Heto na naman tayo.
Sinabi ni Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita na sang-ayon siya sa mungkahi ni Jesus Dureza, presidential adviser on the peace process, na palitan ang Constitution para raw maisulong ang negosasyon sa Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
Sabi ni Dureza napagkasunduan ng mga negosyador ng pamahalaan at ng MILF na magtatag ng Bangsamoro region ngunit kailangang dumaan sa “constitutional process” o proseso na naaayon sa Constitution. Ang proseso na ‘yan ay kailangan ang referendum at ayaw ng MILF dahil sigurado hindi papayag ang marami sa mga taumbayan sa probinsiya na gusto nilang masama sa Bangsamoro region.
Nahinto ang negosasyon noong isang buwan at ‘yan ang ginagamit nina Ermita at Dureza para itulak ang Charter Change.
Talaga naman. Kahit ano basta lang makalusot.
Sabi ni Dureza hindi naman daw papalitan ang buong sistema ng pamahalaan kapag nag-Charter Change. ‘Yung Bangsamoro lang daw.
Akala talaga nitong mga kampon ni Gloria tanga tayo. Si Gloria Arroyo mismo ang nagsabi na gusto niya ng federal system ng government. Bakit hindi niya samantalahin ang pagkakataon kapag nabuksan na ang Constitution?
Itong taon, magiging matindi ang hakbang para manatili sa kapangyarihan ang mga nasa puwesto lampas ng 2010. Itong mga nakaraang buwan may mga pinapalutang na balita tungkol sa Charter Change. Hindi lang lumilipad. Hindi kasi siniseryoso ng mga tao.
Ang delikado niyan, dahil hindi nga natin pinapansin, baka habang natutulog tayo, napalitan na pala ang Constitution at habambuhay na nating pangulo si Arroyo.
Nandiyan pa rin ang posibilidad na magkakaroon ng parang martial law. Parang lang ha dahil hindi niya tatawagin ng ganyan ngunit diktadura ang paiiralin.
Ngayon pa lang ganoon na ang nangyayari. Tingnan mo na lang ang nangyari sa mga journalists sa Manila Peninsula noong Nov. 29. ‘Yung hindi sumunod sa order ni Interior Secretary Ronnie Puno, inaresto at pinosasan.
Kaya maganda rin na ngayon pa lang mainit na ang usapan tungkol sa 2010 presidential elections. Kasi kapag mataas ang interes ng mga tao sa election, mahihirapan si Arroyo na itigil ‘yun para lamang manatili siya sa Malacañang.
Ang maaari niya sigurong gawin ay gagastusan ang isang kandidato na mangako sa kanya na hindi siya kakasuhan ng plunder. Hindi siya mahihirapang maghanap ng kakagat sa kanyang kondisyon.
Ang problema lang, siyempre ang gagamitin ni Arroyo na panggastos para sa maprotektahan siya ay pera natin. Kaya siguradong lalong titindi ang kurakutan.
Kalaban ng katiwalian ang mamamayang gising at naninindigan. Hindi natin papayagan si Arroyo na sirain ang ating kinabukasan.
So, palapit na ang malakas na bagyo. Kailangan na maghanda na tayo ngayon habang maaga. Paayos ang butas na bubong. Palitan ang mga lumang bintana. Linisan ang maruruming imbornal. Magsubi ng pagkain at inuming tubig. Maghanda ng preskong batirya at ayusin ang flashlight. Ano pa?
Kailangan maghanda tayo upang marausan ang makamamatay na bagyo.
Siya nga pala: Happy New Year!
Ano ba naman itong mga tuta ni gloria, itinago yata nila ang kanilang mga utak sa safety box deposit na kasama ang mga kinurakot. Nasa kangkungan na ang cha cha, amoy imburnal at putik na pilit pa rin binubuhay yon nga lang sa ibang reason daw, pero pagbaligtarin mo man ang mundo, yon pa rin ang dating cha cha na ang pinak-main reason sa pagbuhay nito ay para manatili sa puwesto ang magnanakaw na si gloria. Hindi naman ganoon kababa ang pagiisip at pangunawa ng mga tao para hindi maintindihan ang masamang hangarin ng mga demonyong yan.

Kailan ba nagkaroon ng ‘Good Government’ dito sa atin? All our constitutions are custom made according to the whims of the power in being. Like now, everyone thinks our constitution is topsyturvy and no one here wants it fixed up. Everyone is afraid of the robber next door. Someone has to start it and asap. If what comes out is bad, then we move for its amendment again. Meantime, I give away small lots to the Muslim vendors invading us north of the border to add to their turf rather than have those lots taken away by the govt squatters.
….govt squatter proteges.
You want to negotiate a Peace Treaty with the MILF? Then negotiate and finalize an agreement in a Peace Tteaty or Agreement, but for the sake of the future of the country hundreds of years forward, don’t tinker the Charter just for that one item…That is a short term outlook for a very suspicious motives.
MRivera, Balweg, Deepcaring/contigency,
I don’t know how it happenened but Akismet, the anti-spam program, has identified comments from you as Spam.
So, I have to go through the spam folder (more than 4, 000 in the last 24 hours) one by one to retrieve your comments there. It takes some time.
Anyhow, Akismet said I just have to do that until it learns that comments coming from you should not be classified as spam.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Basically, there are two reasons behind any political move, a good reason and the real reason.
Bansang Moro Region need to get a life! Mindanao and any part thereof are part of the Philippines and will always be Philippines when we all are good and gone. Bansang Moro will never be a State, all the Pilipinos will see to it. Charter Change is not about the Bansang Moro, it’s about whore Gloria’s staying in power.
Ermita and Dureza can take a very long walk on a short pier…They know and we all know that there is nothing wrong with the present system of govt, only those corrupt people that’re governing the country now that don’t even have a clue how to run an honest govt, the like of whore Gloria, AWOL de Castro, and the corrupt cabinets, et al, that are creating the most un-necessary problems with their dishonesty, lying, stealing and cheating.
Just imagine, if Charter Change become a reality it will be the same players be running the country without check and balance. It will get even worsen, surely. Desperation time for whore Gloria, ending is inevitable, getting much nearer for whore Gloria’s comfort, kaya bina-baboy na talaga naman.
vic,
gloria will not be there if not for her equally greedy supporters and defenders who have nothing in their hollow heads but getting share in all her loot. also, it is the starving people’s bought support and admiration that keep the pimp glued in her stolen seat.
happy new year and three kings!

Mass lay-off sa gobyerno
Nina Noel Abuel at Rose Miranda
Malawakang baklasan sa trabaho ang sasalubong sa mga kawani ng gobyerno sa taong ito at ang unang sigwada ng mass lay-off ay agad umanong ilalarga ngayong buwan.
Ito ang inihayag kahapon ng Confederation for Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees (Courage) kung saan malaking bilang diumano ng mga empleyado ng pamahalaan ang maaapektuhan.
Ayon kay Ferdinand Gaite, national president ng nasabing grupo, plano ng pamahalaang Arroyo na mabawasan ng 420,000 ang bilang ng 1.4 milyong workforce nito ngayong taon.
http://www.abante.com.ph/issue/jan0308/news02.htm
o, di ba maganda na ang ekonomiya? bakit magbabawas na naman ng empleyado ang gobyerno?
tama ito, dagdag gugutumin at gagawing busabos para madagdagan ang kukulong tiyan na magbubunsod ng paglulunsad ng araw araw na malawakang protesta upang mapadali ang pagpapatalsik kay gloria!
Ka magno,
Lahat ng pagpupugay sa iyo:
Maligayang Pasko, Masaganang Bagong Taon, at higit sa lahat, Maligayang Kaarawan sa iyo!
Mula sa kabilang sulok ng disyerto,
Enchong
ka enchong, sa inyong lahat dito sa mabunying bahay ni ate,
maraming salamat sa pagbati kahit masama ang loob ko dahil wala ni isang nakarating sa aking handaan kung saan limang camel at dalawampung tupa ang aking ipinatumba.
‘ayun, nangalay ang mga pobreng hayop, pagtayo nila merong komang na ang paa, merong naninigas ang leeg at merong hila ang katawan na sa paglalakad.
problema ko ngayon ang pagpapahilot para masaulian ang mga pobre!
bale ba naman, eh hiniram ko lamang ‘yun sa katabi naming pastulan.
Happy New Year sa lahat ng taga-Ellenville!
Maraming niluluto ang mga unggoy sa grupo ng unano sa mabahog ilog. Kailangang bantayan ang bawat galaw ng mga hudas/caiphas/barabas/hestas at baka malusutan na naman tayo.
May balita ba si Yuko tungkol duon sa Philippine poperty sa Japan na ipapa-develop ata sa company na di naman sa bidding. Si Ermita ata ang lumalakad. Malamang na may lagayan na namang nangyari.
sino ang maniniwala kay edong ermita-e na para sa kagalingan ng mga kapatid na muslim ang layunin ng isinusulong nilang cha cha!
huwag na silang gumamit pa ng sasangkalaning mga tao para lamang mapaniwala ang taongbayan sa makasarili nilang layon. hindi pa man nag-iinit sa loob ng malakanyang ang kinakalyong puwet ni gloria noong kaaagaw pa lamang niya ang kapangyarihan ay cha cha na ang isiningit niya’t kinalimutan ang mga pangakong pagbabago at pagkakaisa.
ganu’n din noong maluwalhati niyang maipandaya ang panalo noong 2004. ibinasura na, pinipilit pa rin nilang buhayin at kung ano anong panlilinlang pa ang ipinapain?
paano pa maniniwala ang sambayanan na paglilingkod sa bayan ang kanilang hinahangad at hindi ang pagpapalawig sa pananatili sa kapangyarihan?
tsk. tsk. tsk. tsk.
edong ermita-e, style n’yo, BULOK!
Matagal nang balita iyan, broadbandido. Mga hapon nga ang nagbisto na non-existent iyong bidder na gawa-gawa lang ng mga ungas. Pinagbibintangan pa si Ermitang uto-uto na hindi alintana kung masira ang reputation niya o hindi sa pagsipsip sa unano. Tindi din ano?
Akala nila makakalusot sila lalo pa ngayong nakatimbre sila on requests ng mga concerned Filipinos at sympathizers dito sa Japan. Iyan, dear friends, ang nagagawa ng matiyagang bumabatikos sa mga kriminal. May request nga ngayon na imbestigahan ng pulis iyong sinasabing Tsuchiya daw na wala namang kompanya. Balita hinihingi ngayon ng mga authority dito ang credential noong mga dummy nilang mga hapon daw! Laking eskandalo iyan kapag nagkataon. Pero ang problema sa mga politiko sa Pilipinas, karamihan makapal ang mga mukha. Ganid kasi! Sa amin iyan, marami nang nagpakamatay.
Kaya, arya sa pagbatikos sa mga magnanakaw! Tuloy ang laban!
Cha cha a never ending story of Mr. Trapo De Venecia, former Tabako and Tita Glo labandera.
Dapat munang resolbahin ang mga problemang kinakaharap nila since 2001 till present?

Unfinished business by MR. EXPOSE (Amb. Ernesto Maceda)
01/03/2008
As 2007 exited, unfinished business and projects dot th
e landscape.
Among the glaring example:
1. NAIA Terminal 3 still remains closed and unable to start operations.
2. Self-sufficiency in rice has not been seen attained with rice imports now reaching 2 million metric tons a year.
3. The decline in the quality of education has not been arrested with millions of children of school age not in school or have dropped out.
4. Corruption has not been minimized. On the contrary, it has grown by leaps and bounds earning for the government the second most corrupt tag in Asia and for GMA the title of the most corrupt president of all time.
5. Many communities, including parts of Metro Manila, still do not have safe, potable drinking water.
6. The promise to create 10 million jobs from 2004 to 2010 is way off target with millions now leaving for overseas jobs. Millions of Filipinos are still unemployed.
7. The search for Jonas Burgos, two UP coeds and hundreds of victims of forced disappearances is still fruitless.
8. The “war” against smuggling reiterated yearly by GMA has failed. Smugglers continue to thrive, some of them becoming “legitimate” operators of malls, or owning condominium buildings and seen in Malacañang parties.
9. The illegal drug industry continues to defy police authorities and flagrantly does its business in many street corners.
10. Cases of graft against former Secretary Nani Perez, Comelec commissioners, AFP generals and senior officers and other high officials of government are still sleeping in the offices of the Ombudsman on the Sandiganbayan.
11. Joc-Joc Bolante is still abroad and the fertilizer funds scam, as confirmed by the Commission on Audit reports, have not been acted upon by the Executive department, the PAGC or the Ombudsman.
12. The ZTE broadband deal is still under investigation.
13. The campaign to arrest the 130 Abu Sayyaf rebels who massacred and beheaded 14 Marines in Basilan is still ongoing.
14. The all-out war against the New People’s Army (NPA) is bogged down by AFP/PNP corruption and demoralization with the NPAs raiding municipal buildings and police stations unresisted. Meanwhile, the peace talks remain suspended.
15. There is still no closure on the 2004 “Hello Garci” election cheating scandal. A fake president is still in Malacañang.
Resolution. Speaking over Umagang kay Ganda program on Channel 2 and ANC cable TV, former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada confirmed to Anthony Taberna that if the six opposition “presidentiables” do not unite, he may be persuaded to run. After 9 1/2 years of poverty, pain and suffering, crime and corruption under GMA, it is unthinkable and unacceptable that a GMA surrogate will occupy Malacañang for another six years. The opposition should field its strongest candidate. Vice President Noli de Castro is no pushover.
While GMA is enjoying a leisurely six-day vacation in Baguio, Erap has been busy preparing 30,00 gift bags and distributing them to poor people in Smokey Mountain, Vitas, Parola, Baseco in Manila, Payatas and Pagasa in Quezon City and the San Juan resettlement project in Taytay, Rizal. Erap also took time out to visit the 79 kids at the Damas house in Paco, a project he rebuilt in 1999 after it burned down.
One thing sure, Erap has his big heart for the poor still in place and his desire to help them is stronger than ever.
Erap personally ordered assistant Evelyn Carballo to buy Jollibee hamburgers and spaghetti for the 79 Damas orphans. Attention, Tony Tan Kat Tiong. Tie down Erap to an advertising contract and use that heart-tugging merienda scene of Erap with the kids. How about sending some burgers to the kids once a month, Tony?
Prejudging. The legal issue on whether Erap can still run for president in 2010 will have to be tried and decided by the Comelec and the Supreme Court.
Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, the commissioner who suddenly resigned from the task force to investigate electoral fraud in Lanao and Malacañang, has surprisingly come out with a statement that Erap is constitutionally banned from running again for president in 2010.
That’s prejudging the case. When the case comes before the Comelec in 2010, he should then in inhibit himself.
Hi Maám Ellen,
Thank you for your concern! I tried to open new username as “balweg08”, but still hoping the 1st one must be removed from the spams category.
I’m very happy again to be with our fellow Ellenville bloggers!
Ka aga namang 2008 magpaekek nitong si Gloria. Hindi man lang binigyang pagkakataon na makapag-beer ang mga kelots para isilebreyt ang bagong taon.
Panis na ang style ay ‘yun pa rin ang ginagamit. Kunwari ay ayuda sa Bangsamoro pero ang totoo ay upang maipasa nila ang chacha.
Ayaw tayong patulugin, therefore….hindi tayo matutulog para bantayan ang binabalak nilang muling pambababoy sa ating Konstitusyon!
Happy pagbabalik, Mrivera. Na Akismet ka pala, heheh! Hapi Beerday uli!
Si Balweg ay nami-miss ko na rin!
Sang-ayon ako sa sinabi mo Ellen na dapat ngayon ay mag-ingay na tayo tungkol sa 2010 eleksyon para ang interes ng mga tao ay dito matuon. Tiyak mahihirapan silang isulong ang kanilang Chacha.
Ang sabi nga ng ate ko, sa bayan namin ay tuwing eleksyon lang buhay na buhay at nakakalaban ng parehas ang mga baryotik. Sige, labanan si Gloria sa pamamagitan ng pag-iingay sa eleksyon 2010 nang mataranta at makagawa ng mas masahol (meron pa ba?) na pagkakamali na siyang tuluyang mag-iitsapwera sa kanyang kapangitan.
Rumors are going around that Loren Legarda might soon join the administration. Hmmm…kaya pala tahimik siya ngayon. Hindi ako magtataka sa babaeng iyan. Her ambition to be the country’s top leader has been hanging for a long time now. Popularity and rating wise, mataas pa rin. Pero gusto ba ng mga tao iyan comes 2010? We’re not sure. Sawa na ang mga tao sa mga babaeng pangulo ng Pilipinas (no offense to women).
Brownberry,
Loren was my Dad’s fave when she was just a neophyte senator, not now. He was so disappointed with her because of her oportunista attitude. Itsapwera na siya sa tatay ko na sinusunod ng buong angkan namin.
Not Loren loren sinta! (pahiram Rose).
Yehey, eleksyon na naman!
Hi Chi,
Hapi 3kings!
Na akimet ang mga comments ko, baka natunugan ni Barrias eh itinimbre kaya heto since December pa ako di makapasok di to sa Ellenville at i reported already this matter to Maám Ellen.
Hoping very soon the akimet will open my user name not as spam but geniune e-mail ito.
Grabe din dito sa cyber highway pag napagkamalan ka na hoax eh junk ang message. Dapat si GMA ang BIG SPAM eh!
Have a nice day Maám Ellen to ALL my fellow bloggers!
I’m here now again to share with you our daily unfinished subject.
Na akimet ang user name ko “balweg” at i already coordinated this matter to Maám Ellen and advised me to register again with another user name.
Hoping my new a.k.a. will be okey now. I missed all of you during xmas and new year, but i’m very happy again to be more active this year 2008 in giving my personal comments/point of views, suggestions and others as long as it will be for the better of our country and kababayans.
Mabuhay ang Ellenville community.
Thank you Maám Ellen, MABUHAY po kayo at pagpalain ng Panginoong Hesukristo!
Erap accepts Ramos 2010 run challenge
‘I’ll give FVR an 8-M lead on a one-on-one presidential race’—Estrada. (www.tribune.net)
Masaya toh! Huwag na lang tayong mag-chacha, tutal ay sila sila rin ang nagtsatsatsahan!
Chi: Loren traces her roots from Antique..her grandmother was from Pandan, Antique. You are right..she does have an attitude of being an opportunista…kung sa ganda mas maganda siya ng di hamak compared to goria..sa talino? (mas matalino rin ba siya sa matsing kaya noong isa?) I know both of them are graduates of Assumption…and while there maybe many graduates of Assumption who are intelligent, the school is not known for it’s academic excellence in the Phil..) Angara-gara ni Loren..kaya nga ang kanta Loren, Loren sinta. She was a guest of the PIDC NYC some moons ago..at nag linked siya with the Batanguenos. Ngayon ni “labis te” niya si Leviste…ala eh ano ga? another Assumptionista? ala eh ano ga? Waay angay matuod ang politics sa atin. Ay Ay Kalisud!
..ang gusto ata nila ay ang sayaw na Cha cha todo todo..urong sulong…at ginagawa nilang na tango ang mga tao..tango–this word was coined from tanga-na-gago pa! The Filipinos are far from that…hindi sila mag ta tango and neither will they do the cha-cha.
..Nakakalungkot na pinaglalaruan lang ng mga leaders ang election and politics sa atin…Malungkot na walang true opposition. Nasa mga tao din yon..kung papayag sila..kung mabili sila..it is their choice…
Hay salamat at nakapasok din ako. It took me forever doing this. Better late than never. Happy New year to everyone! Let’s all Hope for a bright 2008. “Hope is a good thing and maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies”(Finding Forrester). CHA-CHA is a desperate move of GMA to cling to power. Masarap ang nakaupo sa trono na ang pera parang tubig kung gastusin kaya bakit nga naman sya aalis kung makakalusot ang CHA-CHA total pera lng naman ang katapat ng mga alipores nya “Money talks, money works”.
Rose,
Yup, mas maganda si Loren because Gloria has a face only a mother can love. Pero parehas sila na power hungry female bitches!
natoi,
Balik na naman sa hirap pumasok sa Ellenville. Hindi lang ikaw pero walang iwanan dito kaya try and try again lang.
A bright 2008 for you, too!
Ok, Let us for the sake of argument the country needs a charter change perhaps for the betterment of governance, electoral reforms, judicial reforms, equality in distribution of wealth, but the Charter is The Supreme Law of the Land, and it needs a very Careful and Diligent Preparation that also requires the involvement of All Parties of Interest for the Future of the country not in just for the Short Term but 50 years or More in the Future. so the Question is Why Rush when there are so Many unresolved issues still on the Table…The 2004 election, the Garci Tapes, The NBN Deal, the Malacanang after Breakfast giveaways, and many more and not a single one of them been resolved to the public satisfaction…
Magno (happy new year sa iyo at sa pamilya mo),
Re: 420,000 ang bilang ng 1.4 milyong workforce nito ngayong taon.
She will deploy them to uncharterred territories like cattle to rake in dollars for her flagging govt.
Hi Chi/AdeBrux/Rose,
Praise God my username already IN again, thanks to Maám Ellen effort and concern.
Hirit uli tayo.
Miss you all!
Sana ang husay at galing ng mga advisers ni tita Glo eh gamitin sa mabuting bagay especially sa pagkakaisa ng mamamayang Pilipino at umiral ang tunay na demokrasya sa ating bansa.
Eh walang katapusang issue yang cha cha ni Tabako, gusto talagang maipwesto si De Venenicia sa Malacanang. Wag naman eh Trapo yan at galamay ni GMA.
More than 14 pesos ang nawala sa padalang 1 dolyar ng OFWs sa bawat pamilya, so dapat turuan nating ang ating mga kampamilya na NEVER nang iboboto sa 2010 ang lahat ng balimbing na Tongressman sa bawat probinsiya sila ang puno’t dulo ng pamamayagpag ni GMA sa Palasyo.
At ang taong-bayan ang nagpapasan ng hirap sa buhay.
Papayag ba tayo na harapan tayong niloloko ng mga Tongresman na nahalal para protektahan pala si GMA.
Dapat walang kababayan o kamag-anak sa pagpili ng mga mamumuno sa Bayan para di tayo niloloko.
Happy New Year to all!
Cha-cha na naman. Talagang hindi natuto, at patuloy pa sa pang uuto. Anong klaseng liders ang mga ito?
Hoping our Million OFWs and Immigrants abroad will educate our families back home.
Remember, our TRAPO and Balimbing na politicians eh mag rerealign yan before 2010 at maglilipatan yan ng partido at for sure 100%, mga switik yan na maglulundagan ng bakod at kakampi kung sino ang sure nilang mananalo sa darating na halalan kung mayroon man.
Dapat makuha natin ang datos kung sinu-sino yang mga tuta ni GMA para sa 2010 eh MARK X na sila. Ang mga balimbing at traydor sa ating Konstitusyon eh dapat walang puwang sa lipunan.
Sila ang ANAY ng lipunan, kaaway ng demokrasya at pahirap sa bayan.
Hi Hawaiianguy,
Same to you and also Happy 3 kings ha!
Props lang nila ito to misled the people kasi nga isang tambak na problema ang dapat resolbahin, pero walang nangyayari.
Kailangan kumilos na ang 11 million OFWs/Immigrants to teach them (GMA and cohorts)a lesson para matauhan na sila.
I noticed from the past few years ang mga OFWs/Immigrants eh dedma lang sa pampulitikang usapin sa ating bansa kaya eh iniasa lang natin sa ating mga kapamilya ang pagpili ng iboboto.
Hayon nabola-bola lang o kaya napangakuan ng matatamis na dila eh naibenta na ang boto.
Isang lesson ito na dapat ituwid at baguhin para di na tayo umasa pa sa mga corrupt/trapo/balimbing na politiko.
Mrivera, totoong pinatawa mo ako nang husto sa mga handa mo pero kumukulo pa rin ang dugo ko sa mga demonyong tuta ni gloriang magnanakaw. Tama ang sabi ni Yuko “Tuloy ang Laban”.
Brownberry: Sawa na ang mga tao sa mga babaeng pangulo ng Pilipinas (no offense to women).
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Brownberry. I am a woman myself but the only female leader I admired was fellow OUS member, Maggie Thatcher. Iyong mga petty colegialas of the Philippines, walang sinabi!
I don’t like Loren myself even before she joined politics. Ang tigas ng accent, markang Assumptionista! Puro arte lang! Yuck!
Yeah, “Sawa na ang mga tao sa mga babaeng pangulo ng Pilipinas (no offense to women).” kaya pinalitan ng Erap…
Three women presidents? One (Cory) is enough. Two (Goria) is too much. Three (Loren?) is a poison it can kill a person..Remember those lines….and two Assumptionistas one after another…no puede ser!
balweg: Happy New Year and welcome back..tuloy ang laban!
I dont think its fair to say they — Cory and GMA — were bad presidents because they were women. They were bad president because they made bad decisions. Those decisions were not made because they were women. They were made based on their own experiences and based on who adviced them, who surrounded them, whose self-inerest was promoted at the time. Besides, I hardly think that Cory and GMA are even in the same league when it comes to protecting personal interests and corruption. GMA surpasses even Marcos!
Agree Klingon! “were bad presidents because they were women. They were bad president because they made bad decisions.”
Was Erap any better? Was FVR more honest?
or less dishonest?
klingon: you are right it is unfair to Cory..for one thing she didn’t wish to be president but she was duly elected and she followed the wishes of the people..She made a number of bad decisions because she was ill advised…Cory was not ambitious..but at that time the country needed someone to unite..kaya lang people like Enrile, FVR took advantage of her being politically naive..In goria’s case however, nangagaw siya…wasn’t it said that Erap has not resigned and she already was swore in by Davide…Then she said she will not run but she did (at mabilis pa) nangdaya para mabilis..Ang sabi nga Woman is fickle all false together..that is exactly what she did..And to lead a country? with so many lapses of judgment..ay ay kalisud!
btw..natalo si Hillary sa primary sa Iowa…nanalo si Obama..history in the making? a black president? bakit hindi? “Why should only the white man have fun”? ang title ng libro ni Reginald Lewis..the husband of Loida..sana tuloy tuloy na ang panalo ni Obama..incidentally hindi ako democrat pero pagnagkataon..puede na rin…this indeed is the land of opportunity..
Rose,
But New Hampshire is around the corner — seems to me that early on in the game, Hillary was aware she might be thumped in Iowa, hence the focus of her efforts was New Hampshire. Her defeat in Iowa could resemble Bush v Reagan scenario decades ago when Reagan placed 2nd to Bush in Iowa but ended up winning party nomination.
Hi Rose,
Happy 3 kings!
Well, still hoping 2008 is a full of blessings and peacefull co-existing of our fellow Kababayans.
A new year of our kababayang OFWs and Immigrants/Citizens worldwide to unite and to stand united against GMA regime and to all Trapo/Balimbing politicians now holding gov’t positions and/or elected last 2004.
Ito ang tunay na laban ng mga OFWs con Immigrants.
Remember, ginagamit ng mga mayayaman ang mahihirap nating kababayan sa kanilang personal na ambisyon sa buhay, kaya dapat sama-sama tayong kumilos (NOW) against these people.
Wag tayong papayag na salahulain nila ang Pinas at ilugmok sa kahirapan ang ating mga kababayan. Use our resources, like during Rizal’s time di ba noong nilimbag ang NMT eh ginastusan yan ni Dr. Mixomo Viola ang librong isinulat ni Gat. J.Rizal upang mabasa ng mga nakararaming Pinoy, kaya dito nagsimula ang pag-aaklas ng sambayanang Pinoy against Espanya.
Copycat….use our resources US$, Euro, Sterling, Yen, Riyals, Dinar, H$, Yuan, Ringgit, Peso, Frank at lahat na, ewan ko lang kung di matauhan yang gobyernong Arroyo.
Tutal pera pera lang ang labanan eh, bakit tayo papayag? Di ba sa remittance na dolyar umaasa yang central bank, think about kung turuan natin sila ng leksyon, one month lang tayong di magpadala ng US$?
bago isulong at pag-usapan ‘yang cha cha na ‘yang ilang panahon ng ibinaon sa inis ng taong bayan, sagutin muna ng mag-anak na pidal ang kaliwa’t kanang katiwaliang kanilang hina-rumba’t pilit pinagtatakpan.
papanagutin din si gloria sa paggamit ng mataas na takong na sapatos para magmukha siyang kasintaas ni aiza gayung si mahal lamang naman ang kapantay niya.
dapat siyang kasuhan ng obstruction of height limit!
“one month lang tayong di magpadala ng US$?”
That will surely dent this enchanted kigngdom’s “economic boom”…
Hi AdeBrux,
Kumusta na! Recharged again, tuloy ang laban!
OFWs con Immigrants against GMA regime, maganda bang pakinggan?
Atleast di tayo ihahanay sa mga rightist, leftist, trapo, balimbing, abu sayaf at kung anu-ano pa di ba.
AdeBrux,
100% purdoy ang enchanted ni GMA….peke pala kasi gawa lang sa ice kaya unti-unting natutunay eh!
Kailangan natin ang masusing pagpaplano to halt our padalang US$ once and for all, ito na ang tamang panahon to voice out our saloobin sa gobyernong Arroyo.
Bolahin ba naman tayo na Bagong Bayani daw ang mga OFWs, yaks parang kendi na ipangsusuhol sa atin pero kabig na naman sila ng 25US$ + OWWA fee + Philhealth at -14 pesos/1US$.
Ito ba ang ganti nila sa mga maka-Bagong Bayani nila na tinuringan?
Sino ba ang affected sa labang ito di ba ang ating mga kapamilya sa Pinas?
50% of OFW dont care what is happenning around here.
60% cant afford to miss installment payments on the house, on the loans, etc.
What about the school money, text money, hi-tech money,etc
Besides 80% are not with the opposition.
5% cant dent so much the economy by not sending home money. And what is held one month will be sent next month anyways.The foreign exchange might even go worst if they dont send promptly. Seamen dollars are collected in country every month. That leaves the dollar scheme a futile idea.
Hi Valdemar,
Happy 2008 to you.
Galing mo sa arithmetic Pare! Korek ka diyan. Ang mga OFWs eh dedma lang sa enchanted kingdom tralala ni PGFMA. Bigyan ka nga naman ng parangal na Äng mga Bagong Bayani” eh!
But the good thing now eh halos lahat eh umaaray na sa laki ng nabawas na padalang dolyar sa pamilya backhome.
Imagine ang 1,000.00US$ eh mabawasan ng morethan 14T pesos x everymonth = 168,000 pesos +/year.
A big lesson sa lahat ng mga OFWs kasi nga naman eh halos lahat eh gustong iupo si GMA noong EDSA II, kaya sising tuko sila ngayon.
Markahan ng X itong si Jesus Dureza, pag nag ambisyon yang tumakbo sa 2010 from any political position dapat never na iboto yan.
Akalain nýo ba naman na isasangkalan pa ang constitution para lang ma please ang mga rebeldeng MILF/MNLF con abu sayaf. Baligtarin mo man ang mundo ang aim ng mga iyan eh to separate from GRP and form their own country.
Payag ba kayo?
Isip lamok talaga ang mga advisers ni PGMA, wala nang iniisip na kagandahan sa bayan.
AdB: You are right. I just got so excited about Obama’s winning.. and it was not the primary but simpoly a caucus.. because it is an indication of the people’s desire for change..if Hillary wins..it is still for a change..first woman president.. but would she be as strong or stronger as M. Thatcher to lead a country? And Huckabee, the evangelical presidential hope to be also won for the republican..again an indication for change…intereting.
sana sa Phil. ganoon din..it so frustrating to see FVR and Erap sounding off to run..pinaglalaruan lang nila ang politics sa atin..so with GMA..pinaglalaruan lang nila ang mga tao…as though it is just a game of “spin the bottle”. Nakakadismaya!
Hi Rose,
Happy 2008 to you!
Uncle Sam political wannabees have guts and decency in their lives, but compare to our politicians most of them are trapo, balimbing and corrupt.
Kung si Among Ed, Mike Velarde, Eddie Villanueva ang tatakbong presidente sa 2010 may pag-asa pa ang Pinas.
Balweg,
Huwag mo ng isaman si MV at EV. Si Among na lang!
Chi,
OK! Si Among Ed na lang for President sa 2010….i wish na magmaterialize ito.
God willing gamitin siyang instrumento to lead our nation against the power of darkness now working in our midst.
Rose:
I’m excited, too, about Obama’s Iowa Caucus victory, because I am not keen about Hilary Clinton and I do not like Edwards.
My folks are traditionally Republican but I’ve been anti-Bush since I can remember. The old man was a pest, and the younger one IMHO the worst president that has ever had.
Romney is a member of our church, and was a return missionary from Europe (France, I guess) but a lot many members of our church who are anti-war are disappointed in him for his support of hawkish Republicans and ambivalent stand on Iraq when the truth is they have no business being there and trying to take control of Iraqi oil.
With Obama as president (I don’t know if he will win but it’s possible with more than half of US voters Afro-American and non-white), hopefully, we can travel again in style, no more of those plastic cutleries, unlocked baggages, etc. Kaya baka lalong mag-abuso iyong mga itim. Heaven forbid!
Yuko,
Si Huckabee, evangelist din diba? Pero napanood ko sa You Tube, aba, tumutugtog ng bass guitar at ang piyesa, “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Naki-jam pa sa isang blues band among other videos also in YouTube. The same tactic employed by Bill Clinton to reach out to the young voters.
Yes, Tongue, Huckabee, according to him, is an evangelist, but with a lot many false prophets now snaring the faithful, we cannot be sure that this man will lead the Americans to heaven! Baka pa nga sa impiyerno madala sa totoo lang!
One thing sure is that Romney did not get any endorsement from our church even when one of his kins was a prominent member of our church hierarchy because we firmly believe in the separation of church and state.
My mother is voting for whoever will be chosen by the Republican to run for president. The rest of my siblings, I understand, are venting their anger on Bush by voting for the final Democrat bet in this year’s election except when Hilary is put in the helm or they stick to the Republican bet.
Ayoko sanang makialam but I have a lot many things at stake over there being affected by any wrong choice of president of the US of A.
Si FVR, less dishonest? Sinong may sabi? Please, huwag naman kayong magpatawa!
Yuko: many are against Obama kasi he is Afro..so what..is the choice of presidency based on color? or race? I am not a registered democrat..but if he runs for the primary I will switch just so I can vote for him as candidate..kung hindi man siya lalabas as candidate I will vote for someone else..I too am not keen about Hillary..
..what I can not understand sa Phil. is out of the many millions of intelligent Filipinos, not one of them is a man of God or a righteous man? I don’t mean mga pari..they should be out of the political race..hindi naman kailangan pari or ministro para maging man of God or righteous man..We don’t need a politician but somebody like Thomas More..basta maki Dios. Wala ba? When Fernando Poe run a fellow Antiqueno asked me why I liked him..hindi daw nakatapos ng High School… samantalang si Goria ay may doctorate…ang sagot ko gwapo siya..si Goria ano? Napatawa na lang..
Rose,
Well, pati ako napatawa sa sinabi mo why you liked FPJ. E ang tatay ko nga tinanong ko rin why he went all the way to campaign for FPJ, sabi ba naman e malapit raw ang bahay nila sa bahay ng pamiya ng Da King dun sa Q.C. noong araw at mabuti raw pamilya. Besides, he was an adopted son of Bataan. Kaganda raw bata ni FPJ nung teenager.
Basta ang sabi niya kahit wala pang pinag-aralan si FPJ ay hindi niya ipagpapalit sa isang nangdudoktor na Goooria!
Huh, ang tatay ko ay miembro ng Hoi hoi polloi! heheh!
Balweg,
Good morning. There’s not much qualms if the dollar receded because malaki pa rin ang kinikita unless the OFW families would like to live up with the Joneses. Sabagay, ako Ilocano, di hangad masyado ang maluwang na garage. Pinahihiram ko na lang ang mga rides. O pinauuwi ko sa drivers. Dapat may sariling garage sila.
National politicians and their leaders always promise our muslim broders some perks including the bangsa moro eternal dream. Now its time to collect again but theres the constitutional block always. Kaya hayan, naloloko lamang sila as usual. Bakit di na lang ibigay ang gusto nila. Malapit pa na puntahan sakali ng mga OFW natin as a stepping stone out. Wala naman mawawala sa akin. Laluna sa mga umalis na ng Pilipinas.
“Why Rush when there are so Many unresolved issues still on the Table…The 2004 election, the Garci Tapes, The NBN Deal, the Malacanang after Breakfast giveaways, and many more and not a single one of them been resolved to the public satisfaction… – vic ”
I agree. Unless we can resolve these issues, we cannot hope to have “genuine, disinterested, constitutional amendments.” And when we find closure to the Garci tapes issue, the detained officers will be vindicated, let the truth be heard and accepted in this country for once, we owe it to ourselves!
Rose: ..hindi daw nakatapos ng High School… samantalang si Goria ay may doctorate…ang sagot ko gwapo siya..si Goria ano? Napatawa na lang..
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Rose. Remember how she looked like when her father was the temporary occupant of Malacanang? I never ever heard anyone saying that the Dorobo was cute. Ang daming inis sa kaniya sa totoo lang dahil ubod daw talaga ng yabang pangit naman. Kundi pa nauso ang pagpaparetoke ng mukha, baka kahit kamukha ni Nora Aunor, hindi nangyari! 😛
Rose, si Obama talagang Afro-American. Kenyan ang tatay niya at American ang ina. Laking Indonesia iyan sa totoo lang. Hopefully, he will not emulate the bad examples of Bush na ginagaya ni Gloria Dorobo.
