One out of ten Filipinos (14% believe that she will be truthful in her State of the Nation address on Monday. A huge majority either outrightly expects her to be lying again (40%) or unsure whether she will be truthful or not (46%), the latest Pulse Asia survey showed.
Pulse Asia said,”Past patterns of public skepticism as well as outright disbelief regarding the truthfulness of President Arroyo’s SONAs carry over into present times. Nationwide, in relation to the truthfulness of the forthcoming SONA this July 2008, a large plurality (46%) is unable to anticipate whether this coming SONA is going to be truthful or not; a smaller but nevertheless still significantly large proportion (40%) of respondents nationwide expects it to be untruthful. As in previous Arroyo SONAs, only a rather small number of respondents (14%) believes truthfulness will attend the next Arroyo SONA.”

SONAs for a Public Grown Skeptical
Much public awareness attends President Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) as six out of 10 Filipinos surveyed say they have heard or read about her previous SONAs. This level of public awareness has remained basically the same since 2005, the year Pulse Asia started monitoring the public’s sense of SONAs.
• Majority awareness is currently highest among those in Metro Manila (83%) and the best-off socioeconomic class ABC (87%). Smaller majorities (54% to 64%) are registered by those affirming SONA awareness in the other geographic areas surveyed and socioeconomic class D. The poorest respondents (Class E, 48% aware) barely miss being a majority of those aware.
• Majority awareness links positively and is significantly higher (70% to 83%) among survey respondents from urban areas, those with higher education and those employed in government.
• Except for the oldest respondents (65 years old and above, 50% aware), mostly marginal differences in awareness exist among age cohorts and gender groups. (See Table 1).
Much skepticism is expressed as regards the truthfulness of President Macapagal-Arroyo’s previous SONAs. Among those aware of the Arroyo SONAs, a big plurality (46%) nationwide believes these SONAs had not been truthful, with another almost equally large number (41%) being undecided as regards their truthfulness; a rather small proportion (13%) disagrees with the plurality view and see truthfulness as characteristic of President Arroyo’s past SONAs.
• Mindanao registers a small majority (53%) saying the past Arroyo SONAs had been untruthful. This critical view is shared by fairly large pluralities (44% to 49%) from the other geographic areas surveyed and across all socioeconomic classes.
• The view that the past Arroyo SONAs had been untruthful is most apparent among respondents from the close to poor Class D (46%) and the poorest Class E (49%), those who are 65 years old and above (53%) and those living in urban localities (50%); significantly lower levels of the same mindset are encountered among the youngest, 18 to 24 year-old, respondents (33%) and those who completed college (38%); rural Luzon (34%) and urban Visayas (33%) also have remarkably lower proportions of those saying Arroyo’s past SONAs had been untruthful.
• Those who say they cannot decide whether these past Arroyo SONAs had been truthful or untruthful comprise a remarkably large proportion of respondents, ranging from a low of 25 % (urban Mindanao) and a high of 51% in rural Luzon). Rural respondents (46%) have a significantly higher level of indecision compared to those from urban areas (37%). A similar observation may be noted of the better-off Class ABC (42%) relative to the poorest Class E (36%). The youngest respondents, 18 to 24 years old (49%), those with some but had not completed college (47%) and those coming from the Visayas (47%) are the most vacillating in assessing the truthfulness of past Arroyo SONAs.
• As for respondents predicating truth of these SONAs, the most favorable raters from urban Visayas (21%), those who have completed college (20%), those working at government jobs (19%), the better-off Class ABC (17%) and the youngest, 18 to 24 year-old age group (17%). The least inclined to associate truthfulness with past Arroyo SONAs are those with at best some high school education (7%) and respondents from urban Luzon (8%).
• Gender does not make for more than marginal differences whether one considers those who believe the past SONAs had been truthful, untruthful or difficult to call one way or the other. (See Table 2).
Past patterns of public skepticism as well as outright disbelief regarding the truthfulness of President Arroyo’s SONAs carry over into present times. Nationwide, in relation to the truthfulness of the forthcoming SONA this July 2008, a large plurality (46%) is unable to anticipate whether this coming SONA is going to be truthful or not; a smaller but nevertheless still significantly large proportion (40%) of respondents nationwide expects it to be untruthful. As in previous Arroyo SONAs, only a rather small number of respondents (14%) believes truthfulness will attend the next Arroyo SONA.
• Among those expecting truth to be served by the coming SONA of President Arroyo, the most hopeful are respondents from urban Visayas (23%) while the least hopeful are those from urban Luzon (7%). Most of the other variables (e.g. urban/rural location, socioeconomic class, gender, age grouping and educational attainment) record only marginally significant values for those who believe the next SONA will be truthful.
• As for those who vacillate in their assessment of the forthcoming SONA’s truthfulness, one may note markedly higher proportions of undecided respondents in Balance Luzon whereas the opposite condition – much lower levels of indecision — may be found in Mindanao. A mild class effect may be discerned, with better-off Class ABC (49%) registering slightly higher levels of indecision relative to the poorest Class E (43%), Indecision is markedly higher among the youngest, 18 to 24-year-old age group (60%), those with some years of college (55%) and the self employed (53%).
• Among those expecting the next Arroyo SONA to be untruthful, the most convinced are clearly respondents from Mindanao (50%); on the other hand, noticeably fewer respondents have the same expectation among the youngest, 18 to 24-year-old age group (26%), those coming from the urban areas of the Visayas (28%) as well as the rural areas of Luzon (34%) and, finally, those who have some college (33%) or actually finished college (34%). (See Table 3).
Over time (from July 2005 to July 2008), public awareness for SONAs delivered by President Arroyo has remained fairly constant (around 60% nationwide). The perception of truthfulness for her past SONAs has suffered attrition which is critical precisely because only a relatively small number of people (at best 18% in July 2005, now down to 13% in July 2008) hold this positive view.
• A marked, double-digit reduction in public vacillation between July 2007 and July 2008 (from 52% to 41%) did not do President Arroyo much good as many among the undecided public apparently resolved their doubts in favor of a more negative assessment of her past Sonas , i.e. among those aware of her past Sonas, those judging them to be untruthful increased from 32% in July 2007 to 46% in July 2008. (See Table 4).
Past public skepticism regarding President Arroyo’s SONAs appears to have become stronger and now makes it difficult for her to maximize her forthcoming SONA’s political value.
• The current level of public indecision regarding the possible truthfulness of her next SONA represents a drop of 9 percentage points (from 55% in July 2007 to 46% in July 2008)
• Alongside the decrease in public indecision is an 11-point increase in the proportion of people anticipating that her July 2008 SONA is not going to be truthful. This suggests that much public vacillation regarding the truthfulness of President Arroyo next SONA ’s has been effectively resolved by the public and, unfortunately for the president, this public resolution is adverse to her interest.
• There is not much comfort that can be situated in the currently low proportion of people (14%) who still believe that her SONA this year will be a truthful one. The low proportion of believers in her SONA’s truthfulness has not grown in the past three years and cannot possibly represent much political capital for her and her administration.
Unfortunately, we don’t have to believe her, just allow her to continue her shenanigans, its easy…do nothing…she still gets what she and her cabal wants…
Here’s a quote applicable to the dorobo government: For what is the crime of burglarizing a bank, compared with the crime of building one?” –Bertolt Brecht
It’s not near total collapse. It has long collapsed !
Whore Gloria, queen of the thieves has no credibility -period. As I see it, her coming SONA (Spineless Ogre Nauseous Arroyo) is just a total waste of time and tax payers money. SONA is all about whore Gloria’s lies and promises only to pacify the nation, just like all the previous years, and so why even bother. Hopefully, lightning will strike directly above her head (if we are so lucky) when she started opening her lying mouth. And, justice shall be done. Whore Gloria is nothing but a thief and won’t give her the time of the day listening to all her lies.
Yes, Gloria has long collapsed and yet the opposition does nothing but wait and wish for 2010! Nagbabaka-sakali na tumupad si Gloria na tatapusin lang ang iligal na termino. Fools!
I’m disappointed with many of the oppositionists kuno who expressed willingness to attend and hear Gloria’s lies at SONA. Only Jinggoy, Ping and Pimentel said they gonna boycott her Kasinungalingan. Of course, not to mention jailed Senator Trillanes.
Makita ko lang ang picture ni Gloria ay nakakasuka na, iyon pa kayang marinig ang kanyang ipit na boses na magkakalat na naman ng toxic!
(99% Based on Actual Quotes of Gloria’s Speeches)
Gloria’s sona(state of the nation address)…hopefully
On may 1 2001, the poor raised their voices in anger and their fists in fury. imprisoned in poverty, shackled to shame, denied justice in society, they personally delivered the message that, 100 years after they revolted to establish this nation, they had yet to partake of the national dream.
Dinig na dinig ko ang pahayag nila, at napakumbaba ako. hindi ba’t nasa balikat ko ang tungkuling mamuno sa pakikibaka laban sa salot ng kahirapan? ako na siyang anak ng tinawag na “poor boy from lubao”?
We have failed our people!
When we put ourselves above country and profit above fairness;
When we think the worst of those with whom we should be working for the common good.
Indeed, when we make politics replace patriotism in our country’s hour of need.
That said ,let me tell you how i personally feel.
I recognized my lapses in judgment all these seven years.
I am sorry.
I also regret taking so long to speak before you on this matter.
I take full responsibility for my actions and to you and to all those good citizens who may have had their faith shaken by my actions.
I want to assure you that i have redouble my efforts to serve the nation and regain your trust again.
Mabuhay ang pilipinas!
Ellen,
The headline says: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080725-150539/Pulse-Asia-Only-1-in-10-believes-Arroyo-SONAs-are-true – ONLY 1 in 10 Believes Arroyo SONA are true.
Yong 1 – sya lang yon. 🙂
Para marami ang makinig sa tv & internet, dapat isabay ang SONA sa laban ni Pakyaw or isingit between rounds. Walang makinig niyan dito sa North America. Marami ang hindi magsasayang ng panahon para makinig ng SONA ni Gloria.
Equalizer, please take note that I changed the case of your comments to sentence case. Please avoid all caps because it does not make for easy reading. Thanks.
I will not listen/view the SONA. One has to be a masochist to endure listening to all those lies for some 40 minutes.
I’ll just read it later in the papers. Reading it will not subject me to watching all those contortions of face, eyes, and guttural noises.

Speaking of credibility, the senators have lost theirs too in my book.
I cannot for the life of me comprehend how Recto’s appointment as NEDA chief is received with positive statements from the senators..
And this Joker. He practically calls Recto as the savior of the economy because he was the author of the VAT.
This is a heroic act? Taxing the people? All because Gloria’s administration couldn’t collect the taxes due? All because 40% of taxes collected were squirreled, no, shoveled down bottomless insatiable pockets of corruption?
Instead of focusing on collecting taxes, focus on increasing taxes? And you get to be called a hero?
My dear Senators, your credibility will soon be near total collapse, too.
Re: Near total collapse of credibility for Arroyo
It should be pulverized credibility for Arroyo. Nobody believes her anymore. It’s a waste of time listening her lies and fantastic goals- First World status in 20 years, eradication of poverty, self-sufficient in rice production in 2010, 10 million jobs in six years, etc. Puro pangako lang.
Inquirer reports, “‘Walang bolahan itong magiging SONA ni Presidente [There will be no frills in this year’s SONA of the President]. We will confront the situation and we will lay down plans on how she intends to address them,” he said in a news conference.”
Oh, yeah? So, are they admitting now that from 2001 till now, the bolera has fed Filipinos only with “boladas” in her SONAs. Kapaaaaaaal din ano? So what’s the guaranty that she will not tell them another pack of lies? Gago din ano?
There is this report likewise in Inquirer, “The charges against Romualdez, for violating Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practice Act, stemmed from his appointment as ambassador while he was incumbent governor of Leyte province, and receiving compensation for both positions.”
Now, this is something. Neri apparently can be charged too for holding two positions and getting paid for both positions as SSS head and cabinet secretary of the dorobo. Bakit hindi iyan kasuhan din when he assumes his new appointments.
If the said Republic Act is applicable to Kokoy Romualdez, it should be applicable likewise to Neri especially if he is being appointed by someone suspected of rigging the election in 2004 to legitimize her stolen position.
Pakyaw is Gloria’s main prop in her SANA in response to “no tv/radio/electronics” boycott of her lies.
Hoy, Pakyaw, gising na! Ang friend Gloria mo ay puro nana na sa kabulukan!
Parepareho lahat ang mga politiko, kasama din ang mga senatong. Nagtatakipan din sila sa isat isa, basta importante masaya sila lahat.
Ang daling maloko ng mga pinoys. Katulad na lang ni Cayetano, nahan na ang Arroyo german bank issue na inilabas niya before the senatorial election. Inuto niya lamang ang mga pinoys para maging senator ==USER…
Joker calling VATman Recto a hero for saving the (Gloria’s) economy… Agree, pinalobo ni VATman ang ‘private’ economy ni Gloria.
Joker is now Vatman’s sidekick.
Chi,
Sabi ng mga spokesperson ni Dorobo, hindi na raw siya mambobola. Kapal din ano na aminin na up until now, nanloloko siya! Bwahahahahaha! Sige pa manloko pa sila hangga’t nakakatiis pa ang mga pilipino! 😛

Hinding hindi makakalusot sa aking pamunuan ang chacha
Ginawa kong maibaba ang mga buwis ng mga minimum wage earner

hindi naman nang bobola si Gloria..nang luloko! hindi siya bolera..siya ang bola (tingnan ninyo ang mukha at katawan) kaya dapat siyang sipain..let’s play ball.. siya ag bola at tayo ang sisipa..
Korek, hind nambobola si Gloria kundi nanggagago ng madlang pipol.
sana gumawa ng mga maliliit na “gloria” effigy at sabay sabay na sunogin sa Lunes kasama noong malaki..a bonfire of gloria’s effigy…burn her! and let the world know..how the people really feel about her…sabayan ng sunog gloria ang kanyang SONA.
Five Questions for Gloria regarding her 2008 SONA
Answer please,President Gloria Arroyo:
1)Better Philippines: You say that you want to leave a “better Philippines” as your legacy to the Filipino people and to your successor.Is the Philippines any better now than 7 years ago when you assumed power? What can you do in the remaining two years of your term?
2) 2010 Plans:Your palace apologists claim that you will definitely bow out of office by 2010.Why are you rushing the merger of the Lakas and Kampi parties into a “Super Party”? Why are there hasty preparations for another Charter Change Move? Do you plan a “repeat” of your past move when you reneged on your Rizal Day promise not to run in the 2004 elections?
3)RICE: In your first SONA speech in 2001,you promised to attain rice sufficiency via the modernization of rice production in the country. Why is the Philippines now the world’s largest rice importer despite being the home to the IRRI?
4)Abu Sayaf:In your 2002 SONA,you proudly proclaimed “I led our soldiers in defeating the Abu Sayaf!” Compared with when you assumed office, are we more safe or less safe in Mindanao? What was the group that recently kidnapped Ces Drilon and her ABS-CBN news team?
5) Corruption:In 2004 you declared that your administration was at war with corruption and you have made lifestyle checks a lethal weapon,and adopted procurement reforms to take the fight forward.If so,why was the ZTE-NBN deal approved without any bidding at all?What lessons do you draw from the botched ZTE deal?
EQ:
Sagot niya sa iyo via her apologists—Walang bola ang SONA niya. So far, puro bola pero ngayon wala na kasi wala nang maisip na ipambola sa mga pilipino! Naimbento na yata lahat at kung may naniniwala pa sa bola niya, kaunti na lang as proven by the SWS, etc surveys!!! Tindi di ba?
How true is the rumor that the garutay has invited Manny Pacquiao to attend the SONA as he is going to be used as prop for the garutay’s 2008 fantasy show? Every year, may pakulo si ungas. Problem is may kumakagat pa ba? Pati iyong NAIA 3 na sinekwat sa nga aleman mukhang gagawing prop din at gauge ng progreso daw ng Pilipinas under her reign. Grabe ang hallucination ng ungas!
Bakit hindi na lang ipasok sa Mandaluyong ang garutay na iyan?
The Equalizer,
Excellent points. Gloria u-nana won’t answer and have no answers, naboldyak mo kasi!
Total Collapse? Ang tagal na nag collapse ng credibility ni Arroyo. Come to think of it, one out of ten Filipinos do not believe her SONA promises, ano pa ba ang gusto sabihin niyan? Para itong laban ni Fuck-yao vs. the game but battered David Diaz, na matapos siya ma knockout after failing to beat the count of 10, eh, sasabihin na “kaya ko pa naman lumaban.” But Diaz has the decency and the humility to accept defeat. Si Arroyo? Hindi yata niya alam na unano siya…
Ano kaya ang terno ni Nerissa sa SONA ng presidente niya?
Of course, si Loren sinta ay paparada ng magandang terno para makita ang kanyang alindog, at ang ibang Con-Asswomen ay magsasabayan ng gastos at pamahalan sa ternos. Ginagawa na nilang Oscar ang SONA. Siempre ay hindi nila matatabugan sa most expensive terno and jewelry and pResident Evilbitch!
Ang SONA ng u-nana, i-boycott, huwag panoorin o pakinggan para -38% rin ang rating ng tv viewers and radio listeners.
BTW, we would like to invite Japan-based bloggers here to attend a symposium re “The Truth Behind the SONA Address” sponsored by the Crusade for the Protection of Philippine Interests in Japan to be held on Sunday, 27 July 2008, from 5:30 p.m. at the Shinbashi Kumin Kaikan (Tel. # 03-3444-0461) near the JR and Hibiya Lines’ Ebisu Station. Hear the truth about the recent ZTE/NBN scam, etc.
Family planning daw will be included in the SONA. Wow, ang galing! 😛
Malay ng mga pilipino diyan? Just a few days ago, I met a Filipina in distress who was recruited to work in a bar in Japan after the ban on Japayuki. She came on a marriage visa but she never met her supposed husband. Then she met a Japanese who sheltered her after her visa was expired. Nanganak ng dalawa, and she said she never went to a hospital for her check-up and delivery. Siya lang ang nagpaanak sa sarili niya. Buntis na naman.
I asked her about why she did not prevent herself from getting pregnant. “Bakit, Ate, napipigilan ba iyon? Nandiyan na, may magagawa pa ba?” she said in return. Napanganga na lang ako! I thought, “Ilan kaya ang kapareho ng babaing ito?”
Kahit anupa ang isama ni Gloria sa pekeng SONA, one out of 10 pa rin ang papalakpak sa kanya. Sabi nga ni reyna elena at siya pa rin iyong isa na yun.
Special added attraction pala si Pukyaw sa SONA ni Pandak. Kahit sampung Pukyaw ang isama niya, siguradong malangaw ang kanyang fantasia SONA.
It’s a given. Wala pa ang SONA pero alam na ng mga tao ang laman niyon. Special occassion for Gloriahan na naman. As usual all credits and achievments she’s going to claim are all her fantasies and much too big to equal the total sum of her actual accomplishments. Hindi aakma yong claim sa nagawa. And if ever she’s going to say some truth that amounts to even half a percent, she deserves an applause, from the people and not from the palakpak boys.
Just wondering kung ano ang gagawin ni Pakyaw sa SONA..papalakpak? kikinig? (maintindihan niya kaya?) kawawang nilalang..he is being used and abused..Money, Money Pac Yeo…
For all the grandstanding, I dare Villar, Legarda, et al to stand up and leave the Congress hall while the dorobo speaks to show their disgust and sentiments against the lies that the creep habitually says in her speeches. That way, baka humanga pa ako sa kanila.
This is what Filipinos should force the creep to admit in her SONA: “The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles: Mahatma Gandhi: Indian leader, 1869-1948″
Ano kaya kung sabihin ni Gloria Dorobo that Fuckyao owes her his victory? Na kundi sa kaniya di mananalo si Fuckyao? Iyan na ang sign na may tililing ang ungas sa ulo.
Yuko,
Hindi aalis si Villar kasi ay isa siya sa bida kasama si Nognograles. Papalakpak pa iyan ng todo dahil love niya si Gloria.
Si Loren sinta naman ay magpaparada pa for attention, at love din niya si Gloria.
Kitang-kitang said na said na sa idea si Dorobo kaya pinagtitiyagaan na lang iyong to be laos na boksingero. Sakit na siguro ng ulo ng pubicity agent niyan kaya lalong mahal ang singil sa kaniya ngayon. Pambayad naman iyong ipinagmamalaking EVat ni Recto.
Kawawang Pilipinas!
Nagkakalat ang mga bisaya, Remonde, Paquiao, Pichay, pasensya na sa mga kababayan ko, mukhang nakakaon ug butete, wa sila balow low low… 🙂
Kitang-kita ng mga pilipino ang pagnanakaw ng mga pinapaupo nila, hindi humihirit. Unbelievable para sa akin kasi dito mabilis pa kami sa alas-4 sa pagmartsa pag may kurakot kaming narinig.
Proof na nagnanakaw ang mga ungas sa dami ng mga na-a-acquire nilang mga properties gaya noong bagong vintage property na binili ni Villar samantalang kung tutuusin hindi naman malaki ang sahod nila sa Senado at Kongreso. Proof ay ang hindi pagyaman ng hindi magnanakaw na kongresistang si Ka Bel. Puro trabaho lang iyong abang matanda, no kurakot dahil may pinapatunayang adhikain at prinsipyo.
Nakakaawa talaga ang mga pilipino. Tapos magkakalat sa ibang bansa gaya nitong mga pilipinang ipinapadala dito bilang Japayuki tapos caregiver kuno. Taragis wala nang mga moral sa totoo lang. Nagpapabuntis sa mga hapon para makakuha ng permit to stay in Japan. Ang masama iyong mga babaing kumukuha pa ng welfare sa gobyerno dito bayad ng mga taxpayer na hapones para ipadala sa mga pataygutom na mga kamag-anak nila na nakikinabang din ang hidhid nilang gobyerno. Nakakahiya na nakakasuka pa! Dapat ibinubulgar iyan at binabatikos!

Ahh have you read the statement of remonde, another moron from the enchanted kingdom??this is what he said
“If only the President’s critics will listen to the SONA, they will realize that her address will deal with real accomplishments, Remonde said.
“This administration can stand on its record compared to what other senior government officials (SGO) managed to do during their time,” he said. “Sana, they (President’s critics) will give us a chance,” he added.”
Is remonde dumb or dumber??? does he mean that the past SONA is not true???e kasinungalinagn lang pala ang sinansabi nila at pawang kasinungalingan lang naman pala ang lahat e. bakit pa mag sosona yang leprechaun na yan. dapat sya at sampu ng mga alipores nya ang maSONA
2nd, point – they were given their chances for the past years, pero pulos kakurankutan, pandaraya at pagtatago ng katotohanan ang inatupag nila. Now they are asking for a chance, NANLOLOKO NA NAMAN ANG MGA SINUNGALING AT MADAYA.
Ms. Ellen , can you please explain to me like I am a seven year old, this part of the remonde’s statement:
“Walang bolahan sa magiging SONAng ito,” said Presidential Management Staff chief Cerge Remonde”(with due apologies to Malaya, just copied it from your news, dtd 26 July 2008).
As I mentioned above, pulos pambobola lang naman pala lahat ng mga nakaraan na sona ng peke,magananakaw at mandarayang presidente e.
E hindi ko na alam kung dapat bang makinig pa ang lahat sa walang katotohanan na pambobola ni leprechaun.
They SICK!!! SICK!!! AND SICK!!!
26 July 2008
VIllar leaving the halls of TONGress??? I doubt, he who has ambition to be the next president, NYhahahahahahahah….
Imagine, for a senator, much more a senate president to sign a MOU with MIGRANTE??? he just want to use MIGRANTE as his platform for his ambition. I heard stories that he will help our distress kababayans, KUN TALAGANG GUSTO NYANG TULUNGAN ANG ATING MGA KABABAYAN E HINDI NA NYA KAILANGAN MAKIPAGSANIB SA MIGRANTE, PWEDE NAMAN YUN E.
The problem is his office is just wrting letters to our Embassies and Consulates to check and reaptraite our distress kababayans. How about the money for the repatriation???how about the breach of contract??? he is a businessman, dapat alam nya yun.
Like I said in the other blogspot. HE IS ALSO A PROFESSION LIZARD CALLED THE CHAMELEON. he can cange his color so fast that nobdy will notice him. STUPID MORON!!!!
That is villar.
“PROFESSIONAL” LIZARD PALA….
In fact, Villar’s Nacionalista Party is allying with Lakas. He has never been a true opposition.
Why is the Ombudsman asking for the resignation of Denis Villa-Ignacio? I thought Villa Ignacio is doing a good job. Maybe I’m wrong.
He did a good job prosecuting and convicting Erap. Now that the Evil Bitch doesn’t need him, he has to go.
Truth has a way of coming out even how hard you try to hide it. Gloria’s followers will eventually get the message whether they exit abruptly or get booted in the behinds. I’m sure the Pacman and others will eventually realize this. As it appears right now, he is a typical bisaya, hardworking, intense, very loyal, and his greatest strength (in this case perhaps weakness) is the “utang na loob.” He will repay to no end, those people who helped him when no one else bothered. We have to look at it this way, where were we when he was shovelling cement, working himself to the bone in the sweltering heat when he was a construction worker? Then again, I notice he is getting himself educated, his level of awareness will improve…not all of us started out as this aware also, some, like me, supported Gloria before…who would know she’s turn out like this? as I said, some people just see a goal, focus, and work hard to reach it, unfortunately, it depends on who is showing you this goal…
Pranning: does he mean that the past SONA is not true???e kasinungalinagn lang pala ang sinansabi nila at pawang kasinungalingan lang naman pala ang lahat e.

Mga gago nga e. Nahuhuli sa sariling mga bibig. Sunod lang kasi ng sunod kay Bobita na hindi muna iniisip ang sinasabi bago nagsasalita. O loko, labas din sa bibig nilang matagal na pala nilang niloloko ang mga pilipino at ngayon pa lang sila mag-uumpisang magpatino daw! Gago din ano?
8 years nang nakaupo hanggang ngayon sinasabi pa rin, “Help me to be a good president.” Tonta! Hindi pala kayang maging president, bakit hindi na lang bumaba?
Sa totoo lang, mas di hamak namang OK noon si Erap kasi walang gustung magpautang kaya siguradong walang mananakaw. Kaya ang pobre doon sa pahamak na jueteng lord nanghingi. Hindi niya alam pinapainan lang pala siya!
Sayang iyong namatay na si FPJ. Sure high school drop out pero may talino at wisdom. Kayang pinalakad ang industriya ng pelikula, for sure, kaya ding palakarin ang bansa di gaya noong may doctorate daw sa Economics, mas di hamak namang matalino yata iyong aleng nagtitinda sa bangketa pagdating sa pagtatawid ng gutom na hindi magnanakaw ng pera sa kaban ng bayan.
Maganda iyong tribute ni Dolphy kay FPJ. Siguro raw napatino na ang Pilipinas dahil pati ang mga katulad niyang di mahilig sa politika ay sasabak daw para mapatino ang bansa alang-alang sa yumaong kaibigan.
Sabi nga ng biyenan ko iba daw iyong dunong na na-acquire sa pag-aaral sa eskuwela sa wisdom na ibinigay ng Panginoon para sa ikabubuti ng isang nilalang ng Diyos.

Huwag kang maniwala na marangal ang layunin ni Fuckyaw. Tinanong ko siya noong nagpunta siya sa Japan kung bakit dumidikit siya sa mga Pidal. Ang sagot niya kasi kailangan niya sila para hindi mawala ang kita niya sa Las Vegas. At least, sila lang ang nilalagyan niya at kwidaw ang iba pang sasalisi sana kundi alam na protected siya ng mga Pidal. In short, naggagamitan ang mga ungas!
Political change is an application of group dynamics, the more you can persuade the most people or at least the critical few who can effect changes at all the better.
We cannot deny it, we have to gather people to our cause, but its downright impossible to attract or convince people of our sincerity if they get the impression that we’re a bunch of anarchic, foaming in the mouth, seething mad, hate-filled mob. The people need an alternative that they can believe would be a better one, like it or not, the majority right now may not like Gloria, but without a clear alternative, nothing much will happen…they’ll say pare pareho lang naman ang lahat and still settle for Gloria…better the devil they know than the devil they don’t know…nevertheless its still the devil, why most of us would settle for this I don’t know, its a reflection of our self-esteem, as if we have stopped aspiring, stopped believing, that we could still better ourselves…either that or get out of the country altogether…
Of educational attainment, yes I believe it is very important, especially for the highest position in the land. We live in a global community, we are not alone. We need someone who can represent us confidently, intelligently, competently and with uncompromising integrity. If the guy has a doctorate, by all means, if he has an impressive track record of achievements in community organizing, fiscal management, and organizational development – all the better. Bottomline, we should not settle for anything less, FPJ or Erap would have been popular personalities but we have to yearn for more, we deserve better. He’s out there somewhere…we have 80million Filipinos to choose from…

That’s why comes May 2010(in case it arrive) I will vote for “NOTA”(NONE OF THE ABOVE). Sabi nga nila you have choose among the lesser eveil, but why do i have to choose if they are still evil??? right.
I’m not saying I am clean. lahat naman tayo may kanykanyang dungis/dumi sa ating katawan e. Kaya lang, ako may kunsensya pa naman.unlike those who claim to be the redeemer of this beknighted land of the leprechaun, all of them have only one purpose in their life and to become president of the Pinas. All of them have personnal interest only and not the country’s interest.
Jug,
Over in Japan, apparently, there is a trend now about learning important things for man’s survival through nature than rely on the teachings of some bigots, hypocrites, et al within the four walls of some classroom.
What the heck do people have degrees for and be idiots, for example, like the mad man at the White House who has proved to be nothing but a scum of the earth, making everyone but himself as some terrorist that he wants destroyed and vanished from this earth?!
I don’t know about Erap, and why he did not pursue getting a degree when his family in fact could send him to the best schools, but FPJ would have gone to higher learning if his father did not die and he did not have to support not just himself, but his mother and siblings, and in later life, even his fellow members of the movie industry. For all you know he could have earned a degree like his siblings whom he sent to school.
For instance, I know for a fact his sister had a degree from UP like their father before them because of him, and so did the other brothers he supported. If I had any apprehension about his candidacy as a matter of fact was his other women that in fact is a big no-no in the Eyes of the Lord above who has a say in blessing or not a nation led by someone who has broken His Rule, especially on morality, but from what I heard from Senator Pimentel himself, FPJ would have made a good president no doubt!
You bet, out there is a good Filipino waiting to be recognized as someone who can lift up the Philippines from the gutter idiots,wrongly elected to positions by Filipinos, have pushed her in!
Baka ikaw pa nga iyon sa totoo lang. OK, taas ang kamay! Ay, this is not a hold-up! 😛
grizzy,
Nope, like you, I am a behind the scenes person, okay lang sa kin supporting role…Honestly, and I may get so many criticisms for this, the only person I see fit now is Trillanes…but thats just my opinion…
FPJ was my parent’s hero, they used to take me to see his movies, I practically grew up on them…The country must be in dire straits already when even someone as decent, peace loving, and private as he was, finally decided to pitch in. I really believed he won. Alhough I didn’t vote for him, in hindsight, the true mandate of the people should not have been undermined, whether he had the education or not, the people chose him…as it is, we are now experiencing the repercussions…the ones in power now believe they can do anything and get away with it…wala nang respeto sa batas o sa katotohanan…
Yup, sinabi mo pa, Jug. The Philippines needs someone who guts, and most of all, love of country like what Trillanes has shown he has. There are a lot many others in fact. They just need to be tapped and encouraged as a matter of fact even to do ONLY what is right!

I like this quote. Tama ka, puede kasing mag-pretend na malinis pero mas baboy pala like the present occupants of the palace by the murky river. Kunsensiya, mukhang wala niyan si Gloria Garutay.
We are told that our conscience will be our constant guide. That is true because it is one way God in fact communicates with us, by pricking our hearts, and we feel guilty when we are wrong!
I said this in another blog I don’t remember whose. The Malacañang press release says they have been working on this SONA speech for 4 months!
The SONA is supposed to be the president’s report card for the past schoolyear. It shouldn’t take a whole trimester of preparations to explain your grade to your parents unless they were all failures! Or that you are planning on lying and making false excuses or empty promises in order to convince the people who know you best.
If she only had an iota of credibility left, an extemporaneous but honest speech, even minus all the flowers and fireworks, will suffice. And everybody will eagerly wait for the SONA instead of finding excuses to avoid it.
I never saw a movie of FPJ, because we left the Philippines when he was just starting to be popular. One of my uncles in fact was the Poe, Sr’s PR manager before and during WWII.
Truth was I could not help raising an eyebrow when I read about his candidacy in Ellen’s column, but between him and Gloria Dorobo, I would opt to vote for him if I were a Philippine voter. I actually campaigned for him. I’d rather campaign for an honest man than for a known scoundrel! I didn’t trust the others, too. Puede pa siguro kung tumakbo si Senator Pimentel.
The most stupid SONA ever was that one with the “bangkang papel” boys.
No one on earth (and in even in my planet, 69-TIA) believes that she actually got the message written on those paper boats. Let alone make it through the filthy esteros of Payatas where the boys were from.
It does reveal though Gloria’s penchant for illusions and delusions of fantastic proportions.
What do you expect from a moral midget?
You bet, it was the craziest SONA, but oh how they believed it, and I mean those who supported EDSA 2. And the nerve of the creep to insist that it was true, even producing those kids with their parents, and all to prove that she did receive those paper boats that allegedly travelled from Payatas to Malacanang. Kasama pa nga si Dinky Soliman sa kasinungalingang iyan. Nakakatayo ng balahibo sa totoo lang!
But the plan to prop up Fuckyao during the SONA is definitely another crazy attempt by the laos a laos na to pump her ego. I have never heard of any president in the Philippines or overseas who try to steal the limelight from any boxing champion like Kennedy for example inviting Casius Clay (Muhammad Ali) to the White House and try to look “bida” din, not even Dubya for that matter. Laki talaga ng tupak sa ulo ni Gloria.
Pero iyong ambassadress din ng US, parang nakakaloko rin ano? Her making suggestions for the SONA and praises for the midget stink as a matter of fact. Katunayan, parang nanunuya ang dating!

Jug,
In case of Pakyaw, he should not repay the evil couple Pidal with anything because he owes them nothing. As far as I know, it was the late Teddy Benigno who inspired and morally supported him when he was just making initial successes (this is only as far as I was reading TB’s articles on him).
Ang Arroyos, Atienzas, Chavits…they only came to Pakyaw’s life when he is already made, GINAMIT na siya). In short, itong mga lintek na leeches na ito ang dapat ay tumanaw ng utang na loob kay Pakyaw to no end. It’s sad, Pakyaw thinks that he is in good company.
Maganda iyong tribute ni Dolphy kay FPJ. Siguro raw napatino na ang Pilipinas dahil pati ang mga katulad niyang di mahilig sa politika ay sasabak daw para mapatino ang bansa alang-alang sa yumaong kaibigan.- Yuko
Perhaps, it’s Da King’s mission. To make people aware of very dirty Pinas politics. Who knows?!
I agree with tongue, why take a lot of time preparing a report card? Simple lang di ba? Subjects, grades, standards. What criteria did she outline before, show us the numbers, then we’ll see if palakpakan ba talaga. Of course the report should be verifiable. Bakit kailangan pa ng mga props? And why does it feel like choreographed yung palakpakan as if on cue?
Let the people clap, show her SONA in the big Mercury electronic billboards and see if people will clap (or even watch).

FPJ or Erap would have been popular personalities but we have to yearn for more, we deserve better. He’s out there somewhere…we have 80million Filipinos to choose from… -Juggernaut
Gloria and her cohorts did not give Erap a chance to finish his constitutional term only because they hated him so much…wala raw Ph.D! Who knows, Pinas would have been in a different situation if civil society and ‘educated’ ones only respected the Constitution.
Yes, “He ‘WAS’ out there somewhere”!
There is an ancient teaching “Fools and UNPREPARED people do not recognize a master even if he/she is right in front of them”.
Kung magkakaroon ng idea na buhayin ang Evening Paper, maganda itong itapat sa lunes 07/28/2008.
At doon magkakaroon ng banner headline:

chi,
I see your point. The pacman is is just that, a warrior, as warriors go, they just do what they are good at. If you saw the movie “Braveheart” you’ll see what I mean, Wallace was a warrior, he won many battles, but he remained loyal to the prince (or was he the king?) he was blinded by such loyalty that he didn’t see that this royal blood was serving the enemy (English) and even after he was betrayed, he still believed in him. In the end the prince (or king) betrayed him again and even delivered him to the enemy who executed him (I believe the word is disemboweled). His words to the prince/king was “UNITE US!”
I won’t be surprised if Paquiao finds himself on his butt when he’s no longer useful to this pretender to the throne…
chi,
The Philippines is not just made up of the masa, we also have the critical few whose influence or actions decide major movements in our economy, politics, and foreign relations – the source of power themselves. The masa itself cannot run the country, for who will bank roll them? Gloria knew this all too well, she knew what buttons to push, who to ally with, and how to work the plan. This little lady managed to do what Marcos and Erap weren’t able to – deceive the church. She is a force to reckon with, and as far as strong enemies go we have to respect that force and not be careless. She can only be beaten by out smarting, out maneuvering, and out thinking her. An honorable battle or confrontation will never work, as she is without honor.
“Gloria and her cohorts did not give Erap a chance to finish his constitutional term only because they hated him so much…wala raw Ph.D! Who knows, Pinas would have been in a different situation if civil society and ‘educated’ ones only respected the Constitution.” – chi
Not everybody who helped Gloria rise to power hated Erap. Some, if not most “loved the Philippines” and it was because of this blind love that they were deceived. Believe me, not a day goes by, that these people beat themselves up…
Jug,
Fuckyaw is not even a warrior. He is just a game boy like those able-bodied slaves who were groomed and pitted like beasts as in Spartacus. Warriors are a different breed.
Pasalamat siya mahal na ang bayad sa mga boxers but he is not as wise as Elorde who was guided and molded by his own father-in-law, and was very generous and a great help to many boxers like him. Itong si Pacman, yabang lang, but at the rate he’s going, kapag biglang urong iyong mga sponsors niya at makita niya ang sarili niyang balik sa dati, for money is actually not permanent.
This reminds me of a cousin of my husband, whose father was a member of the Zaibatsu and therefore was living an affluent life when the father was alive. Biglang namatay ang tatay. Dahil sa mayaman, ang laki ng inheritance tax. Nagrebelde. Imbes na bayaran ang inheritance tax, sa galit niya, pinabayaan niyang mailit ang inheritance niya. Namuhay na homeless until his siblings were informed of his death.
Alam mo kung ano ang possession niya nang kunin ng mga kapatid sa isang hospicio ang kaniyang katawan? Isang supot ng maruming damit at isang litrato ng pamilya nila nang mayaman pa sila!!! Nakakaiyak? Sinabi mo pa!
grizzy,
Ewan ko nga ba, dati kinikilabutan ako whenever I hear the “Para sa yo, ang laban na to” akala ko tuloy maganda ang kantang yun, but lately kinikilabutan na naman ako sa “Butete Low” so I concluded it was just a case of kabaduyan…I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for rags to riches stories… (:
Jug,
In my opinion, the “critical few” overstepped their “source of power” in case of Gloria Arroyo illegal installation to power.
chi,
I agree. These hypocritical bastards won’t even admit their mistake even if deep inside kumukulo na rin dugo nila, but I’m hopeful we’ll reach a tipping point…hopeful…
Jug,
While talking of warriorship, I suggest you get a copy of “Shambala, The Sacred Path of the Warrior” by Chogyam Trungpa, hindi ka magsisisi. And then tell me if Pakyaw is a true warrior. 🙂
chi,
Thanks, I’ll look for it in National Bookstore tomorrow.
grizzy,
There was a time in college that I was extremely facinated by Japanese history, the Shogunate, Tokugawa, daimyos, samurai, ronin, the concept of “giri” or debt that cannot be paid (or was it?), and the Zaibatsus – are these the new samurais or Lords but in a business setting? That time I really wanted to to Budo college on a judo scholarship which unfortunately was shot down by my mother and o course a badly sprained knee.
The Zaibatsu are a different breed, Jug. They were merchants, not so loved really during the Shogunate era, but they became very rich when Japan was industrialized. In contrast, the warriors (the Samurai) were impoverished by the change during the Meiji era.
My husband’s father belonged to a Samurai class attached to the Daimyo named Takeda Shingen. On the other hand, my mother-in-law belonged to a priestly class, and they actually monopolized positions in the local and national governments before WWII.
My own Japanese ancestors were warriors, too, belonging to the Taira Clan of the famous “Heike Monogatari” that you must have heard about.
It is a very spiritual clan as a matter of fact made famous by the stories of ghosts, goblins, etc. after the clan was almost totally annihilated, and there were talks of spirits seeking to be avenged. I guess it is why I am a born fighter myself, and definitely very spiritual.
Mag-ipon ng lakas para sa mapagpasyang laban sa rehimen..!!
Walang anumang palatandaan na papayag si Gloria Arroyo na basta na lamang lumisan sa Malacañang pagkatapos ng kasalukuyan niyang termino. Katunayan, ang lahat ng mga hakbangin niya ngayon ay nakatuon sa patuloy na pangungunyapit at higit na pagpapakasasa sa kapangyarihan. Subalit sa katuus-tuusan, bibiguin siya ng lumalabang mamamayan.

Jug,
You should read the story of the 47 ronins. They are actually interred at the Sengaku-ji temple near where we live in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. Theirs is a story of loyalty, a good one to indoccrinate wannabe fighters for a cause with.
I love their story, myself, and would like to think that I am capable of the same loyalty.
We actually get to be reminded of their story in December when it gets retold with the showing of “Chusingura” on TV and on stage (kabuki).
