The former agriculture undersecretary tagged as master architect in the illegal diversion of P728 million in fertilizer funds in 2004 yesterday cleared his “benefactor” President Arroyo.
But senators, both allies and critics of the President, were unconvinced about the claim of Jocelyn “Joc Joc” Bolante, saying it is hard to accept that such huge amount would be released without presidential approval.
“President Arroyo was not involved in this particular project of the Department of Agriculture. The implementation of the P728-million farm input-farm implement program was approved by DBM without the approval of President Arroyo” Bolante told Sen. Mar Roxas.
Roxas said it is unbelievable that the President, known to be a micromanager, would not have known about the release of the amount.
“Para masabi na hindi niya inaprubahan ito, napakahirap lang tanggapin. P728 million ito… and this P728 million is equivalent to 25 percent, one-fourth of the budget of the DA at that time. Imposible na ganitong kalaking halaga ay ire-release na hindi magkaroon ng approval mula sa Pangulo,” Roxas said.
Bolante told Senate president pro tempore Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada that the amount that was released to different municipalities does not need the approval of the President.
“Ibig mong sabihin, ang Pangulo ng Pilipinas, hindi nalalaman ang pag-release ng 700 plus million pesos?” Estrada asked.
Bolante said it is part of the regular budget of the Department of Agriculture and that it was part of the 2003 budget of the department that was released in February 2004.
He insisted the amount was not intended to finance the campaign of the administration candidates in May 2004 as it was released in August 2004.
He said the amount was requested by the proponents in September 2003 and that some of the amounts were not even released after the elections.
Bolante clarified that “as far as the DA is concerned it was not a fertilizer project. It was a farm-input, farm-implement project and the project proponents were the ones who chose how they would use the fund within the scope of the definition of the farm-input, farm- implement project.”
Senators remained puzzled as to why the amount was released during the campaign period and during the harvest period.
Bolante admitted it was his office that prepared the list of project proponents of the fertilizer fund.
“The list was prepared by my office, tasked by the DA to put together all pending request from different units,” he said.
Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago warned Bolante against perjuring himself.
“I give you a fair warning, sir, that although I’m an administration ally, what I have heard today has caused me almost a heart attack. I’m suffering from arrhythmia and you will have to take the responsibility if my health deteriorates and I join you at St. Luke’s hospital,” she said.
Santiago almost flared up in disbelief when Bolante said that in his three years in exile, not one in government contacted him.
“Naiskandalo na ang buong gobyerno walang tumawag sa iyo sa gobyerno? Ahhhh!” she exclaimed.
She recalled the testimony of Jose Barredo, the alleged runner of Bolante, that 25 percent of the P728-million fund went to Bolante, 30 percent to the proponents, 20 percent to the supplier, and another 25 percent to himself.
“Kinuwenta ko itong sinasabi ng testigo. Eh di 100 percent! Wala na palang perang naiwan para ibili ng fertilizer at farm inputs! Pinaghatian na lang nila. Pinag-parte ang pera,” she said.
“Ngayon, ano pruweba mo na nabigay yung fertilizer na yun? According to that witness, under oath, lahat ng pera pumunta lang sa kickbacks. Walang ni isang katiting na pumunta sa fertilizer. That is why it is called fertilizer fund scam. Aber, pakita ninyo sa amin ang dokumento na tinanggap ang fertilizer,” she told Bolante.
Bolante denied knowing Barredo, prompting Santiago to butt in.
“Well I didn’t ask you! I asked you, give me proof that the farmers received the fertilizer,” she said.
Senators also questioned Bolante’s skills as DA undersecretary.
Bolante admitted he was the first presidential appointee of Arroyo.
He said it was the Presidential Management Staff who informed him of his appointment, apparently due to his closeness to Jose Miguel Arroyo.
On questioning of Sen. Francis Escudero, Bolante stressed the DA did not release a single centavo of the program to politicians.
“We released it to the local government units, to the chosen implementing party of the projects of the congressmen and governors, for example let say in the province of Pampanga we did not release it to the governor, we released it to the provincial government of Pampanga,” Bolante said.
He said the amount was released under the Agriculture Fisheries Modernization program under the farm-implement, farm-inputs program.
But Escudero pointed out that it was not covered by AFMA. He said his father Sorsogon Rep. Salvador Escudero, has long been secretary of Agriculture department and that it has been the practice of the DA to release fund to rural banks, cooperatives and cooperative banks and not to the municipalities.
Escudero also recalled that then DA Secretary Domingo Panganiban testified that he was not aware of the farm-inputs, farm-implement program.
Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile questioned Bolante why the DA did not directly handle the implementation of the fertilizer program and instead give it to local government units.
Enrile cited the almost uniform allocation given to LGUs regardless the population and the size of their farm lands.
“Why Batanes, Camiguin getting similar amount to Bohol or Siquijor or Pangasinan? There was so much disparity in population, size of provinces involved or size of farms involved,” Enrile said.
Bolante tried to explain by saying that a governor received P5 million allocation because it covered his entire province while a congressman got only P3 million because it would only cover a district.
The former undersecretary also said LGU leaders have committed to augment the amount with their local funds to ensure the program’s success.
‘VERY UNFAIR’
In his opening statement Bolante described as “very unfair” the Senate’s move to arrest him.
“In all honesty, I really feel that the decision to cite me for contempt and the consequent warrant of arrest was very unfair and railroaded,” he said.
He said the Senate, during the 13th Congress, had indicted him and branded him as the “architect” of the fertilizer fund scam.
Bolante said that he has nothing to hide and apologized to the Senate for “whatever inconvenience” his absence has caused in the course of its investigation into the multimillion-peso fertilizer fund scam.
“First and foremost I would like to apologize for whatever inconvenience my non-appearance in this august body has caused. I assure you it was not out of disrespect, nor was it because I had something to hide,” Bolante said in his opening statement.
“I had no intention of snubbing the Senate hearings… I have made prior commitments abroad which were set long before the scheduled senate hearings,” he added.
Bolante said he was “disinclined” to show up, amid perceptions the Senate had made a “prejudgment on the issues and proceedings” and that the matter had evolved into a “prosecutorial inquiry.”
“My lawyers had advised me (that as far as the Senate is concerned) I stand as an accused and not as a witness,” Bolante said.
Bolante said he received the subpoena for the Nov. 24, 2005 hearing only on November 23, making it “physically impossible” for him “to make the necessary adjustments” to his earlier commitments.
He added that flew to Los Angeles in July 2006 because he was already committed to give a speech at “a very important conference.”
UNPARALLELED
Santiago said she is peeved over the vast powers enjoyed by Bolante over the disbursement of the funds, which she never enjoys as senator.
“Mr. Bolante, you have unparalleled authority to control and dispose off the sum of P728 million even I, as a senator, does not have the power,” Santiago said.
Sen. Loren Legarda said: “You were extra powerful. I never enjoyed that when I’m senator, kahit andito sila Budget Secretary (Rolando) Andaya during budget hearings, I can’t order them around.”
Escudero said the powers of Bolante over the disbursement of the funds were not even enjoyed when his father Salvador, was minister of agriculture of Ferdinand Marcos.
Enrile was intrigued why former agriculture secretary Luisito Lorenzo gave Bolante blanket authority to administer the funds to chosen proponents mostly made up of politicians.
Enrile said department secretaries and even their immediate subordinates are usually given the power to approve the release of funds not beyond the amount of P5 million but Bolante was given authority to approve the release of P728 million.
DEATH THREATS
Bolante told the Senate panel that he was receiving death threats prior to his appearance in the probe.
He said in one of the threats through text messages, he was threatened with abduction if he “says something wrong.”
He said he will bare the death threats only in an executive session.
Bolante told Sen. Rodolfo Biazon that he has no intention of putting the country in a bad light when he told a US immigration court that he had been receiving death threats in the Philippines.
“I’m just afraid. I’m just a normal person who is afraid,” Bolante said.
The Blue Ribbon committee still allowed Bolante to go home but he would remain guarded by the Senate security personnel.
“We continue to assign security to maintain your status as being under the custody of the Senate, like protective custody to make sure you’re also safe,” said Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Blue Ribbon chair.
Bolante asked the Senate panel if he could attend the House hearings on the fertilizer scam.
But Cayetano said: “Right now, that’s not your problem. You’re still under our custody.”
He said the House has to make formal communications with the Senate and has to agree that Bolante was under the Senate’s custody.
Bolante promised to make himself available in the next hearings.
Tagilid yata mga senadores.
Kung susuriing maigi ang mga sagot ni Joc-joc, mayroong mga butas para matiklo siya. 2 taon pinaghandaan ni Joc joc at ng mga kaalyado nito ang kanyang isasagot. Ang maganda ay kumakanta siya at dito rin siya matitiklo.
Ang importante, ang interes ng mga senadores na ikanta niya lahat ng nalalaman niya para mapatalsik ang kanyang “PANG-GULO”. Pero mukhang ayaw ng mga senadores na ito ang mangyayari kasi tatagilid ang kanilang ambisyon na maging pangulo.
Sana ay tanungin ng senado si JJ kung sino sino sa DA, RFU, LGU na kanyang tinuturo na nakakaalam tungkol sa fertilizer scam. Magagalit siyempre ang mga itinuro at sila ngayon ang magsasabi kung ano talaga ang nangyari sa pera. GAMITIN DAPAT NG SENADO ANG MGA SAGOT NI JJ LABAN SA KANYA.
Nagtututuro na si JJ para makalusot siya at ang kanyang “PANG-GULO”.
Mukhang ganoon na nga ang nangyayari. Pag kumanta si Bolante at napatalsik si GMA, papalit si de Castro na isa rin candidato. Tagilid sila Villar, Roxas, Lacson at kung sino man ang gusto maging presidente. Wala sa kanila ang may gusto malaman ang totoo.
Sa pandaraya ni Gloria Dorobo kasama si De Castro, di ba? Bakit makakalusot na siya ang ipapalit kay Dorobo? Mangyayari niyan, delaying tactic ang gagawin ni De Castro. Dapat hulihin din ang ungas na iyan. Lahat ng kasama ni Gloria na isinulong ni Garci, JdV at Kiko Pangilinan, dapat disqualified lahat.
Sa mga progresibong bansa, it will call for a snap election to be fair. Hindi iyong ipapalit ang kasabwat din noong aalisin. Pambihira naman ang kabobohan!
Malambot yata ang mga senador kay Joc-Joc.Parang slap on the wrist lang ang nangyayari.Asus! sayang ang kinasasabikan ng mga mamamayan sa mahigit dalawang taong paghihintay.
Teka bakit may hakot ng Babae si Bolante na nag piket sa Labas Senado?Tignan mo nga naman sa kaunting halaga ay ipinagbibili nila ang dignidad nila.
Kaya nawalan na akong gana na tumira pa sa Pinas ang buhay ng tao ay may katumbas na halaga.Punyeta!!!!!!
Halatang halata na sinungaling si Bolate. Terrible ang kapal ng mukha ng taong ito. Masusunog ang kaluluwa nito sa impiyerno. Hindi ba siya natatakot? Tarantado ang ungas na bisayang iyan. The nerve to say na kaninang umaga lang niya nalaman na na-liquidate ang 91 percent noong fund na ninakaw nila ng mga amo niya. Sarap magmura!
Itong mga “Babae Ka” na pro Bolante ay masahol pa sa puta.Bahala na nga silang pumila sa talong kilong NFA tutal wala silang pag-asa.Ang iniintindi lang nila ay ang kakainin nila ngayon.Gagawa na lang sila ng maraming bata at bahala na si Bathala.
Parang inamin na rin ni JJ na siya ay may sala dahil sa sinabi niyang mayroon siyang banta sa kanyang buhay. Sino pa nga ba ang magbabanta sa kanya? Siyempre yung mga natatakot na masangkot sa kanyang katiwalian.
Si Montes ay ganoon rin. May banta rin daw sa kanya. Bakit? Dahil sangkot na siya at baka kumanta rin.
Malinaw na nagsisinungaling si Bolante.Mabuti na lang at hindi sila kinabitan ng lie detector machine,kundi baka mas masahol pa sa Glorieta ang tindi ng pagsabog sa senado.
Matulog na nga ako.Lusis lang pala ang paputuking bomba sa Senado.
Beating around the bush si Bolate. Bakit ba hindi niya diretsahin ang sagot niya at nag-e-explain pa kuno siya kung ano ang benefits ng mga fertilizer na hindi naman natanggap ng mga magsasaka. Tindi ng kapal ng apog ng animal na iyan. Golly, halatang halatang may briefing ng mga Pidal. Kahawig na kahawig ng mga sagot ni Iggy Pidal noong tinatanong sa Senate noon tungkol sa kurakot ng kapatid niyang ginamit ang apelyidong Pidal. Hopefully, hindi makakalusot ang animal na iyan. Kasuhan na ng perjury at contempt. tang… ummmmmmph, can’t say that word. I promised not to.
Halatang nagsisinungaling si Bolate. Admitted na na-release iyong hinihingi nilang pondo noong Feb. 2004 na height ng campaign for the presidency. Palusot pa ang ungas. Nadudulas ang ungas.
Papalusot pa ang ungas na matagal na nilang hiningi iyong pondo na na-release lang ng Feb. 2004. Gago din ang katwiran ng ungas. Golly, 2003 pa and even before that gjmagawa ng ng paraan ang mag-asawang Pidal kung papapno makakakuha ng pondong pangsuhol sa tutulong sa kanilang mandaya. Iyon ngang property dito sa Japan, August 2003 pa gusto nang idispatsa ni pandak para pandagdag sa campaign fund niya.
Puede ba? Lumang tugtugin na ang kurakot nila. Itong si Bolate, hindi nakakaintindi ng command responsibility. Ulol!
“What if I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth but I LIE ? “
Malapit nang mamamatay, hindi pa magsisi. Sino pa ang pareng kinukumpisalan ng ungas na iyan. Kasabwat din ba ni Satanas?
Golly, kinakatwiran ng ungas na wala daw siyang madalas sa Pilipinas noong nakapuwesto siya! Ginagaya si Mike Pidal na umaalis sa Pilipinas pag delikado ang lagay niya. Iyon pala ang tactic nila para makalusot at hindi makulong. Ikakatwiran na wala sila sa Pilipinas! Yuck!
Ikulong na ang ungas na iyan! Puede ba? Isama na rin iyong kakambal niyang si Mike Dorobo na asawa ni Gloria Dorobo.
Nagkatawanan kanina sa likod ni Cayetano nung ipinapakita niya yung Exhibits A, B, C1, C2, C3, C4, pagdating sa C5 nag-ngitian yung mga staff sa likod. Sapul si Villar. Palagay ko nagcomment si Lacson.
Taragis, ang dami pala sa kanila sa Senado and ini-implicate ni Bolate sa Senate. Kung ako naman ang mga senator, hindi na dapat na ibalik iyan sa St.Luke at ipakulong na iyan for contempt and perjury. Nawiwili ang animal.
Ang lakas naman ni Gloria Dorobo. Hindi madakip, kitang-kita nang lumabag ng batas enough to disqualify her. Ang bobo naman! Pinapaikot lang ang batas na binaboy na ng husto ng mga abogago!!!
Sabihin lahat ni dyokdyok ang mga senadores na sangkot sa scam, burado sila sa listahan ko and will campaign against them very hard, promise.
Kung ganyan kalambot ang questioning ng Senado, e sayang lang ang pinaghirapan ni Atty. Roque. Torture ang dapat kay dyokdyok hanggang sumuka ng impormasyon.

Farmers and the people got lied on, deceived and their hope was shattered by both wh*re Gloria and Bolate, along with others. Only, because wh*re Gloria and Bolate decided to use the P728 millions originally intended for the farmer’s fertilizer. Instead Bolate, we now know, diverted the fund to the wh*re’s personal agenda, instead of looking out to the farmers and the people best interest. Anything short of finding out of what has become of the farmers fund are totally not acceptable. Caution: With sneaky Villar and Cayetano in the panel, both should be watched very closely, and scrutinize, the both speak for the wh*re with fork tounge. These duo (Villar and Cayetano) are nothing but big dissapointment, specially Cayetano since he got elected. As to my own personal opinion, I don’t expect anything positive will come out of the hearing. Since, Senator Ping Lacson couldn’t do it alone, let alone battle the entire wh*re Gloria’s brown bag army in the Senate. Once again, those expecting much from Bolate, prepare yourself for another dissapointment. Wh*re Gloria got everything under control, as always.
That’s a lot of info, baycas. Tnx.
I do not trust the dead corrupt system! Since, we all know they’re not looking out on the people’s best interest. Surely, I’ve my biggest doubt about the outcome of this hearing with Villar and Cayetano leading the charge. I still think, Bolate should be drag out of the Senate hearing by the people and have a public hearing instead. As in the past, those doggone Senators (with one exception) are bunch of wimpy and in the tank with the wh*re.
Bolate’s Senate appearance is all for show, and a waste of resources, specially when it’s all predictable of the outcome. Senate has no credibility, since they’ve failed the people over and over again in the past.
Ang tangnang dyokdyok, hindi raw involved si Gloria sa fertilizer scam. Ganun pala, e bakit siya tago ng tago? Pwedeng bang hindi involve si Gloria e yung asawang Mike ang nagmaniobra. Anak ng bitch!
If the Senate hearing on Bolante Case is a Trial for his guilt or non-guilt, then it is a failure from the start, because it is never intended to be a criminal court. If it is for Legislative Measures, I’s say they still light years away from knowing how to do it. and I’ll make some little suggestion.
We all know that there was criminaly involved in Fertilizer Scams, but knowing that all were already Scripted, the police and the ombudsman already forewarned, and the oppositions are just as impotent as they have been trying to impeach GMA and can’t even get it out of House Registrar office door, we all know that nothing will happen on the Criminal aspect, In short GMA and the administration had everything already captured and shackled.
Now the only thing the Senate could do is to conduct a Judicial Inquiry of the Blameless Type, but not until it passes the legislation to establish the body to conduct the inquiry with the power of subpoena, power to cite contempt and perjury to any party of interest who will be discovered lying under oath or later, but will never charged any one of any crime arising from testimonies given at the inquiry..this is the only way to find out the facts or the truth. call it any way, but that the only way that proper legislation can be enacted after discovering all the facts.
Ganyan lang ba, tapos na si dyokdyok sa Senado? Ang babait naman nila sa magnanakaw!
First of all, those people protesting the Senate hearing were sent by Malacanang to neutralize the anti-Bolante protestors.
Why was Bolante not detained at the Senate and allowed to go home? Until this hearing is over, he should be under the custody of the Senate and the best place is the Senate. Anything could happen at home.
Since Miriam Santiago lost her bid at the International Court Justice, she appears to be behaving like an oppositionist. Is this for real? The Evil Bitch promised to help Miriam but failed. Is Miriam getting back at Malacanang?
Bolante acted like Neri by clearing the Evil Bitch. Bolante obeyed Malacanang’s order to clear her; so they allowed him to appear at the Senate hearing. Don’t expect Bolante to return to the Senate. He and his lawyers would argue that he’s already said everything and provided all the info. So, the next forum should be the Court.
Mukhang scripted ang mga karamihang tanong. Kung i-replay niyo, mukhang doon sa mga tanong lang ni Mar Roxas ang medyo nataranta si Bolante. Yong ibang tanong, memoryado na ni Bolante ang sagot. Wala na talaga tayong maa-asahan pa sa mga kawalanghiya-an ng mga Arroyo. Mukhang inu-uto lang nila tayo. Hindi na talaga lalabas ang katotohanan. Sabagay pare-pareho lang naman silang corrupt. Puwede ba itigil na lang yang mga palabas na yan. Diyos na lang ang huhusga sa kanila. Maniniwala na ako na puro papogi lang lahat ito. Mga kababayan ko … gumising na tayo. Wala tayong mapapala sa mga Tongressman at Senatong. Dati Lacson ako pero nawalan na ako ng gana. Binay na lang ako … lol.
Kaya nga ang tanong, may briefing ba ang animal while in the custody of the Pidals via St. Luke? Ang bobobo naman. Puro grandstanding lang!
Kawawang Pilipinas! Ang dami pang paligoy-ligoy. Labas din, palpak!
Since the guy is no longer a public official, he does not have any immunity. The case is clear. Bolante is suspected of stealing the fertilizer fund for the Dorobo in Malacanang. Ang linaw naman ng istorya. Kahit na ipagpalagay nating malabo, trabaho ng mga pulis na mag-imbestiga. Unfortunately, iyong korte ng Pilipinas na siyang dapat mag-issue ng mga warrants, puro kakutsaba ng mga magnanakaw.
Kawawang bansa!
Anong say ninyo? Di as usual, justice delayed in justice denied! Almost three years passed siempre lahat ng tao eh halos nakalimutan na ang mga pangyayari. Also, within that time there are so many Monteses (yung nagbibigay ng info and “gamot” kay Big Joke!)who were promoted to higher positions and there fore had the chance to “clean” up the files. Most of the so caleed beneficiaries of course wouldn’t want to be implicated so all files were cleaned.
What striked me with Bolate is his EASE of LYING. He was so good at it that nothing could rattle him at all! Mukhang linagay siya ni Fatso sa DA only for the purpose of diverting money for the elections. After the scam, Bulate decided to resign. Baka nga naman hugas na ang pagnanakaw niya. But a crime is a crime and there is no statute of limitations for any crime committed.I do not think this scam is only in the DA. Baka sa ibang branches ng gobierno ay mas malaki pa ang diverted money for the elections nagkataon nga lang na ang DA lang ang nahuli.
O, dumating na ang impaktang si Gloria mula sa US dahil tapos na si dyokdyok sa Senado. Nagtago lang ang lintek!
Tama ka PSB. Ako suspicion ko kasabwat din iyong mga nasa Department of Finance, including the national treasurer na hindi kapareho ng uncle ko noon na hindi nakikialam sa politika. Simple lang ang pamumuhay at hindi nakanakaw sa National Treasury.
Taragis, iyong mga properties dito sa Japan, August, 2003, tanda ko nagprotesta kami dahil gusto ni Dorobong ibenta ang bahay na tinitirahan ng ambassador, etc. kasabay noong procurement of funds na sinasabi ni Bolate na nang ma-release nilipat siya sa ibang department para hindi disimulado ang ginawa nilang pagnanakaw.
Golly, kahit bobo at walang pinag-aralan kitang-kita na may anomalya sa ginawa ni Bolate! At saka, papaanong nakapag-release ng mga pondo ang mga animal na walang pirma ni Gloria Dorobo? Sabi nga sa Harry Potter, “Curioser and curioser!,” meaning, “Unbelievable!” Before we know it, nakatakas na ang animal. Buti na lang, off limit na siya sa Tate.
BTW, biglang tumaba na naman yata ang animal. Ilan letson kaya ang pinakain ni Mike Pidal?
“Perfecting the Art of Corruption”, a perfect title for a Gloria movie. Sana, meron tayong Michael Moore sa Pinas.
Please kahit anong pagtatakip ni Bolate, iyong mga clues lead doon sa squatters ng Malacanang. Kapal talaga ng mga apog ng mga animal! Yuck! Nakakaiyak! Kawawang Pilipinas! Dapat diyan nag-aalsa na ang mga taumbayan.
Sobra na, tama na! Patalsikin na!
Kaya nga, Chi, sabi ko noon, huwag nang mag-ambisyon si Erap na bumalik sa Malacanang. Gayahin na lang niya si Michael Moore na walang takot na binubulgar ang mga baho ng mga kurakot sa bansa niya. Bibilib pa ako sa kaniya kung ganoon ang gagawin niya.
bakit ba sila inglisan ng ingilisan. Dapat tagalog ang usapan nila at pera mag magsasaka ang ninakaw nila. 90% ng magsasaka hindi sila naiintindihan sa salita nila:)
dapat gawing pataba na lang si bolante ng mga magsasaka!
Joc-Joc Bolante passed the blame on P728 M anomaly to DA regional directors and LGU’s. He absolved Gloria Arroyo and his former boss DA Sec. Lorenzo. He lied big time in the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee. Score: 3-0 in favor of Bolante. First victory-he avoided arrest and stayed in the United States for two years, 2nd win –he tricked the Senate Sgt. at Arms men at the NAIAirport (nagsakit-sakitan blues). He stayed at St. Lukes’s Hospital for two weeks to memorize his script. 3rd win- He spread lies at the Senate hearing. Kung best of 5 ang laro, talo ang Senado at taumbayan.
Kasinungalingan lahat ang sinabi ni dyokdyok! Ang korap na si Gloria ay walang alam sa halos P800mil na pera ng gobyerno? Unbelievable! Kung gayon ay wala siyang karapatang maging lider kahit lider-lideran! Walang pera na naitatago o hindi alam ng isang super korap! Pakensyet!
Death threat?! Coming from whom? The mere fact that such a threat exist means only one thing, someone out there wants Joc Joc to lie. Simple logic dictates that a guilty person would do everything in his/her “power” to cover up a crime, and that includes silencing (killing?) their accomplices who were about to squeal on them. Definitely the threat wouldn’t come from someone who only wanted to know the truth.
When Joc Joc openly stated that there was a threat on his life, is he not insinuating already that he has no choice but to lie? Human’s, and even animal’s natural reaction when under such threat is self preservation.
Noticeably absent during the hearing was Senator Jamby Madrigal. Where was she? If she was there, she would give Bolante a harder time. She and Lacson always make a good team for the opposition.
street justice na lang kay bolante. itali nalang yan sa poste at bahala na ang publiko maghusga. walang kwenta mga hearing hanggat nasa likod niya pa rin ang makapangyarihang demonyita na yan at kongreso.
Ibig bang sabihin ni Joc Joc ay bobo at tanga ang amo niya? Na di alam na may niluluto silang “ulam” sa halagang 728M? Lokohin niya ang lelong niyang panot.
@deanr : “dapat gawing pataba na lang si bolante ng mga magsasaka!”
Bossing, di pupwedeng gawing pataba ang bolate. Mauubos ang mga pananim ng magsasaka. At isa pa, di pupwedeng gamitin ang mga fertilizer ni Joc Joc kasi sabi ng mga nakatanggap eh malabnaw daw at hinaluan ng tubig. Baka ang tumaba yung bolate at di yung mga pananim.
Liar will always be a liar, it’s in their blood, and because they couldn’t help it, they just don’t know any difference. Hence, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to all, that Bolate’s exonerated wh*re Gloria of any wrong doing, it was expected of him as a loyal subject, at least to my perspective. like I said before, Senate or any court of law within the grasp of the wh*re, I considered them all dead, and it’s not the proper venue to get the truth out from Bolate. To do it with effectiveness, just drag that SOB Bolate on the street and pull his tounge out till he blead, then hand him pencil and paper to write the confession. And for good measure, cut couple of Bolate’s fingers for mismanaging the P728 M. Again, court of law is not the way to go, at least while the wh*re is the dictator. Philippines judicial system is dead!
COA to the rescue. Tumanggap daw si Gunggong ng fertilizer fund. Mukhang magaling ang fertilizer na yan. Kayang magpatanim sa aspalto.
Never under estimate the power of both wh*re Gloria and pimp hubby Mike. They’ve the power and unlimited brown bags. They’ll do anything and everything to remain in power, that you can take to Pidal’s bank accounts. So, another chapter is almost at to the finish, and more dissapointment, I suppose. One bright side, I hope soon enough, if we live long enough, when the wh*re buried six feet underground, we can all visit the grave site, and with a grin, we can all pee on her final resting place, at last, it’s finally over. The wh*re is gone!
so what are they going to do about it now?
why dont they go back to the magsaysay report?
Alan Cayetano got P3M from the fertilizer fund. Saan niya ginamit yun? Marami bang farmers at sakahan sa Taguig?
Grizzy,
Baka hindi tanggapin si Joc-Joc sa Impierno…pag-nagkataon threat sa puesto ni Satanas siya.. Baka maagawan pa si Satanas ng kapangyarihan, kaya nga nanganib ang puesto ni satanas nuong nagkasakit si Gunggonzales at si Mike arrovo pasalamat siya at hindi natuluyan yung dalawa at kung nagkataon ay wala na si Satanas sa Impierno.
Three years of trying to get the Bolate back is all for naught. Naisahan naman ni wh*re Gloria ang mga taong bayan, I suppose. I could imagine the wh*re big grin on her face now, probably saying to herself, marami pang mga kalabaw na kakanin bago kayo lumaban sa akin. At tumawa ang wh*re, hi! hi! hi!
Anyway, wh*re manage to do it again, made a mockery of the system. It won’t be the last.
Parang may napangakuan dito sa imbestigasyon na ito. Sa unang mga sinabi ni Bolante ay pinasasalamatan niya itong mga Senator na sina Villar, Cayetano at Angara. Di ba nakapagtataka????? Mga kabayan gising na!!!!!
With what happened at the Senate hearing, I wish dyokdyok remained in the US prison.
So after the hearing, dyokdyok resumes living as a millionaire.
Naisahan na naman si Juan.
It’s quite hard to accept, P728 million dissapeared and no one is accountable? Not even one person will be going to jail, ain’t amazing. Such a perfect system for wh*re Gloria, no accountability, and lying is just an acceptable standard.
Most Senators appeared to be just acting…perhaps with the exception of Mar Roxas. Miriam was visibly mad at Bolante; but she still kept laughing. Jamby Madrigal could have a legitimate reason for being absent since this woman often attended the past hearings. Joker, Gringo, Lito…where were they?
Not even one Senator bothered to ask Bolante about his lawyer and doctor. Both are also the lawyer and doctor of Mike Pidal Arroyo. That’s no coincidence!
Cool lang, People.
It’s all entertainment, Pure and simple.
Kaya huwag masyadong seryoso. Baka malipat pa ang mga uban ni Bulate sa inyo.
Kayo din.
Bolante said his family was the one that arranged with St. Luke’s after his arrival. That means Bolante was already sick from the US. If he was sick from the US, he would have been provided medical assistance and not allowed to travel because it would be the US government’s responsibility if something happened to him.
While at St. Luke’s, Big Fat Mike Pidal went there at least twice. His reason: Exercise Teraphy. Noli de Castro also went there. His reason: To check his dry throat. Malacanang Spokesman Anthony Golez also went there. The reason: He thought it was a Catholic Church. St. Luke’s Chapel.
They have been there before. We have seen the same shows before. How many times in the past that they kept re-enacting such scenes in the Senate? How much did they accomplish? It’s all for show and achieve nothing. The end result-Nada.
Considering that this body is the last hope to ferret out truth on so many scandals in this government; the suspense that it generates that gave hope to all concerned citizens that finally just this one, just for once and just this time they will be able to nail it, but then again as usual it turned to be a dud. The Senate is inutile, powerless and the Senators turned out to be lemons and amateurs. As if they are following a script. Is it because each and everyone have a hidden agenda?
JocJoc as a resource person is a deep well of information regarding the fertilizer scam. He is involved as the principal character but he has his own priorities. Being a super loyal subject he has to serve his masters first before himself and the people. Extracting the truth from him is like squeezing a drop of water from a stone. So it’s up to the Senate to do the job. If Joc Joc is hard, then press harder because being softie is not the answer but that’s what happened. Joc Joc got a pat on the back for being cooperative and was let go.
And so what now? Just like that?
The senators did not study very well their homework on the spectacular wait for the long test. Like in the case of Garcia
the erstwhile comptroller, the president need not approve the releases of fund or to keep it and both would not question even where the bullet would hit. This procedure is true to all cabinets. A tacit order is enough for any cabinet to support a project of the boss. The best thing to happen now and to save faces is to seek out the elusive truth starting from the end users and up to their own kind, too, till it reaches square one again.
All what the Senators needed to do was to refer to the Senate Report and ask Bolante about the report particularly the list of those public officials who received the funds.
Nakapagtataka, marami ng uma-amin na mga tongressman at mga LGU’s na may nakuha silang share. Sa tinagal-tagal na isyu bakit ngayon lang sila naglabasan?
Kailangan na talagang bumaba yang Glorya na yan. Ga-bundok na talaga ang tae ng mag-asawang Arroyo.
Bolante had just elevated prevarication into a new art form. He didn’t even flinch while lying through his teeth. I thought I saw Satan boasting at the stands “That’s my son!”
Will bolante tell the truth? Not at all! But its good to listen to bolante tell lies, you can always infer the truth. From his lies you will know the truth. You can also see among the senators who really is on the side of the people and truth. Here, most senators are for their own side and that is very sad. What could compel bolante to tell all the truth? Not the senators, not the courts, only death, that is if bolante is a religious man. His family who are enjoying the fruits of bolante’s fertilizer scam master plan will not side with the truth. They have such sweet things to lose, never mind if they lose their souls.
Here’ something to nibble on:
A little bird (bolante) was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy (senators to GMA).
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.

“What If Philippine govt. officials adopt the system of Koreans, japan and even Nixon na kapag naeeskandalo ay nagbibitiw sa katungkulan o kaya ay nagsusunog ng sarili. Di ko maintindihan na kung saan pang bansa ang mga so called Catholic and Christians ay bansa na punong puno ng kurapsyon at mga kasinungalingan. Kailan sila matututong mahabag sa majority ng gutom at naghihirap na mga Pilipino. Milyon, bilyon at napakaraming pera ang pinaguusapan pero tayong mahirap eh ni pambili ng pagkain ay napakahirap hanapin kahit pa mag double time ng trabaho. Minsan naiisip ko na sinong Santo kaya ang magbibigay ng linaw sa kaisipan nilang nasa katungkulan. Ano kaya ang kinain nila noong mga sanggol at bata pa sila? Bakit wala silang kunsyensya?

We are in this very sorry state partly because of the RC bishops who are ashamed to strongly condemn graft and corruption in the country. Sadly, they have become part of the practice of graft and corruption. They the bishops have become part of the problem. Admit it or not that is the sad truth. And not surprising, gloria and her cabal are rejoicing in these. They know pretty well that the RC leadership (CBCP) where majority of the bishops are, are in the pockets of gloria and cabal. Woe unto them. There may be few bishops who are true to the faith, but the rest are pretenders. They are not even alarmed by the waning number of RC faithful. We RCs don’t even believe these bishops anymore. Hiwalay sa katawan ang mga salita ng mga obispong ito. Kaawaan sila ng Mahal na Dios.
Inutil na mga senador!
Free Trillanes!
haay naku.
alam namang palang magsisinungaling. eh bakit nag-hearing pa?
Masama pala ang loob ng maraming doktor sa St. Luke’s Medical Center dahil sa mistulang pagkanlong nito kay Jocjoc Bolante.
Hindi lang makalantad ang mga batikang doktor ng ospital pero ang sabi ng mga ito, nahihiya sila sa nangyayaring coddler sila ng mga kriminal at corrupt.
Subukan lang ninyong lumantad at nang mawalan kayo ng ospital!- Anthony Taberna (Abante)
—
Ha!Ha!Ha! Ipapa-meltdown ni Pidal ang St. Luke’s kapag kayo ay pumalag!
Sabi ni Anthony ay napakagaling na janitor ni Bolante. Yep, pati tae ni Gloria ay pinupunasan ng kamay! Hinahagod pa ng dila!
Si Gloria Arroyo ang utak ng suhulan galing sa fertizer fund noong 2004. Sino ang may kapangyarihan magpa-release ng malaking pondo? Ginagago ni Bolante ang Senado at taumbayan. Hindi siya mapiga dahil kasama ito ng script. Baka sili labuyo ang kailangan sa kanyang tumbong para kumanta ng La Paloma.
Chi,
Hindi lang mawawalan ng Hospital …. mawawalan kamo sila ng buhay.
Baka fake din na Doktor yang Saavedra na yan … biruin niyo may sakit daw si Bolate e mas malakas pa sa tingin ko sa isang kalabaw.
I-boykot dapat yang St. Lukes Hospital. Marami pa namang magaganda at kompleto din ang kagamitan na hospital.
oo nga. bakit nag hearing pa. ayon sa balita ay wala namang naniniwala sa mga pinagsasabi nitong si bolante. dati namang walang naniniwala sa kanya. ang tanong ngayon ay kung may naniniwala pa sa mga senador. si bolante pa lang iyan, paano nila lalabanan si gma na titser ni bolante?
Ewan ko ba kung bakit nag-hearing pa. Sabi ko dun sa unang poste ko about dyokdyok, tapos na ang kanyang estorya…bugbugin na lang!
Milyunes na kwarta at malaking panahon ang inuubos sa dramatistang yan, expected naman ang sasabihin na ayon sa script ni Gloria at Mike Arroyo.
Inutil na mga senador! Ang lalamya! Korek, si dyokdyok pa lang yan, paano ang gagawin nila sa titser at master?
Tedanz,
Hindi dapat nagrereklamo ang mga doktor sa St. Luke’s dahil true naman na coddler sila ng mga kriminal. Ano ba si Gloria at Mike, di ba number ones na mga criminal? Tapos, heto si dyokdyok at kung hindi pa sasampahan sila ng kaso ni Atty. Roque ang concerned citizens ay hindi papayagang lumabas ang kriminal na yan.
Kapal talaga ng mukha ni Bolate. Nagbakasyon sa kulungan sa Tate tapos ang tapang magsabi ng na-deny ang petition niya for asylum kasi wala naman nakitang threat ang mga kano sa buhay niya at kaibigan naman niya iyong mga kriminal na pinagtatakpan niyang mga kakutsaba niya. Lolokohin pa ang mga kano. O loko di siya nakalusot. Sa Pilipinas lang naman siya puedeng lumusot basta stick na lang siya doon sa script na binigay ni Mike Pidal.
Golly, walang pinag-iba doon sa mga kriminal na iniimbestigahan namin sa Japan! Paligoy-ligoy lang ang sagot. Pero bakit hindi mahuli ng mga batugan sa Senate? Hindi maipit ang ungas kasi ang mga tamad kasi nangangapa din at hindi naman sila talagang humanap ng ebidensiya para maipit ang ungas.
Saan ka naman nakakita ng mga nagtatanong na nagre-rely din doon sa sagot na nakakaloko noong sinungaling. Hindi kasi mautusan ngayon iyong mga pulis dahil nakasahod din ang mga kamay ng mga mokong doon sa magnanakaw sa Malacanang. Palandi pa kamo ang pagbibigay ng mga envelope na puno ng pera ng bayan para hindi siya galawin ng mga dapat na magpakulong sa kaniya.
Sarap murahin ng mga hayop sa totoo lang! Kawawang Pilipinas! Hanggang saan pa kaya ang pasensiya at pagtitiis ng mga pilipino?
Nag-release ng pondo, hindi alam kung saan napunta? At saka walang go-signal ni Gloria Taratitat? Unbelievable! Diyan na lang kitang-kita na ang kababuyan ng administration na nakaw ni Gloria Dorobo y Pidal. Di kaya nahihiya iyong anak na babae sa ginagawa ng mga magulang niya? Di pala iyong anak na babae kundi iyong napangasawa niyang pamangkin noong pare! Biro mong malalahian ng mga magnanakaw at kurakot ang angkan nila. Yuck! Sagwa!
Sabi siguro ng mga magsasaka na niloko ni Gloria via Bolate, “Tang….mo, JocJoc! Mamatay ka na sana!” Dapat itakwil iyan ng asawa at anak niya! Nakakahiya ang lahi ng ungas!
I guess Joc Joc has no choice but to lie, and lie some more. If he tells even one single truth about the scam, he is DEAD MEAT. Yan lang ang nakikita kong dahilan kung bakit siya nagsisinungaling sa senado at sa taong bayan. What could even be worse is pati pamiliya niya ay ratratin ng mga guilty. He should do a Lozada, by telling the truth coz the truth was what saved Lozada from being massacred.
Another Gloria and Mike Pidal Arroyo directed/controlled Zarzuela? What else is new?
If the Senators really wanted to know the truth that they claimed they wanted, they could do it. They were playing for the gallery.
Either that or they’re just a bunch of idiots desperately pretending to have something between their ears.
Mike,
Yes, I agree dead meat sya pag kumanta. But he had a choice, ang maging state witness, at tiyak pati pamilya niya ay poprotektahan ng kapinuyan. Sabi mo nga…ala-LOZADA. Hindi siya/sila magalaw ng Pidal mafia. Takot lang talaga si dyokdyok, duwag.
When asked what made him qualify to be the USEC of DA, Bolante replied his finance background. So it’s very clear…Mike Pidal placed him at DA to take care of finance; thus, the Fertilizer Scam.
For the love of everything you hold dear, don’t name your male son JOCELYN.
See how that screws a person up.
Puedeng ipangalan ang JOCELYN sa alagang baboy. Bagay na bagay.
Hmpt! Ang akin lang which is not all-all, ang takot lang nang JokeJoke of all seasons na yan sa demonyo-nitive. Sorry sa tagal ko sa Merika purdoy na me sa ispilling.
Oo DKG, baboy nga. Si Jocelyn ay kasing dulas ng baboy na pinaliguan ng sebo para gawing palaro sa pyesta. Ang galing lumusot.
“Yes, I said they had red plates but I couldn’t be sure if they were government vehicles.”
That one’s a beaut. It was all I could do to bop my head with a coffee mug when I heard him deliver this gem.
Mark my word, gagawing textbook ng mga future grafters ang transcipt ng hearing na yan.
“If he tells even one single truth about the scam, he is DEAD MEAT.”
He is not going to be a DEAD MEAT but a DEAD BOLATE….lol
Siguro masarap ang burger-bulate. Baka nasa menu ni Ben Burjer.
Bolante implicated Sec. Yap. No wonder Yap was promoted to DA Secretary. If Yap attends the Senate hearing and asked if he’s involved in the scam, Yap would answer nope instead of yap.
My memory of people’s faces have never failed me. I am dead sure the lawyer sitting at Jocjoc’s back, second from the right when you look at the tv, is a Sigma Rhoan, fraternity brods of Enrile, and Angara. Enrile was not as inquisitive as he was with Sandra Cam, Vidal Doble, Jun Lozada and many other whistle-blowers. Angara didn’t even show up after failing to derail the hearing. Cayetano’s house arrest order was a slap on the wrist, Lacson was shaking his head when Cayetano announced it. Although Pimentel and Lacson were about to make true their threat of formalizing their motion to put Jocjoc in Muntinlupa at some point, they seemed tired and frustrated at the gall of Bolante to keep lying through his missing teeth.
Why am I saying this? Because the Senate caucus days before the hearing was to me a trick to get the senators reveal their questioning strategy to prepare Jocjoc’s answers in advance. The admin senators’ questions were easily answered, only those “unexpected” questions from oppositionists rattled Jocjoc a bit but the memory excuse was always the easy way out.
Now, you have frat brods guarding base and fake oppositionists out in the field. They let jocjoc make his homerun when the ball hasn’t even left the pitcher’s mound.
Why isn’t the gallery reacting? There ought to be a riot but why is it not happening?
Why was there no riot? The militant protesters were outside the Senate for many hours. Then suddenly, a group that called themselves “Young Pinoy” appeared to counter the other group’s protest. When asked by the reporters why they were there and what issues they were fighting for, these kids could not answer. Certainly, this group was sent and funded by Malacanang.
The observation that most Senators only played acting and followed the script was true. I was just astonished by Miriam Santiago’s unusual questioning. She did not hesitate to mention Malacanang’s hand on the Scam. Is she and Gloria on separate way after faling to get the International Justice Court? Angara, Joker, Honasan, Lapid…all Malacanang stooges did not attend. But, where was Jamby Madrigal who was consistently an opposition? Overall, I was impressed with Roxas, Lacson, Pimentel and Escudero’s lines of questioning.
Parang bitin ang kanilang pag-tatanong kay Bolante. Joc-joc had ready made answers to their queries. I don’t know the reason why the opposition senators cannot press hard on their questioning. There are hundred ways to kill a cat. Tinimbang ngunit kulang. Naisahan kayo ni Bolante. First Round: TKO.
Take note of the battalion of lawyers behind Bolante. Bolante was well coached. Atty. Zulueta was provided by Mike Pidal, the latter’s lawyer too.
Joc Joc must be full of regrets why he lets himself spent and wasted the last two years of his life in jail in the US. If he only knew before hand that getting off the hook from these honorable senators was no sweat and so easy maybe he should have even volunteered to sit in front of them and tell his story. Now he knows better and better late than never. After all he has the last laugh.
I should say that the Bulate is a master con artist at its best! Part of his role was to play “meek” parang hindi makabasag pinggan! But everytime he was to lie the most, he uttered “ah,ah,ah…” I swear that I saw him even smiling(smirked) at times in some odd way.
Hindi naisahan ang senado. This whole charade was scripted too not just that of the Big Joke. Let us face it, election 2010 is just around the corner (kung si Money Villar and Norgrales did not close a deal yet with the evil bitch to have juicy positions in the Parliament that the evil bitch had been eyeing at). Will these senators pin down the evil bitch now and put Noli de Castro on the throne? Secondly, the senators have their moist eyes on the 1.5 trillion budget. Maraming “project” roads din yan leading to Money Villar’s real estate development. Hindi lang ang representathieves ang marunong kumuha ng brown bags, the senatongs know it too. All these documents the senate have even with the bar codes will all be invisible possibly even all shredded now by the time the Ombudsman go through their probe. Ang sistema pala sa Ombudsman ay yung mga accused and the witnesses bring their own documents to Ombudsman and then the investigations start from there. After three long years, two or even more dead DA personnel who knew the anomalies in the DA, lots and lots of promotions to those who facilitated the heist, do we think the Big Joke’s case will ever be solved? Besides, over 8 years of the constant practice of corruption and crime (including professional assassinations of witnesses), the BIG GUYS in this criminal gang know exactly how to GET AWAY FROM ALL THEIR CRIMES!
The representathieves want to put Bulate on the stand too to clear themselves. Each of the 105 representathieves prepared speeches like that of Sheberi(Zubiri) and had practiced their lines to be delivered with passion that they did not receive the millions that the Bulate gave them! Gusto din nilang pumapel kay Bulate so that the millions they will get from throwing away the fourth “impeachment” complaint ay may “DAGDAG” pambili ng bagong sasakyan para sa mga mistresses nila!
Having the Bulate in the lower house will also make it easier for the Bulate to be absolved. The house allies will all prepare a “washing my hand” speech!
ALL THESE DRAMA AT THE EXPENSE ON THE FILIPINO PEOPLE ARE ALL JUST DONE FOR MONEY AND POWER! WHAT A WASTE!
Miriam mentioned that the perpetrators in the Big Joke’s crime may be those above him and may even lead to Malacanang. Mmm, is there a “falling out” between the evil bitch and Brenda? I wonder…
Sec Yap of the DA was even promised almost 50 billion of agriculture money by the evil bitch at the height of rice crisis. Partners in crime pala itong isang ito. Boy, Malacanang gets unsuspecting young people like Yap, Golez, Fajardo to do the dirty work for them. Yap was the newly installed Usec for Operations at the DA when this fertilizer scam occured. Siempre pa Yap will be shielded by the mafia gang.
The Evil Bitch and the Crazy Bitch have a falling out because the Crazy Bitch was promised the IJC post.
The House wants to investigate Bolante not only to clear the Reps’ names; but to make sure that Bolante repeats Gloria is not involved in the scam; thus, this won’t be included in the impeachment complaint.
The Cayetano brother and sister have already unofficially joined the administration camp. Miriam’s gesture is geared towards joining the opposition again…because of her disappointment with the nomination or to act as Malacanang’s spy in the opposition.
ang mahirap kasi e walang malinis ang kamay. maraming matatalino pero halos lahat compromised.

Masha baka galit si Brenda kay evil bitch kasi she (the evil) did not push enough for Brenda to get in the International Court.

The moment he answered that Gloria is not involved, the Senators should have packed up, the galley should have walked out or pelted jocjoc with spark plugs or golf balls, dammit. It’s not just the senators, it’s the people too!
WB says 40% of the subsidy to the poor got lost to corruption! Wow! In the Big Joke’s case 100% nga eh. Tubig na lang na may konting drop ng fertilizer ang nakarating sa mga magsasaka!
Nasan nga ba ang mga civil society kuno? Kay Neri ay nang-aaway pa sila, ngayon ay ni hi-ho ay wala silang presence para kantyawan si dyokdyok.
The people…they are either hungry, amused, kukuyakuyakoy o naghihintay ng 2010. Tangna! Kung wala na talagang pakialam ang tao sa mga kababuyang ito, Pinas is really doomed!
Napakasakit na ng aking kalooban sa mga pangyayari sa ating bansa. Ang patuloy na panloloko ng mga ganid sa pamahalaanm, ang patuloy na pagsisinungaling ng bawat isa sa atin at ang walang habas na panlilinlang ng mga kampon ng kasamaan ang syang ugat ng paghihirap na ating dinaranas.
Sino ang maniniwala? Sino pa ang maniniwala sa mga panlilinlang na ito? Di kailangang ng isang abogado upang matanto ang kasinungalingan isinisiwalat sa bawat pagdinig sa Senado. Ang paggamit sa bawat pagdinig sa Senado para sa personal na adyenda at kasinungalingang walang habas na ginawa ng mga mapagkunwari ay higit na nagpapahirap sa aking kalooban.
Panginoon, nais ko po sanang ipaalam sa Inyo ang kawalan namin ng pag-asa na magkaroon pamahalaang MATAPAT AT MAKADIYOS. “ANG CBCP NA NAGING UGAT UPANG MANATILI SA KAPANGYARIHAN ANG GANID NA PAMAHALAANG ITO AT ANG IBA PANG SEKTOR NG LIPUNAN NA PTULOY NA NAGBUBULAG-BULAGAN AY TULUYANG NALUGMOK UPANG PAMUNUAN ANG HANGAD NAMING PAGBABAGO. ITINATAAS KO PO SA INYO PANGINOON ANG AMING MAHAL NA BANSA. PANGINOON IKAW NA PO ANG BAHALA SA AMIN AT SA KANILA.”
It ain’t over yet, folks. Am eagerly anticipating the antics of the lower congs if they push their threat to arrest Bolante from the clutches of the Senate.
Where is Civil Society? It’s disunited. There are two opposing groups within Civil Society.
Ginagago talaga ang Senado at taumbayan ng mga kampon ni satanas, wh*re dorobo at baboy pidal. kitang kita ang pagsisinungaling ng tangna bolate na yan. dapat sampahan na yan ng plunder case sa korte kasi lagi niyang sinasabi na siya lang ang in charge sa financial. at dapat ikulong yan sa muntinlupa para pagdusahan niya ang mga ginawa niya. hindi etong house arrest na ibinigay ni cayetano. a slap in the wrist punishment. halatado etong mga senador na binibigyan ng preferential treatment etong si bolate. at dapat si cayetano ay mag inhibit dahil nakatanggap din siya ng 3M sa fertilizer fund scam, umiinom na rin pala ang mga itik sa taguig…BWAHAHAHA! ang dapat ipalit sa kanya as chair ay si Senator Lacson para lalong mangatog etong bolate na eto at magsabi ng totoo.
Napapansin ko rin na ang ibang senador ay pa english english pa kahit na hirap na hirap magsalita ng english. sarili nila ay hindi nila maintindihan. nahihirapan tuloy akong maintindihan sila kahit na fluent ako sa english language (no offense). dapat magtagalog na lang sila dahil nasa Pilipinas sila.
fenix – Sen. P. Cayetano already mentioned that JJ is free to attend the Lower House’s investigation if he wishes to do so.
I am not expecting much on JJ’s investigation in Malacanang’s Lower House. Apparently, 105 ally congressmen pushed for and rushed this investigation to whitewash themselves and derail the senate investigation on JJ’s scam.
Hopefully, the handful opposition will be prepared with documents enough to prove the scam and pressure the guilty parties to start pointing who receive the money and where it went.
The opposition should anticipate JJ’s statement in the Senate that the names of the Congressmen on the list were just used as a guide for the distribution of the funds and does not necessarily mean that they were the recipients. Obviously, this is a big lie.
i mean…umiinom na rin pala ng fertilizers ang mga itik…
pumapapel ang mga tongressman dito kasi may plano silang absuweltuhin si bolate. kaya kailangang maging vigilant tayo. Gising Pilipinas! Patalsikin ang pekeng unano na yan! NOW na!
gapoboy: dapat magtagalog na lang sila dahil nasa Pilipinas sila.
*****
Hindi mo nga alam kung alam nila ang pinagsasabi nila. This reminds me of a document that I am now translating from English to Japanese that was released by a court in the Philippines. Dios ko po, ang ingles—malabo! Sure, hifallutin words ang ginamit pero hindi umpak sa context ng nilalaman ng judgement. Nahihirapan tuloy akong i-translate. Nabubugnot ako at hindi tuloy ako makaisip ng tama. Buwisit talaga!
Kaya siguro iyong Bolate, dahil sa limited din naman siguro ang ingles—kung iyong tagalog nga nahihirapan siya na pambansang wika pa ng Pilipinas, ingles pa?—kaya ang mokong paulit-ulit ang sinasabi using the same basic terms he must have been told to say. Mukhang nag-ensayo pa sa harap ng salamin kaya nga sabi ni PSB may pangisi-ngisi pa ang ungas nang nanloloko sa sagot niya doon sa mga nagtatanong sa kaniya.
Buti nga iyong anak ni Ninoy Aquino, tagalog ang salita. Malinaw ang sinasabi niya at naiintindihan ng mga nakakarinig na karamihan naman ay mukhang di pa nakatapos o nakatungtong ng mababang paaralan. Iyan ang tunay, hindi para grandstanding lang gaya ni Cayetano na kunyari may hinihintay pang mga papeles. Ulol! Two years na nakakulong si Bolate sa America bakit hind nila hinahanap ang mga ebidensiya bago siya pina-deport back to his country.
Tarantado din nga iyong mga nag-i-speculate na baka sa Hong Kong siya ipa-deport ng mga kano gawa nang hindi siya nanggaling sa Pilipinas nang pumunta sa Tate. Buti na lang, hindi naman inutil ang mga taga-korte at immigration ng Tate kaya alam nilang dapat lang sa Pilipinas ibalik iyong pilipinong bisaya!
Pambihira talaga when these idiots make a mockery of justice, law and order. Ang linaw naman na may utos si Dorobo, pinapayagan pang iligoy sila ni Bolate na niloko pa iyong mga kano na delikado ang buhay niya at papatayin siya ng mga senador! Susmaryosep, ang bobo naman!
Kawawang bayang sinilangan!
Time to challenge these senators to put Bolate to jail. Kung hindi nila magawa iyan, wala silang silbi. Entonces, none of them should be nominated and voted for the presidency in 2010. Exemption si Senator Trillanes dahil hindi naman siya pina-attend ng incompetent SC, etc. ng Pilipinas.
Walang tulak-kabigin! No wonder, lahat, or almost ALL Filipinos want to leave the Philippines and get foreign citizenship. Sa totoo lang napipilitan ang karamihan kasi wala namang benefit na manghawak ng Philippine passport. Duda agad ang Immigration ng ibang bansa na baka mag-o-overstay lang.
Kawawang bansa!
If you noticed when Senator Roxas was asking Bolante in Tagalog, Bolante kept answering in English. I didn’t hear a word of Tagalog from Bolante all throughout the hearing. Well, Bolante is from Capiz, an Ilonggo. He could have a thick accent like DOJ’s Raul Gonzalez, Sergio Apostol, Herrera…
BE, kaya pala hindi naintindihan ni bolate si Senator Roxas kasi english ang salita ni bolate hindi niya naintindihan sarili niya…Dapat ikulong na iyan.
Na dumbstruck ba mga senador? Not surprising dahil mga dumb naman talaga ang mga senador natin. Ano ba akala nila? Titistigo si Bolante laban kay pandakekok? Ano magpapakamatay yung sinungaling at magnanakaw na iyon? Kailan pa mangyayari iyan, samantalang bata ni Pidal yang hayopak na iyan.
Obvious naman na may kasalanan, na tinatago ng sindikato ng palasyo, na pati Amerika ay gustong suholan basta lang masalba ng mamagot sa senado.
Ngayon na nariyan na, ano resulta? Ang totoong ma dumbstruck ay tayo, ang sambayanan. Nadumstruck sa pagka-idiot ng senado.
Next time there is a senate hearing investigating some crimes in aid of legislation/reelection, it’s a must that polygraph machines be present at the senate hall and that it should be hooked to the witness as well as hooked to the senators asking questions. 😀
Just imagine, this bolate is only an undersecretary and he was just sent to house arrest. If there will be an election again the people should never vote for cayetanong impostor again.
What will happen to bansot if her time of reckoning comes? cayetaong impostor or whoever will just send her to house arrest? Gloria is an illegitimate occupant of malacanang and should never be given any privilege like house arrest.
Mga ibang abogado magagaling sa boladas lang kaya nananalo sa politico. Mga iba magagaling at tahimik lamang sa likuran ni Bolante.
the house has been bought and receive a part of the 728 mil. jocjoc is a deadman walking.
who are the 30% proponents. this could mean the representative of the people. congressmen
who are the 20% suppliers?
25% for Jocjoc, that’s a lot of money. where is his house and the assets of his family. we can confiscate that.
25% to barredo?
barredo and jocjoc are hiding friends already in hiding. whoever cares to protect him whether the president or the senate, also also protecting their interest. This case is a mess.
Sen. Trillanes should be able to hook up a Video Cam and deliver his question online. I would think, that he would have the better line of questioning for Bolante, as he has no aspirations at present for higher office. While Sen. Lacson has delivered the better questioning. I sure hope that these Senators would be better in the next hearing.
Gloves should be off, Joc-Joc should be held in a jail not in the comfort of his home.
As it is, I perceive that they are protecting themselves from the repurcussion should these inquiry spark the downfall of Arroyo. If ever this should happen, Noli de Castro would assume the presidency, thereby, giving him the ammunition / advantage to launch his presidential ambition come 2010, should there be an election. This goes the same for Sen. Villar, in case Noli is declared unfit to assume the presidency.
Other presidential aspirants would be losing in the run up to the elections, and would therefore want to have status quo until 2010.
Geez! They are not after the ineterests of the people, after all. They after each own’s interests! What a spot the Filipinos are in presently and for decades and generations to come…..
Filipino people should stand up once and for all and reclaim their dignity and self respect. Once achieved, the people must guard this with all their might, and must instill in themselves : “NEVER AGAIN!!!”
There is no Love for Country anymore. No More Patriotic Deeds. Everyone is for himself! It is very sad indeed.

Welcome to Ellenville, maydangalkaba.

Syet! Buti na lang nabanggit mo gapoboy! Kaya pala kumapal ng husto ang water lily sa Laguna bay sa parte ng Taguig dahil sa P3M na fertilizer! Walang paggagamitan kaya ibinuhos sa ilog papuntang Laguna Bay!
That’s it!
Welcome, maydangalkaba. Okay itong username mo a.
Hello everyone! I beg your indulgence for as I lurk on this site everyday, my 6 year old daughter reads with me. Now, she insists on commenting. know that, because of this blog, and others like it, she is the most politically aware child I know. Everything she types is un-edited. Here goes!
hi i do not like the nice things that gloria or joc-joc says because i don’t think they mean it. then i go close to the tv when it is jun lozada so i just do not listen if it is arroyos or bolantes. so as long as i logged on.. i loved logging on things…like internets.
Good girl! You know, my son who is 10 and is graduating in elementary in March knows more about local and world politics than most adults I know. He is my adviser on the Georgia-Russia, the DR Congo, and the Thailand-Cambodia skirmishes since I never followed those stories. Since he thinks for himself, I am barely successful in convincing him Gloria is a crook. He reads newspapers from cover to cover I guess Gloria-sympathetic media is doing a good propaganda job since I have yet to get him to agree with me that Gloria is a cheat.
Little girl, keep on reading and watching the news, not just cartoons. Study hard because after we are old and gone, it’s gonna be your turn, and my son’s, to look after our country, right? God bless you.
Tongue, your son is only 10 years old? You must have married very late. You might have married at 50 since you’re now 60.

Asiandelight, salamat sa listahan ng mga “bayaran”. Unfortunately, it will be the same tongressmen and senatongs (if any) who will be paid big time again to crush the latest impeachment. Hindi nga talaga matatanggal si evil bitch at siya ay ang “source” ng malalaking SUHOL! Our countrymen should take note of these vultures.
Kaya pala gusto ng lower house maging bisita si Big Joke. These paid tongressmen will wash their hands in public just like the So Very Corrupt (Zubiri)! Anyone of these dogs can say anything to wash their hands but wa epek! Mga mandurugas pa rin ang tingin ko sa lahat ng nandito sa listahan na ito! It is sad indeed!
Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is the new Senate President. He got 14 votes. Who are the new majority?
be, I’m still in my 40’s ano’ng 60?
40’s plus 20’s equals 60’s. Isn’t that right, tongue?
