Adel writes about Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila in the Manila Times.
The Senate grapevine says that immediately after Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano got the very important Blue Ribbon committee, Senate majority floor leader Francis Pangilinan approached Senate President Manny Villar and made known his intention to block the appointment of Adel Tamano as general counsel of the committee. Pangilinan’s message was dutifully relayed by Villar to Cayetano, who acceded to Pangilinan’s wish.
Another version was that Pangilinan approached Cayetano and told the latter straightforward: “Alan, I want to inform you that if you appoint Adel as general counsel, I will exercise my right to oppose his appointment.”
Tamano, as many of those who followed last mid-term election’s campaign know, was the spokesman of the Genuine Opposition whose good looks and intelligent statements lent credibility to the opposition’s campaign much to the dismay of Gloria Arroyo’s Team Unity propagandists.
I texted Pangilinan for confirmation of his stand against Tamano and his reply was, “Let’s just wait for the decision of the chair on the matter. As ex-officio member of the Blue Ribbon committee, I will make my position known at the appropriate time.”
I texted him back: “But I understand you have already made known your desire to block Tamano’s appointment. Did this have something to do with incidents during the recent election campaign?
Pangilinan replied, “Will limit my comment to previous text for now.”
I talked with Cayetano and he disclosed that Pangilinan just inquired whether Adel would be appointed general counsel. He said he informed the more senior senator that nothing definite has yet been reached with Adel.
He said if Adel can’t be general counsel of the Blue Ribbon committee, they will discuss other areas where the Harvard graduate lawyer, who has been appointed president of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, could help him. He said, “Probably he can help in the education committee (which I also chair).”
I talked with Adel and he said he has informed Alan that if his becoming general counsel for the graft-busting Blue Ribbon committee would add more pressures on him, he would rather stay out of the Senate for now.
It should be recalled that Tamano was courted by both the administration and opposition parties to be part of their senatorial ticket. Malacañang offered him P50 million outright contribution to his campaign plus a condominium. He was also not to worry about TV ads, transport and hotel accommodations in provincial sorties. Adel turned down the generous offer much to the disappointment of his mother, who is close to Gloria Arroyo.
I remember a comic TV scene in ABC-CBN’s TV Patrol then. Lakas chieftain Jose de Venecia was announcing the administration’s senatorial lineup including Tamano while the personable lawyer was announcing that he had accepted the offer of the opposition to be its campaign spokesman.
A source said Pangilinan was merely delivering Malacañang’s message to Villar on Tamano. Arroyo’s advisers are thinking that it’s bad enough that the Blue Ribbon committee went to their “enemy”. They foresee more problems if Cayetano is in partnership with a popular, principled general counsel.
Malacañang sees Tamano as an opposition senatorial bet in 2010 and they do not want to give him a platform for his future political plans.
Malacañang found a perfect hatchet man for Tamano in the person of Mr. Noted who has an axe to grind with the GO spokesman. Days before the opposition proclamation rally at Plaza Miranda, GO leaders issued an ultimatum to Pangilinan, whom they adopted as guest candidate, to decide whether he would join the GO rally or be dropped from the slate. Pangilinan opted to be “independent” and GO settled with 11 candidates.
Sources said Pangilinan takes it against Tamano that he is seen as an opportunist.
He is mistaken. Even without Tamano, the public knows that he owes his electoral victory largely to his megastar wife. He will always be remembered as an accomplice to Gloria Arroyo’s stealing of the presidency when he relegated to “Noted”, “Noted”, evidences of Gloria Arroyo’s cheating in the 2004 elections.
It’s easy to see why he is afraid of Adel Tamano.
“He is mistaken. Even without Tamano, the public knows that he owes his electoral victory largely to his megastar wife. He will always be remembered as an accomplice to Gloria Arroyo’s stealing of the presidency when he relegated to “Noted”, “Noted”, evidences of Gloria Arroyo’s cheating in the 2004 elections.”
The post was timely if only to unmask this Kiko Pangilinan or shall we say he has long been unmasked. I picked the above paragraph to emphasize how Kiko climbed up the political ladder to where he is now. He’s even eyeing the 2010 higher office position either as President or Vice. Kiko started as councilor in Quezon City. He ran for Congress in his district but failed. With ambition of becoming a Senator, he married Megastar in what was called the Wedding of the Year. With Megastar’s popularity and endorsement, Kiko was elected as Senator. His polical career started to fall when he refused to allow the opening to the boxes during the Congress canvassing. He was with another idiot, Raul Gonzalez. Everytime the opposition raised an issue or made a request, he simply said “noted”.
Came reelection time, he played smart by pretending to be independent even though we all know he’s always been with the administration. For some surprising turn of events, he was adopted by the GO Team. Yet, he insisted he was independent and even campaigned on his own…of course with his wife Megastar. Megastar was reported to have refused to join the GO campaign saying she didn’t want the team to benefit from her popularity. It was only Kiko’s votes that she was after. Magastar could have sung some nice songs to President Estrada for him to agree adopting Kiko. Kiko was also endorsed by INC. Erdy Manalo’s daughter Beth is reported to be very close to Sharon. Sharon was even Beth’s bridesmaid when the latter got married. With Estrada and Manalo’s blessings add to this was the fact that Kiko was Malacanang’s baby, he was re-elected. Now that he has been re-elected, slowly we see his actions favoring Malacanang.
What can we do? Yes, we can do something. In 2010, let’s dump this Kiko and then spit on his face. By then, even his Megastar wife won’t be of help.
Ano ngayon? Kapag ‘di siya pinagbigyan ni Cayetano ay magsusumbong siya kay David? Talaga itong si Noted, wala talagang prinsipyo.
Schumey, ano yan? Sharon has denied that already.
By 2010, the megastar would probably be the ‘bituing walang ningning’ by that time, so it will spell the end of Mr Noted Cuneta. I have not stopped wondering why this guy was still voted by the filipino people despite his ‘noted-noted’ stance in the 2004 election canvasssing. Their wednesday club is an unholy group of opportunists, that is all there is to it.
E ano kung ang tingin kay Kiko Noted ay oportunista?! Talaga naman a!
Itong si Kiko Noted ang nag-iisang independent daw na dependent sa kanyang asawang Magastar kaya nanalo!
Ang magiging legacy ni Kiko Cuneta, ang “noted” na nagdala ng fake presidency sa kanyang among si Gloria.
Tama, Ellen. Hinding-hindi iyan malilimutan.
Hindi kailangang si Adel Tamano ay pagbintangan niya “that he is seen as an opportunist”.
Wala pa si Adel ay iportunista na si Mr. Noted. Tumigil nga s’ya!
Subukan lang ni Kikay Pangilinan na awayin si Alan Cayetano. Pag di siya pinalayas sa bahay nila. Wag niyang aawayin ang Kuya Alan ni Lino, makakatikim siya ng mura kay KC!
Nakupow! Showbiz na ang tinitira ko ngayon, a!
isa yata sa theme song ng govt yung song na “what matter most” eh….what matter most is for them to stay together for their interests not to reunite the filipino people but to reunite their personal interests para pahirapan pa ang mga nakakaraming filipino na walang makain…sana si Kiko isipin niya sa kada subo niya may nakatingin na batang paslit na nagugutom….may pamilyang watak-watak dahil kailangan isakripisyo ng bawat magulang ang malayo sa mga mahal sa buhay para maghanap ng pagkain para sa mga anak nila..alipin ng ibang kultura habang ang naiwan niyang pamilya ay alipin pa rin ng baluktot na pamamalakad ng pamahalaan..
Ellen, Schumey was right about Sharon. What do we expect Sharon to say, true? Of course she denies it just like this woman in the Palace called the “Denial Queen”. Let me share this with everyone: Not that I’ve some connection with the movie industry but I have some reliable sources. Sharon the Megastar is among the celebrities the movie reporters called hypocrite or “plastic”. She tries to smile in front of audience and camera. She acts as if she’s the nice cute girl. But they say she’s very different at home or off camera. Kiko is called “Boy Kornik” of the Senate. He was given that name when he once served corns to his guests on his birthday. I know a lot more about the couple but this is all for now.
talagang ganyan sa pinas. magkakambal ang showbiz at politics.
prediksyon lang naman ito……
sa tingin ko tatahimik na si alan at adel. si alan, pagkatapos pa lang ng eleksyon, nagbago na ang ihip ng hangin. ang palagay ko, mag-iingay na naman si lacson. babanatan na naman si FG. bakit? kailangan niyang mag-ingay para mabasa o marinig palagi ang pangalan niya sa balita. nakatingin na si lacson sa 2010. si loren? sitting pretty na lang muna.
Goji: “she tries to smile in front of audience and camera.”
siempre naman artista siya at megastar..puro arte..hindi ba may kanta na “Hindi Kita Malilimutan”? Kinakanta ba iyan ni Sharon? Kasi I would like to “didikit” that song to her husband, Kiko, we will not forget you and we have noted and will continue watching and noting you and what you will do in congress..kaumpisa pa lang ninyo.. We will be vigilant and we will take note..that’s no threat but a promise. BTW hindi ba maraming Acting Appointees si GMA? Baka gusto rin niya magartista.
Pahabol..ang gwapo pala ni Adel at ang bata. Mabuti na lang tinangihan niya ang alok ni Cayetano to work in the senate. With Sen. Trillanes (sana payagan na siya) and Adel
hindi na maka pag trabjo si “Me gal so very” at very excited lagi..baka magkadahi__..siya..heheheh! Pero tama sana ano na maging counsel siya sa BRC maging exciting ang investigations..I continue praying for Sen. Trillanes…

But tongue, Lino Brocka is dead. And he was gay. Who’s KC? Kiko Cuneta?
Sorry, Tongue. Dehins ko kuha si Lino.
Rose, sa gandang lalaki ni Adel, baka lahat ng pupils at estudyanteng Kikay sa PLM ay wala ng gawin kundi abangan s’ya!
Rose,
Nalimutan ko. Talagang hindi makakapagtrabaho si Mi Girl So Very kung sa isang tabi ay nandun si Sonny at sa kabila naman ay si Adel! Hati ang kanyang tensyon!
Kung si Kiko Noted Cuneta ay lumabas na panglima na lang sa nagdaang eleksyon, this only meant na ang Sharon effect ay mahina na! 3 years from now ay baka iyon na lang matatandang fans niya ang nakakakilala sa kanya which is not enough to win her Kikay the VP!
TT ,
sino si Lino? Si KC alam ko anak ni mega..kaya lang si lino? kuwento naman kayo tungkol dun bago sa pandinig ko eh..
Goji,
Marami ka pala alam sa kanila, share mo naman ng malaman namin…para yung mga mihilig sa amin na maka sharon may makuwento ako at malibang man lang..at kahit marami siyang fans dun…clanish kaya ang muslim..at since tamano is muslim…masisira ang kasikatan niya. Si fpj nga sa movie kapag namamatay siya dun nagagalit ang mga nanonood sa kalaban ni fpj, what more pa si tamano na kalahi namin….
The melodrama we are witnessing in Villar’s senate is a personal politically motivated agenda. For those among us who know our political history, this view of politicians as ambitious power-seekers might even seem a venerable Filipino culture started when American’s granted us Independence. Now, the upcoming 2010 presidential election matters and voters have wrestled with the question of how the character of individual politicians matters; however, voters rational choice theory is more important, Voters begins with the assumption that all politicians pursue their own individual self-interest, usually understood in terms of ambition to hold power.Politicians need to do is to win and hold power in a political system.
A politician’s personal qualities can matter, but these effects are of limited interest in part because they tend to be idiosyncratic and cannot be reliably predicted. From this perspective, institutions such as electoral rules that define incentives for holding power are thought to be what matter most; individual politicians are sufficiently similar in their character and motivations that their personal qualities are of limited interest for understanding and explaining political life. There will be no choice who is a lesser evil, all politicians are mold the same.
In Pangilism theory,he believed in doing good to friends and harm to enemies.He insisted that every man who aspired to the position of statesman should prepare himself for his calling. Pangilism collapsed without Sharon re-enforcement, unlike Rectum dictum E-Vat is powerful than Vilmanians E-Vat contributed to his condemnation. On the other hand Pangilism is a complete failure, His ignorance and insincerity, cause him to attacked Tamano,it will be his Karma and he need to learn from experience, that if people are push against the wall, regrouping is an essential strategies,it may have been precisely what was needed to awaken that noble ego from his passive tendencies. Remember, Pangilism minus Sharon is nothing!
GOJI:
Ano ba goji! Si Lino po is the younger bro of Senators Allan and Pia Cayetano. He’s a young director, former boyfriend of Bianca Gonzales (a TV Host-actress; I dunno if she’s related to Raul “sa Baul” Gonzales), and now the beau of Sharon Cuneta’s eldest daughter, KC Concepcion.
Ayan ha, naglecture pa ako about mga buzz sa Philippine tinseltown.
Gossipmonger lang po…
So Mr. Noted blocked the supposed appointment of Adel as general counsel of the BRC. I really don’t like Mr. Noted, but it is within his right to exercise whatever pleases him. The ball is in Alan’s court, and he should also do what he is supposed to do. It has been known that he offered the position to Adel, and by withdrawing it due to the whining of Mr. Noted is not a good move. He should have stand his ground and fight for it whatever it takes just to prove that there is gold in his words and that he is his own man. Now I doubt if he is strong enough to stand and resist pressures that will come with the BRC chair.

Tama pala iyong kuwento ng kaibigan kong muslim na si Salambai.Doon daw sa lugar nila,pag ang sine at si FPJ ang bida,lahat daw ng muslim na nanood ng sine ay may dalang baril at binabaril nila si Paquito Diaz pag naaapi na si FPJ sa suntok,gumaganti daw sila.Kaya pagkatapos daw ng sine.iyong telon ay puedi ng gawing kulambo.
The Muslims loved FPJ so much. How could FPJ have lost in Mindanao in 2004 that’s predominantly a Muslim territory? If we follow the story that the Muslims would shoot the movie screen if FPJ was being abused and killed, what would they do to Gloria Arroyo if they see her there? Ever wonder now why Arroyo never visits Mindanao? If Arroyo truly believes she won in Mindanao, I dare her to travel to that place NOW.

Totoo pala.

Cocoy: Pang ilan bang presidente si Gloria? Grade School pa lang ako nagbabasa na kami ng Free Press sa bahay..kasi we were encouraged to read..at naalala ko:
Manuel Roxas – first president of the Republic of the Phil.sa kwento ng Lolo Juan (kapatid ng Lola ko and who at the time was Roxas Pres. secretary) he was assasinated in Clark Field..hindi ko alam ang pumatay sa kanya. He had ambitions to be a political power and was close to Quezon. I think he was Speaker of the House. Then came Quirino-ang pinakamalakeng scandal niya ata ay yong 5,000 pesos na arinola.
Next was Garcia, Magsaysay..sa plane crash.. then Macapagal, followed by Marcos, etc. I also heard of Sen. President Avelino and I understand may mga anomalia din. Mabuti pa noong maliit ako nagbabasa ako ng diario..kahit na gabi na dumadating sa Antique. Mahirap ang mga tao..pero kahit ginamos kag mungo may kinakain..at wala kang makitang mga bata na palaboy laboy sa kalye.. na sa school.. Ngayon while there is globalization ay mas lalong hirap ang mga tao. This could not be a sign of progress? is it?..mali ata.
Gokusen: gusto ko yong idea mo..buhusan ng matamis na bao at ipakagat sa langgam..the big red ants…pero hindi ba ang nanay niyang si Eva ay taga banda dian..kaya may lahi siyang “royalty” kuno. Royalty fees seguro na binabayad sa kanya for being the most corrupt president ever.
The squabbling over the Senate committees and boiling coup to outs Senate President Villar is not new. It’s always been that way. The way of the politician.
For these people, election is just a means to legitimize their hold for power. For most of them view their post as power. A power synonymous to authority, wealth and fame. And their greed for power corrupts them.
There is nothing new in to our politics. These ambitious, greedy and corrupt people are in complete control of the Filipino people because we allow them to rule upon us.
So why don’t we instead do more concrete action to render these corrupt politician irrelevant and empower the people which is the real essence of democracy?
What shall we do then? Then let’s start it by discussing what shall the Filipino do.
rose;
Manuel Roxas was not assassinated, he suffered a heart attack on April 14, 1948.at Clark Air Force Base in Pampanga. He died on American soil.
In December 1931 Roxas, together with Senate president pro tempore Sergio Osmeña, left for the United States to secure the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act from the U.S. Congress, which would grant Philippine independence after a transition period of 10 years. This bill was rejected by the opposition forces led by Manuel Quezon. In 1934 Roxas was elected to the constitutional convention. In 1938 he was appointed secretary of finance by Commonwealth president Quezon and then became his trusted adviser. In 1941 Roxas ran for the Senate and won
On Dec. 8, 1941, at the outbreak of the war, Roxas served as lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE). He refused to join Quezon in fleeing to the United States because he wanted to preserve the morale of the Filipino soldiers fighting in Bataan and Corregidor. He was captured in 1942 by the Japanese forces in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, and was forced to serve in the puppet government of José Laurel. Roxas accepted the position of chairman of the Economic Planning Board in Laurel’s wartime Cabinet. During the Japanese retreat he allegedly escaped from the Japanese high command in Baguio on April 15, 1945.He collaborated with the pro-Japanese administration during World War II but was defended in postwar trials by Gen.Mc Arthur. He became president of the Philippines when independence was achieved (1946). Roxas obtained rehabilitation funds from the U.S. but was forced to allow the U.S. to maintain military bases and make other major concessions. His government was marred by corruption and police brutality, setting the stage for the Hukbalahap rebellion.
Roxas became the last president of the Commonwealth and the first president of the Republic of the Philippines when it was inaugurated on July 4, 1946.Although, I was not yet born that time, I know my Philippine Government and History very well, Magellan discovered the Philippines in March 16,1521. I read a lot of books authored by Gregorio F.Zaide.
rose;
If you are talking about Quirino’s Golden Arinola ay totoo iyon.Iyong Pilot ni President Ramon Magsaysay ng nag-crush ang eroplano na si Gen.Benito Ebuen ay very close relatives ng pinagmulan kong lahi.
Ito namang si Villar, kung sinu-sino pa ang itinuturong may kasalanan daw ng gulo sa Opposition. Inutil din ano? But then, ilan bang pilipino ang malakas na loob na umamin ng mga kasalanan nila. Iyon ngang inutil sa Malacanang, hanggang ngayon hindi pa umaamin na nandaya siya e.
Puede ba tigilan na?! Ako, walang bilib kahit kanino sa kanila maliban lang kay Senator Trillanes at Senator Pimentel. Lahat questionable sa akin kasi pare-pareho lang silang mga walang prinsipyo. Hopefully, may magagawa si Koko Pimentel laban doon sa isa pang mandaraya na bakla pa!
Sabi nga sa Bible, “And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. • • • No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Luke 16: 9, 13; Matt.6:24)
Noted that “Noted” didn’t deny the incident. What he pretty much said was “no comment.”
But Kiko Noted doesnt have to make his position official because now because the issue of Tamano’s appointment will not be brought up anymore by Cayetano– dahil “na-veto” na Kiko ang appointment ni Tamano kay Villar.
Pre-emptively na pinatay yung appointment ni Adel.
Cocoy:
Maraming kuwento ang mga kaibigan naming hapon na residente ng Pilipinas before and during WWII. Hindi sila bilib kay Roxas na collaborator. For all you know, maraming retoke ang history ng Pilipinas para bumango ang mga pangalan ng mga landgrabber, etc. Kaya tignan mo ang nangyari sa Pilipinas. Kung may mga tunay na nagmamahal sa bayan baka iba ang naging takbo ng bansa. Unfortunately, ang nagpalakad ng Pilipinas after independence ay mga mandurugas at walang tunay na malasakit sa bansa. Otherwise, they would have had good laws and implement them. Golly, ni walang batas to insure that no Filipino remains illiterate and uneducated, nor has there been any real attempt to narrow the gap between the haves and the have-nots, huwag nang between the rich and the poor or the privileged and underprivileged!
Kawawang bansa!
OK lang ang golden arinola ni Quirino kung talagang pera naman niya ang ipinambili niya. Ang masama iyong claiming that she has all the right to squander money in the Philippine treasury kasi sila daw ang talagang may-ari ng Pilipinas with all those fake documents now they claim they have. Iyon pala retoke na gawa sa tulong ng computer. Susmaryosep! Never heard ang mga claims ng mga Pidals before 2001. Ang laki ng mga tupak sa ulo, naka-publish pa ngayon sa Wikipedia.
Sabi nga sa church namin, the Internet can be used for good and evil. Tama nga. Ang masama ginagamit ni Pandak sa kasamaan at panloloko niya at noong anak na mahilig manggulo sa cyberspace!!! Ewww, ngeek!
alam kasi ni mister sharon cuneta na wala siyang panama kay adel tamano kaya ganu’n na lamang ang pagharang niya sa appointment sana ng huli bilang legal counsel ng blue ribbon committee.
bukod sa reprisal, INGGIT at pangungupete ang nararamdaman ng asawa ng magastar.
Bottom line: Matatabunan ng husto ang pangalang “Mr. Noted Pangilinan” aka Mr. Sharon Cuneta kapag nakapasok bilang legal counsel ng Blue Ribbon Cuneta si Adel Tamano.
Maihahalintulad na lamang siya sa alikabok hanggang maglaho dahil palaging ini-interview ng mga press corps ay si Adel Tamano.
Talagang ang hilig din ng kumag sa limelight samantalang wala siya sa kalingkingan ni Adel kung sa personality lang ang pagbabatayan, di ba?
Ms Ellen,
thanks ng marami .. magsukol po mula sa taga-amin!
off topic…

Kayong mga hindi up- to- date sa showbiz: Lino is Lino Cayetano, the very good-looking younger brother of Alan Cayetano. Lino is a TV and film director.
KC is Kristina Cassandra Concepction, the Paris-educated daughter of Sharon Cuneta with Gabby Concepcion.
Lino and KC are sweethearts.
Tongue, ang sharp ng showbiz antenna mo. I failed to connect right away Lino Cayetano and KC Concepcion in this Blue Ribbon issue.
Rose, Adel is the son of the late Sen. Mamintal Tamano.
Once, I was together with Adel in a forum on Human Security Act at UP Manila. He is such an effective speaker. Click here.His students (he teaches at FEU and Ateneo) must be enthralled when he lectures.
It just ocurred to me now that both Adel and Kiko are Harvard graduates.
.”
Ibig sabihin eh talagang tuta at emmissary ng Malacañang itong si Mr. Noted! Kunyari eh independent pero namamangka sa dalawang (o tatlong) ilog. Mag-ingat ang mga tunay na oposisyon kay Mr Noted at mga taga-Wednesday group. Mga espiya iyan sa grupo ng oposisyon. BAYAD ng Palasyong ang mga nakatira ay kuwago.
Ate Ellen, since parehong Harvard graduate yung dalawa kaya ‘insecure’ itong si Mr. Noted dahil lalabas ang kanyang pagkabugok!
Senator Pangilinan sent me this message this morning:
“Oh and I am certainly not a hatchetman of anyone.” Mr. Noted..
Would anyone admit being a hatchet man?
Mr Noted was being wooed by the GO because the opposition ticket is committed to several parties which comprised it, including LP, the party where he belongs and not because of his ‘NOTED track records’. may yabang din naman talaga sa katawan itong si oportunista!
Ang totoong partidong inaaniban ni Mr. Noted Pangilinan ay partido “It-Depends then”! Kung saan siya makikinabang duon siya.
Itong pagsusumbong ni Mr. Noted Cuneta kay Daddy Money Villar dahil lang sa “kesyo” na tingin sa kanya ni Adel ay oportunista ay hindi lalaking rason at attitude.
Ang lalaking attitude ay ganun kay Ping na nilapitan si Chiz at Villar para sa pagkakasundo ng oposisyon; at iyong ganun kay Trillanes na “walang iwanan” stand!
Lalaki sa lalaki, bakit hindi niya kausapin ng harapan and tell it to Adel’s face?! Duwag!
A text from Mr. Noted Pangilinan to Ms. Ellen: “… Oh and I am certainly not a hatchetman of anyone.”
C’mon, your performance in the May 2004 presidential elections during Congressional canvass with the infamous remark of “Noted!” revealed otherwise.
pogi naman pala etong si adel(macho pa!), kaya pala takot si mr. noted kiko, baka nga naman di rin sya makapagpigil gaya ni mi-girl zubiri, buking ! kakahiya nga naman.
mr. noted, wag ka nang umasa pa na mananalo ka pa sa susunod na election! wala kang silbi.
mr. noted kiko, bumalik ka nalang sa pag re-report (abs-cbn) kayong dalawa ni kabayan noli de castro, mas bagay kayo doon.
Cocoy..thanks a lot for the clarification. Mali pala ang pagintindi ko kung paano namatay si Roxas. I find it ironical though that while he refused to go with Quezon to a US soil he died in Clark Field which is considered a US soil. kaya pala walang part si Roxas sa Malinta tunnel’s..lights and sounds. Sundalo pala siya..kaya may malaskit..Pero itong tungaw wala siyang paki sa mga sundalo-the latest news was more soldiers are killed..Where was she all this time? At least si Bush and C. Rice kahit ba sabihin ay arte lang..nagpunta sa battle field to give morale support to the men..makakapunta kaya si Gloria sa Mindanao? At nakakatulog pa siya? At pangiti ngiti pa siya with that Vietnmese rep who will be investing in the Phil. Manhid talaga..bakal..
Mr. Noted said that he called for GMA’s resignation..called but did he do something? Wala ata at hindi lang yon kapit tuko na siya sa administration..Anong klaseng senador na sa opposition kuno..opus nga siya nang cigarilyo..time to throw all these oppus..nothing but cigarette butts..
Sa mga lugar na hindi makarating ang tulong..puede naman gamitin ng army ang mga aeroplano para ihulog ang pagkain, gamot at kung ano ang mga pangangailangan..hindi ba? Kung takot ang military magbomba ng bala at “peace talks” kuno di gamitin sa pagbomba ng pagkain, gamot..etc. Pagkakataon na niya mag photo ops na nakasakay sa helicopter at isama na niya si Brenda na gusto tumalon sa aeroplano..at dalawa na sila ang tumalon…
Ellen Says: “Tongue, ang sharp ng showbiz antenna mo. I failed to connect right away Lino Cayetano and KC Concepcion in this Blue Ribbon issue.”
Exactly, my point is that no one in the Senate can better influence Alan Cayetano to forego Adel’s nomination. Not NP partymate Villar because beyond Alan’s appointment, he cannot do anything much, he is held hostage. Not Ate Pia, too. She’s a fencesitter alright but blood is always thicker than water. The only logical choice, therefore, is Kiko, who by affinity through stepdaughter KC is connected to the Cayetanos since Alan’s bro and KC are sweethearts. He is the hatchet man alright and no denial would make me believe him.
KC, I’m told, is not comfortable with Kiko around the house. That’s why she chose to study in the States and Europe. She’s an independent soul and having her stepdad messing with prospective in-laws will surely not sit well with her.
Anyways, was just testing Goji back there when he said he knows the Cunetas. Heheh.
Adel would have been a perfect choice to work for the Blue Ribbon.
Imagine, a top notch charismatic lawyer working for the prosecution of the Pidals, Pinedas, Bolantes and the like, built around airtight cases that Harvardians reputedly are trained for? We should have seen how Malacañang pushed all the panic buttons to take him out from there!
Looking back, had Tamano accepted to become a GO candidate, Kiko would not have even made it. Many Erap followers believed that spot was for Kiko. It’s high time Muslims had a senator represent them on the Senate. Ah well, there’s 2010 to look forward to. I hope.
It sounds right, backdoor channeling via showbiz connection. Kikay Cuneta-Pangilinan cannot say no to Sharon or else alsa balutan na.
Natawa ako sa nabasa ko na sabi ni Adel ay hindi niya alam kung bakit ayaw sa kanya ni Kikay Noted Cuneta samantalang hindi naman niya komite ‘yun, saka hindi naman daw niya (Adel) aagawin si Sharon sa kanya (Kiko). Hahahaaha! Sobrang malaman a!
Tongue, I pretended not to know Lino and KC. It was you guys whom I was testing. Of course I know them. I know Sharon’s late father, the longest serving mayor of Pasay. The Cunetas were Marcos loyalists. Sharon’s mom is the sister of Helen Gamboa, former Senator Tito Sotto’s wife. I even know Tito’s background. He had a combo group while young called “Tilt Down Men”. He and Helen eloped. Tito used to be a not so good guy. Back then, combo groups had a not so good reputation. They were similar to gangs. Lots of rumbles and fighting during parties. Tito changed for the better after their marriage.
Tongue said:
Alan and Adel had something like the situation in the late 50’s when Robert F. Kennedy served as general counsel of the Mc Clellan Commission or Select Committee on Improper Activities. They investigated racketeering like the case of labor organizer Jimmy Hoffa. (later, when JFK became president, he got Robert as his attorney general)
But the problem i see in Philippine setting is the egos of the senators who would comprise the Blue Ribbon committee. Alan has no 2010 political ambitions, so he can allow Adel to set the lead in the committee. But how about the senator-members? Siyempre pataasan ng ihi yan.
During the last election campaign, we have heard and read about Malacañang offering huge sums of money for high survey-raters to join the administration’s team Unity ticket. All those claims were made by “sources.”
Now it’s on the record from Senator Pangilinan:
Just imagine the incentives given to Joker Arroyo, Ralph Recto and others.
Ah, so your referring to Lino Brocka was simply nonsense? Sorry, but I thought you were writing sense. And you’re pretending not to know. What else are you now pretending?
FYI, Kalbo was my Ninong and I visited him a few times in Dasma. The last time we were there a few months before he died, Sharon has installed an elevator just to make it easy for the old man to travel from the first to the second floor. They were my Ninongs and Ninangs – Kalbo and Elaine, Peewee Trinidad, Dr. Co, Rosie Bernabe, etc. In fact, we could have done a roll call of City Hall and they were all there in my reception, heheh.
As for Tito Sotto, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you I jammed and recorded with him and VST, too, would you?
My last post was intended as a reply to goji.[wink]
What’s P150M if he lost anyway. He’d probably lose Sharon too. Gone with her several hundreds of millions. Wise, diba?
Pero I never thought someone would be stupid enough to confirm the offers, never mind if it was just texted.
Nagyabang lang, nangsabit pa, Ellen.
Gokusen:
Please ask Ellen to give you my Email address and I will try to see how I can assist your family – thanks.
Tongue, VST was much later. Among the members of the group was Tito’s younger brother. I know you know a lot about the Cunetas and showbiz; but I kinda find your comment about me with a double meaning. I should not have said I pretended not to know, but just admit it as a joke. The last portion of my post was even deleted by Ellen and I do understand why she did it. Let’s keep moving…what else is new?
BTW this 150M was OUR money the People’s Money paid through their hard earned taxes that Schizoglo is handing out to these clowns who are already living the high life.
They talk of money like telephone numbers when there are many, too many on the bread line. Let the likes of Kiko the Clown live for a week in a cardboard carton which would bring him into the real world – something worthy to Note!
Ellen Says: “Alan has no 2010 political ambitions. So he can allow Adel to set the lead in the committee. But how about the senator-members? Siyempre pataasan ng ihi yan.”
Pag nagpataasan ng ihi ang mga senador:
-kawawa sila Loren, Jamby, at Pia – hindi makakasali. Si Miriam kasama sa mga lalaki;
-mababasa ang sapatos nina Joker, Enrile, at Pimentel
-diretso at malayo ang aabutin ng kay Gringo,
Lacson, Trillanes, at Biazon;
-dalawang-krus yung kina Jinggoy, Chiz, Villar at Alan;
-paikot-ikot yung kina Lapid at Revilla;
-pabugso-bugso yung buga nung kay Roxas;
-nakataas ang isang paa nila Angara at Gordon;
-patalikod iihi si Kiko;
-paupo si Zubiri!
Come to think of it, no need for the cardboard carton just a few days living in the average barrio, carrying water to the house and collecting sticks for the stove – that would make him satisfied with 150 peso let alone 150 million – Smile
Tongue, ikaw talaga. Hindi ko yata nakuha ang kay Zubiri.
Ellen;
Iyong mga barbero sa beauty shop na malalantik ang daliri kahit na alanganin ang pagkalalaki nila ay paupo kung umihi.
si kiko patalikod iihi? hmmmm…
and malamang tatawag muna kay sharon yun para itanong kung iihi sya.
Ellen,
I am in CA still, but would like to help the people in Gokusen’s hometown when I get back to Tokyo. Will talk it over with my Japanese friends doing charity in the Philippines when I go home.
TT: patalikod iihi si Kiko;
*****
Pilyo na talaga Tongue. What you said above reminds me of what I heard the performer at Manila Garden said in one of his shows. “Nakatali sa T-back ko patalikod,” and that was his “bukong” he said!!! 😛 Ano iyon?
“Si Miriam kasama sa mga lalaki;”
puwede nang hindi, dahil patayo na rin kung umihe si brenda. namimilipit sa binte.
si kiko patalikod iihi? hmmmm…
and malamang tatawag muna kay sharon yun para itanong kung iihi sya.
***
OK ang poste mo, kulitus. Itinatago na ay “dependent” pa rin kay Sharon pati pag-ihi. heheh!
when one is blocking the entry of a more progressive head to be an adviser of a certain committee, he surely is afraid of something he only knows.
it is also a sign of protecting vested interest aside from being an immature and irresponsible lawmaker.
that is mr. kiko PANGILinan, the canine ally of gloria.

…Mrivera, Miriam has difficulty urinating now after having her kidney “liposuction”. Last time, it was her brain that underwent liposuction. Now, it’s the kidney.
Ellen, ang mga lalaki pag umihi sa pader, sinisigawan ng kapwa lalaki, “Traydor, wag mo kaming talikuran”. Kung bakit paupo yung kay Zubiri, nasa CR ng Ladies and kasagutan.
Yuko, yung T-back pag bading ang nagsabi, ibig sabihin yung “T” nakatali sa back. Para hindi visible yung bulge. Lalo sa drag queens na naka tight jeans.
Pero buti na lang hindi naging senador si Pichay. Kasi yung mga katulad niyang conceited pag umihi dalawang kamay ang gamit! Akala mo baseball bat ang hawak, ga-vienna sausage lang pala, heheh.
Si John O. naman kung umihi, nakatingin sa katabing urinal.
Ikaw Mrivera, Cocoy, Diego, sasabay ka ba sa CR kay Zubiri?
Tongue, if Mikey Arroyo goes to CR and peee, he uses his thumb and forefinger to hold his. Have you seen someone picking a peanut? That’s it.
Ms. Ellen, you said that “It just ocurred to me now that both Adel and Kiko are Harvard graduates.”
Unless I’m mistaken, from what I understood, Kiko took courses lang in Harvard, he didn’t exactly graduate like Adel did.
Maybe you’re correct, Chabeli. One can claim to have graduated from this and that but only took a few subjects. Gloria Arroyo was also guilty of this. What I know about Kiko is that he’s a lousy lawyer. Has he handled any important case? I only got to know this guy when he represented a certain cop De Los Reyes in that Kuratong case years ago. Kiko was then a human rights lawyer.
Best way to do is check with the Alumni Association of Harvard if Kiko graduated from it or not.
Over in Japan, Chabeli, one who lies about his credential can actually be removed from office as in the case of an elected parliamentarian who was found out to have lied on his education background. He said that he graduated from a university in California. Some prying media checked and found out that he did not even attend the said university. Napahiya ang party niya, and he was asked to step down. He was likewise charged in court for breach of trust and given a severe punishment.
Another was prevented from running for office when she claimed that she went to Columbia University. The husband, who was a baseball coach, was likewise forced to resign. The wannabe candidate was fined and given a suspended jail term. Dapat ganyan sa Pilipinas. Ang kaso, breach of public trust. Don’t they have such kind of ruling in the Philippines?
How many value the reputation that the Japanese possess? It is this kind of value that makes Japan what it is now today. But I posed one query in another thread about the rising child abuse cases in Japan. I came across a news item about that.
On Tamano, the latest I got is that Alan is still considering to get Tamano despite objection from Kiko. It could be popular public demand which compelled Alan not to give up on Tamano. And so unless it’s final, let’s just wait for further development.
Well, his objection is noted. Kiko Cuneta Pangilinan cannot dictate want he wants in the Blue Ribbon Committee. Sen. Alan Cayetano can choose his legal staff for best interest of the Filipino people not the thieves in Malacanang.
Ano ba ang bagong balita sa kaso ni Sen. Trillanes?
Tungkol sa pag-angal ni Kikay Pangitlinan sa appointment ni Atty. Adel Tamano as general counsel ng Blue Ribbon Committee, pwedeng sabihin ni Alan Cayetano na…’NOTED’!!! At tapos ituloy ang appointment!

Ganoon ba iyon? Akala ko talagang T-back ang suot noong bakla! Hay! Iba pala ang ibig sabihin ng T-back niya! Literal pala ang ibig sabihin niyon! 😛
Mr. Noted: “ I was never a party to electoral fraud in 2004”
Oh, Yeah. After the “Noted” performance in the counting of COCs, now he claimed he’s clean and straight as an arrow. Naghugas kamay at nagmalinis pa. Anyway, for his acts, he will always be remembered not only as Mr. Noted Cuneta but will go down in the dust bin of history as one of the “signatory” of the cheating and illegal presidency of Gloria. And if ever he aspires for a higher office, no doubt, it will going to haunt him. He should not be so cocky of his win last election and he should thank Ms. Susan Roces because she did not make it a priority to campaign against him, because if she did, what could have happened then. Just take a look at where Chiz landed on her endorsement.
Diego asked, “Ano ba ang bagong balita sa kaso ni Sen. Trillanes?”
I understand, Trillanes’ lawyers filed a motion for reconsideration last Friday. Hearing, I think, is scheduled on Wednesday.
tongue,
he he he he heeeeh!

manigas ‘yang tsugiri na ‘yan!
ipasa mo na lamang kina enrile at joker.
Goji,
You said that “What I know about Kiko is that he’s a lousy lawyer..” That is what I heard, too, from one of his teachers in UP Law School. He told me that Kiko was one of his “below-average students.”
Ystakei,
You said that “Over in Japan..one who lies about his credential can actually be removed from office..Dapat ganyan sa Pilipinas. Ang kaso, breach of public trust. Don’t they have such kind of ruling in the Philippines?”
Wala yata, Ystakei. To me parang over here you’re a cool politician when you can lie through your teeth ! Look at Gloria. These people are the trapos – basahan na yata ang tawag sa kanila !
Only Fr. Ed Panlilio (governor now of Pampangga) & Senator Trillanes have broken the trapo/basahan politics in the Philippines. They are, with many prayers from their supporters, the light of the future of the a better Philippines.
Ooops, Ystakei, a typo on my last sentence. Should read:
They are, with many prayers from their supporters, the light of the future of a better Philippines.
kiko pangilinan? sabi ko nga bumalik nalang sya sa pag re-report mas marami pa syang fans.
chabeli says: “…….He told me that Kiko was one of his “below-average students.””
at least, not a failing grade. nahihilot naman ‘yan sa pagsusuot ng amerikana at kurbata para magmukhang matalino at may ibubuga.
kita n’yo nga at nabingwit niya si mega.
he he he heh.
“ I was never a party to electoral fraud in 2004”
Mag-gala ka Kikay Noted Cuneta sa buong Pilipinas at sabihin mo sa harap ng publiko! Kung hindi ka pugutan din ng ulo sa itaas at sa ibaba! Tigilan mo nga ang satsat mo, tulad ka ni Mi Girl So Very, cornered na ay palusot pa! heh!

Reason why I won’t buy that Kikay was a Harvard graduate, hindi s’ya papasa sa entrance exam doon! He was there for a few courses, or the most is a year, on a scholarhip granted him by an agency of the gov’t. Aside from the $50K plus yearly tuition fee ++ na wala s’ya before marrying the Cunetas, imposible!

Very well “Noted”, Chabeli.
AK,
Out of touch ako sa TVland ng Pinas. Why Kikay Noted ba was a reporter before?

Ang galing mo talaga, Mrivera.
While I was serious, you just blew air from below at ayan meron kang malaman but witty comment. Right on, gimme five!
chi,
oo, si kiko noted ay reporter yan ni kabayan sa abs-cbn.
Kiko was not a reporter. He hosted a show, something like a barangay forum type. That was before he launched his senatorial campaign. It was, of course, in aid of his senatorial plan.
I don’t think the program rated well.
kiko PANGILinan really studied abroad and took up public administration course under a scholarship grant. that was months before the deadline of filing of candidacy for the national election.
kasama pa niya si maga sa US.
ang hindi ko lang alam kung sa gate ba siya dumadaan o doon lamang siya kumukuha ng lecture sa likod ng mga halaman. nakatapos naman siya. ewan lang kung pumasa.

Thanks, Ellen.
In aid of his ambition pala. Si Kikay talaga, oo!
Mrivera,
Now I remmy. E anim na buwan lang yata sila sa Boston a! Walang binabatbat ‘yan!
Kasi kung tunay na Harvardian si Kikay ay hindi ganyan ang asta! Tanungin ang tunay na si Adel!
Ellen, maraming salamat sa Trillanes’ update. Sana huwag magbulag-bulagan ang mga korte para mabigyan katarungan ang mga ina-api ng rehimneng Arroyo.
alam n’yo bang talagang napakasuwerte ‘yang si kiko?
kung matatandaan ninyo, tahasang sinabi noon ni sharon kay goma na ayaw na niya sa guwapo dahil ayaw na niyang may kahati at masaktan. nandoon pa nga ako at nasa likod ko ‘yang si kiko. pagharap ni sharon sa amin ay ngumiti siya ng pagkatamis tamis na muntik ko nang ikalaglag sa upuan. lumapit siya sa aking harapan at akala ko ako ang yayakapin at hahalikan, si kiko pala.
nakalimutan ko, ayaw na niya sa guwapo. laglag ako!
he he he heh. dyok lang po.
