The Magdalo is cooking something.
But not a coup that preoccupies the paranoid minds of Gloria Arroyo and her henchmen.
At the ongoing International Book Fair going at the World Trade Center on Roxas Boulevard, you will find at the booth of Anvil Publishing, “Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen”.
The book is written by two of the detained Magdalo officers, Ensigns Elmer Cruz and Emerson Rosales. My friend, Yvonne Chua, and I edited the book.
Please get a copy. You will find the book delightful not only for its recipes but also for the anecdotes behind many of the items there.
Aside from the authors’ personal recipes, the book contains contributions from other detained officers. There’s one from Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
Here’s the introduction I did for the book:
“Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen” is one proof that wonderful things can happen in the most unexpected places.
“During a break in the court-martial hearing of the Magdalo officers last January, a young Air Force officer, Lt. Ashley Acedillo, approached me to say that two of his colleagues were looking for a publisher for their cookbook. Could I help them?
“Ashley introduced me to Ensigns Elmer Cruz and Emerson Rosales, who showed me a bookbound copy of their cookbook, originally titled “Drunkards’ Delight.”
A cookbook by detained military officers!
It got me excited.”Elmer and Emerson have been in detention for almost four years for their alleged involvement in what is commonly referred as the Oakwood mutiny.
“On July 27, 2003, some 300 junior military officers and soldiers took over the Oakwood Hotel at the heart of the Makati Commercial Center and declared their withdrawal of support from the government of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. No blood was shed in the 19-hour siege.
“Having had Anvil as publisher, I offered to contact Karina Bolasco, Anvil’s assistant general manager and publishing manager, for Elmer and Emerson.
“It was Ashley who suggested to the two to include personal anecdotes about the featured recipes. I seconded the suggestion and offered editorial assistance.
“I also offered to find a good book editor for them. I did not have to exert extra effort to convince Yvonne Chua, who teaches journalism at the University of the Philippines and has an extensive background in book publishing when she was with the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, to join the project.
“As detainees (at Fort San Felipe in Cavite), Elmer and Emerson’s communication with the outside world is restricted. That was a challenge we had to deal with. But as the cliché goes, if there’s a will, there’s a way. Suffice it to say that everything related to this project was done according to military rules and regulations.
“Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen” is more than just a cookbook. It’s another inspiring story of how adversity can be turned into opportunity. Yvonne and I are glad to be part of it.” .
The book fair runs until Sunday. “Pulutan…” will be available in all National Book Store outlets and other major bookstores. It sells at P125.00 per copy.
Ellen,
I would like to order copies of this cookbook. I love to cook myself and have joined in compiling several cookbooks in church that we have published but not commercially. May I know how I can get copies of this new cookbook?
Wow! Tunay na Wow, Ellen.
So wonderful that the Magdalos are creatively productive inside jail!
Congratulations to all involved in this magnificent book project. Nakakatuwa!
Sige, magpapabili ako ng copies for our barrio. They sooo love Trillanes and Magdalos there.
This is great ! Galing ! I will most certainly get a copy.
Sino ang magluluto at kakain? Mahirap na tayo ang magsaing tapos iba ang kumain. Kumusta kayo lahat? Alam niyo ba kung sino ang pinakamalaking surot ng bansa ngayon? Sino pa kundi ang Impakta na kasalukuyan naninirahan sa Palasyo na hindi kanya. Kinagat niya ang buong bayan kaya’t kating-kati na silang patayin ang surot. Hanggang buhay ang surot, patuloy na kakagat iyan. Kahit anong gamot na pampatay ay hindi kaya.
Ang kailangan ay tapakan at idiin hanggan mapisa tapos itapon sa basura.
Magdalo’s Cookbook: What are the recipes for genuine revolution? Pulutan’s bookcover looks like San Migs Pale Pilsen export brand. Well, it’s originally titled “Drunkards’ Delight.” I like Ilocandia’s kilawen bartekero-Imbaligtad. Naimas!
Ellen,
Ang babata rin pala nitong sina Ensigns Cruz at Rosales, at mukhang matatapang.
Big loser talaga itong si Gluerilla para hindi pagsilbihin sa bansa ang mga sundalong ito.
Sinabi mo pa, Chi. Kasi hindi naman siya nagnasang umupo sa Malacanang para magsilbi sa bayan kundi ang bayan ang gusto niyang magsilbi sa kaniya. Inaangkin na nga lahat e.
Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, ang ranggong “ensign” ay sa Navy. Iyan yata ang katumbas ng tenyente sa Army. Pero hindi kaya madaling mag-resign ang ensign? Sigaw ng Commanding Officer:
“Ensign, you resign !”
Dapat matikman din ni Sen. Kiko ang luto ng magdalo baka sakaling bumait na siya kay Adel. Grabe kasi yun interview (two days ago) sa kanya ang babaw ng reason niya kung bakit ayaw niya kay Adel sa Blue Ribbon. According to him, ayaw niya daw magamit yun position sa political ambition ni Adel. Grabe naman Sen.Kiko three years pa ang eleksyon at wala pa naman sinasabi si Atty Adel kung tatakbo siya sa eleksyon.
Dalawa lang ang nakikita ko na dahilan:
1. Insecure
2. Siguro minsan nag dinner sila ni Sharon then accidentally
nasabi ni Sharon: “Adel” pakikuha naman yun water (oops!! sabay hawak ng kamay sa bibig at alis si sharon)…kaya siguro galit na galit si Kiko kay Adel ( Joke lang po!)
Kaya please share this cookbook to Sen. Kiko baka sa sarap ng pulutan eh mabago ang ihip ng hangin.
Ang tanong: Sino ang magluluto?- sino pa kundi ang mga taumbayan na maypagmamahal sa bayan.
Sana makabili din ako nung book para pag-uwi ko..pupunta ko talaga dun sa mga marine at ipapabasa ko sa kanila yan..para mabuhayan sila ng loob makita nila na kahit nakakulong ang ibang kasamahan sa uniporme eh may kabuluhan para magmotivate sa kanila! Goodluck sa mga sundalo! Parang chicken soup ah…..!
Kung merong sasabihin sa topic ay deretso lang. Kasi ay nakakasawa na ang puro lihis sa isyu.
Chi,
Kapareho mo ng timezone ang pesteng ito. As per my source, the Pidal lobby/publicity stunt group operates from the US, the Philippines (particularly Manila and Cebu) and Sydney, Australia. Iyong operator sa Bay Area, however, biglang tumahimik, kabalen ni unano na taga Batangas!!!
Pag natanggal si unano, punta talaga tayo sa Pilipinas. By then, siguro nakalabas na ang mga Magdalo kaya we can really celebrate with them. Siguro naman puedeng i-request na magluto sila ng pulutan na nakalagay sa cookbook nila. Sarap!
Please, concentrate on issues. I will delete all comments all distracting comments. Tigil na, please lang.
Ignore bloggers whom you don’t like.
Books will be available at the National Book Store next week, after the Book Fair.
Those who are out of the country, try http://www.anvilpublishing.com or http://www.nationalbookstore.com
Pulutan sells for P125.00
Thanks, Ellen, will order now. Magandang pangregalo sa mga kaibigan!
It just shows that the Magdalos are hindi ‘sundalong kanin’. Mga matatalino at matatapang! Hindi katulad ng mga corrupt na opisyal tulad ni Esperon, Palparan atbp na walang ginawa kundi ‘magluto at mag-imbento’ ng mga kaso laban sa mga magigiting na sundalo!
Yup, Luzviminda, hindi sila “sundalong kanin!” Sila ang ulam! Joke only! 😉
Come to think of it. All these talks of destabilization attempts by the PNP under order by the unano and her general (Assperon) are a reflection of their incompetence, etc. Why can they not see that? Bobo talaga!
Sa Bicol naman daw nagre-recruit ng destabilizers! (www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20070831hed3.html)
Susmaryosep! Puede ba nakakasawa na! Kumain na lang sila ng pulutan, courtesy of the Magdalos in detention!
Magtatayo tayo ng Restaurant, ang theme: Magdalo-inspired, hiramin natin yung logo. Ang mga waiter, bastardized camouflage ang uniform naka-nametag ng mga nakulong. Ang pangalan ng dishes, may kinalaman kina Trillanes, Oakwood, judges sa hearings, etc.
Magandang itayo sa The Fort, saan pa! Ang name ng reto: Mutiny at the Fort.
Ipapahiram ko pa yung mga sarili kong menu:
Entreé item samples:
LIVER a la Gloria **Savor the flavor of fresh beef liver marinated in Gloria’s favorite cognac; grilled and topped with BASILAN, er, basil and cheesemelt with lemon squeeze, served with Sundalong Kanin – piping hot spicy rice topped with G.I. sardines or corned beef. Authentic battle-supply Skyflakes crackers with jumping shrimp salad and buillion soup for starters; guaranteed to keep you YAKKING and YAKKING all night long.
Dessert:
Gambala-Maestrecampo Flipflops **Finest dessert pancakes in different flavors with cheese and syrup. Crushed nuts (not General Cimatu’s – he has none) optional. Try it, it will make you turn!
Or try our very own Oakwood Boodle Special **Private squad- or platoon-sized smorgasbord in our Basilan, Sulu or Tawi-tawi warrooms, the standing-only, barehand lunch or dinner buffet with menu selectable a la carte, served dishless on banana leaves set against authentic jungle warfare background, live bullets optional. Here we don’t usually say grace before meals, instead the usual shout: “Fight, boodle fight!”
Slip of The TonGuE: “Ang name ng resto: Mutiny at the Fort.”
Tongue,
May recipe ka ba ni Asspweron, o baka pang dessert lang s’ya?
Tongue,
Sana huwag sumakit ang tiyan ko…sa katatawa! Walastik ang menu mo. Bilib na ako!
Tongue,
Sana huwag sumakit ang tiyan ko…sa katatawa! Walastik ang menu mo. Bilib na ako! (Hirap na naman pumasok dito!)
ako din eh, ilang try na pagpasok dito sa resto na bagong bukas..gusto ko matikman yung mga bagong putahe na handa ni chef TT….as in “chef tasty-tounge”….pede bang mag-rekwes wala yata sa menu nung wahab boneless M203 in spicy bloody sauce
oopps… di po pala “boneless” headless!
Wow. Great idea, whoever conceived of this book deserves a reward:-) Got to run to the bookstore to get a copy.
For Wine and Beverage, meron na bang, “Bloody Gloria”?
Meron ba tayong recipe na pang IpDye?
TO ALL
I know this to be out of place. Please bear with me. I just want to create awareness by choosing the busy forum or the latest.
Do consider Dr. Martin Bautista for the next elections obviously (a senatorial candidate of ‘Ang Kapatiran’ together with Adrian Sison and Zosimo Paredes). He’s a 44-year-old gastroenterologist in the US who came home after 17 years. You can see from his background that he truly means service. For those who find him to be a hypocrite for working abroad, do understand he’s a family man who needs to sustain his family, that he will be able to keep his independence by not relying on public funds to support his family. He helps his countrymen in his capacity but it’s just not enough for there are millions of Filipinos. It’s a good start in Philippine Politics to have him and his party around.
I urge you to forward/text/inform all your contacts about them. I believe they only lack exposure that’s why I’m doing this. But I can’t do it alone so I’m appealing to everyone’s help. If all will inform their contacts about them and urge them as well to forward, we might hit a million.
We cannot afford to be indifferent now if we want meaningful change. Otherwise we only have ourselves to blame. BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
kayo talaga, oo!
bakit ba lagi ninyong pinag-iinitan si gloria? lahat naman ay ginagawa niya upang maiayos ang bansa, di ba? hindi nga lamang malaman kung bakit ang daming kontra sa kanyang mga programa gayong subsob ulo na nga ‘yung tao at halos wala ng tulog at pahinga sa pag-iisip kung paano matutugunan ang karaingan ng mga maralitang kanyang pinangakuan ng pagbabago at maiahon sila sa paghihikahos.
tapat siya sa kanyang mga sinasabi at naniniwala akong hindi niya hangad na magkaganito ang ating bansa, watak watak. sino ba namang pangulo ang hindi naghangad na maiangat at pamumuhay ng kanyang mga kababayan? sino bang pangulo ang matitiis na mangibayong dagat ang alam niyang matatalino at masisipag na manggagawa? ang mapalungi ang kababaihang dapat ay nasa kanilang mga tahanan at kumakalinga sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay? masakit sa kanyang kalooban ang ituring na mga busabos ang kanyang mahal na mga kababayan lalo’t ang pagkutya ay galing sa mga taga ibang bansa.
hindi niya ninais na ipadukot, pahirapan at ipapatay ang mga inaakala niyang balakid sa kanyang pamamahala partikular yaong mga kritikong walang habas ang pagbatikos sa kanyang pamunuan.
hindi rin niya ginusto na nariyan sa kulungan ang mga magdalo at ang matataas na opisyal tulad nina gen miranda at lim, mga valor awardees na sina col querubin at parcon gayundin ang iba pang kasama. hindi rin niya sinadya na lalong magkagulo sa basilan at sulu dahil nagdurugo ang kanyang puso sa paglalabanlaban ng magkakapatid na pilipino, muslim at kristiyano.
nahihirapan ang kanyang kalooban sa mga kaganapang ito mula ng siya ay mapaluklok sa puwesto. gusto niyang pagsilbihan ng buong katapatan ang sambayanang pilipino KUNG HINDI NGA LAMANG NANGINGIBABAW ANG PAGKAUHAW NIYA SA KAPANGYARIHAN AT PAGIGING GANID SA SALAPI GAYUNDIN ANG TAKOT NA KAPAG HINDI NIYA IBINIGAY ANG MGA KAGUSTUHAN NG KANYANG KINASANGKAPAN SA SAPILITANG PAG-UPO SA MALAKANYANG AY SIYA ANG PAGBALINGAN NG KANYANG PINAGKAKAUTANGAN NG LOOB!
kaya tulungan natin siyang tapusin na ang kanyang kalbaryo. bigtihin na natin at tadtarin ng pinong pino!
gloria, SALOT sa bayan, lumayas ka na d’yan! tsupiiiiii!
one reason why these youg officers came up with that recipe book is their desire to be sane. their innerselves keep on pounding their heads to go on and not succumb to bait esPWEron and his ilk offer for them to turn their backs from the cause they stood up for in july 2003.
i salute these brave young and patriotic officers.
huwag kayong susuko. kayo ang sinasabi ni gat jose rizal, ang pag-asa ng bayan!
mabuhay kayo!
“one reason why these YOUNG officers came up with that recipe……”
inaaaaannngggg!!
Ka Magno,
Para sa akin ang ibitin si Blinky Tiyanak sa puno ng duhat at hayaan na kagatin siya ng mga hantik ay sapat ng kaparuhan sa kanyang mga kasalanan sa taong bayan.
Huwag mo ng tadtarin ng pinung-pino dahil baka maisama pa sa Cookbook ng Magdalo bilang “sisig ng Tiyanak”.
Hahahahahah! My dog is surprised once more – tawa ako ng tawa dito sa post ni Emil.
Yuko,
Baka di mag-click iyang proposed cocktail mo “Bloody Gloria” – heh!
But am sure her clones and supporters will love it!
Ano kaya ang recipe? 1 shot of bourbon, 2 shots of the cheapest (not vintage) lambanog, add a shot of soya milk and a spoonfull of coconut milk and to make sure it looks bloody, mix a spoon of tomato paste, add a bit of salt and pepper plus crunched siling labuyo then pour pepsi; add crunched ice and stir (not shaken), decorate it with a little red pamaypay sporting Gloria’s face on the pamaypay!
Presto! Bloody Gloria…
Beeeeeurk!
(Sana mag-agree si baboy damo na asawa niya na gawing guinea pig taster ng ‘Bloody Gloria’ at pag hinimatay siya after drinking it, ayan, talagang Bloody Gloria!)
Welcome back, Anna, hope you & your family enjoyed the Asian trip.
Hi Emil – thanks loads! We enjoyed our Asian trip immensely; can’t wait to get back.
But must confess something I clearly didn’t enjoy seeing Middle Eastern women by the hundreds roaming some of the places we visited wearing their black burkhas pushing their way into elevators with not even a pip to mean ‘sorry’. T’was more often than not a horrid sight coz I find this whole burkha for the women while men wore beach clothing particularly hypocritical; coz of the heat, some women jumped into the swimming pool garbed fully in burkha and wouldn’t take a no from swimming pool attendants.
I witnessed an incident when the husband of one (I think he was) had a screaming match with the swimming pool attendant and was clearly on the verge of hitting the poor attendant if cooler heads had not prevailed – the male Middle Easterner was screaming in Arabic while the hotel employee was trying to say it was forbidden for any fully clad or dressed person to jump into the pool in Bahasa, question of hygiene.
Everyone I talked to from chamber maids, taxi drivers, waiters, massage thereapists, tourist guides, etc. had nothing good to say about tourists from the Middle East. They were so disliked for being abbrassive and pompous yet stingy in the extreme.
I reminded one hotel employee that in exchange for some of the unpleasantries, these Middle Eastern tourists pour in 8 billion ringgits or a lot more than 2 billion US dollars yearly!
Out of topic:
It seems gloria’s bad influence knows no bounds. Quentin Tarantino, the American movie director and actor was recently a “guest” of Gloria in Malacanang. In their brief encounter, maybe the former was deeply impressed or I would say influenced by the latter’s trashing of rules and terrorizing power that on his flight back to the US, he terrorized one of the flight attendants.
The news item reported that he made one of the flight stewardess cry by refusing to sit on his first class assigned seat and insisted on sitting on the seat of the flight stewardess or on the floor. Maybe he wants to do a-gloria who sits on a seat that doesn’t belong to her.
How can families of slain soldiers forget Erap? Inggit na naman si blinky tianak!
***
Estrada group gives P1M to kin of slain Army men
LUCENA CITY, Philippines -– The families of two Army soldiers killed last week in Sorsogon province wept in gratitude as they received P1 million in financial assistance from former President Joseph Estrada’s Saludo sa Kawal Pilipino Foundation (SKPF or Salute to the Filipino Soldier) in a ceremony here Friday.
Almira, Aurellana’s common-law wife, received P500,000 while Raymunda got P300,000. Badagua’s mother, Proserfina also received P200,000. http://www.inquirer.net
Florry,
Gloria just firmed up Tarantino’s lust for blood! Pareho sila na mahilig sa dugo!
Emil: Gusto ko yong idea mo. Doon sa amin sa Nogas Island, Anini-y, Antique, mayroon isang puno ng duhat..century old, so huge that it will take around 10 men to join their hands to get around it. At marami din hantik sa amin..kaya nga noong itanong ng 10 datus na galing sa Borneo..ang lugar..nagkataon na itinuro yong hantik..kaya Hamtik, or Antique. Kaya part of history ang hantik sa amin..sigue doon natin siya isampay (bitay in our dialect is sampay)..paliguan ng “honey” or yong molasses..may sugar mills pa sa amin..para utay-utay siyang kagatin.
Rose,
At habang si blinky tianak ay inuutay-utay na kinakagat ng mga hamtik ay hayaan natin na manood ang halos kalahati sa population na naghihirap at hindi halos kumakain na mamamayan na hindi nabibiyayaan ng kanyang incredible 7.5% GDP second quarter economic boom DAW!
Sa kayabangan ni Gloria ay pumalag tuloy si FVR, ang number 1 tagapagtanggol ng babeng sinungaling.
Samantalang ang magigiting na Magdalo ay nagluluto sa selda para mapanatili ang katinuan, si Gloria ay nagluluto rin. Nagluluto ng kanyang sariling ekonomiya na panluko sa mga handang magpaluko!
Anna – The main reason these Middle Eastern “tourists” are welcome to these countries and tolerate their uncivilized behavior is the money being spent during their Asian tours. Malaysia is known for fabrics and the Middle Eastern women love to spend on clothing materials. Most of these women are extremely rude and impolite.
Rose – Sayang pa ang honey o molasses na ipapahid sa katawan ni Blinky Tiyanak. Mas pakikinabangan pa iyan ng mga kabayo ng mga kutserong kumakayod maghapon upang maitaguyod ang kani-kanilang kabuhayan.
Chi – 7.5% GDP! Talagang reyna ng pandaraya itong si Blinky Tiyanak, eh. Sa kanyang Enchanted Kingdom ay mapapaniwala niya ang kanyang mga alipores sa ganyang statistics. Hindi sa mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas na isang kahig, isang tuka!
Ilusyon lang ni Gloria itong lumalagong 7.5% GDP. Doctored data at palpak na formula ang karaniwang ginagamit para sa papel magandang tingnan. Ano pa kundi pekeng GDP galing sa pekeng pangulo.
DKG: Ilusyon lang ni Gloria itong lumalagong 7.5% GDP. Doctored data at palpak na formula ang karaniwang ginagamit para sa papel magandang tingnan.

One of these days the Philippines will be the butt of all nations again as when the word “Filipina” was included in the new Oxford English Dictionary to mean “domestic helper” with Gloria’s hocus-pocus economic progress. Hindi pa lang nakakahalata (o halata na hindi pa lang pumipiyak for it needs to be confirmed yet?) re the stronger peso vs the dollar. Ang laki ng effect ng ganyan pandaraya tantamount to black marketing to world economy as a matter of fact.
Imagine claiming economic progress when the Philippines cannot even produce food for its own people, etc. and the only export it has presently are Filipinos! Kailan ba naging progressive industry ang pagbubugaw ng tao?
“Imagine claiming economic progress when the Philippines cannot even produce food for its own people”
Gloria’s economic cookbook is filled with fantasy. Gloria Arroyo and her economic managers have the gal to tell the whole world that the agriculture sector is booming. Why they are importing agro products? In reality, the country cannot feed its own people. The Philippines is one of the biggest rice importers in Asia The country has imported 1.6 million tones of rice, corn, sugar, soya beans, poultry and meat. The usual government’s alibis for not meeting production goal blame the weather-drought, floods and typhoons. Makain ba ang fantasya?
DKG/Yuko,
Kapag ganyan na nagpapalabas ng mga hin di kapani-paniwalang statistics ang administration ni Blinky Tiyanak ay sigurado na naman na mayroon iyan tinatarget na pangungutang.
Kaya ang pobreng Juan at Juana dela Cruz ang maghihirap na magbayad kahit na hindi pa nila nakikita ang sinasabing pagbuti ng ekonomiya.
Also, there are 300 thousand to half a million Filipino mail- order brides leaving Pinas every year, Villar said. (Gabriela figure was used).
This is another disastrous recipe for pinoys, but in Gloria’s cookbook it is sooo gooooood! Dako pera padala para sa sustena sa kanyang imagined economic boom! Boom tarat tarat boom boom!
Sa bilyunes ba naman na lumabas ng panahon ng eleksyon, e di lumago nga ang kanyang ekonomiya sa 2nd quarter! But pa ay mag-snap eleksyon s’ya ngayon para ang 3rd quarter GDP growth ay mas lumaki pa!
Ka Diego,
Meron kumakain ng fantasya…si Gloria.
I got it! hahhahaha
You bet, Emil. Binibilang na naman niya siguro ang mauutang niya sa Japan, etc. countries she planned at the last quarter of the year. I have already mentioned the planned Japan tour that we suspect will be for asking Japan to replenish the Philippine coffers that has been depleted with funds these past few months because of the paybacks to those who helped her get votes for her losing team.
What Filipinos, however, should bear in mind is that the Philippines is deep in “utang,” and the remittances of the OFWs are not enough to pay back Philippine debtors.
It is no secret in fact that the doctor of Economics (daw) has been trying hard to impress foreign creditors by paying them first when the bills come, and her publicity manager making most of the occasion by presenting unsuspecting creditors and even the public with tampered data and statistics.
For how long can she continue to deceive everyone, only the Filipinos in fact can tell. All they have to do is have the guts to demand for better services from their public servants, which the unano, congressmen, senators, et al are and should be, and if they don’t, the should demand for their removal. Pronto! Ganoon lang naman iyon sa totoo lang.

What happened, bakit doble. Please delete na lang the first one.
Yuko,
Hindi Doctorate in Economics, Doctoring Economic Figures.
Yup, sinabi mo pa. Tongue. Sino ba ang nagbigay ng doctorate diyan na gunggong din? Hindi nga iyan tinanggap ni Cinco kaya napunta sa then nameless Georgetown U. Yawa man gid!
Off topic, but I just saw the pictures of the military drills in anticipation of the Malacanang fabricated rumor no doubt that there will be a big riot when the Sandigangbayan convicts Erap ala-Joey Marquez, who was convicted for tricking the government to pay 15 pesos each for the 11-peso walis tingtings acquired during his tenure (?) as mayor of Paranaque. Tindi rin ano?
Bobo rin ano? Don’t the idiot realize that by mobilizing the whole AFP and PNP, they are admitting that Erap is that popular that majority of Filipinos would die for him enough for the usurper to try to save her butt, and that she indeed was not elected to the position that she has usurped and stolen, and the Filipinos want her out even at the peril of their lives!
Sinusurot ng budhi ba? No, just plain and simple paranoia, no doubt! Puede ipasok na ang mga siraulong iyan sa mental hospital? Kung ang akala nila matatakot nila ang mga pilipino with the show of those apa ammunition, manigas sila! Sabi nga, “Kapag umaapaw, kinakalos!”
Off Topic: Just read Dolorfino’s( the new Marine Commandant) message to the detained Marine Officers. He said “come home” ,to where? He also said to leave the elected representatives in changing the system. That is if these elected officials are legitimately elected. He continued to say that the marines sould be apolitical. Heh,heh,heh…is he kidding or what? These marines were widely used in cheating for the tiyanak and worse, all the AFP high ranking officials were used in the cheating operations. Now these tiyanak officials want to come clean? Come on, be real! No wonder the “tell that to the marines” phrase is so much in vougue these days!
Another off topic: Nanginginig daw ang tuhod ni Gunggongzales so he is taking a month off. I do not like to make fun of him now that he is really “very” sick but it is about time he stops raping our system! God has His ways of stopping the evil! If the tiyanak can’t stop her appointed henchmen( for reasons she only knows-these men know too much of her ill doings) God does it for her. This is what most of us were praying for. Let us continue to pray.
PSB:
This is what most of us were praying for. Let us continue to pray.
Are we going to pray for Gonzales speedy recovery or continue to pray for his misery?
For me,I will hang-out in Tongue Resto and order his especial walastik and beer.Don’t try Tongue’s coffee ‘coz it’s a brewed soldier’s socks from Basilan.Hehehehe!
Hanep na Dolorfino! “Come home where?” To Gloria, where else. He just admitted that his fake commander-in-chief is isolated from “her” soldiers!
If Gloria cared for the soldiers, she would have let the Makati court ruled on merits the Trillanes appeal to let him work for the sakes of the people and “her” soldiers, and order the unconditional release of the “men of honor”.
The soldiers are battling Gloria’s phantom enemies. Meron pa bang mas higit na nakakaawa sa kondisyong iyan?!
PSB n’ Cocoy,
I don’t want him dead, I want his illness eats his evil brain and body little by little and each night suffers nightmares of his sins against the country and pinoys. That’s hell of a living dead!
Diego;“Imagine claiming economic progress when the Philippines cannot even produce food for its own people”
The reality is; Her inexcellency love her people, she doesn’t want them to till the soil and even plant camote. That is not her economic policy, she want all the able bodied to leave the country and seek employment anywhere in the globe. She valued the dollar more than the picture of Ninoy in the Philippine currency. In fact; even those WWII veterans she doesn’t want them to come home and die in their native land which they deliriously fought against the troops of The Tiger of Malaya.
She is different from Quezon who was too nationalistic, she is sadistic and she loves to see our super maids being raped, abused and mistreated. She encouraged them to filed a complaints against their employer so that her consul can have contingency on the settlement and she has a percentage more than the victims.
It is unwise for her to let the people till the soil, Garci’s niece at SBMA could not have a tong collection from the double dead meat and vegetables in a hundred containers coming in. If she let the people to till, those OFW’s remittance will be a savings,and the prices of food commodities is cheap and sometimes it is free, none of the dependent will spent some cash on pound by pound basis. Do you have any idea how many tons of food will perish if there is no buyers? Hehehehe!
Chi;
You want him to be dependent on Morphine instead of Vicodine,he’ll be a drug addict and in the process of getting the Devil’s fork tattoo on his bare chest and pierce his left and right ears for a diamond earrings.Hehehehe!
Chi,
Tama ka, Parehong mahilig sa dugo. The only difference Tarantino does it in his films for entertainment, while gloria does it in real life at marami na siyang biktima.
I too, will pray for siraulo for God to allow him to rest..
in peace..hirap na hirap na ang mga tao, hirap na hirap na rin siya seguro..I firmly believe that God in all His mercy and love will give us the time to say “sorry” for all our sins..either marami siyang kasalanan na kailangan niya ang mahabang panahon na pagsisisihan…or talagang ayaw niya magsorry..ano kaya?
Tongue: mukhang malasa yong Liver ala Gloria..paki marinate ng husto sa cognac and grill it well in a fire like that in hell.. cremated..kasi pihado ko toxic ang liver niya..
Sinong may sabi sa inyo hindi pa drug addict iyong siraulo kahit na sabihin pang may prescription ng doctor? Kaya nga pirming nagha-hallucinate. Hopefully, pag namatay iyan no one in his right frame of mind will erect a monument for this guy even in his home province.
“Huwag mo ng tadtarin ng pinung-pino dahil baka maisama pa sa Cookbook ng Magdalo bilang “sisig ng Tiyanak”.”
ka emil,
eh, hindi na sisig ‘yun kundi parang giniling na rin. saka hindi maisasama sa cookbook ng magdalo dahil ipapakain na ‘yung tinadtad na buto’t laman ni gloria sa pakain ng piranha.
pero, kawawa ang piranhang makakakain ng lamang ni gloria, baka amoy palang lutang na kaagad sa tubig at patay dahil sa mala-asupreng sangsang ng amoy at bagsik ng lason!
saksakan ng lang ng pormalin ‘yang si raulong gagonggonzalez na ‘yan.
aba’y perang galing sa kaban ang ginagastos sa pagpapagamot sa utak amag na walang silbi.
i-donate na lamang sa mga displaced victims sa jolo ang perang para sa gamot ng inutil na kalihim ng kawalang hustisya.
“…..dahil ISASAMA na ‘yung tinadtad na buto’t laman ni gloria sa pakain ng piranha.”
I just made inquiries for ordering the cookbook from Anvi and/or National Book Store. I am presently waiting for the answer and confirmation of my order since the book is not stil online as it seems.
Will post here their reply when I receive one so that it will be easier for those interested to order for the “Pulutan!” online.
Emil:
Hindi ba pareho noong sisig iyong bopis na ulam? Kung magkaiba, anong difference?
Yes, the book is not yet online because it just came out last Wednesday.
We are glad it was able to make it to the Manila International Book Fair. All the copies printed so far are at the book fair.
We are also happy that it is selling well.
After the book fair, the book will be available at the National Book Store and Power Books.

ako! ipapagawa ko siya ng rebulto bilang pag-alala sa lahat ng kanyang kapalpakan. rebultong araw araw ay babatuhin namin ng TAE!
Ellen,
Have just asked my sis in Manila to procure a copy for me. Wala akong Pinoy cook book so good thing to have one now.
Thanks, Anna. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for it to be available at the National Book Store.
Rose,
I believe that God gives us all the time we need to say sorry for our sins. Pero gagawin kaya iyan ng tapat ng mga tulad ni Gunggong who think of themselves as gods with small g!
Mrivera,
Malaki ang puntos mo, Hala ipormalin na lang kaagad ang utak ni Gunggong.
“Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen” will sure become a bestseller for a long long time! Best gift for the commander-in-thief gluerilla and Ass!
chi, tama ka. let this cookbook be the passport of the glued and the ass to their journey to mental asylum where they can continue implementing their crazy greed.
hanggang sa kulungan ng mga baliw, magkasama sila at naglalambingan.
tuwang tuwa siguro ang baboy dahil masosolo na niya ang kanyang paboriTOHng alagang kulasisi. ang hindi niya alam, yari narin ang kural na paglalagakan sa kanya sa piling ng mga bayaran niyang buwaya!

hew he he heeeh.
takot talagang mawala sa puwesto ang hangal. ang lakas ng loob pa, eh tumatae’t umiihi na sa higaan.
sige, mangarap ka pa! dulo mo niyan, matigok ka ng mulagat ang mata at bumubula ang bibig sa sobrang kawalanghiyaan mong pinaggagawa!
I hope “Pulutan” will be available at the National Book Store by the second week of this month. My brother is on a Philippine holiday and I asked him to buy even just 3 copies. One for me and and the other two for birthday gifts to my friends who are celebrating at the end of this month.
Mrivera: wala naman segurong sira ulo sa Iloilo who will have a monument erected for him. Unless yong senadora na taga roon din, o kaya ang mga anak niya..pero huwag naman sa public place like a plaza..etc. doon nalang sa poultry at piggery farm nila..
Rose, baka pati yung mga manok at baboy ay magtakbuhan kapag nakita nila ang monumento ni gonggongzales. Heh,heh,heh…
Chi: pumalag na si FVR? Tahimik kasi sa laki ng tabaco at pinupuno ng abu ang Maynila. Sa bilis, ang unang basa ko ay kalag na si FVR. Binalikan ko pumalag lang pala. Kasi sa amin kalag means ghosts or skeletons..kaya we refer to Halloween as kalag-kalag. Sayang hindi totoo ang unang basa ko.
Tama- GMA and her party should be in a mental asylum..at doon puede niyang sabihin..I am the president. I could be as strong as I want. I have a country to run..and marami ang papalakpak..
Rose: doon nalang sa poultry at piggery farm nila..
******
Yup, para libre na ng ipot ng mga poultry at baboy nila para hindi na mahirapan si Magnong mag-ipon ng teklang ibabato sa rebulto noong siraulo!
Kung ako naman ang mga kamag-anak niyang mahihiya ako at patatahimikin ko na. Better, humingi na sila ng mercy killing para mawala na ang sakit na ulo nila.
Hi.
Read the Inquirer earlier and saw the news about the book. Sana by the time I drop by in a bookstore andun na siya. Im really looking forward to read it.
Anvil said “Pulutan- from the soldiers’ kitchen” will be available at National Book Store and Powerbooks next week.
For those who are abroad, they suggest to ask friends who are coming here to buy for you. They said it’s expensive for them to send it by mail.
Better yet, kayo na ang mag-dealer. Get books by bulk from Anvil at a discounted price and sell them there. Contact Gwenn Galvez. E-mail:gewnn.galvez@anvilpublishing.com
Thanks, Ellen. I was thinking of buying in bulk since I am opening a store, and will include Philippine books as one of my items for sales. Will write to her although I have actually written their marketing already.
Anvil said “Pulutan- from the soldiers’ kitchen” will be available at national book stores starting Tuesday.
Yuko,
Ang bopis ay baga (lungs) ng baboy o baka at tinadtad ng pinung-pino. Ang pagluluto ay igigisa at kapag luto na ay lalagyan ng carrots, red bell pepper at paminta. Ang ibang nagluluto ay nilalagyan ng suka.
Samantalang ang sisig ay nanggaling sa leeg, liver at utak ng baboy. Tinadtad din ng pinung-pino. Kaya sa mga restaurant ay kadalasan nakalagay iyan sa ceramics dahil kapag order mo ay saka pa lamang nila lulutuin at makikita mong kumukulo sa harapan mo kapag ibinigay ng waiter.
Ginutom tuloy ako….
Salamat, Ellen.
Papatakbuhin ko na ang pamangkin ko sa national bookstore, baga mawalan pa ng kopya.
Ang feel ko ay unang bibili ng maraming kopya ang mga taga-EK!
may kasabihan na “figures don’t lie but liars can figure.”
totoo sa economic growth figures ni Gloria.
Rose,
May hinala ako na ginawa ni Teves na kainin ang kanyang unang comments dahil ayaw niyang ma-Neri. Remember, si Romy Neri ng Neda? He was transferred to Ched even if not qualified because he questioned that broadband project.
Sabi siguro ni Teves, ito na lang ang pinakamataas kong mararating kaya kapit-tuko siya sa pwesto, tutal ay lahat naman sila sinungaling. Hawa-hawa sila sa tungaw.
