As I’m writing this, Malaya’s House reporter, Wendell Vigilia, sent a summary report that House Resolution 737, amending economic provision of the Constitution that would allow 100 percent owenership has now 163 signatures.
They need 175 signatures to bring it to take it up in the committee level, then to the plenary. They need only 12 signatures more. Kayang-kaya yan.
The Cha-Cha train has cranked up . Tsug…tsug… tsug…tsug…tsug…tsug…Beyond 2010.
Malaya’s story today :
Cha-Cha express about to roll: Binay
Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, president of the United Opposition, yesterday said President Arroyo’s allies in the House of Representatives are raring to again introduce the issue of Charter change.
“Time is running out on the administration. By middle of 2009, people will be talking about the 2010 elections. If they (majority congressmen) are going to embark on a last-ditch effort for Charter change for Mrs. Arroyo’s benefit, they have to do it now,” he said.
He said he has information that pro-Arroyo local executives and her House allies conducted public consultations on the issue of amending the Constitution while Congress was on a month-long recess.
He said more than 100 pro-Arroyo congressmen are expected to report an “overwhelming consensus” in favor of Charter change.
“The Cha-Cha express is all set. And we should brace ourselves in the next few weeks for a final attempt to extend Mrs. Arroyo’s stay in Malacañang,” he said.
He said in the event of legal challenges to Cha-Cha, House leaders are prepared to bring the issue to the Supreme Court where several justices up for retirement next year are expected to be replaced by Arroyo appointees.
Binay warned the Palace and its allies that their final push for Charter change to favor Arroyo would not get the support of the people.
“If Malacañang pushes through with Cha-Cha despite public opinion, this could well be the tipping point for the movement to remove an unpopular pretender to the presidency,” he said.
“The people are overwhelmingly against Charter change at this time. They know that any move to amend the Constitution will only benefit Mrs. Arroyo. But they have been patient with this administration because they look forward to a change in leadership by 2010,” he said.
He said the opening prayer of Press Secretary Jesus Dureza last Tuesday imploring divine intervention for Arroyo to serve beyond 2010 aimed to gauge public opinion over the issue of term extension through Charter Change.
“Despite her protestations, Mrs. Arroyo was obviously tickled pink by the prayer,” Binay said.
“She is definitely looking forward to staying in Malacañang beyond 2010.”
Binay dismissed Palace assurances that Arroyo will leave office in 2010.
“Her underlings have been the ones saying she will step down, but if you judge by her body language last Tuesday, one will see that Mrs. Arroyo is confident of staying in power for a long time,” he said.
Senators said amending the Constitution before 2010 will not push through during the watch of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, an advocate of Charter change.
Sen. Francis Escudero, a member of the new majority, said changes in the Constitution should be made after President Arroyo’s term.
Enrile said he will not stop discussions on the Charter Change issue.
Enrile explained it is up to the people, and not senators alone, to make a judgment on whether Charter change is needed.
Senate President pro tempore Jinggoy Estrada said he would resign from the majority if Charter change is pursued in the Senate.
Dureza, in a statement, said: “The President was terribly upset with my prayer but after the Cabinet meeting she did not show much displeasure because I told her about my drowned out phrase ‘in her personal and private capacity.’ In hindsight it was a mistake on my part to subject the President to underserved flak. I take full responsibility and own up solely to the blame.” – Ashzel Hachero, JP Lopez and Jocelyn Montemayor
Ellen, talagang sinusubukan nila ang taungbayan a.
Now is the time for the people to spill out on the streets again in mammoth numbers and show Arroyo just how repugnant Chacha is.
We did it 1n 1997 when a huge cross-sectoral rally sent Tabako backpedaling from his intention to revise the Charter.
We can do it again.
Kababayan, lets put off the fire while it is still in its incipient stage. Should there be blood sacrificed this time, it will be much less compared to the sufferings if those evils are allowed to continue sucking the blood of the populace.
Gloria shrewdly realized that the Senate coup had thrown the opposition in disarray. Last Monday’s event was a very juicy steak served before Arroyo on a silver platter.
Eto na ang hinihintay nila. Now or never.
Quick! Nag-aaway away ang oposisyon, crank up the Chacha train’s engine pronto! Let’s railroad it before magka-bati ang mga yan.
now or never also for the people to stop these scoundrels.
Maganda na rin ang ganito para matuto tayo.
Masyado tayong nagtitiwala sa mga tao na laway lang ang puhunan.
Please tell me how is it desirable to install a Senate president who had repeatedly stated on record that he is for Charter Change and that he would not hinder, and in fact, encourage debates on the matter?
We need Enrile like we need a bullet in the head.
Sana naman si Pimentel na lang ang nilagay nila. Tsk tsk tsk.
Ping’s crab mentality successfully replaced Manny with Juan the Satan making the God of Satan in Malacanang laughing and saying, “we can now start dancing the cha-cha”. Invited guest are special members of the congress, senate, supreme court, ombudsman, cabinets, AFP and PNP. Strictly required – should be able to dance the cha-cha.
+ + + +
ONE WOMAN RULE? – that is how I now perceive the leadership of our country. She is a dictator (much worse than Hitler because she sucks the blood of her own people). She is now exercising absolute power over the legislative and judicial branch of the govenrment, the military and the ombudsman. Her favorite slogan on every project – WIIFM (What’s in it for me?).
The best sources of petty cash for the bakya, my crowd are the doleouts, cash from the politicians, all kinds so long as there is cold cash to buy the next meal. We follow what the church says, ask and you’ll receive even from the demons. What righteousness do we learn from school, tell that to de la Paz. We dont care anymore who will be up there. We hope and pray to catch the droppings. I have just quoted the drunk in my neighborhood while sharing me two tagays courtesy of a passersby.
Pag nakalusot ang CHA-CHA ang tuwa lang ni TABAKO, eh yan ang promotor ng lahat ng kaguluhan sa Pinas… si GMA eh puppet gov’t lang yan.
Matuto tayong bumasa ng istorya sa likod ng camera? Yong mga issues na pinag-uusapan ngayon eh script lang yan ng tunay na plano ng matandang si Tabako.
He is a master of manipulating people, west point graduate yan at genius yan sa psywar kaya kita nýo ang daming gimmick ng Malacanang.
Pero sa kabila nito milyos folks ang naibulsa na nila but heto nagkukumahog tayo na hanapin ang NAIBULSA na. Kaya maghabol tayo sa bulkang-mayon… eh naisahan na tayong lahat.
At least heto ang likot ng ating isipan upang pag-usapan ang kanilang katusuhan pero sila ngising ASO lamang….DEDMA di ba! Tuloy ang kanilang ligaya pero tayo heto high blood sa kahahanap ng truth.
Pinagtatawanan lang tayo ng mga kumag na yan, kaya matuto na tayong lahat!
It’s good to jog one’s memory once in a while. Here’s de Quiros reminding us who this Juan Ponce Enrile really is. Baka nakakalimutan na natin.

Sure ball Syria, ang galing mong mamili ng word… ito pang CRAB MENTALITY, eh pasasaan ka ba naman…kahit saang anggulo mo tingnan eh yan ang naglalarawan sa mentalidad ng Pinoy?
Mapasa Pinas o abroad ka, ang Pinoy (di lahat ha) eh yan ang ugali… sa halip na tulungan ka, hayon kaiingitan ka pa at ilalaglak ka sa era. Ang point ko dito, pag nakikita kang umaasenso sa buhay o sa larangan ng anumang bagay eh hahatakin ka pababa.
Lalo na sa Pinas, naku po ang dami nito na ganito ang ugali eh asal pa. Saan ka ba naman lulugar nito kung ganyan ng ganyan ang ugali ng mga nakararami nating kababayan?
Dapat sa atin magsimula ang lahat at lahat so saan man tayo idako ng ating pangyapak eh for sure marami tayong mababahaginan ng magandang pag-uugali.
Kaya ang crab mentality na yan eh ibaon na sa limot at harapin ang NGAYON upang umunlad ang ating bayan at pamumuhay.
Hangga’t ang Pinoy eh Pinoy na matigas ang ulo at walang paki sa kapwa-tao, itaga mo sa bato eh walang mangyayari sa ating bansa at lalo itong mangungulelat at lugmot sa dusa’t hirap.
In 1997, during the time of Tabako, people are free to rally, especially in Luneta.
Today, are we free to rally? Bansot learned a lot from the Chinese on how to prevent people from rallying like what happened in Beijing a long time ago.
If Erap supported Lacson in his bid to be Manila’s Mayor instead of Lim, there will be several rallies already all over Manila that might cause the fall of bansot. What we have now is Lim, who even supported bansot in coup d’etat. Then Erap forgiven him and supported him to be Mayor of Manila instead of Lacson. Tangang Erap talaga.
Thanks skip, maghahalukay pa ako ng baol upang muling sariwain itong unfinished business ni Grand old Enrile!
Kasama na kasing ibinaon sa limot ito kasama ni Apo Macoy pero heto parang nabuhay muli sa isang kislap ng mahabang buhay ni Tandang Enrile.
Ang masang-damo nga naman sabi ng matatanda eh tigasin, kita nýo Senate President pa siya ngayon… pero inggit yan kay Tabako (master of manipulator) kasi nga nasungkit niya ang pagkapangulo after Cory pero si Enrile ang pasimuno ng EDSA 1, nakisakay lang yang si Tabako kasi tapos ang lahi niya kay Apo Macoy.
No problem, Ka Balweg.
I missed your posts, too.
etcetera,
Korek ka… nong panahon ni Tabako eh tahimik ang Pinoy pati na ang MILF (alam mo ba yon). Bakit kamo? Eh ganito yon, PISO lang ang katapat nila kaya walang kontra…puro pabor.
Ikaw ba naman ang ipaghele ng Milyones eh pasasaan ka ba naman, syiempre NO COMMENT di ba. Kita mo ang MILF, di ba ginawang kuta yong mga highways na ipinagawa ni Tabako sa Mindanao. Sino ang nakatuklas di ba si Erap?
Ikaw ba naman ang mag-alaga ng buwaya at ahas sa Senado, Kongreso at Malacanang eh for sure walang kokontra dahil ang bagsik ng kamandag ng mga iyan.
Kita mo after na bumaba sa pwesto eh bangkarote ang Kabang-yaman ng Central Bank, buti pa nga si Erap ng sinipa ni GMA eh may naiwang pera milyones yon ha.
Eh itong si Tabako, alam mo ba kung saan yan nakatira? Kaya dapat di lamang tabloid kundi Malaya, The Daily Tribune ang binabasa natin at nandiyan ang tunay na estorya.
Ang hirap eh marami sa kababayan nating Pinoy ang pinagbababasa eh Tiktik at yong lakas tama para solve ang problema.
Pero ang tunay na issues eh dedma lamang…at least tayo eh heto busy sa kapipindot ng keyboard upang ipahayag ang ating damdamin at sama ng loob sa gobyernong Arroyo.
Tutal libre naman ito, kasi kung may service fee pa eh magtiktik na rin tayo.
Bago pa makarangkada ang Cha-Cha, dapat ay tanggalan na ng momentum. The civil society groups should by now be planning to do a pre-emptive rally against the cha-cha. Magpahayag lang kung kailan ang rally at sasali ako, mag iimbita pa ako ng mga kasamahan.
Hindi dapat maka-usad ang lintik na planong ito. kung talagang ayaw natin ng Cha-cha ay dapat mag-kaisa tayo at puntahan ang mga congreesmen at senators na iyan. Mas mabuti pa nga siguro, sa malacanang na tayo tumuloy, at paalisin ang Tiyanak na nakikitira doon! Kung ako ang masusnod, dapat ay gawing halimbawa itong tiyanak na ito. Pag Alsa ng taumbayan, dapat ay bitayin ng patiwarik ito, kasama ang kanyang pamilya at cohorts sa katiwalian. Upang maging ehemplo sa mga susunod na lider ng bansa. Puro na lang tayo hingapis! Nakakasawa na mag hinagpis, kailan ba tayo kikilos? Ilang ulit na tayong niyuyurakan ng Tiyanak na ito! Isama rin ang mga hinayupak na congressmen na makulit sa pag-papaandar ng Cha-cha train. Grrrrr…..
maydangalkaba… eh syiempre naman! WOW unique ang pen name mo pre!
Sama ko diyan ha… Batang EDSA III ito pre!
oo nga, come to think of it mas malayo pa ang narating ni tabako kesa kay manong johnny.
malas lang niya, patapos na ang political career niya, paalam na sa ambisyong maging pangulo ng pilipinas. pero at least kahit sa senado man lang natupad ang mga pangarap niya, nanalo siya sa kudeta at pagka-pangulo. hehe…
pero ang mga kongresista natin sinisipag ata, minamadaling mabasura ang impeachment habang simpleng ginagapang pala ang pagpasa sa cha-cha.
Nadale mo ginoray… kahit papaano eh naging Presidente din si manong Jonny, at least bago siya tumanggap ng diploma eh nakahirit pa siya.
Konting tiis na lang at marami na sa kanila ang magsisitanggap ng diploma sa Lord, ang kaso eh itong mga bagitong politiko natin ay naturuan na rin ng kawalang kwentang pamumuno (ex. si Tol Depensor eh ang bata pa eh sinungaling na, Zubiri…naman eh maupo lang sa pwesto eh natuto nang mandaya, Mr. Noted naman eh di mo malaman kung saan kampi, at iba pa).
Pakitang-tao lang yan ginoray, kasi nga sa oras na matigbak si bosing GMA nila eh makakasama silang maghihimas ng rehas na bakal.
Halos lahat sa kanila eh nakinabang kay GMA, kaya subsob ang ulo sa pagbasura ng impeachment complaint na yan. Ang takot lang nila sa JOKE JOKE controversy at iba pa?
In the final analysis, we are made to choose between one politician from the other, neither of which has caused tangible progress.
Unless we realized that we don’t need either of them, then the complaining will never stop.
Lesser evil or else to find young breed of leaders…wag na yong mga TRAPO, balimbing, at sinungaling SumpPit!
Pwede pa sina Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Father Among at yong new comer para sila naman baka sakaling magbago ang ihip ng hangin sa Pinas.
Marami namang respetadong Pinoy sa Pinas ang kaso ayaw pumalaot sa mundo ng pulitika.
balweg,
I voted for Bro. Eddie in 2004.
Will vote for him again if he decides to run.
skip,
Alternative medicine yan, ang kaso ang gusto ng Pinoy eh branded (i mean, yong kilalang TRAPO)…kaya heto di gumaling ang cancer ng ating lipunan.
Nakapanghihinayan nga eh sana si Bro. Eddie sana ang naging Presidente, ang kaso grabe talaga ang pagkatanga ng marami nating voters.
Kaya walang ibang dapat sisihin kundi ang mga kababayan natin na di marunong bumasa at umunawa sa gusto ng Lord.
He is a God-fearing Pinoy and he wanted to offer his self to serve the country but ang pinili nila eh si GMA kaya magtiis tayong lahat.
Dapat nga bawal magreklamo yong mga bumoto ka GMA at ang may karapatan lamang eh yong mga di nagsiboto.
Bring it on! We’ll see if the kapinuyan is again ready to make cho-chop of it’s unwanted leader (naglilider-lideran pala).
I posted many times that according to my reliable sources in Tongress, Gloria’s cha-cha has been well planned and ready to roll in time when Mike Pidal says so! Kung baga, tapos na yan sa Tongress, matagal na.
Those true oppositionists must get together ASAP and solidify their plans (kung meron), 2010 is not coming! Away pa kayo ng away sa Senado, bwisit!
Ellen,
Please send my heartfelt condolences to Capt. Ervin Divinagracia for the death of his loving wife, Marlyn.
My heart is heavy with sadness…
Ganito ba kahina ang Constitution natin na puwedeng palitan anytime na gusto ng mga makapangyarihan? Ayaw na nga ng mga tao sa kanya ipinaggigitgitan pa niya ang sarili. Ninakaw na nga at nandaya ngayon naman papalitan pa ang Saligang Batas. Dapat talaga sa kanya ay i-firing squad na. Sobra na .. Tama na!!!!!!
I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s GO ChaCha!!!
This is the time when powerful and influential religious groups should come in to stop this Cha-Cha. I’m referring particularly to INC for the group has earlier opposed the Cha-Cha. Either Manalo has changed his mind or the Evil Bitch already got INC’s clearance.
We MUST stop the train!!!!!!!!!!!
Inside sources, and that’s on record, that the Evil Bitch fears and listens more to INC’s Manalo than other religious leaders. Even Marcos and Erap used to seek advice from Manalo. So, if INC still opposes Cha-Cha, there’s no way it will succeed.
gma is unwanted and unloved. yet she won’t go away and the people could not get rid of her. what a sorry state we are in.it is not enough that pinoys must live in utmost poverty, we are being led by people we do not like, never liked and will never ever like.
80% ng Pinoy kontra ChaCha. – Ibon foundation survey
Nagpipilit ang reyna ng korapsyon! Ni hindi ko maikumpara sa hayop ang maligna na yan!
20 November 2008
Just spoken to one young congressman, who is a son of a former senator, who told me that the evil bitch and the hoods are really going and drawing up their big guns for the charter change and we should be ready for everything.
I’m sorry ms. ellen, but I think it is the right time for all pinoys to wake up and to make the move for a change in the leadership. Time is of the essence. We should act now before the evil bitch and the hoods gets the upper hand in changing the constitution.
The time to change the leadership is NOW!!!!
prans
It’s coming to a head.
This is from ABS-CNNEWS.COM :
Business leaders join 5 Catholic bishops, call for ‘new governance’
by CARMELA FONBUENA, abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak | 11/20/2008 10:13 PM
The country’s top business groups—the Makati Business Club (MBC) and the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP)—on Thursday issued a statement supporting the earlier call of five Catholic church leaders for a “new government.”
Echoing the five bishops’ statement that “the time to prepare a new government in now”, the business groups’ said: “We should now prepare for a new kind of governance.”
“We support the call of the five senior bishops led by Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo that the time for radical reforms to rebuild our country economically, socially and politically, and to conquer complacency, cynicism and apathy, is now,” the business groups said.
skip,
Di ako mapalagay… kahit na si Pontio Pilato ang iluklok sa Malacanang, eh walang mangyayari sa Pinas.
Hangga’t ang Pinoy eh watak-watak at walang pagkakaisa eh malabong mangyari ang pinawagan ng mga pinagpipitaganan nating Bishops.
Malapit na kasi ang 2010 eh ngayon pa sila hihirit…nasaan sila during oakwood at Makati sieges? Ang tagal ng naghihimas ng rehas na bakal sina Hon. Trillanes, Gen. Lim, Gen. Miranda, Col. Querubin at iba pa eh bakit di nila tinulungan ang mga pobre?
Dapat munang ayusin ng Simbahan Katoliko ang kanilang hanay kasi nga di ba halos lahat ng mga nakaupo sa gobyernong Arroyo, Korte Suprema, Senado, Kongreso at iba pa eh mostly Catholic believers except Tabako.
So, dapat turuan muna nila ng good moral character and right conduct ang mga pasaway na yan at pagkatapos manyanita para magsipagsisi ng kanilang mga kasalanan.
Finally, tapos ang problema dahil newly born again ang mga sakit ng ulo na yan ng lipunan.
Naku po pranning…sumaryosep, saan man natin daanin ang lahat ng ito eh di ako mapalagay dahil ang daming pilosopo tasio sa ating bayan.
Di ba Pinoy din ang bumaril kay Rizal, Ninoy at biktima ng extra judicial killings sa panahong ito?
balweg,
Tama ka sa puntong yan. The bishops must be scratching their heads wondering why their flock doesn’t seem to be as responsive as in the good old days.
Well, I hate to break it to those old guys but dammit — they certainly took their sweet time building up their indignation at Arroyo’s corruption and when they did finally work up the moxie it was too little, too late.
They’ve got to do some serious spring cleaning. Times like these I miss Cardinal Sin.
But I’ll take whatever good news that comes my way. Especially that inquirer.net has reported this troubling piece of news:
IN CONGRESS
Arroyo son leads Charter change move
By Gil C. Cabacungan Jr.
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:01:00 11/20/2008
MANILA, Philippines—Charter change is gathering steam in the House of Representatives with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s eldest son, Pampanga Representative Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo personally leading a signature drive to amend the Constitution through a constituent assembly (Con-Ass).
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20081120-173418/Arroyo-son-leads-Charter-change-move
Please tell me how is it desirable to install a Senate president who had repeatedly stated on record that he is for Charter Change and that he would not hinder, and in fact, encourage debates on the matter?
We need Enrile like we need a bullet in the head.
Sana naman si Pimentel na lang ang nilagay nila. Tsk tsk tsk. – skip
Skip, it is also on record that Pimentel has a pending bill and/or resolution calling for debates on charter change to federalize the system.
Paano ngayon iyan?
balweg,
I’m for prioritizing what we mostly needed for our country now.
First and foremost is to take Gloria down! This tsug-tsug might unite the pinoys that would pave the way for making the needed changes easier.
Glad you’re blogging again.
As for me, it does not matter now who heads the Senate. In time, the people will do the cleansing for them.
We’re really slow to anger, aren’t we?
If Filipinos do not take to the streets over this fresh attempts to change the Constitution, then we’re pretty much a hopeless case.
I’m for taking this fight to the streets ASAP. If the Senators keep on bickering and believing that 2010 will come, let them fight over nothing. Soon they’d found out that they have no more grand offices.
From Pimentel’s own website:
“.
Read the whole article here.
And this one, which the same website published just this Nov. 2:
The whole article is here.
Pimentel is even more actively working for charter change!
I will go with chi who says that priorities must be clearly defined now. And that is the removal of Gloria, nothing less. Villar won’t do it. Tell me I’m crazy but I hope Enrile will.
I don’t trust Enrile but I don’t trust Pimentel either. He is either too gullible or too old, playing patay-mali or in cahoots?
balweg, pareng katoliko ang nagpapatay kay Rizal ( alam mo ba yon).
Alam mo ba na binigyan pa ng brown envelope yong Spanish Governor ng pareng katoliko para lang ma firing squad si Rizal.
Tongue,
Yup, I don’t trust Enrile, I don’ trust Pimentel. That being said, I’m 100% percent for another mass action.
I’m hoping that the well-meaning Senators are talking among themselves on plans aligning themselves with the true will of the people.
Kailangang mag rally na ang mga pinoy. Paano makakapag rally ang mga pinoy eh bawal dahil kasabwat ni bansot si Lim. Tangang Erap talaga.
Dapat ang mga anti-bansot ay at least mag umpisang ng mag ingay laban sa cha cha. Si Binay lang ang nag iingay laban kay bansot, wala ng iba pa. Tahimik ang lahat ng anti-bansot, anong ibig sabihin nito, ok lang?
Tongue,
You know as well as I do what the real issue is: lifting of term limits.
You also probably know that Pimentel was furious when Malacanang tried to hijack his proposal by inserting its nefarious agenda.
—————————————————=
from http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080813-154315/Senators-Arroyo-riding-on-Pimentels-federalism-bill
Hours after Malacañang’s announcement, an irate Pimentel took the floor to dispel what he called “misconceptions” that the President would compel the constituent assembly (Con-ass) that he had proposed to push for federalism and in the process extend her term beyond 2010.
“I’d rather resign from the chamber rather than do it on the sly,” said Pimentel, the self-styled father of federalism in the country. “President Arroyo is not in my equation.”
Pimentel stressed that it would be “100-percent impossible” for the President to extend her term in the Con-ass because, based on his proposal, the Senate and the House of Representatives would vote separately on the constitutional amendments.
Someone should sound the clarion call already. I am itching for some street action just about now.
balweg, yong pareng katolikong nagpapatay kay Rizal ay hindi pinoy kundi pure blooded Spanish friar.
Re: Sen. Pimentel’s proposal: the Senate and the House of Representatives would vote separately on the constitutional amendments.
The next battleground if GMA Cha-Cha Express pushes thru in the House of Reprenta-thieves will be at the Supreme Court. GMA’s Supreme Court shall decide in favor to their Queen Gloria.
Sino ba ang bumaril kay Rizal etcetera? Di ba gurdia civil na Pinoy if i’m not mistaken sa history! Kung di Pinoy eh absent siguro ako sa history at that time….pls. correct me if i’m wrong ha.
However well-meaning Pimentel may be, he is sending his followers (millions who voted for him) the wrong signal.
Okay, let’s say Pimentel becomes senate president and he musters the numbers who will approve a no term limit-lifting constitution via con-ass or concon. Can he stop the bastards in the Lower House from pursuing their agenda? They alternatively propose a federal form via a parliamentary system which is the obvious by-product as a quid pro quo to get Pimentel’s support. No amount of “100 percent impossible” guarantees, especially coming from him, would convince me otherwise. Talk is cheap.
Notice that the second article I linked was made just this month during the Congress’ All Souls’ Day recess.
He better shut his trap.
On a lighter note, I was reading Buencamino’s article at Uniffors that made me ROTFLMFAO.
“Maybe I should feel sorry for Mrs. Arroyo and her family, especially her husband. That poor, recovering heart patient, an honorable and charitable man, according to his lawyer, gets blamed for everything when all he wants to do is distribute dentures to those who have nothing to eat. (I know it sounds like donating running shoes to amputees, but, hey, it’s the purity of intention that counts.)”
Bwahahaha!
Between someone who fought Martial Law and someone who implemented Martial Law, I’d take my chances with the former.
DKG,
Cha-cha lang ang front ng mga sobra sa pansin nating mambabatas, but their real intention is to amend the constitution para baguhin ang form of gov’t at maging Federal system tayo.
Pag si Pimentel eh mag kibit-balik sa issue na ito eh for sure kakutsaba yan ng mga kongresista sa kanilang binabalak na cha-cha kuno?
Ang tunay na issue eh to change the bicameral to Federal form of gov’t para sila-sila ang maghahariharian sa kanilang mga balwarte.
Sundan natin ang mga susunod na pangyayari…
Good night, people.
I think the next few days will be very interesting.
balweg, ngayon lang ako nakarinig o nakabasa na may pinoy na guardia civil noong panahon ni Rizal. Saan mo nakuha yan?
Hindi lang simpleng amendment ang gusto ni Gloria. Total revision of the 1987 Constitution.
etcetera,
My resource site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Rizal
“Moments before his execution by a firing squad of Filipino native infantry, backed by an insurance force of Spanish troops, the Spanish surgeon general requested to take his pulse; it was normal.
Aware of this, the Spanish sergeant in charge of the backup force hushed his men to silence when they began raising ‘¡vivas!’ with the partisan crowd. His last words were that of Jesus Christ: “consummatum est”,–it is done.[25][2][26]
See! Ganyan din ang nangyari sa panahon ng Hapon, di ba yong mga MAKAPILI eh naging tirador nila laban sa mga gerilyang Pinoyski.
Makapili (Makabayan Katipunan Ñg Mga Pilipino or Alliance of Philippine Patriots) was a militant group formed in the Philippines during World War II to give military aid to Japan[1]. Organised by Benigno Ramos and Artemio Ricarte, they were born out of José P. Laurel’s refusal to conscript Filipinos for Japan.[2] The Japanese decreed that the group should be founded in November 1944 when they brought together many of the supporters of the defunct Ganap Party.[3] Like Ganap its main area of support was Metro Manila, although Makapili established chapters across the islands, attracting some support.[4]
After the war the group was vilified for its involvement in some Japanese outrages on the islands and individual members faced trials for treason as a result.[
DKG,
Dios por Santo! Do you mean na ang tutuldok sa pagbabago ng ating Saligang Batas eh si Pandak and cohorts, humingi na lang tayo ng asylum sa kanino mang bansa na gusto tayong ampunin.
Kung may Makapili noong panahon ng Hapon, pero ngayon Makasarili. Masmasahol sila dahil ubos ang kaban ng bayan.
Tumpak ka DKG… kung may tagaturo noong panahon ng Hapon eh may taga-abot naman ng milyones ngayon.
balweg, ok let say that the author of wikipedia is correct, that the filipino infantry pulled the trigger. They were just following orders from Spanish Governor General and Catholic friars.
Basahin mo to na translated na sa tagalog:
Ang asawa ni Rizal na si Josephine Bracken ang nagpatotoo nang siya’y makarating sa Hongkong na ganito ang sabi:
“Sa mga pahayag ni Gng. Josephine Bracken, balo ng bayaning si Dr. Jose Rizal, na ipinagkaloob sa mga reporter ng pahayagang THE CHINA MAIL at nailathala nong 29 ng Mayo 1897 ay kabilang ang ganitong salaysay:
“Nakagawa ng malaking kasalanan si Polavieja sa Diyos at sa kasaysayan noong ika-30 ng Disyembre 1896. Suriin ninyo kung maipatatawad ang mga kasalanan niyang ito: Ipinapatay niya ang aking asawa, Dr. Rizal na walang kasalanan kundi ang umibig sa kanyang bayan; at sa pagpatay na ito ay napalakip pa ang isang mabigat na sagutin niya, dili iba kundi ang pagkatanggap ng suhol na anim na pung libong pisong mehikano
(60,000) sa kamay ng Arsobispo na siyang nangilak noon sa mga samahang relihiyosa upang matiyak nila na hindi babaguhin ni Polavieja ang hatol ng Hukumang digmang patayin ang aking asawa.”
Ang Iglesia Katolika sa katauhan ni Arsobispo Nozaleda ang nagpapatay kay Dr. Jose Rizal. Sumuhol pa ng 60,000 pisong mehikano sa Gobernador Heneral na si Polavieja upang matiyak na maipapatay si Rizal. Kaya ang Iglesia Katolika ay tiyak na kriminal.
Cardinal Sin was alive when two legitimate presidents were ousted; but is now dead when the fake president MUST be ousted.
Marami pa akong ma i po post pero inaantok na ako…..good night
Sarap murahin ng mga mokong at ungas na pinaupo ng mga pilipino sa kanilang Congress. OK lang sanang palitan iyong Saligang Bansot ng Pilipinas pati na iyong ipinairal na batas mula noong 1986 na napatunayang palpak. Ibalik na lang iyong Saligang Batas noong 1946 at pag-aralang mabuti ng mga pilipino na mapatino ang bansa nila.
Best, sipain na si Gloria Magnanakaw. Puede ba? Ang linaw-linaw naman na walang ginawang matino ang pandak ng babae who is short of everything, bakit hindi pa iyan sipain pati na iyong mga unggoy na humahalik sa puwit niya in exchange for the envelopes that she fills up with her loots!
Kawawang Pilipinas!
etcetera, i have no questions who was the mastermind of the death of Dr. Jose Rizal, but what i’m pointing out is…sino ang bumaril? Ang linaw di ba…Pinoy din, yan ang problema natin sa ngayon… Pinoy against Pinoy, ang sakit tagus hanggang buto.
Rizal’s Last Hours (refer to source site: http://www.joserizal.ph/lh01.html)
Dec. 29, 1896. 6:00 – 7:00 a.m.
Sr. S. Mataix asks Rizal’s permission to interview him. Capt. Dominguez reads death sentence to Rizal. Source of information: cablegram of Mataix to EL Heraldo De Madrid, “Notes” of Capt. Dominguez and Testimony of Lt. Gallegos.
Dec. 30, 1986. @7:00 – 7:03am
Sounds of guns. Rizal vacillates, turns halfway around, falls down backwards and lies on the ground facing the sun. Silence. Shouts of vivas for Spain.
Vacillates means, To sway from one side to the other.
Ibig sabihin di niya matanggap na ang babaril sa kanya eh kapwa Pinoy din, okey lang kung Kastilaloy pero kapwa Pinoy ang ginamit nila para nga naman iwas-pusoy.
grizzy, tumatanggap ba ng ayawkona asylum sa inyong bansa? Baka naman pwede eh pa ampon na kami, wala lang!
Eh kung ganito ng ganito ang magsisiupo sa ating gobyerno eh saan tayo hahangtong nito.
Puro pasakit at hirap, pero sila nagwawaldas ng pera ng Bayan.
Ang daming Pinoy ang walang makain 3x a day pero sila ang kakapal ng mukz eh kung maglamyerda sa ibang bansa eh gagamitin pang alibi ang official foreign trips.
Gahaman talaga, wala ng takot sa Dios!
Sulbatz,
I agree very much with a cha-cha.
Everything is wrong, so we need to change every bit of it. Once I get to the concon, I will try to abolish religion in all aspect of governance including prayers made by officials. Next is to abolish ranks. Equal ranks, equal pay. Pareho lang naman ang mga lalamonan. Land to the foreigners? Good idea. Give all the CARP lands to them. Total, tamad naman mga may CLOWA. Lalo tayong nagutom.
OK lang Val, basta hindi cha-cha ni Gloria! When she’s gone, then I’m all for introduction of the much needed amendments to the Constitution. NOT in Gloria’s time, sipain muna sya!
Well if mickey mouse was able to engineer tengang daga’s ouster, he can definitely navigate the cha cha train again. Yan lang naman ang dahilan kaya pinalitan si tengang daga ni nognog eh. Ang mga makaadmin na mga representathieves ay hindi na iboboto ng mga tao kaya gusto na nilang mapasama sa parliament ni evil bitch para tuloy tuloy ang mga termino nila. It is all about greed and power and not a semblance of serving the people! Nasarapan sila sa “brown bags” all the time kaya ngayon eh pataas ng pataas ang presyo nila. Kung si Big Joke eh 3 hanggang 5 milyon lang ang ibinigay sa election na pang 6 na taon lang, ang presyo ng boto sa cha-cha ay di hamak na malaki! Panghabangbuhay na puwesto ito! Lahat ng mga kasalukuyang tongressmen at mga senatong ang mismong tatao sa parliament ni midget! Wow! Hindi na matatanggal sa pwesto si evil bitch kasi tuwing may gustong tumanggal sa kanya, sila sila rin ang boboto sa kanya at yung mga nasa parliament ang may kapangyarihang gumawa nun. Eh di siyempre sila sila na lang ang magbobotohan. Tutunganga na lang ang mga Pilipino. If you ask me, the fence sitters really deserve what the evil bitch is doing to them! They installed her in her position and no one wants to even take her out from her position now inspite of all her crimes to the people! Ang kawawa nga lang ay ang karamihan ng mga tao na wala nang makain. Habang tuloy tuloy ang hirap ng mga tao, tuloy ang ligaya ng mga hoodlums!
Mickey has grown from a Mouse to a Horse!
I totally agree with Chi, the priority is to take out the EvilBitch_the root cause of all this anxiety. Then, yes, the people would do the cleanup of both houses, the self serving Tongress and Senate.
We, the people, should be picketing Congress, instead of waiting for their pronouncements. As, when they have made the voting (or counting of numbers), we, the people, might not be able to stop it any lonegr. What is happening and what has happened, is that we are REACTIVE, we should be more PRO-ACTIVE. Lets go on the offence_once and for all, and be on the defensive side as what has been happening.
PICKET CONGRESS
NOT be on the defensive side…as what has been happening….
If the chacha process starts now concon or conass, it wont be done on 2010 election day. Whether there would be election or not, in both cases, the mechanics of the law wont extend the term of PGMA. The law of succession takes over. So there’s should be no apprehension at all. Rush the conass? That can only happen through a coup d’etat from the top.
Allow me to refresh all of us here that according to a General in the Palace, “Di natin ibibigay ‘to ng walang laban.”
Therefore, if real and meaningful change is what we want, Peaceful Revolution is never an option. We’ve done that so many times before, and not everybody came.
Sigawan sa kalsada… sindi ng kandila… kantahan… kantiyawan… colorful flags… bold-inscribed banners and placards – all of these cannot evict a cunning vicious Criminal who’s willing to fight it out to the finish.
So let’s make up our minds about the methods and the specific goals by which we must proceed.
Dapat specific at detalyado ang layunin; di mga bulaklaking kataga na may halong pag-alinlangan (paraan upang makalusot sa legal consequence kung sakaling di magtagumpay). Dapat all the way sa salita at aksyon.
Kung makumbinsi natin ang mga tao sa object ng pag-alsa, baka darating sila.
At saka sa susunod na pag-alsa, dapat hayaan ng mga taga-media na makapagsalita ng maayos ang mga namumuno upang malinaw na marinig ang mensahe para sa Bayan… dahil magulo kayo, noong Peninsula Seige.
Don’t forget what Sen. Trillanes said in Oakwood:
“If people don’t come to support us, then we all deserve Gloria Arroyo”.
They did it again in Manila Pen, still no one came. But they voted for him despite the odds.
There are true patriots ready to die for the cause but those who shall be the beneficiaries aren’t even showing up.
Pinoys have just turned revolutions into a spectator sport. A nation of 90 million cowards and one evil bitch.
Ang saklap!
Gaya nito, dito lang yata sa Elleville ang agresibo na maitumba si Gloria.
