On the eve of the Sandiganbayan verdict on the plunder and perjury case against former President Estrada, here are some of the thoughts being shared around by text or email:
From a friend close to the Estrada family: “Be daring in your prayers. God still works miracles.”
Akbayan issued a statement that whatever the verdict is, it’s tainted due to the interference of Malacañang in a process that should remain credible and beyond reproach.
“Akbayan is not at all disposed to view the Sandiganbayan decision as the means to provide closure to a case that has clearly divided the nation. The decision would be tainted, crippled as it is by the GMA administration’s self-interests,” Akbayan Rep. Rissa Hontiveros said.
“The Sandiganbayan trial has long ceased to be a case determining Estrada’s accountability and has become about GMA’s political survival. “The vulnerabilities of the GMA administration have determined the conduct of administration relative to the case, thus tainting the credibility of the ruling.”
Hontiveros said that the administration’s interventions, from the paid advertisements on national stability a few days ago to reported attempts by Malacañang to negotiate with Estrada, have contaminated the integrity of the trial in a manner that prevents the public from accepting the decision.
Hontiveros said Akbayan hopes that should the Sandiganbayan rule in favor of conviction, it would be elevated to the Supreme Court. “The Supreme Court has proven itself to be more trustworthy that any other judicial institution. We pray that the decision would be appealed before the High Court. We hope that this would lead to an acceptable closure to the case.”
There is also the informative paper “The Erap Case: a lawyer’s perspective.”
Here are the pertinent portions:
“On Page 61 of the Plaintiff’s Memorandum, the People say that sometime in the year 2000, “Estrada decided and informed Gov. Singson that they will transfer the illegal numbers game jueteng into ‘Bingo 2 Balls’ to be managed by … Atong Ang.”
This occurred, according to Chavit, around August 2000. Chavit said that he was called by Atong Ang and informed that one-half of the “Bingo 2 Balls” franchise in Ilocos Sur was given to Chavit’s brother. Chavit wanted the whole Ilocos Sur franchise to be given to him, but apparently his request could not be accommodated because Estrada had made the decision.
Chavit then discovered that one-half of the franchise had been given to his political rival, Eric Singson. He later talked to Estrada to try and reverse the decision as it would cause Chavit political humiliation. It was at this point that Chavit was disgusted by Estrada’s “insincerity.” Chavit felt that Estrada was “fooling him and giving him a run-around.” Chavit thus apparently told Estrada: “Kung dahil lang dyan, pagkatapos ng lahat bibitawan mo ako, bibitaw na rin ako sa iyo.”
“This fateful conversation took place on September 14, 2000.
“Immediately, Chavit had his lawyer draw up his affidavit, instructed Yolanda Ricafort to fax to him copies of the ledgers and, subsequently, talked to various people for them to persuade Estrada to change his decision with respect to the “Bingo 2 Balls” franchise in Ilocos Sur.
“Chavit talked to Jinggoy (also accused), JV Ejercito, Ronaldo Zamora (then Estrada’s executive secretary), Edgardo Angara (then Estrada’s agriculture secretary, then executive secretary), and Mark Jimenez .
“Then, as stated in Estrada’s memorandum : ‘The grizzled northern Luzon warlord … made the allegations of illegal gambling payoffs and other acts of corruption in an exposé on October 4, 2000 (the People say the expose was made on October 9, 2000) following a supposed attempt on his life.’
“After this alleged slay attempt came out in public, “the group of … Estrada became frantic and began calling Gov. Singson asking for ‘arreglo’ or settlement.” JV Ejercito, Estrada himself, Atong Ang, Alfredo Lim (now mayor of Manila), and Jinggoy all tried to plead with Chavit. Apparently in fear of his life, Chavit went to see Cardinal Jaime Sin and left his evidence with him. When asked in court why he decided to expose Estrada, Chavit said: “Dalawang bagay po, … nong ginamit, insultuhin at pinapatay hindi na tunay na kaibigan ito; … ang pangalawa, ngayong may ebidensiya na, kung hindi ko itutuloy, ganuon din, papatayin din nila ako, ‘kako mas maganda na ang mamatay ng may mukha kaysa mamatay na walang mukha…
“Chavit apparently collected P542,541,000.00 in jueteng protection money for Estrada.
“The message to us lesser folk is clear: When you decide to divide the spoils, you better ensure that everybody is happy. Just one dissatisfied character can cause trouble, in this case, the fall of the most popular president in the annals of Philippine history.”

Big headache for Abalos in the ZTE broadband heist – the Chinese must have paid him some solid cash upfront (passed on some if not most to the devil couple in the Palace perhaps) and if the contract is rescinded, he will be a candidate for a slot in the Chinese torture chamber (kikilitin siya sa paa until someone from his entourage gives them the money back.)
Chavit said “‘kako mas maganda na ang mamatay ng may mukha kaysa mamatay na walang mukha…”
Ano namang klaseng mukha meron siya ngayon? Mukha ng kriminal. (Talk of sense of indecency, Chavit tops ’em all!)
As far as the integrity of the Sandigangbayan is concerned, Hontiverros is being very diplomatic when she says that the institution’s integrity is tainted – to me the institution HAS NO MORE integrity!
“to me the institution HAS NO MORE integrity!”
If so, it’s not even an institution anymore.
“Institutions are structures and mechanisms of social order and cooperation governing the behavior of two or more individuals. Institutions are identified with a social purpose and permanence, transcending individual human lives and intentions, and with the making and enforcing of rules governing cooperative human behavior.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institution
papatayin din nila ako, ‘kako mas maganda na ang mamatay ng may mukha kaysa mamatay na walang mukha.–Itong si Chavit talaga,oh!Magkakaroon ka talaga ng mukha kapag mamatay ka dahil reretokihin ng mga imbalsamador.Mas nahihirapan silang ayusin ang iyong mukha kung buhay ka dahil kuadrado tapos ang likot mo pa!
Sa lahat ng sinabi mo ay iyon talaga ang totoo!Biruin mo,labing-isang salita at least may isang tumugma.
Hahahah! Cocoy, nadele mo na naman.

“When you decide to divide the spoils, you better ensure that everybody is happy.”
This is what Gloria is doing, but hey look…nagaaway-away pa rin ang insatiable minions ni Gloria!
politika lang ang lahat ng ito. Kung nag resign lang si Erap ng maayos at kusang binigay kay Gloria ang presidency sa tingin ko walang D-Day. Ang panalo dito si Chavit kung sakaling ma convict si Erap at lalabas na siya ang credible… bida na naman siya.
walang ibang dapat makulong kundi si Gloria–6 years sya sa nakaw na poder pero sangkatutak na katiwalian ang pinaggagawa di lamang nya kundi ng buong pamilya nya—nakawan, sinungaling at dayaan–ilan lang yan mga igan.
Ngayon sino dapat makulong? Si Erap ba o si Gloria? o si Joey?
Answer: Gloria + Mike + buong pamilya
Chi;
At least hindi siya nagsinungaling at inamin niya sa korte na pangit siya.He is under oath! mahirap naman siya kung iperjure niya ang sarili niya na guapo siya,dahil kitang-kita ang ebedensya,di ba? hehehehe!
Post Erap emotions will not die down overnight either way the verdict goes. We all thought that EDSA is the panacea to all ills that pesters the country. As in future EDSAs, EDSA will only remain a major thoroughfare where people will traverse from from end to the other only to come back to the end where they begun. EDSA should have been like a confession, the sincerity to amend ourselves for the better, reinstate the spirit of a nation that so desires for the greater good that will stand for all times. We used to call it backsliding during martial law. And yes, we have proven ourselves time and time again that we are a nation of backsliders. We all know that a “poh” stinks and smells stinks, yet we go back to it to smell the stink again and again. Are we beyond redemption? EDSA has a redeeming value only if we redeem ourselves from greed. A country who preens and takes pride of being the only Catholic or Christian in Southeast Asia cannot even clean its dirty linen and kitchen. Will the real priest stand up? Will the real leaders rise up and be counted by its people? Where have they all gone?
Did you see Malaya’s front photo? Ano ‘yan gera?! At hindi raw takooooot si Korap Queen Gloria sa D-Day!
Another contradiction:
“It’s a normal day for Mrs. Arroyo on Wednesday”
“Palace locks down for Erap verdict”
TULIRO!
Sa takot ni Glueria, ni pag-utot siguro di niya magawa! Baka tumatawag pa siya ng guardia tuwing pupunta ng kubeta!
Hehehe! Hindi pupunta sa kubeta iyan dahil may bayad.Ihi dos,isbo singko hindi niya kayang magbayad dahil puro buo ang kuarta niya.
Kung sa U.S. ay mayroong ginugunitang 9/11…
Sa Pilipinas ay mayroon ding 9/12!
Chi:
Grabe nga yun photo sa Malaya.com.ph talagang war. I don’t know siguro talagang may mga Generals pa si Erap I think it will be air live here in TFC or GMA pinoy. Sayang at may meeting ako ng 6-9PM dito (PST).
I read Sen. Santiago comments on Plunder case of Erap and well, according to her Erap will not be guilty of Plunder ang sabi niya more on “corrupt practices”. So, bakit naging plunder?
“Not guilty of plunder.
This was the “educated guess” of Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, a former judge and a constitutional law expert, on the outcome of the Estrada plunder case, which will be decided by the antigraft court Sandiganbayan on Wednesday.
“The [Sandiganbayan] will not convict [Estrada] of plunder because the charge mainly refers to private funds consisting of alleged jueteng kickbacks,” Santiago, an award-winning judge, said.
Santiago said plunder mainly refers to malversation of public funds or “raids on the public treasury.” Plunder requires abuse of government contracts or projects, any government asset, or undue advantage of government position.
The senator said the antigraft court will likely convict Estrada of the lesser crime of “corrupt practices.”
Diyan nakuha ni Raul Gonzales ang sakit niyang kidney sa Malakanyang.Pinipigilan niyang pumunta sa kubeta at umuhi kuripot kasi, dahil naconcession ni little mike ang lahat ng rest room.Kay mike business is business no exception lahat ay may bayad.Si Ispiron nga malakas manabako noong panahon ni FVR,pinupulot niya ang tira at sindihan.Ngayon nanghihingi na lang siya ng Marlboro sa kanyang kapitan.Suki ko na rin iyong magtitinapa.
Emil,
Kaya lang sa US ay hindi suspended ang mga schools, and yet 9/11 is the most significant event in the contemporary America. Observance of this unfortunate event is solemn.
Sa Pinas, 9/12 ay ginagawang school holiday ni Blinky Tianak at may parada pa ng mga armored tanks at sundalos showing to all and sundry how scared she is. Pathetic leadership of koraps and duwags!
Si Gloria, buhay pa pero nakakulong na ang kaluluwa niya sa impiyerno, kasama ang kaniyang mga alagang asong ulol sa gobyerno. Para sa akin ay matino sana siyang tao kaya lang yong kasakiman niya sa puesto ang nagpasama sa imahe niya, ipinambayad niyang lahat sa mga alipores niya ang magagandang puesto sa gobyerno, kaya kahit anong kurakot ang gawin ay tahimik lang siya. Kung may tao namang pinaka-makapal ang mukha, si Chavit na yon.
I wish the best for Erap, wala siyang kasalanan, sana ay kunsensiya ang pairalin ng Sandigan sa pagbigay ng hatol sa kaniya.
GMA and her group of evil minions pretending to be the leader and the messiah of the filipino people is one big crime syndicate, like the mafia or cosanostra or al capone during the time of prohibition. they rob the coffers of goverment,kill their enemies or people that go against them,be what their status,either they are a lawyer,priests,judge,teachers,farmers,student or even their own allies.prosecute or file trump up charges on perceive to be their enemies, while cover up of all their close associate like bolante,abalos and others to name a few.. all this blatant criminals act done with impunity, without regard for the truth,morality,justice and the fear of god. as long as corrupt justices, senators,congresmen who provide dirty schemes and the military leaders such as esperon and calderon and other corrupt generals who provide the muscles of killings and harassment of perceive enemies on their own making and using reasons as destabilizers,rebels or even branded as terrorist!!
“dear God! what have we filipinos have done to deserve GMA and her lackeys!! they are so evil!! when will all this nightmares and madness be over!!”
Jojovelas,
Sa tindi ng military presence sa D-Day ay tiyak na guilty ang verdict kay Erap. Killjoy talaga si Asspweron, wala na tuloy excitement sa verdict.
Ang laking perang ginastos sa ‘show of force’ ni Gloria, magkano kaya ang naibulsa ni Ass?!
Anna: to me the institution HAS NO MORE integrity!
*****
You said it, Anna. There are just too many cases of injustice in the Philippines that you can bet your bottom dollar that if justice triumphs in the Philippiines, the Philippine government will go bankrupt compensating the many inmates in Philippines who have been wrongfully convicted. That is, if the prisoners could have good lawyers to fight for their cause or causes.
Chi,
Gloria is hors normes as we say in French. She does things not in accordance to decent norms of leadership but in accordance to her norms, the norms of one who is morally corrupt on all levels, one who is prepared to pit the armies against the people so that she may continue to usurp power.
Yup, Anna. And I guess there’s an order to shoot if things get messy, then martial law na to justify her stay in power.
Deploying 6,000 troops to secure not Erap, not the Sandigan inJustices, but her Kakorapan! Palusot pa e!
Mga bobo, kung merong malaking asksyon ay hindi sa D-Day mismo, unless na patayin nila si Erap!
Chi:
9/12 a holiday in the Philippines? Ang arte naman. You bet, it is not a holiday in the US even when it is considered an event for all Americans and the people of the world remembered.
Over in Japan, it is just another working day even when there were a number of Japanese counted as victims then enough for the government in fact to form a special commission to assist families of the victims in finding them and return their bodies or ashes back to Japan unlike the idiot who would not even the etiquette to postpone her personal visit to Japan that she would call an official visit sans a formal invitation from the supposed country.
I remember how the unano demanded the airport to be opened for her, and then complained that she was not formally welcome when she came on 12 Sept. 2001 to Japan when the airport was closed and Japanese officials busy coordinating with Americans on how to recover bodies of Japanese casualties. There was an African official then supposed to make a state visit to Japan, but the African knew better than to proceed with his trip unlike the acting president of the Philippines who insisted that she be attended to pronto.
Ganoon katindi that she would not even know what protocol was all about nor worry about Filipinos who would have fallen victims as well in that 9/11 tragedy!
Tapos ngayon umaarte that making 9/12 a holiday even when the 9/11 tragedy happened at about 10 p.m. on September 11, 2001 (Philippine time). Puede ba pakisabi sa ungas na ito na tigilan na ang mga kabulastugan niya.
Chi,
Supporters of Erap should not be frightened by this show of force because we know they are just a bluff considering the number of military officers now getting ashamed of the kind of leadership they have and are just trying to pulse public sentiments to start a real coup.
Ngayon nila ipakita ang pagmamahal nila kay Erap. Frankly, I don’t see any plunder in his deals with Chavit Singson. It is more a blunder. Kung may kasalanan man siya, it is more bribery for him to close his eyes on the illegal activities of Chavit Singson.
You bet, Chi, 9/11 is no holiday in the US. So, why is it a holiday in the Philippines? Ang dami namang bakasyon! Papaano magkakaroon ng pera ang Pilipinas as claimed by the unano when there are more holiday than working days for Filipino workers. Tinuturuan pa ang mga pilipino na maging tamad tapos kunyari siya masipag daw!
I remember arguing with her friend before who told me that even on trips overseas, she would be in front of her computers working hard. Sabi ko naman, “Oh yeah! Hindi kaya busy blogging under fictitious names in Elleville, etc. ?”
Maghapon ako nakinig sa AM stations kahapon, iisa ang tono:
– Walang umaasang maa-acquit si Erap.
– Kahit ano’ng desisyon, delikado si Gloria
– Kahit yung mga super sipsip sa administrasyon, tahimik at hindi kayang salubungin ang nabubuong ngitngit ng masa.
Pero ang nagpatawa sa akin ay yung isang texter na nagsabing bakit 6,000 ang dami ng pulis at 2,000 ang sundalong gagamitin, “Sino ba ang hahatulan, si Bin Laden?”
Yuko,
D-Day is not a holiday in Pinas, but classes in more than 100 schools in QC were suspended due to Erap’s significant day. Kaya sabi ko ay holiday, anupa nga ba?!
Tinatakot ang mga sarili, pati ang murky Ilog pasig across EK was shown with armed soldiers in speedboats. Overkill!
“…bakit 6,000 ang dami ng pulis at 2,000 ang sundalong gagamitin, “Sino ba ang hahatulan, si Bin Laden?”
Hahahahah! Tongue, nakakatawa naman talaga ang preps nila.
Tongue,
Sinabi mo pa. Pinapa-suspense pa kuno ang verdict kay Erap e alam naman ng mga tao ang gusto niyang gawin doon sa tao. Trying hard ang ungas to see kung mahal siya ng mga tao at hindi si Erap.
Nitatakot ang mga sympathizers ni Erap para hindi sila lumabas tapos sasabihin sa media walang sinabi ang mga sympathizers ni Erap at siya pa ang gusto ng majority kahit na sa totoo lang ay sukang-suka na ang mga tao sa kaniya. Takot nga lang sila kasi mismong mga sundalong may baril na siyang dapat na mag-coup, hindi pa kumikilos. Pakiramdaman pa kasi!
From a friend close to the Estrada family: “Be daring in your prayers. God still works miracles.”
How long the Filipino people waiting for this miracles and it never come, instead disasters, havoc injustices and murders The acts of vigil, prayer, and minute silence, never solved any of Filipino problems nor brought them any divine solution down from the imaginary heaven above to ease their sufferings in the iron hands of the fake president These are brief short-lived remedies with sedating functions to calm down the wrath of the public down temporarily and helping them to forget. Nothing more! Precious time is wasted for prayer when it could be used to actually do something about so many levels in curbing injustice and corruptions to our poor. The price of freedom and justice is never-ending vigilance. Filipinos must wake up and get to work.
Time has ripen on the court decision for Erap, and if The Filipino people still love freedom, justice and being free, it’s time to act to choose side, Not Joey or Willy. But for Erap or Kurap. Are the Pinoys willing to look at the truth as they perceive it and try to identify and admit their own complicity in all these atrocities, as the thieves in Malacanang runs around the country jailing their innocent enemies and soldiers over reasons we know are lies. .Of course on another level, poor pinoy absolutely no control over what our government does. The Tongress and most elected officials from Aparri to Jolo are bought off, and they do what they want, Those who oppose are be damned.. But again, if they have any courage left, they need to stand and fight, shard of responsibility back to themselves, to some small event in our histories in which we did not stand for principle, but instead held back and let some innocuous hypocrisy pass us by unchallenged with the rationalization that (there’s nothing they could have done about it or it didn’t affect them that much)That Pinoy dictum won’t reach them nowhere. They need to unite! Stand! Fight! No other country will do battle for them, Pinoy need to fight their batlle, time has come and Erap is the way or it will be now or never!
Grabe ang panic ng mga ungas sa gagawing verdict kay Erap. Maganda nito, iyong mga pulis at sundalo, imbes na iumang sa mga tao ang mga machine gun, tangke, etc. nila, sa Malacanang nila ituon ang mga iyon. Presto, instant coup!!!
Or, gusto lang talaga ni Pandakitak na mag-declare na ng Martial Law on the same day that Marcos declared Martial Law in 1973. Hindi September din iyon?
Ngayon, nasa sa mga pilipino naman na ngayon kung gusto nila o hindi na manatili iyong kriminal sa Malacanang. Ganoon lang naman kasimple iyon. God willing, matatapos din ang paghihirap nila. Dagdagan na lang nila ang mga dasal nila.
Kundi ba naman stupid, sasabihin nilang walang sinabi si Erap. Ganoon pala, e bakit takot na takot sila sa ipapataw nila sa kaniyang parusa? Ang totoo ay sikat pa rin si Erap!
Kung kay Gloria lang naman ay di hamak na maraming natutulungan ang taong iyan kahit na nakakulong na. I know. Iyong paring kakilala ko ang isa sa mga nangangasiwa ng isang project niya. Iyong isa naman ay pinag-interesan pa ni kumag kasi may pera doon. Inagaw daw tapos ibinigay sa isang amiga niya. Ganoon kaganid ang taong ito. Manang-mana doon sa asawa.
Huwag kayong maniwalang walang kinalaman sa mga kaungasan ito iyong mamang mataba.
Cocoy,
You have good points. Hindi tatablan ng dasal si Kwin Korap dahil lucifera ‘yan. Time to unite and act kung gustong lumaya sa mga kuko ni Korap, now na or get totally clubbed by Gluerilla!
Anong akala ni Espweron at Pandakikak “terrorist” na tulad ni Bin Laden ang hahatulan bukas? Kanino nga ba takot si Pandakikak, di ba sa sarili niyang anino?
Yuko,
Tama ka diyan! Sa mga Pilipino na ngayon kung hahayaan nilang manatili yang tunay na kriminal sa Malakanyang. Wala na tayong magagawa kung sila mismo doon ay walang gagawin. Yes, agree ako na dapat yung mga weapons na hawak nila para kay Espwe at Pandak nila ituon! Tapos ang problema! Di ba, “Tumutulong ang Diyos sa mga marunong din tumulong sa kanilang sarili!” Tama ba ‘tong translation ko? God helps those who help themselves!
I predict its mistrial. Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts have committed more plunder cases than Erap in a short period of time.
Gloria Arroyo versus Joseph Estrada
*Plunder- Erap Not Guilty*
Note: Ex- Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson is guilty for bribery, plunder and perjury
People of the Philippines versus Usurper Gloria Arroyo, et al
P728 million fertilizers Scam, $683-M Marcos’ Swiss recovered wealth, $329-M ZTE-Abalos broadband scam
*Plunder- Gloria, et al guilty beyond reasonable doubt*
Note: Ex- justice secretary Nani Perez is guilty for $2-M IMPSA payoff.
They sucked billions of US dollars not in pesos. Sobrang garapal at busabos sa pera.
Is Metro Manila a war zone?
I think AFP chief General Esperon is over reacting (OA-drama). Assperon deployed 16 battle tanks, helicopter gunship, armored trucks and about 2,000 soldiers, including elite forces against ‘unarmed civilians’. Hell! He is protecting his queen Gloria Arroyo at all cost. The insecure Arroyo regime just wasted taxpayers’ money for mere show of hollow force. Who is the real enemy of the Filipino people? The patriotic soldiers of the AFP should point their barrels and turrets towards the usurper in Malacanang Palace. I firmly believe it’s the right thing to do. The combine force of 8,000 armed men with tanks, armors and gunship is not enough to save Gloria Arroyo from the wrath of the Filipino people. Amen
Sa tingin ko..kaya inagaw kaagad ni Gloria kay Erap ang pagka presidente..kasi ang sabi niya..being Vice President is no fun..can not sit and can not stand..but more than that with regards to Erap plundering kuno..ang sabi niya “anything you can do, I can do better” and she did prove it..
Dondi: “will the real leaders rise up” ikaw naman paano sila makatayo ay kinulong na nga. Sen. Trillanes is still detained and is not even allowed to attend senate sessions..have you forgotten how many voted for him? And those officer and soldiers detained..hindi ba leaders din sila kaya lang ikinulong. Kung sabagay nga may mga tao na madaling makalimot..kasi they want to forget…pero may mga tao din na madaling makalimot kasi..may sakit..kaya ni Death of Justice Secretary..mayroon din may amnesia..lapse of judgment..a lot of people seem to forget, not because they want to forget or they have forgotten..but nawawalan na nag pagasa. I am sure you are much younger than I am..can you tell us how to inspire the youth of today how to be leaders?… I am hoping on you.
kawawang bansa. walang mapagpiliaan na matino.

eheste… para sa MASA pala…he, he, he
If Chavit’s testimony is the cornerstone of Erap’s trial, talagang masama pa sa Bangladesh and lagay ng bansa natin. Chavit is the most corrupt politician I have ever known. He now operates casinos all over. If one crosses his path, they just disappear( dead or abducted). He is known to pamper all his wives. Saan ba kukuha ng perang pinangsusugal niya na parang high roller sa Las Vegas? Kapag pumupunta sa Las Vegas yan kasama ang mga in-laws ng kasamang “asawa” at ang hotel ay no less than the Mandalay pa. Hindi lang iisang van ang sakay kasi bawat anak na kasama ay may maid pa. Kaninong pera and ginagamit niya? Tuwing nakikita ko ang pagmumukha nitong hoodlum na Chavit, I want to puke!!!
We might see a repeat of the Feb 2006 when the tiyanak declared the 1017 if the people will not be contained. I hope that the Filipinos will not give the tiyanak a reason to declare martial law anew. It will be a fatal mistake.
I may be wrong but I think that Erap will be found guilty in some of the graft charges but he probably will be freed finally. Basta lang may masabing “guilty” siya on some of the charges, the so-called maka-Arroyo( if there are such animals) will be happy. Afterall Erap was already detained in his Tanay rest house for over six years. Those six years would have paid for his crime already.
Noong pumunta kay Erap yung mga taga-Malacanang, nakipag-usap na yang mga yan kay Erap na kung sakali mang makakalabas na siya after the verdict na hindi niya kakasuhan si tiyanak at hindi na siya maghahangad uli na tatakbo sa pagka-presidente.
..DP: Ang galing mong pagpatawa..
..Chi: Ash Wednesday ba kay Gloria?..ang sabi ba ng pari adviser niya Remember..dust thou art and to dust you will return? Normal work day..sure to make money..and more money..ang tanong ng pamangkin kong si Bernard noong 5 years old siya..what does your mother work for? Money?
..Would this be a daring prayer?..Lord, please give us an indira gandhi day today. Or how about this?..Lord, ang sabi ni GMA isang bala lang..isang bala lang na magkamali at tumama sa ulo niya..at maging tahimik na ang lahat.
Dinapinoy, between Erap and the tiyanak, after seeing the worse corruption now, I wil be kinder to Erap this time. Aba eh, ang ipinalit kay Erap ay hindi lang magnanakaw supreme, sinungaling pa at inaayudahan ang mga alipores niyang mamatay tao! At least si Erap, makatao. Napaligiran lang talaga siya ng mga buwaya noon. Biruin mo si Chavit ba naman ang alalay niya, Atong Ang pa at si Jimenez. Puro tuso ba naman!
parasabayan,
ang magnanakaw, kahit na makatao ay magnanakaw pa rin. kung hindi sila nagka onsehan (erap, chavit, atong, etc), hindi lalabas ang baho. tuloy pa rin sana ang pagpapatayo ng mga mansyons. makatao nga siguro si erap – tao naman ang titira sa mga mansyons.
PSB,
Kung sa nakaw, you can bet your bottom dollar, walang nanakaw si Erap. In the first place, said ang kaban nang pumasok siya kaya nga para hindi siya mahuli, isa sa promotor ng EDSA 2 si FVR! Hindi nga makautang ang pobre dahil may pre-publicity na siyang kapareho siya ni Ferdinand Marcos dahil sa totoo lang ay Marcos Loyalist siya.
Sabi ko nga, kung may kasalanan ang taong ito, ang kasalanan niya ay bribery. Iyon namang mga asawa niya, ang kasalanan ay sila ang nagbro-broker I think doon sa mga negosyo, etc. inaalok kay Erap ng kung sinu-sinong kurakot. Wala naman actually na ipinag-iba doon sa trabaho ng kamag-anak ng mga naging presidente na ng Pilipinas since the Philippines became independent. Naging tradition na nilalapitan ang mga kamag-anak to be this and that company’s chairman of the board for instance gaya ni Pacifico Marcos noon na Chairman ng
Congratulation to GMA Pinoy for live coverage…medyo emotional na ako. Grabe pala sinapit nila sa Santa Rosa so ganito din pala dinadanas ng Magdalo.
Oops, naputol. Sinasabi ko si Pacifico Marcos for instance na naging chairman ng isang malaking travel agency na ang may-ari pa nga ay ang dating SC judge na si Art Panganiban. Nanay nga ni Marcos na si Josefa, chairman din ng maraming kompaniya, at inooperan pa sila ng malaking share sa mga nasabing kompaniya kaya ngayon iyong ang hinahabol ng mga anak ni Macoy, ang kanilang mga share. Noon, ang purpose ng mga kompaniyang iyon ay protection sa mga iba pang linta sa gobyerno.
Siguro naman kung mga walang ganyan tradition at practices, walang mga makakakurakot. Pero pustahan tayo, maski si Lacson, hindi iyan gagalawin. Si Trillanes lang siguro ang magkakalakas na buwagin ang mga ganyang anomalous practices and tradition at sabi nga culture of impunit. Pero dahil sabit ang mga kasama niya sa Senado sa bagay na iyan, walang masigasig talagang ipukpok sa mga gunggong sa Kagawaran ng Katarungan na palabasin siya para makapagsilbi siya sa bayan. Tutal, hindi pa naman siya nako-convict, nor has been elevated to an accused. Suspect pa lang naman siya at mga kasama niya!!!
Gunggong ang hustisya sa Pilipinas? You bet! Pati nga mga licensed lawyers, ginugonggong e. Sayang wala silang talagang powerful na federation of bar associations sa Pilipinas. Kundi, tumba ang mga gunggong na namamahala ng Kagawaran ng Hustisya at mga korte sa Pilipinas. Dapat inaasikasong linisin at buwagin ang mga hindi tama doon.
My sympathy to all concerned Filipinos, sa totoo lang. Kawawang bansa!
si erap at si lacson, umaasa pa rin sa amerika. basahin sa ibaba:
Time and again, the U.S. authorities have issued statements that Aquino’s actions, in connivance with Leandro Aragoncillo, a Fil-Am then working as an intelligence analyst for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), were executed on the behest of a high ranking government official of the Philippines. Despite the admission of those who received the documents, it was never made clear who was pulling Aquino’s strings.
The recipients included former President Joseph Estrada, who was ousted five years ago; Sen. Panfilo Lacson, the leader of the Arroyo opposition party; and former House Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella.
Estrada and Lacson have acknowledged receiving information from Aquino or Aragoncillo, but deny any wrongdoing… [WCBS-TV New York]
So, the guilty plea may finally lead to the names of the real masters of the game. You didn’t really think that Aquino and Leandro Aragoncillo (the Fil-Am FBI analyst who did the actual stealing of the documents) were the only players in this espionage game, did you?
And here’s a little perspective that should be food for thought. In September, 2005, Sunstar’s Anol Mongaya quipped:
The incident gives me the sense that the Americans did not favor the political forces that will benefit from Aquino’s espionage activities…
Of course. Gloria Arroyo is an amplifier of Bush ‘war on terror’, isn’t she? A believer of the American way of life. Why would the U.S. want her ousted?

kawawang bansa! idagdag si gloria sa listahan, tatlo na ang pinoy!
Dinapinoy, ikumpara ang ninanakaw ni tiyanak at ng mga alipores niya, na ngayon ay unti unti nang lumalabas, kulangot lang ang kurakot ni Erap. Hindi ko ipinagtatanggol ang mga ginawang pagnanakaw ni Erap kaya lang mas maganda kung ihahalintulad mo ang nakawan noon at ngayon. Sa totoo lang dapat lang na managot ang kahit sino sa mga pagnanakaw nila sa kaban ng bayan! I would be one of the proponents for a speedy trial of any form of corruption in all levels of the government. Dapat talaga, maikulong ang mga magnanakaw at hindi na magkakaroon ng pagkakataong manungkulan ulit sa gobierno! Sa bawat sentimong ninanakaw ng mga nakapwesto sa gobyierno natin, piso ang kapalit dahil sa compounding effect ng interest at inflation. Ang piso ngayon ay sentimo na lang bukas. We are still paying for the debts of the prior presidents. Talagang baon na baon na tayo sa utang. Kahit pa anong buwis ang kukunin sa mga kalakalan, kulang pa ang mga ito para pambayad ng utang! Mabuti na lang may mahigit na 10 milyong manggagawa ang nangangalap ng dolyar at euro sa ibat-ibang bansa para itaguyod ang mga pangangailangan ng karamihan. Yet, inspite of this, one in every 3 Filipinos would be starving!
hindi ako magugulat kung #3 ang pwesto ni gloria sa listahan. swerte si erap, laglag siya sa #11 kaya hindi na siya kasali sa top 10.
Wow, Dinapinoy, eh di talagang sisiw lang ang nakaw ni Erap kay tiyanak! Sa ZTE deal na lang $ 200 million na, eh yung pang $ 500 na nasa German bank at ang mga hindi pa natin alam. Gee, talaga naman!!!!
parasabayan,
hindi kulangot lang ang $78 – $80 million.
parasabayan,
kaya nga sabi ko, hindi ako magugulat kung #3 si gloria sa listahan. kung i-diklara niya ang martial law, baka malagpasan niya si marcos.
“it is more bribery for him to close his eyes on the illegal activities of Chavit Singson.”
You’re right Yuko, si Chavit dapat ang makulong for bribery. At marami pa siyang kaso ng corruption lalo na yung sa Excise Tax na ipinapasa niya kay Erap. Pinapatay pa nga niya yung nag-audit na taga-COA para lang di matuloy ang imbestigasyon sa kanya. Yan ang dapat harapin ng Sandiganbayan. Isama na yung kaso nila JocJOc at ngayon may ZTE pa.
Let us pray for the best. Na sana eh the justices are enlightened and give Erap true justice and the victory of acquittal.
..Would this be a daring prayer?..Lord, please give us an indira gandhi day today. Or how about this?..Lord, ang sabi ni GMA isang bala lang..isang bala lang na magkamali at tumama sa ulo niya..at maging tahimik na ang lahat.

Rose,
Your best prayer so far. Sige, dasal din ako ng ganyan.
I am Catholic and will always pray the Lord’s prayer.
The Lord’s Prayer:
*********************
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Philippine Law:
=================
According to the Philippine law, the plunder charge, defined as large-scale corruption, is non-bailable and punishable by death. …
DP and PSB,
Ano ba ang ninakaw ni Erap galing sa kaban ng bayan? Ang pagkaka-alam ko eh wala. At wala pang napapatunayan. Yung kaso niya ngayon ay jueteng ni Chavit na hindi galing sa kaban ng bayan. At tsaka nuon pa ay mayaman na ang mga ninuno ni Erap. Isa ang pamilya niya na kauna-unahang mayaman sa San Juan. Kaya nga Donya Mary ang tawag sa nanay niya eh. Bukod pa yung mga kinita niya sa pelikula. Si Erap at si FPJ ang pinakamalaki ang kita sa showbiz. Isang one-minute commercial nga lang ay milyon-milyon ang bayad sa kanya. Inggit lang sila Gloria dahil wala silang mansyon na katulad ng sinasabing kay Erap. INGGIT LANG YAN!
Basta sa mga lumalabas na katiwalian, Si Gloria ang pinaka-masahol ang kawalanghiyaang at pandarambong na ginawa at ginagawa pa sa taong bayan. Every evil has its ending. And Gloria’s ending will be the most morbid!!! And it is coming!!!
A few moments ago I witnessed an ANC interview with Moreno the Gov. of Misamis Oriental when he said “Things are looking brighter in Mindanao now” – what planet is he on, all I see is AFP troops in full pack carrying powerful fire arms, killing and being killed.
Yes, you guessed it another ass licker!
WWNL,
Thanks for the update on Mindanao. Moreno lives in Pluto!
You bet, Luz, walang ninakaw si Erap dahil said ang kaban nang umupo siya. Nilimas ni FVR pati na iyong mga pondong nakolekta para sa Centennial na hindi natuloy.
O bakit si FVR hindi makulong? At saka itong si pandakitak, kailan pa huhulihin iyan?
Iyong PM namin, paalis na. Hindi tinigilan ng mga media dito mula pa noong matalo ang LDP sa eleksyon. Sa Pilipinas, pakapalan ng mukha! Yuck! Nakakai-Yuck!
O bakit naman ini-stop ni unano ang meeting daw niya pagkatapos marinig ang balita ng verdict ni Erap? Puede ba, tama na ang arte, hindi naman siya si Nora Aunor! Lumang tactic na. Nakakasawa na, puede ba?
O next eksena, ano ba? Pardon ni Erap, salamat kay pandak? Ganoon ba? Corny naman!
Here’s the list of scandals and anomalous transactions that Gloria and her government have been involved in from day 1 after having toppled former President Estrada (and unresolved to this day):
The list is from DJB’s Philippine Commentary thread “After Erap, Who’s next?” http://www.philippinecommentary.blogspot.com , preceeded by a brief introduction (his).
Readers may google any of the following search terms to get an idea of the vast quagmire of corruption and malfeasance that Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her diehard allies must surely be brought before the Bar of Justice for:
Jose Pidal unexplained wealth
Nani Perez, IMPSA bribery scandal
Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard
NAIA-3
Impeachment of Hilario Davide
Venable Contract Norberto Gonzales
EO 464
Oakwood Mutiny
JocJoc Bolante fertilizer scam

Maguindanao Zubiri Pimentel Bedol
Hello Garci Wiretapping and Electoral Rigging Case

Mahaba pa ang listahan na ‘to kesa height ng criminal mismo.
Hahahah! Spot on Sampot!
Rose, age does not matter whether you are in the 40s or 50s. Do not get me wrong in my search and call for leaders to stand up. On the contrary, it is a call to our men in uniform that despite their detention, to keep the fire burning. They are what the real stuff are made up. Their ideals should inspire our youth. They are true blue and should be emulated. Their vignette of courage are more than enough to inspire the youth. If fate will not be kind to them, for sure there will be more of the likes of General Miranda, Langkit, Querubin, Trillanes, Aquino, etc. who will rise someday to continue what they have started. The cause is so noble that the effect will be great. And this call for real leaders to stand up is addressed to them. Kung mangyayari man iyon, our fallen heroes from Rizal to Ninoy then can proudly say “you did a good job to make this nation great again” for the living.
anna, sampot,
kapag ibinuhos ‘yang laman ng listahan ng kasalanan ng ganid na babae, sigurado akong ni dulo ng daliri ay hindi makikita kapag siya ay nagkakakawag upang pumaibabaw at sumagap ng hangin!
Nabasa ko na naman iyang listahan ni DinaPinoy.
This weekend, I recommend you read this website maling-mali yung listahan na iyan. Pero mas tama yatang World’s All-time Richest Men ang ilagay sa listahan kung saan #1 si Makoy #2 si Sukarno/Suharto #3 siguro si Baron Von Krupp. Malayo ang puwesto nila Bill Gates at Hassanah Bolkiah ng Brunei.

Marami siguradong magugulat dito. I recommend the same for everybody
tongue,
marcos loyalist ka pala. ang tawag dyan ay ‘urban legend’ at ang sabi $8 billion daw yun kuno. kaya abonado pa siya.
isa pang ‘urban legend’ ay ang golden buddha ni rogelio roxas. baka alam mo ang istorya, paki kwento na rin kung ano ang di-umanong nangyari kay roger. napanood mo ba yung ‘unsolved mysteries’? sikat dito sa tate’. matagal na yun pero grabe ang re-enactment.
