Cory, Erap lead biggest rally against GMA yet
by Ashzel Hachero
Malaya
In their biggest anti-Arroyo gathering so far, sectoral groups yesterday gathered at the Ninoy Aquino Monument in Makati City in an interfaith prayer rally attended by former Presidents Corazon Aquino and Joseph Estrada, who reiterated their calls for President Arroyo’s resignation.
Senate witness Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada, who exposed payoffs and other anomalies in government’s national broadband network deal with a Chinese firm, also briefly addressed the crowd that organizers said peaked at 80,000 at the monument at Paseo de Roxas and Ayala avenues, with the protesters on Ayala reaching the Glorietta area.
Police estimated the crowd at 15,000 at its peak.
“Sobra na, tama na, resign na,” Aquino told the crowd.
Aquino said at her age, she thought she was done with rallies but said the times are calling for her to act.
Estrada said the red windbreaker he was wearing symbolizes his desire to be with the people in the continuing search for the truth in the overpriced NBN deal with China’s ZTE Corp.
He said he is with the people’s struggle to search for the “truth” and that President Arroyo should follow the public’s call for her to resign.
“I just want to be remembered as the one who championed the masses,” he said when asked if he had publicly decided to go against Arroyo.
He described himself as an “understaying” president and Arroyo as “overstaying.” He asked the crowd what should be done to someone overstaying. “Palitan na,” said the crowd, to which he said: “Hindi ako ang nagsabi niyan.”
Lozada said some P1.47 billion in government funds intended for various projects is missing.
“Pagkatapos ng gabing to, pakitanong sa gobyerno ninyo kung saan napunta yung P1.47 billion na di ninyo nakita,” he said.
Lozada criticized the police that reportedly blocked several groups of protesters, including contingents of militant groups from Southern Luzon.
He thanked Filipinos supporting him in the search for the truth, particularly in alleged overpriced NBN-ZTE deal.
“Lahat ng nandito ngayong gabi… iisa lang ang ibig sabihin nito. Mas binigyan ninyo ng halaga ang mga karapatan ng mga biktima ng korapsyon kung bakit kayo nandito ngayong gabi. Kasi marami pa tayong kasama na binibigyan ng pahalaga ang karapatan… ng mga nang-aapi sa atin,” Lozada said.
Joining the United Opposition in the rally were leaders of various Church groups, including Jesus Is Lord’s Eddie Villanueva and Archbishop Oscar Cruz and Bishop Teodoro Bacani.
Also among those in the rally were Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, Rep. Risa Baraquel-Hontiveros, former senator Loi Estrada, former Speaker Jose de Venecia’s wife Gina, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, civil society leader Pastor Boy Saycon, and ZTE whistle-blower Joey de Venecia III.
Villanueva asked Arroyo to open her eyes to the Filipinos’ living conditions and to the military to remain the “protector” of the Filipino people.
Bacani, in a moment of sarcasm, said it has become hard nowadays to tell the truth in the country. If someone wants to talk about the truth, he would be sent to Hong Kong, Bacani said, referring to Lozada.
And if that someone already wants to go back to his home in Pasig, he would be transported by government agents to Alabang, Bacani added.
Bacani appealed to former socioeconomic planning Secretary Romulo Neri to come out and tell the whole truth in the ZTE deal.
“Neri, pakiusap ko, magsabi ka na,” Bacani said.
Neri has told the Senate he had been offered by former elections chair Benjamin Abalos P200 million for the approval of the NBN project.
The Alliance of Progressive Labor and the Health Alliance for Democracy, which also joined the rally, called on the public to join the continuous expressions of dismay over Arroyo’s insistence to cling to her post.

Defying last-ditch scare tactics, a broad movement of groups seeking President Arroyo’s resignation yesterday mobilized tens of thousand protesters at the interfaith rally at the Ninoy Aquino Monument in Makati City.
Organizers placed the crowd at 75,000 to 80,000. The police figure was 15,000.
Makati City Mayor and United Opposition president Jejomar Binay unleashed a minor political earthquake when he ended his opening remarks by calling on stage former Presidents Corazon Aquino, in her trademark yellow dress, and Joseph Estrada, in a red windbreaker.
Aquino and Estrada gave brief remarks before the crowd, in an apparent effort not to violate the agreed rally protocol that no politician would be allowed on stage, except for Binay who was tasked to deliver a welcome speech.
Aquino and Estrada sat beside each other on the makeshift stage.
Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said rally organizers saw the crowd peak at around 5 p.m., soon after marchers from various points in the country’s financial capital converged at Paseo de Roxas and Ayala avenue.
Reyes said the huge turnout represented “the strongest rejection yet of Mrs. Arroyo.”
“No single group or person claims credit in leading this initiative. No one is excluded and everybody, every group, made a contribution.
Mrs. Gloria Arroyo made this possible. Her bankrupt and corrupt regime provided the urgency for everyone to set aside their differences and struggle together for truth and justice,” Reyes said.
‘Goodbye Gloria’
Priests in white cassocks recited the rosary, university students shouted “Fight for Truth” and office workers from nearby high-rise buildings sprinkled confetti.
“Goodbye Gloria” and “Kick Out Gloria, Change the System” were among the hundreds of placards held up.
In the interfaith portion of the rally, representatives of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente, United Church of Christ in the Philippines, the Philippines for Jesus Movement and Jesus is Lord Movement alternated prayers, reflections and stinging rebukes against Arroyo.
Hundreds of green balloons were released at the end of the program to signify “that we are sending prayers to God,” said Fr. Joe Dizon of Church-based group Solidarity Philippines.
As in the rally last February 15, more protesters applauded and responded when speakers, including bishops, pastors and priests, raised calls for President Arroyo’s resignation.
‘We’ll be watching’
In lieu of “inspirational remarks,” Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz led the protesters in shouting “Gloria resign!” several times.
Sister Mary John Mananzan, prioress of the OSB congregation in the Philippines and leader of the Association of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines, drew applause for warning politicians aspiring to replace Arroyo that “we will watch you closely, make no mistake about it.”
“We’ve had had enough so expect the people to take action when necessary,” said Mananzan, who noted she was the only female religious onstage.
A big number of new faces joined the rally. The Catholic Education Association of the Philippines (CEAP) mobilized about 10,000 students from member schools, colleges and universities.
Leading the CEAP marchers was a throng of about 500 seminarians bearing an image of the Our Lady of Fatima.
Students from rival schools Ateneo and De La Salle marched together, along with those from Don Bosco in Manila, Mandaluyong and Makati; Adamson University; Sta. Isabel College, and Poveda.
Voices, faces
Students from these schools waved placards and shouted slogans reflecting the calls of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines: “No to EO 464!,” and “Don’t suppress the truth!”
The newly formed student coalition Youth Act Now! mobilized about 5,000 students from UP Manila, UP Diliman, PUP, FEU, Technological Institute of the Philippines and other universities.
Youth Act Now! solicited photos from students and they were flashed on giant screens near the central stage. Student leader Vencer Crisostomo said it aimed “to show the voices and faces of people who demand the truth and accountability.”
Followers of Bro. Eddie Villanueva numbered about 10,000 and came mostly in yellow t-shirts, ribbons and caps.
Evil
Members of the Makati Business Club, led by executive director Alberto Lim, marched from the nearby Asian Institute of Management.
Faculty members of UP came in their “sablay,” the state university’s equivalent of the toga.
Also this time, the statue of slain senator Ninoy Aquino was not dressed up by flags. A placard was planted in his hands. “Gloria is evil,” it said.
Trade unionists from the Kilusang Mayo Uno carried hundreds of masks portraying the likeness of President Arroyo, but with horns, fangs and the word “evil.”
Latecomers include contingents from the Southern Tagalog region as well as two buses bearing students, faculty and administrators of De La Salle-Dasmariñas.
The Cavite-based La Sallians reported they were blocked at Daang Hari in Imus by a certain Col. Quilingen “for no apparent reason and without any traffic violation whatsoever” and were held for an hour before they were let go, according to La Sallian blogger Jhay Rocas.
Alphonse Rivera of the Salinlahi Alliance for Children’s Concerns said “Gloria stinks!” He led about 200 kids in a march that paraded a “roleta” (roulette) showing the various means to force out Arroyo from office: oust, resign, out or impeach.
Brisk sales
Also mobilizing but in smaller numbers were the Black and White Movement, Akbayan, Sanlakas and Laban ng Masa.
Vendors reported brisk sales of barbequed squid, mineral water and rally paraphernalia, especially t-shirts and pins bearing photos and quotations of star witness Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada.
Performers included The Wuds and The Jerks, and new rap artist Peter Parker who drum up interest among the predominantly youth crowd.
In a statement sent from his outpost in far-away Utrecht, The Netherlands, exiled Communist Party of the Philippines founding chair Jose Maria Sison said “the magnitude of the protest mass actions today (will) indicate how close is the end of the Arroyo regime.”
“If the level of 50,000 to 100,000 protest demonstrators is reached at the focal point in the national capital region, then we can hope that in the near future we can reach the level of hundreds of thousands or a million demonstrators that will certainly persuade the bureaucracy and the military to withdraw support from the Arroyo regime,” Sison said. – With Reuters
70,000 come for Truth! source: Malaya
Compared sa 15,000 ng PNP ni noRazon, saan nila dinala ang 55,000 na katao…na-forced disappearances din!
Ang Masbate City ay meron 30 delegation na sumakay ng eroplano kaya hindi naharang. heheh! Naisahan din ang mga guardia ni bitch!
Sa susunod ay sama na si chameleon inFidel katabi ni Mrs. Aquino at Erap. Tapos ay tatalon at bibigyan ng credit ang sarili na siya ang nag-iisang nagpabagsak kay Gloria. Bah! Hindi malayong mangyari ‘yan, kilala natin si inFidel!
Baka ibig sabihin ni General Razon: 15,000 tao -5,000 pulis= 10,000 rallista.
Konti na naman ang bilang ng mga mahihina sa Arithmetic at hindi pa yata marunong magbilang. Sinabi na ngang 80,000 more or less, pinipilit pang 15,000 lang daw. Inggit lang sila kasi maski yong crowd doon sa EDSA 2 did not reach that figure. Mas marami pa nga sana kundi hinarangan ng mga gunggong na ang daming katwiran kesyo baka may bomba daw, etc.
Meanwhile, bilib ka rin sa publicity stunt ni Evil Bitch. But one thing evident is natakot din siya na baka hilahin nga siyang palabas ng Malacanang by the hair at itali sa isang lamppost! Tapang-tapangan lang ang ungas!
Baba Na, Gaga! Baka tuluyan ka na nga ng mga kababayan mong matagal mo nang inuulol! Gloria Dorobo, RESIGN!!!
Sabi ni Razon wala daw silang hinaharang. Oh yeah! Pinapalabas pa niyang sinungaling iyong mga reporter ng radyo at TV na nag-report ng panghaharang nila? Gosh, tama si Leah Navarro nang sungangain niya ang mga sinungaling, who could lie under oath, na dapat mahiya sila sa mga anak nilang binibigyan nila ng masamang examples. Kung ama ko ang mokong na iyan, ikakahiya ko iyan! Thank God, hindi!
Kung dating mahigpit na checkpoint sa Calamba Laguna, sa Cabuyao naman ngayon. Tatlong grupo na may tig-sasampung tao at isang six by six ang nadaanan ng mga nagpunta sa rally. May TMO-Laguna, LTO Flying Squad na mga naka-motorsiklo, SAF na akala mo may giyera at isang trak na sundalo ang humaharang. Pahirapan lalo na kung jeepney ang sinakyan, lahat ng papeles hahanapin, Trip Ticket, lisensiya ng drayber, prangkisa, may interview pa!
Maraming kumuha ng video at litrato sa mga cellphone kaya hindi mahirap isupalpal sa muklha ni Razon yung kasinungalingan niya.
Nagkagulo yung mga estudyante ng Don Bosco kahapon, biruin mo ba naman, St. Scho. at Assumption magkakasama! First time yata sumama ng CEAP sa mass action, dati-rati neutral yan. Napuno yung grounds ng Don Bosco sa kanto ng Pasay Road at Pasong Tamo habang hinihintay yung oras para pumunta sa Ayala.
Yan, sinung may sabing hanggang iPod, Friendster at Playstation lang ang mga kabataan? Heto, maging High School, kasama na nating sumisigaw! Mabuhay ang Kabataan!
Yes, mabuhay ang mga kabataan! Iyan ang tunay na mga pag-asa ng kinabukasan—walang mga naging among dayuhan iyan at walanang US bases na nakikialam sa palakad ng bansa. So, more or less, iba ng kaunti sa takbo ng utak noong ipinaganak before and a little after WWII. Mukhang mas maganda ang simoy ng hangin sabi nga. Ang this evil regime is serving its purpose of galvanizing the Filipino resolve to be independent and free!
Nakakatindig talaga ng balahibong marinig ang kanilang panaghoy at makita ang umuusbong katatagan nitong mga kabataang ito. Hindi mga bayaran iyan ha!
BTW, Tongue, anong nangyari doon sa mga hinarang na UPLB students?
While Senate President Manuel Villar thinks he should not be joining opposition rallies because of the ongoing senate investigation on NBN/ZTE (contrary to the views of Senators Ping Lacson, Chiz Escudero and Noynoy Aquino), Rep. Cynthia Villar was in the rally.
Cynthia marched with Gina de Venecia, wife of Rep. Jose de Venecia, former Transportation Secretary Josie Lichauco and other members of the Concerned Citizens Group.
I remember during impeachment voting for Gloria…there’s this guy who said “wala na bang pipirma para sa katotohanan”… dapat siguro itanong din sa ating mga kababayan “Wala na bang sasama sa rally para sa katotohanan”.
Susan Roces spurns anti-GMA suitors
— I feel bad about this..the rally is for “truth”. Bakit siya aatras ngayon. Ang laban naman di nakukuha sa biglaan
she maybe frustrated because the last time she is pushing for Gloria oust medyo hindi nagbunga ng maganda. I feel she is just avoiding ERAP.
They should invite Ms Gina de venecia sa next hearing ng senate because she knows so many things against Gloria and FG.
The rally was a big success! We made our statement! Kung di pa naharang ang ibang papunta, we would have easily reached the 100,000 mark!
Sana lang yung mga B & W and other civil society groups di na tumira ng ibang mga personalities o grupo na sumama kahapon. Di naman maganda na ipakita na ayaw natin sa mga taong di natin matanggap publicly. What we need now is a solid unified stance. What is important is that we were shouting with one voice in yesterdays rally!
We do not need intramurals at this time. Si Evil Bitch lang ang makikinabang.
Over-all, the Filipino people have spoken!

Elvie: While Senate President Manuel Villar thinks he should not be joining opposition rallies because of the ongoing senate investigation on NBN/ZTE
*****
Legalistically speaking, Elvie, tama si Villar. It can be construed as “conflict of interest” dahil siya ang pinuno sa Senate. He has to play neutral para hindi sabihin hindi fair ang imbestigasyon nila.
Meanwhile, iyong hindi pagpapapunta ni Gloria Dorobo sa mga dapat na imbestigahan should be taken as proof of guilt. Dapat iniisip na nilang ipa-aresto iyan. Unbelievable na walang batas to make it possible to strip the fake president of her right to abuse and be above the law!!!
At least, si Villar, though not a lawyer, is trying to be legalistic or do things according to existing criminal procedures.
Since they are dealing with a criminal though, I guess it is just right for Lacson, Escudero and Noynoy Aquino to attend the rallies. At least, kung nandoon sila, siguro naman matatakot ang mga pulis ni Gloria Dorobo na gawan sila ng kalokohan kahit na in some cases, kapal ng mukha ng mga ungas na magsinungaling even with proofs of misdeeds caught on video ng mga TV networks at cellphones ng mga hina-harrass nila.
Salamat kay Mayor Lim for the back-up given to Mayor Binay. At least, behave iyong mga pulis within the vicinity of the rally center. Marami pa ang bata niya sa Manila Police, I am sure.
Sa Black & White movement, tanggapin na dapat na ang Edsa Dos ay isang pagkakamali. Maging si Archbishop Lagdameo na mismo ang nagsabi. Di maganda ang holier than thou attitude niyo minsan at nakaka turn off. Lahat naman ng naging Presidente eh may pagkukulang din, kahit si Santa Cory, wag nating kalimutan na ang kamag-anak incorporated niya ay nagsamantala rin. Kaya, ibig sabihin, patas lang sila ni Erap. Kay Erap naman, nagpakasasa ang mga barkada tulad ni Atong Ang at Chavit na mga naging traydor din sa huli.
Ano man ang naging kasalanan ni Erap, tignan din natin ang kabutihan ng mama. Siya lang, take note, siya lang ang Presidente na di pumirma ng kontrata na may sovereign guarantee. Ibig sabihin, siya lang ang hindi nag isip na pumasok sa kontrata na igigisa sa sariling mantika ang taumbayan. Lahat ng naging pangulo pumirma lalo na iyan si FVR na hanggang ngayon pinagbabayaran pa natin ang mga inutang nang dahil sa independent power producers.
Let us just give credit where it is due.
Mas higit na kinakailangan ng pagkakaisa ngayon kaysa sa paninira sa ibang grupo in public. Si Evilbitch lang ang matutuwa niyan!
Wala na sigurong hihigit pa sa kawalang hiyaan ng Arroyo family! Kaya dapat kumilos na at makialan na! Sabi nga ng mga tiga Black and white, “Now Na!” o diba, sosy?
Peace!!!
Padami na ng padami ang nakakapasok sa Makati to join the rally. Next time, iyong nasa checkpoints na mga sundalo at pulis, for sure, makakabayag na at baka kasama na rin sa martsa! Just you wayt, guys!

Yesterday, I met Parasamasarap(PSM), Mami Noodles and Shivarn. Kawawa si PSM, he lost his cellphone to a pickpocket while trying to get near Jun Lozada. Hindi na kami nagkita ni Schumey, sa dami ng tao.
nakakaiyak. nakakatuwa. nakakabagbag ng damdaming makita/mapanood ang samasamang pagkakapit kamay ng taongbayang nagmula sa magkakaibang antas ng buhay upang maipakita ang pagkakaisa sa pagsugpo at pagban sa isang manhid at walang karapatang mamunong administrasyon.
ilang araw pang patuloy ang ganito, mapipilitang lumayas sa malakanyang ang pamilyang kampon ng demonyo at kanilang kapanalig na mga lamanlupa.
mabuhay ang sambayanang pilipino!
humayo kayo, mga kabataang pag-asa ng inang bansa
iparinig ang inyong tinig ipanawagan yaong tama
huwag ng hayaang magtampisaw sa katiwalian ang timawa
ang ganid na walang budhi sa pagyurak ay walang sawa
sa dangal na para sa inyong magtatanggol sa bandila.
ilang singkad na taon ng sa kasinungalinga’y nagtatago
sa pagbuka niyong bibig alingasaw ay sakdal baho
pagkat kabulukan ang nilalaman ng damdamin niya’t puso
kahit katiting na karangalan kahalintulad niya’y tanso
binabalot ng balatkayong makinang na parang ginto.
ang ngayon ay pakikibakang alang alang sa inyong bukas
pagkat sa inyong mga kamay nakasalalay ang pag-unlad
ng buhay ninyong malaon nang niyurakan niyong sukab
sa pakunwaring pagsisikhay pagbabata nitong hirap
ngunit ang tinatanim ay kumunoy at mga bitag.
wakasan na at tapusin ikintal na itong hatol
lagutin na ang tanikala ng hirap at pagkagutom
pagdurusa ay tuldukan na’t karangala’y gawing hamon
sa paghango sa inang bayang walang awang ginugumon
sa burak ng kahihiyang kay laon nang kinulapol!
expat-pinoy,
paano nga ba?
huwag kang manggalaite diyan. kung meron kang naiisip na solusyon at paraan upang manumbalik ang kaayusan at tunay na pagsisilbing bayan ng mga ilalagay sa poder ay sabihin mo na.
kung wala naman, puwede ba, MATULOG KA NA LANG?
eh wala naman pala kayo maisip na paraan mga magigiting na kapilipino ko eh. gawin na lang ay 1:1 para mamatay talaga ang UGAT ng kurakato.
Eh wala naman pala kayo maisip na paraan mga magigiting na kapilipino ko. Gawin na lang siguro ay 1:1 para mamatay ang talaga ang UGAT na kurakutan sa Pilipinas.
expat-pinoy, jerz, at iba pang mga pakawala ng evilbitch:
Kawawa naman kayo! Siguro mamatay-matay na kayo sa inggit sa dami at laki ng rally kontra sa demonyitang si GMA!
Tama na ang sipsip niyo, kolektahin niyo na ang bayad niyo kay Evil Bitch!
At isa pa, sayang ang mga comments niyo dahil walang nagbabasa sa mga sinusulat niyo!
Hahahaha puro kayo hinala..lang. Bakit ako maiingit sa Rally na yan? Eh ang natutuwa lang naman sa inyo yung ibang pulitiko na naghahangad sa pwest sa malakanyang. Ang hirap sa inyo basta hindi pabor na magpagamit sa mga nahahangad sa pwesto sa malakanyang..sasabihin nyo ng bayaran. Lumang style na kasi yan..napanood ko na sa pelikula yan..wala bang bago? Kung palitan kaya ang sigaw pag nagrarally..ganito na lang. TAMAN NA! SOBRA NA! PATAYIN ang UGAT ng KURAKOT!

The rally was awesome ! What a feeling !
sobra na! tama na!
ispreyan na ang SUROT!
Expat Pinoy, please don’t use all caps in your comments. Lower case lang just like what everybody else here use.
That’s for easy reading.
Statement of Sen. Kiko Pangilinan:
I agree with you on this, Andres: “Sana lang yung mga B & W and other civil society groups di na tumira ng ibang mga personalities o grupo na sumama kahapon. Di naman maganda na ipakita na ayaw natin sa mga taong di natin matanggap publicly. What we need now is a solid unified stance. What is important is that we were shouting with one voice in yesterdays rally!”
That’s why I’m disgusted that this Boy saycon said on TV that civil society walked out when Erap spoke? That’s a lie. There was no walkout.
People and that include “civil society” personalities (btw, ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng civil society?) were there long after Estrada left. Ang daming tao up to the end.
Ano ba ito si Saycon? Ahente ni Gloria sa oposisyon?
Huwag ninyo nang pansinin ang mga pakawala ni Gloria Dorobo. Kilala naman sila as a matter of fact. What is important, walang nagbibida-bida sa rally ngayon. Lahat ng kasali, masaya. Na-achieve ang goal to gather as many people as those who can get throgh the checkpoints!!! Umpisa pa lang iyan. There are more to come. Tama na ang sourgraping ng mga ungas! Alam naman nilang it is just a matter of days bagsak na si Gloria. Sa palagay ko naman wala nang naniniwala sa mga pakawala ni Gloria.
Kaniya-kaniya diskarte, basta isa lang ang goal—truth and removal of the kapalmuks. Isipin na kung papaano igugudgod sa semento ang mukhan niya. Kunsumihin na! Nakakamatay din ang kunsumisyon sa totoo lang!
Almost all sectors have spoken and called for GMA’s resignation except of course the military that’s in cahoot with Malacanang. And while many religious groups have also spoken, we still have to hear from Iglesia Ni Cristo. El Shaddai has recently manifested its support for Gloria after a long silence. What about INC? People are waiting for INC’s position on this matter.
Inggit lang siguro si Saycon kasi hindi pinagsalita! Bwahahahaha! Sinabi na ngang puro bata lang ang papagsalitain kaya nga hiyang-hiya si Cory dahil akala niya mga bata lang ang magsasalita doon, but it was wisdom an pinagsalita sila ni Erap. Very meaningful to refute allegation by the Dorobos kabayaran that Filipinos cannot unite. Si Cory represented the haves and Erap the havenots even when Erap in fact is not poor, materially speaking. We saw them bury the hatchet. If that is not reconciliation and unity enough, what is?
Honestly, I was glad to see Erap and Cory on the same stage. However, I think they should not have been there on the stage since it was supposed to be an inter-faith rally. It should be the religious leaders who were on the stage, not political figures. That’s my sincere and honest take on this thing.
Trying hard talaga si Gloria Dorobo na huwag umalis. Now, she has mobilized her demolition squad to undermine the impact of the rally last Friday, and trying hard to plant the usual devilish seed of discord among the organizers of the rally. Hopefully, hindi sila ganoong kakitid! Insulto di hamak sa mentality ng mga pilipino ang ginagawa ng animal na iyan. Talaga namang demonya!!!
Pareng Expat-pinoy, ayos ba tayo diyan? Ang lakas ng dating mo, magkano ba ang atin at ng maasyos na ang tono ng mga NOTA para naman maging productive sa mga namamasyal dito sa Ellenville garden.
Andito lang kami at willing to cooperate basta ba ang kalakaran eh para sa ikabubuti ng ating Inang Bayan, kasi nga kung wala rin lang pupuntahan ang ating mga pag-uusap eh sayang lang ang oras na iyuukol natin dito.
Ano ba talaga ang gusto mong mangyari sa kasalukuyang krisis pang pulitika sa ating bansa at ang sobrang kurapsyon kaliwa’t kanan ang pinaggagagawa nila.
Eh okey lang ba sa iyo ang mga nangyayari na ito sa ating bansa o baka naman mayroong kang magandang solusyon para dito. Tell us, we are willing to listen and ready to hear your side?
Mahirap kasi kung puro patutsada ang diskarte dito sa E-cyberblog dahil marami ang naghahanap ng tamang solusyon dahil hard headed itong si GMA and cohorts.
Ayaw bumaba sa pwesto, so ano sa inaakala mo ang magandang paraan para malutas na ang problemang ito, 8-years na siyang nagpapasasa sa kapangyarihan at alam mo naman ang lahat ng mga pangyayari at lagim na kanilang pinaggagagawa.
Di sa tiktik tabloid yan mababasa ha at lalo na sa mga PRO-Pidalismo newspapers sapagka’t bayad na sila ng PISO.
Please tell us the truth of this unresolve Pidalismo standoff?
RE: Honestly, I was glad to see Erap and Cory on the same stage.
Kgg. bitchevil,
Nagpapatunay lamang na si Pres. Erap eh mayroong mababang kalooban, at nawika naman niya na pinatawad na niya ang mga nagkasala sa kanya noong 2001, so He is a fully man of dignity and honor sapagka’t ikaw ba naman ang maging AMA ng MASANG PILIPINO!
Remember, Apostle Peter, Mary Magdalene, Apostle Paul mayroon din sila kahinaan bilang tao but GOD chosed them para sa sangkatauhan, i may right bro.!
Hon. Erap magic still alive and kicking, kaya lalo siyang minahal ng Masang Pilipino di ba! Iyong mga kontra-fellow nating Pinoy eh bahala sila sa kanilang buhay bakit ka mo, may kasabihan tayo na you can not please everybody.
Kahit nga si Lord eh ang naghudas yong pang right-hand man niya di ba, so si Pres. ERAP pa na inamin naman niya ang kahinaan ng laman.
Ang pinag-uusapan dito eh marunong tumanggap ng pagkakamali ang isang tao at handang magbago sa kaniyang buhay.
Change comes SLOWLY BUT SURELY
One of the few rallies I have attended and would say that it was a success! No Fly Zone was declared in order for the whole nation not to see the number of people who were there! Lo and Behold! The populace may not have seen the aerial view, but they sure heard the common goal of the Nation!… Katotohanan, Karangalan, Gloria Alis Na!
Checkpoints were set up to harass and drive away the would be attendees, some made their way, unfortunately a lot more failed to be there physically, but they were there spiritually!
Razon, anong rason mo naman this time? After kidnapping Jun Lozada on February 05, harassing the rallyist naman! Don’t even think of saying that you did not connive with Atienza, on orders of others to have Jun kidnapped and silenced! Razon, it’s a pity that you have let yourself be used and your name dragged into the mud. I would assume that you have no idea what the Jun Lozada episode is all about, until it was dropped into your lap on Feb. 05! Come clean and the nation may still redeem your lost soul! Continue with your lies, you’ll only find yourself deeper into the quagmire!
It was a beautiful Rally. Well-organized and Mayor Binay and his Team deserves the credit for an excellent crowd control!
See you on the next one!
No Fly Zone should have been limited to people like Neri. Neri has no Fly…
Gabriela,
Si Boy Saycon ay isang anay sa lipunan! Nabubuhay at pumapapel tuwing may ganitong sitwasyon. Noong Edsa Dos ang ingay niya at sinisiraan si Pangulong Erap, siguro inisip niya na pag mapatalsik si Erap baka mabigyan siya ng pwesto.
Nang mapatalsik si Erap, naupo si Evil Bitch nguni’t di nabigyan ng magandang pwesto si Saycon kaya ayon ng Hello Garci scandal nagpuputak nanaman! Pansinin niyo ang mukha at katawan, bilog na bilog, parang isang garapatang sumisipsip ng dugo!
Laking gulat ko na lang na bigla na siyang sumama sa grupo ng KME nina Jimmy Regalario at mga obispo. Palibhasa manipis ang organisasyon niya kaya dumidikit na lang sa iba.
Si Boy Saycon ay isang anay sa lipunan at walang liderato!
Ang di ko maintindihan sa black and white na yan nagagalit sila kay Erap eh di naman kasalan ng tao na tinawag siya sa stage. Kung inyong mapapansin halatang walang prepared statement ang mama. Ni walang dalawang minuto nagsalita at sinundan lang ang linya ni santa Cory.
Yang black and white para ding si Boy Saycon ata eh! Nabubuhay pag may mga ganitong sitwasyon. Ni wala sigurong isang daan ang contingent sa Ayala kahapon tapos ang yayabang magsalita.
Si Leah Navarro at Enteng Romano lang ang miyembro niyan hatak ang Hyatt 10.
Mga kaibigan, hindi natin kailangan ng mga self-righteous sa ganitong panahon, ang kailangan pagkakaisa!
Sa Black and White:
Kagaya ba kayo ng mga pinoy na may crab mentality? Di niyo matanggap si Erap, na isang bobo, isang dropout, isang artista, nguni’t naging Pangulo? Naiinggit siguro kayo dahil ang nasa isip niyo na kayo ang may pinag aralan, may breeding at may karapatan, kaya lang nalagpasan kayo ng isang Erap?
Diba totoo?
Parang si Cardinal Sin, from day one, di matanggap na ang masa hindi siya sinunod, at si Erap ang iniluklok.
Di niyo matanggap ang mama dahil di niyo kauri pero nalagpasan kayo!!!
Pumapapel pa si Kiko. I guess nobody asked for his statement or opinion nevertheless he issued one for just one purpose: to get some attention.
Filipinos maybe have a short memory, easy to forgive and forget but what Mr Pangilinan “noted” during the 2004 elections reamained fresh in their memories. He will always be remembered in his role as one of the author of the biggest political scandal in Philippine history. He is one of the biggest contributor to the mess and problems of Philippine society. Yes he was one of the gloria boys who conspired to steal the election from a legitimate winner and made possible the proclamation of an evil bitch to the presidency. And now he wants to show and wants us to believe that he is against the one he helped proclaimed without even issuing an apology and asking forgiveness from the Filipino people he helped cheated.
Maybe Kiko believes that he is well-liked by the people that’s why he is winning in elections. Somebody should knock the head of this guy and made him realize that he will never win even as barangay councilman if not because of his wife which he used as a political ladder to reach where he is now. Rumours has it that he is aspiring and aiming for a much higher post which is completely a different level of playing field. It is a field where the shots are direct hits. Maybe he is so self-confident because of Sharon, but, when he becomes an open target especially on his “noted” role, things will come out differently. Maybe that’s the time that he will wake up to reality.
No Fly Zone sa Makati? Kung sakaling may naligaw baka pabagsakin ng surface to air missile gawang diesel fuel at methane gas (Glorietta-2 fart missile). Si General Razon palaging wala s rason mula naging Pulis Ni Pidal(PNP) chief.
There are three kinds of truth. One is some people’s truth that led them falsely to the ouster of Estrada. The other truth is the one the Gloria minions ask for with evidences that hold water in the ‘proper’ fora. Senate is a non-forum, not respected. The third is the a priori truth of the CBCP that should not have existed in the first place.
Tita Ellen,
It was an honor meeting you last Friday.
Malinawanag na kahit sino pa umupo sa malakanyang tiyak may kurakutan..dahil nga di naman nawawala yung tunay na ugat ng kurakot. Ano pa gagawin eh di Patayin ang UGAT ng kurakot. Yan ang problema talaga…yung UGAT.
Ang ugat ng kurakot ay ang Arroyo family! They should be persecuted!!!
Si Kiko Pangilinan, pagkakatiwalaan pa ba yan? Eh yung kasalanan niya noong 2004, panay noted ang sinabi noong nagpoprotesta ang mga opposition sa pagproklama kay Evil Bitch diba? Kakampi niya sa Bitchy Evil, ngayon tumitira para maging popular. Kaya lang nanalo si Kiko dahil sa asawang si Megastar!
Wag dapat magtiwala kay Kiko, sinipa nga sa Upsilon sa U.P. dahil tinraydor niya ang samahan. Ibig sabihin, maysa traydor din ang mamang ito!
Florry,
We should make people aware of the kind of person Kiko Pangilinan is! Kiko is for Kiko, sarili lang niya ang iniisip at hindi ang bayan! Kawawa naman si Megastar, nagpapagamit sa asawa niyang pulpol!
Without offense to all Capampangan, it looks like many of these cabalens are traitors and cannot be trusted. For your info, Kiko Pangilinan is also a Capampangan and so is Abalos.
Nakakalungkot naman na karamihan sa atin ay nagpapadala sa mga damdamin. Nakakalungkot din makita na what was supposed to have been a PRAYER RALLY did not really turn out that way. Sabi na nga ba …. yung mga naghahangad ng pwesto at gusto rin mangurakot ay magsasalita. Tsk tsk …. lumabas din ang ang political agenda ng ibang politicians. Di talaga mapigilan at kailangan nila mabawi ang kanilang election investment. Kung talagang PRAYER RALLY ito, bibilib na sana ako.
Lumabas din ang tunay na motibo at layunin ng supposedly PRAYER RALLY. Lumabas din ang tunay na layunin ng mga organizers nito. Ipinakita na naman sa natin kung sinu-sino ang gumagamit ng kapwa para maabot ang kanilang pang-sariling layunin. At ipinakita na naman na karamihan sa atin ay walang humpay na NAG-PAGAMIT na naman sa mga politiko.
Down with graft and corruption! …. kasama dyan ang ilang mga nakaluklok ngayon at mukhang mas maraming politiko na nag-nanais na sila naman ang magkaroon ng kapangyarihan para sila na naman ang maka-kurakot! Ay, naku … Pinoy ….magising ka sana at huwag na magpagamit sa iba!
hanga ako balweg sa mga sinasabi mo totoo yan si pres. erap lang yata ang alam kong pulitiko hindi nagtatanim ng galit ng kahit sino pa man kasi totoong tao yan
