Update, Feb. 9,2009: Mike need not show up – Miriam
Senate won’t summon Mike Arroyo
Sa asal nina Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile at Sen. Miriam Santiago sa report ng World Bank tungkol sa kurakutan sa public works, napa-isip ako kung nakakabuti nga ba sa taumbayan ang pagtanggal kay Sen. Manny Villar bilang senate president na siyang nagbigay daan para ang mga senador na kaalyado ni Gloria Arroyo ngayon ang may kontrol ng pagpatakbo ng Senado.
Katulad nitong si Santiago, chairperson ng committee on economics na siyang nag-iimbistiga ng kurakutan sa DPWH base sa report ng World Bank na nag blacklist ng ilang construction company kabilang na ang E.C. Luna Corp, China Road and Bridge Corp ; China State Construction Corp, China Wu Yi Corp ; China Geo-Engineering Corp, Cavite Ideal International Construction and Development Corp. at CM Pancho Construction Inc. Halatang-halata naman na gustong protektahan ni Santiago ang mag-asawang Arroyo.
Kunwari nanggalaiti siya kina Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane at kay Eduardo de Luna, ang may-ari ng isang construction company na blacklisted ng World Bank. Ngunit nang binasa ni Senador Ping Lacson kay de Luna ang mga miting niya kay Mike Arroyo, hindi siya masyadong intresado. Half-day lang ang ginawa niyang hearing. Bitin tuloy.
Ngayon na naglalabasan ang mga hindi kumpletong report ng World Bank na sabi ni Mike Arroyo, pati na rin si Gloria Arroyo, ang daming kesyo-kesyo itong si Santiago.
Duda raw siya sa kopya ng report na hawak ni Lacson dahil ang kanyang kopya raw wala naman ang pangalan ni Mike Arroyo.
Mukhang naisahan ng World Bank si Santiago. Walang pinagkai-ba sa tuso man ang matsing, napaglamangan din.
Suspetsa ng mga reporter, sadya ng World Bank na ang kopya na binigay kay Santiago ay hindi kasama ang pangalan ni Gloria at Mike Arroyo. Kaya kasama siya sa nagtulak ng imbistigasyon. Ngayon na lumabas na si Mike Arroyo pala ang pinakamalaking buwaya sa kurakutan sa Department of Public Works and Highways, may mga sinasabi siyang “hearsay”. Pareho sila ni Enrile.
Meron diyan na isasara na raw niya ang imbestigasyon. Meron din namang mag-leave daw siya. Sabi ni Lacson, di mag-leave siya, ipagpatuloy ang imbestigasyon sa ilalim ng committee on constitutional amendments na pinamumunuan ni Sen. Chiz Escudero.
Ngayon hindi na raw siya mag-leave. Siyempre para kahit papaano, makontrol niya ang takbo ng imbestigasyon.
Ang World Bank sinisisi niya dahil sa hindi binigyan ng report ang Senado. Sa Department of Finance at Ombudsman kasi nagbigay ng kopya ang World Bank noong 2007 pa.
Bakit hindi siya kumuha ng kopya sa Finance at sa Ombudsman? At tingnan nga natin kung uubra ang katarayan niya kay Mike Arroyo.
First, let me congratulate Ellen and the bloggers/readers of Ellenville. 1033 na ang readers mo. WOW!
Second, I would like to see Mirriam na nagtatatarang at naglulupasay in the Senate floor defending Mike Pidal against the WB report. That would be the grandmother of entertainment.
Hanep, sabog na sabog ang balitang ito, mukhang hindi makapamayagpag ngayon ang fat pig.
Ping, tuloy-tuloy lang hanggang tuluyang tumulo ang mantika at malitson ang ‘komisyuner’ ng World Bank.

Kayo naman para kayo lagi bago kay brenda, you remember correctly during the campaign period for president in 2004, sinabi nya kay FPJ ipagtatangol nya kahit san pa pumunta? but what did you know? when the evil bitch drafted her to run for senate, she kept quiet. If I my go back farther, she even said said that she will CHOOT, I mean, she will shoot herself and even jump out of the plane without a chute.
And if I may go go farthest, she proclaimed that she will never run for any public office anymore. But where is she now??? towing the skirt of the evil bitch as her senator.
Kaya nga “BRENDA” ang tawag ng mga tao sa kanya e.
On the other side, the evil bitch hurriedly flew to the US of A to attend whatever prayer meeting that is, but the real reason that was kept from us and finally was out, was that she and her cabals really want to see obama, however she got snubbed and the loudmouths of the evil bitch is even blaming obama of coming late, tsk, tsk, tsk, pati ba naman ako gagaguhin ng mga gagong ito.
Ang akala nila ay may pag asang makita ng pandakekok si obama. How many times did obama snubbed her, her phone calls her fax messages and now trying to get one from obama, nakakahiya ka na pandakekok, ayaw makipagkita sayo ipinipilit mo sarili mo.
I have seen and even been involved in some presidential visits, but this is surprising, an unscheduled trip to the US upon the invitations (allegedly) by some lawmakers, nagmamadali syang pumunta???wag nyo akong gaguhin!!!!
Ang masakit nyan, somebody or someone might have promised pandakekok that she might or will meet obama, so that’s the reason she hurriedly went to the US. But alas!!! what happened next, she get the biggest snubbed from obama.
FYI pandakekok, obama is not like bush!!!!! so if i were you mag resign ka na lang sa lahat ng kahihiyaan na binibigay mo sa PILIPINAS. NAMO!!!!!!
prans
Miriam Santiago, is trying to be a good actor, but just as lousy as being a Partisan Politician, instead of a Stateswoman..she will go down just as another insignificant Figure in the Political History of the Country, remembered mostly for her out of Control antics than anything else..

ON WB SCAM HEARING
Senate won’t compel Mike Arroyo–Enrile
By Michael Lim Ubac
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines — First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo can’t be forced by the Senate to face the chamber’s inquiry into alleged rigging of bids for World Bank-funded projects, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said Saturday.
“It will depend on his physical condition. Mahirap naman na pilitin mo ‘yong tao (It won’t be good to compel him) if it will endanger his life,” said Enrile in an interview on radio dwIZ.
——————————————————–
I’m no Villar fanboy. But I think it’s time people realize the Senate coup had been a big mistake. Enrile’s kid glove treatment of Mike Arroyo is revolting.
The old coot gets a rare chance to redeem his tarnished name, and he chooses to stay on the wrong side of history.
Sad.
Dang RIGHT!!! I agree with you Tita Ellen! Actually, I was waiting for you to say that. Curious lang ako what’s with the rush to proclaim how white and clean Arroyo was in regards to his involvement. I knew there was something behind the big drama! I still remember “I liedddd!!!” That was my gut feeling while I was trying to marvel at all these crap drama!
of course the senate coup was all part of the “Plan”. now the Senate President will soon and very gently will “reluctantly” support the Charter Change. with Enrile and Miriam in Tandem, they maybe acting but their slips are showing…
We remain mired if the cha-cha train is stalled. We know where we are and going without it. Whereas if it chugs away, even when we dont know where its going, at least it wont be like this way where we are now. Prayers should steer it clear from harm’s way. Or the new red guards.
Brenda is just justifying her take from GMA. She has to show that she is worth the moolah she gets from GMA. As for JPE, well he’s been called the smiling devil during Pres. Marcos’s time. He easily changes his skin like a snake to suit his interests. And that’s the only thing that he believes in to hell with all of us. We really haven’t learned anything all throughout the times JPE has been playing us. I don’t ever believe JPE really cares for the Filipino. Its only JPE for himself. Both Brenda and JPE looks down on the Filipino. They never really respected the people. Shame on them.
Miriam and Enrile are among the two Malacanang dogs in the Senate. Miriam has the habit of using all the insulting words against those implicated in a scam and always threatens to have them arrested if they refuse to attend the Senate hearing. But, when it comes to Mike Pidal, she’s only inviting him. Enrile is another old dog. He now says the Senate cannot compel Mike. Enrile further reasons that appearing could affect Mike’s health. What? What about other witnesses who were in worse health?

Thanks, Chi. The 1033 (as of now) are subscribers. Those who get automatic regular updates in this blog.

Thank you naman. I hope it has been worth your while visiting here.
Back when Lacson’s resolve to run for president was unshakeable, deposing the survey-topping Villar made a lot of sense. Now that he’s having second thoughts about duking it out in 2010, the coup has turned out to be a strategic misstep that reduced the Senate from a decent enough opposition bulwark into an Arroyo-coddler.
I’m almost a Lacson fanboy. The only thing that hinders me from openly declaring my admiration for him is his checkered past which I admit, still gives me the willies.
But despite Kuratong and one-way-helicopter-rides-over-Manila-Bay, I honestly find that Lacson’s crusade against the putridness of this regime very very uplifting, if quixotic.
That’s why I can’t help but see the sad irony of him helping install a Senate president who is about to throw a monkey wrench at his crusade.
Bakit ba itong si Mike Pidal, tuwing iimbestigahan ay natatae o kundi man ay inaatake sa puso? Tutukan natin ito at mukhang nagpapalusot na naman ang mga kampon ni Satanas.
Talaga, Skip. Ironic.
Dapat kasi tayo, the people, should take up from what Lacson has unleashed.
I think it was Tongue who mentioned it in an earlier thread, why should it be only one senator who should carry the burden of getting rid of the chief of the corruption syndicate?
What is happening to us????!!!!!
I like very much that part in Ricky Carandang’s Big Picture interview with “Palos” Enrile when Ricky asked him whether the Senate could subpoena the Ombudsman’s World Bank report.
I really saw Enrile’s jaw drop!
A “gotcha” moment.
Ricky Carandang’s wife is a Fil-Chinese coming from a prominent family. I like Ricky’s English and his reporting style. He has the class.
This time, I shall not skip skip’s comment about Lacson. Sure, Lacson has his dark past. Being with then notorious MISG under the late Col. Abadilla doesn’t have that very good reputation. MISG was then Gestapo under Marcos rule. However, past is past. As a young officer, he might only be following orders. Many military officials who have committed human rights violations are still active today. Look at Palparan. Everyone knows that Lacson was behind the Kuratong Baleleng rub-out. But, those guys were certified criminals. I’m more tolerant with criminals being killed than the innocent civilians. Mayor Fred Lim and his Dirty Dozen were also known for such activities. In order to destroy Lacson, his detractors keep resurrecting the Kuratong case which has been dismissed for a hundred times.
Ellen, like you, I am disturbed about this sense of hopelessness that is paralyzing the Filipinos. It has become near impossible to rouse them into action nowadays.
I blame this inertia on Gloria Arroyo’s diabolical ability to nip popular groundswell in the bud.
If you recall, there were a number of situations which could have easily led to a people power uprising. But because of PD 1017, EO464, bribery, and other such deviltry, the gathering storms have all but petered out.
The people have lost their momentum, the wind knocked out of their sails. Napagod na.
Lord, have mercy on the Phillipines.
There never was a momentum. It was just all noise. Reason: The same groups that ousted two duly elected Presidents don’t get along with one another each with its own agenda.
The Catholic Church and CBCP’s silence is alarming. JDV has not uttered a word for weeks. FVR’s military gang in this current administration continue to serve his interest. All these only benefit the Evil Bitch.
Re: “It will depend on his physical condition. Mahirap naman na pilitin mo ‘yong tao (It won’t be good to compel him) if it will endanger his life,” said Enrile in an interview on radio dwIZ.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile acts like Jose Pidal’s lawyer. He gave a clue how Fat pig Mike can skip congressional inquiry. Crocks protect its kind. Brenda should have a brain check-up before she continues the Moro-Moro investigation or she may stay at National Mental Hospital for good. Hoy! Manong Johnny at Brenda laos na ang style ninyo. Kumita na sa takilya.
Whether it was a momentum or noise, it all depends on where you stand.
Re:Gloria Desperately Seeking Obama
“If junkets aren’t wrong, nothing is wrong. If junkets are right, all criticisms of government abuses are wrong.” Former Supreme Court Justice Isagani Cruz
When there are reports of crime having been committed such as the corruption in the WB funded road improvement projects, it becomes incumbent on the authorities to investigate and gather evidence. These investigating bodies such as the DOJ, PNP, NBI, AMLA and Ombudsman need not wait for evidence to fall into their laps. They are being paid by peoples taxes to do their work. They have sworn to uphold the law regardless of who are involved. Apparently, this has change. Now before any investigation is done, one should present authentic documents or evidence that a crime has been committed. Only then will they move to investigate. This is the doctrine now being espoused by the likes of JPE, Santiago, Nograles, Datumanong, Bello and the rest of the protectors of the GMA gang. This is the new standard being adopted by the justice system of the country. And the only reason for which is that it suits their interest. The standard used by CJ Davide in ruling that newspaper clippings and an unauthenticated entry in the notes of Angara showed that ERAP has “constructively resigned” does not apply. It smacks of double standard.
Ellen, even if Villar was Senate president today, I doubt he would make so much noise about kotong in road projects nor even touch the scandal it with a ten-foot pole.
Sino bang contractor ng C-5 extension?
Even before when people used to have only praises for Brenda as a budding politician, halata ko nang isa pang may tupak sa ulo like those Filipinos I get irritated with their fetish for adding titles to their names even when not necessary. Sakit ng pinoy dahil mukhang wala naman talagang dugong bughaw ang mga unggoy.
Noon pa tingin ko nang may sira sa ulo ang ungas. Pero medyo naawa ako when her son died, and she made statement to the press that she would quit politics for good. Akala mo tunay but when she welcome the unano to the wake and beso-beso, nasuka ako. I suspected right there and then, she and the creepy criminal were cooking up something.
Naalala ko na naman ang sinabi ni Monsag noon about the creeps, Brenda and Enrile, who led the EDSA 3 and caused the death, injury, etc. of a lot many innocent fans of Erap, who were deceived by them to rush to Malacanang and try to get the puta out. Hanga na sana ako kay Uncle Johnny na kabagyan daw ng mother ko. Peke din pala.
I wonder what moves them to be the way they are when they are supposed to be gifted and qualified to be different and better people. Kaswapangan ba?
Iyong Brenda, alam na natin—dahil sira ang ulo. Pero si Enrile? The words my father loved to use were “sakim” and “ganid”! Tama pihado kay Enrile iyan.
Ellen:….why should it be only one senator who should carry the burden of getting rid of the chief of the corruption syndicate?
*****
Sagot sa tanong, mga tarantado kasi! Frankly, I have difficulty understanding why the members of the Commission on Appointments or the Filipino people in general would tolerate the criminal appointing her own people in the Department of Justice, which should have been free and independent of the executive or even the legislative branch of government. Only qualified people, who have taken the civil service exam should have been assigned to be prosecutors, for instance, not appointees.
Golly, may krimen in the making, ni hindi maka-utos na imbestigahan ng mga pulis kasi appointee din iyong hepe, etc.! In short, bulok ang sistema!!!
Worse, mga inutil. Binago kuno ang Constitution ng bansa after Marcos was removed, pero dinagdagan pa lalo ang power ng uupong pangulo. O di lalo nagkaloko-loko nang umupo pa iyong dugong aso may ambisyong maging reyna ng EK niya. Tangnanay nilang mga bobo!!!
Pinauupo kasing mga lider ng bansa ni wala naman yatang pagmamahal sa bayan nila. Golly, pa-ingles-ingles pa at ipinagmamalaki pang mas maganda daw ang ingles kesa sa pambansang wika nila. Ulol!
It is not surprising Pres.BARRY can’t just threw a little glance at that rodent visiting his kingdom,one he can not afford time to waste for a traveling world slave trader,he doesn’t want his images to be tainted by beso-beso,of the most corrupted leader,now nabukya na sa WORLD BANK ang GMA admin. SSS naman ang alkansiya na kanilang bubutasinn para sa mga buwitreng TAUHAN na walang kabusugan sa pananakaw sa kaban bayan.Kung ang lahat para sa ikauunlad ng bayan ay naging maayos tayo ay naka pagpagawa na nang tulay at kalye papuntang buwan,at katulad ngayon puro infrac-structure para commercial hi-way,at “STIMULUS”para sa mahihirap daw,ay naku ano naman kaya susunod na “ALKANSYA ang kanilang bubutasin.
“Duda raw siya sa kopya ng report na hawak ni Lacson dahil ang kanyang kopya raw wala naman ang pangalan ni Mike Arroyo.
Mukhang naisahan ng World Bank si Santiago. Walang pinagkai-ba sa tuso man ang matsing, napaglamangan din.” – Ellen
Sa balita, ipinagpipilitan ni Santiago na wala ang pangalan nila Arroyo at mga politiko doon sa report. Na dahil din daw sa ito ay “confidential” report ng WB, hindi raw niya pwedeng i-share sa Senado yung hawak niya.
E di huwag! Para namang siya lang ang meron.
I-download nyo na lang yung confidential report dito!
AMEN skip! The Lord have mercy on us. Siya ang ating muog ng pag-asa at di ang talino ng tao na siyang tisod sa ating pagkakaisa at pag-unlad ng Inang Bayan.
I was so impressed with her letter to the WB…… except it kind of went around in circle as in she can get a copy at the OmBADsman errr Ombudsman pala but of course she is insisting on getting it directly from WB…… the only problem is her argument just went south when she stated it was all in aid of legislation, lol.
Looks like you scored big here Ellen….. the circus freak side show conducted by Lady Mirriam just got exposed, but then again that is just how it is in the land of cheats.
RE: What is happening to us????!!!!!
Our Beloved country is really now in trobule? We are going to no where Maám Ellen! Ang magaling na pe__ng presidente na si gloria ang ugat ng ating paghihirap at kawalang direksyon ng bansa tungo sa pag-unlad.
People are divided and confused sa mga nangyayari sa ating bansa, sinakmal na ng kawanghiyaan ni glori ang halos lahat ng institutions sa ating bansa, at heto uundap-undap na nakikipagsapalaran ang ilang pang matitino sa ating lipunan upang hadlangan at puksain ang mga peste sa ating gobyerno de bobo.
Praning na ang taong-bayan sa paghanap ng tamang solusyon upang tapusin na ang mga kahayupaang ito na pinaggagagawa ng mga walang kwentang pulitiko at taong-gobyerno.
Buntong hininga muna…konting hikab at banat uli upang matauhan ang mga peste na yan.

Sinong may sabi? Ano na ang nangyari sa talino daw ni Enrile? Ukinana, graduate pa naman siya ng Harvard. Bakit di niya alam na wala namang immunity si Fatso dahil private citizen naman ang unggoy na iyan. Komo ba asawa siya ng isang kriminal na nakaupo sa Malacanang?
Puede ba magtrabaho sila ng tama. Binoto sila ng mga pilipino unless na nandaya din sila kaya ang katwiran nila wala silang utang na loob sa mga pilipino, ang loyalty nila dapat doon sa taumbayan na bumoto sa kanila hindi doon sa pipitsuging dugong aso na ayaw nang umalis sa nakaw na puwesto niya.
Tanong kay Uncle Johnny at doon sa boba na nagdunung-dunungan na Brenda, magkano ba ang bayad ng mga Pidal sa inyo? Bistado na, nagmamaang-maangan pa kayo! Lumalabas tuloy bobo kayo!
My stand is the same as yours, Ellen. Tongue, Malacanang’s dogs in the Senate are always quick to absolve the Pidals even before the hearing/investigation commences. Miriam’s temper is feared during the Senate hearing. I doubt if she would even raise her voice on Mike Pidal.
Skip: The people have lost their momentum, the wind knocked out of their sails. Napagod na.

Diyan daig ng mga hapon ang mga pilipino, Skip. Wala silang tiyaga. I know kasi ang concept ng mga hapon sa tiyaga ibang-iba sa concept ng mga pilipino kung ano ang tiyaga.
Dito malakas ang taumbayan kasi matiyaga. Hindi tumitigil kahit pailan-ilan lang, at hindi basta-bastang natatakot. Patay kung patay ang katwiran! Hindi umuurong!
Ang maganda pa, walang naglider-lideran! Kundi kayang maging lider, tumatahimik na lang, at sumasama bilang mga followers. Sa Pilipinas, ang daming gustong maging lider, hindi naman qualified! Yuck!
Pedestrian Observer GB,
Si Brenda e isa rin yang praning, nasobra sa dunong kaya heto di alam ang pinaggagawa sa senado. Kailan ba natuto ang babaeng yan, magaling lang sa dakdak…kasi nga akala niya siya lang ang marunong at nakakaintinding mag-ingles at bumasa ng libro o any thing na related sa batas na sila mismo eh bopol dito.
Kung may natutuhan ang mga iyan e disin sanaý maunlad ang Pinas at mapayapang mamumuhay ng mga Pinoy. Ang kaso e sila ang nagdudunong-dunungan sa ating lipunan at wala namang mabuting nagawa para sa bayan, puro kabulastugan at kayabangan ang alam.
Next time, dapat wag nang inihahalal ang mga iyan, sayang lang ang pera ng bayan…isang gago’t kalahati ang mga iyan at ginagawa nilang stupido ang mga Pinoy.
Sa 2010, paki-usap po…NEVER and don’t ever na iboto ang mga pesteng politiko na yan, maawa kayo sa bayan!
RE: Ang maganda pa, walang naglider-lideran! Kundi kayang maging lider, tumatahimik na lang, at sumasama bilang mga followers. Sa Pilipinas, ang daming gustong maging lider, hindi naman qualified! Yuck!
Natumbok mo Grizzy, i agree with you bro! Sa Pinas e lahat ata ng Pinoy gustong maging Presidente o kaya kapitang baranggay?
Kita nýo, pag di IN e out sila… i mean, titiwalag sa grupo at magtatayo ng kani-kaniyang partido kaya heto naghambalang sa daan, na pagka-minsan eh nag-uupakan pa.
Yan ang pangit sa natutuhang ugali ng iba nating kababayang Pinoy, ang gusto e maging presidente at ayaw maging mabuting subordinate.
Kaya ang Pinas e tulad din ng karamihan sa latin america na maliligalig ang kukote kaya heto labo-labo till magpatayan ng dahil sa ambisyong maging bosing.
Sang-ayon sa kwento eh kung saan daw majority ang Katoliko sa anumang bansa e ang liligalig ng mga kukote at ang daming insurektos.
Yan ba ang itunuro ng Simbahan? Hindi ata di ba, kundi pag-ibig at pagmamahal sa kapwa-tao. Sobra lang ata sa pagiging independent kaya yong freedom e nagagamit sa kagaguhan lamang.
BE: I doubt if she would even raise her voice on Mike Pidal.
*****
Sure, hindi iyan gagawin ni Brenda, but “for how much?” May price tag din iyan pihado!
BE,
Ang matinong pulitiko e may common-sense at natinong kausap, yang si brenda e comment ng iba nating kababayang Pinoy e may tililing…totoo ba yan ha!
Kasi nga kung pagdudugtung-dugtungin natin ang mga pangyayari na kanyang nawika eh para IN talaga!
Kesyo tatalon daw siya sa eroplano during citizen Erap watch, nag nahahamong makipagbarilan, pag na pikon e nag tantrum eh, pag ngumise eh akala mo praning at iba pa.
Actuation ba yan ng isang matinong leader or may pinag-aralan, di ba bukang-bibig ng mga nakakarami e professional daw sila…saan? Sa kayabangan o katangahan!
Nasaan yong pinag-sunugan nila ng kilaw…nasa ilalim ng tampakan o walang natutuhan sa kabutihang asal. Akala mo ang gagaling e wa epek naman ang mga diskarte.
Hoy! Magsitigil kayo, wag nýo nang utuin ang Masang Pilipino…di kami timang at solohin nýo na lang ang iyong kagaguhan at wag na kayong magdamay pa ng iba!
Grizzy,
Brenda is a wise politician and she knows how to play with the evilbitch and her minions. She learned from her mistake during her fight with Tabako, kaya ganyan siyang kumilos at manalita.
She’s a professional politician kaya ang galing magdrama at umarte sa harap ng kodak, sabi nga ng ibang Pinoy e if you cannot bit them e join them kasi nga pag kumuntra ka e purdoy ang labas mo.
So, sa madaling salita…e naggagamitan ang mga iyan, kunyari pa na magkakaaway eh palabas lang yan para di obvious ang kanilang pursyiento sa pera ng bayan.
Never tayong sumakay sa kanilang mga kadramahan sapagka’t anytime tayo rin ang magdedengoy ng mga unggoy na yan. Kita mo, pag mainit ang issue eh biglang may lalabas na namang panibagong kwento na para bang isang nabubuong bagyo na biglang darating at yong mainit na usapin e biglang mawawala sa limelight di ba.
Pls. obserbahan nýo ang logic ng mga usapin sa Pinas, parang showbiz di ba! Walang katapusang balitaktakan pero walang isa man ang nakulong except yong sacrificial lamb upang pagtakpan ang kanilang kawalanghiyaan.
But Balweg, despite Miriam’s mental condition and weird behavior, why did people elect her? I don’t think she ever cheated in an election. In fact, she was cheated when she ran for President. Don’t you think people who voted for her were more stupid?
I don’t see and feel the indignation coming from us Filipino. Are we so numbed enough to feel anger at the Malacanang occupants’ scandalous greed? Or are we so poor and destitute enough as to opt to survive rather than demand for our rights. Tatanggapin na lang ba natin ang mga kahihiyan na ito? Gutom ang bansa, naglalakbay ang pekeng pangulo. Nakaw dito nakaw dun. Wala na bang katapusan ito? Ganun ba talaga kalalim ang kanilang mga bulsa? PAKENSYET!!!
Exactly. That was why I said there was no momentum to start with. During the 1986 Edsa Revolt and earlier, there was a momentum. There was an orchestrated grand conspiracy to oust the President. Same was true with Erap. Today, the opposing groups could not even put their acts together. Sorry for my opinion, but that’s how I look at it.
Tanong sa mga sagot ninyo na gusto ko nang maniwala. Wala kasing padulas di gaya noong EDSA 1 and 2. Libre tsibog pa at mga T-shirts. Kaya sama lahat. Ang laki pa ng kita ng mga organizer. Well funded ang mga movements na pinamunuan ni Sin sa totoo lang. Ngayon ba meron? Pakisagot nga, Enteng o kaya si Leah. Iyan din ang problema. Wala tiyaga kung walang padulas!!!
Opps, mali ang tagalog. Corr….”Sagot sa mga tanong ninyo na…
From day one of JPEs reign, I was already skeptical. But Tongue somehow pacified me. But now the true colors are coming out. The senate coup may have been a preparation for the charter change. All these other stuff are just icing on the cake. JPE has a lot of businesses and he atands to gain everything with the charter change. Pandak orchestrated all these. Kumagat naman ang mga ambisyosong mga presidentiables. Ngayon, saan tatakbo itong mga presidentiables kung wala namang election? These senators who gave the senate to pandak must be kicking themselves. I do not see an iota of opposition now in the senate. Si Lacson na lang ang bumibira. Well, that serves him well because he instigated the coup anyway to replace Villar. Everyone else is laughing all the way to the bank!
I still remember in the late 1970 and early 1980s when JPE denuded the forests in Cagayan Valley. Now he has the used car business on his own there. I wonder how many Islands he now owns. So you think a guy like him cares for the people? It has to be all his way or no way. Even Gringo who was so idealistic eh nahawaan na rin niya. So sad. But the sudden silence of Gringo is all because of JPE. JPE bailed Gringo out in exchange for an alliance with the pandak!
Mirriam and Pandak are both brendas. One thing they have in common are husbands that are working behind the scenes. Brain damage din itong si Pandak, bakit eh, hindi niya alam ang mahiya!
Pandak, her fat pig husband and their horsie kids have corrupted all our institutions big time! Once they leave, if ever they will, we will be in big time debt and all our monies all gone and the ones left are all their cronies who had already fattened themselves with corrupted money. These maniacs will not be brought to justice because all the justices would have been their cronies as well.
I absolutely agree with you, grizzy.
Regarding Enrile’s used car business (smuggling) in Cagayan, there was supposed to be a hearing on this but didn’t materialize. Jamby Madrigal also exposed Enrile’s illegal logging in Visayas; but the same did not materialize. Now you know why Enrile got the Senate Presidency position. More protection. Between Enrile and Villar, I honestly pick Villar.
Sad but true but all the arms of our government, executive, legislative and judicial branches were created to police one another but under pandak and her foxy husband, all these branches merged and are now but one- THE MAFIA GANG! But the people are still sleeping…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
These three branches are now reduced to theaters where plays are produced and shown everyday with the same leading man and leading lady and supporting actors and actresses and extras! Nakakasawa na talaga!
MANILA, Philippines – Malacañang is not going to ask Jose Miguel Arroyo to attend a Senate hearing on the alleged bribery and collusion that marred projects funded by the World Bank, but it said the First Gentleman has a legal team that is ready to shield him from the chamber’s pressure.
….Isn’t Mike Pidal a lawyer and even an Ateneo graduate? Damn it !
Hard to beat hindsight for prognostication.
How low can one get? Inisip ko lahat ang sinabi ni Ellen sa itaas tungkol sa ginawa ni Brenda. Come to think of it. Sira talaga ang ulo ng ungas kasi pinababa ang sarili sa pagsunod sa mga kriminal dahil kung matino siya, imbes na pagmaang-maangan siya, mag-uutos siya ng full investigation ng kasong ito laban doon sa Fat Ganid based on the report of a very reliable source. Pero iyong sumama pa siya sa pagtatakip ng mga kriminal, abaw ibang usapan na iyan. Accomplice pa ang labas ng lukamberat.
Hindi ba dating hukom ang kumag na iyan? E bakit hindi niya alam ang ginagawa niya na kalokohan?
Susmarya naman, bakit ba naboboto ang ganyang mga bobo? Ang masama pa nagdudunung-dunungan, pero wala naman palang alam. No wonder hindi na umasenso ang Pilipinas! Hindi mo tuloy maipagmalaki.
Tangnanay noong mga kriminal sa Malacanang. So what kung ayaw nilang papuntahin si Mike Ganid sa Senate. E di, hilahin ang hayup na iyan. Wala namang immunity ang isang private criminal na katulad niya. Problema sa Pilipinas, bobo din ang karamihan sa mga mamamayan. Pag sinabi na ng mga kriminal sa Malacanang na manloloko lang naman, paniwala na sila. Ang sabi pa ng mga hangal, “Wala magagawa. Utos ni Gloria iyon e.”
Tangnanay nilang mga bobo sila! Kung gustung ipadakip si Mike Ganid, puede. Kaso ayaw ng mga tamad! Mas masarap daw iyong maghintay ng grasyang ipinamumudmod ng mga Pidal. Di nila alam, pera din nila iyon!
Yup, lawyer nga iyan pero ang pinag-aralan yata sa Ateneo ay kung papaano magiging swindler. Pasang-awa lang yata ang ungas na iyan kaya walang magawang matino!
wondering why world bank is so strict? the ceiling from borrowing has been reached. now it’s the SSS. maybe GSIS?
World bank and other banks will be subject to higher risk if they will continue to lend money to a corrupt country. Lending money to a corrupt regime can become Odious debt. It is a debt by the ruler of the regime but not by the people or the state.
International law: Rule of Law…
WB or other lenders will commit a hostile act against the people, they cannot expect a nation which has freed itself of a despotic regime to assume these odious debts, which are the personal debts of the ruler”
“odious debt is a legal theory which holds that the national debt incurred by a regime for purposes that do not serve the best interests of the nation, should not be enforceable. Such debts are thus considered by this doctrine to be personal debts of the regime that are incurred by them and not debts of the state. ”
The world bank can be a regulatory board that many lenders follow in terms of its rules and regulations in the finance side of politics. WB guidelines conform to the collective views of many financial and banking experts from all over world. WB may also conform to the administration of International Law.
Philippines however is losing its credibility and integrity. Applying this concept at personal level, it means no banks will lend you money because you don’t have the transparency, you don’t follow rules ( what is corrupt or not) , you don’t have enough income on your own but rely on others ( OFW) and you cannot justify your acts that should conform to what is substantially required for free markets to work. The Philippines is making its fake documents in Quiapo. It is run by fake people who practice as if they don’t know the law. This to me is a crime with Malice aforethought plus recklessness. All are voluntary intents to cause social liability for social harm. The causation and result are reflected to what this country has become.
Liability : WB is vicariously liable to the acts of their directors. Lending money to a corrupt country is their own liability. Providing consultation and education to borrowing countries should be accepted as normal procedure for good governance. The problems in our country are the consistent denial of wrong doings inspite of all the reports and surveys made by independent- non profit organization.
matigas ang ulo nang mga officiales. I would consider this type of ‘ulo” as totally ignorant of the law.
Impeachment equals odious debts. 🙂
Off topic: I just watched the replay of PROBE. Lozada was featured. One year after the abduction and he and his family are still not safe adn are staying with the La Salle sisters. The seven of them are cramped into a two bedroom dwelling. What striked me on his revelations are the following: The BIG ROLE of Mike Defensor in trying to arrange a press conference where Lozada was to say that there was no abduction at the airport. Secondly that now Lozada sees the TWO faces of the religious. One group for the truth and the other behind the evil bitch. Thirdly, all the law suits the evil regime can throw on them (husband and wife) had already been filed against them.
Is Mike Defensor Miriam’s brother? Every time I see him I smell something very ROTTEN! He is the pandak’s TROUBLE SHOOTER and FIXER. So, remember this man because if you see him, for sure, the pandak wants something from you and this Mike is the advance party to pave the way for a BRIBE or something else! Watch out if I were you! See these vultures work together in making sure that the pandak stays in power!
Mike Defensor is Miriam’s nephew. Susan Roces called Mike a liar at the height of the Hello Garci scandal when this Little Mike was over the media defending the Evil Bitch. Susan said he’s so young and already a big liar. Mike also belonged to the so called Spice Boys that included Migs Zubiri and Ricky Sandoval. They frequented strip bars and used drugs. I remember one media report saying Mike’s calling card was found in the possession of a GRO. The group was well known in QC Red District…until now.
Thanks Bitche (I like this better) on Mike’s profile. With a life style like that, he sure needs ever flowing money. Where else can that come from?
Most importantly, Lozada said, he is not convinced that the pandak does not know all the corruption by her husband and her underlings.
PSB:
Matagal na niyang alam, even before the late Bing Francisco spilled the beans. Remember that shake-up? Pero anong ginawa ni Pampam. Nag-pretend na wala siyang alam. In fact, ginamit pa ang pangalan ng anak na babae na kunyari na-hurt na sinisiraan ang ama niya. Ulol! Ngayon lumabas, tapalani din iyong anak! Like parents, like children ang mga lahing dugong aso/tikbalang talaga!
I also watched the “Probe”. Lozada’s house which is now vacant was nice and big. It was an emotional interview with his wife her tears all over her face. Among Lozada’s significant comments was when he said there are two faces of the Catholic Priests. And he also said that there was no support from the people after all that he has done for them and the country.
Tongue, the pages that Ping Lacson and Ricky Carandang have are more meaty than the one in the PCIJ link you provided. I saw Ricky’s copy last Tuesday. We were both in a hurry going in different directions , I was not able to have it photo copied.
The office of Sen. Lacson refused to share with me their copies of the report.
Anyway, Harry Roque together with former Transportation Secretary Josie Lichauco and Bettina Legarda of the Concerned Citizens Movement and I wrote World Bank last Wednesday asking for a copy.
Harry said he was informed last Friday that they will post the summary report on Monday. Let’s see if we get the part that details Mike Arroyo’s dirty hands.
just curious: nainom ba ni brenda ang gamot niya? baka nakalimutan kaya inabut at nagwala…
parasabayan: two faces of the religious..Jesuits?(Ateneo)
and the Christian Bros.? (De La Salle)magkaiba talang tunay…
puwede ba kayang tigilan na lamang nila ang ganitong mga imbestigasyon? wala din namang nangyayari, eh!
wala sa senado ang solusyon sa mga katiwalian. hindi rin sa kongreso makukuha ang kasagutan sa ating mga karaingan. at lalong wala korte suprema ang katarungan. gayundin, hinding hindi natin maaasahan ang pagtatanggol sa atin ang buong sandatahang lakas at pambansang pulisya sapagkat abala sa pamumulitika at karamihan ay bayaran ang kanilang mga heneral.
tayong mga narito ay wala ring magagawa kundi ang ganitong pagmamatyag at pagpapaabot sa lahat ng tunay na mga nagaganap lalo na ang mga katiwaliang kaliwa’t kanang kinasasangkutan ng mga ganid sa kapangyarihan.
nasa mamamayang mas pinipili na lamang ang pagpipikit ng mata at pagtatakip ng tainga ang pagkakataon upang lagutin at kalagin ang tanikala ng pagkabusabos na kusa din nilang tinanggap mula sa ganid at walang kaluluwang pamunuan.

Kitang-kita ang naturalesa ni Brenda. Golly, hindi nagre-research bago dumada.
Pero kapalmuks din, hindi nahihiya kahi mabistong nangangapa. Nakakahiya ang walanghiya! Halatang may teleprompter from Malacanang. Diktado ang lahat ng sasabihin for how much kaya?
As for the pamangkin ng lukaret, ang balita noon kabit ni Gloria Libogera!
Taragis, ano kaya kung sabihin ni Obama, “OK, if she insists on seeing me, how about in my bedroom!”? Kaya lang imposibleng mangyari. I doubt kung magkaka-interes naman si Obama doon sa punggok na pampam.
Most of us Filipinos have lost our sense of dignity, as what is being demonstrated by the apathy shown through all the scandals that is being read, watched and listened to in the media. We also need to note, that this gargantuan scandals are the only ones known to the public, surely, some have slipped past our knowledge. If you could just imagine the amount of corruption that is being perpetrated by gloria and her family_Government family, and next of kin.
Why is it that we could only stand aside and watch them, blatantly, steal from us? Lie to us with a straight face and give alibis, that are too far out of this world, that it is beyond logic already, and yet Filipinos accept them.
Could the reason behind all this, is that they (Gloria) are aware that the Filipinos have grown tired of corruption_Big and Small Time, that it is already our way of life. Its like a telenovela (which we have plenty of. Abangan ang susunod na kabanata, until the end of the nobela, hopefully in May 2010. Darn! I myself will not allow this happen, and I hope that many more Filipinos would not allow this to
happen.
I know that most of us, if not all, here at Ellenville, have the means to feed oursleves great meals and indulge in some luxury with little or much to spare. However, we must also think of the less fortunate Filipinos who do not share the same privilege as we do. I am not saying that it is not our problem. My point being is that, there are countless Filipinos, perhaps even more than I could imagine, who are really in dire straits of their lives. Unfortunately, these are the people that gloria prey upon, because she knows, that you give them 3 cents for every peso (97cents into her pocket), due to them would more than suffice.
We have the means to educate our less fortunate countrymen, we are from different places_Demography and Geography wise, we should spearhead the campaign to oust gloria and stop her from further plundering our country into a state that
would be beyond redemption. The alternative will not be as
pleasant if we allow them to continue what they are doing.
Soon enough, there would not be any money left for them to pocket, and this would lead to a harsh civil unrest, seen in the likes of Haiti, Somalia, Congo, Rwanda. We could become a country of lawlessness and haven for all things evil. Presently we are country of No Justice System.
Have Money You Will Be Free.
We have got to move now, or have we given up?
BE, once informed me that there is still hope for this country, I really hope that she is right.
We can not just depend on our present set of politicians, as they have know each other’s tricks since time immemorial.
For me, I think it is time for the people to take back what belongs to the people. It is time to shout and scream at these politicians that Enough is Enough! We would not take your double talks anymore!
I have been frustrated, disappointed, utterly digusted with the way we Filipinos are reacting to the present debacle we are facing. We can do something about this predicament, but many amongst us choose not to get involve. It is time my friends to get involve and be more active.
God Help Us Filipinos. I Pray that God Deliver Us From This Evil_Gloria.
It is most likely that the US govt. is no longer interested with GMA because she is not protecting the interest of US, e.g., its neoliberal ideology. The World Bank is one of its arms to promote its economy. Its ulterior mission is to exploit developing countries. Interest from loans is not considered its main income. WB will be asking a loaner favors and agreements that will benefit its major sponsors, where the US is no. 1. Examples are the free trade agreements, exploitation of mineral and natural resources, major projects and more. Pls. read site below for more info.
http://www.stwr.org/imf-world-bank-trade/decommissioning-the-imf-world-bank-and-wto.html
The WB is based in Washington USA, and is owned by 184 member countries. The majority (40%) of all votes are held by just 7 countries (the G7). The US holds the largest share at 18%, which grants them the ability to veto policies that do not serve US interests.
(excerpts from Intl. Herald Tribune)
In the Philippines, China is making a big splash. The government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo last month announced an extraordinary package of $2 billion in loans every year for the next three years from China’s ExIm Bank.
That made the $200 million offered separately by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank looks puny.
The Chinese aid does not carry penalties for corruption that are being increasingly stressed by the former World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz, and are now under hot debate in Singapore. China’s offers rarely include the extra freight of expensive consultants common to World Bank projects…………………………
Some of GMA’s projects and consolations favoring China ExIm Bank and China
1- Northrail and Southrail – est. $2B
2- Infrastructures –est. $2B
3- NBN-ZTE Telecom – est. $328M
4- Bataan Nuclear Power Plant rehab – est. to cost $1B
5- MOA-AD – US govt. favors a separate BJE state since they are easier to deal with compared to the Phil. Govt. They can then easily exploit its mineral and natural resources, set up a military base somewhere they can have a stranglehold of shipping lanes serving China and Asia. The US govt. has invested millions of dollars in Mindanao just to win the hearts of the Mindanaoans.
6- Spratlys – the Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking (JMSU) with China and Vietnam. The issue is oil and the US oil reserve is fast depleting in 10 years.
It took 3 years for the US neoconservatives to instigate the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos. They don’t like the progress they are seeing under his regime because they can no longer exploit its oil and mineral resources which is considered as one of the world’s richly endowed countries.
GMA has been giving China financial gains through loans, projects, favors and agreements. Further, when the MOA-AD was cancelled, chances for the US to set up its military base in the south became smaller. It might be that the US neoconservatives and WB neoliberals resent on GMA’s extraordinary relation with China.
Will the US govt. then do to GMA with what they did to FM through the WB?
syria,
this time is the good time for GMA to negotiate more loans from China, as long as it will be all Chinese supplied Materials and some Labour as China needs to stimulate her own Economy and would not mind doing it, even if it means setting aside Half of it for Greasing somebody’s behind, including of course that of the FG…
Maydangalpa: Could the reason behind all this, is that they (Gloria) are aware that the Filipinos have grown tired of corruption_Big and Small Time, that it is already our way of life.
*****
You said it. It is not that the Filipinos have grown tired of corruption, but as you have mentioned, it has become their way of life. Take the Filipinos we try hard to invite to join our demonstrations against the sales of Philippine properties in Japan, for instance. Nagpapakain pa kami. Otherwise, walang darating.
Fortunately, there are a lot many Japanese groups willing and able to provide us with the needed manpower to go on. Pati nga Burmese kasama namin. Good enough as far as our movement is concerned.
Ang nakakataka iyong mga pilipinong sabik pang uma-attend ng mga pakulo ni Gloria when she comes. Unbelievable especially when they know that those receptions are paid with their taxpayers’ money and fees paid for consular services, etc. I can’t understand how they can stand it.
Nasanay na sa graft and corruption so much that they think it is normal and that’s that!!! 🙁
Why is it that the Filipino seems to have completely lost its capacity to rage against corruption and evil? As bitchevil wants to say – no momentum there.
Well the Filipino psyche has been and is still being battered left-right-back and front. What we call “bog-bog sarado”. After the euphoria of EDSA 1, everything for the Filipino started spiraling down. Corruption and evil made a comeback, and came back with a vengeance. And the comeback is now highlighted in GMA’s administration. It is difficult to think that GMA is not aware of the corruption surrounding her. Especially those that allegedly involves her husband. Most likely she herself abets and commits such that it has now become the standard in her governance. And the players in this corruption play are the big people around her who are the primary beneficiaries of corruption and evil. That corruption has even now inserted itself into the Catholic Church hierarchy making relevant the observation of Mr. Lozada of the good and bad in the Catholic Church. In this corruption game among the big people, we Filipinos are but tiny “ants” who are trampled on. So we just step aside and be spectators, lest we be trampled on.
Will we ever be able to take back our capacity for outrage against corruption and evil? With elections virtually 15 months from now, it is hard to gauge. Most people I have talked to say they’d rather wait for the elections to vote out of office GMA’s gang and cohorts. Asked if they would join mass action to protest corruption and evil, they say – nothing will happen (wala naman mangyayari kahit mag-mass action) with any mass action. They even are afraid they might get hurt (baka masaktan pa tayo niyan). And I believe the strategist of GMA, the likes of Ermita, Puno, Remonde, Esperon etc. are well aware of this. They know that at present we the people have lost our capacity to rage against corruption and evil. And that’s the tragedy.
Sabi ni Remonde, “show real proof vs Mike Arroyo. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20090208-188139/Show-real-proof-vs-Mike-Arroyo
Sabi naman ni Ermita, “Mr. Arroyo is a private citizen and not a Cabinet official, saying accusations against him can very well be addressed by his law office and spokesman” http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20090206hed1.html
Private citizen pala, eh bakit dinedepensahan si Mike Arroyo ng Press Secretary at iba pang opisyal ng Malacanyang? Hindi ba corrupt practices ang ginagawa nila? Binabayaran sila ng buwis ng mamamayan pero sinasayang ang oras at kagamitan nila para pagtakpan at ipagtanggol ang isang privadong tao?
“Tongue, the pages that Ping Lacson and Ricky Carandang have are more meaty than the one in the PCIJ link you provided.” – Ellen
Exactly, that’s the reason Miriam has now made a turn around and decided to call FG to testify in her committee. All the while she was made to believe the report marked “Confidential” was all. Obviously it was fed by Malacañang people who are still second-guessing Miriam after she appears to have taken a different stance against Gloria after her ICJ bid got lukewarm support.
Nagwalkout siya ng hindi siya ang mag-iinvestigate initially, thinking that she had more info than the others. Now it turns out Lacson has more. If a Roel Landingin can get a “confidential” copy that she has, why can’t anybody? I don’t know if Miriam is going to vent her anger at Malacañang on the way she looked petty with that report. But I sure hope so.
Is Miriam now distancing from Malacanang? After not getting the International Court of Justice position, she has been critical of the Palace.
http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20090209hed6.html
Iyong report apparently hindi na “confidential” at declassified na kaya provided na pati media. Kaya anong katarantaduhan ang pinagsasabi ni Brenda. Taragis bakit di niya utusan iyong mga staff niyang mag-research bago siya bumabalandra. Nahahalata tuloy na kabisote siya.
Hindi siya puede sa ICJ. Magkakalat lang ang lukaret doon. Mapapahiya pa ang Pilipinas at mga pilipino. Puro yabang lang ang alam, wala naman palang binatbat! Pwe!
Actually, mas halatang-halata naman ang isang to sa kanyang man-hunting hahaha!
BE:
Tangnanay ni Brenda. Bakit ngayon lang siya hihirit tapos na iyong breakfast.
I’m not impressed sa mga palabas nila. Nakakasawa na. Iyon namang patotot waldas lang nang waldas ng pera ng bayan para lang makapagpalitrato sa mga sikat kuno na dumalo sa pa-almusal ni PBO. Hambug talaga ang ungas. Ugaling pinoy talaga, iyon bang ugaling nagpapalitrato kasama ng mga dignitaries na hindi naman sila in fact pansin tapos ipagyayabang iyong litrato kung kani-kanino.
Bakyang-bakya talaga! I bet you mapapataas ang kilay ni Hilary pag nalaman na pinapantayan siya ni punggok na supposedly mas mataas ang rangko sa kaniya. Tangnanay ng tanga, mukhang walang alam pati sa mga protocol. Boba talaga!
Trapo as she always is, she may be jumping ship again as 2010 approaches. The Senate should be cleaned of its stupid, lazy and insane senators. On my list are: Lapid, Revilla, Joker, Miriam, Enrile, Zubiri (fake senator).
Reyna:
Iyong litrato ni punggok kasama si Hilary, ibig pa yatang ipalabas na mas nakakalamang siya kay Hilary sa pansin ni Bill. Tignan mo ang arte ng kumag!
Ellen: The office of Sen. Lacson refused to share with me their copies of the report.
*****
That’s in fact the reason why Lacson does not get help from others when he exposes this and that scum. Maramot kasi! Gusto kasi niya siya lang ang bida!
Ang babaw naman ng rason. Basta lang makatira. Lacson is keeping the docs secret to preempt any “rescue” attempts by PSG on the named personalities there. It that difficult enough to understand by a PHD holder?
Lacson has learned his lessons, he named Leo San Miguel as his next witness in secret to the chairman Cayetano, what do you know, Cayetano announced to the whole world San Miguel was coming to testify and we all know how San Miguel was immediately “convinced” by the mafia to say what they had wanted him to say. This time, no more telegraphing of punches.
This is part of a counter-propaganda campaign. For being more resourceful than the others, let him enjoy the privilege of breaking the details himself.
Lacson is a PMAer and used to be an intelligence officer. Many witnesses were lost, threatened and even killed. Information about VIPs as high as Mike Pidal cannot just be trusted to anyone much more to Malacanang allies like Miriam.
Lacson learned his lesson. This time, he wants to make sure that his witnesses are protected.
Inihalintulad kahapon ni Press Sec. Cerge Remonde si GMA kay Hesukristo dahil sa umano’y kulang na suporta at papuri mula sa sariling bayan.
Double mortal sin. He used the name of God in vain and he compared GMA with God.
Alam niyang mabigat na kasalanan ito kanya nangumpisal kaagad siya sa kay Padre Dam Aso ng Palasyo pagkatapos ng press con. Sabi niya, “parikoy, patawarin mo ako ako’y nasuhulan para sabihin ko sa press con ….blah, blah, blah.”
Ang sagot ni Padre Dam Aso, “mabigat ang kasalanan mo pare. Mura lang naman ang iyong kapatawaran, isang manok”.

If they keep on comparing the Evil Bitch to Jesus Christ, then by all means let them crucify her. Put her on the cross and nail her hands and feet including her mole (using biggest nail).
Finally, Meriam got her wish, the ICJ or the International Cook of Justice after GMA’s endorsement.
Its Order of the Day – Testimony through Deposition. A pig shit marinated deep fried pig’s bat and balls seated on a pig’s mouth spewing fresh craps.
RE: Inihalintulad kahapon ni Press Sec. Cerge Remonde si GMA kay Hesukristo dahil sa umano’y kulang na suporta at papuri mula sa sariling bayan?
I’m shocked Airos, si gloria ihahalintulad sa Panginoong Hesukristo? Nababaliw na siguro itong si Remonde, di alam ang sinasabi…ang amo niyang kurap at sinungaling e wala nang respeto kahit na sa Panginoon, kapal talaga ng muks!
Thanks God I’m now able to log into this blog. It’s been a while.
Miriam wants Mike Arroyo’s testimony through deposition (this is the headline):
May I ask our fellow blogger Atty. here what “deposition” means? Is Miriam going to ask Mike Arroyo how much he has deposited? Does the word “deposit” comes from the word “deposition”?
Deposition – a sworn statement made out of Court. In US procedure, it is requested of a potential witness before trial; the witness is examined just like he would be, were he/she in court. When trial is conducted, and the witness testifies, sometimes the deposition is used to impeach the witness (cast doubt on his credibility), because he stated otherwise in the deposition.
This is part of the “discovery process” in US procedure. Show me your evidence, and I will show you mine. Then we do battle in court. This is the gentlemanly way (no surprises) – I show you all my weapons, you show me yours, so the battle is fair.
Thanks atty. You’re so prompt in your response. You’ve been very helpful with your legal knowledge in this blog. I was just kidding above. I know what deposition means. Again, thanks.
We also a provisions for discovery in the Rules of Court. But it is rarely used. The Pinoy lawyer (including yours truly) prefers to go straight to trial.
Sorry we also have.
What advantage is there if the lawyer goes straight to trial? I think it benefits more to the complainant. Respondent prefers deposition, right? It’s kinda delaying tactic.
At least Halliburton of Dick Cheney and company who cornered all the contracts in the Iraq war for profit is registered and paying whatever corporate income taxes due.
Big Mike and Gloria’s “consulting and commissioning” firm who controls and corners all government contracts is operating under the table with millions/billions in income and never paid income taxes to the government. A case of hitting the people and the government in one shot.
“Tongue:Obviously it was fed by Malacañang people who are still second-guessing Miriam after she appears to have taken a different stance against Gloria after her ICJ bid got lukewarm support.”
This looks plausible. They used Miriam, as they have always done in the past.
Naisahan si Brenda.
She is Gloria’s. So she will protect Mike and Gloria. It’s up to the people not to allow her and the Arroyos to get away with this.
Papayag ba tayo na palagi na lang niloloko?
There is no advantage. Tamad lang (guilty Your Honor). Besides, the Pinoy client will object, because that is extra expense (por hora, for work done not in court). This is where the Kano lawyers make money. They say “Sorry Counsel, I got caught in traffic. Anyway, your hour is being paid. Right?”
A deposition is actually very useful, because the witness is boxed in by what he says in the deposition. That way, if any new development occurs in the case, which may prompt him to “rephrase” his testimony, you can confront him/her with “Didn’t you state under oath that …..?” That is what is usually shown in shows like Law and Order etc.
BE: Thanks God I’m now able to log into this blog. It’s been a while.
Ay naku, BE, sinabi mo . This blog was inaccessible for a few hours early this morning. I had to call my blog administrator about it.
Glad to be back online.
I’m sure many are monitoring this blog. Anyway, Mike Pidal, Manny Pacquiao and Abalos played golf very recently. If Mike could play golf, why can’t he attend the Senate hearing?
Lacson was well aware that Enrile was one of the door-keepers of Gloria and Mike in the Senate yet he authored and handed in a silver platter the Senate presidency to him. If in the event that Enrile turns out to be the jerk that he was, Lacson will be having another baggage to carry around his neck that will further lessen his shot at the presidency come 2010.
Florry, at this point, the issue is no longer whether Lacson miscalculated Enrile and Santiago’s pact with Gloria Arroyo.
It’s now up to us, the people, to do something about our country.
Let us not ask one person to save us. We should save ourselves.
Enrile will be where the gold is. We’re not sure if Enrile is now on Evil Bitch’s side. One thing is certain…he and Erap remains to be very close. Between Erap and Gloria, there’s no question Enrile will be for Erap who’s with the opposition. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Erap running…but whoever he endorses.
Enrile has always been for himself. Where he would benefit,
that is where he would forge his alliance with.
I totally agree with Ellen. It is up to us Filipinos if we would allow the shenanigans of gloria and her family to
continue. The politicians are really playing politics and merely trying to get the most media mileage and pogi points
in the run up to the May 2010 elections. Without them realizing that these scandals also provide a great smokescreen on the other plans of gloria, which is Cha-Cha with Nograles at the helm.
It is long overdue that we retake what is rightfully ours.
Notice the increasing number of street mendicants and scavengers. Had the government not pocketed the monies due to the people, this number would not increase, on the contrary, it should have decreased. Especially kids who should have been in schools getting education, even piecemeal education_at least they would be getting some
basic schooling.
The Time Is Now.
The people have been fasting for so long..walang makakain..it is time for crucifixion..kaya she should be nailed..total taga Pampanga siya..hindi ba marami ang nagpapako sa kanila…she should do it too..magpapako siya sa Good Friday..after all sabi ng mga apostoles niya she is being crucified like Jesus Christ..at ang mga Hudas should hang themselves too…
But Rose, what if she rises again on the third day?
BE: Before the third day the people will rise..and that will be the resurrection of the country..gloria ang mga tao…dahil wala na si gloria…
ang sabi ni tiriring brenda..she will call Tabby to testify so putot’s credibility will be proven..is she for real?..calling on him to testify? ginaabot lang seguro..
It seems to me that the invitations for national day of prayer in Washington DC were given to ambassadors of different countries. Looks like the invitation reserved for Philippines ambassador was in turn given to con artist fake president gloria arroyo pidal so that the phil ambassador will get tongpats from her. Maybe that’s explain why pekpek president was at the audience and was not even recognize by Obama. She was never invited in that gathering that’s why she was not recognized by Obama.
Gloria ikinumpara kay Hesukristo

‘buti hindi pinagsasakitan ng tiyan ang asawa’t anak nito sa pagkaing galing sa pagtatanggol sa pinakahayup na babaeng sumingaw sa mundong ito?
Didn’t ane of the tongressmen compare her to Jesus to at the impeachment hearing. Wow! she already has a CULT!
Ano ba iyan? Czarina at propheta pa. Sige paki-pako sa krus at saka tadtarin ng kurot at kiliti hangang matepok.
Speaking of depositions, a deposition is not a substitute for a court appearance. Hindi puwedeng sabihin sa court, “Puwede ba, hindi na lang ako uupo sa witness stand, deposition na lang?”
So if the Senate hearing is likened to a court hearing, allowing a deposition instead of appearance is cheapening the Senate hearing. If you watched “Find Me Guilty” by Vin Diesel, yung Mafioso na akusado ay dinala sa court daily na nakasuwero, sa isang kama, araw-araw ng kanyang hearing (he was on bail) along with his mafioso co-accused. Ito ay matapos tigilin ng ilang araw nang siya’y malubha.
Tawa lang si Taba, nalalaro niya ang Senado; may sakit kung may hearing, wala kung mag-go-golf.
Any teacher will tell you, if you allow the excuse of “My dog ate my homework”, your students will start to treat you with contempt. Lalala ang mga palusot, dahil kulembot ang guro. Nakalusot na yong “I am sick” kahit hindi. Ngayon, sinasabi na niyang “I will be sick if you call me. If not, I play golf.”
Lumipas na talaga ang panahon ni Old Man Tañada, Peping Diokno at Soc Rodrigo. Ang ipinalit, hunyangong komedyante (Joker), Anak ni Nardong Putik, at isang Brenda.
Yang bypass na yan, wasn’t that done in April 2007? Almost two years ago? Di ba’t si Pidol ay na-bypass din? And he’s 80 already.
Magbigay naman kayo ng kapani-paniwalang palusot. Para yang “I did not read the MOA-AD.”
atty,
katulong nitong si tabang lamig sa paglalaro sa senado ang may tililing na si miriam.
palibhasa nga ay napaglipasan na ng panahon kaya ang ginagawa niya ay maliwanag na double standard.
paano na tayo? ang taong bayang lugmok na sa hirap bunga ng kanilang kutsabahan?
senadogas. kotongreso. korte(ng) sobre na. sagingang bayan. ubosnama’am. pulis ni pidal. armed forces of the pidals. comolec.
kanila ng lahat!
Sometimes fighting Corruptions will cost dearly in terms of monetary lose to the Government in what could be taken back as the return, but as the Lawyer for the Government stated, the most important issue is the preservation of the Good Name of the Government and the Province…here is the story…

BE: If they keep on comparing the Evil Bitch to Jesus Christ, then by all means let them crucify her. Put her on the cross and nail her hands and feet including her mole (using biggest nail).
******
Good punch, BE. Hindi lang sa mole dapat ipako. Pati doon sa ari para maalis ang kati ng talandi!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
Ellen: It’s now up to us, the people, to do something about our country.
*****
Sinabi mo pa. Taragis, pati si Obama gusto pang abalahin sa pagpapatanggal kay Gloria Dorobo e hindi na problema ng mga kano na pinaupo nila iyong dorobo lalo pa si Obama na wala namang kinalaman sa kasong ito. Ngayon pa na patong-patong ang problema ng America. Puede ba ipakita na ng mga pilipino ang mga tapang nila kung meron pa. Baka naman wala nang natirang he-man sa Pilipinas a?
Sabi ng baklang kausap ko, “Ate, meron naman natira. Ihi-man! Iyong naiihi sa takot!” Bwahahahahaha! 😛
Deposition, my ass! Ano naman ang ide-depose ni Fat Ganid? Na wala siyang kasalanan? Ulol! Tangnanay niya! Bistado na siya humihirit pang inosente siya.
Buti na lang off-limit na siya sa Tate. Kundi nasa SFO na naman pihado iyan gaya ng dating modus operandi ng ungas with the consent of his accomplice, the great dorobo. Takot pumunta doon ang ungas kasi doon siya madadale gaya ng nangyari doon sa kamukha niyang baboy na duda ko kapatid niya either sa ama o ina!!!
Hindi pa siya mamatay para mabawasan na ang mga ulupong sa mundong ibabaw!!!
somehow if you think about it, one of the reasons why Santiago did not bag the ICJ panelist was GMA endorsement, because the people who voted for these judges already knew Santiago will be biased in case GMA or any member of her Administration will someday have their day before the International Court of Justice. You dance with the Devils, you fall alongside with them or as the old wild, wild west saying goes, “you ride with the outlaws, you hang with ’em Outlaws…” and the sheriff will spit right on your feet.
Substantial excerpts from the WB report are now available at the VERA Files website. http://www.verafiles.org
Papaano palang hindi magkakasundo si Fatso at si Brenda e they speak the same language. Parehong sakim at ganid pa!
To be aboveboard, talking about gloria and her husband is a waste of time but because gloria is heavily indebted to the filipino people for becoming a president (although) up to now gloria hasn’t proved that she really won the 2004 election. Anyway, GOD knows the truth. Mirriam Defensor Santiago is not worth my time. She may not be abnormal, but not normal either.She (Mirriam) is a fair- weather person. Mike Arroyo, on the other hand is a scrooge, a scoundrel. All he wants are power, money and fame. He doesn’t think of the stigma his grandchildren will definitely suffer from in the future. How can Gloria Arroyo win against FPJ in the 2004 election when Gloria doesn’t have the CACHE?
Ellen tordesillas seems to act as perfect.. come on girl, don’t be stupid.. miriam has contributed somehow to the country and i doubt if you did the same..
You better clean your house..
