter how difficult, the TRUTH is still the strongest foundation of a democracy.
As for those who stood behind Senator Trillanes, most especially MS. ELLEN: We won, too!
…Can somebody say to Assperon na General lang siya …si Trillanes ay Senador….kasi kung magsalita itong si assperon parang siya ang batas….kung talagang may kahihiyan ka dapat nag-resign ka na…
Chi:
Sinabi mo pa, ang Diyos ay di natutulog! Alam ko namang madedeklara si Sonny kaya nga ke may credential siya galing kay hindi maginoong keningburimong Abaloslos ay tinawag ko na siyang Senator Trillanes kasi katwiran ko masaya sila kung ibabasura nila ang 11M boto na ibinigay ng mga pilipino kay Senator Trillanes lalo na iyong unano na hindi naman naboto, nandaya lang and with the help of Mr. Noted! Parang “Remember Alamo” ang attitude ko sa luwang matang iyan.
Maniniwala ako sa kay Mr. Noted kung mauuna siyang magsampa ng disqualification (not really impeachment) laban sa unanong kababayan niya as a matter of fact. Otherwise, questionable siya sa akin.
Iyong Assperon, halatang sourgraping ang walanghiya. Malapit na siya. Ang sarap masipa ang mga iyan at malagay sa kulungan where he and the Pidals belong.
Remember Alam Natin!!! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Sarap ang labanan sa Senado nito. Dapat ipasok na si Koko din. Alalahanin ni Abaloslos na bar topnotcher iyan at first class lawyer!!!
BTW, Ellen, anong sakit ni Senator Pimentel? Kaya pala walang communication sa kaniya!
Sampot:
Thanks. Just loving still that land of my birth kaya nakikigulo for the better! Masakit kasing marinig na ang tawag sa mga pilipina ay Japayuki, meaning mga puta na ibinubugaw ng mga bugaw sa Pilipinas!!! With better Philippines, di wala na silang katwirang ibugaw ang mga pilipina.
Noong lunes nga 20 pilipina ang nahuli ng pulis for working in Japan as bar hostesses without permit. Lahat peke ang passport. Recruited ng mga sakim sa Pilipinas. Ang tigas talaga ng mga ulo. Sinabi nang bawal ang human trafficking sa Japan, padala pa rin. Next time, kunyari caregiver ang mga ungas!
Bob: …Can somebody say to Assperon na General lang siya …si Trillanes ay Senador….kasi kung magsalita itong si assperon parang siya ang batas….kung talagang may kahihiyan ka dapat nag-resign ka na…
*****
Sinabi mo pa. Bakit siya ba ang may-ari ng Pilipinas na puede niyang utusan ang mga pilipino na parang utusan niya na gawin lang nila ang gusto niya. Para sa akin illegal din ang position niya gawa ng kriminal ang nag-appoint sa kaniya. In other words, Mafia!!!
Ass-peron, kaya ka lang napuwesto diyan eh dahil ang pangalan mo ay naging matunog sa hello Garci tape. Oh di ba ang kapal ng mukha mo, para kang amo mo na binaluktot ang batas para lang mapuwesto sa Malacanang. Inggit ka lang kay Trillanes kaya pumuputok ang butse mo sa pagkapanalo niya, eleven milyon na Pinoy ang nagpuwesto kay Trillanes, ikaw si Garci lang.
Chi,
Yes ma’am. Senator Trillanes is proof that God ain’t floating on a cloud catching some Z’s but is still very much in control of our affairs.
Enough is enough, God must have said. Gloria and her ilk have inflicted enough harm on His beloved Filipinos. She has cheated enough, pillaged enough, lied enough, killed enough.
And now He has called forth Antonio Trillanes IV, Allan Peter Cayetano, Koko Pimentel, and the other true patriots to put a stop to the depravities of this government.
And as yuko has emphatically said, “sino nagsabing wala nang pag-asa ang Pilipinas?”
Aba meron — hayun at ipoproklama na mamaya!
Sampot,
Salamat. I have fought a little uphill battle of my own. It’s been terribly challenging for me to disabuse my friends, family and business associates of the dangerous notion that Gloria, warts and all, is still the best person to lead the country.
In the online forum of my college fraternity, for instance, I stuck out like a sore thumb for my zealous endorsement of Trillanes and Cayetano and for my searing comments against Gloria. They could not understand why a dyed-in-the-wool centrist like me has been spewing vitriol against the government. On my part, I could not understand why otherwise intelligent people like them could not
grasp that the issue was not Gloria’s purported competence but her legitimacy, or lack thereof.
I thought my efforts went for naught. But I was wrong. It came a pleasant shock to me that except for a handful of die-hard Gloria fans, a surprising number of my family, friends, business associates, and frat buddies actually ended up voting for our candidates.
There is hope for the country, after all.
Sen. Trillanes’ winning and his proclamation are indeed miracles. I will offer my thanks at mass tomorrow. The Philippines “tomorrow” is just a day away. And the sun will shine BRIGHT for us. PTL and TYL!
Sampot,
Oh yeah, your birthday wish just came true! Happy, happy birtday for you now that our Trillanes is officially a senator.
Sus…nagpapanik sa kaligayahan. Ulit.
Sampot, happy, happy, happiest birthday to you now that your wish has just been granted… Trillanes is officially a senator!
BOB,
As I said in a previous thread, Assperon must now address Trillanes “Your Honor” because he is a mere General whose appointment was forced on us, while Trillanes is a Senator of the land voted by more than 11 million pinoys!
In short, mas mataas na ang rango ni Trillanes sa kanya ngayon! Nang umikot ang bola ay tumigil na nang si Assperon ay napunta sa ilalim, hahahah!
Masabi kaya ng isang mama (that we all know is not a gentleman kahit tinatawag siya na Una kuno (lst) ang salitang…oh- vic-toh-ri ‘how sweet thy taste?” Oh yes–pero ibang klaseng- vic-toh-ri. Pero ang VICTORY ni Trillanes ay lason para sa kanya.
Sa wakas!
I made sure I never forgot him at the polls (he was near the top of my ballot)….
Now, the TU-TA’s thrashing is almost complete…almost.
Kailangan pa rin nating bantayan si Koko Pimentel…
Pahabol: Noong nanalo si Money Pack-yaw sa Las VegasI am sure nasabi niya yon- Hindi ba nanalo siya sa pustahan and he was vic-toh-rius? Kayo naman iba na ang nasaisip ninyo…
Rose,
You made me laugh. LOL! vic-toh-ri, vic-toh-rious!
Where is that IpDye? I don’t believe a moment that he has nothing to do with the dayaan in Mindanao. As usual, mga galamay ang naka-pronta gaya noong 2004 sa “hello garci”. Hindi lang siya nakalusot ngayon dahil sa vigilance at galit na ang mga pinoy sa mga Pidal!
Amidst all these cheering ang celebrating, let us not forget to thank first the Good Lord for making it happen.
Let’s thank Ellen, for her unrelenting and untiring crusade for truth and justice despite the hazards to her health and safety.
Ditto our countrymen, who proved our earlier fears were unfounded and did even further by making sure they voted right and that their votes were counted.
And for you and me, who have cultivated cataracts by keeping glued to Ellen’s blog for long periods, reading every post, long and short, laughing at our silly jokes, ganging up on perceived brigaders, sharing links and bible verses, and, as one pundit would say, engage in scream therapy – all for this one big miracle we never thought we would ever achieve.
All that energy weren’t wasted after all. But if you still have some left, let’s keep doing it until Koko Pimentel is finally declared. He needs it now more than ever.
EVIL DID NOT TRIUMPH THIS TIME ‘CUZ GOOD MEN DID A DARNED LOT! Mabuhay si Trillanes! Mabuhay si Ellen! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
Mabuhay tayong mga cyber-dissidents sa Ellenville!
Hear, hear, Tongue!
Heheh, just had an eye exam.
Ako rin, I’m getting my eyes checked by Dr. Arroyo (uhurm) at Rockwell this weekend. Namumuti na sa ilalim ng iris. Kung cataract, ipapa-Lasik ko na.
Side effect ng blog addiction!

*****
Me? I actually feel vindicated now for being ridiculed, laughed at, etc. in egroups where I fought hard for everyone to see the devil behind the mask of some holy-holy glory! I never supported this creep especially when I realized that she must be sick in the head to be telling people everywhere about her imaginary relationship with Bill Clinton or even the imperial couple of Japan just because her father was president when they visited the Philippines in the 60’s to win back Philippine friendship. Tingin ko talaga may malaking tupak sa ulo!
Never found myself doubting as I clung to my personal belief that “Good will always triumph over evil!” At sabi nga sa Bible, “Vengeance is mine” sabi nga ng Panginoon!
Chi, Tongue T:
I developed cataract when I was 40. Nalaman when I had an eye exam during a visit to my optometrist in the US. Kasi doon, they won’t fit you for glasses without the check up from an optometrist. Nakita tuloy ang cataract ko. I had operations of my eyes on a 5 year interval.
It is why I wear colored glasses because my eyes have become sensitive to light. Ingat. Kasi delikado din iyan.
Tongue T: Mabuhay tayong mga cyber-dissidents sa Ellenville!

Gusto ko itong description na ito a. Very UPian!!! Hahahahaha! 😉
Yuko,
I would say that half the number of my friends voted for Gloria’s slate (the half that didn’t speak to me about or against Gloria) but my whole family voted for GO.
Matter of fact, for the 2nd or 3rd time in her life, my Mom actually spoke to me at length about politics under Gloria, 1st one in 2004 when she said that she would vote for FPJ as a protest vote against Gloria (kumontik na akong himatayin when she said that) and persuading me to transfer my vote from Lacson to FPJ because she said Lacson had no chance of beating Gloria’s machinery at that time and second time this time dahil hayop daw iyang si Gloria kaya GO siya.
People with whom I’ve maintained friendship with and who don’t speak to me about or against Gloria, I’m pretty sure voted TU.
Saan ba ang maging office ni Sen.Trillanes- sa detention cell niya? Will the adm. pay rent for the use of space? And when he attends sessions ihahatid ba siya ng Army truck with the entire company on guard? Good- may interested audience siya at cheerers sa gallery. They certainly would listen to the reforms he wants to suggest. Hindi na siya magsalita ng =Ladies and gentlemen lend me your ears because they will all listen. Si Gloria kaya ay a attend sa opening? MASAYA ITO para sa ating lahat.
Oo nga Rose, nakakatuwa at masaya kapag iyan ang mangyayari sa pag-attend ni Sen Sonny ng sessions.

Breaktime ko. Nakakabit ang computer ko sa coffee shop na kinakainan ko. RE the unano. Wala iyang willing audience, only paid palakpak brigade. Hanggang Japan or even in the UN kasama prominent iyong Egcel Lagman. Tawag namin sa mamang iyan dito sa Japan, bugaw!
Thanks to your Mom, Anna. Nanay ko wala nang pakialam. She’s just worried about me, pero sabi ko sa kaniya sa Japan walang Esperon o Palparan, not even an unano who can evade the law by just saying, “I’m swori, mga gago, lapse of judgment!” Yuck! Back to work, till next breaktime.
Hey Yuko, what are you having for lunch? I just had some sushi delivered… yum yum! not as good as your sushis there but never mind!
When you come to Tokyo, Anna, I’ll take you to the real macoy, Sushi shops at Tsukiji! I usually have sushi in the afternoon—no big meal after 8 pm though. My favorite is “toro” (the good and tasty meat of the tuna) and “engawa” (a kind of shell, but I don’t know if it’s the same as the French “escargot”). Yummy talaga!
Anna, Yuko,
Sarap naman niyan! Ako, I roll my own Ebi or Kani Maki pero yung real sipit ng alimasag hindi yung artificial. Mahirap lang bumili kasi hindi ko alam ang pangalan, puro turo lang sa Japanese grocery. Sulat Hapon kasi. (Tamang-tama, Yuko, ano’ng pangalan nga nung seaweed wrapper at yung vinegar na pandikit?) Pero yung yellowfin or bluefin sushi, kahit sa mga palengke (Baclaran at Dampa) meron na, may kasama nang wasabi at Kikkoman!
Engawa pala ang Yuko-version ng Escargot ni Anna. Ako, ulam ko kahapon, ginataang kuhol na may tinadtad na siling labuyo. Woof!
tongue,
halos pareho pala tayo ng ulam kahapon. ang sa akin naman ay ginataang siling labuyo na may tinadtad na kuhol! awwooooooffffhooof!!!! (namamaltos ang nguso.)
Iba ang interpretasyon ko sa pagtaas ng kamay ni Ben Abalos kay Sonny Trillanes IV noong nakaraang Friday(June 15).
Noong nakaraang linggo nang iproklama ang sampung Senador(siyam lang actually dahil wala ang isa) at ipinakita sa TV ang mga ASTIG at TIKAS ng pakikipag-kamay bilang pag-congratulate.
Binigyan diin pa ni Comm.Brawner ang kay Gringo Honasan at Ping Lacson.(sentimental).
Pero ang nakabigay pansin sa akin ay iyong pagka-kamay(congratulate) ni Honasan at Lacson, iba talaga ang dating!
At wala duon ang ITINAAS ANG KAMAY ng NANALONG SENADOR!
Pero noong nakaraang araw(Byernes), itong si Abalos, itinaas ang kamay ni Trillanes! Photo Op ba ito?
Nakaka-alarma ang mga pangitain ng ganitong eksena.
MEDIA AT MILITARY magiging co-equal sa 4th branch of government?
Heto na ba ang naibunga ng EDSA People’s Power?
