Resbak ng taga-media
Nagsampa kahapon sa Supreme Court ang labin-isang personnel ng ABS-CBN ng kaso laban sa mga opisyal ng pamahalaan na sangkot sa pag-aresto at pagposas sa mga mamamahayag noong Nov. 29 na insidente sa Manila Peninsula.
Humingi sila ng writ of amparo or pagbabawal sa mga kapulisan at sino mang opisyal ng pamahalaan na kasuhan sila tungkol sa nangyari noong Nov. 29 at ulitin ang kanilang ginawa na panggigipit sa media sa mga coverages na mangyari balang-araw.
Ang mga nagsampa ay sina Ces Drilon, senior correspondent; Mayjay Cabalit, researcher; Melanie Masecampo, segment producer; Ruperto Ambil II, field producer; Mark Cadampog, field producer; Emelito Hao, cameraman; Norbert Calupitan, cameraman; Alexis Acuin, Engineering van technical crew; Bernie Lito Mallari, cameraman; Ransy Villan, microwave technician; at Noel Alamar, DZMM Radyo patrol correspondent.
Ang kinasuhan ay sina Interior Ronaldo Puno, Raul Gonzalez, PNP Chief Avelino Razon, NCR Police Chief Geary Barias Police Supt. Asher Dolina, at ilang opisyal pa ng DILG at DOJ.
Sa kanyang pahayag sinabi ni Ces Drilon, “Noong nasa Peninsula Manila ako ang aking sampung kasamahan sa ABS-CBN ang tangi naming pakay ay maghatid ng balita sa aming mga manonood. Sa bandang huli, sa hindi namin inaasahang pagkakataon at kagustuhan ay kami na ang naging balita, dahil sa ginawang paghuli ng awtoridad.
“Ngayon kami ay nasa harap ninyo dahil sa pagdulog namin sa mataas na hukuman upang ihayag na hindi maaaring isawalang bahala ang pag-aresto sa amin ang ang mga sumunod na banta ng mga katungkulan. Hindi po ito tungkol sa amin kundi po para sa lahat ng mga mamamahayag — upang galangin ang malayang pamamahayag na napakahalaga sa isang demokratikong lipunan.”
Sa kanilang demanda, isiniwalat nila ang pahirap na ginawa sa kanila ng mga pulis.
Si Ambil na siyang unang-unang lumabas sa Rizal room kung saan nandoon sina Sen. Antonio Trillanes, Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim at iba pang opisyal ng Magdalo. Sabi ni Ambil, pinaluhod siya at hinablot ng Special Action Force na pulis ang kanyang ID.
Si Acuin naman ay pinadapa sa sahig na maraming bubog mula sa salamin na binasag ng tangke. Nasugatan pa nga ang kanyang kamay ng bubog. Pinaluhod din sina Calupitan at Hao hapang tinututukan sila ng baril.
Si Melanie Masecampo, hindi pinayagan pumunta sa restroom kahit na ihing-ihi na. Kaya napilitan kaming sumama na sa mga pulis sa Bicutan dahil nagmakaawa si Melanie, “Sige na pumayag na tayo kung saan tayo dalhin para makaalis na tayo dito at nang makaihi na tayo.”
Sa sobra talagang hirap ni Melai, nang huminto ang bus sa Camp Bagong Diwa, tumakbo pababa kahit hinaharang siya ng guwardiya sa bus. Doon siya umihi sa likod ng isang kotse.
Ang isinampa ng ABS-CBN kahapon ay simula lang ng aksyon ng taga-media para protektahan ang malayang pamamahayag na mahalaga upang mapanatili natin ang ating demokrasya. Sa loob din ng linggo na ito, mas maraming journalists pa ang magsasampa ng kaso laban sa mapanupil na administrasyong Arroyo.

This is just the first of several suits media are filing to protect press freedom.
by Tetch Torres
Inquirer
Apostol: ‘amparo’ on Nov. 29 is moot
Several members of the media have sought the intervention of the Supreme Court over the arrests that were made against them following their coverage of the siege at a hotel in Makati City last November.
In a 35-page petition for a writ of amparo and/or a writ of prohibition, the journalists, all from television network ABS-CBN, also sought the high court’s protection from similar actions in the future by the government.
“We are asking the high court from effecting and making threats of, future warrantless arrests and acts of harassment of petitioners and other journalists, in the course or in consequence of the legal performance of their work, such as in the live coverage of breaking news events similar to the Manila Peninsula stand off,” the journalists said.
Petitioners said their arrest last November 29 when rebel civilians and soldiers, led by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, took over the Manila Peninsula Hotel to dramatize their demand for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to resign not only violated their rights to liberty and security but also their right to free speech, free press and right to information.
“This is not only a fight involving journalists but this is also a fight of the people,” the group’s lawyer Mario Bautista said.
“Their constitutional rights to liberty and security were violated when they were illegally arrested. But worse, there continue to be very real threats that such rights will again soon be disregarded and infringed upon. No less than some of the most powerful officials in the government have warned that petitioners, and other journalists, may once more be illegally arrested, harassed, and prosecuted for such past and future, coverage of news breaking events,” their petition read in part.
They said illegal arrests, acts of harassments, were intended to intimidate, scare, cow, and bully them and other practicing journalists in the country.
Defending their assertion that their arrests were illegal, the petitioners stressed that there was no ground for their warrantless arrests because “they were not committing, were not attempting to commit, nor had they just committed an offense in the presence of an arresting officer.”
The petitioners added that warrantless arrests required not only probable cause but also good faith on the part of the arresting officers.
“Here there was no probable cause. Worse the arrests were tainted with bad faith and malice and were intended to harass, intimidate, cow and scare journalists in the legitimate performance of their duties. This is evident from the palpable arbitrariness and heavy-handedness attending the arrests,” they said.
Named respondents in the petition were Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, National Police chief Avelino Razon, PNP-National Capital Region chief Geary Barias, Chief Superintendent Asher Dolina, and several John Does.
The petitioners are Ces Orena-Drilon, Mayjay Cabalit, Melanie Masecampo, Ruperto Ambil II, Mark Cadampog, Emelito Hao, Norberto Calupitan, Alexis Acuin, Bernie Lito Mallari, Randy Villan, and Noel Alamar.

Ang isinampa ng ABS-CBN kahapon ay simula lang ng aksyon ng taga-media para protektahan ang malayang pamamahayag na mahalaga upang mapanatili natin ang ating demokrasya. Sa loob din ng linggo na ito, mas maraming journalists pa ang magsasampa ng kaso laban sa mapanupil na administrasyong Arroyo.
It was reported that there were about 40 journalists present in that Manila Pen incident. Why only 11 petitioners? Famous journalists like our very own Ellen and Herman Tiu Laurel did not sign the petition. Why? During the Press Conference, ABS-CBN legal counsel Atty. Bautista said it’s understandable many journalists did not sign the petition out of fear. No one wants to go against the big guys. Their family members might be harassed in the street, at the airport making the lives of these journalists and their families difficult. I’m sure Ellen, Herman and the others are not afraid. However, may we know why they did not join the petitioners? Or are they still thinking about it? What’s making them hesitant? Inasmuch as the topic is about this Writ of Amparo, I think we here deserve some answers not only to satisfy our curiosity but for our information and guidance. Thank you.
This is just the first of several suits media are filing to protect press freedom.
I said the other day that we are filing a class suit. In our meeting tonight, we decided to file two more suits. Details will be known Monday next week.
Thanks a lot, Ellen. Please update us on this matter. I now remember that your group is filing a class suit. Maybe it might affect this Writ of Amparo that ABS-CBN initiated. Well, tambakan natin sila ng mga kaso at tignan natin kung saan sila dadamputin. Ang hirap sa mga iyan akala nila sila lang ang marunong magdemanda. As far as I know, never has the media been so determined in fighting against the government. Kung noon, kadalasan ang media ang nadedemanda…ngayon nagkakaisa ang media regardless of their network affiliation in their fight against the government’s abuses and violation of press freedom. Anong say mo FG Mike Arroyo? Bakit tameme ka ngayon?
The media must be very deliberate in filing these cases lest they be accused of “forum shopping”.
ace,
Forgive my ignorance but what does that mean?
Yes, Ace. That has been discussed.
Jug, the court does not allow the same person or group of persons filing almost the same case, the same subject, the same pleadings different venues.
Am I correct Ace or Atty?
BB, that’s the reason why I didn’t join the writ of amparo today.
“Forum shopping is considered a serious offense which can be made by a complainant. The law in the Philippines explicitly prohibits the filing of more than one case for the same cause of action in any forum or court of law. The prohibition is done so that the courts will not be clogged by complaints of people who may file more than one complaint in an effort to gain a favorable decision in any of the numerous cases filed.” – wikipedia
A good strategy is for the complainant to affix his/her signature in one complaint alone, kaya siguro hinati-hati ang mga journalist(media)into groups.
The more the merrier. The first class suit is the one submitted by TV people. Next will be the photojournalists, I suppose, and the other one will be for news reporters and columnists.
Kailangan mag-ingay to be heard around the world para mapahiya iyong magnanakaw when foreign media bombard her with questions when interviewed during her official and unofficial foreign trips that the media in the Philippines should in fact verify as to their nature para hindi sila madaling madenggoy ni Dorobo.
Maám Ellen,
Try your best Maám to file the necessary action against these gov’t officials who suppressed our media journalists during the PEN standoff.
This is a fight between people of the Philippines AGAINST GMA regime. I do believe na susuportahan kayo ng mga magigiting nating abogado at ng sambayanang Pinoy sa labang ito. Para maparusahan kung sino ang nagkamali, para di na maulit uli ang ganitong scenario sa pagyurak ng mga awtoridad sa kalayaan sa pamamahayag.
Good luck Maám ang Dios ng Kapayapaan ang sa lagina ang susubaybay sa inyong lahat!
That’s what I thought, Ellen…why you didn’t join the petition. I didn’t get to see the content of that Writ of Amparo as well as the class suit your group is preparing. Kapag pareho ang laman ng demanda, baka ma-technical pa di ba?
Natatawa ako kina Ces Drilon na binubuyo ka sumali, Ellen. Of course it’s a big plus for them if you join them.
Anyway, its still a good move, take the fight to them for a change.
Ka BB,
Ang Supreme Court natin eh gaya-gaya talaga, walang pagkakilanlan?
Bakit ka mo, kasi nga eh nangodiko pa sa taga-Latin America para lang maipatupad sa Pinas ang writ of Amparo (legally means protection). Hay naku, ito ang ginaya nila, “Mexico’s amparo is found in Articles 103 and 107 of the Mexican Constitution, It consists of the judicial review of governmental action and empowers state courts to protect individuals against state abuses.
Eto ang napulot ko & it says, “The writ of amparo shall hold public authorities, those who took their oath to defend the constitution and enforce our laws, to a high standard of official conduct and hold them accountable to our people.
Reference: http://www.duckyparedes.com/blogs/2007/10/02/the-rule-of-amparo/
Hay naku itong Supreme Court natin eh walang K, ano ba ang ginagawa ng Art.III, section 4 (source: Constitution) and Chapter 2, Art. 26 & 32 (source: Civil Code of the Phil.) at bakit wala bang ngipin ang mga batas sa Pinas?
Look, Chief Justice Reynato Puno officially announced on September 25, 2007 that the Supreme Court of the Philippines had promulgated the Writ of Amparo.
ONLY in the Philippines!
Ka BB,
Nakapanggigigil talaga itong Korte Suprema natin, mga boba pala pag ipatutupad na ang batas?
Gusto mo eh batuhin mo yan ng Article 32 ng Civil Code para matauhan. Tingnan mo ang linaw ng sinasaad dito, it says, “Any public officer or employee, or any private individual, who directly or indirectly obstructs, defeats, violates or in any manner impedes or impairs any of the following rights and liberties of another person shall be liable to the latter for damages:
…..2) Freedom of speech. 3) Freedom to write for the press or to maintain a periodical publication; 4) Freedom from arbitrary or illegal detention; 8) The right to the equal protection of the laws; 11) The privacy of communication and correspondence; 13) The right to take part in a peaceable assembly to petition the gov’t for redress of grievances etc. etc.
Dapat sunugin na ang mga batas na ito kung wala rin lang ngipin at kapangyarihan to prosecute whoever guilty on the above issue.
“Dapat sunugin na ang mga batas na ito kung wala rin lang ngipin at kapangyarihan to prosecute whoever guilty on the above issue.” – Balweg
Yeah! After all, sinuno na nila ang Constitution noong 2001!
Ka Balweg, may ngipin naman…kaya lang pustiso.
Ka AdeBrux a have nice day to you!
I second the motion! Tama ka. Yan ang isinasama ng aking loob kaya since then grabe kong ipaglaban sa kapwa natin Pinoy dito sa abroad at sa mga family ko sa Pinas ang ginawa nilang kasalanan sa Bayan.
I stand firmly sa ating Constitution, taas noo akong na ipinagmamalaki ang bayang Pinas sa kabila man ng mga kababuyang ginagawa ng marami nating corrupt politicians and conspirators.
Ka BB,
Yaks, pinatawa mo naman ako….medyo nag-iinit na ang ears ko eh pag ang pinag-uusapan eh ang pag-yurak sa ating Constitution.
Ka Balweg, malayo ang ears sa ngipin eh paanong nag-init ang ears mo? Anyway, gaya nga sa sinabi ng kasama natin noon pang 2001 sinira ang Constitution. Kung ako naman ang tatanungin ninyo, noon pang 1986 nasira.
..narinig ko kanina ang isang opinion regarding Supreme Court justices dito sa US- sa Bloomberg news..all the justices were appointed by a President and their term is for life…they were appointed to protect the constitution..sa ngayon 4 ang conservative, 4 liberals and si Justice Kennedy ang swing vote..and the main reason of the Supreme Court is to protect the constitution..and the rights of the people..I suppose kanoon din sa atin..Lady Justice when equal scales she holds is blind…Supreme Court Justice when nominated goes through a very thorough investigation..before appointed by the Committee of Appointment…nakita ko dito ang ganyan…noong araw mukhang kanyan din sa atin..pero sa ngayon the wind blows differently…at mukhang sunod sunoran lang sa Death of Justice Secretary at hawak sa leeg ni Goria..ang lagay ay iba ngayon..it is not only tragic, it is pathetic…
My constitution ba sa atin? o sa papel lang! may nagsabi dito na ang unang violator ay si goria…at kung peke nga siya bakit nga siya susunod..why should she protect the constitution…
Forum-shopping. Namimili (there are no interpretations of the Tagalog word – choosing, or buying) ng “friendly judge”. A litigant files a case before a court, then when the raffle lands him with a judge not of his liking, he withdraws, then files again, to get a chance at being raffled to a “friendly judge”.
Or, if there are several litigants, they file separate cases, so they have more chances for a friendly judge. Once one of them gets raffled to a friendly judge, then they move to consolidate the case of the unlucky party who is before another judge, so that it is tried by the friendly judge.
The big law firms do not need to do this. They just fix the raffling.
That maneuver is not the monopoly of the crooks. It is also employed by the government, including the Feds in the US.
In the case of Padilla, the Latino accused of being a member of the Al Qaeda, a petition for habeas corpus was filed by his lawyer in New York, where Padilla was initially incarcerated. New York has the reputation of being liberal, so the government moves Padilla to a South Carolina military camp, because those States are conservative.
The Supreme Court of the United States held that one has to sue whoever is holding the prisoner, for which reason, New York had no jurisdiction. This is an obvious case of forum shopping of the Federal government, under the all-purpose guise of “security concerns”.
Sorry. Above, I meant two interpretations of Tagalog.
Can one of you do me a favor by sending this message to GMA?
“Liars do not grow tall, and get protruding teeth and moles on their faces.”
Simula ng bastusin ni Gloria and Pinas Constitution noong 2001 ay wala nang patid ang pagkababoy ng Pinas!
Excuse moi, everyone.
Hey chi! Dumapa ang NYSE, the boards were a sea of red. Watch your portfolio, ha. Diba holiday dyan kahapon (ngayon)? Kahit shortened trading maraming luhaan. Pero ako ito ang type ko, mas volatile mas masaya, kaya lang walang tulugan.
Yung ibang may long positions, get out now.
It’s final…neither Ces nor Ellen!
TV news video shows reporter aiding Faeldon
A woman journalist was caught on video by a TV news team helping fugitive Marine Capt. Nicanor Faeldon escape when troops stormed the Peninsula Manila hotel in Makati last year, according to a police source.
The source said the journalist is neither Ces Oreña-Drilon of ABS-CBN nor Ellen Tordesillas of Malaya newspaper.
Tongue,
You think red will contaminate European Cac 40 boards?
atty: ang ibig bang sabihin ng “raffle” as you used here..parang sa lottery? akala ko kung saan ang venue ng crime doon ang pag file..as in the case of Nov. 29 walk out it happened in Makati kaya doon..I remembered reading a case here in NYC and they doubted the possibility of finding jurors that would be fair or unbiased the lawyers asked for another trial venue..pero sa Phil. hindi naman jury system.. I dread to be called for jury duty..kaya lang nakakalusot ako kasi kung criminal case..and I would be asked if I know or knew of someone in the police force. My late sister used to work as a forensic chemist at the NYPD for more that 20 years..and kung civil case naman like as in landlord tenant..I have a sad experience of naloko ng tenant..hindi na nga nagbayad for a couple of months..na awa ako at hindi ko pinalayas nag bakasyon ako-pagbalik ko umalis sila…kaya hindi ako naka serve as juror..
BB: si Ces Drilon ba taga Iloilo?
OK lang sa US, Rose, kahit may papaano dumaan sa election ang choice ng mga kano. In other words, well-consented ng kalaban. Sa Pilipinas, nakakatakot dahil alam ng lahat na lumabag ng batas si Gloria Dorobo when she cheated, stole votes, and worse plundered the treasury when she ran for president in 2004. Huwag na natin i-consider ang pagyurak ng Constitution noong 2001. Kasabwat doon iyong mga appointees ni Cory at FVR.
Imagine a Supreme Court na ang nagpapalakad mga appointees ng isang kriminal. Dios mahabagin!
Iyan ang napala nilang gaya-gaya sa mga kano hindi naman pareho ang kultura, etc.!
grizzy: it is really beyond me..kung bakit pupunta siya sa
Switzerland to attend an economic forum..What benefit is it to the Phil. economy kung mag attend siya and the image she tries to project of the Phil. ay hindi naman totoo..gutom pa rin ang marami..kung photo ops naman ng mukha niya hindi naman beauty..grabe talaga!
Tongue,
Excuse moi din, everyone.
Loved the volatile trading, too. When you’re not appearing here for many days I knew. Ang sarap mag-trade for weeks now.
Got out of GOOG in Nov. Housing, ewwww! Techs, ewwww din!
Rose:
In the RTC of QC or Manila, maraming judges. Kahit sa maliit na city like Baguio, there are ten or more judges.
When a case is filed, may raffle, as to which among the judges will hear the case, o sa Tagalog/Spanish, kaninong sala mapupunta ang kaso.
Rose,
For Gloria, the presidency meant nothing but dancing with whoever is on the world stage. Sa Swiss, world economic leaders daw, duon naman siya magha-hallucinate ngayon!
Rose, I’ve no idea if Ces is from Iloilo but I know former Senator Franklin Drilon is. I don’t know if she’s related to the former senator. Malaki ang ipinagbago ni Ces…she has become prettier with her long hair and sexy clothes. Matapang at mataray din iyan.
Wetness Apostol said “he was even wondering why the media had to file the case when the arrested journalists had been released.”
Inang Ko, saklolo!
Who, among Gloria’s apostoles, is dumber than Mr. Wetness?!
Rose:
Basically, parehong batas ng Pilipinas except for that clause on the rearmament of Japan and the status of the Emperor sa Constitution ang in-impose ng mga kano sa mga Japanese, but unlike the Filipinos, hindi nilulunok ng mga Japanese ang utos ng mga kano ng walang laban.
Natakot nga si MacArthur nang malaman niyang handang maghiwa ng tiyan ang lahat ng hapon kapag ipinapatay niya noon si Hirohito. At least, may konsensiya ang heneral na iyon at ayaw niyang makonsensiya siya kung mangyari iyon.
Nag-request si MacArthur in fact ng mga experts sa Japan para tumulong ng pag-aayos ng mga batas, etc. ng Japan. Bagay talaga namang may pagmamahal sa bansa iyong mga piniling makiki-cooperate sa mga kano, kaya iyong mga na-draft at na-approve na mga batas noong 1949, kahit hanggang ngayon ginagamit at ipinapairal with practically no revision except perhaps the wordings. Mas simple na ngayon para maintindihan ng lahat at maiwasan ang palusot na hindi naintindihan ang batas kapag nagkaroon ng sigalot sa korte.
In short, iyong batas ng kano, for instance, inayos to fit the Japanese mentality and culture. Sa Pilipinas kasi trying hard na maging kano kahit hindi kaya. Hindi tuloy masunod ang batas at ang labas tuloy kapareho noong mga drug dealers na ita sa America! 😛
The Malacanang boys are saying in unison that the complaint would be dismissed by the Supreme Court; so there’s no need for them to file counter-suit. How do they know it would be dismissed? Baka isa na naman itong complaint at kaso na lutong macao…dahil majority of the Justices in SC are GMA appointees.
Chi: Wetness Apostol said “he was even wondering why the media had to file the case when the arrested journalists had been released.”
******
Nabasa ko rin iyan kahapon, Chi. Sarap tadyakan sa totoo lang. Dada nang dada, no sense naman ang ungas! Abogado ba iyan? Abaw, kung ganyan ang mga abogado sa Pilipinas, wala ngang asenso!
But of course, we know may matitinik din like Atty. Roque for instance. Bilib din ako sa sipag and dedication ni Atty. Trixie Angeles. God bless them for what they do for the aggrieved.
Di ipakita ng mga SC judges na kahit na sila mga appointees ng isang kriminal, hindi rin sila kriminal! 😛
Rose,
Tama ka doon sa sinabi mo. May sinasabing jurisdiction na kung saan nangyari ang krimen doon dapat litisin. Pero itong kaso ng mga journalists, petition for Writ of Amparo na SC lang yata ang may jurisdiction.
atty: marami naman palang judges pero bakit mabagal ang trial ng case..maybe in Antique, it is different now, but before ang court hearings are only in summer at may judge from Iloilo who would hear the case..at sa umaga lang..kaya ang mga abogado to “entertain” the judge, they would play mahjong or poker..in the afternoon…this is in the case of the Court of First Instance, then.
BB: I know there are Drilons in Iloilo..kasi maykababata ako na Drilon sa CPU. I know Frank Drilon is from Iloilo, his first wife who had died..Violeta Calvo studied at STC and UP (college of law) contemporary ng sister ko..malamang taga Dingle..kasi sa Iloilo kung saan ang town mo your surname starts with the same letter..
nabasa ko kanina na ang sabi ni Death of Justice secretary hintayin na lang daw and decision ng SC..
Chi: mahilig sa photo ops..at to borrow a very common expression we use..”social climber” kaya lang worldwide..kasi sa Manila being that she is from Assumption society girl siya..
…dito the President nominates and the committee on appointment would confirm..pero I don’t think the supreme court justices owe their souls to the president who hominated..
Rose,
Rubbing shoulders with royalties pa nga ang ungas, di ba? Dito nga sa Japan, madalas mag-hallucinate ang ungas na makikipaghuntahan siya sa Empress namin kapag nagpapaalam sa mga banquets na ina-attend niya during her private visits. Minsan lang napagbigyan as a s matter of fact nang magkaroon ng State visit siya. Abaw, nanghihingi pa ng isa! Hindi pumayag ang Japanese government.
Tawag diyan, hibang! Tama ka, mahilig mag-social climb! Mahirap talaga iyong mga dating labandera (nuno niya) tapos biglang nakatipak sa pangungurakot! Walang bearing sabi nga. Lumalabas pa rin ang natural no matter what! Burara nga e. Pirming nakikitahan ng salawal pag umupo!
Yuko,
Nakakatawa at nakakagago ang comment na ‘yan ni Mr. Wetness. Imagine, kung susundin ang logic niya ay iyong mga inabuso/inapi ni Gloria/militar/pulis na ni-release na ay hindi na dapat magdemanda kasi ay pinalaya naman sila!
What happened to the danyos perwesyo, physically and morally?! Ni hindi nga sigurado sina Ellen nuon kung makakalabas pa sila sa PEN ng buhay. At nang dalhin naman sila sa police headqtrs for processing ay hindi sila sigurado kung ano ang mangyayari sa kanila. Tapos, kalimutan na lang! Bah, ang sagot ng EK sa lahat ng perwesyo ay “forget” na lang!
Gloria’s fake administration hates accountability and responsibility! Mga inutil!
Anna, It already did. (see http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idCAL2150027220080121)
Look at the figs:
London’s FTSE 100 -5.48%
Frankfurt’s DAX -7.16%
Madrid’s Bolsa -7.54%
Paris’ CAC 40 -6.83%
Wow! Those losses are their biggest ever since 9/11.
Americas data says Sao Paolo’s Bovespa -6.6% and Buenos Aires’ MerVal -6.3% Mexico City’s IPC -5.4%
Toronto’s S&P TSX -4.8%
But Asia, whose economies were the biggest performers last year wasn’t spared:
Tokyo’s Nikkei -3.9% (-12.8% so far for 2008)
Mumbai’s Sensex -7.4% (went as low as -11% in daytrade)
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng -5.5%
Shanghai Composite -5.1%
Australia’s ASX -2.9 (11 straight days in the red, their worst since 1982)
Singapore’s ST -6%
Seoul’s Kospi -3%
Kuala Lumpur’s KLCI -2.2%
Bangkok’s SET -3.6%
Jakarta Composite -4.8%
PSE’s Phisix -0.5%
From the way it looks, developed countries were the worst hit especialy when Bush’ economic package fell short of many expectations. Analysts say it’s only worth 1% of US GDP and would only accelerate the US’ falling into recession. The good news, at least to OFWs and exporters, is that the Peso fell P41.20 to the greenback from several weeks in the P40 region.
Tapos lalayas na naman at magwawaldas ng kwarta yung reyna sa Davos! Malaki siguro ang idedeposito sa Zurich kaya sumipa ang dollar kahapon.
—————————————
Chi,
Also, Banks eeeew! This is the signal that the months-long bullrun is over. The US may indeed be tipping into recession and where US goes, so does the world.
We should be watching the movements closely and be quick to spot when an uptick happens. As of the moment we don’t know when it will bottom out.
My tip for the week: watch AMAT the stock is very predictable.
Tongue,
I’ll watch it.
Like Gloria, no one believes Bush anymore. I was watching the stocks fell to their lows when Bush was unfolding his economic package. Layas sila dapat sabay!
Sino naman kaya ang haharap kay Pandak sa Davos?
The EU finance ministers are in Brussels cracking their heads on US recession fears.
The Americans are too busy watching the sky as it falls.
The Asians have rolled up their sleeves and are sleeping in their offices.
Baka yung mga Africans at Arabo siguro, no?
Bagay ba bagay sila. Puro manyak ang a-attend sa Davos. Magsawa siya.
TT:
Kung sabagay maraming pedophile sa Europe. Baka makalusot si Dorobo na 12 years old pa siya noong panahon ni Mahoma! 😛
Does she rate a 10 dollar offspring?

From Rose: May constitution ba sa atin? O sa papel lang?
Diyos nga wala eh, constitution pa. Ganyan kalungkot na makita ang katotohanan.
Tongue,
Honestly, am happy hubby decided to convert our tiny porfolio last year (remember we were talking about it in a previous blog thread sometime before the Christmas holidays I think????) — it was the fear of a barrel of petrol hitting the 100 $ mark but this Black Monday is the result of FEARS of recession in the US — there goes Bush politics again, down the drain.
Unfortunately, what you say there is very true, Tongue: “The US may indeed be tipping into recession and where US goes, so does the world.”
Holy shit, even KL is hit: Kuala Lumpur’s KLCI -2.2% Gotta sell my shares there (have got a few somewhere but don’t want to land with a 0 so better sell… damn, damn, damn!)
Europe Sees Biggest Stock Plunge Since 9/11
Posted 4 hours, 7 minutes
Amid continuing concerns about a US recession, European stocks took their biggest single-day plunge since 9/11 today, reports MarketWatch. Losses from financial institutions appeared to be the biggest culprit in the day’s 5.4% drop, which added to a crippling trend: The Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index has dropped 23% since mid-2007. On American shores, Dow futures dropped, sparking fears of a nosedive tomorrow. • “Market sentiment is really sour,” said a strategist. “There’s been more bad news from the financial sector on top of continued recession fears.”
Anna,
Wag ka nang makipagsapalaran sa money market. Kunin mo na lahat. Kaibigan ko mismo sa US kinakabahan kasi mukhang malulugi siya. Humihina na nga ang US sa stocks. Gumagawa na sila ng scenario. Sabi nyo nga kung saan pupunta ang US doon din pupunta ang mundo. May warning na nga pala dito sa amin. Kung hindi man outbreak ng deserved chastisement at least 2008 will be considered an orange alert.
Rose,
Yung nabanggit ko kanina, di lang applicable sa Pilipinas iyan. Its all over the world.
Goldberg,
Nag e-mail na ako sa hubby this instant (out of the country kasi siya) to sell our shares in KL – konti lang naman pero kahit na, ayaw kong maging 0…
Pero long before the Xmas holidays, talagang converted na namin ang lil porfolio dito sa Europe even if the reason then was fear of rise in oil prices which might affect stock market — buti na lang… I was just watching BBC India report, ang daming mga investors na bumagsak!!!!
Re: “The EU finance ministers are in Brussels cracking their heads on US recession fears.” — Heheheheh!
The American people are today in manifest panic. It isn’t Iraq or terrorism that is driving them into panic but the economy; the collapse of the stock market, the rising bankruptcy in the financial and banking system, the mass foreclosure of homes and mass closure of jobs.

RE: From Rose: May constitution ba sa atin? O sa papel lang?
WALA…… since 2001 pa kaya the ONLY existing law eh yong rule of law ni Mr. Gonzales para to protect the enchanted kingdom and her cohorts.
Now a days, eh marami na ang natauhan sapagka’t napaglalangan tayo ni Tabako junta, akalain mo na napagamit si cardinal Sin (sumalangit nawa ang kanyang kaluluwa) at maraming church leaders.
So ano ngayon? Gabundok na problema ang ating kinakaharap at imagine paki isplika yong 800+ victims ng extrajudicial killings. Di ito nangyari sa panahon ni apo Macoy at Pangalong Erap.
Sige nga, nasaan na yong mga magagaling nating civil society na nagsisuporta kay GMA pati na yang mga taga-Simbahan?
Ako lang ata + 11Millions na bumoto kay Erap ang nanatiling tapat sa Konstitusyon, kasama ka ba roon eh baka nakisuporta ka rin sa EDSA II. Pag di ka naging part ng EDSA DOS eh you’re not guilty sa pinaggagawa ni GMA.
I challenge those Pinoyz who helped and supported GMA noong 2001, dapat silang lahat ang magmartsa sa enchanted kingdom at bitbitin lahat yong mga pasaway at sakit sa ulo doon.
Ka Rose,
Itaga mo sa bato, yang Korte Suprema eh rubber stamp ng enchanted kingdom, di ba sila ang naglegitimized sa pagkapangulo ni GMA kahit na di officially na nagresigned si Pang. Erap.
Dapat ang itawag sa Korte Suprema eh kangaroo court ni Justice Davide at Puno, isama na natin yang matandang pasaway na si Gonzales. Puro KSP, walang pinag-katandaan at nagsisipag-isip bata na….yan ang delikado, di ba ang bata ang maipilit eh gusto nilang mangyari….magtatrum pa iyan, but suhulan mo ng kendi magsisitahimik yan.
Sa totoo lang walang tulak-kabigin sa mga kandidato sa USA. Disappointed ang maraming kaibigan ko sa church namin kay Romney. Hindi daw siya kasing tatag ng tatay niya. Pero kung kay McCain na bolero, mas mabuti naman siguro siya. Honest. Ayoko rin si Hillary o si Edwards. OK sana si Obama kaya aabuso lalo iyong mga itim pag nanalo iyan.
Whatever, tuloy pa rin ang mga guerra-guerra sa Iraq, etc. hangga’t hindi umuuwi iyong mga sundalong kano. Suyang-suya ako doon sa mga unggoy na out of duty naman, pupunta sa mall sa Tate kasama ang mga barkada na naka uniform ng sundalo sa Iraq.
Lumalayo ako kasi mahirap na baka may masiraan ng bait at biglang magwala gawa ng baka may shell shock ang mga ungas.
Ka Balweg,
Di ako kasama doon pero sumama ako sa EDSA III. Yung EDSA II kuno, mariin naming kinondena dito iyan sa simbahan. Sabi nga ng pari namin, “Those who supported in ousting the Legitimate President will suffer the consequences of their acts on their death beds.” Hindi Constitutional iyon at direct assualt pa sa 1st and 4th Commandment since its overthrowing the power of a Legitimate Government ang usapin. Its like uncrowning Christ the King. Sabi ko nga kanina, di lang ito applicable sa Pilipinas, sa buong mundo pa. Tama lang na sapitin ng Pilipinas at ng buong mundo ang chastisement.
Re Brownberry”s It’s final…neither Ces nor Ellen!
TV news video shows reporter aiding Faeldon.
Bakit, lumabas na ba ang video? Wala naman tayong nakikitang video, a.
Mabuti naman at cleared na si Ellen and so with Ces. The Dorobos had dangled the issue of a “woman” journalist who helped Faeldon for days! I just hope that they will not just pick up a neophyte lady reporter like they just did to the five enlisted men earlier. Naghahanap lang talaga ng pagdidiskitahan ang mga ito!
FYI Here’s another case of injustice under this regime of the criminal and her minions.

Asking for a Writ of Amparo is too much. I watched movies and the media take care of their own skins. Any side of the war has caveat emptor, they could shoot any face they dont like. To either side it is only a piece of paper or just a Writ of Ampaw. If it so happen they didnt appreciate Baery’s barbaric handling and they expect more of it, well, they better bring their own pipi bags. There were more heroic mediamen circa martial law regime. Now we have some crybabies. Thats democracy.
Tawag diyan, PSB, frame up. Baka gusto pa ngang magdelihensiya. This reminds me of what happened to a Japanese who refused to accede to an extortion attempt by the DEA officers in the Philippines, who planted 2.5 kilos of marijuana in his bag, and he was sentenced to death in a kangaroo court that did not provide him even with an interpreter.
Through the help of AI, etc. group, his sentence was commuted to life and finally a pardon even when he in fact wanted a retrial to clear his name as he would not like to come back to Japan with a tarnished reputation. His wish was not granted, but apparently, like Erap, he opted for the pardon to be free, and be with his Filipino wife and child, who was made in prison, something that can never happen in Japan, for over here conjugal rights are not granted those serving terms in prison, for they believe over here that it would defeat the purpose of the reformation of criminals in correctional institutions. Taragis sa Muntinlupa, may buhay mayaman pa like the kind of life Jalosjos was/is leading inside. Basta may panglagay. Yuck!
Sinong nagsabing moot and academic na ang petition ng mga media people? Manloloko pa ha?
Mas marami nga mas mabuti dahil iba’t ibang klase namang media ang nandoon sa Manila Pen. Mabuting malaman ng mga tao sa buong mundo lalo na doon sa madalas puntahan ni Dorobo na simula nang umupo siya wala nang press freedom dahil natakot siya sa sarili niyang multo.
“The more, the merrier,” ‘ika nga.

—-There you go again, nagaastang-Gabriela ka na naman. Disenteng blog ito hindi kalya. Wala ka sa kalye…doon ka kung gusto mo. That statement was not from me but quoted from the PNP. Now they have cleared Ces and Ellen’s names. They are now insinuating a certain Sharmain of NHK (foreign correspondent). Wala pa nga iyon video at hindi pa nailalabas dahil baka nga wala. Pero bakit sa akin mo tinatanong. Tinatago ko ba? Okay, balik ka na sa kalye, Gabriela…that’s where you belong!
Matindi ang debate ng Democrat Candidates kahapon sa South Carolina. Medyo nagkapikunan ng kaunti sina Hilary at Obama. Si Edwards parang saling pusa na lang because the debate was centered on Clinton and Obama. The Clintons have been kind and supportive of the minority. Malawak ang karanasan ni Hilary at isa pang abogada. But then, kung ako ang tatanungin niyo, allergic na ako sa mga babaeng pinuno. Tama ang sabi ni grizzy about Obama…baka lalong yumabang ang mga egoy sa Tate. Kung ngayon nga ang yayabang porke nagkaroon lang ng equal rights. Kung noon sa likod sila ng bus nakaupo, ngayon ay hindi lang nasa unahan, nandurukot at nanghohold-up pa. Kung noon may CR na “Only For White”, ngayon kahit anong public CR pinapasok nila at nagre-rape ng mga babae. Kung noon ang sisipag nila at nagbibilad sa araw sa bukid (kaya siguro umitim), ngayon ay mga tamad. Puro drop out, homeless, drug addicts and drug pushers. Hindi sa tinitira ko ang mga itim pero puro katotohanan iyan. Ang itim kasi walang moderate…kung masama talagang masama at kung mabait naman ay mga educated professionals o Black Christians. Extreme baga…walang moderates. Si Edwards okay lang…but he lacks financial resources to run a campaign against the Republicans. Kung ngayon nga sa Democrat contest, pilay siya. That’s part of the game…kailangan may pera ka.
Congratulations to you, Ms Ellen & the rest in media for taking a courage act ! Go get ’em !
Ka BB,
Nagpitik-bulag lang yan sina Gen. Razon at kanyang mga alipores, kita mo walang video na inilabas kundi tsismis lang. This is a psywar game, kaya ang mainis eh talo!
Kung makasilat nga naman sila, syiempre ang unang pumiyok eh yon ang pupuntiryahin nila….so, WALA silang napiga kaya heto semplang uli yong gimmick nila, kasi nga lumang tugtugin na yan.
Tingnan mo, magpapalamig lang yan ng kaunti at bigla uling kakambio! Strategy ng enchanted kingdom yan para lituhin ang Masang Pilipino at ng abutin si GMA ng 2010.
Ka Chabeli,
I second the motion!
Ka BB,
Pasawsaw naman sa kwento mo about Tate campaign trails!
Do you know who will be the next President of USA? Not Obama…why kasi magtatayo pa siya ng Black house, kita mo bakit tinawag itong White House? Smile naman he he he he!
Ka Balweg, baka hindi makalusot si Obama because he might be suspected of having ties with Al Qaeda and Taliban. Baka akala nila si Obama Bin Laden siya.
Tungkol naman sa video, kahit na may ilalabas sila, it’s still questionable and doubtful. Genuine ba iyon? Baka spliced o peke na naman. As I said, sa tagal na nasa kamay nila ang video, who can stop them from altering or inventing one that would pin down those they want to prosecute? Anyway, the bottom line is they have already cleared Ellen. Fishing expedition ang ginawa…akala kakagat ang mga tao.
Ka Cabeli: Pahabol nga pala, dapat we need to close this tsismis for nomination, baka di pa tapos iyong ginawa nilang pitik-bulag eh biglang mabuhay uli yang issue at magturo pa ng kung sinu-sino.
Sorry Chabeli tingnan mo napasama tuloy sa pag pitik nila yong letter “h” ng name mo, yaks! Pwede pa rin pala kasi silent “h” ang pagbigkas kasi di ba yang reyna ng enchanted kingdom eh walang “h” ang nota.
Ka BB,
Nang ba blackmail lang yang si Gen. Razon and co., kasi maraming pakawala yang enchanted kingdom sa hanay ng mga taga-print & mass media.
Ayon sa latest news eh di pa tapos ang issue na ito at tingnan mo bigla uling hihirit ang mga iyan pero biglang kambio kasi ang sabi pag daw nahuli si Kapitan Faeldon.
Ginagawang katatawanan ang mga sarili, di naman pwedeng pangshowbiz di ba.
Nagkakagulo sa stock exchange. Buti na lang konti na lang ang pera ko sa stock ko sa Tate. Tinanggal ko na matagal na. I foresaw this situation since Bush declared war on Iraq. Even my stock in Japan, tinanggal ko na matagal na. Iyong pera ko sa Tate, nilagay ko na lang sa Time Deposit (CD) at money market kahit maliit ngayon ang interest. Better than nothing sabi nga.
Kaya pag sinabi ni Dorobo y Bobo de la Yuca na improved economy at strong ang peso, pihadong nasisiraan na ng bait ang ungas lalo na’t nakadepende ang Philippine economy sa pagbubugaw ng OFW at utang dito, utang doon ni Dorobo.
I wonder kung anong kabulastugan ang sasabihin niya sa Davos.
90 people daw ang kasama ni Punggok sa Davos
Lakwacha na naman ang mga pu-_èàèàçèàèàçèina!
Hindi pa nga tapos, Balweg. Alam mo ba na sabi nila hindi muna sasabihin kung sino iyong reporter until Faeldon is captured? Mga ulol ! Anong connection ng reporter kuno na tumulong at si Faeldon? Kung talagang meroon, sabihin na nila ngayon at arestuhin. What if they cannot capture Faeldon or it takes 10 years to find him? Nakatakas na iyong reporter o umalis na. Akala nga ng mga ulol eh puro tanga tayo.
Kahit na sabihin ng mga bobo na may tumulong kay Faeldon, and they were seen on the hotel surveillance tape, I won’t believe it. Malay nila kung ini-interview lang ng reporter si Faeldon. At saka iyong sinasabi nilang narinig ang salitaan nila, doon na lang alam mo nang nangloloko ang mga bobo. Ang ingay-ingay nga sa totoo lang.
I should know because I had difficuly translating some of the clips we received from Manila. Kailangan kong itaas ang volume ng earphone ko to clearly hear the interviews being conducted by the journalists with those involved in the standoff.
Akala siguro ng mga ulol lahat mga inutil na katulad nila lalo na noong bobong unconfirmed Secretary of Injustice. O di pahiya siya. Walang coup! Etat niya meron!
Puede ba, sila pa nga ang nagsasabi sa mga journalists not to interview Trillanes, et al or they face the consequence of their action. Buti na lang may mga matatapang to insist on their right to broadcast the events and to interview the “rebels”(kuno) to inform the public. Kundi lalong mangloloko ang mga madaraya!
Economic turn-around daw sabi ni Punggok. Wow, ang galing! Ang galing manloko! Grrrrrrrr!
Eto na naman ang isang nakakagulat, nakakatawa at nakakainsultong tsimis mula sa DOJ at PNP. Mag-syota daw sina Faeldon at iyong lady reporter:
Romantic angle
The escape of Faeldon took a romantic twist yesterday after a source said the reporter who aided his flight was rumored to be a girlfriend.
“The suspect is a very active reporter,” the source told The STAR.
The source also said that aside from attending press conferences involving international issues, the reporter is also active in pursuing political stories that could probably explain why she and the fugitive officer got close.
The woman, according to the police, was caught on video helping Faeldon escape when troops stormed the Peninsula hotel in Makati last year.
Razon clarified that the reporter was not Malaya columnist Ellen Tordesillas or ABS-CBN TV anchor Ces Drilon, who were among those questioned after the assault.
A number of female journalists who felt alluded to earlier denied abetting the fugitive soldier, including Tordesillas, Drilon and Charmaine Deogracias of NHK.
Why secret? Why did the meeting have to be kept secret? Baka inabutan na naman ng white envelopes ang mga Bishops:
Bishops, Cabinet hold secret meeting
Malacañang officials and Catholic bishops secretly met last Monday to thresh out various issues raised against the Arroyo administration by the Church, including agrarian reform.
The meeting began at mid-morning and lasted until mid-afternoon, said Secretary to the Cabinet Ricardo Saludo, who was among the government officials present during the gathering.
At least 15 Cabinet officials and more than 10 members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) attended the lengthy meeting held somewhere in Manila.
Ka BB,
RE: Why secret?
Alam mo masakit tanggapin ang isang katotohanan, bakit kamo….eh kasi nga, itong mga taga-Simbahan eh double standard. Gusto mo bang malaman ang tunay nilang kulay, ito yon “sa PULA, sa PUTI” ang stand ng mga iyan.
Ang sakit pakinggan, walang isang stand kaya watak-watak ang pananaw sa buhay pati ang para sa Panginoon eh nasasangkalan.
Tingnan mo, di ba kotra-pabor ang mga Obispo natin….di silang magkakasundo kung sino dapat ang susuportahan, si GMA ba o ang Masang Pilipino.
Kaya si Father Balweg eh nagrebelde kasi nga wala siyang makitang hustisya maging sa Simbahan. Kinakasangkapan lang ng mga Obispo ang Simbahan at hayon sila pa ang konsintidor sa kawalang-hiyaan ng marami nating Katolikong trapo at balimbing na pulitiko, di kasama si Tabako dahil Protestante yan.
Ang mga corrupt at balimbing eh makikita mo nag-aabot yan sa loob ng Simbahan sa pagmimisa ng Kaparian natin na walang isang paninindigan sa Katotohanan.
RE: Eto na naman ang isang nakakagulat, nakakatawa at nakakainsultong tsimis mula sa DOJ at PNP. Mag-syota daw sina Faeldon at iyong lady reporter:
Ka BB: Dapat pala eh mainterview natin yan mga taga-DOJ at PNP kung saan silang estasyon, “Ka PUSO ba o Ka PAMILYA”?
Di ako mapalagay, kasi mukhang updated yan sa Boy & Kris….dahil poison na ang mga pag-iisip sa showbiz tsismis.
Akalain mo ba naman na mablind item pa si Kapitan! Bayaan mo itatanong ko kay Lolit S.
Balweg, talagang parang showbiz ang mga ulol. Si Gunggongsalez ay si Boy Abunda at si Razon naman si Ogy Diaz.
With their allegation that the lady reporter is the girl friend of Faeldon, she could sue them for slander. Moral damages at kung ano pa. I think they’re just making a trap for her to come out with this tsismis. Para kung magalit ay lalabas. Look at what this Gunggongsalez said: He calls for the reporter to come out and defend herself. If she’s not guilty, she should come out. Gago talaga itong si matanda. Anong klaseng abogago iyan? Bakit lalabas ang reporter at ipagtanggol ang sarili kung hindi naman siya?
Now is the right time to test the SC, being the author of the Writ of Amparo.
Question: Are they for the people (media), who should be protected from the whims and caprices of the state, as personified by mindless officers (Puno, Gonzales, Barias, et al.), or for this govt, which is shrouded by thick clouds of illlegitimacy?
“Look at what this Gunggongsalez said: He calls for the reporter to come out and defend herself. If she’s not guilty, she should come out. Gago talaga itong si matanda.”
BB,
Sa salita pa lang ni Gunggonzales eh wala talaga silang matibay na ebidensiya na may tumulong ngang reporter sa pagtakas ni Faeldon, kung nakatakas nga. Baka na-eliminate na si Faeldon ng mga berdugo ng AFP. Sana naman ay hindi at talagang nakalusot nga. Hindi naman ibig sabihin na kung may iniiabot ay katulong na sa pagtakas. Ang isang maikling scene sa video ay hindi sufficient evidence. Kaya hangggang ngayon ay di nila mailabas ang sinasabi nilang nakunan ng video. Baka mapahiya sila!
Goldberg/BB/balweg: malungkot ngang isipin na wala ng constitution na delete din ang 10 commandments na delete din yong sabi ni Jesus na “love God above all; and love one another..” ang kay gory ata the word god means “Greed of Dorobo”..sa column ni Fr. San Luis sa Manila Bulletin, today
the “Bible is useless if unapplied.” something to think about to those who do bible study or read the bible..
…ang sabi sa news kanina ang sabi ni Razon may plano daw si Sen. Trillanes na tumakas..to the journalists who cover the trials ingat at baka may gagawin silang drama…itong si avelino naghahanap talaga ng razon..kawawang nilalang..
Mga ulyanin na kasi sina Gunggongsalez at si Razon. Sarap siguro itali sa poste at ipagdudura sa publiko pag nawala na itong amo nila si gloria. Sorry people, but, they made me a heartless bastard as well with their stupid, illogical, and immoral reasoning.
grizzy: si gory wants to rub shoulders with royalties by robbing the Phil. treasury..
AdB: 90 people accompanied her? 12 are kamara members daw..yong iba mga yaya niya o mga muchacha niya? mga nagabitbit ng bag niya..taga linis ng sapatos niya? grabe! Sana someone could get the manifest kung sino sino ang sakay ng plane..
…yong secret meeting with the bishops..magkano kaya ang laman ng envelope…goria awards na naman…the envelope please? kawawang simbahang catolico…
Ewan ko ba Rose, Luz at iba kong kasama dito, I think I’m beginning to feel depressed with the whole thing. Araw-araw na lang puro katarantaduhan na lang ang ginagawa nila. We ought to be very concerned with Faeldon’s safety. Baka wala tayong kamalay-malay na-salvage na nila. Lilitaw na lang ang bangkay balang araw at maglalabas na naman ng kuwento. Ganoon na lang ba tayo? Time seems to be so far and long to remove this Devil Woman!
“…which is shrouded by thick clouds of illlegitimacy?”
Hawaiianguy, puro talaga illegitimate itong gobyerno ni Gloria, aside from the fact na may mga nakaupong unconfirmed ang positions tulad ni DO(In)J na siRaulo Gunggonzales eh maraming daw hindi Civil Service qualified tulad ng mga retired (Garci)generals, according to CSC chairwoman Karina David. At sobra-sobra sa required na bilang ang mga paswelduhing mga undersecretaries. Samantalang nagtatanggalan ng mga pangkaraniwang empleyado.
Read this link:
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=106449
Umatras si Gunggong at Razon ng bweltahan at bulagain sila nina Ellen at Ces. They’re on a fishing expedition because they have nothing, no evidence… not even the video cam footage they’re trumpeting.
Mukhang ginamit lang nila ang mga pangalan nina Ellen at mga kasamang nag-cover sa standoff para sila pag-usapan at sumikat. Mas sikat nga naman sa kanila ang media ngayon e!
Wala na raw destab plot against Gooria, “low bat” na, sabi ni Asspweron. E talaga namang wala e!
Hindi na tumitigil sa kadu-drawing itong si Asspweron, Gunggong Gonzalez, Razon, Puno at Mongloid Gonzales.
Umatend lang si Gloria Pidal ng world economic forum sa Davos ay bumagsak na ang world financial market!
That evil woman is a plague!
Bakit hindi natin baligtarin ang balita …… si Faeldon na kinuha ng mga Police at nakitang pinoposasan sa harap pa mismo ni Gen. Burias(sa iloko beybing baboy).
If the Mossaic Law, the 10 commandments is greatly abused with ease by the pseudo god’s people or better forgotten, how much more with our puny constitution. Our laws even are only designed to fulfill dreams that may work against the many. Take a look at the writ of amparo, its a wreath of ampao to the oppressed media. For the other half, kuarta.
Anos, (another subject), long before the church’s pabingo at the town fiestas, the early teachings were the kulog-kulog and sa pula’t sa puti. Even the famous Brazilian samba mardigras depicts the blacks and the whites. Its not a surprise the church is expert at pitting opposing sides with two pronged tongues sometimes.
Ginugulo lang ni Gunggunggonzales ang mga Media people dahil alam niyang mali ang advisory na ginawa niya. Sa tulong ng mga bayaring General na gaya nila Rason at Buryas. Para silang mga bata. Hindi sila kagalang-galang, walang modo, parang silang askal.
Tama nga ang sabi nong sa CSC chief na “More than 60 percent of Arroyo’s career executive appointees were not even eligible”. Yang mga Deptamento daw na hawak ng mga Ex-Military men ang mga number one. Di ba sampal sa kanila yan. Yong mga amoy lupa na gaya ni Gonzales at Apostol ay nandiyan pa imbes na nagpapahinga na. Sana naman dahil sa malapit na silang kunin ni kamatayan sana naman ayus ayusin na nila ang natitirang oras pa nila dito sa lupa.
Kahit ako man si Melanie Masecampo ay idedemanda ko silang lahat. Buti na lang at hindi pumutok ang pantog niya.
Meron pa ang ilan sa mga journalists, tapos ay sasabihin ni Mr. Wetness na kalimutan na lang lahat dahil ni-release naman sila. Hindi porke nasa enchanted kingdom sila ay palagi silang magpapasko! Buti nga ay tadtarin ng demanda ang mga bugbugero at sanggano na ‘yan!
Kaya pala hindi makapasa-pasa sa CA yang sila Gonzalez, Ebdane, Reyes, Teodoro at Puno. Dehins pala sila eligible. ARAY!!!! Pare-parehas na sila ng kanilang Reyna. Na kung hindi pa nandaya ay wala siya diyan sa puwesto niya ngayon na gusto pang kunin ulit sa ikatlo pang pagkakataon. Ano ba yan …. Onli in da Pilipins.
“Look at what this Gunggongsalez said: He calls for the reporter to come out and defend herself. If she’s not guilty, she should come out. Gago talaga itong si matanda.”
Now, I think you guys understand better my outburst in the previous thread.
Rose: the “Bible is useless if unapplied.” something to think about to those who do bible study or read the bible..
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Rose. Tignan mo naman iyong claim ni Fatso when he was in the hospital at narinig niya sigurong matatalo siya doon sa mga libel suits niya against journalists especially the respected and credible ones like Ellen, et al. Kunyari ginamit pa iyong Bible daw na binabasa niya.
Ang tanong ko, “Bakit naiintindihan ba niya ang binabasa niya?” without him responding to the Spirit of God for instance for him to repent of his sins? Nakakalusot lang naman sila ngayon because they have been able to conveniently place people in those departments that are supposed to send them to jail.
Kaya doon na lang puedeng umasa ang mga pilipinong makaganti kay Fatso, et al sa parusang ibibigay sa kanila ng Panginoon who says that vengeance is His. Puede namang mangyaring parusahan ang mga ulupong na ito kahit ngayon sa totoo lang kaya lang mukhang kulang sa faith ang mga pilipino kahit na sa mga sarili nilang kakayahan.
Golly, hihingi pa daw ng tulong doon pa sa mga kano na nakakatikim ngayon ng galit ng Langit sa totoo lang! Tapos iyong mga relihiyoso, imbes na magdasal na lang sa Poong Maykapal, mukhang doon nagdarasal sa Malacanang at huminihingi ng tulong sa diosang kawatan! Inangkupo!
Rose,
Three times, the apostle James states unequivocably, ‘Faith without works is dead!’ It is in James 2, and one of my favorite verses are ” Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.(James 2:24, 26)
Chi: Meron pa ang ilan sa mga journalists, tapos ay sasabihin ni Mr. Wetness na kalimutan na lang lahat dahil ni-release naman sila.
******
What can we expect from these people, Chi, especially this abogago named Apostol? Hindi naman nakakaintindi ng tinatawag na delikadesa ang mga ungas. Hindi niya naiintindihan na ang ipinaglalaban ng mga journalists ay ang kanilang mga karapatan, puri, dangal, integrity at reputation. Wala sila niyan!
Point is papaano nakaka-function ang mga hindi confirmed na cabinet member ni Madame Dorobo y Kawatan? Golly, sa amin iyan, hindi sila puedeng suelduhan. Hindi magre-release ng pera ang accountant ng bayan na hindi political appointee as a matter of fact. Over here kasi, hindi puedeng tapakan ng mga political appointees iyong mga career bureaucrats, and sila, hindi din nila puedeng umpakan ang mga taxpayers na nagbabayad ng serbisyo nila. Bakit hindi iyan ginagawa sa Pilipinas?
TT, your outburst was understandable. Medyo kamuntik din ako nadala sa mga tsismis ng mga iyan. This time, I can see your in-burst.
One of ABS-CBN’s program hosts Anthony Taverna in the program “Umagang Kay Ganda” tried to get the answer from Gen. Razon about the lady reporter in vain. Kahit anong paikot na ginawa nitong Anthony para ma-corner si Razon, ayaw talagang sabihin kung sino. Ongoing daw ang investigation kay Faeldon. Buwelta ni Anthony at tinanong niya si Razon ano naman daw ang connection ni Faeldon sa lady reporter kung iniimbestiga siya? By the way, single pa si Faeldon…so what’s wrong if the lady reporter is his girl friend? Pati na naman na personal na bagay, ibabalita at gagawin pang issue!
Yup, kung totoo man ang sinasabi ng mga sinungaling na may girlfriend si Faeldon sa media, e bakit ako lilitaw and admit that I am his girlfriend na alam ko namang mapapadaan ako sa police brutality gaya noong ginawa nila doon sa mga UP students na babae na ayaw pa nilang ilitaw?
This reminds me of a Filipina caught in Japan before. Takot na takot na ipadala sa Pilipinas at i-turn over sa mga pulis doon. Nagmamakaawa sa akin na pakiusapan ko daw ang mga pulis ng Japan na huwag dahil marami na siyang naririnig na nare-rape ang maraming babae doon sa mismong kulungan ng mga pulis sa Piliinas.
Kaya siguro noong maliit pa ako ang madalas na biro sa mga alagad ng batas ay may kinalaman sa kanilang ari. Gaya ng birong “Pulis, pulis, t—–ng matulis….” Yuck!
Very true…female inmates are being raped by male guards and even lesbian guards. Kapag mabuntis ay pinapa-abort o kaya ay pinamimigay na lang ang mga bata. Pretty inmates who become the girl friends of jail guards and prison officials receive VIP treatment. Imbes na makalaya ng maaga ay tumatagal sa kulungan. Gagawan ng kaso para madagdagan ang mga taon sa loob so that these women can serve these maniacs.
BB: One of ABS-CBN’s program hosts Anthony Taverna in the program “Umagang Kay Ganda” tried to get the answer from Gen. Razon about the lady reporter in vain.

E papaanong sasagot e wala naman talaga silang maipapalabas. Kahit nga siguro kapareho noong fake Garci tape wala rin silang na-produce kasi buking na sila agad.
BTW, hindi nakapasok sa Mendiola ang grupo ni Ka Satur, et al sa Mendiola even with Mayor Lim there. I don’t think Lim is in with the Dorobo. Helpless lang siya ngayon kasi hindi na katulad noon ang pulis ng Manila. Iyong Malacanang hawak na ng military apparently. Hindi na hawak ng Manila’s Finest di tulad noong panahon ni Lacson na walang magawa ang Malacanang kapag magwala si Lacson.
Come to think of it, noong maliit ako may mga insurgencies din. Takot nga kaming pumunta sa probinsiya ng mother ko kasi nga dahil sa mga Huk at tulisan. Problema din iyong mga Moslem kahit na noon, but never have we heard of Malacanang being barricaded with electric barbed wire or the perimeter along San Miguel, etc. lalo na sa Mendiola guarded by soldiers with containers from the Manila Pier!
Iyan na lang dapat nahiya na si Madame Dorobo y Kawatan kasi patunay na iyan na hindi siya gusto ng mga pilipino! Seven years nang sarado ang Malacanang hanggang Mendiola, etc. at puedeng makapasok lang ay iyong mga supporters niya at iyong mga may dala ng supot ng pera galing sa juetend, etc. Yuck!
Grizzy, baka may mailabas din sila…masking tape.
Mayor Lim did allow Satur’s group to move a little forward close to Mendiola. Pero hanggang doon lang..kasi ba naman hinarangan ng mga malalaking containers…Never in the history of Malacanang has it been protected this way. Sa panahon nga lang ni GMA na may kuryente sa lahat na pader and fences. They turn on the power whenever there are rallies like yesterday.
Yung kasing (un)intelligence reports ng AFP at PNP ay galing sa tsismis, kaya usually ay nag-iimbento lang sila o mga fabricated evidences ang ginagawa at mga fall guys. Tapos na ang lousy & unbelievable script nila kaso di pa sila siguro makahanap ng mga ‘actors’ este ‘witness’ kuno para mai-direct nila at pwede nang sumigaw ng …scene 1, act 1,…”ACTION!”
Ate Ellen,
Saludo ako sa mga media at journalists na kagaya mo na patuloy na lumalaban sa mapanupil na administrasyong Arroyo. Alam namin ang hirap na inyong dinaranas. Kayo ang magsisilbing lente para ma-expose ang kanilang mga kawalanghiyaan at sandata ng mga aping mamamayan! Kaya naman ang laki ng takot ng mga berdugong AFP at PNP sa mga taga media. Kung walang mga taga-media ay di natin malalaman na may mga government forces na nagnakaw ng mga ari-arian sa Manila Pen during ‘clearing’ operations nila. TULOY ANG LABAN!!!!

Ano sira na tulad niya?!
Kahit ako man sa reporter na ‘yan, kung totoo man, ay hindi ako lalabas. Mamuti ang mga mata nila sa kahahanap!
Hindi pwede ang reverse psychology ni siRaulo sa mga journalists dahil sharp and mga ‘yan at alam nila na nanggagago lang ang mga residente ng EK!

Sinimulan ni Gunggong ang away sa media, ayan sumaklolo na ang mga kapatid at lalong lumaki ang resulta ng kanyang kabalbalan! Buti nga sa kanila sa EK, worlwide na ang balita ng kapalpakan ng Enchanted Kingdom ni Gloria Pidal.
Kahit nga noong panahon ng Martial Law, puedeng pumunta ng Malacanang. I remember going there with a tour group I escorted from Japan as I did parttime job as a tour escort for a big travel agency in Japan.
Boom na boom noon ang tourism and included sa tour of Manila iyong visit sa Malacanang. Main feature nga iyong mini-museum ni Imelda. Ngayon, nagmalaki pa iyong buddy ni Fatso na kasama ni Pacquiao when they came for a boxing match ng isang galing sa dating stable ni Pacquiao na mahal ang ginastos sa paglalagay ng koryente sa bakod ng Malacanang para hindi makapasok iyong mga toothless and bathless daw!
Bakit ba takot na takot si Gloria Dorobo, et al sa mga kababayan nila?
Re: “Gunggongsalez said: He calls for the reporter to come out and defend herself. If she’s not guilty, she should come out.”
Sana may mga tao na mag-impersonate na kunyari siya yung reporter na tumulong kay Faeldon. Katulad nung gingawa ng mga rallyista na may maskara o parang maskot. Tapos kakalampagin nila siRaulo Gunggonzales para inisin! Hehehe!
Off topic, but the Brokeback Mountain actor Heath Ledger was found dead. I did not like that movie on homosexuals by Ang Lee, but I know this Aussie actor is as good as his other fellow Aussies, including Mel Gibson. Sayang!
That’s good then brown. Peace.
Chi, that’s one goal about this class suit lalo na kung walang aasahan sa mga political appointees ni Gloria Dorobo in the courts of the Philippines to serve her, her husband’s, and minions’welfare and interest.
Iyong ingay na lang ng mga foreign press ang puedeng makayanig sa mga animal. Kailangang ipahiya si Kapalmuks. Kailangan ang malakas na sampal sa totoo lang.
Hindi lang sampal siguro. Kailangan igudgud ang mukha sa semento!
doon sa column ni Fr. San Luis..isang quote of George Washington caught my attention: ang sabi “it is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible”. Sana mabasa ni goria..ay wala pala siya at namamasyal ..
walang time to read the Bible much more to live it..sayang ang doctorate degree niya..sayang ang utak niya…may utak ba?
Wow! Humihirit pa si tabako! He is endorsing the extension of the aspweron! Matindi!
Naglalaro talaga itong si Villar. Sumisipsip kay DOROBO and now kay Erap! Traditional politiko talaga!
PSB, Esperon is FVR boy.
I agree with FVR. Gloria should extend Esperon. Para lalo siyang ma-destabilize.
Etnad,
Kasama siguro mga yon sa 60% na di basa biblia.
Pihado ko may nanilip pa nang umiihi si Melai. Kakakulo ng dugo. Makapagpalamig na nga ng ulo.
So, kita nýo na eh si Tabako junta talaga ang nasa likod ng mga kababalaghan na nangyayari sa Pinas.
Di ba halos lahat ng mga retired Generals na tuta ni FVR eh nakapwesto sa enchanted kingdom. Ang last kong narinig eh si Calderon na pumalit ka Dapat, korek ba!
Si Esperoni eh tuta na at kababayan pa. Okey, extend na nila si Esperoni para magka-alam alam na.

Maliwanag na nasa tungki ng ilong ng sambayanan kung anong uri ng pagkatrapo itong si Villar.
Hindi ba’t maliwanag na noong November 2000 na hindi muna nagkunsulta sa mga constituents nito(sa mababang kapulungan)ang pagiging Speaker bago nito trinabaho ang impeachment ni Erap?
magpapalit na muna ako ng screen name
Nelbar, I understand how you feel about Villar. Pero kung hindi patatawarin ni Erap ang lahat na nagtaksil sa kanya, baka siya na lang ang mag-isa. Talagang ganyan sa politics. At sa tutoong buhay, maawain at mapagpatawad si Erap. Hindi lang ako papayag na patawarin niya si Chavit Singson. Here are some of the names who helped in his ouster: Guinggona, Cory, Pimentel, Legarda, Villar, Civil Society, media, religious groups like JIL, militant groups, Angie Reyes, etc. Marami sa mga nabanggit ang kampi kay Erap ngayon. I personally think a Villar-Erap team is a very good one. Mas okay naman kesa kay Legarda, Roxas at kung sino pa. Of course ang first choice ko si Ping Lacson. But I don’t think Ping is in the best relationship with Erap at present.
Ma-pride din kasi itong si Ping.
