Ang sitwasyon ni Gloria ngayon ay para siyang nahulog sa kumunoy (quicksand). Hindi siya maa-aring kumilos. Bawat kilos niya ay lalong nagpapalubog sa kanya.
Apat na araw na ang nakalipas at wala pang kongkretong hawak ang mga imbestigador kung sino ang may kagagagawan ng karumal-dumal na krimen kung saan 11 ang namatay at sobra 120 ang nasugatan.
Ngunit sa mga pahayag ni Arroyo at ng kanyang mga opisyal, hindi naa-alis ang suspetsa ng mga tao na kagagawan nila ito para matabunan ang maraming kontrobersiya na kanyang nakakasangkutan.
Ang kinatatakutan ng marami ay baka gamitin ito ni Arroyo at ng kanyang mga utak pulbura na mga alagad na rason para itulak ang mas marahas na pamamalakad katulad ng martial law kahit hindi niya tawagin ng ganyan.
Binubuhay ngayon ni Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV ang panawagan para mag-snap election. Sa isang manifesto na kumakalat ngayon, nananawagan si Trillanes na mag-resign si Arroyo at si Vice President Noli de Castro para magkaroon ng election sa loob ng 60 days.
Sabi ni Trillanes ito lamang ang mapayapang paraan na maayos ang ating problema na pampulitika sa bansa. Ang dami-daming eskandalo ang nakapulapol kay Arroyo. Nandiyan ang Hello garci, ZTE, North Rail, Diosdado Macapagal Highway, Joc-joc Bolante Fertelizer scam, Jose Pidal, extra-judicial killings, at Malacañang bribery.
Wala ng nagre-respeto at naniniwala kay Arroyo. Hindi na siya maaring mamahala.
May mga nanawagan na mag-resign si Arroyo at hayaan si De Castro na mamahala sa bansa hanggang 2010. Sabi ni Trillanes, nakinabang si De Castro sa pandaraya noong 2004 na eleksyon at hidni siya kumibo sa gitna nitong mga eskandalo. Kaya wala na rin siyang moral authority para mamahala.
Sa akin, pasensiyahan ko sana ni De Castro kahit hindi marunong mag-English at mukhang hindi rin talaga nakakaintindi sa mga isyu. Ang ayaw ko sa kanya at ang pagpayag niya na gamitin sa pagtatakip ng mga katiwalian.
Mula ng lumabas ang Hello Garci scandal noong 2005, mahaba ang panahon para magdesisyon si De Castro kung ipaglaban niya ang katotohanan at hustisya o papagamit siya siya para matagao ang mga bagay na bilang broadcaster ay dapat niyang protektahan at pa-igtingin. Mas pinili niya ang magbibingi-an at magbulag-bulagan.
Bakit naman tayo magkaroon ng radikal na pagbabago tapos ang ilalagay lang naman natin ay isang hindi nakipag-laban para sa katotohanan at hustisya. Nagsasayang lang tayo ng pagod.
Kaya suportahan natin itong panawagan ni Sen. Trillanes para mag-snap election.
We don’t have a political opposition in this country(i.e,no principled opposition).It’s not like Republicans versus Democrats or Labour versus Conservatives.
What we have is always the “INs versus the OUTs”!
What’s the difference of GMA/Enrile/Defensor Santiago/Puno
versus Villar/Cayetano/Madrigal/Legarda/Escuudero?
Answer:Nada!
WE ,the people, are the opposition!
I bet you GMA will not agree to a snap election. Hindi siya tanga tulad ni Marcos na nabuyo sa pagtawag ng snap election.
She is in a no-win situation if she calls for a snap election.
Kung walang dayaan, kahit sinong Barangay Chairman ay tatalunin siya.
Maganda ang panawagan ni Sen. Trillanes tungkol sa Snap Election. Altho suntok sa buwan, kung mangyayari yan, it’s one solution to end glorya’s continued clinging to her twice-grabbed presidency.
But I doubt if glorya will give way to it. She knows it’s suicidal on her part. Her cohorts will surely tell her don’t take the gambit otherwise, it’s the end for all of them, checkmate! Bunye particularly will come out again with his gasgas nang statement: she has the mandate up to 2010.
Equalizer raised a good point saying we don’t have a genuine political opposition. There are too many parties. Sa party-list groups na lang ang dami. I prefer the old set up with only two parties…Nacionalista and Liberal. This way, walang masyadong balimbing at kanya-kanya.
?
In the Senate, there are only 3 genuine oppositionists there.
Very unhealthy state of affairs. When there is not enough opposition, political debates (THE debates not just argumenting) become almost futile.
You end up with a de facto authoritarian rule in that case.
Tama si Ellen na suportahan na lang natin ang SNAP ELECTION. Dahil wala naman tayong makikita or maasahan kay Kabayag Noli eh. Hindi kayang tumayo at ipag tanggol ang bayan natin dahil walang bayag. Isa pa parang wala naman tayong bise presidente dahil hindi mo alam kung ano ang ginagawa niya at parang balewala ang posisyon niya kay Gloria. Sabagay tama rin si Sen. Trillanes na nakinabang siya sa daya kaya hindi maka piyok.
Eto ang mga problema natin kapag si kabayag Noli ang pumalit.
1) Kung siya ang papalit sa upuan ni Gloria ay ganoon pa rin ang mangyayari sa bansa natin.
2) Kayang kayang utuhin si Noli ng mga kasamahan niya Wednesday boys.
3) Wala siyang alam sa Batas.
ana:just curious,who are the three( pimentel,lacson and…?)
Equalizer, … 3rd is trillanes?
i always forget that he is a senator now. agree with you!
Tsk..tsk…tsk…! Si Madam Unano ay hindi na yata alam ang gagawin para makaiwas sa kumunoy na siya rin ang maygawa!
Exciting ngunit nakakabakaba ang mga kasunod! Daig pa ang mga TV teleserye ngayon. Pero naman mga taong bayan, maghanda-handa na po kayong ipaglaban ang katotohanan! Alisin, walisin, sipain at kahit ano pang inyong gagawin…walang karapatan ang namumuno kapag ito ay SINUNGALING!
ang dapat isigaw ng bayan: TAMA NA! SOBRA NA! ALIS D’YAN, GLORIA!
ok Payag akong mag-SNAP ELECTION ! pero bago mangyari yan, IBITIN muna nang patiwarik si Gluria at si Noli !
Me punto si Equalizer as to the absence of genuine opposition in the Philippines,
Pero kahit naman po sa US, wala ding opposition..
If we’ll closely examine pareho lang naman din lumalabas ang policies nila,,
at ang mga leading figures eh pare-pareho din namang members ng iba’t ibang powerful organizations nila (CFR, Skulls and Bones, Masonry, Bilderberg, etc,etc..)
Hulihin (Thru citizen’s arrest) ang lahat nang Alipores ni gluria, Balatan natin at igulong natin sa asin at saka ihawin ang mga hayup na yan ! Sobra na kayo…todo-todo na galit ko sa inyo…!!!!
snap election might be the answer but lte’s not forget hawak pa rin ni gloria ang mga OMMISSIONERS OF ELECTION at habang me pansuhol si unano ala pa rin mangyayari. it wil be the same story.
i agree with you ellen. putting de castro as the caretaker of the philipines if ever and this s a big if gloria ever resigns, is just a slap on the filipino people’s faces. noli has no principle in fighting for the rights of the filipino people. he is an accessory to gloria’s cheating and lying ways by maintaining his silence, not taking a stand ad by not fighting for the truth to come out
Eh kung hindi si Noli sino? He’s the only constitutionally eligible person to replace GMA. Kung hindi People Power, iyan lang ang paraan…gawing caretaker si Noli. No one likes this guy who enriched himself as a media man. Wala naman inatupag iyan kundi mag-golf at travel. But, I think he won’t be worse than GMA. He won’t be more corrupt since GMA is the most corrupt. Ewan ko ba sa mga tongue ina na iyan!
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that
diesel is not volatile enough to explode in its liquid state.
But now that scientists from UP are the ones
saying it, maybe the accident angle can now go and die in peace.
——————————————————————————————————
From abs-cbnnews.com
‘Makati blast not caused by methane-diesel mix’
Experts from the University of the Philippines-College of Engineering thumbed down on the theory that the blast last Friday at Glorietta 2 mall in Makati City was caused by chemical and gas leaks.
Chemical engineering professors Ernesto dela Cruz and Wilfredo Jose, faculty members and students said it was unlikely that a leak from the tank containing thousands of liters of diesel at the mall’s basement caused the blast.
The engineers said diesel is not a volatile substance and will not explode as a liquid at any rate. They said it has to be in a gaseous state and has to vaporize before it can explode.
They said that for diesel to vaporize, it has to be heated to up to more than 200 degrees Celsius inside an engine.

Agree with you, Equalizer!
Am proud of Sen. Trillanes. He’s not scared to voice out his opinion!
So what ever happened to the other so-called Oppositionists! Why so quiet?
If a Snap election is the only way to clean Gloria’s mess, then why not! NDC is surely not the right man to take the place of the FAKE one! A TV commentator didn’t even want to read Noli’s name as the possible successor to the “throne!” Very shameful daw!
noli may notbe worse than gma but he has no principe. people power is the answer at pagkatapos nito gawin natin si sen. tillanes na careaker while preparing for real honest to goodness election
Snap Election.Yes! In the first place her mafia gangs personally thinks punggok is an okay cat, there is no way that she can be considered a truly elected president in a real democracy.Our country is in no way, shape, or form a real functioning democracy right now—and maybe its not ever going to be one either. Punggok certainly has no nationwide support, she certainly does not have clear-cut widespread support of the people. That’s why opposition getting so much airplay, as well as inciting the masses. Many see as an authoritarian dictator and military stooge, and it’s not hard to envision why to think that way. Given her situation, what else can she do?
Philippines fall into total chaos, anarchy, or even a theocratic state. Only her acolytes and neocons will continue to support her, in order to keep a lid on the boiling pot. It gets tricky for true support for fake president,
In Pidalism state has no democracy, the army has a special, central place in the ideology of treasure looting. To question that is risky. The corollary is the army is the big brother of illegal tenant in Malacanang; the elected government survives at its sufferance, its performance constantly watched and evaluated by Garci generals. Esperon military has no respect for a civilian rule and feels that democracy does not suit the country. His army is fully politicized and also toes the line of fundamentalists calling of her almighty midget master. There is no general belief around that Punggok has done well and brought some credibility and stability to the nation. But she falsely harbors hope of going down the history of Philippines as another Marcos. There will be always opposition parties craving for a change in the system and demand civilian supremacy. In any democracy Army has to remain on back benches and civilian authority would be supreme. Only under such circumstances democracy would function. But when Army is politicized that is very common military coups are imminent. It is the mental attitude of the people. Thus, the saga of our country till today is a cocktail of misrule, military dictatorships, repression, persecution, and incompetent governing, murder, and mayhem, honor killings of innocents, Basilan wars, and inspiration to terrorism, fundamentalism, hatred and catholic church intolerance.
Hindi na muna pinag-uusapan ang principle ngayon. Kahit na mga dati nating iniidolo tulad nina Honasan at Cayetano, may mga principle ba? The bottom line is…we must oust this GMA.
Si Noli madali na lang ayusin iyan. Ang tanong lang…papayag ba siya? Hindi. Kaya nga siya pinili ni GMA bilang Bise.
Kapag nag-snap election…slap sa mukha ni GMA. One of these days, Erap shall be pardoned. He would be free of civil and political liability if pardoned. That means he can run for public office again. What if he runs for President again in 2010? Wala naman conflict sa pardon niya kasi hindi naman siya umamin ng kasalanan. Kapag bumalik siya sa Malacanang, gumawa na lang siya ng mabuti at ipakulong ang mga nagtraydor sa kanya tulad ni Chavit Singson. The problem is there are many who have plans of running in 2010 among them are Lacson, Legarda, Roxas and Gordon. They won’t like the idea of Erap running. But if Erap really wants to run again, he can pick Lacson as his Vice and then after Erap’s term, Lacson takes over. Kaya pa ni Erap. Marami pa siyang magagawa para sa bayan. Kung nagkamali at nagkasala man siya noon, siguro naman gagamitin niya ang mga huling araw niya sa mundo na gumawa ng kabutihan sa mga mahihirap. By the way, there’s one religious group that initiated, worked and mediated for Erap’s pardon. Pumayag si Erap dahil sa advice ng religious group na ito. Papayag din si GMA dahil sinuportahan din siya ng grupo. So far, there’s not even one Malacanang man who is against the pardon. Guess who this religious group is?
Okay ang Snap election para sa kasalukuyang krisis politikal. Wala nang tiwala ang taumbayan sa pamahalang Arroyo-De Castro. Dapat sila’y magbitiw sa puwesto at sampahan kaagad ng kasong electoral fraud, pandarambong at suholan. Bago snap election dapat magbitiw din lahat na Commelec commissionaires. Sila ay salot sa ating demokrasya.
i agree with you diego that in gloria we don’t have trust. ganun din sa comelec na dapat nangangalaga sa pasya ng sambayanan pero sila pa ang nangunguna sa pagbabaluktot ng ating mga karapatan
pechanco;
Hindi na muna pinag-uusapan ang principle ngayon.
Amigo! We should choose our leader not by what status, or wealth that he or she has; but rather we should choose for a leader that mirror the values and moral fortitude that we ourselves as individuals stand for. We should be begin to be truthful to one another by telling a person if he or she is doing the wrong thing, and not compromise our integrity for a government job, we can either cross it together or sink in it together. Which option would you prefer?
Leadership is defined as influencing people to get things done to a standard and quality above their norm. And doing it willingly. They should not fear leadership, but rather embrace it, the role of a leader is to create followers. Those are individuals who are willing to put forth their efforts to support a constructive leader. The task of a leader is to bring about constructive change. Bringing about constructive change is not an easy task, but when the citizens realize that change will better their lives, they are more apt to accept the change. It is then the responsibility of the leader bring about the change in a way that is responsive to the true and long-term needs of the country. A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, they will say: we did it our self. This should be the mark for which all aspirant leaders of our country should strive to achieve.
We all know that a typical traditional politician does consider themselves corrupt. Corruption is a serious problem, and should be treated with serious medicine. We are so used to corruption to the point that we have accepted it to be normal behavior in our society. The disease is so ingrained in us that it has taken over every segment of our daily lives. We have sacrificed our values and integrity for the little perks that we often get from practicing corruption.
very well said cocoy. what good is a leader if he has no principle?
Cocoy, I’m afraid that leader you’re looking for is not born yet. Lahat ng leader may kapintasan. In politics and governance, there’s trade off. Hindi puwede puro straight at prinsipyo lang. Dapat marunong din maglaro ng kaunti. A leader should be flexible not only domestically, but internationally. Kailangan marunong din maglaro with other foreign leaders and government. Kahit na maldita si Imelda Marcos, diyan siya magaling. Maraming foreign leaders ang napaamo niya isa na diyan si Kadaffy ng Libya. Si Imelda ang trouble shooter ni Marcos at ng bansa. Prinsiple? Idealism? Honesty? Holiness? Masarap pakinggan iyan pero harapin natin ang katotohanan na si Kristo lang ang perfecto. Ibig kong isipin na si Erap ay may principle. Ipaglalaban niya ang kaso niya…pero ano ngayon? Kinakain niya ang prinsipyo niya? Si FPJ at Lacson parehong may principle at ayaw magbigayan noon. Pero nasaan sila ngayon?
Ang isa patay na at ang isa naman ay nananatili pa rin senador. Noong ibagsak ni Marcos at Erap, did those groups stick to their principle? The military and the communists forgot all about their principles and conspired to oust the two leaders. Ang mga magkaaway noon na mga pulitiko kinalimutan ang mga paninindigan nila basta lang ibagsak ang common enemy nila. If one truly is principled, hindi pumipili ng panahon o pagkakataon iyan. He will continue to stick to his principle no matter what. Where is that person who can truly call himself principled?
By the way, define “principle”. I think only the school principal knows what principle is. Principle sounds like principal.
ok ang snap election walang dayaan…at kung gusto talagang mapatunayan ni GMA na ok siya why not an election of President and Vice President? For President: Gloria Arroyo vs. Manny Villar (or Ping Lacson): For Vice President: Noli de Castro vs Loren Legarda (uli) Total the Congress was duly elected..puera lang si Oh Me Gal So Very. No more campaigning..election kaagad..no more vote buying-election kaagad..at tutukan ang Comelec..resign na si Abalos hindi ba? though I am from Antique I am not really for Loren (my choice was for lack of anyone I could think of)kahit sino huwag lang si Brenda…
Rose, gaya ng sinabi ko…kung ma-pardon si Erap, puwede siyang tumakbo uli sa 2010. Panalo na naman iyan.
pechanco:
Maybe,the leader that we are looking for is not yet born.However,I still believe in God’s miracle.David was choosen by God,to face the battle against army of the Philistines.David indeed victorious, felling Goliath with a stone from his sling and then David brings the head of Goliath to Saul.
Maybe,the David we are looking for is still locked-up by Esperon,but,times maybe will come that he will bring the head of Goliath’s opposite the midget in Malacanang to the altar of freedom.
Are you saying that the next Philippine President should be chosen by God, Cocoy? And how do we know he or she is chosen by God? Velarde, Villanueva, Manalo and other religious leaders claim they were chosen by God to lead their flocks. Ibig mo bang sabihin ang susunod natin Pangulo ay dapat manggaling sa mga taong iyan?
pechanco;
Not those people you have mentioned,they are all morally depraved and God has a curse for them waiting in hell.God performed miracle in Pampanga’s best.Father Panlilio at least has principle on his 500,000 pesos expose,without his revelation of brown envelope given at Malacanang the suhol remain uncovered.Who knows maybe,he’ll run for president if the Angel from heaven will visit him in his bed and telling him that God commanded him to do so!Hehehehe!
Pechanco,
If ever, kung sakali, baka sakali, there will be snap election, an Erap vs. glorya in a grudge match is something to watch. Let there be no more campaigning nationwide, just one or two debates over TV and radio and the term will be up to 2010 only.
But that is if Erap is pardon and with no legal impediment to run. Ang tanong: Kukuha kaya ng bato si glorya para ipukpok sa sarili?
At bago natin pagtalunan who will be next president, Ignacio Bunye is now acting executed secretary, little president, meaning maliit pa kay glorietta. Wait until he hold a press conference just to say again: Forget snap election. Ang aking mahal na panggulo has her mandate up to 2010.
TurningPoint;
Ang aking mahal na panggulo has her mandate up to 2010.
I have two crystal ball and the writing on the fortune cookies is the same as yours!
why si Erap? why not Lacson? I think Lacson would be a good president.
Meron pa tayong isang partido na pwedeng ilaban sa snap election: Ang Kapatiran Party. Do you still remember them? Mukhang mga lightweights at neophytes sa politics pero mukhang heavyweights sa moralidad at credibilidad.
http://www.angkapatiran.org
shivaRN;
Mas exciting siguro ang Showdown kung Glori-Noli vs Susan-Dolphy.
Kung walang snap election at mag people power ulit ay walang ibang dapat umupo kundi si Erap dahil siya ang lehitimong nanalo bilang pangulo na walang daya. Kung buhay lang si FPJ ay wala na tayong dapat pag talunan dito. Pipili na lang si Erap na pagkakatiwalaan na maging bise niya. Iyun ay kung sino?????
Ibitin ng patiwarik lahat ng mga magnanakaw sa Gobyerno.
Punggok agree with the Snap Election,on the condition that she will choose her Presidential opponent.Pakyaw top her list,followed by Lozano and Pulido.
I prefer a revolution if I were you. Snap election is good only during the Marcos regime. At least, there was still some semblance of propriety with those Namfrel people walking out during the counting to show their disgust even when they were unconsciously being used as well by the power mightier than Macoy!!!
Hindi na obra ang santu-santohan. Kailangan na ang paspasan sa kaso ni GLORC. It does not have to be bloody in fact. A nationwide strike will be bloody only when they start exploding those bombs that the GLORC is likely to order her general Esperon to explode on their way just like what they wanted to do that the gallant men now in incarceration refused to obey and do.
it has come to a point where people should now be ready to make some sacrifices, and take the risk since lives are being taken anyway indiscriminately to keep the short woman, who wants to be a queen, in her stolen position. Hindi na puede ang lamya-lamya. It’s time to take a more drastic action even at the peril of one’s life.
The protests actually need not be bloody but we know that any peaceful rally against the crooks can be bloody as we had witnessed in May 2001, but let the GLORC take that risk of incurring the ire of other people who should be informed that they should not give any more money to this government because the loans and aids they give are not being used for but against the people. Time for countries in the UN to stop helping this regime financially. Instead, they should declare similar sanctions that the UN is now contemplating to impose on Burma.
We’ll see what the US will do even when China will continue to support the GLORC ala-Darfur!!!
As they say in Tagalog, “Kundi makuha sa santong dasalan, kunin mo sa santong paspasan.”
Ewan ko kung natoto na si Erap. Mabait na tao iyan at kung may kurakot man siya, hindi naman pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan. Ang alam ko iyong mga pinaupo din niya nag nagsira sa kaniya.
Yes, why don’t Filipinos let him finish his term. Review what he did in the first two years of his reign, and then, let him continue with what he had started then like the project he had in fact with some international organization regarding making the Philippines become self-sufficient even in rice. A friend involved in that project was telling me in fact of some piece of land in Palawan that was supposed to be used for that project. He now actually wonders who grabbed that piece of land.
Kami nga may project with Erap na hindi natuloy. If he is returned even just to finish his term, we will be willing to continue doing that project with him. At least, Erap has the experience of trying to make both ends meet with little or no aid from foreign countries like those the Great Dorobo has been visiting not just once but many times to get ODA.
I know for a fact Japan’s reluctance to give Erap a state visit and aids that he needed for his projects, but he was able to get by with so little finances. Itong unano, binaon na sa utang ang mga pilipino para sa kapritso lang niya.
BTW, someone has told me that the creep wants to visit Japan this November para mangutang na naman. I have not received any confirmation on this yet, but if she is planning to come here again, we surely will conduct a much bigger protest against her visit. Dapat hindi na pumayag ang mga taumbayan na patuloy pa silang ibaon sa utang ng hayup na dorobong ito.
Patalsikin na, now na! Please!
Snap elections? Gagastos na naman tayo sa mock election na ang mga tatakbong kandidato e puro may hidden personal agenda at imamanage pa ng orig na mandarayang COMELEC na popondohan ng pinakabuwisit na administrasyon sa history ng Pilipinas? Mali yata. Matay ko mang tingnan, ito’y continuation lamang ng sunud-sunod na kamaliang nagsimula noong 2001, nang mang-agaw ng poder si Gloria. We are all witnesses to the destructive consequences na talaga namang wala yatang katulad (no need to enumerate dahil alam at danas na naman ng lahat).
My opinion goes to the old line that we have to “correct the original mistake” and “reactivate the constitutional clock of Erap”. Why not, alam naman nating saliwa rin ang naging hatol sa kanya at may mandate syang dapat ituloy, sa ayaw man nya at sa gusto. Medyo madugo nga lamang ito dahil siguradong magpapakamatay si Gloria at mga kampon nya para lang wag mangyari ito. Pero sa tingin ko, ito lang ang tanging tamang paraan…PATALSIKIN SI GLORIA, IBALIK ANG LEGAL NA PODER NI ERAP, SUBUKANG IBALIK ANG MGA MAY GOLDEN MINDS SA GOBYERNO AT UMPISAHANG ITAMA ANG MGA NAGING MALI.
It is true that Erap may not have “it” to implement reforms but I believe that during the process the future leaders that we deserve may surface and prove themselves before us. Ngayon, kung ayaw na talaga ni Erap, aba’y better…it would be the best time to hold snap elections.
Malabo iyan sa mga nakaupo sa Pilipinas ngayon. Naglalakihan nga ang mga billboards with their pictures, self-praises and all na akala mo talaga sila ang gumastos when in fact kalahati ng perang binigay for the completion of their projects napunta na sa bulsa nila.
It’s obscene in fact, and worse is when the projects have been suggested merely to get fundings from overseas with those involved in the deal getting their respective commissions as in the case of the ZTE/NBN deal na kasama pa iyong promotor na civilian, the Fatso, who pretends to be innocent and holy and trying hard to be by claiming kinship with some Catholic saint!!! Ewwwwww!!! Nakakakilabot!
TAMA KA, YSTAKEI…PATALSIKIN NA NGAYON SI GLORIA AT IBALIK ANG NORMALCY AT KATINUAN SA GOBYERNO. IF WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR IT, SO BE IT…NO PAIN -NO GAIN.
Fr. Panlilio? I reserve further comment about him, Cocoy. What makes you think he’s good as President? What makes you think he’s chosen by God? Inamin niya ang pagtanggap ng pera dahil gusto niyang maunahan ang iba. First, he said he didn’t believe it was a bribe. Then later, he said he believes it’s a bribe. He said he didn’t know what was inside? He claimed the bag was only given to him by Gov. Mendoza? Ikaw ba naman na may tinanggap na isang bag hindi ka curious kung ano ang nasa loob? Kung sinabi kay Gov. Mendoza para sa Barangay at Community projects, tiyak na iyan din ang sabi kay Panlilio. How could Panlilio now say he didn’t know what was inside? May mga inconsistencies sa mga sinabi niya. Like what I said, inunahan lang niya tayo at ang media dahil alam niyang puputok. The priests have 6th sense. Back to presidency, Panlilio has to clean up his province first before thinking of the presidency if that’s what you suggest, Cocoy. Malakas pa rin ang jueteng sa Pampanga. Hindi pa niya magalaw sina Pineda. This I can tell you…no matter how good and holy one is, he cannot stand the heat and dirt of the politics. Let me say again that Isabela’s Gov. Padaca used her “righteousness” slogan to be elected. Wala na bang jueteng sa Isabela?
Snap elections is our topic at ayon sa may-ari ng blog, suportahan natin ang panawagan ni Sen. Trillanes. Samakatuwid, ang tanong: Payag ba tayo o hindi sa Snap Election? Para sa akin, lahat na paraan para mapalayas si glorya sa pwesto, call ako. At itong Snap Election ay isang pamamaraang demokratito kung isasabatas ang pagpayag ng administrasyon sa hakbanging ito.
Halimbawang magkaroon nga, at salamat sa Diyos at dininig at ating panalangin, kung si Glorya ay kakandidato pa, sino ang pwedeng kalaban na may tsansang manalo sa isang tunggaliang one-on-one? Kaliskisan natin.Si Villar ba, Lacson, Roxas, Pangilinan, Legarda, Noli de Castro, Gordon, Miriam, Meloto, Panlilio at kung sino-sino pang may burning presidential ambition. At kung walang hadlang para lumahok sa election, si Erap ba?
Snap election ito, konting panahon ang kampanya, the most ay one month. Sino sa palagay natin ang may built-in mass support sa mga nasa itaas na kahit hindi na umikot sa buong kapuluan ay makakahatak ng boto? Sa aking opinyon, si Erap yon!
At kahit ilan ang kumandidato dahil ayaw magbigayan as usual, balikan natin ang kwento ng presidential elections ng 1998 na anim o pito ang contenders. Erap Estrada still emerged with the undisputed biggest margin with JDV coming a poor second. This time around, name recall, popularity and coupled with being persecuted, prosecuted and jailed for 6 long years, Erap has the edge. Based on the surveys conducted several times making Erap still on top in public perception, alikabok ang kakanin ni glorya.
Sino ba ang ayaw ng snap election? Lahat tayo. Kahit sinong lumaban kay GMA basta patas at walang daya mananalo. But will she agree to a snap election? The answer is a big NO. She has learned the lesson from history. She’s not stupid to follow what Marcos did in agreeing to a snap election. Topic nga itong snap election dito sa thread pero uulit-ulitin kong hindi mangyayari iyan dahil hindi papayag ang Impakta.
Kaibigan Pechanco at Cocoy: Maki sabad na nga ako.
Snap Election: Why limit it to the President, why not all levels after all the nation needs new mandate. If we have to spend, spend it wisely. Changing the President will not cure the present situation.
Presidentiables: Definitely not Ping, I dont think he will be a good president. Whats important to Ping is his objectives, if he agreed with FPJ and set aside his Presidential ambition for a while, wala sana tayo sa ganitong problema dito sa kay bansot. ERAP if and when he will be given the chance, I strongly believe that he has the ability and the political will to correct his past mistake, and besides he knows that he will be under the microscope.
Think about it simplicity of Magsaysay, the wit of Marcos, the Charm of Imelda, the masa appeal or Erap and totally disregard any attributes from Gloria.
Sino ang iboboto natin pag nag karoon ng snap election? ang sa akin lang, sana ay tumakbo si Governor Panlilio for President.
GOV PANLILIO FOR PRESIDENTTTTTTTTTttttttttt…
Ayaw kong pagtiyagaan si Vice Kabayad, accomplished s’ya ni Gloria sa katiwalaan kasi palaging his lips are sealed!
Snap election, iyan ang tama!
“Bakit naman tayo magkaroon ng radikal na pagbabago tapos ang ilalagay lang naman natin ay isang hindi nakipag-laban para sa katotohanan at hustisya. Nagsasayang lang tayo ng pagod.”
Korek ka diyan, Ellen.
Pinalagpas ni Kabayad ang napakaraming pagkakataon para ipakita sa atin na karapat-dapat siyang mamuno pero yango lang ng yango sa katiwalian ng kanyang pangulo.
Snap election ang ating kailangan. Marami tayong pagpipilian na ipapalit sa pekeng Gloria at Noli.
Kung si Kabayad Noli lamang ang ipapalit, ‘wag na lang, better the devil we know. That would only be a waste of time. Para silang panutsa, kahit saan mo tingnan, walang pagkaiba, panutsa pa rin.
Martina,
Ang galing ng description mo sa mag-amo, PANUTSA!
SA totoo lang, sumikat itong si Noli dahil ang kanyang programang “Magandang Gabi Bayan” sa ABS-CBN ay nakakarating sa liblib na lugar sa ating bansa. Di katulad ng mga programa sa Channel 7 na kung ikaw ay nakatira sa likod ng bundok malabo na ang signal at mga mukha ni Mel at Mike. Kaya si Jay natalo dahil ‘di siya kilala roon sa likod ng Mt. Apo.
Kaya ang akala ng buong madla, si Noli ay tagapagtanggol ng Bayan. Iyon pala tiga-basa lang ng news at mga artikulo ng mga researchers nya. Maraming nadali sa kanyang brand na “Kabayan”.
Hindi lang ‘to nagkulang sa paninindigan, kundi’y wala ding sintido-komon. Biro mo, number 1 ka sa survey, ‘tapos tatakbo ka lang bilang Vice-President ng isang mang-aagaw ng puwesto na noong una’y ayaw daw tumakbo ngunit tatakbo rin pala.
Kaya tama lang na silang dalawa ay bumaba o patalsikin na.
Let me tell you why I don’t quite agree to a spiritual leader becoming a President and running the country. Halimbawa na lang si Manalo ng INK ang maging Presidente, can we expect him not to be bias? Of course he will take good care more of his INK members and treat Catholics as second citizens. Halimbawang si Bro. Mike Velarde ang maging President, would he not take good care more of his El Shaddai members and all the other El Shaddai properties. What if a priest (even former) become the President, baka madagdagan ang mga Fiesta at Catholic holidays sa bansa.
Ganito na lang, Penchanco:
Kung inyong mararapatin, sino sa iyong paniniwala ang pinaka-qualified na mamuno sa atin at sa anong paraan siya pwedeng mag-assume ng naturang position?
Salamat po.
Si Noli ay kailan man hindi naging tagapagtanggol ng bayan. Taga salo ng biyaya ng bayan, puwede pa. Walang iba iyan sa sikat na election slogan ni Enrile na “Problema Mo Sagot Ko” na naging “Problema ni GMA Sagot Ko”. Ang Magandang Bayan Gabi ni Noli at mga programa niya ay balitang ginamit niya sa pag-extort ng mga tao. For instance, if there’s a company or business that violated a law or someone complained against a company or a person, Noli’s staff (with his blessing of course) would approach the respondent and demand pay-off. Kung hindi tuloy ang birada sa programa niya. Sa lengguahe ng journalism, tawag diyan ay “Attack & Collect”. Alam ni Ellen iyan. Diyan din magaling ang mga Tulfo brothers. Nang hindi pinagbigyan ni Lacson si Mon Tulfo, nagalit ang huli at siniraan ang senador. Since Noli became Senator and then now Vice President, walang ginagawa iyan. You can see him playing golf with gambling lords most of the time or traveling abroad. He keeps a low profile, though. Less talk, less mistakes. Isa pa, ano ba naman ang sasabihin niya eh talaga naman walang alam.
As to your question who I think is the best qualified to be President, well…hindi pa ipinanganganak.
ok si Erap pero if he wins against GMA for three years lang ang term..and then totohanan ng election. Ang unconditional pardon na sinasabi niya is just like admitting guilt..pero hindi mo rin siya masisi pagod na siya after all 71 years old na siya at I wonder how his health is..snap election..no campaigning..no billboards..isang question sino ang gusto ng mga tao?..no vote buying..expenses should only be limited to actual election expenses..sueldo sa mga poll watchers, etc. Walang bigayan ng pera sa mga tao..donations, gifts or whatever..legitimate expenses lang..walang flying voters..
Ano ba kayo? Doon sa ipinakita noong pari, I don’t see why he should be pushed to run for president. Not worth it, I bet you! Hintayin ko na lang makalabas si Senator Trillanes and then he sets things right para iyong mabobotong presidente hindi lang matino kundi talagang titino!,/B>
Cocoy: hindi ba ang sabi ni Gloria kinausap niya ang Dios at siya ang sabi dapat na panggulo. If I remember right nag bible cut siya..at ganoon din ang sabi ni Art Panganiban..how will we know if the person is the chosen one? hayaan mo itatanong ko sa mga Hudeo..hindi ba they are the chosen ones? Iiwan ko ang tanong sa Wailing Wall in Jerusalem..
Frankly, speaking, ayoko noong pari for president after what he showed he is NOT capable of doing against evil!!! Pwe!!! Tao rin pala siya!!!
Reminds me of a friend who called me “unggoy” before that I almost got offended. Buti na lang sinabi niya, “Ako din unggoy kasi hindi ako lalakero. Iyon kasing mga pilipinang nanlalaki, ang katwiran nila, “Pagkat kami ay TAO lamang!”
Correct ka, ystakei. Hindi porke Pari okay na maging Presidente. Ang hirap sa mga tao, akala napaka-banal ang mga Pari. What Gov. Panlilio must do is to clean up his backyard first before aiming for higher position. Insulto pa nga sa kanya na i-suggest na maging Presidente siya. Trillanes..okay…but he’s not eligible yet due to his age. Presidential candidate should be 40 and above, I think.
hindi ako believe sa pari take the case of Aristide..Jesuit pa ata..nagimprove ba ang Haiti?
Kung sinasabi ni Totie..”simplicity of Magsaysay..” mayroon ako in mind pero bata pa to be a candidate at nasakulungan..si Erap is a good one to run..pero three years lang..till 2010. That will give the people time to think seriously..walang bilihan..
And jab..wala nang maykaya na gumastos naubos na ang pera ng bayan..
i just want to say na agree ako sa snap election. kahit anong paraan para mapalitan ang present administration. sad to say pero parang malabo ito mangyari. sobrang kapal ng mukha ng nakaupo na hindi na sya mapupuknat sa kanyang pwesto. kapit tuko itong tinatawag nating panggulo.
Iboboto ko si Gloria pag ang election is a SNAP her NECK.
Si Noli de Castro naman tulog sa election…Noli iS taking a NAP. Kaya nagiiSNAP siya.
Rose, “though I am from Antique” magkababayan pala tayo eh! Antique rin ako, tayo lang magkababayan, si Ellen Antique din ito Eh! hindi si kabayan Noli. Ok rin si Lorin, hindi ko naman siya masyadong kilala. kilala yata siya ng kapatid ko. Ellen di ba Antique ka rin?.
Isang malaking exclamation point ang dapat na ibigay dyan!
BASTOS!
Sabi nga sa isang eksena sa basketbolahan, “Chot, SUB!” (at sumisenyas pa ng ekis).
Kapag nagkaroon na naman ng eleksyon, magpipyesta na naman ang mga negosyante.
Alam ko na ang dahilan kung bakit kailangan na mag-eleksyon dahil may nakaluto na.
Ang proteksyunan ang kani-kanilang mga negosyo.
Sino ba ang may akda ng protectionism noong panahon na mainit ang GATT noong 90’s?
Hindi ito kinagat ng taumbayan dahil sariwa pa sa isipan na kung sino ang ibong mandaragit.
Mas abala ang taumbayan nuon na popular ang diwa ng centennial.
Bakit hindi nyo itulak ang Joey Concepcion versus Mar Roxas presidency, para ipakita ang labanan ng mga magkakamag-anak?
O di kaya ay si Hilarious Davide for President at sya ang maging director ng pelikulang “William HOWARD Taft END”?
Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit hindi magkaroon ng swift and decisive dyan sa inidoro dahil may kamag-anak na director?
Kung magpa-STATE hood kaya tayo sa Amerika? Hindi ba’t mas marami ang matutuwa na FIL-AM?Dahil feeling nila na PROBINSYANA na nga ang Pilipinas?
Dito sa callcenter na pinagtatrabahuhan ko, alam nila kung anong klaseng utot ang meron dyan sa Amerika lalo na kung ito ay nagmula sa Hollywood. Pero ang utot ni Gloria dyan sa Glori-eta, wala na silang paki-alam dahil alam naman nila na mabaho ito.
Kung papipiliin ako, bubuhayin ko ang SUBIC BAY REPUBLIC dahil may First Lady na!

Nelbar: Ano ba ang Fil-Am? Either you are Filipino or American.
Tama si totie… Like me, I am a US citizen,but, Flipino at heart and blood. So, being American is documented on paper only… I still can’t change the fact that I look pinoy and raise with Philippine culture pa rin…
By the way, basta walang Gloria. Snap elections or people power, or we can do both? People power first of course… I’m all for it…
What about this: TRILLANES FOR PRESIDENT!
tute:
alam mo ang salitang Fil-Am, hiniram mo lang yan sa mga Kano.
Kaya nga gusto ka niyang makana.
Ang sabi dyan ay pilam – mula sa salita ng bulol na bata.
pahilam – pahiram
gusto ko palagi ang nanghihiram
Ang pasko ay tuwing a-beinte singko lang ng Disyembre.
I would suggest Trillanes or Lacson to replace GMA either one of them can make the country rise again
How about MVP (Manny Pangilinan of PLDT). I think he will make a good president dahil mahusay mag-manage ng tao at organization. Low profile at made na (no need for large kickbacks).
What do you think guys/gals. MVP for President!
pedrocarpio: Loren’s grandmother is a Gella, from Pandan.
My parents are from Sibalom/San Remigio but I grew up in San Jose. Ellen is from Guisian/Sibalom. Nakadiin kaw?
Bakit hindi natin subukan si Manny Paquiao, bilang isang popular?
Kailangan ng bansa natin ang mga mala-MP o Melrose Place na masisilungan.
Nang sa gayon ang mga magiging Mambabatas Pambansa natin ay magkaroon ng kani-kanilang mga reyna.
O kaya ang mga taxi driver natin ay magkaroon naman ng maayos na tirahan o matutuluyan.
Hindi lang yan, dapat sana pati yung mga Military-Police natin bigyan din ng sapat na pangangailangan para sa kanilang nasasakupan.
nelbar: A ganon ba? Di ko alam yon, pasensiya na igan kasi di naman ako Fil-Am o sabi mo nga Pilam. Pinoy kasi ako. Buti ka pa maraming Fil-Am friends na kilala, kasi ako either Pinoy lang or Kano di namin alam ang Pilam. Di bat ikaw ang gumamit ng salitang Fil-Am di ikaw ang nanghihiram, bakit gusto mong maging Pilam?
Kung ganoon ang tinggin ng mga barkada mo o kilala mong Pilam na ang Pinas ay probinsya na lang, no wander why di namin kilala yan. Besides don’t generalize, for you dont know us here, okay. Pakiusap lang. American company ba ang call center mo?
Besides medyo hinay hinay lang igan, bawal ang bastos dito sa Ellenville. Di ba Ellen?
pustahan tayo, pag may inuupo kayong bago, paaalisin nyo rin tulad ng ginagawa nyo sa iba. kasi… ang mga pinoy, walang kasiyahan. sen. nene pimentel, ata iba pa. natatandaan ko dati na isa kayo sa mga nagpunta sa EDSA II. sa oath taking ni gloria nung na oust si erap… pinaglalaruan nyo ba ang political system ng pinas?? kung sino ang gusto nyong iupo eh iuupo nyo.. simple lang naman eh, ang opinyon nyo ay hindi ka siguradong opinyon ng nakararami. mag isip po tayo, alam kong matatalino kayong lahat, at alam kong alam nyo ang mga sinsabi nyo. pinoy, merong tayong mga sistema. pairalin natin ito, kung hindi walang katapusan itong mangyayari dito sa pinas. lahat ng mga iuupo ninyong mga presidente ay mapapaalis ng dahil lang sa mga opinyon ng iilan.
Bet na naman.
Pusta ang kinabukasan?
Ang nangyari sa Glorietta ay isang pagpapakita na binubutas na ang social volcano.
Para butasin pa, bakit hindi gumamit ng jack hammer?
Ang demokrasya sa Pilipinas ay isang pagpapakita na parang sa Cowboy.
Naglalabasan sila ng kani-kanilang mga baril. Meron boga, magnum .357, cal.38, forty five.
Palakasan kung baga.
Sa pelikulang Back to the Future the series, nandun ang eksena ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.
Umaasa tayo na sa Amerika ang solusyon. Kung hindi naman ay sa UK. Usok na pala.
Kaya nga US-UK, iluto mo kakainin ko.
Kaya nga may kasabihan na, “Nandito na ako sa kutson, bakit pa ako bababa sa sahig?”
Rose: taga Hamtic ako, magkasunod lang ang bayan natin, that’s what i know Ellen is Antiquenia. si Loren alam ko ang kapatid niyang lalaki, nag pupunta ako noon sa bahay nila sa Caloocan kasi nandoon ang kapatid ko.
Bakit hindi natin subukan si Manny Paquiao, bilang isang popular? Nelbar, ano kaya sa tingin mo, manalo kaya si Manny Paquiao? porke ba nanalo siya sa boxing manalo rin sa politika? ano ang gagawin niya pag susuntukin ang mga tauhan niyang magnanakaw? hindi pa pwede si Manny sa mga panahon na ito, iwan ko lang yan lang ang paniniwala ko.
pedrocarpio:
bakit hindi mo subukan na magmascot na ikaw ay isang punching bag?
at may nakalagay na ‘hit me with your best shot’, dahil magnanakaw ako?
bakit hindi mo subukan mo na magbilyar kayo para maging magka-fuckner kayong dalawa?
Nelbar, bakit ka mapikon? bakit tinamaan ka ng suntok ni Manny? ikaw ang nag sabi na si Manny ang gusto mong maging presidente mo. kayo dapat mg fucker na dalawa di ba?
sorry Ellen sa words ko.
fuckner pala sila
magpatuli ka muna kasi, gusto mo palang matuto?
may pa-sorry-sorry ka pa?
alam ko na ang kanta mo?
“may pa-sorry sorry ka pa?, kumanta kana kumanta ka?”
kay curfew lang takot ka!
hindi ka naman marunong sumisid eh?
Ok sana ang Snap Election kung ang lahat ng nasa ugat ng dayaan ay mapapalitang lahat. Ito aya walang iba kundi ang Korniklec (Comelec pala). Sayang lang ang kaban ng bayan kung ang dati pa rin ang mamamahala sa nasabing suhestiyon ni Mighty Ellen and Sen. Sonny III.
At kung impeach naman, sayang din lahat ng laway ng mga mamamayan na totoong tumutuligsa ngayon sa nakakasukang namamahala sa atin. Tama ka Mighty Ellen si “Kabayag Noli” ay wala naman talagang ginawa eversince when he took the Senate (buti di ko sya ibinoto kahit kailan). Sayang lang ang pinapasahod natin sa mga walanghiyang tao na ito. Kung sabagay, Kabayag Noli’s silence of all these unscrupolous scandals and crime is the least thing he could do because he was one of the beneficiaries of the 2004’s Fraudulent Election. At siyempre pa, ang hinde nya pag-iingay ay iwas pusoy na rin para sa 2010 na plano nyang pagtakbo. In other words, Kabayag Noli wanted to hit 2 birds in 1 stone.
Paano kaya kung SiNAP eleksyon tapos, ang lalaban ay si Noli Cabahag din tapos ang Kabise niya ay si Makalinta1?
Ay sus! nilintian ang labanan nyan!
cocoy;
I agree the way you define Leadership which is an influencing…norm. You have also the line…bringing out constructive change. But sad to say this constructive change is not happening in the present administration but instead it brought us a desctructive changes which give us a divided nation. We must learn from this lesson that a good leader should be famous, came from a great leaders’s side and have have a PH or DR degree from a well known Unvirsities/Colleges abroad (just like Glue-r-yuck) but instead he/she must have the ability to gain respect and be respected from the society regardless of what he/she is
The Equalizer, I agree with you that the Philippines does not have “a political opposition in this country(i.e,no principled opposition).” (October 23rd, 2007 at 12:22 am).
When Erap asked/requested or whatever for some sort of a Presidential pardon, I was convinced that the whole brouhaha of Pro-Gloria vs Pro-Erap groups was all a creation of Gloria & her spinmeisters. What is real is either one is Pro-Gloria or Anti-Gloria. There really is no middle ground now especially after the ZTE Broadband thingy, the Brown Bag Briberies that happened in the Malacanan. Come to think of it, Erap was out of the equation the moment he took the barge & left the Palace. Keeping the Pro-Gloria vs Pro-Erap groups alive was part of Gloria’s political survival.
To me, the Glorietta 2 bombing unmasked Gloria & narrowed down things to Pro-Gloria & Anti-Gloria. And so finally, there is a viable plan – Snap Elections !
Hahahahahaha! Rose, Art Panganiban? I doubt if God listens to him likewise. Fornicator din iyan kapareho ni Erap!!!
Pacquiao for President? Hello!??? Ni sa balwarte nga nya ‘di sya nanalo dahil inilampaso sya ni Darlene Custodio tapos for president pa? Ewww! That’s gross! Alam naman natin na Glue-r-yucker’s din ang tao na ito…one of the supporters ika nga ni pandak. But one thing for sure, ni unang letra ng name nya di ko isusulat sa balota kung tatakbo sya for pres.
ayaw mo ng Money Fuckyaw, eh di sumayaw ka na lang?
How about the idea of Darna!
Angel Locsin?
Oh kaya magpa PBB, PRESIDENTIABLE EDITION.
Walang tinginan sa CAmera?
Ayus ba yun direk? este banker pala?
Chabs, The Equalizer,
I think real opposition is found not among the elected officials but in the voters. The voters elected some senators on the basis of their platform “opposition” but once again, most of these senators disappointed us — they never meant to be in the Opposition.
It’s up to the people to oppose — can no longer trust our those we voted to represent us, many of them.

pedrocarpio,
Ellen and Rose are cousins.
After all the denials, the League of Governors (of course identified with Malacanang) now claim ownership of the cash gifts. Tongue ina nila…it took them a week to admit it. Hindi na kasi makalusot.

Kung nitong nakaraan nga na May 2007 National Election ‘di ko ginamit ang OAV (Overseas Absentee Voting) kay Mani Pinaltaw pa kaya? Kung siya lang naman ang tatakbo for that position (as pres.)…what a waste of time going to the embassy! Let’s see kung magiging abogago nga itong si Mani Pinaltaw. Baka naman pag ‘di nya naintindihan at masagot ang exam nya, bigla nya na lang na boksingin ang papel at bantay nya sa exam, sabay sabing….Laban ko ‘to! Lol!
pedrocarpio,
OK, welcome here. 🙂
Ako din Totie! Don’t know if my vote was counted.
I voted, too. Si Trillanes nga lang ang nasa balota ko!
With the multi party system we have now in the Philippines, it is correct to say that it’s the people who is the true opposition. Take note that incumbents are affiliated with different parties, may kanya-kanya silang partido.
FVR has his Lakas-Tao with few members. When he won, nakipag-coalesce sa kanya ang Laban ng Partidong Pilipino, naging Lakas-Laban sila ang gained the majority. Erap has even a smaller group with his Partido ng Masang Pilipino and when he won,hindi magkamayaw ang mga sumama sa kanya like Drilon, Villar, Enrile, Angara, Miriam, etc. When glorya grabbed the presidency, naglipatan sa kanya ang mga damuho. Alam natin kung nasaan sila ngayon. Now that tagilid na ang bangka ni glorya, tahimik ang karamihan at tiyak na nagpaparamdam na sa lahat na potential president na sila’y kakampi. It’s the realities of Philippine politics at the moment.
The people is the only strong opposition as we have seen in the last elections. And we’re glad, the bloggers, the cyberspace warriors especially in Ellenville, are among the rabid advocates of good governance siding with the true oppositionist, the people.
Me, I can’t vote because as a Japanese national, I am not allowed to have dual citizenship but I mobilized the OAV in Japan.
Ayaw pa raw ng maraming pilipino sa totoo lang. Nakatulong iyong mga input ko tungkol sa pagsusulong din namin ng absentee voting para sa mga Japanese na simpleng simple compared doon sa mas komplikadong Philippine Election Code at OAV Law dahil sa totoo lang, iyong mga kumag alalang-alalang hindi na sila makakadaya kung may OAV.
At least, dito sa Japan, iyong barkada ko at ako, we try our best to make sure that the ones the criminal has appointed to man the election here cannot and will not be able to cheat. Walang tulugan! At saka, talagang kinukulit namin at binibisto kung anuman ang mali sa pagbilang, etc. Hindi puede sa amin ang tatanga-tanga sa totoo lang.
Fortunately, bawal ang baril sa Japan kaya walang takot at walang makapanakot!!! Halata ko lang na pirming nakabuntot sa amin iyon mga sabit noong military attache.
Sa Pilipinas, tutok baril sa mga botante ang mga ungas lalo na sa probinsiya, and especially sa Mindanao!!!
Hangga’t natatakot ang mga pilipino sa mga walanghiya, wala talagang mangyayari. Dapat na talagang mag-aklas ang mga taumbayan! Enough is enough!
Ilan pa ba ang dapat mamatay na pilipino para matauhan ang lahat? Kawawang Pilipinas!!!
Dahil di papayag si Gloria at Noli sa election dahil sayang ang 3 years pang kikitain, sige para na lang matuloy, after all kung talagang public service ang gustong gawin ng mga politiko, ipakita nyo , Election na kung election lahat ng level. NATIONAL ELECTION, para walang turuan. Lahat kayo subject yourself to the fresh mandate. We dont need the congress to pass more laws, we already have so much, so pwede tayong mag exist without them for a year.
Yung mga korte na walang silbi dahil ineffective na because of excessive politicking dissolve and replace, masyado ng compromised ang mga ito. Yung mga may record na Ambassador, recall. Total overhaul. Kung si Gloria lang ang papalitan di magagamot ang sakit. Six years term is too long make it shorter – 4 years is enough.
Four years? Totie, the criminal has been there since 2001 illegally!!!
Patalsikin na, now na!
We proved it over and over again, it is not the President per se that is the problem but rather the system. Bulok ang sistema.
When Marcos was in power, siya ang contrabida, so sinipa si Marcos, pumalit si Cory, may nangyari ba?,
Ng si Tabako ang pumalit na solve ba ang problema? Rather, the nation felt the effect of his misdoing after the fact.
Pinalitan ni Bigote, ano ang resulta?
Ngayon itong si Pandak ganoon din.
Sino naman ang susunod? Siguro ang dapat talagang tingnan na mabuti ay ang Sistema ng ating government, mga batas na ipinatutupad, at nagpapatupad, masyadong maraming loopholes. Pag may loopholes may paraan, pag may paraan na di alam ng lahat, may Graft and Corruption. Simple lang.
I thought Erap would show more bravado by refusing any pardon from the criminal, but reports say he is accepting pardon by the criminal that contrary to his lawyers’ request I doubt would ever be unconditional, etc.
Wala talaga siyang kadala-dala ano? Wala rin palang yagbols!!! Matapang lang pala siya sa pelikula although I have not seen any of his movies except for the documentary that the criminal would not allow to be shown in the Philippines.
Kawawang Pilipinas!
Ystakei,
Agree “Now Na”. At least no guilty feelings on my side for I did not rejoice when they proclaimed her as the illegal President. Right from day one when they walked out during the impeachment, I told my self, THE END.
Problema, Totie, ang laki ng pinagbago ng mga pilipino—lalong nawalan ng moralidad at delikadeza with a criminal running the government like hell!!!
Both the system and the GLORC suck. Kaya nga sabi ko, palabasin si Sonny Trillanes para makagawa siya ng batas that will change all—hindi lang titino iyong mga kurakot kundi iyon lang mga matitino ang makakaupo!!! In fact, it’s now high time to teach Filipinos more sense of responsibility. Hindi na puede iyong choice between two evils, o iyong parang trial and error o kahit na iyong parang hit and run procedure especially since 1986.
Patalsikin na, now na!
I believed Erap already reached the point where he realized there is no way to win the case for no lower court will reverse what the Supreme Court position. In a way, good tactical move for him. Now, if he is pardoned unconditionally without admitting any guilt, this is when he can be dangerous. It will be better for him to do his fight outside and in the open.
OK lang to seek unconditional pardon si Erap. “Almost everybody’ ay alam na wala siyang sala! So, walang mawawala sa kanya, he has everything to gain.

Pechanco,
I’m abroad but I voted.
—-Kaya pala (a)broadminded ka nasa abroad ka. I never voted ’cause I’m under aged.
Seriously speaking, talaga bang naka-count ang mga votes abroad? Anong paraan ang ginagawa para mabantayan ang pagboto abroad. The Philippine Embassy and Consulate are all under GMA’s government.
We dont know, but according to my friend in New York, they watched the actual canvassing and it appears that it was done properly.
I know for a fact I have Sonny in my list but not Honasan.
Four years lang ang term and then kung okay ang performance extended for another 2 para makatipid ng gastos, but if we have a real electronic voting system, we can have election monthly of weekly if they want.
On the other hand, Totie, like what I wrote in another loop, Japan and the Philippines had practically the same beginning with the US supervising their nation building and rebuilding after WWII with laws patterned after those of the US.
I don’t adhere to the fallacy that Japan is sweet apple and the Philippines a rotten sour orange. In fact, the Philippines had a better foundation being a Christian country for over 400 years while Japan was closed, though not totally, to the rest of the world. The Philippines was supposed to be more westernized and sophisticated as a matter of fact.
Ang kaso, pinamayani kasi ang utak alipin sa mga pilipino, and the gap between the rich and poor encouraged even by the Americans so that the US occupation of the Philippines was in fact filled with agrarian uprisings and strikes especially in the 20’s and 30’s, and saw the birth of such groups as the Sakdal. In fact, the US was wise to exile a lot of the rebels to Hawaii, and make Rizal a national hero, because Rizal actually did not support the KKK.
Japan developed better because the Japanese knew who they were while the Filipinos, suffering from some kind of colonial mentality, thought they would be better off identifying themselves as Fil-Ams!!! In fact, that was the concept about Filipinos over here in the 60’s. Nabago na nga lang when the Japayukis started flocking in.
Tapos si bugaw iyan ang No. 1 export, mga pilipino, for her human trafficking program!!! Yuck!!!
How we wish that election is like the early American Election. Voting was done in public no private booth, parang election ng elementary, casting and canvassing at the same time. Sigurado walang flying voters at walang dagdag bawas. Doon makikita ang may balls.
Ystakei:
I thought that in the Asian Marshall Plan (kung meron man) Philippines right from the beginning was destined in the book of the Americans as the primary source of raw materials. How sad to think that of all the Asian countries, the Pinoys fought side by side with the Americans and yet, we were treated like this. For the US to take advantage of the nations rich resources, they have to apply the divide and conquer approach which sadly up to now exist.
Could the difference in US treatment due to the fact that even before the War, Japan already have established business relations with US while Philippines was still a developing agricultural nation? That there were big Japanese companies with substantial loan exposures with US firms?
Yes, those were the days!!! I remember going with my mother when she went to the polls to vote. Over at our place, walang military, just some plainclothes policemen to keep peace and order outside of the polling places.
Then, at night we would go and watch the counting of votes at the town’s community hall, or be plastered to the radio and wait for the announcement of the winning candidates. We would clap for every vote to our favorite candidates. It was fun! Ngayon, takot ang umiiral!!! Kawawa iyong mga nababaril pa sa canvassing like those young college students murdered in Bicol during the last election.
Nakakakulo talaga ng dugo!
I don’t think so. There were no pre-WWII deals, but the Americans had to patronize Japan so that it could pay its debts to the US, and so that it would not turn to Russia or China versus the US.
Remember, China and Russia are nearer to Japan, and with the communists being free and strong as a political group over here, the US could/cannot take chances but try to keep US-Japan friendly ties on equal footing as demanded by the people of Japan unlike the master-slave relationship between the US and the Philippines even now!!! 🙁
Absolutely no pre-WWII, deals there was no deal, however it was logical for the US to rebuild Japan aggressively so they can repay the huge US loans. That we both agree. Besides, guilty feelings din ng mga Puti sa Horoshima plus off course US national interest.
Master Slave – force of habit. They never looked at the Philippines in equal footings. Ginagatasan lang ang ating inang bayan.
Oo nga. Ang laki kasi ng investment para ma elect sa position. Kaya ayon, for sale ang approvals and principles.
ang dami nating opinion and i respect all of that…pero sino talaga ang magandang tumakbo for president? SINO? Si Trillianes, hindi pwede dahil nakakulong. Si among Ed ok na sana kaya lang ayaw nyo ng pari. E sino? Ilabas nyo na ang mga pangalan ng mga kandidato nyo for 2010 para mabigyan natin ng opinion.
Ronnie,
Sana di na seasoned politician, three more years sigurado merong lalabas dyan out of no where. Di pwede and politician.
Why does the Comelec announce its intended arrest of Bedol before they arrest him?
The police and the military are guilty of the same stupidity, too.
The targets of the arrest or of the operations get forewarned. Moronic.
Phil,
Maybe that’s their intention — to warn Bedol so the fellow could get on a Cesna and go to Sabbah.
Point is why is the Comelec the one making the arrest, and not the police on order of the court? Diyan sira ang Pilipinas. Ang daming overlapping of functions. Ang labo talaga. It’s a waste of public funds as a matter of fact.
Ystakei,
“Ang daming overlapping of functions.”
By-design by those stupid law makers and implemented by the equally stupid who knows who, with the belief that those laws or processes were made exclusively for them. Kaya when they are long ang gone, the stupidity becomes so obvious kasi wala ng protector.
un supervised care taker government muna bago mag snap election kundi darayain lang tayong muli katulad ng pandaraya ni gma noong 2004 and 2007 elections.
