Estrada
Estrada
The presidential bid of Joseph Estrada can be summarized in three words: it is about I, Me and Myself. He is the male counterpart of the faded silent movie-era star Nora Desmond in Billy Wilder’s classic film, “Sunset Boulevard.” It tells of a failed screen writer who gravitates to Desmond, who dreams of making a cinematic comeback. In the end she kills the screenwriter in a jealous fit, and ends up losing all touch with reality, thinking that the news crews covering the murder are a film crew that has begun filming her comeback role.

One of the Nora Desmond character’s famous lines is “I am big! It’s the pictures that got small.” In his mind, Joseph Estrada is still the big shot matinee idol, champion and idol of the masses; but the reality is it’s his fantasy of relevance that has enlarged over time even as his box office and electoral clout has diminished. This is not to say that the clout has evaporated totally or that he hasn’t retained his fan base. He obviously still does.

The surveys show him increasing his percentage but it needs to be asked if this is purely a function of his reclaiming his constituency, or more the interaction of official concessions and that constituency rallying because of these unexpected signs of official favor.

Prior to Estrada’s throwing his hat into the ring, the legal consensus was that the Constitution prohibited former presidents from seeking the presidency. This was a view we believe was widely shared by the public. The Palace, for its part, had tried to limit Estrada’s freedom of political action by holding over his head a condition in his pardon that stated he would give up political aspirations. But when the deadline for the filing of candidacies for 2010 approached, the Palace itself announced it had no intention of blocking his comeback plans.

The Comelec, so strict in the case of party lists like Ang Ladlad and presidential candidates such as Nicanor Perlas, lapsed into uncritical promiscuity in the case of Estrada. Where once the legal consensus was that Estrada would have to appeal a Comelec dismissal of his candidacy, the burden of proof shifted to those who might want to oppose Estrada’s Comelec-approved candidacy before the Supreme Court. The possibility of Estrada’s candidacy eventually being voided as constitutionally-impermissible remains; but the hurdles have been magically cleared so far, and this can only foster Estrada’s delusions not only of himself, but also with the electorate.

And for no other purpose than self-gratification: his I, Me and Myself candidacy is premised on recovering the position he lost by virtue of his own indolence, irresponsibility and blitheness after being elected to the presidency in a voters’ revolt against the status quo. Now he is all about restoring the status quo, pre-Edsa Dos.

It is as if Edsa Dos had never happened. Ironically, he has become joined at the hip with the administration that replaced him in the sense that both have reacted to Edsa Dos with an insistence on impunity. Estrada insists he never did any wrong; Arroyo insists (along with Estrada) that Edsa Dos itself was wrong and both prefer that all memory and commemoration of it be discarded and forgotten.

Estrada was the heedless beginning, just as Ms Arroyo is the vindictive end, of a lost decade in terms of growth, stability and opportunity because each represents an unhealthy extreme—charismatic leadership for the former and unimaginative management for the latter—and both refused to be tied to ethics. It is no wonder that they have found common purpose in attacking Edsa Dos because the former provoked it, and the latter betrayed it. So the administration has acted like a drug pusher in being the enabler of Estrada’s sense of impunity to a Constitution both have observed mainly in the breach.

The comeback Estrada wants is not about the country. It is about addiction. The same lust for gambling, drinking and womanizing that led Estrada to bungle the presidency is making him run regardless of how his nostalgia for lost power promises nothing but a return to failure.

    Sino sa dalawa, Erap??.. o NoyNoy…isang tula para sa LP:

    E-eruption nangyari, sa dalawang taong pagsilbi,
    buhay niya, mula pa sa Asiong Salonga kumubli.
    Guhit sana ng tadhana, malayo sa pagsisi,
    pinaka-walan pa, parang barumbado palagi.
    Nasilip tuloy ni Gloria, pati na FG,si Mikey,
    ang lambot ng kanyang puso, basta’t nasa babae.
    Nasayang na panahon, kasama sa mga byahe,
    kalukuhang ibinintang, nasa kanya parati !

    R-ru-ruk ( lalim ) ng kalooban nya, tuloy sinubukan,
    pagbulgar ng ” hoodlums in robe ” sya din ang naputukan.
    unti-unti sana si Erap, nag-pahinay-hinay,
    kasi kulang siya ng inpluwensya sa Militar.
    Itong grupo ni FG, matagal ng maysamahan,
    tyempo at oras lamang ang mga nasasandalan.
    ng makuha ang utak ng sugal, siya’y niyurakan,
    Palasyo-Malakanyang siya ay pinag-taksilan !

    A–a-anhin pa kaya, kanyang ” style “, di ba luma na ?
    pangalan niya, at buhay nasa, kasay-sayan na.
    magunaw man ang mundo, mga lindol umabot pa,
    binyagang Erap, galing-talino, di mabubura.
    Marami tuloy nag-isip, kung ANONG OBHITO NYA ?
    sa Bayan ? sa Diyos ? reporma ? o maka-PAMILYA ?
    naman sumulong, baguhin takbo ng politika,
    Buong-Mundo-Bayan, sa Pilipinas sawang-sawa na !

    P–pare-pariho, kunti lang siguro and lalabas,
    ng estilo ng pagka-pangulo, kung sya’y ba-basbas.
    bakit di na lang ikiling sa LP-NOYNOY at ROXAS,
    di pa natikman, malinis, may sinasabing pantas.
    S’pat (4) na ” front-runners ” tila siya’y tunay na Batas,
    tutulong-pumanaw-magulang, mataas ang antas.
    Sila (LP) marahil, grupong tatayong tunay na Parak,
    at baguhin ang maling patakbo sa Pilipinas !
    …end…

  5. I think ang mananalo na presidente ay si Villar hindi si Erap or Noynoy.

  6. Kahit na ayaw ko kay Villar but I really see na siya ang mananalo in the future.

    i think it will be erap..because the philippine is a very poor country, and poor filipinos goes underdog always..!!! erap was demonized from the start of his presedency, that even the late cardinal sin message to the filipinos where..”anybody but erap” erap was the victim of hypocrite society in the philippines, and led by the elite who hates being led by erap who they think is a bad example..in which they think erap is un educated and womanizer.. erap won the biggest margin of votes, compare to any philippine president.. the philippines must learn to respect the will of majority whoever he/she is..!!! and that is the essence of democracy..!!!

    This editorial from the Philippine Daily Inquirer refreshes my memory of how this paper treat Erap from the beginning. They have been his no. 1 critic for some unknown reasons since time immemorial. You know it is a fact that most of their writers and correspondents could be bought. Ramon Tulfo started it all. I am not surprised therefore if this paper resumes attacking Erap, now, that he is cleared to run by the Comelec. A neutral paper should know how to respect decisions otherwise they lose the credibility of being fair and partial.

    Amihan, wag ka sanang magdilang anghel. Kung manalo si Villar, baka maging santa (saint) si Glueria, dahil di hamak na mas grabe ang taong iyan. Hindi nga ba santo si Marcos kumpara kay Gluerilla.

    “…the Palace itself announced it had no intention of blocking his comeback plans.”

    In return, binisita ni Erap si Goyang sa EK.

    US government and Jesuits wants Noynoy. Wall Street Journal published Noynoy’s copycat phrase of red my lips, no new taxes, that should tell you something. Jesuits wants Aquino since Cory’s time.

    Villar is the secret manok of pandak, as shown by secret meeting between pandak and Villar in Spain.

    Erap is the manok of masa.

    We should ban both the Namfrel and Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting because they are just instruments of manipulations against the will of the people. PPCRV is a Jesuit control organization which is supportive of Noynoy. They are not neutral organization. If the race is close, they will give the winning margin to Noynoy. Namfrel was part of gloria’s machine to cheat and during the time of Cory they cheated in favor of Cory.

    In 1992, Fidel V. Ramos won the presidency by capturing only 23 percent of the votes, with a mere 900,000 plurality over his closest rival. Our people accepted his victory, because the elections were validated by an independent and competent Comelec supported by a credible PPCRV.

    Guni-guni lang lahat ang mga ipinupukol kay Erap. Sabi ko naman na lalaban kami ng patas … hindi kami mandadaya … manalo kung manalo talo kung talo.
    Bawat tao may pangarap at kung talagang pangarap niya ulit na maging Pangulo hayaan lang …. wala namang masama ang mangarap di ba. Pero kung mandadaya o manloloko ka para makamit mo ang iyong pangarap ay iba yon kahit gaano ka pa kadunong.
    Kung ang mga Aquino’s nga na medyo matitino ay pilit pinapasama ng ilan. Kung si Cory noon ni wala tayong narinig na tumongpats, na pinatayuan niya ng bahay ang mga anak sa atin at sa Amerika, ni hindi siya nagpatayo ng bagong bahay niya na gaya ni Ramos na ngayon nasa Ayala Alabang siya … pilit na hinahanapan ng butas para mapasama lang sila.
    Basta’t ako ay kay Erap … inagaw nila ang bagay na ibinigay sa kanya ng nakakaraming Pilipino ng walang pandaraya. Sinamantala nila ang pagkakataon nakaw dito nakaw doon, patayan dito patayan doon, pandaraya dito pandaraya doon … ngayon ang mga pagkakasala na ibinintang nila sa taong ito ay hanggang ngayon isinisisi pa kanya. Na para bang mas masama pa siya kaysa mga taong nagsamantala. Gisiiiing kayo!!!!!!

    In my book, The Philippine Daily Inquirer has lost all credibility where Erap is concerned.

    It’s one mainstream medium that has never been objective where Erap is concerned so it’s very difficult to believe that they will ever be objective at all.

    The Philippine Daily Inquirer can boast of helping topple a legitimate president of the Republic while the impeachment process was going on. We all know that the Inquirer is complicit in the violation of the Constitution.

    In that respect, to me, although the Inquirer does report ‘judiciously’ on other matters outside of Erap (I’m also dubitative on many of its reports) they cannot, however, claim to hold the high ground when it comes to writing the truth.

    The Inquirer and many of its columnists are partly responsible for the political chaos this country finds itself in and are a huge cause of why Gloria is in power today.

    So to the Inquirer, I’d like to say, bugger off! When you have atoned for your sins against the Filipino people for being party to the shitting of the Constitution, then you may claim a high ground, but you truly need to crawl to get there for you to regain some credibility. Otherwise, you’ll remain the lil parochial newspaper that’s populated by lil people with lil minds from lil parochial places.

  15. Erap Wins,GMA Declared Martial Law

    Day after the May 2010 Presidential Election in the Philippines,Erap wins and the Comelec declared a failure of election and at the same time Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared Martial law.The country is in chaos. Hundreds of thousands people in all walks of life then it swell to a million of angry citizens will protest and march on Malacanang demanding Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s head. Some of these citizens will be accidently shot and wounded by the PSG but one of the angry protesters actually gets to Sec.Eduardo Ermita who is found lying in a janitor’s closet outside of his executive secretary’s office with a strange grin on his face. No one knows why.

    The press secretary,DND secretary, and the chief-of-staff are also found there, skipping arm in arm and circling the body praying, “Hail Mary”

    The event will be the catalyst for the national mobilization of angry citizens of all persuasions to take the country back. Media outlets that keep the status quo will become targets of that anger. They are boycotted and go out of business. Local politicians who refuse to listen to the people will also become targets.

  16. They are voted out of office.The speaker of the house is accidentally trampled to death when the sons and brother-in-law of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo run from the House floor and flee for their lives. He dies with a strange grin on his face and beyond recognition. The only one who knows why is a partylist congressman who could not control his laughter, and he is not telling.

    All business are close and will fail from looting. Foreigners and tourist arm with Polaroid camera will witness the depth of the commitment and determination of the Filipino citizens to put an end to these mad midget woman in Malacanang. Hold and departure order are upheld and enforced, any plane that will attempt to move in all airport runways will be shot by RPG. These tourist begin to prefer a known quality of life in their home country to the uncertainty of living in the Philippines.

    The Vice president elect Jojo Binay immediately mobilizes the Philippine Army reservist in a huge circle around Ayala Ave.in Makati.Trillanes and Gen.Danny Lim’s also manages to capture the heavily guarded Peninsula hotel together with there loyal boys,the soldiers loyal to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo surrendered and join them. The yellow armies of Noynoy and the orange followers of Manny Villar conceded to Erap and also join.

    Gloria Macapagal Arroyo finally step down. Col. Ariel Querubin handcuffed her and a bullet proof unmarked police car brought her to unknown location for interrogation. Anti-corruption Task force are on the loose to hunt all GMA neocons for graft and corruption,plunder and election cheating.

  17. Some Comelec commissioner will be sued for cheating because 75% who voted for admin candidates are all resting in peace at loyola memorial park,Forest lawn and municipal cemeteries with the same fingerprints.15% are flying voters, and only 10% are legitimate voters. Despite the aggressive efforts of the Comelec and thugs to cheat Erap, and quite surprisingly,failure of election through action of cheating is upheld by the Supreme Court in this case Comelec Commissioner as a party of cheating are found guilty of violating the constitutional rights of Filipino masses.They are sent to jail for life and the fine are enormous. They files for bankruptcy and in its wake is never seen or heard from again.

    Vilma Santos finally divorces from Ralph Recto and remarries Edu Manzano whose wife had previously filed for and won a divorce claiming he was, as most of American passport holder finally figured out, a complete idiot. Unfortunately, on his wedding night, Edu who had a little too much to drink, trips and falls from a third floor patio. He survives the fall, but dies from suffocation as his left foot somehow ends up in his mouth.

  18. Shortly thereafter, I win the lottery and retire in Zambales to spend the rest of my long life enjoying Bikini watching along the beach. Because of my big mega million winning, I become the richest man in Zambales. I use my wealth to create food, jobs, housing and health care for the poor in my hometown.They want me to be their governor but, I refused. I don’t want to have a bunch of bodyguards.I show people learn to love each other.I become a givers and not takers. There is no longer hunger in my hometown. There is no longer any illness that can’t be cured. I sent all the doctors at John Hopkins University Hospital to become specialist, all of the really bad evil has been removed. Life is good…..

    Then, in a start, I wake up from my best sleep ever with a smile on my face. No one knows why. I actually believed this BS and it took a while for me to realize that it was just a cruel pork adobo induced dream. I find myself again in that familiar large room with no furniture or windows and the nice padding on the walls and floors. I do remember now. I slowly crawl to my favorite place in the corner and begin staring at that spot, that spot, that spot..lit a cigarette and stare at the smoke and with a hot cup of coffee on my right hand. Oh! another day again!!!

    I don’t know what got into me about smoking. I had to do it. I mean, I couldn’t stop myself. I was surprised and astounded that I was doing it while I did it, but I had to do it.

    You know, back when Christopher Columbus first saw natives smoking tobacco on Cuba, back in October 1492, he thought it was a helluva thing. He took some tobacco back to Europe and ever since then everybody who smoked some has wanted to smoke some more. But what Chris didn’t tell many people was that natives all died at about age of thirty-five and almost none of them lived to be forty years old.But, for me I passed that line drawing in the sand.My friend who never smoke throughout his entire life died by a vehicular hit and run on his way to store to buy cigarettes for his father at young age.

    An autopsy revealed that his cause of death was holding a pack of Marlboro.

    What can one expect from the Inquirer?

    Ways back then when Estrada first entered the presidential derby their full resources and machinery together with Cardinal Sin, Cory and the civil society were all out against him. It’s the yellow people’s newspaper and in the forefront against Erap. They have thrown everything against him including the toilet bowl, fortunately for Erap his down to earth and unpretentious dealing with the poor saved him the day and swept those yellows down under with a landslide victory all over the country. Sadly however those yellows lacked the sportsmanship and graciousness of a loser and so from day one of the Estrada presidency, they plotted to grab power. A conspiracy among the church, Makati businessmen, civil society, military and even the Supreme Court succeeded in grabbing power and in place put Gloria as their president. A clear violation of the constitution, but for this group they assumed that they are above the law and they are the law, and a complete disregard of the voice of the majority of the Filipinos who voted for Estrada.

    Victors share in the spoils of war. They all lined up for Gloria and these yellows got more than their fair share in the power-grab. Even Cory and Noynoy got their share thru the SCTEX interchange, and were provided soldiers to murder the poor workers in the Hacienda Luisita which is a private enterprise and property.

    And these yellows and civil society, Makati businessmen are all lining up once again at the back of Noynoy in the hope that they will hit the jackpot once again. They know that they can easily let Noynoy dance to their tune. They were once insiders in Gloria’s circle and they contributed to the corruption and miseries of this country. Their interest is only for themselves and their businesses and nothing for the poor. Events and history has proven how this group manipulates and monopolize wealth and power for their own end.

    Now it’s up for the Filipinos to decide come election day who will be their choice to lead them.

  22. Anna, yes, the mechanism in this blog that screens users is still new to your name so it is putting you in moderation.

    Please be patient,later on after my continuous approval of your comments, it will learn.

    Same is happening to Juggernaut.

    Thanks for your patience.

  23. florry florry

    The only thing that will make the Inquirer happy and desist further hitting and hating Erap is for him to endorse Noynoy, their anointed candidate. Unfortunately as Erap said he will slug it out and intend to reach the finish line.

    Let me use my little coconut.

    Did Erap and Villar planned to run for 2010 presidential election a very long time ago?

    When did Noynoy planned to run for 2010 presidential election? I don’t think Noynoy even planned to run for president until these yellow liars gave him a lollipop called uto uto lollipop so that he will run.

    MPRivera:

    Tunay nga bang demokrasya? Masasabi nga ba anting tunay na demokrasya ang naibalik sa sambayanan Pilipino? na pagkatapos mapatalsik ang diktaturang Marcos, ang namuno ay ang napayapang si Pangulong Cory. Demokrasya nga bang tunay ang nangyari? O ang totoo, ay ang mga elitismo ang naghari?

    Demokrasya nga bang masasabi ang nangyari sa karumal-dumal na masaker sa Mendiola? Ang Hacienda Luisista? Ang paghahari ni Gloria Arroyo? Ito ba ay masasabing kagustuhan ng nakararami o ito ay bunga lamang ng pagmamaniobra ng mga elitistang ayaw “mabago” ang lipunang sila lamang ang nagpapatakbo?

    Totoo ngang dapat mag-isip isip na atayo. At huwag lang magpadala sa agos ng “sinasabing” nakararami o ang ipinapakita sa telebisyon at dyaryo. Sino nga ba ang may-ari ng mga istasyon na ito? Kundi ang mga elitistang ang manok ay si Noynoy.

    Sino ba ang malinis na pulitiko? wala. Si noynoy ay may bahid din ng dugo ang background niya. Ano ang hacienda Luisista Massacre at Mendiola Massacre na nakadikit sa mga Aquino? Nabigyan ba ng hustisya ang mga biktimang iyon?

    Kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gugustuhin ko pa si Erap. Dahil si Erap lang ang kinakitaan ko nang tunay na pagmamalasakit sa mga tao. Siya ay biktima lamang ng ipokritang elitista.

  27. Magno,

    Erapians will have to give it all they’ve got.

    Aquino diehards are now proposing that Cory be made a saint. Now, in a country where religion and politics are spinned endlessly to make a spiffing yarn, who knows where such endevour might take Noynoy Aquino 🙂

    Cory Aquino for sainthood?

  44. Pre-preho kayong may prediksyon, Amihan, Cocoy, Magno. Sino kaya sa inyo ang numenok ng bolang kristal ko?

    Di bale, ta-TANDUAY-an ko yang mga hula ninyo. WHISKEY sino pa ang manalo, basta patas sa botohan okey lang. Wag lang sila pagagamit sa mga FUNDADOR ng kanilang kampanya pag nakaupo na. Lalo na yung may mga bilyunaryong Campari. Di ba pareng Lucio? Pareng Danding?

    Marami pa silang dapat kumbinsihin, lalo na yung mga kabataan, sila daw ang SWING vote.

    Importante, wag tayong paloko sa mga paimbabaw, dapat na tayong maging BUDWEISER kaya dun tayo sa GIN WINE ang pusong makatao.

    Di gaya niyang si Villar, di mo malaman kung RED HORSE siya kasi kakampi niya ngayon sila Maza at Satur na pawang may RED LABEL. All these is RED BULL. Samantalang ka-lineup din niya yung anak ng ABSOLUT dictator na si Makoy. Magulo diba?

    Baka matulad siya kay Cory na pilit inaagaw ng RUM ni Gringo noon ang kapangyarihan. Kita mo nga, sino nagtatanggol kay Villar, bukod kay Cayetano? Si Joker, yung may sabi ng “Pag VODKA, lagot ka!”

    Kaya naman marami pa ring naniniwala kay Erap, poging pogi tuloy ang feeling niya na parang ang mata niya ay BLUE ICE gaya ni Frank Sinatra. Feel na feel na niyang bumalik sa palasyo sa may tabi ng simbahang SAN MIGUEL.

    Akala siguro ni Gloria hindi siya mabubuking na ang bata niya talaga ay si Villar at hindi si Gibo. Nagkamali ka, BREW! Mabuti na lang at nangunguna ang BEERGIN na si Noynoy. Kaya siguro gusto nang palitan si Enrile at EGG NOG pati papalit kay Puno gusto nang i-appoint. Pati si Ibrado naman gusto nang papalitan kay EMPERADOR! Hindi yan BEER-o.

    At anong ginagawa nitong sila Satur Ocampo at Liza Masa sa grupo ni Villar?

    Alam mo na Igan Tedanz,dito mo makikita ang paninindigan ng isang tao?

    Magkakasama sa EDSA DOS ang mga iyan kaya dapat pagbayarin sila sa paghihirap nating lahat.

    Not Once, but Twice nilang winalang-hiya ang Saligang Batas at panggagago sa taong Bayan. Ang tanging Ama lamang nang Masang Pilipino ang nanindigan laban sa rehimeng Arroyo at di niya ito inatrasan hanggang sa ikulong siya ng 6 1/2 years at ngayon kesyo di nila nakuha ang gusto nila kay Gloria e todo-kontra sila ha.

    Mali. Si Cory ang nanindigan! Ilang beses nitong kinausap si goyang na magbitiw sa posisyon ngunit di pinakingan at bagkus ang panunutya at pagpapahirap ng rehimeng goyang sa taong ito. Totoong Si Erap ay nanindigan ngunit ito ay para na rin sa kanyang sariling kaligtasan na totoo namang walang ganuong karaming kasalanan, pero may kasalanan pa rin! Nakulong nga pero sa resthouse naman special privelege sa pakikipagsabwatan sa rehimeng goyang na inyung kinamumuhian at bagkus ang inyung paninisi sa mga ordinaryong tao na sumosoporta kay ginang Cory. Ang sisihin ninyo ay mga traydor sa mithiin ng orihinal na peoples power sina tabako at mga alipores nito na sila naman talaga ang mga kunsintidor na naglukluk sa rehimeng goyang at nakinabang sa mga pasaway na ito, pati na rin yung mga taong inendorso ni Erap mismo. Sino ngayon ang kunsintidor at pasaway? Sino ngayon ang tunay na oposisyon!

    Otherwise, you’ll remain the lil parochial newspaper that’s populated by lil people with lil minds from lil parochial places. – AnnaDeBrux – January 25, 2010 1:14 am

    Why expect the editorial as written to be objective where Erap is concerned or somebody else for that matter, considering it’s the new paper or its editor’s perspective. Whether the editorial is dubitative, complicit, distorted, etc. not meaning to agree that it is, its the new paper’s or editor’s point of view or opinion and anyone reader can decide whether to agree or not with regards to it’s content, as we do now. Whether the newspaper serves its purpose credible or not, it’s not different than any other newspapers in our country and will write as they please.
    Many here read PDI, as can be seen by their attachment between threads. Is it correct to say its readers are people with lil minds too? Well, I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions and so am I. Peace 🙂

    Mali. Si Cory ang nanindigan! – Olan

    Unang-una, nanindigan si Cory na huwag isama sa land reform ang HL, kaya naman “pinaikutan” niya yong land reform law para hindi mawala sa kanila ang HL.

    Nagsisi lang siya at hindi nanindigan laban kay Gloria pagkatapos niyan manindigan na dapat mapatalsik si Erap at si Gloria ang ipalit kahit na ito ay labag sa constitution, at dahil sa pagkahiya siguro o nakonsiyensiya dahil sa lumikha sila ng isang monster-mangungurakot na Gloria nag-flip-flop siya. Hindi rin siya nanindigan para sa Constitution ng isa siya sa namuno laban kay Erap na siyang ibinoto ng nakakaraming “Pilipino.

    Anong klaseng mga paninindigan yan?

    Cory Aquino for sainthood? – Anna

    Maybe those yellows ay nahawa ng tupak kay Gloria. She’s never or even close to the heels of Mother Teresa.

  53. xman xman

    Si Cory ang nanindigan? Di na ba kayo nangilabot sa mga kasinungalingan ninyo? Ang mga kasinungalingan sa inyo ay katotohanan at ang mga katotohanan ay kasinungalingan sa inyo.

    Talagang nalason na ng mga Jesuits ang mga utak nyo.

    RE: Mali. Si Cory ang nanindigan! Ilang beses nitong kinausap si goyang na magbitiw sa posisyon ngunit di pinakingan at bagkus ang panunutya at pagpapahirap ng rehimeng goyang sa taong ito?

    Opppss Ka Olan…ano ba ang binabasa mong newspapers? Baka naman yong mga hawak ng mga elitista?

    Anong paninindigan ni Yellow Fever ang alam mo? Isa yan sa dahilan ng ating 10-Years na paghihirap at ibinaon sa kahihiyan ang Pinas sa lahat ng bagay. Sisinghap-sihap na lamang ang Pinoy sa isang katutak na taxes na ngayon e pinapasan ng taong bayan?

    How old are you now Igan? Dapat magising at mamulat ka sa Katotohanan…si Yellow Fever ang isa sa naghudas sa Masang Pilipino at di yan entitled na maging Santo?

    Gustong maging Santita ng mga Elitista, but di ito matatanggap ng Masang Pilipino co’z ANO BA ANG NAGAWAGA niya sa Bayan?

    Since 1986 till now e ano ba ang naging bunga ng Demonkrasya na ipinangangalandakan nila? I left the country to find job ditos abroad before EDSA ONE, but still ok pa ang Pinas except sa mga bystanders na gusto ng pagbabago ng ANO?

    Sila ang humalili sa paglilingkod-bulsa di ba, EDSA 1, 2 and Hello Garci ay mas WORST than 20-years of Apo Macoy in power.

    Puro sila yabang e anong demokrasya ba ang alam nila? Maglingkod-bulsa at ibaon sa pagkakautang ang Pinas…si Cory, Tabako and Gloria ang anti-democracy sapagka’t sila ang naging cause ng ating paghihirap ngayon at pagkabaon sa utang Pinas sa pangloob at labas ng bansa…WORST sa maraming bagay na puro kahihiyan ang pinaggagawa.

    Yan ba ng legacy ni Cory na hungkag na paglilingkod-bulsa…ginagamit ang Diyos o Simbahan upang linglangin ang taong bayan.

    Ano ba ngayon ang tunay na estado ng Pinas di ba bangkarote pagkatapos gagawing Santita si Cory…kilabutan naman kayo?

    Ang daming kaluluwa ang nananaghoy at humihingi ng hustisya…ang Hacienda Luisita massacre, Mendiola massacre, Nueva Ecija massacre, Ampatuad massacre, extra-judicial killings at kaliwa’t kanang scams from Kamag-anak, inc. + Tabako + EDSA 2 con Hello Garci.

    Ito ba ang demokrasya na alam nýo!

    RE: Talagang nalason na ng mga Jesuits ang mga utak nyo?

    Korek Igan Xman…i’m NOT against sa Simbahan, but kontra ako sa pinaggagawa ng ilang leader ng Simbahan like Kardinal Makasalanan na isa sa pasimuno ng EDSA DOS?

    Ginagamit nila ang Simbahan upang masunod ang kapritsuhan ng mga Elitista? Si Cory ang front nila na feeling Santita but ano ang katotohanan sa likod ng camera?

    From EDSA 1, 2 con Hello Garci…ano ba ang nagawa nila sa bayan? Di ba lalong naghirap ito at ang taong bayan e kuba na sa kapapasan ng isang katutak na taxes at wala namang magandang serbisyo silang nagawa sa bayan?

    Ok, granted…nagsiyaman sila at heto akala mo ang titino…kita mo ba ang tribute kay Remonde, yaks nakakakilabot? Ang bilis nilang makalimot…isa rin yan sa lingkod-bulsa!

    RE: Sino ngayon ang kunsintidor at pasaway? Sino ngayon ang tunay na oposisyon!

    Ang Ama ng Masang Pilipino…Igan Olan, WALA NA!

    Ang EDSA 3 wannabees lamang ang TUNAY na oposisyonista? After nito e mga remnant ng EDSA DOS con Hello Garci ang mga maiingay sa kalye like Makati Pen siege at ano pa?

    Kailangan mabasa mo ang mga DATOS na siyang nagpapatunay sa pag-amin ni Cory et. al. sa kanilang kasalanan sa Bayan at kay citizen Erap?

    The word, “I AM SORRY!” ang patunay sa kanilang SIN against the Filipino people.

    RE: Anong klaseng mga paninindigan yan?

    Nakakadismaya talaga Igan Florry, ngayon gagawin pang Santita e sa hinagap e wala pa sa kalingkingan ni Mother Theresa di ba?

    Ibinabandera ng mga Elitista na maging Santita e di kayang sikmurain yan ng Masang Pilipino coz’10-years tayong naghirap at anong inspirasyon mayroong basihan ito?

    Ang demonkrasya na alam nila e yong paglilingkod-bulsa…massacre, extra-judicial killings, scams etc. etc.!

    RE: Many here read PDI, as can be seen by their attachment between threads?

    Oppps again Ka Olan, since 2001 ko pa yan tinuldukan…OO noon araw yon, but since EDSA DOS e wala na kaming tiwala sa PDI at The Daily Tribune, Malaya at yong mga maka-Masa ang alam lang naming basahin coz’nandito ang katotohan ng mga Datos na nangyayari sa ating bansa?

    Ang PDI (Pera-pera Din Ito) e isa rin yan sa may atraso sa Masang Pilipino?
