Matindi ang kahulugan ng “Araw ng mga Bayani” ngayon dahil nakikita natin kung paano binabastos ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang asawa at kanilang mga alagad ang saligang batas na nagbubuo ng diwa ng ating sambayanan.
Maraming buhay ang nabuwis para maitaguyod natin ang ating demokrasya at ito ay bastas-basta na lang niyuyurakan ni Arroyo para lamang patuloy isyang manaitli sa kanyang ninakaw na kapangyarihan.
Noong Huwebes, naglabas ng mensahe si Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim na ngayon ay nakakulong dahil nanindigan siya ng ilang beses laban sa mga katiwalian ni Arroyo. Tawag nga ni Lim kay Arroyo ay “pekeng presidente.”
Sabi ni Lim, “Ang kapayapaan, pagkaisa at pag-unlad ay hindi natin nakakampatan dahil and namumuno sa atin hindi lehitimo sa moralidad at sa legalidad. Siya ang pinakamalaking banta sa ating seguridad at pagkaka-isa.”
“Ang totoong lider ay simbolo ng pagkakaisa at nagpapatnubay sa atin sa oras ng kagipitan. Ang bogus na lider ay ugat ng pagaaway at kaguluhan.”
Marami sa ating kababayan ay sadlak sa kahirapan. Nabubuhay ang administrasyon ni Arroyo sa katas ng pagpa-alipin ng mga Pilipino sa ibang bayan. At ito ay pinagyayabang pa ni Arroyo.
Sa paggunita ng kabayanihan ng ating mga ninuno, sabi ni Lim, dapat nang kumilos ang sambayanang Pilipino para mabawi ang kanilang dignidad at patalsikin ang pekeng pangulo para maisulong ang kaunlaran na maari lamang makamtan kung ang lider ay nagpapahalaga ng katotohanan at hustisya.
“Ang panawagan ngayon ay hindi lamang para makinig kung di mag martsa,Panahon na para tayo’y magkapit-bisig at kumilos,” sabi ni Lim.
Kahapon ay isang taong anibersaryo ng insidente sa Manila Peninsula. Maala-ala natin na nagwalkout sa hearing ng Oakwood mutiny sina Lim , Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV at iba pang Magdalo na opisyal kabilang sina Capt. Nick Faeldon, Capt. Gary Alejano, LTSGs James Layug, Manuel Cabichan, Eugene Gonzales, Andy Torrato; LTJG Arturo Pascua, 1Lt Billy Pascua; 2LT Jonnel Sanggalang and Armand Pontejos.
Ilan lamang sila sa mga nagmartsa mula Makati City Hall hanggang sa Manila Pen kung saan ipinahayag nila ang kanilang paninindigan laban sa katiwalian ng administrasyong Arroyo.
Alam na natin ang nangyari. Nabitin sa ere ang mga magigiting na sundalo dahil ang hindi nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob ang karamihan sa atin. Kaya tuloy ang kurakutan sa kaban ng bayan at pagyurak sa ating Saligang Batas.
Pinakita nina Lim at Trillanes na handa silang magsakrispisyo para sa taumbayan. Hanggang ngayon nakakulong sila. Kayo?
We know why the Manila Pen failed. The help as promised did not come. Many were supposed to join that would have led to the ouster of the Evil Bitch; but it didn’t happen. Today, who would be brave to repeat it again? Edsa 1 & 2 is already a history. Unless we have a leader, there won’t be any support from the masses. A leader is badly needed at this time. Susan Roces has long refused to be the leader. Because had she chosen to be, Gloria would have long been gone. There’s one option left…we need to knock Washington’s door. An emissary should convince the US to support this last People Power. The current US Ambassador to the Philippines cannot be relied upon. All that she feeds to Washington are the good things about Arroyo which are all lies. Opposition groups in the US must play an active role to shake Washington into considering removing the Evil Bitch.
With due respect to our bloggers based in the US (Cocoy, Rose, Chi…), why don’t you do something from that side?
Those who are aspiring to be a president bakit hindi sila ang mamuno BE? How about Binay?
Philippine bogus President Gloria Arroyo allowed the continued stay of U.S. Special Forces in Mindanao Island is the main reason why lameduck U.S. President Bush still support her corrupt regime. She is playing Bush card’s global war on terrorism. Naloko niya si Uncle Sam.
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/10/02/08/mindanao-focus-us-southeast-asia-peace-and-stability
If it cannot be done in the Philippines, it may be done in the US. America is sensitive to public opinion. Opposition groups in the US and those who believe in this crusade should tell Washington that it’s high time to remove the Evil Bitch who continues to destroy the Philippines. I believe one of the missing links is America’s consent to remove her. Once the US gives signal that she’s unhappy with the Bitch, our local groups and military would be more brave to launch an all out movement to finally oust Gloria.
I share Diego’s opinion. It’s precisely my point and the reason why the US looks the other way despite knowing the tremendous discontent of the people toward the Evil Bitch. The Bitch has given all what Uncle Sam has wanted. From history, the US is willing to support an evil leader as long as America’s interests continue to be protected. That’s why our Fil-Ams in the US could be of great help if they also do something over there.
Obama will be inducted the 20th of January. He is too busy putting his cabinet together. Ni pagtawag nga kay evil bitch hindi niya maasikaso (or maybe he simply ignored her).
Personally, I doubt if replacing the evil bitch is the right thing to do now. I think what is more importatnt is to make sure that the congress will not convene to push through with the con-ass. Once they start altering the constitution, who knows what her representathieves will do? We saw how they dumped the impeachment. Can it be any different with the con-ass? If the evil bitch will be taken out though, Noli “kabayad” will replace her and when he does, he will be able to run for reelectiopn again doing the same thing the evil bitch did, using the peoples’ money to widely rig the elections. So, the rally should be centered on rerailing the charter change train!
BE, Obama would like to see the 2010 elections push through instead of booting out the evil bitch now. But just like all of us, he wants us to make sure that the evil bitch will not extend her term by fooling around with the constitution. Itong charter change ang mas mahalagang bantayan!
Once the 2010 candidates start the campaign wagon, titigil na ang kalokohan ni evil bitch! Kelan ba maguumpisa ang registration ng mga kandidato?
With less than two years to go, replacing the Evil Bitch may appear to be a bad idea. Nevertheless, allowing her to stay one more day could mean another day of destruction. We cannot allow an evil to remain even an hour. If she’s not removed now, anything could happen between now and 2010. She WILL try all means to remain in power. We could wait after Obama is installed as President. I know Obama doesn’t tolerate such an evil in the Philippines. Obama cannot do anything as of now because Bush is still the President. However, Obama should be informed about all the events in the Philippines so that he could make a sound decision after January 20, 2009.
Unless the evil bitch and the kabayad will be taken out together and an interim government will be created and a snap election done immediately, para lang natin ginawa yung re-enactment ng pagupo ni evil bitch nung 2001. Magiging mahaba na naman ang pagaantay natin sa pagtapos ng rule ni kabayad. Yun ba talaga ang gusto natin? Knowing how the kabayad is too close to the evil bitch, do we really want him to be the president?
Correction above: Not rerailing but derailing the charter change train.
Unfortunately, Obama has many other more important things to do than attending to the issue of the Evil Bitch. With the recent Mumbai terror attack and the threat from terrorists, Obama would focus on these things. But since there are also Muslim extremists in the Philippines, I’m sure Obama is also aware of the importance of RP’s security and future. He doesn’t want to see another trouble in the Philippines. The smartest thing to do is to activate the CIA operatives in coordination with the local opposition groups including the military in removing Gloria. Amboys like FVR, Gringo would obey Uncle Sam’s instruction.
Patalsikin muna si Gloria at pagkatapos palitan ang saligang batas. Siya ang isyu ngayon wala ng iba.
The US doesn’t actually have to do anything. She could allow the Filipino people to remove the Bitch. The problem is the US continues to protect the Bitch. Remember Gringo’s group during those coups against Cory? If the US did not interfere, Cory would have been removed. But no…while Gringo’s group was attacking, US fighter jets were flying above the rebel soldiers.
DKG,
Di na kailangang patalsikin ang illegitimate President kasi wala naman siyang mandate sa sambayanang Pinoy, so ang kailangan natin eh buhatin yan palabas ng Malacanang by peacefull means or else ang last option by force ang tigas ng ulo.
Ang kaso sakit ng ulo ang iba nating kababayan na still supporting her stolen power? Ang problema natin eh yaong mga kapwa nating Pinoy na walang paki sa bayan at kapwa-tao.
Ang kailangan nating lahat eh ayusin muna natin ang ating hanay kasi ang daming balakid kaya di tayo magtagumpay lahat sa labang ito.
Ang pagkakaisa nating lahat ang best solution at we need to settle ALL our differences para magtagumpay!
If anyone has the details of the march tomorrow, I would appreciate you posting it. I’m hoping to fix my schedule so I can be at this protest action.
EVICT THE SQUATTER!
BE,
Ang watak-watak na kaisipan ng Pinoy at kanya-kanyang personal interest sa bayan ang tisod sa tunay na pagkakaisa ng sambayanang Pinoy?
Masyadong malalim na ang problemang pangpulitaka sa ating bansa…at halos lahat ng sector ng ating lipunan e envolve at nakisawsaw na rin upang isalba ang bayan.
There is ONLY one solution to solve and fix our political divisiveness?
Declare our WITHDRAWAL of Support to GMA once and for ALL! Tapos ang problema or else magtiis tayong lahat till 2010.
No exception…dapat lahat ng sector sa ating lipunan…magdeklara ng AYAW NA, ALIS NA SA MALACANANG! Pag nagmatigas e sunduin sa Malacanang at itaboy palabas. Di makuha sa isang salita e, masyadong mapurol ang pag-iisip.
The problem is a president or head of the state of our country has so much power to appoint people and the power of the purse! The latter is the worst because a leader who wants to stay in power forever can easily use the money of the people to bribe and finance all movements to perpetuate her/his stay. After the evil bitch is kicked out, the constitution really needs an overhaul to look into the power given to the head of the state.
“Ang totoong lider ay simbolo ng pagkakaisa at nagpapatnubay sa atin sa oras ng kagipitan. Ang bogus na lider ay ugat ng pagaaway at kaguluhan.” -BGen Danny Lim
Direct hit ang pekeng presidente!
Be,
which reminds me, the US Embassy in Manila’s unkind words on De Castro’s ability to lead the country post-Gloria, for which Amb. Mussomeli was recalled and later, such dossier was also the subject of Michael Ray Aquino’s and Aragoncillo’s espionage convictions, I could make one conclusion: If the US will allow Arroyo’s overthrow, De Castro must fall with her.
And that cannnot happen if the choice of modality is a constitutional one.
Which leaves us with one option – people power.
BE, it is unfortunate that the media all over the world has been so whitewashed that our kababayans do not actually get the real score. In my travels in different countries, the first thing I usually do is find a Filipino restaurant and a store. Then I immediately find the local paper. Most of the news are all the exact opposite of what really goes on in the Philippines. The evil bitch must spend so much to deodorize her image in the international media. Then, the appointees of the evil bitch to key positions (ambassadors etc..) are mostly her allies. In a structured government like the US, these appointees unfortunately are the conduits of feedbacks etc. It is structured that way. This is why in the US, there is “orde”r for the most part. Even the officers of organizations are mostly immigrants from way back then and politics in the Philippines is last on their list. I know so because I had been in those positions quite a while back. These officers are rarely into our Philippine politics at all!
Correct. Cabinet members, department heads, Judges, Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan and Supreme Court Justices are all presidential appointees. Is there anything left? How could she not remain in power?
Sasama ang aking pamilya sa panawagang kapit-bisig ni Gen. Lim sa Araw ng mga Bayani.
Mabuhay Gen. Lim!
Mabuhay Sen. Sonny Trillanes!
Mabuhay Kapitan Nick and fellow Magdalos!
You will never be forgotten!
Kahit anong mode of action, basta mapatalsik ang lintek na animal na pekeng presidente!
Tongue, exactly my poin too. Unless the evil bitch and the kabayad are taken out together, we are just repeating the 2001 scenario where the kabayad will be the president and then he can run again and rig the 2010 elections and we will be stuck with him for one full term!
People power looks like the only option but the people must have learned the lesson that we really did not have good presidents installed by the EDSAS. Maybe an INTERIM government with a subsequent snap elections will be the route to go.
Koronahan sandali si Justice Puno, tapos ay snap elections. Palagay ko ay walang tututol dyan.
I’d like to see CJ Puno being the caretaker until all vestiges of Arroyo’s corrupt government are dismantled.
I will even go for a “constitutional reboot”, an idea espoused by the indefinitely-suspended Erap lawyer which may include the invalidation of all decrees, laws, orders, contracts, and agreements signed with the imprimatur of Gloria, whether directly of implied.
Many will not agree but I can also allow Erap to be restored to complete his “ilegally interrrupted” term in order to delete from official history the the seven-year period when the country operated outside of its constitution.
Or just maybe incapacitate the evil bitch so she can not prolong her term while we go through the automated elections. It is just barely a year and a half from now. Bantayan na lang natin na hindi na siya makagawa ng paraan na maupo pa sa pwesto beyond 2010. Again, when will the presidential registration of candidates begin? Once we start with the campaigns, mawawala na yung speculation that this bitch will do anything to prolong her stay in power.
What are the Lakas,Kampi,NP etc doing to prevent this evil bitch from preventing the 2010 elections? Aren’t most of them in Congress too? It is time for these representathieves to assert their positions. Maybe instead of the US immigrants lobbying Obama to do something to prolong the evil bitches’ term, why wont the local folks lobby hard to their local representathieves to shake them up. Write or lobby or submit a petition with the local folks’ signatures to oppose the charter change.
I agree with you, Tongue. Constitutional reboot is a very good idea for me. As for Erap, we can be open and mature in dealing with this with the guidance of the well-meaning constitutionalists and supreme court justices.
Unless we can produce a million bodies on the street or have a bloody revolution to boot the illegal president, we can not go ahead and install somebody else in Malacanang. Unless somebody who is so constitutionally brilliant can maneuver the way through a constitutional change to remove the evil bitch and the kabayad. Or maybe, a coup from within where both the evil bitch and the kabayad will be taken out together. Then and only then can we be assured that we can again start anew in the choice of a leader.
Ps’B,
Simulan nating awitan ang mga pinagpiputaganan nating Militar at Kapulisan SOLVE ang problema…simple lang kung right now and then, mag withdraw ng support ang buong Sandatahang Lakas ng Pinas e walang magagawa si GMA.
Kailangang haranahin nating silang lahat, kasi nga kung walang suporta ng militar eh malabong mangyari ang iniisip nating pagbaba ni GMA sa poder ng kapangyarihan.
May pamilya din silang nagugutom at apektado ng kawalang direksyon ng gobyernong Arroyo.
Halina mga kababayang Militar at Kapulisan damhin natin ang panambitan ng mga kaluluwang naghahanap ng hustisaya at pagbabago ng Inang Bayan.
Kilos na hangga’t may panahon pa sapagka’t lumilipas ang mga araw na lalong nabuburyong ang Pinoy sa paghanap ng tamang panglunas sa cancer na kumikitil sa marami nating kababayan.
Maawa po kayo sapagka’t sa inyo iniatang na ipagtanggol ang mga naaaping mamamayan!
Kamiý nag-aantay sa inyong AWA at pagkalinga.
If Erap really wants to return as President not only to vindicate himself but to put this country in order, fine. He could be President for three years and then turn over it to his Vice President for the remaining three years. Actually, this is Erap’s idea. He just wants to show the people that he was illegally ousted and he could unite the people to put this country in order. It’s imperative that he asks SC’s clarification on his possible legal impediment to run again.
Incapacitate the Evil Bitch is not very difficult. All that’s needed is someone truly patriotic enough to even risk his life for this mission. For instance, the guy could disguise himself as a medical staff at St. Luke’s when the Bitch and her husband visit the hospital again. Then Bang !
Mahirap yang puntahan mo pa sa ospital tapos Bang! Maraming guwardiya yang si duwende at si Fat Pidal. Mahirap makalusot.
Kulamin na lang ang mga yan para mapahirapan ng husto. Dapat ang sentensya sa pidal mafia ay hindi death sentence kundi sentence to kulam for life para maghirap..lol
Hiringilya o tableta lang, mga patriotic medical workers. Do it for your country para matapos na ang paghihirap ng mga tao.
Balweg di ba nga at nakakulong si Trillanes. Nawalan ng trabaho ang karamihan ng mga Magdalos pagkatapos ng kanilang pagkakulong. Nasa kulungan din sina Gen Lim, Gen Miranda Col Querubin et al. Ano pa ang gusto mong gawin ng mga sundalo? Siguro mag-ala Reyes na si Yano. Yun lang ang nakikita kong pinakamaiging solusyon. But will he?
Correct. With most of the patriotic military officers and soldiers detained, who are competent enough to take their place in launching a coup?
Ellen
Agree with Gen Lim completely: “Dissent without action is consent”
Actions don’t have to be localised, eg, Manila — can be done abroad too by Filipinos living abroad. There are ways of doing things even on an individual basis.
Voltaire said, “One must be prudent, but need not be timid.”
Will see what’s being done this end and if there is no group action, I will jump the gun and do one on my own individually.
I have an idea and am mulling the idea of bashing Gloria in a “public forum” but have got to think of the consequence to the hosts and to my dog sitter; they’re ones who have issued an invitation; am just thinking of the the courtesy end of the whole thing.
You see, I was thinking of accepting an invite, for the first time ever, to an all Filipino community Xmas party where I’m based and since I’ve been tasked with making a contribution to the Xmas raffle (it was my dog sitter who asked me on behalf of his organization)… I was thinking of asking the organisers if they could allow me to speak for a minute or two and if I’m given the mic, then I will just make short rant against Gloria, bash Gloria.
Seriously thinking of doing this even if I make an ass of myself (shit, what do I care!) because I know that most of the Filipino labouring people here are pro-Gloria (or at least that’s what I’ve been told.)
We’ll see. But I do believe Filipinos worldwide can do this — takes a bit of courage and for you to accept that you could make an ass of yourself but shit, Gloria has been making an ass of Pinas and Pinoys anyway, so who bloody effing cares?
If nobody moves, that ignoble half-pint sized dwarf will be leeching her way to being a squatter in Malacanang ad vitam eternam.
Time to act and deal with her and her family of thieves manu militari!
That’s brilliant, Anna. I’m sure with your finesse, you can pull it off without putting your host in an difficult situation.
Let me tell you:
In “I can serve”, our organization of cancer survivors, we are told to shun talks of politics. And we, politically immersed understand. But Bibeth Orteza one time cannot control herself.
When she talked about one of our “sisters” who passed away, she remarked, “Mabuti pa siya, hindi na si Gloria Arroyo and presidente niya.”
One witty remark could arouse similar feelings (but suppressed) in others. Worth a try.
Never dream of assassinating Gloria and her fatsu,the Satan is not yet ready for them,although it’s been long time Saddam is waving hands to welcome them.
Ferdinand Marcos is still pleading his case in “Satan’s Court” that this Gloria Arroyo family are the greatest thieves in the Philippines. They must be obliterated before law.
sa palagay nyo ba mas makakabuti kung antayin na lamang ang 2010? Ilang bilyon pa kaya ang lulustayin nila bago dumating ang 2010?
Tongue: Many will not agree but I can also allow Erap to be restored to complete his “ilegally interrrupted” term in order to delete from official history the the seven-year period when the country operated outside of its constitution.
*****
I second the motion, not that I really like Erap, but consitutionally speaking, he should be allowed to finish his term under the watchful eyes of concerned Filipinos at home and abroad. Tapos, he should devote the remaining days of his life making documentary films like those being made by Michael Moore to expose anomalies in the administrations proceeding his. He has the means, etc. He should do it. Baka maging bayani pa siya.
May puntos ang kabsat natin na si Balweg dun sa sinabi niyang “Withdrawal of Support” or kaya “Civil Disobedience” na paraan para patalsikin ang pekeng gobiyernong ito. This concept hit my head and remembered a few days ago; I watched a very moving film entitled “The Great Debaters”. It’s a story of black debaters from a school in a small town in Texas moving their way up and attaining a victory in Harvard against white debaters. To cut the story short, the theme of the last debate in that movie was about the civil disobedience that the famous Gandhi of India headed against their British government that time. They debated between violence and civil disobedience as a method to fight the oppressive government. They debated about the morals of war against the morals of civil disobedience, between anarchy and democracy and rule of the descent few against the oppressive majority.
In his final line, the young black debater quoted St. Augustine who said, “An unjust law is not a law at all. Meaning, I have the right or even a duty to resist, with violence or civil disobedience. You should pray…we choose the latter”.
You bet, BE, tanggalin na si Gloria Dorobo ngayon din together with her fellow vote-robbers, including De Castro kahit ano pang denial niyan. Suabe lang gumawa ng kurakot ang unggoy sa totoo lang.
Will watch the development over in the old country from our side. Hinahanda na rin namin ang mga warm bodies dito kung sakaling matuloy.
Tama na, Sobra na!
Maganda iyong ideya ni Anna. Kami naman sa aming munting publcation laging may naka-feature na GMA jokes. Kasehoda kung anong sabihin ng embassy. Heto ang mga samples:
• Sabi ng mga banyaga sa panahon ni Marcos 65 million cowards and one sonofabitch! Ngayon ang sabi nila, 90 million cowards and idiots, against one BITCH!
• GMA met Bush at the UN. Bush: Our Filipino chef at the White House is truly great! GMA: Yup! Magaling talaga kami sa “LUTUAN.”
• GMA kidnapped by terrorist demanding $5M ransom or will set her on fire. Any donations appreciated. So far, 200 liters of gasoline received.
• GMA saved from near death asked the man what reward he wants.
Man: Wheelchair po!
GMA: Bakt wheelchair di ka naman lumpo?
Man: Kasc pag nalaman ni itay na sinagip kita, lulumpuhin nya ako!
• Her epitaph in cemetery 50 years later: HERE LIES GMA. SHE LIES STILL.
‘Yung gustong magdagdag, bring it on!
Cocoy, Satan might amend the Hell Constitution in anticipation of the Evil couple’s detention in hell. Marcos’ lawyers would argue that his crimes are much less than Gloria…and Satan agrees.

Cracks widen in Mugabe regime as soldiers riot over shortage of cash
Will this happen in the Philippines? I don’t think so. Why not? Well, the thieves in Malacanang continue to bend over backward to make sure they’ve got cash for their henchmen to feed on.
‘bitchevil Says:
November 30th, 2008 at 12:59 am
We know why the Manila Pen failed…’
Note that in Mumbai, they pulled the trigger. That seperated the men out of the boys. We had boys still at the Oakwood and the Manila Penn. No support was expected to play with the boys.
What is so glaring now is the faulty constitution. The chacha train should not be derailed. When the tempest gets rowdy winds, the ship must veer to safety. Hard right, people, and hold onto your belts tightly. No sense sailing on a bloody sea. Besides, the military was absent even during the EDSA II so dont expect it now and ever.
skip,
Lets skip all bloody thoughts. No one could really come up yet with a sane plan. Let the other side worry if ever there is. Better enjoy the holiday.
It is obvious that the House intends to pursue Charter Change by converting itself to a Con Ass.
Will the people wake up from their deep slumber and oppose the railroading of charter-change?
Valdemar,
We had MEN in Oakwood not ANIMALS or terrorists like in Mumbai. We must not stoop to that level…
I join Jug in disagreeing with your insensitive opinion Valdemar. There were over 300 young officers at the Oakwood to prove a point against corruption. These men were deceived into surrendering and promised that their issues were to be addressed. They were instead incarcerated and the issues never got addressed, they even became worse! Some of these men are still in incarceration because of the insensitivity of people like you and me and the continued silence of majority of the abused Filipinos. Shame on us to even ridicule the efforts of these brave men!
Valdemar, why don’t you take a day or two and stay in the cells of the incarcerated so you would know what it is to do something for your country!
For those who subscribe to a Mumbai or even Bankok scenario, after you! Diagnose first before you prescribe…the perceived solution may be more damaging than the disease and we make asses out of ourselves again in the international community, as people who cannot follow rules, maintain standards, impulsive, unable to make informed decisions on our own (nababayaran ang boto) and then complain about it.
We have to do this the right way, if we stoop to Gloria’s level (traditional) of politics we’re doomed to repeat history over and over again…besides she’s just waiting for all of us to make the mistake again and she can initiate “legal” actions as the law will be on her side if we break it ourselves. Now who would volunteer to lose his life, liberty, limb, and wealth for the good of the country?
parasabayan,
You’re right, there was an agreement reached already between the government and the Oakwood men, but the government did not uphold their side of the bargain…it was a matter of honor, so you see, it is very important for all of us to spread this around – that the leadership could not be trusted…
Jug, there is just “dishonor” in this regime. Worst, it has gone deeper into the all our institutions.
I agree with you that one mistake we can have is to give the evil bitch a reason to declare martial law particularly so when she sees that the charter change will not push through. She is just waiting for an ignition point. Let us not be reeled into her trap.
Rallying is encouraged to show dissent. I always join these rallies whenever I was in town. But to resort to something where there would be bloodshed, this may do more harm than good. We were able to oust Marcos with no drop of blood. We can do this again. We are still peace loving people. Let us be that way. One million warm bodies on the streets is my idea of a mass action which will give our leaders a “warning” that we mean business.
Malamig yata ang kilos protesta sa Mendiola.Pagtatawanan lang ng Malacanang ang ganyan.Kaya tuloy nagagawa nila ang gusto nilang gawin.Nasaan na ang mga Obispo?
Cocoy, maaga pa naman.
There are conflicting reports regarding MIDGET and Fat Guy are still in St. Luke’s while there was a report yesterday na nkalabas na..
Is there someone here who can verify which of this is correct?.. Thanks!
Project : Dedicated group/website/etc for this list
Objective : Kick them out of office/persuade people not to vote for them, pressure them to reform, to inform people who they are, what they did, REVERSE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Come up with dossieres for each with pictures, connect with voters from their respective districts and focus on getting the numbers from this places. We monitor progress by counting commitments or informal polls, then solicit creative suggestions from everybody, make and excute action plans based on whatever info we can get.
Then move on to flyers, radio, tv news (if there are takers ala Fox, etc).
Of course there should be some form of structure still so as to avoid loss of focus. I have no idea how to do this actually as I am not tach savvy myself, just a suggestion.
The Arroyos of The Philippines
“Maloloko ninyo ang lahat ng tao paminsan minsan.Maloloko ninyo ang ilang tao sa lahat ng oras.Pero hindi ninyo maloloko ang lahat ng tao sa lahat ng oras!”
“God indeed has a lot of sense of humor. He has given this nation a government run by a President who lost the election, an unjust and ever-heckling justice secretary, liars who would rather not lie by invoking executive privilege, and many other officials who are beyond description. God has given us an opposition that stops opposing after they are given government positions. God has given us a breed of bishops and priests who the flock may lead to salvation. And Filipinos just laugh at these realities.
If we would still have Ms Arroyo and her lackeys beyond 2010, it would not be due to God’s sense of humor. It would be due to the Filipinos’ sense of stupidity.”C.Bisa
I hope the people realize that it’s now or never!.. this nov 30 rally will be the gauge of MDGET and her DOGS to see if she can push thru with CHA-CHA or not.. bcoz the bishops used the CHA-CHA issue to make people “go out”.. and if only a few will go out.. it will send a signal to MIDGET that people doesn’t care about CHA-CHA issue anymore…
as of this time, wala pa akong nbabalitaang major gathering of people around Metro Manila.. iilan lang ang nsa Mendiola.. Wla rin ytang nangyari sa “messages” nila Gen. Lim and Sen. Trillanes…
naiiyak ako sa nangyayari sa Pilipinas at sa kawalang-pakialam na ng Filipino at ng mga “MAGIGITING NA SUNDALO”..
Iba na talaga ma tao ngaun unlike nung EDSA 1…
Mas malala ang nakaupo ngaun pero mas matatapang ang mga tao nuon para patalsikin ang umaapi sa Pilipinas at sa mga Filipino…
I can see CHA-CHA pushing thru..
And MIDGET and her DOGS continuing lambasting the Filipino people’s dignity…
Mga Kababayan (My Countrymen):

Gloria Arroyo
p.s. joke only
Jug & Parasabayan,
“…ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.” That is from our national anthem that was culled from the many so called ‘terrorists’ depending on what side they were fighting then. It did not even come from the soldiers of world war two who fought under another flag.
By the way I watched bridge or mahjongg there sometimes before.
Valdemar,
“ang mamatay ng dahil sa yo…” — after you. 🙂
Valdemar, it didn’t say ” ang pumatay ng dahil sa iyo”.
Project : Dedicated group/website/etc for this list
Objective : Kick them out of office/persuade people not to vote for them, pressure them to reform, to inform people who they are, what they did, REVERSE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Come up with dossieres for each with pictures, connect with voters from their respective districts and focus on getting the numbers from this places. We monitor progress by counting commitments or informal polls, then solicit creative suggestions from everybody, make and excute action plans based on whatever info we can get.
Then move on to flyers, radio, tv news (if there are takers ala Fox, etc).
Of course there should be some form of structure still so as to avoid loss of focus. I have no idea how to do this actually as I am not tach savvy myself, just a suggestion.
Here’s the list.

sana this time bumangon sa hukay ang mga bayani para tulungan ang pilipinas na maalis sa kamay ng mga ganid sa puwesto.
to all TONGgressman na pumatay sa impeachment….mamatay din kayo dahil kayo ay walang substance.mga ganid kayo sa puesto tulad ng amo nyo.
Canada’s Federal Government is in CRISIS!!! Last week the Conservative Minority Government introduced its Fiscal Stimulus to the Economic Recession that is sweeping the Globe, but aside from the $80 billions buy out of Banks mortgages there was not much in it except the cut backs on Politicians’ and Public Servants Discretionary spending and Political Funding by the Government for Political Parties and Candidates and the Oppositions, all Three Parties would not support the Bill and the official Opposition Liberal, whose Leader is Resigning in May for losing considerable seats for the Party, negotiated with the New Democrats with the support of the Separatist Party of Quebec to form a Coalition to take over the Government without Earning it. That may happen in December 8, even the Government withdraw the Political funding cutbacks.
The Process would be that during the vote for the Fiscal Stimulus package resolution scheduled for Dec. 8, the oppositions being in the majority by dozen votes could defeat the resolution and the Parliament is dissolved and the Coalition will ask the Governor General to form the Government. The GG may or may not give consent or will either ask the Government to call an Election..but we have had an election just Oct. 14…This will put the GG in a dilemma, because this has not been attempted before.
And I don’t like it, because I am a Conservative and I donated a lot during the last election and help the party in the campaign, but the process is within the bound of law and the PM could only lament to the Oppositions “they want to take over, without Earning it”. The voters will punish them hard in next election if and when they succeeded in this coup e tat .
Tongue, I agree that one reason why people are hesitant to replace the Evil Bitch legally is her stupid and incompetent successor Noli de Castro. Even Lakas Party is hesitant to pick him as its candidate. Lakas is now eying Villar.
Parasabayan, the Philippine media abroad especially in the US has long been bought by the Evil Bitch. Just look at Philippine News…we don’t read so much negative news about Malacanang unlike they did to Erap. On the other hand, I think our Kababayan abroad know the real stories courtesy of TFC. Thanks to ABS-CBN now which is critical of Malacanang.
TE,
Re: “…If we would still have Ms Arroyo and her lackeys beyond 2010, it would not be due to God’s sense of humor. It would be due to the Filipinos’ sense of stupidity.”C.Bisa
I used to appreciate Filipinos just laughing off the tragic realities in order to survive. Now, I’m having a thought that it could be only a facade for “stupidity”, cowardness and selfishness.
Eyebrow-less Deputy Spokesman Anthony Golez bragged that what’s happening to Thailand would not happen to the Philippines. What makes him so sure? In Thailand, the protesters outnumbered the cops. For being outnumbered, the cops had to back out. What we need is numbers. These days, rallyists only number a few thousands. If we could come up with about 100,000 warm bodies, then it might work. During the 1986 Edsa Revolt, those who went to Edsa only numbered about 100,000 and not millions as the media reported. Out of 100,000, almost half of them were curious onlookers. At Edsa 2, only about 100,000 or less were at Edsa. Today, we only see about 10,000 or a little more.
The Obama campaign would be interesting to study, the way the campaign was organized, how it was run, the victory, etc. I really thought it was a lost cause in the beginning, a black candidate for the highest position of the white man’s land?
The planning, the commitment, the focus, we should look into it…I don’t believe we can effect any significant change with rallies anymore. Gloria is in power because of a successful and well planned coup, and everything is covered by law so it seems. Everything by the book yet deep inside we know it was wrong.
I really believe that if we are serious about seeing some changes, it has to be well planned and executed with unrelenting commitment.
jug,
That is if Pinas has a serious opposition focused on making changes. E si Trillanes lang ang may commitment na ganyan, nakakulong pa.
Yes, I agree with you that rallies can’t effect significant changes anymore, nawala na ang glitters especially when Gloria’s militar intimidates the people days before a rally happens.
There are only two ways to remove the fake president: a strong opposition (wala tayo niyan), at kaladkarin ang bruha out of Malacanang (meron sana…sina Gen. Lim, Trillanes, Kap. Nick and fellow Magdalos but we let them down).
jug,
Iba ang kultura ng Pinoy electorate at politicians kesa sa Kano (whatever color) counterparts. But I still hope that Pinoys could achieve maturity in electing their leaders, not beholden to politicians; and politicians could become statesmen (mirakulo yan!).
“sana this time bumangon sa hukay ang mga bayani para tulungan ang pilipinas na maalis sa kamay ng mga ganid sa puwesto?”
Pinahalakhak mo naman ako flowerhorn…e matutulad lang sila kina Sen. Trillanes, Gens. Lim/Miranda, Col. Querubin and co. Bakit kamo, e ganito yon…maraming MAKABILI sa panahon natin ngayon PISO PISO lang ang katapat.
Bigatin ang combination ng MAKAPILI + MAKABILI e talagang walang patutunguhan ang ating bansa, at ang masakit pa dito eh sinira halos lahat ang institutions na pinaghirapan ng ating mga ninuno.
Kung muling mangungusap si Dr. Jose Rizal…alam mo isang kataga lang ang magiging bukang-bibig “Na kay Gloria and minions ang pagbagsak ng bayang sinisinta?”
Nagkatotoo di ba…kita mo halos lahat ng survey maging local o international ang Pinas e nasa listahan ng walang pag-asenso at puro kahihiyan.
balweg,
Every dog has his day. Darating din ang araw niyang si Gloria.
The constituents of the representathieves should band together and make signed petitions , as much as possible and ASAP to show their dismay on the act of killing the latest impeachment and to strongly have a stand against the charter change while the evil bitch is in power. This petitions may have a larger impact than anything else. In very well developed countries, that is how people rally behind their representatives. It works! In the absence of computers, a will to have bodies generate and circulate the petition around will be better than marching on the streets!
The pen as always is still mightier than the sword! Get the signature drive going! I will ask my relatives to do the same.
Yes, the Obama campaign is interesting to study. For one thing, it was very well organized. But, there was a couple of things we should remember: The US has only two party system while we have multiple parties. In the US, either you’re Democrats or Republicans. Second, Obama has huge financial resources. To be able to run a decent fight, a candidate must have sufficient funds. In the Philippines, Villar is the richest. Roxas can afford too. Ping Lacson and Legarda are behind when it comes to financing.
The signature campaign should be for ALL representathieves so when they go to the plenary, they will be in a different mind set. We have to do something! Huwag lang tayong tutunganga and wait for the tide to turn. IT WILL NOT!
Another undeniable skill Obama has is his public speaking skill. He talks not as politician but as if a religious preacher. He can mass hypnotize. Take note that some of those who attended his rallies even fainted listening to his speech. He is calm and well posed. He has eye contact with the people and can relate to them easily. Now let’s take a look at our RP candidates. Villar is not a good speaker. He even has some trouble with English. Roxas speaks better but his voice shows weakness and lack of confidence. Ping Lacson doesn’t smile much. Ping’s look is like that of a military General giving orders. Legarda has the charm due to her past exposure as media broadcaster. She knows what people want to hear. But, people could see in her the pretense and hypocrisy. Dick Gordon is a long playing talker…non stop…very annoying. Escudero is a good talker, both English and Tagalog. But, he talks too fast. If he slows down, we’re seeing a future leader.
I still believe that if the bitch insists on her cha-cha on forever Gloria, makakatikim ang demonya ng galit ng kapinuyan na hindi pa niya natitikman sa tanang pandak na buhay nya!
The bitch these days is walking on a threadline, tinitingnan lang nya kung kakagatin ng madlang pipol ang kanyang brinkmanship style. Atras-abante ang babaeng puta na yan kaya mabuti pa ay bring the cha-cha on at nang magkasubukan.
Instead of Cha-Cha, why not Chi-Chi? The Evil Bitch is not testing the people. Cha-Cha is one of her remaining cards and options to remain in power. The other one is to create a scenario to justify declaring emergency rule.
Kaya ng pinoy na patalsikin si Gloria kung magkakaisa. That’s the only way to regain our honor as a nation. Sana ay huwag ng maghintay sa blessing ng White House.
Hillary is Barack’s Secretary of State. Malakas ang putang si Gloria kay Bill…ewan ko ay Hillary.
Yes, cha-cha is one of the bitch’s remaining cards, pero aatras yan kapag meron ng massive action against her. Declare emergency rule? That is if she has the guts to go against Barack’s presidency. Kung sandali lang ay baka pa, like what happened to Pakistan’s Mustafa, pero to use the emergency power as the means for her stay in power forever…I don’t believe so. Hindi sya susuportahan ni Barack.
juggernaut,
Spin-A-Win!
BE,
Nice suggestion? I think in my personal hula-hoop…chi-chi is the best alternative solution to kick the ass of the evil bitch.
Mag chi-chi na tayo…
parasabayan,
Masyadong mababaw ang kamulatan ng Pinoy kung ang pag-uusapan e pang pulitikang pananaw sa buhay?
Noong panahon ni Apo Macoy ang estado ng Pinoy e from Class A, B, and C only…but since EDSA I was born out of wedlock. More illegitimate babies become poor and poorer, WHY and HOW? Imagine since 1986 till now…our classes now reaching from A to E, so how many people become purdoy without matsibog at pinagkakasya na lamang ang “PAGPAG” na kaning baboy?
Ito ba ang ipinamamalaki ng EDSA I and II conspirators? Ngayon heto magsisisihan at walang katapusang bangayan till one day magkakamatayan yan dahil sa personal na vendetta.
Nasaan ang mga nagsasabing may pinag-aralan sila at di naman ginagamit sa tama o wastong pamumuhay? Buti pa ang isang mangmang na mulat sa katotohan at mayroong pagpapahalaga sa kapwa-tao at pagmamahal sa bayan.

You might be thinking of that military agent Doble, Tongue.
“Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago warned the public that Filipinos might launch another people power revolt against the administration after the House of Representatives junked the impeachment complaint against President Arroyo and the people get fed up with corruption scandals.”
….After failing to get the International Justice Court post, Miriam began to criticize the Arroyo government. Don’t you guys notice it?

Kapag doble ang chi ay powerful na masyado, alam yan ng martial artists. Baka ang kailangan ay Chi at Qigong (pronounced Chi-gong) para pataksikin sa himpapawid si Gloria impakta. Korek kayo, double chi ang kailangan hindi cha.
One thing Obama promised not to do in fact is meddle in the domestic affairs of other nations unless of course it can affect US policies, welfare and interests. So, removing the dorobo may be consented by the US under him if majority of Filipinos would write to him and tell him to just keep away if he is not going to support the Will of the majority of the Filipino people who now want the dorobo to be kicked out since she won the 2004 election only by fraudulent means.
Filipinos should give Obama a dossier on this fraud manipulated and committed by Gloria and husband together with their cohorts, for surely the information could have been kept from him by the Bush administration like what they claim the Clinton administration did in keeping the information on the Bojinka Project of the Moslem Fundamentalist (now called “Al Qaeda” with members dominated by Pakistanis and Afghan Talibans) responsible for attacks on US planes (as in 9/11) and historical places (as in Mumbai).
I doubt if Obama is even interested to know what ails the Filipinos especially when he is inheriting all the chaotic policies, and problems created by the Bush government. His preference surely will be to put his country first in order.
Kaya puede ba, tama na ang pagsasandig sa mga kano? Kung sisipain si Gloria Dorobo, puede ba, ipakita na lang ang tapang ng mga pilipino, with or without US help and support, patay kung patay?
mukhang walang nangyari sa martsa..and the winner is Gloria Macapagal arroyo,,who will reign happily forever in her kingdom by the Pasig river…malungkot at hindi pinansin ang panawagan ni Gen LIm..our Hope is in God but in His time..so all we cvan do is pray…
5,000 were expected to join the rally, but only 2,000 showed up. Tsk, tsk, tsk…
Ninez Olivarez, who may now be back to her senses, wrote:
It does look like Gloria has for her role model — with a few changes — the Marcos model.
It will be recalled that Marcos was becoming very unpopular and then declared martial law while a new Charter was being drafted.
Marcos may have been unpopular then, but undeniably, it didn’t take too long for Marcos to become acceptable and gain more popularity, in the beginning of martial rule, especially when he came up with that slogan of Filipino discipline.
Of course, it had become a different story when the abuse of power started to show, some two years after martial law, and then his big fall from public grace had to follow.
The people may have realized that there aren’t viable options given to the public to pick from in case the evil bitch is taken out. They will be stuck with Kabayad Noli! Yuck! Chief Justice Puno is eyed to take charge of the interim government but he is not even keen on the idea. The people are waiting patiently now for an election in 2010. But if the evil bitch pushes for the cha-cha and it looks like the numbers are making it, it is not remote that we will follow suit with Thailand. While it is so real that the cha cha train had left the station, there are so many factors in the mix that makes me believe that the numbers of those in favor of the cha-cha via con ass will be stuck at less than 170! Besides, even if the number needed to pass the con ass makes it in the lower house, it will have an uphill battle in the Senate. Time is running out on the push for the con ass. It will be the holidays soon and the people are now busy. Unless of course these vultures will be very busy buying off the allegiances of these tongressmen who have not made up their minds yet. Nanganganib pa rin talaga ang con-ass, both ways.
I am just praying that there will be a divine intervention. I hope that our God is the stronger one, stronger than the God of the representathieves and the evil bitch!
Ellen,
Thanks for the encouragement. I hope I can pull it…
Rose:
Like what I have stated in other loops, sakit na ng mga pilipino iyan, no paki, especially when they are given no life-risking (?) alternatives as going overseas and get rich quick like those who have settled in the USA like my folks (not myself, though, for even when I’m not in the homeland, I still fight even just for the rights of Filipinos, legal or illegal overstayers.
Kaya siguro nasakop ang Pilipinas, because it is in their blood! Masakit man aminin, dapat sigurong aminin! Sabi nga ng mga kasama natin dito, maraming duwag!!!-
BE: and then his big fall from public grace had to follow.

This will surely be the fate of the Dorobo, too. Pero bakit kailangan pa ang mga kano?
Do you why today’s rallies don’t succeed? Take a look at this recent one…People were already picked up and detained by the cops even hours before they assembled.
Correction: Do you know why…
So, let’s stop wondering why the Thais are succeeding in their protest actions while we don’t.
BE:
Don’t believe the police count. Mahina sa Arithmetic ang mga iyan. They count less than the actual number of people who went there. Ang sabihin mo kahit na maraming pumunta kung wala naman silang dalang mga bomba, wa epek pa rin.
They should follow the examples of the Thais who are definitely getting help from some radical groups somewhere. Walang magawa iyong mga sundalo. Rumor even has it that a lot of the rebels’ weapons were taken from the military they had clashed with in earlier movements. Pero believe ka doon sa kapalmuks din PM. Parang si Gloria Dorobo, nakikipagtigasan sa mga kababayan niya. At least, iyong PM hindi naman nandaya, pero kurakot din kaya pinapa-resign.
I wonder when the king of Thailand will intervene. At least, doon meron silang tunay na hari. Sa Pilipinas, iyong magnanakaw gustong maging reyna. If that happens, I pray na malubog na lang ang Pilipinas kesa dumami pa ang lahi ng ungas!
Grizzy,
If we opt for changes via extrajudicial means, we may have to close our eyes to certain principles (like Integrity) because there will be a need to involve certain elements like consorting with influential businessmen (both legal and illegal), leftists (for noise power), Erap supporters (for threat of violence), showbiz personalities (star power), Jollibee (baon), the BNW movement, the church, the students (both elitistas and pangmasas) and rightists (military component composed of former generals, etc), media, support of Uncle Sam, of course add the visible leadership of the resulting mob.
To bind these forces together (as they will not sit together, yuck!) you have to offer some concessions (whats in it for them) if we get what we want. All of these must be well planned and executed with the right timing – if all goes well, everything will look very spontaneous and will look good on tv and newspapers.
…after that, we get a new set of leaders, but mostly a product of wheeling and dealing, power brokering, etc.
…then we will be back to square one, another Gloria-like leader will be born, out of extraconstitutional means, got used to it, loved it, and used the same machination to keep herself and the resulting cabal in power.
I believe that the proactive way to approach this is to diffuse her power base, what makes her position and moves constitutional – the numbers in congress, the support of governors, mayors, barangay captains, barangay tagays, etc. Lets look into this power base and find a way to defang them, otherwise, its all extraconstitutional and the vicious cycle starts all over again…
The police and military will have no choice but to follow their mandate – to uphold the constitution so we can’t blame them as the other option “to serve the people” isn’t quantifiable and what people are we talking about here anyway? We exist in a world governed by parameters, concrete facts and figures, and laws (especially laws) which focuses on “legalism” as the basis of political, social, and even economic reality…
Bakit hindi natupad ang rally? Kasi walang armas. Bakit nagsaksi ang Thailand. Siguro, you must employ those pirates. Mukhang successful and pirates. Kailangan dukutin si Pandak. Talagang matibay and guardia ni Pandak.
Huwag na kayo mag asa sa Kano ang kailangan ay revolusion
sa Pinas. Wag kayo mag asa sa igot. Walang natutuhanan iyan. Pretend lang ang alam ni igot. Nag pretend lang iyan kahit na pinaganak sa Kenya ayaw mag pakita nang tunay na birth certificate. Puro tago and pretend ang alam, tulad ni Pandakika. Basta na sa puesto. Binili ni egot ang White House for $600mil. Subra din ang daya ng DNP. This time the election in the US is parallell to the Pinas, Venezuela and Cuba. By the way the dress of Michelle Obama was designed after a Cuban flag “Viva Chi Guevara” black and red. It was plain and simple popularity contest.
I don’t know, but in any endeavor, theres always a need to “count the cost,” or “what will it take to succeed” considerations.
From Romeo Polistico:
KAWAWANG PILIPINAS
Pilipinas ang bayan ko, ang bayan kong sobrang gulo;
Marami sa magnanakaw, politiko’t, taong gobyerno;
Mula sa ibaba, pataas, hanggang sa Pangulo;
Sangkot sa maraming anomalya, tao tuloy litong-lito.
Ang gobyernong Pilipino, sinasabing demokratiko;
Pero salat sa prinsipyo, ang maraming mga tao;
Kapag dumating ang halalan, ibinebenta pati boto;
Kaya ang naihahalal, mga taong manloloko.
Ang ating mga Senador, kinatawan ng Kongreso;
Nasabing nagsipag-aral, ang marami’y abogado;
Pero bakit hanggang ngayon, paurong ang ating takbo;
Pakinabang lang sa sarili, ang siyang puno’t dulo.
Ang ating mga hukuman, sandigan ng katarungan;
Nawala ang tiwala ng mga mamamayan;
Ng si Gloria ay maluklok, umugit ng Pamahalaan;
Katarunga’y nabaluktot, kakampi lang ay mayaman.
Kaya ang mga taong naaapi, at wala ng masulingan;
Natututo ng lumaban, para ipaglaban ang karapatan;
Ang iba ay namumundok, nakikipagtalastasan;
Sa mga rebelde’y umaanib, sa paghanap ng katarungan.
Ang Krisis pang ekonomiya, na ating nararanasan;
Dagdag pa ang kalamidad, na dulot ng kalikasan;
Na ang iba ay nilikha ng mga taong ganid at gahaman;
Na siyang nagpapalubha ng kasalukuyan nating kalagayan.
Ang mga kapatid nating kawal sa sangay ng sandatahan;
Alam naming ang marami’y nagngingitngit ang kalooban;
Humahanap lang ng tamang hudyat, para tayo’y ipaglaban;
Sa imbing pamahalaang ito, na pahirap sa taong bayan.
Gumising ka Pilipino sa iyong pagkakahimbing;
Ito na ang tamang araw, hanguin ang bayan sa pagkagupiling;
Karuwagan ay iwaksi, sama-sama nating bakahin;
Ang masamang pamahalaan ni Gloria, magkakasama nating lupigin
Altgough I am all for the legal means to remove this evil leader, I am losing hope that we can succeed via this route. She has positioned all her dogs in our institutions and virtually all of those who are suppose to protect us are now just protecting her instead. We should show our disdain towards this evil leader. If we just keep quiet and play dead, she will NEVER give up her stolen position. We have to rally and show our dissent. It does not mean that we should resort to a bloody encounter nor enter into shady deals with those who would align with us. We just happen to have the same aim, TO REMOVE THIS EVIL ILLEGAL LEADER!
I loved Romeo’s tula!
Insfiring.
Apparently, Jug, Gloria Dorobo and her henchmen need to have the same medicine they kill innocent people with now. Hindi puede iyong usapang gentlemen. Sabi nga, “Kundi madaan sa santong usapan, idaan sa santong paspasan!”
I hate violence, too, as a matter of fact, but the way I see it is what they need there in the Philippines is something that the youth over here and elsewhere have done for instance to get what they want. Filipinos can take the cue from the Thais or even the Koreans or the Japanese who have succeeded in insisting their bill of rights to get what the government is supposed to do to insure better life for them, even freedom from want without burdening governments of other countries like what the Dorobo’s government does. Tinuturuan pa ang mga pilipino na magnakaw ng mga trabaho created for nationals of countries where Filipino workers are being sent to, legally, illegally and otherwise.
Hi Elle,
There’s one senator who’s a bit subtle in his politics but very interesting, Roilo Golez. What about Roilo?
2000 should have been enough if they were soldiers.
Wow! I was so impressed by Romeo Polistico’s poem. Sagad sa buto ang epek.
Para sa akin, ligal at iligal na paraan mapatalsik lang si Gloria impakta ay pareho lang. Aanhin ko ang ligal kung hanggang sa mamatay sya ng natural death ay nandyan pa ang puta! Ayos lang sana kung ang mga Tongressmen at Senatongs ay patas kung lumaban at may mga konsiensya para sa bayan at mamamayan, e wala naman.
Si Roilo Golez ay kapatid yata ni Anthony Golez ni Gloria. Korek ba?
I’ve always been wondering if the two are related. The Golezes are from Bacolod. I know Rep. Roilo Golez’s brother was promoted as Navy or AFP Chief. Anyway, Roilo has been consistently playing the role of an opposition. I think the two happens to have similar last name. That Anthony has no eyebrow while the good Congressman has.
If the Pinoys depend on the Supreme Court or legal means to oust Gloria it won’t happen so with the upper and lower houses. The homes of those justices are like fortresses no one can approach them without facing a machine gun. I never thought in the history of mankind I would see the Philippines this way. Because of that S-0-B money and power hungry politicians. You, politicians you would sell your mother to get ahead. Practise your religion with intend and full meaning. My advice to you people, be reasonable and decent. Gloria, give that power up you are holding on so vigorously. You have amassed enough money that even if you exile in any country you will live confortably. I know you and your family very well. It’s futile to hold on to power like that at the expense of bloodshed. Be at peace with yourself and humanity, be humble and ask for forgiveness to those you have trespassed. Remember we are all children of the Universe and we are supposed to be equal in the eyes of God.
Nice perception Dandaw…ang nakakalungkot at nakakahimutok ng butsi e how many of our kababayang Pinoy have guts na tapat at masunuring sa itinatadha ng batas?
Ang daming violators di ba, wala silang pakundangan sa pagyurak sa ating mga batas na umiiral…bakit ka mo, ganito yon…our law-makers ang numero unong law-breakers kaya walang gloria ang taong-bayan na tupdin at igalang ang ating mga batas.
Kita mo pati ang sagradong batas na kumakatawan sa Pinas, walang iba ang ating Saligang Batas e sinalaula na at ginawang katawa-tawa ng mga promotor ng EDSA II.
Si Davide ang una dapat e firing squad sapagka’t siyaý naturingan pang abugago eh wala naman palang binatbat sa pagtatanggol ng katarungan.
Hay naku, kung iisa-isahin natin…isang katutak ang dapat na ipakukulong natin sa Iwahig colony dahil sila ang sumalbahe sa ating Konstitusyon?
Ngayon e may pabatas-batas pa sila na dapat daw natin sundin, ang tanong? Sinunod ba nila ang itinatadha rito, WALA di ba…so paano natin mahihimok ang ordinaryong Pinoy kung ang mga nasa kapangyarihan ang number one violators.
Dandaw, did you hear what Bush say in an interview? He said the thing he most unprepared for was the war. He sounded he regret it. He initiated the war on Iraq; and now he says he was unprepared for it? Bush, Chenney, Rumsfield and the rest of his gang of war criminals should be hanged for their war crimes.
Balweg: Ang daming violators di ba, wala silang pakundangan sa pagyurak sa ating mga batas na umiiral…bakit ka mo, ganito yon…our law-makers ang numero unong law-breakers kaya walang gloria ang taong-bayan na tupdin at igalang ang ating mga batas.

Sinabi mo pa. Ang kapansin-pansin sa karamihan sa mga pilipino ngayon ay ang kanilang kawalan ng tinatawag na “sense of right and wrong.” Dito na lang sa Japan, nakakahiya ang pinaggagagawa ng marami sa kanila, at pag nahuli ng pulis sa mga kalokohang ginagawa nila ang palaging katwiran ay ang kahirapan sa Pilipinas. Naturingang mga kristyano pero hindi nila naiintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng pagtitiis at sakripisyo gaya ng turo sa sinauna na mabuti pang magdildil ng asin kesa gumawa ng masama.
Tama ka, Balweg, nasanay sila sa paglabag ng batas ng tao at ng Diyos. Ang isa pang mali na dapat ituwid na napansin kong kaibahan ng paggawa at pagpapairal ng batas namin dito sa Japan ay ang kawalan ng sincerity ng mga mambabatas sa Pilipinas. Doon gumagawa sila ng batas na kapansin-pansin para sa kapakanan lamang ng iilan, at hindi para sa ikakabuti ng lahat lalo na ng bansa. Iyon na lang Constitution, sus, wala namang nakakaintindi. Ingles lang kasi, maganda na raw pakinggan.
Ngayon nga gusto na namang gumawa ng isa pang palpak na Constitution para sa kapakanan ni Gloria Dorobo at mga kapareho niyang kurakot. Heaven forbid! Please tigilan na!
BE: Bush, Chenney, Rumsfield and the rest of his gang of war criminals should be hanged for their war crimes.
