Mag-ingat sa tuso

Kayo ba ay naniniwala na talagang tatakbo si Gloria Arroyo bilang kongresista ng Pampanga sa 2010 eleksyon?

Malakas ang kutob ko na isa na namang pakulo niya ito at meron talaga siyang ibang maitim na balak. Suspetsa ko diversionary tactic lang ito.

Nakakapagtaka kasi sila mismo ang nagpapalutang. Si Arroyo mismo. Sinabi nya sa kanyang talumpati, “anong malay nyo, baka tumakbo akong kongresista sa Pampanga.” Ito ay sinundan ng mga pahayag ng kanyang deputy spokesperson na si Lorelei Fajardo na wala namang batas na nagbabawal na tumakbong kongresista.

No sovereignty in own territory

The four-month old Philippine baseline law got its first test last Friday and it failed miserably and embarrassingly.

Last Friday, CNN reported a Chinese submarine collided with an underwater sonar array towed by the destroyer USS John S. McCain off the Philippines.

Other wire reports from Washington D.C. described the location as “off Subic Bay” in Zambales. Chinese media said the encounter was near Scarborough Shoal.

Breaking news:

The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition filed by two lawyers seeking to nullify House Resolution 1109 which seeks to convene lawmakers into a constituent assembly, even without the approval of the Senate.

In its ruling, the high court said the issue on the constituent assembly was premature and lacked a justiciable issue.

The petitioners – lawyer Oliver Lozano and his daughter, lawyer Evangeline Lozano – said HR 1109 was railroaded by the House of Representatives to extend the term of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo beyond 2010.

Gloria Arroyo and solons back to their junket

It was only during the trip to South Korea, scheduled at the time of the railroading of HR 1109, that Gloria Arroyo’s toadies (Palaka) didn’t enjoy their usual junket. Now, they have resumed the shameless looting of the Philippine government treasury.

Who’s afraid of the flu? 16 solons, kin join GMA trip

by Peter Tabingo

Sixteen members of the House of Representatives and their spouses, children, and staff members, are joining President Arroyo’s official trips this month to Japan and Brazil, both countries with confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1).

Brazil has 52 confirmed cases while Japan has 549 as of June 12, according to the World Health Organization.

Arroyo is leaving tomorrow for the Japan visit which will last up to June 20. Her Brazil trip is from June 21 to 25.

Desperada

Palagi natin tinatanong kung bakit sa dami-daming kasalanan ni Gloria Arroyo sa taumbayan – pagnanakaw ng boto, pagnanakaw ng kaban ng bayan, pagnanakaw ng kinabukasan,pagnanakaw ng pag-asa – bakit hindi siya napaparusahan?

Nakikita natin na patuloy siyang sa pwesto samantalang sa buong mundo, ang mga lider na kalingkingan ang kasalanan ikumpara sa ginawa at patuloy pang ginagawa na krimen sa bayan ay natanggal na.

Palagi nating tinatanong kung ano ba ang malaking kasalanan ng sambayanang Pilipino bakit pinaparusahan tayo sa pamagitan ni Arroyo sa Malacañang?

Chinese sub slams US destroyer’s sonar near Scarborough shoal

From Inquirer online:

WASHINGTON (Agence France Presse)– A Chinese submarine collided with an underwater sonar array towed by the destroyer USS John S. McCain off the coast of the Philippines, CNN television said, quoting a US official who said it was an “inadvertent encounter.”

The array, used to locate underwater sounds, was damaged in the incident, but the military official said the sub and ship did not collide.

The US Navy did not consider the event a case of deliberate harassment, CNN reported.

Walang perfect crime

Ang nangyari kay Ruby Rose Barrameda Jimenez ay isang patunay na walang “perfect crime”.

Kahit gaano kagaling ang pagka-plano ng isang krimen, lalabas na lalabas ang katotohanan. Sa kaso ni Ruby Rose, dalawang taon bago lumabas ang katotohanan.

Si Ruby Rose, 27 taong gulang, ay biglang nawala noong March 14, 2007. Nang nawala siya, may kaso siyang isinampa sa kanyang asawa para makuha ang kanyang mga anak.

AFP studying charges vs. Lim on Cha-Cha call

by Victor Reyes
Malaya

Military lawyers are determining whether detained Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim could be charged again for violating the Articles of War.

The former Scout Rangers chief on Wednesday asked soldiers to make a stand on the moves of Palace allies to amend the Constitution, and not to allow themselves to be used.

The call was contained in a message read during the multi-sectoral, anti-Charter change mass action in Makati City.
