From ABS-CBN Online:
Neri: I cannot recall describing GMA as “evil”.
Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada Jr. on Monday said his friend, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairman Romulo Neri, sees President Arroyo as an “evil person.”
“He called Presidente GMA (Gloria Arroyo). She is evil. Evil po,” Lozada said referring to Neri as describing Mrs. Arroyo during a dinner meeting with senators Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Ma. Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal.
Lozada made the new revelation as he faced for the third time senators at the hearing on the botched $329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal, which he recently said as overpriced by at least $130 million.
The Senate witness, who appeared to be agonizing, initially refused to ask Lacson’s questions, saying that he already has several libel cases.
However, with the other senators’ pressure, Lozada was forced to “tell the truth.”
Lozada said the meeting took place on the fifth floor of the Asian Institute of Management building in Makati City. Lacson said the meeting happened last Dec. 7, 2007.
The Senate witness said that after Neri had testified at the Senate last October, the CHED chairman started to contemplate leaving his post in the government and revealing to the public what he knew about the alleged irregularities in the NBN deal.
He said Neri approached him and told him that he wanted to raise “patriotic money.” He said the money was supposed to be Neri’s insurance in case he decides to leave the government and reveal the secrets in the NBN deal.
“Baka raw wala na siyang mapuntahan at ayaw naman niyang mamalimos para sa kanyang ikabubuhay after ng buhay niya sa gobyerno (He was worried that he will be left with nowhere to go and he doesn’t want to beg after he leaves the government). He was trying to raise what we call ‘patriotic money,'” Lozada said.
The witness said Neri showed the two senators “drawings” of the oligarchs who influence and benefit from corruption.
He said that according to Neri, the oligarchs were Enrique Razon, chairman and president of International Container Terminal Services, Inc.; Lucio Tan, owner of Philippine Air Lines; and “Tommy” Alcantara and one of the “Aboitizes”.
Lozada said that according to Neri’s “ecosystem of corruption” in the Philippines, the Armed Forces of the Philippines was on top of the government agencies involved in corruption.
The other agencies were the Philippine National Police, the Department of Budget Management, and the National Economic Development Authority, which Neri headed during negotiations for the NBN project.
On Valentines Day, Neri told activists who chased him from his home in Quezon City that “the truth is deeper than what you think.”
He said the country’s problems are very deep and cannot be solved by a hundred rallies and people’s revolutions.
Neri told reporters that the Philippines is at an oligarchic state, where the government is ruled by a small faction of families or persons.
After Lozada’s requested 15-minute break, Sen. Francis Pangilinan pressed the Senate witness and asked him to reveal details of Neri and Mrs. Arroyo’s conversation about the NBN deal.
“Secretary Neri wanted to resign right away after that conversation,” Lozada said. He said the conversation happened after Neri informed Mrs. Arroyo about resigned election chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr.’s alleged P200-million bribe offer.
He said Neri started calling Mrs. Arroyo as evil after the conversation.
Lozada said that according to Neri, Mrs. Arroyo advised him not to mind Abalos’s offer and just approve the broadband contract with ZTE Corp.
Neri allegedly tried to go against the decision, but he was forced to eventually approve the contract after several exchanges of text messages and phone calls with Mrs. Arroyo.
Businessman Jose “Joey” de Venecia III earlier revealed a similar story about Neri and Mrs. Arroyo’s conversation about the NBN deal.
De Venecia said Mrs. Arroyo forced Neri to divert funds for the police’s and military’s housing projects and the Angat Dam development project to the NBN project.

Neri: I cannot recall describing Arroyo as ‘evil’
Embattled Chairman Romulo Neri of the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) said he cannot recall describing President Arroyo as “evil” during a previous meeting with Senate witness Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr. and two other senators.
“I know Jun is very sincere with me and cares for me but I really cannot recall that statement. I don’t remember. I cannot up to now,” Neri told a press conference in Malacañang Monday.
Palace officials called a press conference to answer statements made by Lozada during a Senate hearing Monday on the scrapped national broadband network contract with China’s ZTE Corp.
In his testimony, Lozada said the CHEd chief sees President Arroyo as an “evil person.”
“He called Presidente GMA (Gloria Arroyo). She is evil. Evil po,” Lozada said referring to Neri as describing Mrs. Arroyo during a dinner meeting with Senators Panfilo Lacson and Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal.
Lozada made the new revelation as he faced for the third time senators at the hearing on the botched $329-million NBN deal, which he recently said as overpriced by at least $130 million.
The Senate witness, who appeared to be agonizing, initially refused to ask Lacson’s questions, saying that he already has several libel cases.
However, with the other senators’ pressure, Lozada was forced to “tell the truth.”
Meeting did not “exist”
Neri admitted Monday meeting with two opposition senators and Lozada on the condition that the meeting did not “exist”. Neri said he, Lozada and the two senators agreed that that meeting never happened.
In his testimony before the Senate Monday, Lozada said the meeting took place on the fifth floor of the Asian Institute of Management building in Makati City. Lacson said the meeting happened last Dec. 7, 2007.
“We had a gentleman’s agreement that the meeting would be very confidential. In fact we all agreed, before that meeting that this meeting never happened,” Neri said in the press conference while Lozada resumed his testimony before the Senate.
He said he was surprised when it was reported by a newspaper.
“I was wondering why there were leakages, especially from Tribune (newspaper), so I was a bit concerned because we all agreed that this will be a confidential meeting,” Neri added.
He said the meeting, which was arranged by Lozada’s brother, did not touch on the botched $329 million NBN project with ZTE Corp. of China
“That’s very little thing to do with ZTE. That meeting was more on the discussing the political economy. I gave my usual lecture on political economy and to shorten it I just put one brief framework and I think we all agreed that this is the nature of the Philippine state and the oligarchic state, the players concerned,” Neri said.
Neri said however that the meeting was about the “political economy” of the country.
“We had to map the whole players in the political system and of course everybody has a role to play in the whole system. And my conclusion is that in this whole system, we are all victims of the whole oligarchic structure of the Philippine State,” Neri said.
Neri also admitted that there were exchanges of text messages between him and the President about the NBN-ZTE deal but he refused to elaborate, saying that these communications are covered by executive privilege.
“As I’ve said I have told the Senate all that I know about this ZTE thing except the matters that I thought would be covered by the confidentiality which is with the executive privilege. That much I can say,” Neri said.
Neri said he still believes that the reforms in the political economy of the country would be coming from the President with the help of all the sectors of society.
“The reason I have stuck it out with the Cabinet is because I feel there is hope within the executive. I cannot see hope coming from a coup de tat I cannot see I from any church-led type of movement. They all have their roles. I cannot see it coming from senate investigation alone,” the former socioeconomic planning chief said.
Very Neri!
Everything has to be in the confines of the four walls!
Romy is more concerned on the “political economy” of the country. This halfman halfwoman is full of shit! He’s really very good at words, though. I give him that!
Bakit hindi mo na lang sabihin ang totoo na takot kang mawalan ng trabaho (agree ako kay Lozada). As I said before, Neri’s foremost concern was to hold on to NEDA. E na-tsugi dahil duwag. Ayun, tinanggap ang CHED chair even if he’s not qualified. Ano ang tawag d’yan kundi takot mawalan ng trabaho! That coward ha!
Now, even his soul is in Gloria’s mercy. Sabagay, he can’t even save his own soul, the country’s soul pa kaya! Pathetic!
Ngayon mo lang ikinanta Hon. Lozadaa? 2001 pa tinuldukan ng Masang Pilipino (11Million + bystanders + Sa Pula, Sa Puti) ang si GMA kaya napakarami ang namimighati sa buhay.
Atleast nawa ang kwento ni Hon. Lozada na dating katropa ng Pidalismo regime eh maging liwanag sa lapat na na bulag sa katotohanan.
Nagbunga din ang laban ng Masang Pilipino since 2001, at i bet since then na ang rehimeng ito eh no. 1 violator ng ating Constitution and named it all, isang tambak na kaso ng corruptions and bribery etc. etc.
Di ba wrong doings ito at who is evil, na amnesia si Mr. Neri di na niya maalala yong word na sinabi niya sa harap ni Hon. Lozada.
Mawawala ang amnesia mo Mr. Neri kapag kumalas ka na sa pagkaposes ng evil sa iyong buhay.
Sure 100% magdoremi ka at maaalala mo yong nota na winika mo kina Hon. Lozada, okey!
Chi guarded si Mr. Neri ng mga kampon ng evil na pinasabog ni Hon. Lozada kanina at kita mo naman na wala sa mood ang pobre dahil may nakatutok na tangke sa likod nýa. Sa oras na magkamali siya ng bigkas ng nota eh todas siya dahil nasa loob siya ng premises ng Pidalismo regime.
Malakas ang kutob ko na nalalapit nang kumanta si Mr. Neri kaya wag kayong maiinip. Ito na ang katapusan ng Pidalismo regime at their end is very near na.
We need to pray moment by moment para di makaporma ang evil na winika ni Hon. Lozada and her cohorts.
Neri is a liar, the best ‘student’ of Gloria’s selective lapse of judgement so far! Evil begets evil!
Romulo Neri wants to maintain his current lifestyle. He is more concern with his source of income than national interest. A jobless Neri may not satisfy his lover’s extravagant lifestyle. He has no choice but to side with the evil empire.
Balweg,
Unless Neri come to his senses for the good of the majority of the pinoys and country, I’ll continue to despise him.
A person is gifted with a freedom to choose. This is the right moment for him to choose: request protection of the Senate and the church, as Lozada did, and bring the truth out, or he can be a prisoner of his own fear in his lifetime!
Chi:
Sabi ko nga sa isang loop, puede naman siyang magtrabaho bilang babae sa peria as “Ang babaing kamukha ni Hitler!” 😛
BTW, guys, Mayor Lim has joined the fundraising campaign for Lozada and others seeking sanctuary at the LaSalle Greenhills. Maglalagay daw ng kahon kung saan-saan para kahit magkano puedeng ilagay doon. Kung kaya ninyong magbigay, please do.
I don’t care about Neri’s preferences on life companion, although it seems that it’s the root of his fear. But I care a lot about his “alanganing” desisyon at pag-iisip because they are affecting the country’s life to the hilt!
GMA is an evil and it just confirmed what the bloggers here have been hammering the keyboards for so long. There will be denials for sure but the public will not believe it anymore.
Balweg,
Sa totoo lang si Lozada has an axe to grind with the government. Pinatay ang kapatid niya ng mga PNP, remember? Naalala ko iyong incident na iyon that happened on the same month of the now forgotten EDSA3. He must have wanted to take revenge but in the end was convinced to “join ’em crooks” to find justice for his brother. It paid off somehow with the men responsible for the brother’s death getting conviction but not the leader of those policemen. But as we all know, nagbayad na rin ang mamang iyon. God has made it possible he could not abuse further! Natepok!
Neri’s admission of meeting with the two senators did it. Huli na sariling bibig. Bakit pa siya makikipagkita kung kapit tuko siya kay GMA? Gustong mamangka sa dalawang ilog? And whether he owned saying GMA is evil or not, seeing two senators in the opposite camp is just like saying, mayroon akong sasabihin sa inyo. I believe they did not meet at AIM to say the rosary. Marami siyang isiniwalat and thanks to Jun Lozada, ayan na at sumambulat!
Neri is quite a strange fellow, he’s been given an opportunity to stand up as a man, why doesn’t he step up aleady?
Ingat si Neri and his fellow cabinet members of the criminal. It seems that the day of reckoning has come, and no showing of picture of EsPweron with the pakialamera US ambassadress can seem to turn back the tide. Malapit na sila! Just you wayt and see! Panic mood ang mga ungas. Hindi pa tapos ang hearing dala-dalawa pa ang publicity stunts, iyong kay Bunye at iyong sa anak ni Bru na kamukha nilang baboy!
Is it possible to revisit this EO464, it seems to me its purpose (national security) is not being served at all but is being touted by the executive to legally obstruct justice?
3 witnesses saying they heard Neri said Gloria Dorobo was evil versus 1, Neri, who said he did not remember, whom would you believe? Siyempre iyong maraming nakarinig!
mukhang malapit ng kumanta si Neri kapag nakalaya sa kuko ni GMA.
Ang sabi niya ay HINDI NIYA NATATANDAAN NA SINABIHAN NIYANG EVIL SI GMA.
Pero hindi niya deny na sinabi niya.
Konting uga na lang at bibigay na ito.
Just as I suspected all this time, some Oligarchs are influencing government policy. The people are facing virtual Goliaths, who have the reasources and the motive to protect Gloria Arroyo. On the other hand, if they perceive that their interests are threatened already, they might drop her like “hot potato.”
The media must highlight this, if ABS or GMA are really not afraid of big business.
Yuko: naawa ako kay Lozada during the investigation last night (our time)- nakikita sa mukha niya. Tunay siyang kaibigan..and Neri couldn’t seem to see this inspite of his laudes earned academically..kung puede lang for Lozada ayaw niya masaktan ang kaibigan niya. And he asked for a recess kasi baka sabihin daw uli ni Apostol na iyakin siya. He is very human..and very sincere..On the other hand si Neri naman maysakit na na amnesia..I don’t recall..He can’t recall that he called Gloria an “evil woman”..hindi pa niya masabi (I wouldn’t be surprised if he would) na isang anghel..hindi niya na rerecall na kumanta siya ng Devil Woman kasi gusto niyang kantahin ngayon ay “You are my Angel”. Incidentally, the 2006 convention of the All Religion for Peace was held in Kyoto..a most appropriate one..
Enrile was trying to squeeze from Lozada the names of the Oligarchs he mentioned. He mentioned names of those who attended Cory Aquino’s mass, but Lozada answered in the negative. Walang nagawa si Enrile, who said earlier in an interview that he sensed that Lozada was anti-government that was why he was singing. I was shocked. I did not expect Enrile to have stooped down that low to the powers that be. I thought that the evil woman must be really evil to be able to have a hold on these supposedly equally powerful men. Either she pays them or frighten them with the skeletons in their closet, maybe.
All the more reason that Filipinos should not wait for 2010, and muster their strength to remove this crook, her husband and their fellow crooks. Huwag nang lubayan! Patalsikin na!
I don’t fault Lozada for crying, Lee Kuan Yew cried (can be viewed on you tube), Martin Luther King cried, and I’ve personally seen grown men cry and they were members of the boxing and judo club – each one can literally break every bone in Apostol’s body effortlessly.
Honestly, I even shed tears at times reading this blog.
Great men cry, so what if all the world can see it?

Rose:
I am not subscribed to any of the Philippine TVs so I cannot see Lozada, et al but I was hooked on the radio the whole day and could hear how he agonized about hurting a friend in the process of a choice now of his life or Neri’s. Siya kasi may asawa at anak to consider, si Neri wala! You bet, nakakaawa!
What makes me angry really is how the hypocrites would even try now to belittle the man with such description as almost penniless just because the nuns have initiated a fund drive for him and his family versus the dorobos who have not just doubled by increased their material possessions a thousand fold with their loots in this and other similar illegal operations including some oil smuggling that I have the impression to be an open secret!
At least, Lozada was sincere enough to admit committing some minor violations that were actually not as grave and serious as this ad other rackets.
Nakakaawa, you say. Sinabi mo pa.
…a choice now between his or Neri’s life…
jug: Neri indeed seems to be a “strange fella” and as you said he had the opportunity but didn’t stand as a man..he couldn’t make up his mind whether he/she?. talking of indecisions, hindi ko nakita ang mukha ni “oh my gal so very” among the senators..nandoon ba siya? Hindi ko kasi kilala ang mukha niya.. Si Neri hindi mahamon sa suntukan, o sa kurotan..sa pitikan na lang kaya..pero saan? sa tainga, sa ilong, o sa..hindi ba biro ng mga kalalakihan habang nagtatagay…ang gentlemen’s agreement is..”walang tutuga ang magsalita ay pipitikin sa itlog”?
Jug: I don’t fault Lozada for crying,
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Jug. For me, tears can be sign of humility and a soft heart. Marunong mabagbag ang damdamin is what my mother said to encourage us to be as human/humane as we are capable of being so. Without the tears, hindi na tao even when I remember my pet pig having tears in her eyes when my mother sold her to the butcher!
At least three Cabinet members, Ermita, Bunye and Neri issued a joint statement claiming unwavering support to Gloria Arroyo Pidal, the entire Cabinet members pledged that they will never abandon Guriang Korap and stay with her until she finishes her term in 2010. – source: Tribune
****
Sinong tinakot n’yo! E wala na kayong kwenta para sa majoirty ng pinoy!
‘Yan ba ang mauuga si Neri?!
rose: Notice how usec Formoso always has a comment belittling or insulting Lozada everytime he gets an opportunity.
And the Arroyo brothers (buti na lang Yuko did not see), ang yayabang, gloating pa, during the ouster of JDV – it was obvious that they orchestrated the whole thing, how many millions chnaged hands na naman? All this, while people are dying of hunger and sickness in the country. tsk tsk tsk
bat ganun itsura ni secretary neri kanina sa “roadshow” nila? parang bothered na bothered. tapos si secretary ermita panay ang dikta kay neri.
pero mukhang tama si magsasaka, malapi-lapit ng bumigay tong si secretary neri.
Neri knows that Lozada deeply cares for him but he won’t act on it. He’s being bayagless clouds his mental ability to think right!
I’m pretty sure Ermita et al has something on Neri, some dark or maybe scandalous secret perhaps. Only divine intervention can probably move Neri’s heart.
dangerdanger,
Manikang de susi ni Gloria ngayon si Neri! He’s bothered kasi ay tutuluyan siya ng Pidal criminal gang! Kung ako sa kanya ay magmamakawa ako ng proteksyon sa Senado at Simbahan. ‘Yan lang ang paraan para hindi s’ya matodas!
Jug,
Madrigal was actually trying to be really bitchy when she was interrogating Lozada re the secret life of Neri, but the loyal friend was very careful not to divulge anything about Neri’s skeletons in the closet.
Sabi na lang niya kay Madrigal, “Kayo na lang po ang magsabi ang I will confirm or deny.” Buti na lang may delikadesa din naman si Madrigal, sabi na lang niya, “I may just as well ask directly Neri himself.
“Glori is evil” — Neri
Well, if she is then why do you keep on protecting her?
Why do you go on defending her? If she is evil and you defend and protect her, what does that make you? Evil Jr.?
I forgot to mention, Madrigal also asked Lozada about Izquirre and why a hight school drop out ba iyong should get a hi-tech job. Lozada declined to answer. Ganoon siya ka-loyal sa kaibigan!
Kaka pala nakita kong sumasayaw si asspweron eh may 300 milyon na naman siyang panuhol sa kanyang mga patabaing henerales. Why don’t the AFP take note of the billions already given to asspweron supposedly to modernize the force and for housing. Baka naman to modernize a few of the generals’ homes and pabahay sa mga kabits nila included!
neri was smart in some of his views – but made a blunder in ever talking to Lacson and even a bigger mistake to talk to MADRIGAL
yep, the Philippines is in an oligarchic state.
and LACSON AND MADRIGAL is in the top list of families where power and money are concentrated on.
so is the truth in the best interest of Lacson and Madrigal?
heck no.
preservation and expansion of wealth, power and influence is at the forefront of the agendas of LACSON and MADRIGAL.
This is obvious.

O…umiiwas pa si Nerissa…The answer is only either Yes or No.No if or buts or maybe and definetely no “I dont remember” How can you forget how you feel about GMA? Maybe you should have said:”I cant answer that question…Im afraid for my life and my boyfriend’s” Wala ka nang lusot kaya magsalita ka na at magsabi ng totoo,malamang mapatawad ka pa ng Bansang Pilipinas.
nakita ko kanina ang mukha ni Neri..yon ba ang sinasabi na “his is a face only mother can love?”
and I am surprised that with all his intelligence he can not see the goodness in Jun Lozada’s heart..I wonder kung nagbabasa siya ng bible..at any rate has he heard of “what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffers the loss of his soul”. Si FG nagbabasa rin ng bible..a city big boy with all his wealth can not see that while a probinsiyanong intsik not only understood it but is a living witness of the bible..wealth does not make a man indeed..
Parang nakangiti siya noon sabihin niya “I don’t remember”. Ibig sabihin totoong evil woman si Gloriang Dorobo.
http://www.gmanews.tv/video/18274/Saksi-Neri-can‘t-recall-calling-Arroyo-‘evil’
Holy Molly! Romy Neri looked like he has been lobotomized!
Gloriang-Gloria na s’ya sa pagsisinungaling!
Need more confirmation on oligarchs? Read former Cong. Willie Villarama’s speech at http://reklamo.ph/maritimewatchkeeper/?p=65 Also some material which I think are included in what Jun Lozada describes as ‘Neri’s power point’ at http://among.reklamo.ph
Errata: Villarama’s ‘speech’ was actually an opinion which he submitted to the newspaper, Malaya.
Grabeng pambabastos yung presscon ng Malacañang kahapon. During the lunchbreak, Tony Velasquez of ANC interviewed separately Enrile, Lacson and Madrigal. Enrile wanted Ping and Jamby to provide the rest of the details of the AIM meeting but Lacson refused saying he stands by his promise to Neri not to divulge the details and he can only do so if under the oath. He referred Tony to Jamby who, as Lacson hinted, will be grilling Lozada on the personal circumstances of Neri. Jamby herself told Tony to follow her questions closely. What could be so revealing?
As grizzy said, Jamby called off the Tom Eisaguirre line of questioning when Lozada begged to refuse answering that.
She moved in to Neri personal finances and at that very moment, the stooges Bunye-Ermita-Neri preempted the Senate hearing’s live coverage over ANC while Jamby was asking what was supposed to be the “juicy” questions, by airing their own presscon.
Why did ANC allow that? It was just to read a statement they already announced earlier. I switched to QTV which still carried the hearings but also switched to Malacañang.
Was it the purpose of the presscon to elbow Jamby’s questions out of the airwaves? Or was it done simultaneously so Neri cannot hear what Jamby is trying to squeeze out of Lozada? That way, the bogey that prevents Neri from telling all would not be compromised.
I agree with Cayetano’s opening statement that if those invited refuse to come to the Senate, media should deny them access to public statements. The one I mentioned here fits perfectly with what Cayetano had in mind.
Yesterday, media was complicit in Neri’s refusal to reveal the truth.
Kung tama ang pagkarinig ko sa sinabi ni Lozada kahapon sa senate hearing, na ‘unpredictable’ si Neri. Sa ambush interview naman kay Neri nuong Feb 14 sa labas ng bahay niya, kinumbinsi siyang magsalita na, pero ang narinig kong sagot niya ay ‘at the proper time’. Sa tingin ko ay may pagasa pa kay Neri. Baka biglang mag-turn around siya, ganyan naman ang mga ‘unpredictables’.
Magsasaka,
Pareho tayo ng pagkaintindi between the lines sa sinabi ni Neri. Hindi man niya inamin ay di naman niya itinanggi na sinabi niyang Evil si Gloria. It’s just like playing safe siya dahil may mga nakatutok sa kanya. Sinabi na lang niya na hindi niya matandaan. In fairness to Neri, wala pa naman siyang binaligtad sa mga sinabi ni Lozada. At sinasabi niya sa mga interviews na may mga bagay siyang hindi masabi dahil sa executive privilege. Pag harap niya sa Senado maaalala niya lahat at ikukuwento sa atin. Actually sa ngayon ay para siyang bilanggo. Kailangan lang ay magkalakas siya ng loob na mag-resign para makakawala na rin sa kuko ng mga kriminal at magaroon ng FREEDOM!
Before I forget, isinabay nga din pala ang Ombudsman investigation-cum-announcement of inhibition ni Merciless Against Small Fry sa Senate hearing. Continuing cover-up ops pa rin.
They might be sensing that the Supreme Court is leaning towards rejection of Neri’s invoking executive privilege. They are now saying that because the Ombudsman is investigating, the case is sub judice, the ASG and the PNP used this excuse not to attend the Senate sessions even as the SC has already ruled against this in Sabio vs. Senate.
The SC must start asserting itself! Look at the computerization deal, now this! Put these criminals in jail!
Sa blog ko, may ginawa akong picture ala-Resident Evil, ginawa ko lang “President Evil – Apocalypse” kaso hindi si Mila Jovovich ang nasa picture, kundi si Gloria Dorovobitch!
I agree with Neri’s assessment of the Phil. Political/Socio/economic situation. I, however, disagree with his view that the executive has the power to straighten things out I really believe that Neri is fooling himself to think that, Gloria, appropriately called evil, can not change anymore. The only way to turn things around is to get rid of the evil in the palace.
We are in tough shit, my fellow countrymen.
Tongue,
Thanks for this “kaso hindi si Mila Jovovich ang nasa picture, kundi si Gloria Dorovobitch!” Gumanda ang gising ko!
Chi,
Iyong mukha ni Nerissa mukhang takot na takot. It was not a face of confidence. Alam niyang hindi siya makakalusot doon sa oligarch thing na binanggit ni Lozada na sinabing may chart pa na ipepresenta ni Lozada in time, kaya partly inamin niya ang sinabi ng kaibigan.
Biglang tingin kamukha din ni Manny Pacquiao!
Yuko, Chi,
Neri has dug himself a hole so deep, I don’t believe he’ll be able to do a volte face anymore. He’s in it forever.
The man is a goner. He’s a coward of the really ignoble variety. In my book, as things stand, he is unredeemable. What an absolutely, incredibly, utterly disgusting persona!
Neri’s description of Gloria as an evil as testified by Lozada put him in a very embarassing and awkward situation, not only in the eyes of gloria but with all her defenders. Short of admitting it, he didn’t deny either and the best defense he could muster is to say that he can’t remember saying it. That’s the best he could say in the face of the ongoing situation. Na-corner siya and he has nowhere to go.
No doubt Gloria believed that Neri actually said that, but that’s no longer matter to her, anyway she also believes that she is really a devil. Her survival is paramount at the moment. As long as Neri remains by her side and won’t go to the Senate and testify, he is still OK with her. Neri can wait, there will be some times for him and if she manages to pull and survive from this crises, Neri will be a marked man. That’s how gloria operate when you make her mad. It’s like “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn”.
Agree with you Florry!
grizzy,
I uploaded the wrong picture the first time. I’ve updated it just this morning.
Si Neri ay parang “dog” on a leash! He can’t go anywhere without the “master”!
Makakalimutin na pala si Ginoon Neri, hindi na niya maala-ala pa kung sinabi niyang the President is evil. Nadinig ko rin kanina kina Anthony Taverna baga lasing noon si Neri nang sinabi niyang “the President is evil.” Sa tutoo lang marami sa gobyerno ngayon ang lasing,hindi sa alak pero sa kapangyarihan, sa pangungurakot at pagkamal ng limpak-limpak na salapi ng bayan, at pang-aapi/pananakit ng mga mamayan. Ito ang tinatawag na evil of those in power. It takes a repentant “probinsiyanong intsik” to confirm such an evil and to bring out such an statement. Lozada’s disclosure of the truth is not enough, we need more action, action, action!
Siyanga pala, DOTC’s second man Attorney Formoso disclosed that he is also an Ilokanong probinsiyano in the ABS-CBN’s Harapan last Saturday. Pero he does not only look like an ordinary probinsiyano, sabi nga nila class siya tignan at mukhang Chinese. Mayroon kaya siyang Chinese blood? If ever, Jun Lozda hindi ka nagiisa, dalawa na kayo…
Sinong may sabing imposibleng magkaroon pa ng another people’s power? Dito na nga lang ang daming bloggers ni Ellen with the anti-dorobos outnumbering the Luli brigaders. Next time though, hindi na EDSA ang pangalan. Makati-Greenhills na!!!
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
To paraphrase Mr Burke’s words to the current Philippine setting:”All that is necessary for Gloria to triumph is that the good people do nothing.”
In the end, it is still (& should always be) up to the people.
KaptK: FYI, a lot many Ilocanos in fact have roots from China because of the proximity of Ilocos to Mainland China. If you dig into the original names of the people there before they adopted those Spanish “apellidos,” they had Chinese names as in Ka Laikai, which was Hispanized to Calaycay! Or Singson, Siason or even Deekiam! 😛
Is there any way we can contribute money for jun lozada’s legal bills? i bet if lozada sets up a system where he can accept online donations, maraming magko-contribute. paypal?

Evil!
2001 military backed coup is evil. 2004 elections was and will always be evil. Now the controversies hounding around this fake and evil government makes the evil more evil.
What do we expect from an evil leader? Good governance?
Sa mga bulag pero may mga matang nakakakita, idilat nyo mga mata ninyo. Sa mga bingi pero may mga tengang nakakarinig, magtanggal kayo ng tutuli. Sa mga deny to the bone and deny to death hanggang ngayon, mag audition na lang kayo sa mga bigtime film producers, baka makarating pa kayo ng HollyWood. Maging co-stars pa kayo sa susunod na pelikula ng Transformers. Magaling pala kayong artista at scriptwriters! Mag audition na!
Doon sa mga taong nasa gobyerno na wala ng silbi yung mata at tenga, mag-resign na kayo. Di pwede diyan yung mga impaired tapos inutil pa. Mabuti pa yung mga bulag na makikita sa kung saan, nagtatrabaho ng marangal may makain lang. May kumakanta at may kasama pang hilot o masahe. Kayo, hinihilot ninyo bulsa ninyo. Mahiya naman kayo sa mga talagang phisically impaired at sa mga katutubo na sa halip na anihin yung bayabas ay binigay na lang sa mga ibon para may makain.

Mayor Lim has joined the fund drive for Jun Lozada. Boxes are being installed in the city hall of Manila I think for people to put in their coins and paper money for Lozada there.
I guess it is part of the AMRSP’s sanctuary fund for witnesses with Jun Lozada as the first beneficiary. The legal costs against libel suits the crooks in Malacanang and outside plan to file in court against Jlo are covered. Kahit konti ang abuloy, surely, it will go a long way!
Thanks for the information kasamang Grizzy. Marami pala sa mga kalahi ni Diego at Gabriela Silang ang may Chinese blood. No wonder why marami sa mga GI’s ang matipid at pinaghahandaan ang kanilang kinabukasan. Kagaya din ng mga Chinese laging nag-iimpok para sa kanilang kinabukasan. But speaking of impok, kaya daw inalok si Neri ng Patriotic money dahil wala siyag ipon kapag tinanggal siya sa puwesto. Ang pera ay pinagpapaguran, hindi kinukulimbat kung saan saan. Ang panlaban ng ng dorobo’s gang sa mga kalaban ay pera. Kaya maraming nagpapagamit sa Malacanang dahil sa pera, pera pera lang iyan. Ang kasamaan lang nito ay pera ng bayang ang ipinamimigay. The evil of governance is rooted with the desire of easy money by those living in the dark. May mga opisyales ng pamahalaan na isasangla/ipagbibili ang kanilang kaluluwa sa the “evil one” for the love of money. Lozada wants to save his soul, sana ganon din si Ginoong Neri. But with the galamay of the evil one holding his neck, all he could say sa mga panawaganan natin– nek nek niyo. Kung laging ganyan, pasasaa ba– pagkahab-haba ng usapan sa People’s Power din ang tuloy.
Evil!
Fit na fit siya sa pelikulang “Resident Evil.”
Si Mila Jovovich ba yung bidang babae dun?
Ito si Arroyo Dorobobitch! 🙂
Golberg, click on my name
Tongue, bakit mo nilagyan ng Bishops dress yung President Evil? Bawal yung ganun na babae na nakasutana. Ok lang yung sungay 🙂
Pero alam mo Tongue, kung wala yung Colegiality at maayos pa ang takbo ng utak ng mga alagad ng simbahan, excommunicated na iyan si President Evil. Ang kaso, talagang salisalingkwang na yung utak ng mga obispo ng simbahan. Kung ano ano na lang ang naiisip. Maganda yung graphics! Masayang tingnan habang binabasa.
tounge,
pwede bang ilagay ko din sa blog ko yung ginawa mong president evil? ili-link ko na lang yung page mo. at alam ko may bagong sequel yang movie na yan eh, PRESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION!
Ok na ok ang title na President Evil – in na in.
Thanks, Tongue! You made my day.
makes you wonder what gma and her ilk have on neri. must be pretty damning. we’re thinking something in the likes of a sex tape or something.
Nerina bakit di mo maalala nasobrahan ka ba?
Tanong ko lang. Hanggang kailan pa ba magtitiis ang mga pilipino?
Tongue,
Alam mo, kinilabutan ako sa nakasutanang Gloria na ginawa mo!
“They are now saying that because the Ombudsman is investigating, the case is sub judice, the ASG and the PNP used this excuse not to attend the Senate sessions even as the SC has already ruled against this in Sabio vs. Senate.”
TongueT,
Wala sa lugar yung ALIBI ng mga PNP at ASG na huwag um-aatend sa Senate hearing, dahil ang iniimbestigahan ng Ombudsman ay tungkol sa NBN-ZTE scam, samantalang ang dinidinig sa Senado na sangkot ang PNP at ASG ay tungkol sa ABDUCTION o KIDNAPPING kay Jun Lozada. Magkaibang yung kaso. Laking takot nila at iwas pusoy dahil bukong-buko sila lalo na at may ebidensiyang logbook.
Tongue, okay yung summary story mo sa President Evil. Sana gawaan mo ng sample video at ilagay sa Youtube.
Luz: “They are now saying that because the Ombudsman is investigating, the case is sub judice, the ASG and the PNP used this excuse not to attend the Senate sessions even as the SC has already ruled against this in Sabio vs. Senate.”

Papaano nakakalusot iyan sa Pilipinas? Gosh, sobrang primitive. Kunyari pa raw very legalistic ang mga lawbreakers ha. Sa amin iyan, makiki-cooperate ang prosecutor sa Senate and/court. Over here, pinapadaan muna sa parliament namin ang ganyan mga issues na involved ang pinuno ng bansa sa mga racket. Then, the case is passed on to the party they are connected with to disown or remove them from the rooster so that they can be stripped of any immunity as public officials, after which they are turned over to he police for further investigation and then if there are enough evidences, they are indicted, tried in court to see if they are reformable and then get prison terms as punishment especially for breach of public trust when they violate the law that they are subject to.
Simply lang ang procedure, hindi nilalabo the way the idiots do in the Philippines. Golly, sa totoo lang natatawa ako doon sa mga tanong ng mga mayayabang na akala mo naman talagang powerful and kasing dunong ng Panginoon.
Meanwhile, tuwang-tuwa ako at napahiya si Joker Arroyo. Dati na akong inis sa mamang iyan. Sipsip!
OK lang na ini-inhibit ni Maldita Gutierrez ang sarili niya doon sa kaso ng boyfriend niyang IpDye. Pero mali pa rin. Bakit pinapahawak doon sa deputy assistant niya. Conflict of interest pa rin iyon. Someone not connected with the Fat Guy should be assigned to the case. Mahirap pang isipin iyon. Common sense naman please!
Kapt. K,
You bet. Maraming Ilocano may lahing intsik no doubt. Notice ko lang maraming pamahiin at kostumbre ang mga Ilocano na walang pinag-iba doon sa mga intsik gaya noong nag-aatang kapag may handa. I think Buddhist practice iyon kasi sa Japan din ganoon ang ginagawa. Kaya nakita mo pag fiesta ng patay, punta ka sa sementeryo ng intsik, ang daming masasarap na pagkain nakaahin sa patay.
Iyong mother ko kasi, naglalagay ng pagkain sa altar na may litrato ng mga namatay na partido namin. Tapos nagdarasal. Pinapalo niya ang mga kamay namin ‘pag dinidilpatan namin iyong atang niya. Kahit sa Tate, dala niya ang kostumbreng iyon.
CBCP head: EDSA II installed a leader judged ‘most corrupt’
CBCP President and Iloilo Archbishop Angel Lagdameo expressed disappointment over the results of the People Power II, saying the Church-endorsed revolution installed a President who is now being judged by local surveys as the country’s “most corrupt” leader.
Lagdameo described the assessment of Gloria Arroyo as the country’s most corrupt president as “embarrassing.”
“We went from one frying pan to a worse frying pan, but what can we do?”, he said. (source:gmanews)

Meron! Lead the people again to another people power that’ll kick Gloria’s smelly butt away from Pinas!
Not away from Pinas pala. To the Muntinlupa preso she goes!
Chi,
People appointed by Gloria as ambassadors should resign — they should feel embarass representing or speaking in the name of EVIL!
Chi,
Not away Pilipinas, especially not to the USA where they have real estates that will afford them a life of comfort. Di bale kung ipi-freeze yong assets nila like what the Americans did to Marcos kaya napilitan umuwi si Imelda sa Pilipinas, and unless the US revokes their green cards kaya nga kailangang umuwi sa Tate si Fatso for renewal of his green card I am told. Kailangang makatikim iyan ng buhay sa Munti, and no privilege like the one enjoyed by the rapist Jalosjos!
Bilib ka talaga sa Pilipinas, pati sa loob ng kulungan may gap between the poor and the rich. Sa Japan, pare-pareho—pare-parehong convict! 😛
…from Pilipinas….
Anna,
Kasing kapalmuks ni Gloria ang kanyang mga ambassadors if they don’t resign.
Agree, mahiya sila for representing the evil one.
Well, we’ll see the effect of the call of the CBCP now for the ousting of Gloria Dorobo even though I sense a double edge to the statement of the cardinal in Iloilo. Parang gusto niyang sabihin, people’s power is useless when he said that EDSA 2 created a monster, and there is the possibility of another monster created by another EDSA. Kaya nga hindi na nga EDSA, Makati-Greenhills na, and this time, no more cardinals and CBCP.
Kung gustung sumama ng mga pare at madre, OK lang, pero diiretso na dapat ang tawag sa Diyos! Mas effective. Tignan natin kung sino pang babasbasan ng Diyos to lead.
I wonder, what would be the most appropriate punishment for Gloria?! Kung mamamatay e lucky pa! Isama kaya sa criminals sa Munti, yung pagtitiyagaan ang bruha ng mga hayok sa laman!
Yuko,
You’re right, medyo malabo. What I understood from the “brand new people power” is prayer rallies.
But it the prayer rallies will shoo the evil one out to Munti,
so be it.
Actually Chi, career diplomats should not be included — only the political appointee diplomats should resign (that is if they have delicadeza left). They shouldn’t be so hubristic that they believe they are representing the country and therefore believe they are indispensable.
The embassies will run with or without them. There are enough qualified diplomatic technocrats to ensure that RP’s embassies will work.
Sure, Anna. Only the Gloria personal diplomats. Those who worked hard professionally for their titles must remain in their foreign posts.
In the corporate world, the golden rule is for everyone never to admit anything depreciatory and better to keep your mouth shut. So we should not be surprised if Neri forgot. I am in the same light whenever my wife got a load from her circle of nosy amigas. The golden rule has now evolved into ‘alzheimers’disease.
“I am in the same light whenever my wife got a load from her circle of nosy amigas”.
Hahahaha! Ganun ba ‘yun, Valdemar?!
folks…joke time:
– sa umpisa ang tawag sa taong walang hiya: MAKAPAL;
– nung lumala ay naging: GARAPAL;
– ngayon, malubha na. ang tawag: MACAPAGAL!
another one..but please, this is just to make our senses a little relax…
In heaven:
Reporter: ano po ang masasabi nyo sa kaguluhan sa Pilipinas?
Ninoy: nagkamali ata ako, am not sure if the Filipino is worth dying for, mukhang hindi ata. Mabuti pa ang isang probinsyanong Instik, sinayang ko lang tulong ang buhay ko.
Rizal: ikaw kc, gaya gaya ka! Ginawa ko na yan 300 yrs ago pero walang nangyari, inulit mo pa!
folks..i have no intention to rebuke our heroes Ninoy and Rizal for i salute them as true Filipino heroes who dont need to shed blood, or even stoop low to use the power of brazenness….there are thousands and thousands of our pinoy brothers who are also unsung heroes…the moral of this “joke” is, we have to TRY REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD, not to repeat the same predicament..what is worth dying for, is the love and nationalism for one’s country..for which i think the Filipinos need more….sadly…..
Yahahahaha! there’s truth to it naman, Purple.
Thanks, guys. Kung gusto ninyong kopyahin, i-link o i-email, OK lang. Yung, sutana, picture yon ni Rosales, tinanggal ko lang yung cross nakalimutan kong palitan ng insignia ng demonyo e. Pinatungan ko ng mukha kaso na-flip horizontal ko kaya nasa kanang pisngi yung nunal, heheh. Yung background, sa Resident Evil yon.
Naku, hindi aalis yang appointed diplomats. Kung si Tom Alcantara, ginatasan yung MECO office sa Taipei, nakotongan yung mga Pinoy sa passport renewal na hindi naman niya sakop. Dapat yun sa Embassy sa China or Hong Kong. Putris, $10M binigay ni Alcantara galing doon sa passport income sa kampanya ni Pandak nung 2004! Magkano pa kaya ang kinupit ng gagong yan? Mas malaki pa doon sigurado!
Kaya ayun miyembro ng Mafia nila Razon, Aboitiz, Buboy M. at Bumboy A. ang gago! Yan ang dapat pugutan, yang mga crony na mafia pa.
Tongue,
Agree! Difficult to believe that there is one honourable person among these Gloria politically appointed ambassadors.
Kasamang grizzy speaking of pamahiin, napansin ko rin iyan nang ako ay nasa California at Washington. Mga kamag-anak namin doon ay naglalagay ng atang para sa mga yumaong kapamilya. Siguro ito ay pagpupugay din sa kabutihan at kabaitan ng mga pumanaw na nilang kamag-anak. Sabagay ang mga Ilocano ay kalat din sa buong daigdig kagaya ng mga Chinese din. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ang mga naunang migrant workers sa Hawaii ay mga Ilocano. Ito ang mga mababait na Ilocano, kagaya rin sa karamihan ng mga Filipino, na nagtitiis magtrabaho sa ibang bansa upang umunlad ang kanilang pamumuhay at mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Ginoong Neri, kaya stable pa rin ang ating economy(despite corruption in the government)ay dahil sa mga remittances ng mga OFWs. Makonsensiya sana ang dorobong gobyiernong ito,umaasa na lang sa mga OFWs na nagtitiis iwanan ang kanilang mahal sa buhay upang kumita kahit papaano. Sa tutoo lang walang nabibilang lang ang nagawa ng gobyiernong ito upang paunlarin ang kabuhayan ng mga maliliit na mamayan. Sabi nga ni Neri malalim daw ang ugat ng paghihirap ng bansang Pilipinas. It is a combination of various factors, capitalism, oligarchy, politics, culture, etc. Nandiyan na tayo, pero ang bottom line, greed, corruption, vested interest and the desire to stay in power. Lagyan mo ng personalidad ang bawat isa sa mga naturang factors at iisa lang ang ibig sabihin–the evil of the dorobo system has gone extreme. Kahapon may “unity walk” na naganap sa Malacanang. Going back to pamahiin, the same “unity walk” din ang naganap before pinatalsik si Erap… May karma kaya sa “unity walk” na iyan? Daniel 5: 25, “MENE, MENE, TEKEL…” “You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting”(Daniel 5:26-27). Awan ti agbilang a di agpullo (in due time you will be held accountable to what you have done). The count down has begun…
Wow! Peeeople, moderate the stress – pleeease. Manood muna kayo ng sine – Showing na and sequel sa “pRESIDENT EVIL”. This has a new format – mas real. Yung mga iilan na nabubuhay sa nakaw at pandaraya – malacanan residents, generals, oligarchs etc. – sila naman ang kumakain ng taong bayan.
Lalong humahaba ang baba ni jamby madrigal kapag nagsisinungaling siya.
Alecks P. Pabico over at http://www.pcij.org/blog/?p=2188#comments shows some colored slides which looks like the December 9 presentation at the AIM and are very similar to what I referred to above. Aleck’s write-up is more complete since he has some text accompanying the slides.
Evil if we spell from the end (backward) means “Live”. Past tense of “Live” is “Lived”. If we spell “Lived” backward it becomes “Devil”. So, when Neri called and described Gloria Arroyo as “Evil” he was also describing her as the “Devil”.

Buddy, natawa ako sa sinabi ni Jamby sa Senado na kaunti lang ang damit niya, dalawa lang ang bag at sira pa ang sapatos niya. Jamby spent millions to win the election including getting the service of popular actress Judy Ann Santos. Hindi lang kuripot iyan, ginugutom pa niya ang kanyang staff. Kahit sa bahay nila, mas masarap pa ang pagkain ng kanyang mga alagang aso kesa sa mga katulong. Kilalang matapobre iyan. She has the ambition of running for Vice in 2010…possibly Senator Lacson’s running mate.
