Pagpili ng senador

Nang umuwi ako sa aming baryo sa Antique noong isang buwan, humingi ang aming mga kapitbahay ng listahan ng mga kandidato para senador na kanilang bobotohin sa darating na eleksyun sa Mayo.

Sabi nila, lahat-lahat na mga nagkakandidato ngayon hindi naman nila personal na kilala. Kaya kung may mare-rekomenda akong magaling at makakatulong sa bayan katulad ng ginawa kung pagrekomenda kay Antonio Trillanes IV noong 2007 na eleksyun, yun ang kanilang bobotohin.

Kung wala naman daw, yung mga kilala nilang pangalan ang kanilang bobotohin. Ang mangyayari niyan yung nakikita nilang mga pangalan sa TV at sa pelikula ang kanilang isulat.

Horoscope for vice presidential candidates

Last Monday, we ran Professional Heckler’s hilarious horoscope for presidential candidates. Here’s his equally hilarious horoscope for vice presidential candidates.

He said the hot, summer weather is affecting even the stars.” Ngunit bunsod ng patuloy na pag-init ng panahon, mainit din ang ulo ng mga bituin. Prangka sila ngayon.”

Latest in the battle of surveys: Noynoy’s lead reduced, statistically tied with Villar-SWS

A very tight race

The race to Malacañang has become very tight with the top two “presidentiables” locked in a statistical tie, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey commissioned by BusinessWorld showed.

The poll, the third conducted by the survey research institution for this newspaper, found the front-runners — senators Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” C. Aquino III and Manuel “Manny” B. Villar, Jr. — both losing ground among voters with little over two months to go before the May 10 national elections.

The cost, however, was more substantial for the Liberal Party’s Mr. Aquino, who saw his overall score cut by a substantial six points to 36%, compared to just a one percentage-point drop to 34% for the Nacionalista Party’s Mr. Villar.

Hindi malinis ang pagka-ayos ni Mikey

Mula nang inilabas naming ang balita tungkol sa bahay ng magkapatid na Mikey at Dato Arroyo sa San Francisco, marami ang nagtatanong sa amin kung ano ang nangyari.

Marami ang naiinis na parang hanggang diyaryo lang. Wala naming nangyayari. Tuloy naman ang ligaya ng mga nagsasamantala ng kanilang posisyun sa gobyerno para sa kanilang sarili.

Kahapon, nilabas namin ang bagong impormasyun na nakuha mula sa San Francisco. Nilipat nang mga abogado ni Mikey ang bahay sa Foster City na nagkakahalaga ng $1.32 million na nasa pangalan ng kanyang asawa na si Angela Montenegro sa pangalan ng Beachway LLC noong Septyembre 18, 2009.

Lt. Gen. Delfin Bangit will be the next Armed Forces chief of staff to succeed Lt. Gen. Victor Ibrado who is retiring on Wednesday, March 10.

Bangit, the current Philippine Army chief, is a known Arroyo loyalist having been been head of the Presidential Security Group under GMA. He also had a stint as chief of the Intelligence Service.

He belongs to Class ’78 of the Philippine Military Academy, which adopted Arroyo. Class ’78 is considered the “favored” PMA class under Arroyo with a number of them in strategic positions.

Earlier, there were calls to extend until after the May 2010 elections the term of Ibrado, who is highly regarded for his professionalism unlike former AFP chief Hermogenes Esperon whose name was mentioned in the “Hello Garci” tapes which revealed the participation of the military in tampering the results of the 2004 elections in favor of Arroyo.

In a statement, Bangit said, “”I am very thankful with the decision of the commander-in-chief. More than it is an honor for me, I would like to assure the people that I will do my very best to serve the interest of this nation and the Filipino people.”

Ayun sa mga bituin

As always, “The Professional Heckler” is hilarious.

I consider this young guy the genius wit of this generation.

This horoscope for presidentiables has been going around the world through internet.In the passing frenzy, the author’s by line got deleted. He related that a relative sent this to him with a note, “Basahin mo ‘to ‘insan, nakakatawa!”

He replied, “’Insan, are u insane? Mas patawa ka! Sa aking blog nanggaling ‘yan! Tanga!”

Anyway, rather than be angered and frustrated by the lies and propaganda being spread around by candidates, enjoy with “The Professional Heckler” what he saw in the stars for the presidential candidates.
