Updates: Two impeachment complaints against GMA filed.
Third Arroyo impeachment complaint to be filed soon
A minor distraction – Bunye
Mukhang naisahan na naman ang madlang Pilipino. Nagsama-sama na naman ang manloloko.
Sa meeting ng Lakas-NUCD noong Sabado, ayun sa report, napagkasunduan ng tatlong mga tuso – si Gloria Arroyo, House Speaker Jose de Venecia at si dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos na magtulungan.
Kaya hindi alisin si JDV na speaker at siyempre hayaan na ni JDV na patayin ang pekeng impeachment complaint na pinagpipilitan nina Arroyo para libre na siya sa loob ng isang taon sa impeachment.
Ano naman kaya ang kay FVR? Hindi na halungkatin ang Centennial scam? Kahit anong oras kasi pwedeng buhayin yun at sampahan siya ng plunder.
Kulang na lang doon sa miting si dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada na mukhang kasabwat dito sa pagtulak ng pekeng Pulido impeachment complaint.
Di ba dito sa Pulido complaint nasigawan si JDV ni trapolita Gloria? Pinipilit ni Arroyo na itulak yun kahit walang laman at katawa-tawa. Sabi nga ni Rep. Ronaldo Zamora, si JDV ang binabanatan doon sa Pulido complaint.
Naisulong yun dahil nag-inhibit si JDV . Ang ibang alagad ni Arroyo na sina Rep. Raul del Mar at Rep. Arthur Defensor ang nagkumahog na makarating sa Justice Committee.
Ang isang impeachment complaint na sinusulong ng isang grupo ng oposisyon
ay ang isinampa ni dating Rep. Rolex Suplico laban na dating Comelec Commissioner Benjamin Abalos. Habang sinusulat ko ito, sinabi ng ibang taga-oposisyon na doon nila isali si Arroyo dahil mas malaman yun tungkol sa kriminal nilang ginagawa sa NBN/ZTE na kontrata.
Ang problema dito sa impeachment complaint ay nakasalalay sa tulong ni JDV. Wala naman kasing numero ang oposisyon. Paano ngayon yan at mukhang umatras si JDV laban kay GMA para lang maisalba ang kanyang pagka-speaker. Biro mo kahit sinigawan na siya noong isang linggo, pa smile-smile pa sila sa kamera noong Sabado, Ang mga pulitiko talaga.
Si Joey de Venecia, ang anak ni JDV na siyang nagbulgar ng milyon-milyon na kurakutan ay nasa Amerika ngayon. Manoood raw ng concert nina Sting ng Police, ang isang sikat na banda.
Manood lang ba talaga ng concert o umepekto ang death threat ni Secretary Leandro Mendoza ng Department of Transportation and Communication na sianbi ni retired Gen. Jimmy de los Santos?
Maganda na nag-aaway ang mga magnanakaw kasi doon natin nalalaman ang kani-kanilang baho. Sila-sila ang magsisiraan at magpatayan. Ngayon na nagsama-sama na naman sila, ang talo dito ay ang taumbayan.
Sinabi mo pa Ellen, Pagsama-samahin mo ang kinulimbat ng apat na yan .. Ramos, Erap, JDV at yang Glorya at ang asawa nito …. barya lang ang kay Marcos.
Mukhang si Erap ay kasali na rin sa grupo ng tatlo .. so tawagin na lang natin silang “Da 3 Muskitirs & Cinderella” in short puro “GAHAMAN”.
Hindi lang sa centennial scam dapat imbestigahan si tabako. siya ang utak ng bcda law na ang ilang bahagi na pinabilhan ng mga ari arian ng gobyerno na particular na ginagamit ng AFP ay mapunta sa modernization ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas. Subalit ano ang nangyari sa modernization, mga bahay lang ng retired at active generals sa AFP Officers Village ang naging moderno. Dapat ding malaman ng nakakarami na ang lupang kanilang inangkin ay simpleng usapin ng legal land grabbing. Sa halagang P15/sq mtr. Ang mga kawawang Enlisted Personnel sa karatig na lugal o sa AFPEP Village ay ngbayad ng halagang P650/sqmtr na my average na sukat lang na 100 sq mtrs. samantalang sa AFPOVAI ang average lot size is 400 sq mtr. Malulula sa laki at gara ng mga bahay ng mga generals at ibang ranking officers ng AFP at PNP. Saan kaya nggaling ang mga ipinagpatayo nito?
Ang kawawa na naman ay tayong mga pangkaraniwang tao na nag babayad ng buwis.
Buwisit talaga at nakaka inis ang kuha nilang mga magnanakaw. Kulang lang doon sa photo ng mga magnanakaw ay ang HARI nila (si Pig Mike Sr.) kulempto na sana,,,, May Queen, Joker, Alaskador.. may mga alagad pa sa likod nila.
Nakaka inis talaga kung titignan mo ang kuha nila parang sinasabi na na isahan na namin kayo ulit. Tuso talaga. May Hukuman tayo pero baliktad ang paniniwala nila sa BATAS natin. Sila ang bumabaluktot ng batas natin. Hanggang kailan kaya tayo makaka tiis sa pag trato nila. Turing nila sa taong bayan at mga bobo. Hindi tayo makakilos…mga oposisyon ay puro lang DADA sa umpisa hindi naman natatapos ang kanilang ini ingay. Sa Simbahan ay mag iingay lang kung hindi sila mabigyan ng pera. Sino kaya ang tutulong sa atin. Si Uncle Sam kaya… sino… tanong ko lang.
“THE Philippines will get an additional $2 million in military assistance from the United States but only if the Arroyo government shows progress in addressing political killings”
$70 million nga kickback lang ng asawa ni Arroyo … barya lang yan. Mas malaki pang malayo ang kickback ni Abalos .. at mas malaki pa ang ino-offer ni Abalos kay Joey deV … ano ba yan?
Akala ng US chipipay ang ating Bansa … di ba Glorya.
Natanso naman ang taumbayan. Akala ko totoo, bilang na ang araw ni Gloria ayon kay FVR. Paano iyong moral revolution challenge ni JDV? Pitik yag-balls challenge na lang. Tingnan ninyo ang kanilang litrato, mukhang mandarambong. The jokers are together again for the sake of political survival and therefore business as usual.
Noon pa, isinulat ko nang nagpapatawa lang si fvr nang sabihin niyang goria’s days are numbered. Una, totoo namang ang termino ni goria, kung hindi agad mapatalsik, ay sa 2010. At bawat araw, katulad ngayon, may numero. Inuuto lang tayo nitong mga hindi pa tamaan ng kulog na mga ito.
Mas mabuti nang magsama-sama ang tatlo, si goriang walang dangal, si fvr at jdv. At kung gugustuhin ni Erap na sumama na rin, mas liliwanag na ang mundo dahil dalawang pwersa na lang ang magpapang-buno. Ang grupo nila, tawagin kong mga gahaman at takaw pwesto vs the People of the Philippines.
The prevailing culture of impunity gives a wrong sense of power or creates a situation conducive to the abuse of power without any legal consequences. The prevailing feeling within the GMA administration is that they “can get away with anything” by simply issuing denials, making cover-ups or creating distractions ( example: the new “Cha-Cha” move) , distortions by the usual spin doctors and ,of course, bribery attempts.
Kahit na magkakampi lahat itong mga mandarayang ito, ang mga tao pa rin ang masusunod, hindi sila. Alalahanin nila na ang mga sinusunod lang ng mga ito ay ang mga “elite”. Kung ang mga mahihirap na tao ang kikilos, taob silang lahat! Huwag silang pakasisiguro. If there is a lopsided rule, it will not succeed. Marunong lang silang manuhol ng mga tongressmen at senatongs. Makakatapat din sila ng hindi nila kayang tapalan ng pera at puwesto. Malapit na!
Hello Equalizer,
This one is dedicated to you. More power bro!
Freedom
The Freedom
To have my own mind, without others trying to influence me.
The Freedom
To be loved, and not hurt.
The Freedom
To be accepted, and understood.
The Freedom
To make mistakes, and not be judged.
The Freedom
To walk with my head held high, and confidence without others trying to tear me down.
The Freedom
To be me
Carmella Walker
To Gloria and the Palace Gang:
The freedom to swing your arms ends where my nose begins!
Enough is enough!
Nakaka-high blood makita ang litrato ng mga mandurugas. Dapat talagang pasabugin na ang congress pag nag-SONA ang impakta.
kinakamusta ko lang ang ating mga bomb experts na sina sen trillanes, ellen, at ang ating mga bloggers/engineers/bomb experts. sabi ng us bomb experts (wak kayo alala alam kong mas expert kayo, experto sa pang gugugulo ng mga utak, hehehehe) hindi daw bomba. nag alay na ba kayo ng dasal para sa mga namatay sa glorietta? napulitika kasi sila dahil sa inyo. i bet, walang aamin sa kasalanan nyo. parang tulad nyo lang din si gloria na pinag didiskitahan nyo. Bago kayo humusga sa dumi ng iba,tumingin muna kayo sa salamin. baka mas malala pa pala ang ginagawa nyo sa pilipinas kaysa sa ginagawa ni gloria.
” The truth is I am cute and short but I am above gossip.” GMA:April 20, 2001
Knives, your boss, the tiyanak is trying her best to enrage the people so she can eventually declare martial law. She is “guilty” in all counts of extrajudicial killings, bribery, corruption, stealing votes to ensure her victory and all other crimes. And you think she is not capable to stage the Glorietta massacre? Think again?
PARASABAYAN:
I’m 100% convinced that Gloria will do a Musharraf and declare martial law to perpetuate herself in power for the following reasons:
1)George W. Bush will not disagree.Therefore she must do it while he still in power.(The next U.S. President may be a Democrat and may not tolerate her move).
2)The Neocons and ex-generals dominate the cabinet (Gonzalez, Puno, Ermita,Mendoza,Ebdane,Reyes,etc.).
3)The “Genuine Opposition” AND Erap have been co-opted.
4)$100/ barrel cost of oil will have very adverse economic consequences.
5)She will use the “threat of terrorism” as a pretext.
Martial Law is very real The Equalizer!
Never Again!
Knives, may 200 kang natanggap sa boss mo?
knives,
Ang nagsasabing may ganyang report ang FBI, Aussies , etc… e PNP mismo… but the actual report of these int’l group, e wala pang inilalabas ang PNP… weird di ba?
Also last week, nag-demo sila sa TV kung paano maaring sumabog ang DIESEL sa open area and closed area…. malakas nga ang pagsabog … dahil ang siste ginamitan nang detonator ( in short, gumamit ng maliit na bomba in both cases ) …
obvious na obvious yung fireball sa pagdetonate nila sa diesel sa isang close area…
need we say more?
again… no one can violate the laws of Physics and Chemistry… and I mean no one! that includes the PNP, AFP, GMA and her cohorts!
piping dilat,
Apparently GMA and company think they are above all
“laws” be it natural or constitutional, they have people like knives who can expect us to believe the poso negro explosion theory and blame the Malabanans.
juggernaut,
that is the reason why i am more certain that they have something to do with that incident… they have to resort to these pathetic twisting of facts to cover up their dastardly act; “there were no evidence of bomb on site” but earlier reported the presence of RDX…haven’t you notice how very inconsistent their story was? and how much they are banking on the FBI , Aussies, etc “agreeing” with their story of the septic gas explosion incident?… and yet they can not explain the mechanics of the explosion convincingly… they should have studied their sciences well … tsk tsk tsk….
so if they have to go thru all this trouble fortifying their story in stead of simply acknowledging the simpliest explanation of it all… that a bomb was used in Glorietta 2… tells me that they are trying very hard to cover up for someone … obviously not the Jamah Islamiyah…
If it weren’t for the noise generated by the commentators, the bloggers, and all those who are speaking their mind out against the “gas” bullshit that the government is foisting on the people, then the coverup would have been a
fait accompli.
Tapos ang boksing. Nagoyo na naman tayo.
Luckily, the collective hue and cry has forced Razon and Barias to accept that the bomb theory cannot be discounted.
Any one with a modicum of common sense would know that a gas explosion could NOT have caused such damage.
And, a methane explosion with no fire? Please.
Piping Dilat,
The PNP gas theory hangs on It’s what they call junk science.
So knives, after reading all the comments to your post earlier, do you still think that we don’t want to accept the PNP version of the incident because it is simply politics why we suspect that the administration has something to with this?
So knives, after reading all the comments to your post earlier, do you still think that we don’t want to accept the PNP version of the incident because it is simply politics ?
Baka isa sa mga pakawala ni Luli yang si knives, di kaya?
The issue about martial is not “IF” but WHEN”.
That’s Gloria’s last ace.
But ,unlike the Marcos declaration,the gloria version will not last as long and will eventually FAIL :
1)We are now an interconnected-global village.There is now more “connection” among concerned people of the world (not among nations).
2)The power of blogs.(”Free Burma”)
3)8 million OFWs abroad.
4)It’s not a monolithic military.
5)CNN,BBC
6)Most importantly,the power of one who will really say “NEVER AGAIN” and mean it.
See Conrado de Quiroz’s article in today’s Inquirer and you will have an idea why it is “WHEN” and not “IF”.
Brace yourselves for more of the unano’s tricks.
Bunye said, “despite the minor distraction, the President will remain laser-focused on her principal task of governing this nation.”
She’s focused on one thing: bribe people so she could remain in power.
Never have I seen one so liliputian in size with such gargantuan appetite and greed for power.
Amen, AdB
“Never have I seen one so liliputian in size with such gargantuan appetite and greed for power.ADB”
Gloria est tellement petite qu’on voit ses pieds sur la photo d’identité!
AMAZING COINCIDENCES of Two Presidents
(Gloria and Bushie)!
* Both are children of former Presidents.
* Both assumed power in 2001.
* Both have resorted to lies,deceptions and cover-ups.
* Both have relied on master spin doctors( Karl Rove,Ronnie Puno)
* Both have big credibility gaps with their respective people
* Both have been widely critised in terms personal dishonesty & dishonesty in government.
* Both have have record low job-approval ratings.
* Both incumbents will face the harsh judgment of history(worst presidents ever?)
Hahahahah! Vous êtes incorrigible The Equalizer mais en même temps, tellement drole!
The truth is never exposed more clearly than through satire!
Silang tatlo ba ang pinagmulan noong alamat ng tatlong unggoy: “No say, no hear, no see?” He he he. . .
“AMAZING COINCIDENCES of Two Presidents”
and both might finish their terms!
AsD3rd:
No.
One will fill finish his term and be replaced by a Democratic President in 2008 and the other will extend her term undemocratically in 2008.
Bush, as almost all indications show, will finish his term in 2008.
With Aling Gloria, however, there are three distinct possibilities:
1. She will stick to her words this time and exit as scheduled by noon of June 30, 2010.
2. She will be forced to step down prior to 2010, as the controversies hounding her government gets heavier by the day.
3. She will succeed in circumventing the rules and manage to stay on beyond 2010.
If I were to rank them in order of personal preference, I’d take number two. Number one will be the minimum acceptable. I wouldn’t even imagine option number three, because, if that happens, parang nagpagago na tayo ng husto… parang pakyawan tayong kinapon.
Ang isa sa mga agenda ng bansang Amerika ay magkaroon ng female leader sa mga allied states nito.
Mabuti na lang hindi naging presidente si Ségoléne Royal sa Pransiya.
Natuto na ang mga Indonesian kay Megawati.
Ang mga Pilipino hindi pa rin natuto kay Cory.
Hindi na natuto ang mga Pinoy.
Tapos ngayon gusto nitong i-export ang Pinoy Democracy sa Burma sa pamamagitan ng pagkilala kay Aung San Suu Kyi?
Wala na bang ibang isyu?
Wala na bang ibang isyu na pwedeng magpasok tayo ng mga OFW sa Burma?
Kapag sinabi ng mga Amerikano sa mga Pinoy na terorista ang mga Karen,
“Oo, terorista ang mga Karen kasi Pilipino ako eh!”
ka enchong,
“kinapon” is too vulgar, “neutered” na lang pa sosyal.
Babae na naman itong nagsisinungaling para sa impakta.
“Tapos ngayon gusto nitong i-export ang Pinoy Democracy sa Burma sa pamamagitan ng pagkilala kay Aung San Suu Kyi?
Wala na bang ibang isyu?NELBAR”
Nelbar:Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a pro-democracy activist and leader of the National League for Democracy in Myanmar (Burma), and a noted prisoner of conscience and advocate of nonviolent resistance. A Buddhist, Suu Kyi won the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and in 1991 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and in 1992 she was awarded the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru peace price of Government of India for her peaceful and non-violent struggle under a military dictatorship. She is currently under detention, with the Myanmar government repeatedly extending her detention. According to the results of the 1990 general election, Suu Kyi earned the right to be Prime Minister, as leader of the winning National League for Democracy party, but her detention by the military junta prevented her from assuming that role.
Nelbar,
Corruption and incompetence is not a monopoly of any gender, male, female, or gay. Women can be as great as men in leadership positions, its character that counts.
Please check out this link for info on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

juggernaut,
pigil pa yan, hehehe.
Kidding aside, don’t we have the right to be vulgar when our “leaders” are more vulgar in going about their business of turning us into tail-less monkeys?
“My father thought that with the end of martial law, things would be better for all Filipinos. He would have been upset with, but challenged by the recent worsening of events in the country,” said Maria Socorro Diokno, sixth child of Senator Jose W.Diokno and FLAG secretary general.”
The more things change, the more they stay the same in this country.
Maiba lang ako ng topic, ngayon ina-amin ng KAMPI na sa kanila galing ang pera pero di raw alam ni Glorya .. Puwede ba iyon? Noon inako ni baklang kalbong Evardone na sa kanila galing yong pera … saan ba talaga ate? Nakaka-inis na talaga ,,, ginagago nila ang mga tao … Pakiramdam ko lahat tayo ay pinapabayaan na lang kahit anong gagawin ni Glorya at ang kanyang mga tuta. Hahayaan na lang ba natin lahat na kahung-hangang ginagawa ng pekeng administrasyon na ito.
Pero kung ang papalit sa kanya ay si DeCastro o Villar o Legarda o Binay o Jinggoy (wag naman po sana) ay sa totoo lang pagpapasensiyahan ko na lang si Glorya total sanay na tayong ginagago niya.
I saw it on ABS CBN news a few nights ago, Gov. Panlilio has become marginalized in his own province, apparently the mayors are not happy with the provincial government controlling the proceeds of the quarry (millions of Php) and these mayors are in league with Mrs. Pineda (wife of bong Pineda?). Do they want a “Malacanang – like” disbursement of funds?
Etnad,
I may be mistaken, forgive an OFW’s ignorance, isn’t Binay a good alternative to Gloria? I mean he’s done good things in Makati like the yellow card in OSMAK etc.? Of course, Legarda is an obvious opportunist.
Jug,
Korek ka diyan. Nakakalamang si Binay doon sa mga Presidentiables na aking binanggit. Sabi ko naman kung sa akin lang. Mayor pa lang kasi siya ngayon pero ang mga anak niya ay isinalang na sa pulitika. Baka pag siya ay Presidente na baka lahat ang kamag-anak niya ay puro Congressman at Senator na. Huwag din natin kalimutan ang mga kinakasangkutan niyang anomalya. Mayor pa lang yan ha.
Etnad,
Yikes! Mayor pa lang ganyan na, I can imagine kung maging presidente.
JUGG:Si Mayor feeling dynasty na! Pinalitan ni Misis Binay pagkatapos bumalik na naman.Isang anak congresswoman at isa naman konsehal.
Ay naku,pareho-pareho lang lahat ng pulitiko(Admin at GO).
What about this guy Adel Tamano? He looks/sounds decent enough? What are our options in case we need to look for one? We should be doing a lot better than GMA? I refuse to acept she’s the best we have.
JUGGS: looks promising.Son of the late Senator Mamintal Tamano.Harvard Master of Laws.Good representation for Mindanao in the Senate.Articulate.Principled (Gloria wanted him for TU
senatorial slate but he refused).President of Pamantasan ng Maynila.
So now we have the UNHOLY TRINITY
1)Gloria Arroyo
2)Jose de Venecia
3)Fidel V. Ramos
What miraculous manifestations can we expect in the months to come? We’ve seen cold cash appearing from nowhere, people disappearing mysteriously, an unstoppable growing budget deficit, and a reverse version – vanishing loaves of bread and fish so people go hungry. Of course there’s the pera na naging bato pa NBN ZTE broadband fiasco, what else is there?
Adel Tamano refused an offer from GMA? Wow, he gave up a potentially very lucrative arrangement, that good huh?
JUGGS:the power of ONE ,who will NOT give up!
Adel in fact was being pressured by his own mom(a friend of GMA) to accept the TU offer.She relented when she understood the principled stand of Adel.
See, we don’t have a shortage of good leaders after all, what GMA’s spin doctor would like us to believe.
No retreat, no surrender!!!
Bago pa lang si Tamano sa politika pero puwede na. Wala pa akong nabasang kasinungalingan na pinagsasabi niya. Straight siya ika nga.
Si Ping Lacson ang aking bet. Kung yong Kuratong Baleleng lang ang isyu niya oks lang yon puro kriminal naman talaga ang sangkot don. Palagay ko si Ping ang mahigpit na makakalaban na kung sino man ang bet nila Glorya-Ramos-deVenecia-Erap tandem.
Bunye: “a minor distraction and a lot of ‘bribe money'”.
Lacson, I heard that he did not accept the pork barrels due to him? But I want to know the real score about his men ie Michael Ray Aquino and that other guy I forgot his name.
My beef against Lacson is his ‘closeness’ to Honasan — can’t blame him they’re mistahs. I wish he’d drop him one of these days.
Bunye: “a minor distraction and a lot of ‘bribe money’”. – vic
……………………………………………………
You can’t believe what a lot of “bribe money” can do these days, people change tunes from baritone to whats it called when you neuter somebody, you know, ala Michael Jackson like voice?
Whats really amazing is that many people in the country are going hungry, and they have all this money to throw around.
JUGG:
The Presidentiables:
Lacson is fearless but may be too ruthless as a President.
Legarda:pretty.
Gordon:good mayor of Olongapo.Bully in the senate hearings.
Villar:deal or no deal.
Mar Roxas:Rated oK.Mostdecent,But spineless(Rated K has more balls)
Re Juggernaut’s “tunes from baritone to whats it called when you neuter somebody,”
The person becomes a CASTRA! hehehe!
The Equalizer:
Don’t like Legarda, she’s an opportunist, Gordon is the excitable type and you can never tell if he means what he says, Villar is as you say deal or no deal. Don’t trust his wife either. Mar Roxas — no backbone as you say. He’s alright as a Senator or Congressman or even a member of cabinet but as President? Nah!
Binay should be left to do what he does best — being mayor of Makati.
Have you read this?
People have forgotten allegations about Ping Lacson
By Ramon Tulfo
Inquirer
Last updated 06:48am (Mla time) 04/26/2007
MANILA, Philippines — The influential Jesus Is Lord Movement of Bro. Eddie Villanueva is helping Sen. Panfilo Lacson get reelected.
How easy for people to forget the alleged atrocities Lacson did as a young officer of the defunct Philippine Constabulary and head of the armed group of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC), also now defunct!
On Aug. 30, 2003, I came out with a special episode in my now defunct public service program, “Isumbong mo kay Tulfo,” on RPN 9 about Lacson.
Read complete report in http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/metro/view_article.php?article_id=62584
JUGG: horrible,As I said the man is too ruthless.But I like him as a counterweight to the Palace gang.But NOT as a President.
Evict Gloria movement http://www.pinoybigbriber.com/
Don’t trust everything Mon Tulfo says. The man has always been for sale.
Tulfo is a shit of the lowest category. He would supply inuendo after inuendo. I’d be happy if Lacson shot him in the head.
Kung maniwala kayo kay Tulfo yan ang isyu. Medyo brutal naman siguro … ganun pa man kriminal pa din ang isyu diyan. Wala silang masabi sa kanya kaya kung ano-ano na lang ang pinagsasabi. Ganyan kumana ang grupo nila Ramos-deVenecia (Batman & Robin) tandem. Kung papano sirain ang mga kalaban “Destroy ang Conquer”.
Kung manalo si Ping sa pagka-Presidente at ganyan siya kabangis. Puwede naman siguro basta’t maging matino lang tayo at wala tayong ginagawang masama e di walang problema. Basta’t wag lang siyang gagaya sa mga hinayupak na mga Lider kuno na makakita lang ng anino ng pera ay tulo laway na sila. Kaya kung sila’y nagsisisihan ang laging naririnig natin sa kanila ay eto “Akala mo kung sino siyang malinis”.
Juggernaut, for articles from other publications, I would prefer to you just link it. Just provide the url.
I discourage “cut and paste” of the whole article.
ana:I just voted: shall I call Garci for one million votes?
Anna, Lacson is not close to Honasan.
There is no dearth of alternatives to Gloria. It’s an insult to 86 million Filipinos to say that there is no better alternative to her. Anybody is better than her.
Hold an election. There will be no dearth of candidates. We choose.
But first, Gloria and Noli must step down.
Looking for a future leader? I place my bet on Sen. Trillanes.
Its a shame, Lacson could be the president with a “strong” presence we have always needed. Someone ala Marcos but not exactly, you know, strong political will and the personality to follow through, someone who can whip the police and military back into shape. All these allegations are incredibly horrible. Too horrible infact, that I suspect its part of a “psy war thing,” you know, the urban legends they spread about someone as sometimes fear is a good thing if you know how to wield it. I knew two of his people Cesar Mancao and John Campos, both very smart and seemingly decent guys, and Michael Ray Aquino, these were deans’ listers in their time.
Sorry Ellen, I’ll follow your format re articles next time.
Trillanes is quite young to be president, he needs to mature a bit. Of course, prison can do that to a man.
Trillanes is much, much mature than many of our more senior politicians.
But you are correct. He is not qualified to run for president in 2010. He would only be 39 in 2010. 40 is the minimum age to run for president.
Ellen:He is headed there but not in 2010.I still want him to be “purified” in character.Mandela stayed in prison for 27 years.Ninoy stayed 8 year in prison.
I don’t want to sound cruel.But great leaders like Ninoy Aquino, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (Burma) and Nelson Madela (South Africa) were tested and purified when they were unjustly imprisoned for a long ,long time.
11 million Filipinos voted for Trillanes as senator.They have acknowledged his potential as a true,self-sacrificing leader.So different from the other young opposition senators we elected(Escudero,Cayetano,Noynoy)
But if we want somebody who is uncompromising and has not been exposed to the usual wheeling and dealing of traditional politics, Trillanes can be a very good choice. In fact, he’s being isolated now from everyone else (its bad being in prison though) will serve to shield him from being contaminated by trapos, something like being kept in a sterile environment so to speak.
Come to think of it, why are our “noisy” senators like Escudero and Cayetano quiet nowadays? Are they busy making all those bills, etc. as senators are supposed to do? I really hope they are.
What happened ellen? They used “to protect each other” when Gloria was running after them early on to arrest them — can’t remember why.
Anyway, if Lacson ain’t close to HOnasan, I can only guess it’s because Lacson discovered Honazan’s perfidy?
Juggernaut,
Re: “Are they busy making all those bills, etc. as senators are supposed to do? ”
Busy entering into compromises perhaps with the devil?
ADB,
GMA was after them due to alleged complicity in the EDSA 3 if I’m not mistaken.
Right! Now I remember had something to do with their being accused of something to do with bringing down Gloria — yep and both men went into hiding. Enrile too.
Thanks Juggernaut!
Enrile slept in jail I think. And he thought because he slept in jail, he would become a romantic hero. Hehehe!
The problem with Honasan and Lacson is that they were bred during the Marcos era, this is probably the start of the politisation of the military, a far cry from the “professional soldiers” in the 40’s (when PMA was Quezon’s pet project). The class of ’70s were brought up to believe being the “nations’ heroes” not all too different from “messianic complex.” The values of these two classes contrast each other very sharply, as the later class was more prone to “brutal” means of achieving objectives. Theres a study by Al Macoy (Closer Than Brothers) comparing these two classes and its very interesting, the details are “laser” accurate, even the traditions of the academy and its idiosyncracies were well documented.
Jugg:was this also true during your time ?
ADB,
If you’re into war stories, this book will interest you, it even narrates the battle scenes in the 2WW involving Filipino officers, how they fought together as mistahs, and their experiences in the prison camps (how they kept each other alive). Its like the experience of “shared hardships” in the academy prepared them for a life of being POWs.
Perhaps, the politisation of the military started during the time of Victor Corpuz in PMA; when he allowed Joma’s friends and Joma himself to enter the grounds of the sacrosanct PMA.
This politisation was reinforced when Marcos declared martial law.
Class 71 were so young when Marcos declared martial law, they’d just graduated, so impressionable still — whatever we say, a young man in his early 20s who is given the responsibility over life and death is something very difficult.
It’s like the very young ones who went to Iraq, eg., 18, 19 or 20, terribly young and when they come out of Iraq, they either are disillusioned or they become sold to the idea that might is right.
(I know a young Brit who was only 21 when he served in Iraq, he was given the task of deciding whether another person would live or die, so terrible to give that kind of responsibility in one so young. He came out of Iraq scathed — completely disillusioned…)
Thanks, Juggernaut. I’ll get myself a copy. Could also be a good present for my husband (he’s ex military.)
The following are possible leaders:
Antonio Meloto:Gawad Kalinga(RM awardee)
Mayor Jesse Robledo:Naga City (RM awardee)
Gov Panlilio:Pampanga
Randy David:fearless and articulate journalist
Adel Tamano
Senator Trillanes
Maria Socorro Diokno:FLAG secretary general

Yes. Our time was still considered “old school” and still quite brutal, but it was a learning experience. Since then I’ve learned to channel these energies into my work and its been okay so far.
I remember, Honasan and company were hailed as heroes in the academy. I remember during beast barracks (summer camp) when the whole Borromeo field was covered by plebes doing synchronized squat thrusts, a firstie would stop us and yell “do you want to be like Gringo?!” at the top of his voice and the whole plebe battalion would yell back “yes sir!” and continue squat thrusting all through the afternoon.
Being a frustrated writer, I wrote the love letters for my upperclassmen earning me a bit of relaxed treatment, until moving on to writing poems and short stories for the Corps Magazine, and then speeches for them mostly RAM ideologues like “The Failure of this Nation is in Our Hands!” and “we can no longer tolerate incompetence and corruption within our ranks!” among other things.
The Equalizer,
Begging your pardon but when Ducky Paredes brought up the idea of Antonio Meloto for the Senate (I think), I wrote to him and told him, Meloto is doing a fine job in Gawad Kalinga, why take him away from the thing he knows best?
Thanks for the list Equalizer, I really appreciate it. I want to be prepared this time around.
I have to say goodnight guys, the wife is suspects I’m chatting in YM or something already…
Good night…
Juggernaut,
15 years ago, I remember having a terrible argument with someone from Class 74 about “killing” the Honasan phenomenon; I said looking up to Honasan as if he were god was bad — the man never really served in war. There was nothing he really did that spoke of wisdom and courage. I guess he was more loyal to Enrile than he was to the military.
He was pretty pissed off because he himself (and he was already a lt commander) was still very impressed by Honasan. I told him (my friend) that when he’s no longer impressionable, then he might just become a good officer and leader. (We’re still friends though… hehe!)
Night everyone! Am down with the flu so will hit the sack.
Cheers.
On Gloria perpetuating herself beyond 2010..what I see is her leaving Malacanan horizontally.
Wow! So the “Coalition of the willing” is back to form. It only proved that it’s difficult for birds of the same feather to go on their separate ways. They needed each others corrupted and wicked minds for comfort and survival. Happy days are here again.
JDV at least has his own moments to shine and gave a faint of hope to some people, to somehow make a decision to lead in the slaying of the wicked witch that is Gloria out of the stolen throne, but his true self and character made the better of him and gave in to the call of greed, power and money.
For Gloria, well, we know that she will do everything, anything even if she has to shake heaven and earth just to remain in power.
As for FVR, he is the Philippine biggest thief of all time until Gloria came in, and he was so mad that she grabbed the title from him, but now he is a goner, a pathetic and helpless man and can’t do more anything except to dance to the tune of the Pidals.
And as for Joey, nobody knew the guy until he made those noises. True, he ”terrorized” Gloria and company but the story has no ending yet and who knows he may have wanted more than what was offered. I hope I am wrong but if not then he is nothing but a chip of the old block.
Although part of me believed that Gloria will knock JDV out after killing the impeachment, I also believed that she will keep him for another reason. She loved the brain child of JDV about the cha cha and sometime in the near future they will resurrect it. She knows that this is the only way to escape from her sins against the nation and the people, and the only way to perpetuate her in power till death do her part. I’m not putting too much hope for 2010.
Ellen,
Dati, hinahangaan ko si FVR, now no more. You can tell na kahit isang dakmol na scandal si GMA, ipinagtatanggol pa rin ni FVR. Parang walang kasong plunder din siya. At least, kung totoo man na may kinuha si Erap na pera, hindi naman galing sa kaban ng bayan. E ang mga iyan, sus!
Ang ZTE etc, kinukwako na lang!
Jugg;..Si Mon Tulfo ay isang taong wala ring bayag…isama mo na lahat silang magkakapatid at lahat sila CORRUPT ! gagawin niyang lahat para magkabati ulit sila ni FG..Plastic lahat yang magkakapatid na yan.
Sa 2010 !
1.) Lacson-Trillanes ?(O Estrada)
2.) Legarda-Escudero (vice versa)?
3.) Villar-Roxas?
Hindi pa puedeng kandidato pagka-pangulo o bise si Sen. Trillanes dahil wala pa siyang 40 anyos sa 2010 presidential election. Lacson-Binay tandem po tayo.
Of all the presidentiables being floated. I think Lacson is the man the Filipinos deserve and the one who can bring the Motherland to greater heights. While I dont know the man personally Im privy to his character through a friend who once served as his secretary when he was with the PNP. She said she was so honest and expect everybody from his office to be so too. Kahit nga raw singko sentimos na sukli sa isang bagay na ipinabili mo sa kanya kelangan accounted. The only thing that I think will work against him is his being too self-centered. I think he is one person who is too decisive and will not listen to someone for advise once he made up his mind to a certain issue. The good thing is, he is not a traditional politician who is prone to transactional politics. Sa 2010 kay LACSON TAYO.
I heard the same thing about Lacson from people who know him well and even critics at that. Inspite of his status as a Senator, his immediate family are plain simple people. Walang mga mansion or even big businesses. I also had the same feed back on how he treats money. It is all accounted for. The fact that he does not get his pork barrel says it all about this man. Some people say he may too strict being that he came from a military background. But having served in the Senate, now a second time and having been out of the military service for quite sometime now, he may now be well blended with all sorts of people. One thing I know is the fact that he was able to implement the “waist 34” for all his police during his time and he succeeded! He expected all police to be able to run after their suspect! I thought at first that it was a crazy idea but his men complied and everyone lost weight! Maybe we need someone with such discipline to put an end to the corruption that has eaten up our system. Tiyanak’s transactional politics is a product of her lose discipline. She can not impose on her underlings because she herself is the most corrupt leader. If we get someone who has some good values in dealing with money, we will be much ahead of the game. I do not know so much about Binay. All I know is he is doing a great job in running Makati which is the best city in the country. But Binay has had some unexplained acquisitions using dummy names. This disturbs me. But if Lacson runs with him, he may be okay because Lacson may not tolerate his illegal activities. It would be a good match-LACSON and BINAY!
Trillianes is a very promising leader but he may two or even three terms from the presidency. He still needs to learn a lot! Let us pick leaders who somehow had some proven track record of leadership!
Yehey … Lacson Kami!!!!! Lacson-Binay …. hhhmmmmm sige na nga. Wag lang Jinggoy.
Sabi nga ni wala ring kuwentang Maceda … Binay-Jinggoy daw …. naka paktay-lo tayo diyan.
Iba naman, Natutuwa lang kasi ako dahil hanggang ngayon mahal na pahal pa din ng mga mahihirap si Erap. Alam yan ni Erap. Pero ang hindi alam ni Erap hanggang ngayon ginagago pa siya ng mga elitista. Kita niyo yong mukha ni Erap, galit na galit kasi gustong kuhain din ng bahay niya sa Polk St. at yong sa Tanay. Mr. Erap hanggang ngayon pinaglalaruan pa din kayo ng tadhana, kailangan sa iyo gumanti na kayo sa mga taong gumagago sa iyo sampu ang iyong pamilya. Ibigay niyo na lang si Jinggoy sa kanila, medyo mabigat-bigat din yan.
>>parasabayan
martial law na naman!! wala ka na bang kasawaan sa martial law? ilang beses nyo na bang sinabing mag kaka martial law at ilang beses kayong nagkamali? hello!!! 2007 na! wala na si marcos, bakit ba nabubuhay ka pa sa nakaraan? kaya hindi umuunlad ang pinas dahil sa mga tulad mong nabubuhay sa nakaraan. hindi na to marcos era, at tingin ko hindi na madaling mag ka martial law gaya ng iniisip mo. grade 1 ka pa lang ba at alam mong hindi lang si gloria ang mag dedecide kung ilalagay sa martial law ang pinas. kailangang ipasa yan bilang batas o kaya maging presidente din ang amo mong si trillanes para mag ka coup. kapag nag ka coup d’etat naman, ang buong mundo ang kalaban ng magiging bagong gobyerno. esep esep ka naman.
Ano kaya kung 4 ang maging bise-presidente ng Pilipinas?
3 mula sa ABC ng Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao.
At 1 mula naman sa 8 milyong Pinoy na nasa abroad?
Ang isa sa magandang naituro ng 1971 Constitution ay itong demokratikong pagpili ng lider mula sa Barangay hanggang sa pinakamataas ng pwesto ng bansa.
knives, anong tawag mo doon sa idineklara ng ek ek mong reyna noong isang taon na 1017? Hindi ba ala martial law yun? Hindi lang siya umobra at pinatanggal kaagad sa kanya ng mga bansang nagbibigay ng limos sa Pilipinas! Kaya huwag kang pakasisiguro sa reyna mong gahaman at kung hindi niya makuha ang gusto niya sa santong dasalan, sa santong paspasan ang banat niya. Puro siya si pilit! Lahat ng tao binabayaran niya-by hook or by crook kailangan nasa trono siya. I never saw one leader like this before in the Philippines-short of Hitler! Not even Marcos sa totoo lang. Ito na siguro ang pinakaswapang na presidente na nakita ko. By the way, I am definitely not a first grader!
>>parasabayan
sa tingin ko, hindi mo alam ang ibig sabihin ng martial law.
Knives, it is true that martial law requires a concurrence of Congress. But it shall remain effective for sixty days, during which time, maraming possibilities. There is also the possibility of declaring a revolutionary government, as Cory did in 1986. She abolished the Constitution and governed with both executive and legislative powers.
But just because it had not come to pass, doesn’t mean it will not at some point in the future. We do have it on good authority that Gen. Esperon has several aces up his sleeves, including, but not limited to the killing of more known activists. And he is more desperate than Gloria to remain in power.
Klingon, although what you are saying about asspweron may be true, I doubt if he can muster a number of officers to go along with what he wants. He is just another “wannabe” leader. That is all. Without the tiyanak, he is a nobody!
broadbandido >>
sorry, ngaun ko lang nabasa ung mga nipost mo. hehehe.. oo, pakawala ako ng malakanyang at ako din ang pumatay kay lapu lapu. nyahahahaha.. ganito ba talaga dito, ang against sa opinyon nyo ay pakawala ng gobyerno o kaya ay MALI? hindi kasi kayo marunong mag accept na opinyon na against sa inyo.
hayy, dali sabihin na pakawala si ellen ng NPA, ng opposition. btw, hindi ako maka gloria, si lacson ang ibinoto ko at gusto kong maging presidente. ang gusto ko lang eh ang kaayusan pag walang pruweba, wag magsalita. pag meron naman mag reklamo ng maayos. ung para bang meron tayong pinag aralan.
The Equalizer,
Lacson for 2010! He is the only one who can instill discipline and order in the Philippines!
Etnad,
Binay…yukkkk!!! 20 years na yan sa Makati, di pa rin ma-eradicate ang poverty! Lalo pa ngang dumami!!! Not deserving of any position, kahit barangay chairman. Kurakot din yan.
I agree with you here ASIII. Lacson has the discipline to insist on discipline, even with his rumors about his past hanging over his head. Binay, has a sorry track record as a local gvernment official, nepotism, dynasty-ism, and all other hallmarks of trapo-politics. Time for a change.
etnad,
huwag mong idamay si erap na kakutsaba na nina ramos jdv at glo dahil si erap kailaman hindi sasali kina ramos dahil alam niyang super kurakot ang mga iyan kayat hinay hinay kayo sa pagbanat kay erap
“the rumors about his part.” — sorry about that.
paano niyo masasabi na kasama na ni erap sina ramos nakikita niyo naman kung papaano banatan ni jinggoy si fvr di ba? anong say niyo
tulad ng sabi ko dito sa blog ni mam ellen KAMING MAHIHIRAP NANINIWALA KAY ERAP dahil totoong tao siya nagkataon lang na ayaw ng mga elitista
All these potential candidates in 2010 are all politically immoral.They are all the same breed and adapt the same motto; the politician’s motto is this: help me get elected, and I’ll help you screw everyone else! These traditional politicians have a tradition of inserting loopholes in the laws they write.The loopholes serve them,serve the big money that buys them,serve the bureaucrats,and serve the news media that sells the loophole stories.
The public pays for all of them,and loses at the end.Incumbent and opposition use anything to knock each other out.The people in our country seems to be divided diametrically between the two in the past: those who love Erap,and those who love to loathe Gloria.
mlm18_corpuz, Are you among those who believe that Erap is the man who is the champion sa masa? Erap knows what string to pull to achieve what he wants,for whom only the end matters.You can not assume that getting majority of people to agree with you,especially now,that he choose to be pardoned,he can’t convince many people to agree with him as possible.In politics is never about getting everyone on your side – it’s about getting a majority of people on your side.
The competitive nature of politics encourages politicians to appeal to the smallest majority that they need to in order to gain power.In a democracy this usually means that any percentage more than 50%; 51%,is enough.This logic in itself does not require anyone to lie.Every politician can choose a majority of supporters and a minority of non-supporters and openly promise to benefit the majority by screwing the minority.But,as it happens,we expect our politicians to be morally upright and to express moral positions that are regarded as morally correct,which means they are expected to state moral positions that are agreed with by at least majority of people in society,because if the number of people in agreement is less than majority then it isn’t a moral position.In short there are some resistance and reluctancy of what you want about people to believe in Erap.
The rivalry of Marcos and Macapagal.
FM made the 1973 Constitution with the help of Sept 1972.
Cory Aquino revised it thru ConCom of 1986.
VP Gloria Arroyo ratified it thru EDSA Dos by way of Text Messaging(SMS).
Ang tanong? Sino ang panalo?
Marami ang nagbuwis ng buhay at inialay ang kinabukasan para magbigay ng bagong direksyon sa bansa.
mlm_18 corpus,
I’m sorry to say this but I was a part of the movement that brought down Erap. It is not in my nature to act without proper deliberation, at the time I headed a company here in the Philippines and gave all of the employees half day and we all went there together. I have nothing against you personally as I respect your right to fight for what you believe in, we happen to be on different sides concerning Erap but that is the past already, now we have bigger things to do.
I think the present predicament of pinas today is all erap’s fault. Had he done his job well, gma would not have risen to power.. With the present opposition today, I will opt for Lacson, although he may have also contributed to gma’s continuity in power.
Kapag sinisi mo si Erap, para mo na rin sinabi na, sana hindi na naging Mayor ng San Juan noon si Erap.
Sana hindi nagkaroon ng OIC’ship noong 1986, remember the scene of Pimentel-Erap of 1986?
Pinunit pa nga ni Erap ang order na ito at itinapon sa basurahan. Entering FPJ to the scene, the front page picture from Peole’s Journal — the real People Power.(Makikita mo duon sa picture na pumagitna pa si FPJ para umawat sa nagbabatuhan ng mga suporters — dito mo makikita ang lakas ng mga photographer bilang isang tool sa kasaysayan).
Ano kaya kung hindi, nai-draft nila Blas Ople, JPE, Wilson Gamboa, Kit Tatad si ERAP sa Grand Alliance for Democracy(GAD) — magiging Senador kaya sya noong May 1987-1992?
Ramon Revilla initially run as Jose Baustista but lost and he changed his name to Agimat Sr.
Palagay ko may agimat din ang dating kapitbahay namin mula sa Mandaluyong-San Juan?
Noong elementary days ko, naririnig ko sa school namin na masarap daw magmartsa o magparada papuntang Pinaglabanan Shrine.
Pero ang mga nakikita ko sa dyaryo noon ay “No to Conjugal Dictatorship” , “Down Marcos DYNASTY”
Ngayon nasaan na ang ipinaglaban sa pagpapatalsik sa mga Dayanastiya?
nostalgic lang ..hehehe
Kung nanonood kaya ng Tennis match, mauunawaan nyo kung bakit gusto ko si Felix Barrientos na maging lider ng bansa.
Nakakaunawa kasi sya ng Elliot Wave theory.
As much I want to write in fluent tagalog, its difficult for me (mabagal mag-isip) because I can only write fluent bisaya, so its better I stick to Ingles.
I believe we can’t achieve anything if we keep blaming others, as the electorate we have to take some responsibility that we too are to blame. In fact, the biggest portion of the blame should fall on us, as we are the ones who choose our leaders. What remains to be done is to be intelligently vigilant so that we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again.
The rise and fall of Philippine politics is as much a part of our maturing as a democracy as anything else. We make mistakes, we try again, and again, at least we are more independent now to chart our own destiny as a nation. The heroes that shed their blood in the past did so that we can experience this “freedom” that we take for granted so often.
klingon,
“Binay, has a sorry track record as a local gvernment official, nepotism, dynasty-ism, and all other hallmarks of trapo-politics. Time for a change”
I concur.
(You might be surprised to find out – maraming bloggers dito ang bilib na bilib kay Binay! Bakit? Dahil anti-GMA sya! Yun lang!)
ASIII,
Re: (You might be surprised to find out – maraming bloggers dito ang bilib na bilib kay Binay! Bakit? Dahil anti-GMA sya! Yun lang!)
What’s your problem with that? Yun lang…
I think the last thing we should do is to blame ourselves,though I for one did not vote for erap,I can agree that collectively we made a mistake. Erap was the last really elected president, and therefore must carry the cross that he allowed others overtook without being elected. Indeed we must blame our elected politicians for the situation in the pinas.Anyway, it is my opinion.
Estrada was unable to defend his presidency in 2001 simply because he didn’t know how to do it. He was the last duly elected president of the Republic and he didn’t give a damn about it.
One of his favourite quotes to those who tried to question his doctrine (peace process for instance) was: “Mag presidente muna kayo!”
He spent more time on the “Ang Pangulo” gaping at Mark Jimenez’ shenanigans on another boat that assembled young starlets and socialites. He felt sorry that he couldn’t get on Mario Crespo’s boat.
When he was about to visit Paris sometime before his impeachment, one of the requests to his hosts from industry by his sidekicks was to make sure there was a blond and a brunette in tow in Hotel Crillon where he would be billetted.
He must have made the Pfizer medrep reach his quota for sildenafil citrate!!!
Heh! Don’t know nuthin about them citrate but do know that Erap was looking forward to meeting the blond and brunette in Hotel Crillon.
He was very much like Malaysia Deputy PM & Defence Minister Najib in that sense.
Ana:
Sildenafil citrate is the chemical term for Viagra.
Oh! Hahahah! Thanks, Atty…
I voted for JPE in 1998.
Dahil alam ko na sya ang pinaka-qualified. He even went into shuttle campaign.
I opted for him as a respect for his role in 1986 reform movement.
At isapa, taktika nya ito bilang pagpapatunay na meron syang electorate from the questionable 1995 senatorial election.
Same with 2004 election. I voted for Hermie Aquino as VP, as a respect for their role in the reform movement.
I didnt vote for Loren. Being from media and defense establishment(NDC) is not good in the upbringing of our society.
Ito ang nakakatakot kapag nagsama na ang military at media.
This is prelude to wearing a brownshirt or blackshirt.
cocoy,juggernaut
siguro miyembro kayo sa mga elitistang nagpabagsak kay erap tama ka juggernaut na may karapatan ako na ihayag yong nasa loobin ko tulad niyo,ang napapansin ko lang is magagaling kayong pumuna sana yong galing niyong yan ay gawin niyo ngayon kung paano mapaalis sa pwesto si glo yan lang naman ang goal natin di ba? hindi yong banat kayo ng banat kay erap lalo na kay ystakie or yuko
Adebrux,
What’s my problem with that?! A lot!
Anybody who looks up to Binay (figuratively, kasi mga bata lang ang puwedeng mag-look up sa kanya literally) ought to have his head examined. Mas mahusay pa si Erap sa kanya.
Makati is a microcosm of the Philippines – the division of rich and poor is magnified, corrupt government, widespread poverty, squatter-infested.
Someone has said Shanghai is not China; its what China wants to become. Sadly, Makati is not what the Philippines wants to become. Courtesy of 20 years (more to come) of Binay
wala yan sa Mandaluyong, parang probinsya 😛
maraming ganito sa bansa natin…
pagkatapos ko anak, ikaw naman…
…sa iyo na muna ito, may ipapagawa lang sakin si bossing na taga malakanyang
parang eksena sa wrestling match:
tap sa palad ay sinabi na:
“ikaw naman dito, ako naman dyan, palit muna, basta iisa lang ang laro natin”
ibagsak ang diktatura!
ibagsak ang daynastiya!
mabuhay ang diwa ng edsa!
ASIII,
“Anybody who looks up to Binay (figuratively, kasi mga bata lang ang puwedeng mag-look up sa kanya literally) ought to have his head examined. Mas mahusay pa si Erap sa kanya.”
But that’s your personal view ASIII… and you cannot impose your view on others by saying “…ought to have his head examined.”
My question is more geared towards one’s absolute right, whether one is rich or poor or whether one is enlightened, eg, you, or not to choose and elect a candidate for national office! Why should people not be allowed to elect him if they want him?
I’m personally not for Binay for president thinggy, I’ve already said he should be left in Makati and do his job in Makati but while your view (or mine) of Binay whom I know personally btw (he’s shorter than me), is in stark opposition to those who hold the view that Binay is good, I shall continue to insist that voters are entirely within their right to elect (or to sanction or to reject) whoever they want to elect (or to sanction or to reject), and if by a twist of fate, Binay should become a presidential candidate and should win — provided there’s been no cheating, then so be it… the people will have spoken and their votes must be respected.
