I was touched by this part of Jun Lozada’s testimony:
By Gil C. Cabacungan Jr., Dona Pazzibugan
Philippine Daily Inquirer
The stark contrast between poor villagers concerned with how hungry birds would find food to eat and greedy politicians and officials drove star witness Rodolfo Lozada Jr. to unbosom himself Friday.
Testifying at a Senate inquiry into the controversial, now-scrapped National Broadband Network (NBN) project, Lozada said he had a difficult time reconciling his work as president of Philippine Forest Corp. (PFC), which takes him to impoverished areas, with his job as a government consultant, which takes him to swanky hotels for meetings involving high-stake deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
During a visit to one upland community, Lozada said he saw a tree rich with guavas and asked one of the natives why he did not harvest them all and sell them for profit.
“How he answered really struck me,” Lozada told the senators. “‘Sir, we leave them there. Those are for the birds’.”
“I was so touched because when I looked at him, he was not rich. His slippers were old, his T-shirt was filled with holes, and yet he talks about caring for the birds.”
Lozada gave the narration while being questioned by Sen. Jamby Madrigal, a scion of one of the richest families in the Philippines.
“I was really touched. I was also embarrassed for myself,” Lozada said.
Lozada noted the contrast between the simplicity of the lives of the rural folk and his work in Manila–“where I deal with billion-peso projects, give (out) like P3.5 billion (in commissions), and they don’t even like it.”
Lozada was apparently alluding to the $130-million commission which he claimed former Commission on Elections Chair Benjamin Abalos Sr. wanted for brokering the NBN deal, when $65 million could have been “just right.”
“This is what makes it hard to reconcile my life because of these extreme situations,” he said. “That’s why I always ask if they could just reduce their take.”
Time to cry
He said such money could have gone to schools and to building roads in those upland areas.
“But it goes to few families and I don’t feel it is right,” added Lozada, who said he later backed off from further involvement in the deal.
Lozada looked fragile when he entered the session hall surrounded by a mob of cameramen and photographers. He embraced the sisters who filled the gallery behind the witness chair–and then he could not help but cry.
His hands shook as he drank from a goblet with warm water. He kissed the small rosary on his wrist.
He was nervous but he was prepared and sure of his story.
Self-respect
Unlike the other witnesses, Lozada did not read from a prepared statement. He spoke as though from the heart as he recounted his ordeal since his name surfaced in the NBN hearings five months ago.
He sounded self-deprecating and even had to ask permission from the senators if he could decline to answer some of their probing questions.
Lozada was apologetic, too. He admitted that he had his own sins, but that he wanted to save whatever respect he still had in himself so he could save his soul.
Lozada was a loyal friend to former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri, and kept his testimony strictly to his dealings on the NBN. He declined to be dragged into answering intimate questions regarding Neri.
Sharp wit
He was just out for the truth, not to demolish friends, he said.
Lozada answered questions straight, from the NBN’s financial viability to its technical specifications. He also showed his intimate knowledge of how a deal was done and how cuts were made.
Several times, he raised laughter in the gallery with his wit.
It was his sense of humor that helped him through the marathon Senate hearing, despite his palpable fear of the government.
After breaking down at the start of the hearing, he recovered to narrate his story about the NBN project, hardly referring to his scribbled notes. By then he was relaxed.
Lozada admitted he had some questionable dealings as president of a state-owned firm.
But he said it was nowhere in the league of the commission Abalos wanted for the NBN deal.
Sen. Francis Escudero likened the NBN project to the US National Basketball Association (NBA), and Lozada’s PFC projects to a “barangay liga.”
“Siguro po intramurals lang sa school,” Lozada interjected, drawing another round of laughter.
Thoughts of Bubby Dacer
When Senate President Manuel Villar asked how he was, Lozada said he had found a way to drastically lose weight in just a few days.
“Yung pantalon na dinala sa akin, muntik nang mahubo (The pants given to me almost fell off). I’ve lost two inches,” he said.
Recalling his abduction by armed men upon his arrival from Hong Kong, Lozada said his fear heightened when he heard the men said that he would be brought to Dasmariñas, Cavite.
“Naalala ko si (I remembered) Dacer,” he said, referring to the top public relations agent Salvador “Bubby” Dacer who, along with his driver, was summarily executed in Cavite.
At that remark, some people in the audience turned toward Sen. Panfilo Lacson, whose close associate, former police Col. Michael Ray Aquino, was implicated in the twin deaths.
Aquino escaped prosecution by fleeing to the United States where he is serving a jail term for espionage.

The ZTE Senate hearing would resume on Monday. Malacanang is working overtime this weekend. They would be holding meeting after meeting to map up strategies and damage control. Sa Lunes, asahan natin na nandoon na naman ang dalawang aso ng Malacanang: Miriam and Enrile. Sasali na sa pagtahol sina Joker Arroyo at Dick Gordon. But we don’t care…majority of the senators are still sympathetic to Lozada. Batid nila na nagsasabi ng katotohanan si Lozada. Ang masama niyan ay baka mag-iba ng tono ng kaunti si Lozada. Huwag naman…huwag niyang sayangin ang pag-asa at pagtitiwala ng taong bayan. Jun, ituloy mo ang laban!
Jun Lozada has done his part. Will other brave souls follow him? It is now up to us, the AVERAGE, COMMON Pinoy to help ourselves by making Malacanang feel our outrage and disgust. We, too need to save our souls and our children’s future. I am one who got caught is the system, and became numb because I was doing well anyway. But now I will join any street action – I need to stop the systemic greed. Is there anyone else out there?
Bronberry:
Inumpisahan na ni Jun ang laban at nagpakita ng katapangan kaya nasa masa na kung anong side ang kanilang papanigan.Sana maging matapang tayong sumalungat sa gusto ng marami, matapang na manindigan sa prinsipyo. Tapang, hindi kompromiso.
Noong high school pa ako’y naging basketball player.Nang matatalo ang team namin, agad akong pinaglaro ng coach namin on the last second.Inagaw ko na ang bola sa kinaiinisan kong ka team-mate na mayabang, nag-dribble habang tumatakbo ako papunta sa ring, at ibinato ko na para ma-shoot.Nang makawala ang bola sa dulo ng daliri ko,nalaman ko kung bakit hindi man lang ako hinarang ng mga kalaban: hindi pala sa amin ang basket na pinag-syutan ko! Umikot sa ring ang bola at nahulog.Sinita ako ng coach bakit ko raw ipinatalo ang laro ang sabi ko puro kasi buwaya ang mga ka team mate ko at lagi na lang akong nakabangko.Kaya sana isa man na senador sa binangit mo ay aagawin ang bola at isyut sa kalaban para magkaroon ng lesson ang kanilang coach.
Langya ka, cocoy. Biyahe ka pala lumaro. Sayang yang 6’1″ mong tindig. Akala ko hero ka dahil na-shoot mo. Kunsabagay depende yan kung saan ka nakapanig. Si Lozada, villain sa Malacañang pero hero ng lahat!
Tongue;
Kinuha naman akong star player ng kabilang team.Hehehe!
Ellen,
I wish I were also there to hear Lozada’s testimony in person. I cannot help feeling envious of you and Veronica Uy, also a friend. for I do love to listen to good talks. Thanks, however, for sharing. I make sure to archives your article likewise in my egroups for all to read and appreciate how God in His infinite wisdom has allowed some people like Lozada and Joey de Venecia and even perhaps Neri, et al to be used to expose the criminals who cannot be caught because they have become powerful.
The above narrative reminded me of the Mexicans I met and became the main reason why I was convinced to buy some lands there before. I found them friendly and during an early morning walk I found a lot of fishes on the shore that were not able to get back to the sea with the tide. I saw some Mexicans picking them up and when I asked one to give me some to take back and make sashimi because they were fresh, he told me I could have them for free. Being Japanese in mentality, and brought up to think that “Nothing free is cheap,” I refused, but he insisted, and to convince me that there was nothing malicious or something, he offered to sell me his fruits and vegetables saying, “I won’t sell you the fish because I did not produce them, but I will get your money for these fruits and vegetables if you buy them because I produced them. These fishes came from God and they lie on the shore to be shared by everyone who wants to eat them.”
I was touched by that, and decided that I would be safe in that place, and maybe, I would have luck owning a place there. Baka maka-hit ng oil well! 😉
Ellen,
Nagulat ako sa mga tanong ni Loren Legarda. Akala ko nga si Miriam yung nagtatanong. Either hindi siya nakikinig kaya paulit-ulit yung tanong niya, o pilit niyang sinisilo si Lozada sa mga incriminating questions niya.
Yung chief-of-staff niya na nagfeed ng mga tanong niya, hindi yata maitago na nabili na siya ng Malacañang. Napakainsensitive na pati yung huling baraha ni Lozada gusto na niyang mabulgar agad para makapaghanda ang Malacañang ng maaga. Gaga talaga.
Mas nakakabilib ang staff ni Jinggoy na matitinik sa covert at research (galing siguro kay Serge Osmeña yung mga ito). Me litrato pa siya ni Lozada kasama yung mga dumampot. Wala nun ang media.
As usual, yung mga witness, kay Lacson unang lumalapit dahil alam ang kakayahan nung mama.
Magaling rin ang diskarte ni Roxas na i-establish ang mga oras ng pangyayari baka kasi, itanggi pa ng mga nakausap ni Lozada na kesyo nasa abroad, nasa kasal, etc.
Puwede na ang pinapel ni Kiko. Napatapang niya si Lozada ng konti.
Hindi ako naimpress kay Noynoy. Nagulat din ako dahil walang sustansya yung mga tanong ngayon ni Jamby. Naging mabait ang mga bikolano kahapon – sila Escudero, Gringo at Jamby – sa kababayan nila at hindi gaanong pinagtagal ang mga tanong. Si Pia, nagtatanong ng obvious naman ang sagot.
Sayang din at wala si Pimentel.
Yung mga kampon na sina Lapid, Zubiri, Revilla, Gordon, Angara nagtago dahil lost cause ang laban nila, isa pa, wala pa sigurong downpayment.
Yung nasa likod ni Lozada, pader. Sila Bro. Armin, Atty. Edwin Lacierda at Atty. Neri Colmenares pwedeng mag-double bilang close-in sa laki nila.
Blockbuster talaga yung kahapon. Talo lahat ng palabas. Parang 40 rounds na Pacquiao vs. Marimar ang palabas.
I thank God that there are still people like Lozada, and wish that Neri would have the same guts to face to his responsibility to his country and people. God must have answered the prayers of many to end this evil regime, especially by families of those who have become missing or found 6 feet underground, all victims of this kind of operations by people who should have been enforcing the law, and keeping the country and people safe and sound, not the kind of organization that a sister of Lozada said they would never trust, and why they sought refuge and sanctuary in some convent.
Hopefully, indeed this is going to be the beginning of the end of this evil reign of the idiot wanting to be a queen with a vulture by her side, Mike Bigtime Dorobo! Lots of prayers to Lozada! May his tribe increase!
Kaya nga sabi ko, bakit iyong witness ang ikukulong, hindi iyong mga dorobo. No more leave of absence. Ikulong na lang since anyway, she is not a legitimate president, who should in fact be disqualified, never to grant an immunity.
Tongue,
Salamat din sa observation mo. Nasa blog mo ba lahat ang observation mo? If so, pakopya. Gotta keep these records in my file. Someday, masarap isulat kung magkaroon ng oras.
Natuwa ako sa mga madre at pari na tumulong kay Lozada.
Wala akong inaasahan sa CBCP. Kahit nagkakagulo ay naghihintay pa ng lagay buhat kay Gloria!
As usual, nakatunganga pa rin sa EK si cardinal Gaudy Rosales Poblador, kahit nagugulo na ang kanyang followers dahil sa muntik nang ginawang fetilizer ni Gloria si Lozada!
I cried a lot when I heard Mr. Lozada’s speech at La Salle Greenhills and his testimony at the Senate. I was really touched specially when he talked about his experience with the upland natives. They care more about our environment while those in the government care more what they will profit. Sana magising na tayo!!!!!
There should be a law that would penalize government officials who are lying specially during televised interviews. Ang kapal nilang lahat!!!!!
Good thing Lozada found the uplander wide awake otherwise he was waiting for the guava fruits to fall. I do think we need a pound of chinese blood to think of money and progress beyond of what is for the birds.
Mabuti naman at mukhang mga tunay na alagad ng Diyos ang tinakbuhang pari at madre ni Lozada. At mabuti na lang din at walang nag ala-Soc Villegas na magbibigay kuno ng ‘refuge’ pero yun pala ay ipagkakanulo ang whistle blower. Dasal pa tayo mga kababayan. Hindi natutulog ang Diyos.
The guava lesson is not new to the country. Barrio folks like me have always thought that countryside developments are always the least priority of Imperial Manila. Come to Kalinga-Apayao or visit the coastal areas of Cagayan Valley and ou will cry. You will see a lot of folks wearing shirts with holes, torn pants, “tsinelas with imperdible”, malnourished, undernourished. Did any of the local, provincial or national government leaders really cared for them? I saw several soldiers who really cared for them. I mean those professional soldiers. Years ago, the Army had their Army Literacy Patrol System. Soldiers go to the deepest of the mountains and teach because there were no regular teachers assigned to these places. They were the silent heroes. The natives or katutbos cannot bring produce to the lowlands for lack of transporation. Where were the promised farm-to-market roads? There is only one answer to this and the truth is the money was pocketed by greedy government officials. They pocketed not only the 10 or 20 percent commission but also the entire budget for the project. what a shame, all because Imperial Manila did not care at all. The guava is really for the birds.
It seems that what Mr Lozada has testified is bound to happen and revealed. Mukhang nagkamali yata ang gobyerno na palabasin ng bansa si Lozada para umiwas sa Senate hearing, instead of binigyan na lang nila ng ‘script’ tulad ng kay Neri. Dahil sa nerbiyos ng Malakanyang ‘pinadukot’ nila si Lozada na naging dahila na magpanic sa mga kamag-anak niya at tutukan ng media. Kaya ngayon gulong-gulo na ang script writer ng Malakanyang.
luzvi,
Tatawatawa lang si si Ermita habang sinasabon si Puno at Atienza. Abot-batok ang ngiti ni Edong.
Pidalismo national bribery networking (NBN) is an orginazed criminal syndicate who wanted to rob the Filipino people, masahol pa sila sa bank robbers?
Dapat patawan ng pinakamabigat na parasa ang mga iyan, umpisahan sa kanilang leader at isa-isahing posasan ng magsipagtanda ng matauhan.
Ang kapal ng apog, ang daming naghihirap na Pinoy sila naman eh nagpapasasa sa pera ng Bayan. Kung anu-anong taxes ang pinaggagawa nila para makalikom ng pondo ang gobyerno, sila naman ibinubulsa lang. Gahaman talaga!
Akala mo sa kanila ang Pilipinas at ginagawa pang tanga ang mga Pinoy, sa pakiwari ko eh ang daming boba sa ating bayan dahil nga kung di nila ibinoto ang mga tongresman natin wala pidalismo sa ating bansa.
Next time NOT more next time eh lagyan ng big X mark ang lahat ng miembro ng pidalismo block para di na maka-upo sa anumang pwesto sa gobyerno, masahol pa sa mga bank robbers at carjackers.
Dapat ang itawag sa mga iyan eh pocketjacker!
Pocketjacker means a person who robbed the Filipino peoples money by any fast track corrupt practices.
A legal tender of pidalismo form of gov’t is to bribe and mangurap, buti pa ang komunismo they practice equality, ang socialismo naman more on economic way, ang demokrasya naman eh freedom, royalty to become a one-man rule, dictatorship magstay forever sa power etc. etc.
Pidalismo a Pinoy form of gov’t created and established by Kampi party led by their supremo Jose Pidal.
Ms. Luzvi,
Humanda sila sa resbak ni JDV? Nalalapit na ang maliligayang araw ng pidalismo regime. Cru(lo)sada against pidalismo corrupt practices and their wrong doings (isang katerba at di na mabilang).
Ang bagong tele-nobela ng mga Pinoyzki na mahilig sa drama sa buhay. Hoy mga kagalanggalang na Bishops (CBCP) ano pa ang inyong inaantay, wake up at rescue the Filipino people sa mapang-aping pidalismo sa ating lipunan.
Gusto nýo bang magbangon si Cardinal Sin upang pamunuan ang pagsipa sa rihimeng ito. Ano ang pinaggagawa nýo diyan, kailangan kayo ng bayan?
Tulungan nýo naman ang mga madre at kaparian na nag-iingat kay Hon. Lozada, alam nýo naman na gagawin ang lahat ng gobyerno para patahimikin ang pobre.
Kailan pa ba kayo magsisikilos, pag puti na ang uwak!
Iba na ang ibig sabihin ng mga ito:
AFP – Arm Forces of the Pidals
PNP – Pidal’s National Police
Pero ang mga suweldo ay galing sa mga tao. Ano kaya’t itigil na lang natin ang pagbabayad ng tax. Hindi rin lang naman natin nararamdaman ng mga serbisyo na dapat ibigay ng Gobyerno. Di nga ba’t sabi ng Pangulo ng Makati Business Club, Napupunta lang sa ilang mandurugas ang pera at ang Proyekto ay hindi naman mapapakinabangan ng mga mahihirap.
in some respects – nakakaawa si Lozada – he is a midget in the battle of giants.
however – i believe that
we are where we are now because of our own doing.
we are where we are now because of the sum of decisions made by us brought us to this place.
Lozada is no different. he is where he is now because of the sum of his past decisions brought him there. time to be a man and not to cry too much. while it is normal to cry – it is quite embarrassing to see a grown man cry. it look more like he’s trying to get sympathy – even redemption for what he has done.
what he doesnt see is that he doesnt have to do it at all. he is allowing himself to be a midget pawn in a battle of giants.
take a look at neri – he brought the senate to the supreme court and got a restraining order. now that’s smart.
happy gilmore,
now it’s very clear to me that you are trying to water down the issue of corruption and betrayal of this administration… no need to be an apologist of the current administration… it’s a hopeless cause…
trying to pretend to be “neutral” at a time like this only shows how lost administration’s cause is…
i hope that you won’t get the receiving end of the kind of treatment this administration had been doing to the people who went against their evil ways…
Lozada made a very good account of himself in the Senate and it’s a real thriller. Spontaneous, confident and no hesitations in his responses to every question thrown at him make him very credible. He is pure gold and I salute him.
On the other hand Gloria’s attack dogs in the Senate, Enrile and Brenda showed one more time their being rabid and loyal defenders of Gloria. Brenda’s dossiers against Lozada came handy and you have to wonder how this came about. Unfortunately for them the failed to nail him.
Well we don’t have to love or hate these two Gloria lovers but pity them for playing the role of deaf and blind; see no evil, hear no evil attitude. Maybe both are in their second childhood state and they loved to play “bahay-bahayan” and Gloria as their favorite loving “daughter” that whatever she wants, she gets and they have to protect and defend her whatever it takes kahit na magmukhang mga tanga and make sure that no harm will descend upon her.
It’s now clear that the Mafia gang underestimate the resolve of Lozada. Their modus operandi that had been successfully implemented on all the others failed miserably. They finally met their match. The question now is will it shakes the foundation of this illegitimate government? Will the people see another unfolding of events in Philippine history?
happy gilmore,
You sound like the bishops on their pastoral letter blaming everybody but gloria about the state of the country. I can’t blame them because they are being paid to say it but in your case I don’t know if you are being treated the same way.
John, many cried listening to Lozada’s testimony. The TV camera showed many in the Senate hall wiping their tears including the lawyer sitting behind Lozada. Most of the senators were very quiet and their faces showed their emotion.
Enrile, who used to be the spoiler with his combative questions was surprisingly calmer even if he was questioning Lozada’s morality. Ang salbahe lang si Miriam. Naghanda ng mga dokumento para hiyain si Lozada. Who ordered her to do it..everyone knows. Buti na lang wala si Joker…isa pa iyan. Wala si Nene Pimentel sa hearing…sana naman nandoon siya sa Lunes.
Tungkol naman kay Loren, ever since this woman could not be trusted too. Malakas ang uggong na balita na kapag malapit na ang 2010 ay tatalon iyan sa administration. Ngayon pa lang eh ang sabi “Either Presidency or nothing”.
O may bagong pakulo na naman iyong mga bobo sa PNP, text messages daw na bomb threat. May naniniwala pa ba sa mga ungas na iyan? Puede ba iyong mga matitinong pulis, batokan na lang ang mga iniupo ni Gloria Dorobo sa department nila na namumuno sa kanila para hindi na silang lahat magmukhang gago. Golly, ginagawa na silang mukhang mga gago at bobo, sumusunod pa rin sila doon sa dapat dinarakip na nila for crimes committed against the people of the Philippines!
Sabi nga ni Lozada na naawa pa nga sa kanila, kawawa daw iyongg Razon na sa kasusunod kay dorobo nagmukhang mokong tuloy. Mabait pa rin si Lozada. Naawa pa siya sa isang di naman dapat na kaawaan. Isipin na lang na next time makuha nila siya, tepok na siguro siya!
OK din iyong mga kapatid ni Lozada. Ipinakita nila ang isang magandang tradisyon ng mga pilipino—iyong close-knit family nila. Kaya sila tinutulungan ng Panginoon ngayon, at nagbibigay lakas ng loob kay Lozada para tumapang. Iyan ang may yagbols. Humaharap sa katotohanan. Puede ba, kung wala din lang masabing matino sina Brenda Santiago at Uncle Johnny, tumahimik na lang sila. Nakakasira lang sila ng view! Malapit na silang mamamatay hindi pa sila tumahimik para naman may magandang alaala silang maiwan. Golly, ang sarap nilang
duraan ng plema!
“Birds of the same feather flock together”, or so, I thought. Perhaps, in the case of Neri and Lozada, it should be “f–k each other.” Although Lozada has staunchily defended his ‘good friend’ to a point which makes him almost a naive person, I think that his statement that he did not wish upon another man to undergo what he has been going through was actually a message to Neri to end his cowardice. Neri started the whole thing, he should at least be at the side of his friend that has decided to end it for him. Does Neri value friendship, or does he think the freebies he gave Lozada (meals) were enough to return the the favors they exchanged? Nag pa interbyo ka na rin lang Neri, sabihin mo sa lahat kung bakit nawal ang yagbols mo! At least show us that you deserve the friendship of one like Jun Lozada whose life and family you have placed in jeopardy while you are well nestled, rested, fed and protected by the Palace inhabitants.
I can understand the feeling of Lozada for Neri that he still considers his friend. Magaling siyang sumagot. Hindi nga naman issue na kaibigan niya si Neri. I would say the same kung kaibigan ko si Neri at tama siya. Kung may mali siya, iyon lang ang aaminin niya. At kung may alam siya na makakasira sa reputation niya, dapat sabihin niya that he tried to do in the best way he could. Malinaw naman ang stand niya sa totoo lang, at malinaw naman na kaya hindi siya lumabas noon ay dahil iyong ang sinabi sa kaniya ng superiors niya. Ngayon nakita niyang sa pagdating ng kagipitan siya lang ang mapapahamak naisip na rin niyang harapin ang katotohanan na walang magtatanggol sa kaniya kundi ang katotohana at siya mismo. Bakit mahirap bang intindihan iyan? Nagpapapakatao lang naman siya.
Oo nga bakit nga ba wala si Senator Pimentel?
kgg florry
i wish i was paid – but unfortunately am not.
maybe its just that i am not as easily swayed by emotional speeches, or crying men surrounded by sympathetic clergy.
maybe i am not as hot headed as everyone else
maybe i do not allow myself to be an instrument of those who are in power and those that are seeking it.
just look at the names that are squabbling over this issue :
Cayetano, Lacson, Arroyo, Ramos, De Venecia, Estrada, Honasan, Madrigal, Legarda-Leviste, Enrile, Biazon – arent you sick of it all? these same bunch of honchos hustling and elbowing each other for money and power? and tayo ang ginagamit na pambala sa mga kanyon nila – mapa oposisyon man o administrasyon?
mag negosyo na lang tayo kgg flory. saang industriya ka?
Ako, Tongue, I have never been impressed with Loren Legarda. I must admit, prejudice kasi ako sa mga graduates ng Assumption. No bilib ako sa tigas ng dila nila! At saka paarte lang iyan sa tingin ko!
Problema ng Senate ngayon ay kung papaano uutusan iyong mga gago sa pulis at korte na hulihin si Fatso with all the incriminating evidences presented so far. Pinabayaan kasi nilang mag-appoint na mag-appoint ng tsimoy at tsimay ni Gloria Dorobo doon. Kaya ang labas pa ng mga ungas mga kidnappers, blackmailers, intimidator, etc. mga kriminal na ala-Mafia. Sana magawa iyong ginawa sa Tate ngayon na pinaghuhuhuli iyong mga Mafia na binantayan ng mga pulis for over 30 years. Sa Pilipinas siguro dobleng taon bago maayos ang ginawang pambababoy ni Gloria Dorobo sa sistema ng Pilipinas. Baboy na baboy talaga!
kgg grizzy – exactly my point
malinis mag trabaho si gma and tabako. all bases covered. they did their homework.
the opposition should do the same – do their homework.
prove the arroyos guilty, prove ramos guilty – at hwag na silang umasa pa sa people power. sawa na ang taong maging pambala sa kanyon ng mga away nila sa pulitika.
At least, si Lozada may konsensiya pa. Sabi nga, nakonsensiya siya na siya masarapa ang buhay compared doon sa mga tagabundok na marunong pang maawa sa ibon. E sina Gloria Dorobo? Ano? Walang awa kahit sa kapareho nilang tao lamang. Matitino di hamak ang mga magulang niyan di tulad noong mga dorobo na kundi dugong aso dati nang mga kulimbat—landgrabbers, and all. Di ba sabi nga iyong mga Pidal yumaman lang sa jueteng? O kailan naman naging mga marangal ang mga iyan?
Anong malinis magtrabaho ang sinasabi mo, Gilmore alyas nino? No bilib ako sa tactic nila kasi bistado naman. Di nga lang mahuli dahil magaling maglagay.
Ang sabihin mo magaling manloko, pero malinis magtrabaho diyan ka nagkakamali.
Anyway, nakita ko ang pangalan ko kaya kita sinagot dito sa last na post mo. Otherwise, hindi ko pansin ang sinasabi mo. Magbigay ka ng opinion, OK lang. Freedom of speech ang ipinapairal ni Ellen dito, pero iyong mang-iinsulto ka ng mga bloggers dito na akala mo ikaw lang ang magaling e, puede ba? Nahahalata tuloy kung saan mo nakukuha ang publicity info na pinopost mo na halatang para may mahikayat pang maniwala kay Gloria Dorobo sa blog na ito.
You can bet your bottom dollar, WALA as far as those who really love the Philippines are concerned regardless of whether or not they are in the Philippines. Dapat sa mga ungas na iyan dakipin na at parusahan—no pardon, please!
Buti pa yung mga katutubo, kahit hindi nakapag-aral may pang-unawa. Ibinigay na lang sa mga ibon yung bayabas na pwedeng pagkakitaan.
Samantala, yung mga may pinag-aralan, mga naka barong o amerikana, masahol pa sa mga hindi nakapag-aral kung maglaway pag nakikita o nakaamoy ng pera mula sa isang proyekto. Palibhasa nakapag-aral, nagawang paikutin sa batas ng bansa. Magaling mambola, talo pa iyong mga barbero sa kanto. May pinag-aralan pero mga hayok at gahaman. May breeding pero walang hiya. Yung marami sa kanila may Ph.D pero gago pala. Marami din kung humarap sa tao pag panahon ng eleksyon akala mo mabait, yun pala may maitim na balak. Kung magsalita sa TV o Radyo akala mo may dignidad o marangal, balahura pala.
Buti pa si Jun, di baleng malagay sa alanganin ang buhay huwag lang mawala ang kaluluwa. Si Neri, di baleng matawag na duwag, huwag lang masabit o maihi sa pantalon o palda.
Yung mga pulis nagsalita pa, bistado din naman. Nagtago pero nakita at may nakakita. Diba bawal sa pulisya ang tanga? Kung sabagay, maraming heneral, mga nakabarong o amerikana ang tanga na, ungas pa, gago din at tarantado pa!
Ayan daw ang mga may pinag-aralan!
Panahon na para labanan ang gobyernong ito. Nagsalita na si Jun Lozada, siguro naman marami pang mga pilipino na kagaya nya. Wag na nating hayaan na walang mangyari sa pagbubunyag ni Mr. Jun Lozada. Panagutin na ang mga dapat managot. Kay Mr. JUn Lozada Mabuhay Ka…..At sa mga kasamahan ko dito sa Ellenville Siguro panahon na para kumilos……
Sabi nga sa Bible na naiintindihan ng mga kahit na hindi mga kristyano gaya noong mga katutubong pilipino (familiar ako sa mga Dagat-dagatan ng Quezon. Nakapunta na ako sa village nila noong araw on a school trip) na naniniwala sa Diyos ng Kalikasan,
…Luke 12: 24
Sobra palang nakakabagbag damdamin ang hearing ni Lozada. Sabi ng kaibigan ko, iyong mga kasama daw niya sa office na nanoong ng hearing via Internet, wala daw hindi napaiyak. Halong awa at paghanga daw ang nadama nila para kay Lozada. Kaya diyan na lang, sa palagay ko naman mahirap nang makanakaw pa si Fatso ng sympathy vote mula sa taumbayan. Ngayon pihado marami nang magiging matapang at gagaya kay Lozada na lalong dinuduro, tumatapang.
Mabuhay ka, Mr. Lozada! Nagdagdagan ang nagmamahal sa iyo–mga kababayan mo na handa mong ipaglaban ang mga karapatan. God bless you! Tignan lang natin kung ano pang susunod na ipapaubaya ng Panginoon para mabulgar na ng husto with a bang ang mga dorobo kasama na iyong mga mokong na katulong nila.
Buti na lang retired na ang pinsan ko. Kundi baka isa pa siyang mauutusan sa mga kalokohan ni Gloria dorobo. Pero baka hindi rin kasi kahit pulis siya, by profession abogado siya at hindi siya graduate ng PMA o Ateneo!!!
those that do not learn from the lessons of history is bound to repeat it.
same case ni Sandra Cam, Mawanay, the fat guy na nag witness dati (forgot his name – sikip nga siya sa armchair), Archbishop Cruz – and now Lozada. Saan napunta ang lahat lahat ng alegasyon na dinala sa Senado? napunta sa WALA. may nabago ba? WALA. nasa Malacanan pa din ang mga Arroyo.
kung may talagang nais magpatalsik sa mga Arroyo – heto ang recipe :
get proof that will stand in court
get the support of 2/3 of congress
file your impeachment complaint – which must be sufficient in form and substance.
otherwise –
griping is free
Re: get proof that will stand in court
What court?
happy gilmore;
The Senate investigation and its public hearings had fundamental and interrelated purposes, consistent with the constitutional responsibilities of the Senate: informing the public, examining the operation of the law and of government officials, and developing a record to assist the Senate in considering legislation. These purposes is to create a record of what in yhis ZTE scandals to inform the Brown-skinned people,a knowledgeable electorate like you, them and me is the cornerstone of democracy, and the public has a right to know what went on to the alleged kickbacks of these culprits involves. The people need to be informed of the operations of our government and the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the laws in order to make informed judgments, this purpose of informing the people must be ranked as the primary purpose of the investigation.In this regard, the committee carried on the official inquiry, while the media fulfill their similar, but unofficial role, of informing the people of the facts.
Another purpose of the hearings is the one on which the Senate’s ability to conduct this type of investigation is founded, its constitutional role to legislate. The Senate cannot legislate without knowing what is happening.
Malayo naman yata iyang iniisip mo na kaya nag-iimbistiga ang senado kay Lozada dahil gusto nilang agawin ang trono sa presidenti.Nasa sa masa na iyan kung gusto nilang mag-alsa and the Senate can not dictate the will of the people.Ewan ko iyo kung ano ang natutunan mo sa Political Science lessons mo.
Isn’t it obvious that Appy Gilmore is one of those intruders in this blog who desperately defend the indefensible unano and her ilks?
Diego, as this moment, there’s no such court which will cater the morality of the society. As long as this Unanong Introvert with all her demons exist; our country will always be in pandemonium as she is controlling everyting. Let’s learn this line from Jun Lozada that “Ang Salitang Filipino ay hindi lamang tumutukoy sa iisang Pamilya kundi sa iisang bansa.” BTW, with all the words you said mga taga-Ellennville, I’m proud to say that not all Bikolanos can be bribed and be a pet by this stinking administration juts like Joker Arroyko, this amoy lupang hukluban sa senado ay nakakahiya sa aming mga Uragons same also for Edcel Lagman in the Congress. Nagpapatuta sila ki Unano just for their own sake. May their souls admitted to hell. I’m proud of Jun Lozado, he is truly an Uragon. I wish there are more Uragons like you. May God keep blessing you and your family and may He always give you the strength & courage to face all these trials. Salam!
May presidential immunity daw siya. Hintayin natin mawala sa puesto. Sigurado tambak ang kaso ni Gloria sa Ombudsman at peoples’ trial court.
I agree 100% with happy gilmore that the opposition should do its homework. happy gilmore, kaya nag-iimbestiga sila eh. you sound like the person who was texting Mr. Lozada. Walang mangyayari sa testimony niya. Let us see. Mind you, kung hindi nag ingay ang media, hindi naibalik si Mr. Lozada at hindi nabukong nagsisinungaling ang mga attack dogs ng Malacanang and that includes Mr. Razon.
Bakit ninyo pinapansin ang mga planted ng mga dorobo para ipalabas na ang demonyo ay si Lozada at hindi iyong matabang ganid. Ang linaw linaw naman ng sinabi ni Lozada na hindi naman malalagay sa alanganin kundi dahil sa ayaw nilang maipit na siyang puno’t dulo ng anomalyang ito.
Kundi totoo ang sinabi niya e bakit kailangan pang siguruhin na huwag siyang pipiyak at tinakot pa di lang siya kundi buong pamilya niya. Common sense lang naman. Kundi ba guilty iyong ganid bakit kailangang magkagastos ng malaki para itago si Lozada sa Hong Kong at papupuntahin pa sa London kundi lang nga nagpasiya na ang tao na harapin ang obligasyon niya. Golly namang pang-iinsulto iyan sa dunong ng mga pilipino!
Dapat mag-isip na iyong mga katulad nina Razon na sa kasusunod nila sa isang kriminal, utak kriminal na rin ang kalalabasan nila, at dahil sa dugong aso ang taratitat, sa bandang huli sila pa ang sisihin dahil traydor nga ang ungas. Kaya the best thing na magagawa nila ngayon tumiwalag na sila bago sila tuluyang masira. Best, they should do a Lozada!
Puede namang i-disqualify si Gloria Dorobo sa pamamagitan ng Garci tapes kung ipapairal ang batas. Kaso sinong magpapairal ng batas? Iyong mga appointee ng ungas na inilagay sa mga puwesto exactly for the purpose to prevent that thing to happen. Kaya isa lang ang option ng mga pilipino. Gayahin ang ginawa nila General Lim, et al. Withdraw support at mag-aklas! Hindi naman kailangang dumanak ng katakot-takot na dugo sa totoo lang gaya ng ginawa ng mga Thai laban kay Thaksin.
Now, tignan natin ang magagawa ng majority sa Senado matapos marinig ang katotohanan. Patuloy pa rin ng dasal para lalong tumapang ang mga katulad ni Lozada at Joey deV
Galit na si Teresa Ang-See. Yehey! I-deport daw si Lozada sabi ni Wetness na hindi inisip iyong Fukien ina ni Fatso na sa totoo lang ay salot di lang para sa mga pilipino kundi pati na doon sa mga pilipinong lahing intsik, yours truly included although my Chinese root did not come from Fukien but Canton. Buti na lang kundi baka masabihan pa ako ng “Fukien ina ko.” Iyong Chinese ancestor ko kasi nuno ng mother ko!
Banatan na!
sawa na ang taong maging pambala sa kanyon ng mga away nila sa pulitika.
*****************
Ito talaga ang niluluto niyo happy gilmore, ikaw at lahat ng nagpapanggap na neutral. Ito ang kinatatakutan ng Mrs ng baboy. Dahil mahirap bilhin ang tao. Mas madaling bilhin ang mga congressmen.
file your impeachment complaint – which must be sufficient in form and substance.
**********************
Where? In the House? Their representation of the people is only in form. They actually represent the pagador.
We should pray for Jun Lozada and his family’s safety!
Yang si Apostol, instead of winning sympathy for his BUWAYA benefators, dinagdagan pa with his NONsense comment. Ngayon, lahat ng mga may dugong Intsik galit na sa kanya, including me! Hindi lang simpleng galit kundi NAG-AAPOY pa sa galit!
Malapit na ang DA END sa thriller na ‘to!
Save yourselves na lang mga kampon ni PIDAL!
Ang mga comments ni “happy gilmore” HINDI ko binabasa! Kapoy lang ang PASAWAY na ‘to.!
Funny how majority of columnists in the Philippines writing on these rackets of the Pidal Dorobos now end their articles with a prayer for the salvation of the Philippines.
Ganoon na ba talaga ka-desperate ang situation ng Pilipinas? Wala nang tatakbuhan ang mga matitino since the rule of the game the pandakitak seems to implement is more like “If you cannot lick us as you think you can, then why not just join us, and if I think I can use you, I can share some of my husband’s and my loots with you!”
But let us not despair. Mukhang tumatalab na ang dasal ng marami. May tumatapang na. Growing yagbols more like. Sana dumami na silang katulad ni Lozada and Joey deV na di matitinag no matter what. Tignan natin ngayon ang galing manduro at manloko ng mga bigtime magnanakaw!
One whistleblower, Chavit, was even rewarded. The only reward Lozada gets is our sympathy for leaving behind his nook in hell. He gained our full respect. We honor him. Now he is a marked man. He is qualified to become the next half chinese saint. And theres nothing we can do to protect him. We cannot preempt that. Those he left behind fortunately removed the death penalty. We can stack up our blogs with their sins. We can bring them to court. What court as queried earlier. Some but not all may have the misfortune and get convicted. They can wait it out for parole on good behaviour or share their acquired commissions to diehard lawyers. But who will file those cases? Raul? and who will hear their cases? Supreme Court? Mababait lang kaci mga law-abaiding oppositons.
Many years ago, I was talking to one of the grandsons of THE Ma Mon Luk. At that time, mayroon umuusbong na mga corrupt na Chinoys (Dewey Dee). Nagalit daw ang old guard, dahil inalagaan nila ang kanilang malinis na pangalan. Dati, daw, respectable businessmen lahat – Washington Sycip, etc.
So the old guard met, to address the situation.
Hindi ba puwedeng makialam ang mga Chinoys? Ang Chinese Chamber of Commerce? Puwede bang makuhang testigo si Yu Yong? Hindi ba’t may mga negosyo din ang Chinoys sa Mainland? SM, etc.
May clout ang Chinese businessmen. Time to flex their muscles and help kick out the woman who cuddled the ex-general na walang kinidnap kundi Chinoy.
Valdemar,
Just an additional information… Chavit Singson went to the US after Erap was acquitted… He is still there… (baka takot sa resbak)?
by the way happy gilmore,
kung malinis magtrabaho si GMA, bakit sya minumura nang halos lahat ng mga Pilipino? Malinis ba ang pandaraya sa eleksyon ng 2004 at 2007? Malinis ba ang Fertilizer scandal ni Bolante? ang ZTE broadband deal at yung kakambal nitong Cyber ED broadband deal? Malinis ba ang pagkakabili sa mga Congressmen ( the brown baggers of Malacanang )? Malinis ba ang pagkakagawa sa Glorietta explosion? Malinis ba ang pagpapatalsik kay JDV para maisulong ang CHACHA with the intention to perpetuate her in power as Prime Minister for life? At lately, malinis ba ang pagkakadukot kay Lozada? Di ba kaya lang sila nakakalusot dahil binabraso nila lahat nang sumalungat sa kanila? Ala-Mafia nga ang pagmamaneobra sa lahat ng bagay …
Kung malinis magtrabaho si Gloria eh bakit nabuking sa Hello Garci tapes? Nag-sorry sa taumbayan without crocodile tears. Pati sa pag-sorry buking dahil peke.
“The continued Senate inquiry into the scrapped ZTE broadband deal is aimed at “weakening” the Arroyo presidency, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said Saturday.” – Inquirer
Well, Mr. Ermita, would it be a lot simplier if your boss and the entire crooks in Malacanang simply stop committing crimes so that the Senate won’t have to do any inquiries ? Forget your prostituted congress ( packed with brown baggers ) and Ombudsman ( Merceditas is doing a fine job protecting GMA and her family from lawsuits… ) … nothing will come out of these institutions since GMA thoroughly destroyed its integrity to the core! Indeed we have a criminal organization masquerading as a government!
What does it need to convince the Palace lappies that the ZTE stinks lead all the way to the Palace…Britney becoming Virgin again? muaaahhhh…my back is already breaking shoveling the snow and they still don’t believe that (the lappies) it is cold here?
Kailan ba naging malakas ang rehimeng Arroyo? Ang alam ng taumbayan malakas lang sa kurakutan. ZTE scam simbolo ng malawakang kurakutan. Walang mangyari sa legal at constitutional processes. Patalsikin na!
Yes, Apostol’s comment against Lozada’s ethnicity doesn’t sit well with Teresita Ang-See and the Chinese Community. But if you look at Apostol, he looks more Tsekwa than any Tsinoy.
Folks, wag kayong mainip sapagka’t nalalapit na ang pagtatapos ng kabanata ng rehimeng Arroyo!
Si Erap trinabaho nila GMA con El Tabaco and co. more than a year para sipain, but this regime eh pilantod na dahil nasa kangkungan na si JDV.
About El Tabaco sobrang tensyonado na rin kasi nasobra ata ng hitit ng local tabako di ayos sa pang-amoy kaya natarakan sa likod si JDV ng mismo mga Lakas-CMD boyz.
Pustahan tayo pag-umabot pa yan ng May 2008, eh talagang astig ang dating bayad lahat ang mga sip2 at corrupt tongresman.
Ang galing mong kumilatis Kgg. Brownberry, mayroon atang lahing mongolian barbecue itong si Apostol, paki sipat lang ang hilatsa ng pagmumukha.
Lagyan mo lang ng pekeng bigote eh bagay ang dating ni mr. wetness di ba, kasi wala nang problema sa pagsasalita yan.
Watch out for Miriam Santiago again Monday as the Senate hearing on ZTE resumes. She’s Malacanang most dependable trouble shooter these days.
Miriam, like her husband Jun Santiago, are demons in
the service of their new she-devil, Gloria. Magnanakaw sa Customs si Jun nung panahon ni Cory; nagutom sila nung panahon ni FVR; nagpakaasasa kay Erap, at ngayon ay world-class na rin ang kita, dahil useful si lukaret kay GMA. Kita mo’t maski nga si Enrile, hindi bumanat, hindi na
rin siguro kaya ng konsensya na magpagamit, dahil nakita niyang maka-totoo si Lozada.
What do you expect from GMA’s attack dogs like Apostol, Atienza, Gonzales, Bunyi, Golez, Razon, Puno, Ermita, etc.?
Apostol – masyado ka foul-mouthed na matanda ka. You don’t respect the younger generation. Taga Iraya ka kasi at ngayon lang nakatuntun ng palasyo.
Gonzales – Akala nitong gunggong na ito, siya lang ang nakakaintende ng batas. Napaka wala sa ayos nitong taong ito.
Bunyi – Pikon, sinungaling at puro pag depensa sa mga katiwalian sa palasyo. Hindi mo kaya si Joseph Goebbel, malayo ka.
Golez – Ang pangalan na Golez ay matapang, straight at matalino katulad ni Roilo pero bakit ito iba ang pag iisip – puro kasinungalingan?
Razon – nakakahiya ka sa ranggo mo na 4-star general. You don’t deserve to wear that uniform. Napaka sinungaling mo, Avelino. Look at me eyeball-to-eyeball and say “Aye, aye, Sir.”
Puno – magaling ka mag threaten but look at yourself in the mirror first. You are blaming the La Salle Brothers for keeping Lozada. What’s wrong with that?
Ermita – the father of all this mess. Sobra na itong ginagawa ninyo sa taong bayan. Puro kasinungalingan kayo. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
” our conscience tells us what is morally right or wrong..”this is what we always talk about in our CCD class and naintindihan ito ng 12-13 years old children that are in the class. bakit hindi naintindihan ng mga tauhan serving in GMA’s administraiton.
..this squabble among JdV, FG Arroyo, Neri and Lozada reminded of the old NCAA days..Ateneo vs. de la Salle..ang kaibahan lang ang mga ito ay Ateneans..Ateneo vs. Ateneo..kaya lang Lozada made a good move..nagpunta sa La Salle..Cheer cheer for old de la Salle! Our prayers are for you and your family Mr. Lozada; and we also pray for the 28 officers and their families..
To Mr. Abalos – kung napapansin mo, ikaw ang maiipit dito, kaya kung maari, gayahin mo na si Lozada. Magsalita ka na at baka patawarin ka pa ng taongbayan. Ihulog mo na ang amo mo bago ka pa maunahan nila. Magiingat ka din dahil alam nila na ikaw lang ang makakapagtumba sa kanila. Humingi ka na ng proteksyon at immunity sa Senado. Isipin mo ang familya mo at hindi yun familya sa Malacanang. Sayang, mayor pa naman ang JR mo. Ipinagaral mo pa sa mabuting paaralan. Alm ko hindi mo ito natikman, sayang yun mga pinaghirapan mo.
Kumita na si Abalos sa ZTE scam. May paunang bayad bilang broker. May parte siya sa $46 M dole-out galing ZTE.
while the existing developments on the Lozada expose is indeed interesting – those seeking power are in a quandary now.
their enemy is time.
the ideal time to rouse the people has passed – and hence the expose is fizzling out as it is.
nakakaawa talaga si Lozada – at the end of all this – siya pa ang makakasuhan for his past sins (which he admitted) – while the sins of those behind him – those that are prodding him to go against the admin – are still scott free – are still in their govt posts – are still in their posh houses and super luxury cars….tsk tsk tsk….mr Lozada – you shoudve played it smart like Neri.
Iyan ba ang plano? Ikulong si Lozada at libre ang mga dorobo.
i was listening to Orly and Fernan yday afternoon and they were discussing the alleged kidnapping of Lozada –
according o Lozada he was kidnapped by armed men
he boarded a toyota altis(?) with his two captors up front and he was ALONE in the back seat.
sa history ng kidnapping – no one EVER leaves the victim ALONE in the back seat.
tapos sabi pa ni Lozada na traffic sila – kung saan saan – s SLEX, sa LIBIS. if he indeed was fearful for his life (and at this time celebrity status na cya) – he couldve simply opened the door, ran out and shouted / attracted attention to himself.
then sabi pa ni Lozada they ATE at OUTBACK, sosyal na mga kidnappers ito – pinapakain pa ng mamahalin yung victim….
given the above – its really strange to call it a kidnapping….
what do you guys think?
what do you guys think?
****************
I think you are very industrious. Someday you will be rewarded for your pidality este fidelity pala.
Ha!Ha!Ha! OK ka Atty!
and lastly Jun, I guarantee you also from my own limited experience that there are things worse than a physical death,” Honasan said. (abs-cbn)
**************************
Mukhang nagsisisi na ang dating sundalo.
Once, in the Cory Senate, while Gringo was on the lam, then Senator Maceda invited several newly minted 1LTs to a committee hearing. He asked one of them (I remember, short, tisoy, assigned to Basilan), what would the young officer do if he saw Honasan? Would he arrest Honasan? The young officer said, “Frankly, I don’t know Sir. I consider Colonel Honasan a true cavalier. I have unqualified respect for him.”
Nasaan na kaya ang young man na yon? More importantly, nasaan na kaya ang self-respect ni Gringo? Si Lozada, ayun, may natira pa daw, and he is trying to keep it.
What about Razon? Sabi mismo ni Lozada, he does not think Razon is a bad individual. People keep waiting for the military to withdraw support. But it is on the PNP that Goriang is depending for her physical defense. Paano na kung si Razon ang mag-withdraw, dahil ayaw din na fate worse than physical death?
Atty,
Kung gagawin ito ngayon ni Razon, e palagi naman nad’yan si Asspweron na ‘sisiko’ kay Razon. Baka gawin din s’yang fertilizer pag nagkataon.
let me reiterate
i do not like gma or her ilk.
but an educated leader can surely appreciate her tenacity. she has the 2nd longest term since marcos – and despite the many threats to her presidency – she is still in power, with only two years to go till the next elections.
i do not like the opposition either.
they keep on relying on the “expected” outflow of warm bodies to support their cause. People Power expired years ago. we’d rather see things settled in court than on the streets. why dont they work on congress to get the signatures of the 2/3 members of the house? why dont they work on getting the support of the Military and the PNP instead of simply instigating angst? the opposition does not want to do their homework – not the way tabako and gma did when they kicked erap out.
i do like watching their high stakes chess game.
grizzy,
Was Loren an Assumption graduate in High School or College? I saw her regularly with the Sigma Deltans in their AS tambayan akala ko UP siya. Back then, she was already close to Ces Oreña-Drilon who was a Deltan and to many Upsilonians I thought she was a Deltan, too. Crush ko iyan noon, pati na ni Tony Velasquez ng ABS-CBN, (tsinismis pa) Halatang kursunada din yan dati ni Boying Remulla kaso di siya makaporma dahil sis.
Ang nakakainis, paulit-ulit ang tanong niya, ang tangal ng hinintay niyang oras para ulitin lang ang tanong nung mga nauna. Ni hindi na-update man lang ng staff niya. Walang binatbat.
Tongue,
May litrato sila ni Pandak na naka-Assumption uniform sila taken just after EDSA 2. Ang alam ko din noon ay taga-UP siya kasi iyon ang build up sa kaniya. Pero when she and Pandak admitted that they were alumni of Assumption, hindi ako nagtaka kung bakit pangit din ang diction niya sa ingles. Ang tigas ng dila!
Happy Gilmore,
The Senate cannot influence 2/3 of the Congress who get their pork based on the whims of Gloria. I’m not convinced Congressmen are all corrupt.
Maybe, they earnestly need the funds for the benefit of their constituents, and they are driven by their honest desire to be reelected to continue serving them because no one else cared. Gloria’s exclusive discretion on fund releases has been so prostituted under this regime, nobody cares about principles, virtues, patriotism, statesmanship, and institutions anymore for as long as they achieve what they wanted in the first place.
The only choices Gloria made them select from, all these times, is between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Of course, the devil will almost always get the upper hand.
Look at these attack dogs, nagsisimula na magpahanga sa amo nila. Golez, Gonzales, Atienza, Razon, Ermita, Mendoza, Villafuerte(Cams. Sur) at Atty. Bautista (for the comfort of Malacanang), they all have started their offensive. Hold your fire, Jun Lozada, marami kami at hindi ka namin iiwanan!!! Mga nuns, bishops on the left, mga disgruntled na military on the right, mga poor ang sa harap. Sige, just wait and let’s see.
Tongue, Loren was in Assumption for her highschool studies and UP for college.
“let me reiterate
i do not like gma or her ilk…
i do not like the opposition either.” – happy gilmore

Again, happy gilmore… no need to reiterate… we know exactly where you stand… why not simply be out in the open like the rest of us? this is supposedly a free country… o baka natatakot ka na sunduin ka namin at ipasyal sa Laguna?
atty36252,
yang si Honasan, madaling malaman kung papaano gagalaw… tingnan mo lang kung ano ang posisyon ni Enrile… ganoon rin sya… hindi yan gagalaw independent of Enrile… i think nga na he will be at a lost kung wala si Enrile…
Ioaco,
Please count the warm bodies bago tayo susugod. Tatlo lang naman yata tayo dito.
Happy Gilmore,
In all fora pointing out whats really amiss should not reap cudgels. Unless that forum is more than a cult.
Happy gilmore,
Hindi ka pala binabayaran kaya pala “Happy” ka. Good for you.
You claimed to be on neither side, an independent, a fence-sitter, neutral, alanganin, bakla o kaya tomboy, but your words betray your self proclaimed independence. Anyway I am giving you an A for the effort but its useless trying to hide in an exposed and open field where everybody sees you. Philippines is (still?) a free country, remember?
So you are giving out some tips on how to drive away the Arroyos and Pidals. Wow, that’s very kind of you. And in behalf of all Filipinos, thanks but no thanks. Where have you been hiding during all these years. Sleeping peacefully in the comfort of your home while majority of the people are thinking on where to get their next meal, o baka naman natutulog sa pansitan. Don’t you know that majority of the dishonorables in Tongress are their very expensive robots, well-oiled and very well-maintained so that their movements will always be precision-like in case some problems arise? Don’t you know that the blind-folded lady that represents justice is now prostituted that it only caters on the side of the powerful and select few and the courts of supposed law are now Gloria’s court, mike’s court and kangaroo court? And don’t you know that the military is now their private army and acting as their personal bodyguard under the dictatorial role of the crying and cheating general ASSperon? And speaking of CRYING, maybe you also hate ASSperon for his crying game sometime on Dec 30 2001.
Now tell us, how the heck can your recipe work?
And by the way your offer na magnegosyo na lang, I’m very sorry I can not afford. I sweat for every dollar and cents I earned not like the Mafioso gang in gloria’s circle, tons and tons of money coming in day in and day out, walang puhunan kundi kurakutan lang. Maybe you can afford to start a multi-million dollar business and there you can help gloria propel her economy.
Happy: “i do not like gma or her ilk.
“i do not like the opposition either.”
Sounds like one blogger here who transferred to Manolo’s. Says a few sentences on the first line (above), and makes kilometric posts on the second.
So, where are you, my friend? Neither here nor there?
now this is really interesting…
kgg Florry – since you said that you earn your keep in dollar and cents – you are in a perfect place to study a people that rose from the ashes of their own civil wars and became a global power. what is their secret?
the Americans do not blame others for their mistakes. they look at themselves and improve upon whatever defects they find. unlike filipinos who always puts the blame on everybody else – BUT themselves.
the Americans do not believe in hearsay or conjectures – they look for definitive proof. Witnesses are not enough for them. only the bare facts determined from solid evidence are accepted.
i was watching the discovery (bbc) on the space shuttle columbia disaster.
Leroy Cain was the flight director.
upon learning that the Columbia orbiter disintegrated upon re entry into the atmosphere – his first words were “lock the doors, no one leaves this room”.
Leroy Cain knew full well that what he is in charge now was a crime scene. Leroy Cain did not blame the whole bureaucracy – the ineptness of the engineers, no.
he first looked to himself and his team – that is why he ordered the doors locked – so that no one can contaminate the crime scene.
Can you imagine had Leroy Cain been Filipino? he would put the blame on congress, the senate, the President.
perhaps that is why i am neither here nor there. I do not blame the admin or the opposition for my woes. i look to myself and how i can alleviate my problems. no i am not a millionaire yet – but am working on it just like everybody else.
perhaps when i am in a position to effect change – i will, but not in a way that will blame others – no.
it will be in a way that will empower others to improve their lives.
focusing on the ills of the government and their enemies makes for a good telenovela, that’s all.
HG: Sounds like one blogger here who transferred to Manolo’s.

Kaya ako, HG, I don’t blog there. Pasilip-silip lang. Wala akong tiyagang basahin ang mga pakawala ni Dorobo doon.
Dito nga makulit din pero pass na lang ako ng pass kapag nabisto ko na. Ang arte pa ng dating, Luli style! Magaling mambola.
Madali namang mabisto sa totoo lang. Useless basahin dahil alam mo namang publicity gimmick at saka dissemination lang ng mga fake information to glorify the dorobo (magnanakaw sa Japanese). Mas magde-depend pa ako sa intuition ko—woman’s intuition ika nga—at guidance of the Still Small Voice kesa makinig sa mga kampon ng demonyo!
Pero sabi nga ni Ellen, freedom of speech. Nawiwili naman at bastos na inaabuse ang welcome ni Ellen. Nakakasuka sa totoo lang.
Grizzy – san, o genki desu ka?
for your comments – domoo arigatoo guzaimashita…..he he.
look beyond the news article at the motives of each and every player.
its really simple – who stands to gain the most from every action – and there you have your motive.
here’s a tip – those opposition senators and congressmen aren’t saints either. they use the “search for truth” excuse – but its all simple mudslinging. LAHAT SILA sa admin AND opposition, mga DOROBO, mga BAKA, mga BAKERO. agree?
Happy gilmore
Comparing the culture of Filipinos and Americans are like comparing apples and oranges. It’s really incomparable. The east and the west is completely and obsolutely different. Their only point where they meet is for common goal and that is for world peace and nothing more. So you’re out of line and diverting the issue by including America in this discussion. They have nothing to do with it. This is exclusively Filipino business and it’s nobody’s business. We are talking here about gloria and the Pidals their lying, cheating, stealing and killing. I just want to hear from you how effective the tip and recipe you suggested, your comments on dishonarables of Tongress, the justice system and the military, but you seem to forget it.
Mind you, I don’t blame gloria and company for the mess they created in the country. I am only commenting, or I should say hate their very bad habit of using and signing a limitless credit card, put the proceeds in their bank accounts and when the statement arrives it is presented to the Filipino people for them to pay. How cruel and brazen. Their greed is incomprehensible and insatiable. Only monsters do that.
When man was created, the creator gave them wisdom and brain, in that way they know what is good and evil, what is right and wrong. But it seems, what they got is the brain of a monster, that’s why they do not act as humans. No conscience and no shame.
If you are for the good of the country, hindi mo masisikmura at maari ka pang mag-alburuto or maybe you will even join the NPA. But it seems not kaya OK lang saiyo.
At sabi mo nga hindi ka binabayaran, napakawalanghiya naman pala nila, bukod sa magnanakaw, sinungaling at mandaraya, mga balasubas din pala, but as I see it, OK lang saiyo, dahil you are a contented, satisfied, “happy” and loyal fan of gloria and the pidals and being loyal you have to do what you have to do, a dificult task you put unto yourself, according to you.
kgg Florry,
all the tirades you can come up with is baseless unless proven in a court of law.
what is the end result of all the tirades of all that is not content / not happy with the admin?
nothing, unless these accusations are proven in a court of law.
that is what i am waiting for these bright boys in the opposition to do. bring this matter to a court of law.
but it seems all these oppositionists are intent on is to simulate the conditions to generate another People Power.
why? are their evidence so weak that they are sure that they cannot prove their allegations?
Good day po sa lahat!
Komento lang po ng isang mahirap na taong gaya ko..
Ang hirap na pong sikmurain ng harap-harapang katiwalian ng mga nakapuwesto.. BUKING NA ANG MGA KASAMAAN.. Dadaanin ka pa sa paligoyligoy na usapan ng ebidensiya,korte,Libel,justice,etc. na alam naman naming mahihirap na kontrolado rin nila na mayayaman..
Hindi po ako nakapag-aral pero kitangkita po at nauunawaan ng mangmang kong kaisipan ang mga pangyayaring ito. Wala lang po akong magawa dahil mas problema ko po kung saan ako kukuha ng ipapakain ko sa mga anak ko.
Naturingan silang matatalino, nakapag-aral, kagalanggalang pero ginagamit nila ito lahat sa pagsisinungaling, pagtatakip sa katotohanan, sa pagnanakaw.. ng salaping halos hindi ko alam kung gaano ito kadami.. usd 130 million ika ninyo.. ang masayaran lang po ng 500 pesos ang palad ko sa isang araw ay masayang-masaya na ako dahil may maipapantawid gutom na ang pamilya ko…. Panalangin ko kay Lord.. Maagnas sana ng buhay ang mga taong ito na siyang dahilan kung bakit naghihirap ang sambayanang pilipino..sana mabasa po nila ito…
happy gilmore , ano ba ang I Q mo ? court ka nang court law ka nang law . Baka naman sa paliwanag ni malikmata hindi mo pa maintindihan yang court mo at law mo. Well if not magpatawa ka na lang sa lamok. Amen.
