Philippine congressmen are the hardest working in the world.
Even if the legislative body will soon be on recess, most of its members have chosen to continue toiling and have decided to call a special session at MGM Las Vegas on Nov. 14.
A source of pride… the congressmen’s exemplary dedication makes paying taxes well worth it.
From the Inquirer:
House exodus for Pacquiao fight begins
by Gil Cabacungan
At least 20 members of the House of Representatives, including Speaker Prospero Nograles, have left the country for points overseas, mostly the United States, beginning last week for meetings, vacations and, possibly, to watch the fight between Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 14 (Nov. 15 in Manila).
A source in the House said that with more legislators expected to leave on foreign trips this week, it was doubtful there would be a quorum when Congress resumes sessions on Nov. 9.
Nograles reportedly flew to Washington D.C. with five other congressmen for an engagement with their counterparts on Capitol Hill.
The source said that some lawmakers, like Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, might opt to stay in the US a few days longer to watch the Pacquiao-Cotto fight at the MGM Grand Arena.
A Pacquiao fight overseas has always attracted Philippine government officials who leave everything behind to see and be seen at the fight venue.
Completing a quorum in the House in the next session is also expected to be a problem as many of the lawmakers will be busy preparing for the filing of their certificates of candidacy for next year’s election which is at the end of the month.
May they catch H1N1!
maski na magtataray tayo, at magmura ng magmura, wala din po mangyayari,as long as we don`t educate our voter`s and our people to paticipate seriously on election matters, nothing will happen,our country is run by people to punish it`s own people, it`s already in our system..maybe our too much conservatism and being so individualistic and selfishness that this things is happenning, parang karma po..old people in the goverment want to stay forever, they don`t believe in young ones to inject new ideas, masyado tayong makaluma, pati mga party list na ka gaya ng magdalo ay ayaw bigyan ng pagkakataon..ang laging tama ay ang matatanda, maski mali..hanggat hindi nagbabago ang ugali nating pinoy, wala pong magyayari sa ating bayan..let us all wake up..!!let us have a change in our country..!!!
Siyempre, they want their pictures taken with Time Asia’s latest cover. At magpapabakuna ng AH1N1 vaccine kasi wala pa tayo nun dito sa Pinas. May mga health clinic kasi sa Tate na nagpapabayad para sa bakuna para mapa priority ka. Muriatic acid sana maiturok sa kanila. . .
Our Baguio solon, yaman-yaman na; dati human rights lawyer lang. Daming fanatics pa rin na nagsasabing hindi raw corrupt even some journalists.
Speaking of Las Vegas, dami ring mga ganid sa atin na may mga bahay dun and all of them thugs claim it’s due to their hardwork. Just like the piggy junior, became rich due to sweat and tears.
Are you refering to Domogan? Lahat yata ng pilipit ng batas ginawa niyang hinayupak na yan para maisalba si Donya. Hindi pa ilaglag yan sa Kennon Road.
10-four! Mag mayor na naman daw at yung si Vergara na dating tongressman na dating mayor, pasok naman na tongressman. Pero, matalino ang mga botante ng Baguio. Lusot sya last time by an eyelash, daming barangay ang binagsakan ng pera. Sana not this time. Yung kababata kung vice-mayor ngayon (Danny Farinas, parents from Bicol), walang money machine kaya pa bise na lang. Bait nito, he put himself thru college and to law school.
Di kita nasagot sa last thread about sa mga “patay”. Had the bout with K9 Flu. Sasabihin ko sana, pagnamatay si Atong Ang o si Erap; dapat ibalsamo sila ng isang taon para may sugal gabi-gabi, imagine one year na dalamhati, hehe…
Magpakasasa sila at baka last fight na ni Pacman ito sa ring. Di ba magiging tongressman na siya? Nakupo baka sa tongress eh magiging sabungan at harem. Pacman is hanging around big time crooks like sabit.
OT but relatively incomptent action and reason of law enforcers and protectors of our community:
Abandoned Zambo City church bombed
“….Police responded to the church several hours after the bombing. They said the residents failed to immediately report the blast…”
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/11/07/09/abandoned-zambo-city-church-bombed
Tangna! Kailangan pa bang i-report ng mga residente ang ganitong paghahasik ng karahasan?
A few blocks away from the scene is a detachment of 18th Inf Bn augmented by CAFGU elements, wala man lang kumilos?
Mga kagalanggalang na hepe ng Pambulsang este Pambansang Pulisya at Hukbong Sandatahan, please lang po, pakiusap kawawa naman ang mga sibilyan kung palaging ganiuto kainutil ang inyong mga tauhan.
Mga dashung kotonggresmen ‘yan!
Lalo na itong si Mikey d’horseshit na walang ginawa kundi ang magmalinis subalit litaw ang kamanhiran sa dinaranas na pagdurusa ng ating mga kababayan bunga ng sapinsaping dagok ng kalikasang silang mga dayukdok sa salapi at kapangyarihan ang puno’t dulong dahilan.
Kung ‘yun ba namang ipinagpapasarap nilang ‘yun ay inilagi nila sa piling ng kanilang mga nasasakupan at ang ginagastos nila ay itinutulong sa mga nasalanta baka medyo matuwa pa ang mga botanteng kanilang pinaglololoko?
Kunsabagay, ano ba naman ang aasahan natin sa mga mambabatas na itong puro lang panlalamang at pangongotong ang alam?
Maplatan sana ng pakpak ang mga eroplanong kanilang sasakyan pauwi sa Pilipinas o kaya ay gumuho ang uupuan nila habang nanonood ng ng laban ni Pakyaw!
Madadagdagan na naman ang mga bobo sa house of representative
kapag nanalong tongressman si “pacquiao”. tamang-tama pa exit na si lito lapid papasok naman si pacquiao…. may audience pa rin hikhikhik
Baka naman may quorum sa Vegas. They can conduct business after the fight.
Doon na lang gawin ang cha-cha.
And now since most healthy people are not in the priority risks group for vaccinations chances are those that will be watching the Boxing Match not vaccinated yet and may infect the Opportunist Congressmen of the Republic of the Philippines…
On this Note..not knowing that the roll-0ut of vaccines might be delayed, some So Famous group jumped the Quee for the vaccines and in Alberta,those that were responsible were fired and the investigation continue..The Millionaire Hockey Players got their before the Pregnant women and the 5 years Old and in Ontario, the Health Minister who did not get hers, yet also will do Investigate after the campaign since the Toronto Raptors NBA teams, the Hockey Players (men) and the Hospital Boards of Directors also were all Pregnant and 5 years old…and that can not be, since the Raptors are still all males…

Of course, I got mine ahead of evryone, but it is up for my Doc to explain…I am not pregnant and I am way over 5 years old too…
But my Doc just said, I am covered under the 4 other categories of Priority Risks..well and good, Doc. Have to Line up for 2 hours for my Brother’s 4 years old grandson though.
Sa Las Vegas na rin magkakabayaran ng panalo-talo ang mga tongressmen.
trublue, baka makita mo ang mga halimaw dyan.
Mikey Arroyo may visit his $1.32 Million mansion at 1655 Beach Park Blvd.,Foster City,CA. Baka natabunan na ng alikabok.
They are makapal!
Chi, believe it or not; rarely go to that side of town and if I do, to pick up visitors, I don my blinkers on (wink)since the tunnel heading to the airport is under repair.
Quite difficult to identify these thieves, they have that Jokers Smile ala Jack Nicholson.
