Ang galing nitong mga heneral na busog na busog kay Gloria Arroyo. Hanggang ngayon patuloy pa rin sila sa hapag-kainan ng bagong administrasyon.
Isa na si Maj. Gen. Jonathan Martir na nakakuha ng appointment kay Pangulong Aquino bilang director IV. Isa siya sa unang hinirang ni Aquino noong Hulyo 15. Ang swerte talaga ni Martir.
Sabin ng isang defense reporter, re-appointment lang daw yun kasi linagay siya doon ni Arroyo pagkatapos siya nag-retire. Tagapag-mahala daw siya ng military arsenal.
Bakit siya na re-appoint?
Alam ko hindi na siyempre hindi inaman ini-isa-isa binubulatlat ni P-Noy ang kanyang pinipirmahan. Dapat kasi na background check na yan bago makarating sa kanya.
At ang pagka-alam ko ang style ni P-Noy sa pamamalakad ng pamahalaan, hinahayaan niya ang mga cabinet secretary na dumiskarte sa kanilang departamento. Kaya ang responsibilidad ng pagpanatili ni Martir sa puwesto at kay Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin.
Sa reklamo ni Rear Admiral Feliciano Angue sa mga palakad sa military ngayon, kay Gazmin niya itinuturo ang responsibilidad sa hindi maayos na pagbalasa ng mga opisyal. Sinabi ni Angue na sinususpetsahan siyang kasama sa mga grupo daw nagplanong tulungan panatili si Gloria sa pwesto lampas ng 2010.
Walang katotohanan yun, sabi ni Angue. Sabi pa niya, gawa-gawa ito ng mga ito ng mga opisyal na dikit rin kay Arroyo na mukhang nakapambola kay Gazmin at kay P-Noy. Pinangalanan niya si Maj. Gen. Gaudencio S. Pangilinan Jr.
Sa simula-simula, may agam-agam ako sa paglagay kay Gazmin bilang defense secretary. Walang duda ang kanyang katapatan sa mga Aquino. Siya ang hepe ng presidential security group ng panahon ni Pangulong Cory . Ngunit iba ang pakikipaglaban sa mga rebelde, military man, NPa man o Muslim, kaysa pagpatakbo ng Department of National Defense.
Kaya nga ang rekomendasyun ng mga commission na nagsagawa ng pag-aaral sa mga coup na mas maganda kung sibilyan ang secretary of national defense.
Ang pagka-alam ko naman talaga, ayaw ni Gazmin sana humawak ng cabinet position dahil ang gusto talaga niya ay magiging Philippine representative sa Asian development Bank. Marami ang suweldo doon at relax-relax lang ang trabaho. Kaya lang wala yatang makita na mapagkatiwalaan si PNoy para sa DND.
Kaya naman nakapasok itong mga tauhan ni Arroyo. Hindi yata alam ni Pnoy na naisahan ni Martir ang taumbayan nang siya ay nag-AWOL ng sobra isang taon ngunit kumulekta ng sweldo.
Sabi ni PNoy tuwid na daan daw ang tatahakin. Bakit itong mga nagbaluktod ng batas ang hinirang niya ulit?
Taga pamahala ng military arsenal si Jhoanna, ang paboritong heneral ni Gloria? Hindi ba kinakabahan si Tito Noy sa ganyan?
Matuwid na daan? Baka mabilis maliko yan dahil sa appointees ni Tito Noy na mga salbaheng henerales ni Goyang.
Kung iisipin palagi si Gloria sa mga appointments at balasahan ng mga heneral sa militar at pulisya, mukhang dapat tanggalin lahat sa kritikal na pwesto ang lahat ng Batch 78. Pero mas delikado ata ang ganitong hakbang… kung si Angue nga na nalipat lang ng pwesto umiyak na meron ng “politicking”… pano pa kaya kapag inalis din sa pwesto si Martir, Pangilinan at iba pa… baka magkaron ng mas malaking gulo at problema kaya kailangang magingat…
Mas makakabuti sigurong hintayin na lang silang magretiro… pero bantayan silang maigi habang sila’y nasa pwesto…
Kailan po ba magretiro si Martir at Pangilinan?
Perl, retired na si Martir. Take note that the position is Director IV. It’s a civilian position. It’s under the Department of National Defense. Not under the AFP.
Proof of the closeness of Martir with Gloria Arroyo is his appointment in the DND immediately after his retirement. He was co-terminus with Arroyo
Ito namang si P-Noy, he re-appointed Martir.
Aba talga.. magaling nga! tsk tsk tsk!
sana’y may mgandang dahilan ang pagkakalagay kay Martir dyan sa pwesto…
There are many qualitified pinoys for the position. May not have direct experience with the position but with qualifications naman. Problem is government positions is monopolized by the same group of people. Sometime I ask myself, are they there to do public service or assigned to a position to work as operators? Good Governance, dapat di na inilalagay sa pwesto mga taong may questionable characters or issues, proven or unproven, para mawala na ang duda at makap bigay confidence sa mga pinangakuan. kaya nga sinuportahan ng maraming tao para manalo! GOOD GOVERNANCE tapos kailangan magbantay na naman. Bullshit!
Ellen, ang hindi ko maintindihan sa appointment ni Martir ay retired na pero ang inuukupang pwesto na Director IV ay isang CSC permanent position. Paano nangyari yun? Napakagaling naman sa pagkakakwartahan ang AWOL na heneral ni Gloria! Di ba iligal yan?
Wala pang 100 days ni pareng noy2 dami ng panloloko sa kanya ng mga cabinet members niya… pansinin ninyo kung nagsasalita si edwin lacierda parang natatae kung ano ang sasabihin niya ganun din si ochoa. Kawawa naman ang aking kalugar na si pareng noy2 nagogoyo sa mga malalaking isda, mga isdang demonyo. Parang nagkamali ang INC sa pagpili ng presidente ang INC na pakialemero! Nagkamali rin ang mga media sa paggawa ng magagandang write up… tama yan na maghirap tayo dahil sa ating piniling administrayon…. yahoooo!!!!
PNoy’s heart is in the right place pero siguro bago sya pumirma ay magtanong muna sa iba before making a difficult decision if need be. Hindi kasi maiiwasan na take advantage sya ng mga nakapaligid na gago, but it’s always his decision that must be followed as president. Sana ay hindi pa sya humihinto na magbasa ng mga diaryo.
iba noon, iba na ngayon…
dati.. kapag nagappoint si gloria… kahit sino, iniisip kong tarantado..
ngayon… kapag nag appoint si Pnoy… kahit tarantado.. iniisip ko, may mabuting matibo…
hindi dahil sa nabubulagan ako… dahil malaki ang tiwala ko sa kalooban ng bagong gobyerno..
appointment lang yan… msyadong maaga para husgahan… hindi natin alam kung ano ang totoong dahilan kung bakit sila pinagkatiwalaang ilagay dyan… ang importante ang kanilang magiging aksyon na dapat nating bantayan.. at resulta na aabangan…
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
Chi,
Na kay PNoy na yan kung hahayaan nyang walang mgandang resulta ang mga aksyon ng kanyang mga appointed officials… tingin ko, hindi nya pababayaan mangyari yan.. nakita naman natin kung pano nya sinibak ang dating hepe ng PAGASA…
Paano ba sinibak? Balikan mo nga perl yung thread tungkol sa Pag-asa. Yung nagpasibak e Kamag-anak Inc., Ochoa Division pala.
Itong kay Martir sino’ng gago ang padrino? Kaninong kamag-anak?
Cory had her heart in place but her Kamaganak Inc prevailed. Will it be the same with Pnoy. This time, Friends Inc naman!
I watched one of the first interviews of Pnoy where he was asked about his legislative performance. In one of his answers, he said a “big fish” got in the way in one of his bills and the bill never made it to a law. This may be Pnoy’s style. He can not say NO to the big fishes. In this case, no matter how he wants to change the Philippines, he may not be able to push through with the changes. He has to put his foot down and say ” This is what I want!” and NOT what everyone wants. If he is too soft on saying NO to the “galamays” of the midget, pretty soon, he will be running the country, the midget way. If the same ROTTEN people are manning our government, where is the promise of CHANGE? With over 90 million Filipinos, can Pnoy not find even a thousand able, CLEAN(untainted) public servants? Not the likes of DAVIDE and MARTIR? These cheats had been cheating on our country for the longest time, siguro naman eh pwede na nilang ipaubaya ang bansa natin sa iba naman.
Hindi nakakatulong papunta sa matuwid na daan kung laging pag-sang-ayon at pagpuri ang gagawin sa kahit na mga palpak na appointments. Gawain lang yan ng mga bulag na tagasunod at walang sariling pag-iisip at decision. Marami na ring mga tao ang nakakapasok sa bakuran ni Noynoy na dating mga tao ni Gloria na mababantot at hinahambalos dito kay Ellen, pero dahil na appopint na sila ni Noynoy ay biglang naging magagandang lalaki at mababango na sila.
What an idiotic assumption! Mga demonyo sila noong appointed at tao sila ni Gloria pero naging anghel at santo na sila ngayon dahil inappoint ni Noynoy.
Katulad nina Davide, Romulo at ngayon si Martir, anong magandang nagawa ng mga ito para naging mabango at nagmukhang anghel na sila? Maraming issues sa kanila pero bakit nasa kampo na sila ngayon ni Noynoy? May mga sekretong bagay ba na nag-coconnect sa Aquino-Arroyo?
Very critical talaga ako kay Noynoy, pero gustong-gusto kong maging successful ang kaniyang presidency. Ang success niya ay hind lang para sa kaniya kundi para sa lahat ng Pilipino at ang karangalan ng Pilipinas na makaunlad ay karangalan at maipagmamalaki ng lahat na Pilipino lalo na yong mga nasa ibang bansa.
Hindi ako naniniwala sa honeymoon period ng isang president. Dapat pag-upo pa lang niya nakatutok na rin yong radar sa kaniya. Kapag pinabayaan ang isang palpak na gawain at decision, akala nila OK lang sa taong bayan kaya uulit pa dadagdagan pa at maging malala, magiging kanser at mahirap ng gamutin, kaya hanggang maaga ay pinupuna at binabanatan na para malaman nilang hindi natutulog ang bayan. Ayaw man nilang sundin, at least na-iregister ang pagpuna at hindi pag-sang-ayon.
Yan lang ang tulong na magagawa ng bawat isang Pilipino papunta sa tuwid na daan hindi yong puro OK ng OK at yes ng yes kahit na kitang-kita na palpak.
Magdusa tayo dahil siya daw ang binoto ng filipino… kelan pa naging maayos ang administrayon aquino!? kawawang pinas pinaglalaruan.
It seems that this won’t be a perfect administration after all…so we’ll just have to do our own jobs and watch what happens, then compare the performance of with administrations that passed. Lets just see the results and compare…
As I see this issue with Martir, other than his age old case of going to the US and back, on paper, he showed some notable accomplishments…he must be very good with reports and he demonstrated (although pakitang tao) that he can adhere to the rules, protect the constitution, and follow the chain of command no matter who sits as the commander in chief…I’m not happy to say this but he looks like a poster boy for military service, as Ramos once said, keep your nose clean…
Asar talo talaga dito, if you reach a point where you can’t take it anymore and decide to take matters in your own hands, you get the full brunt of the law and its on paper…this is the reality of every government…probably in life too…in corporate life ganun din, paunahan lang sa report…
Lets just see watch teh people’s reaction, “nada” as in nobody cares…if Pnoy’s numbers go down, lets see what happens, then destroyer is right and we can let Gloria back in… 🙂
…Pnoy is doing what any manager will do given the circumstances, “delegate” he cannot micromanage the country…as long as he manages himself properly, his people will have a model…and hopefully they will be able to do the realistic thing “moderate the greed” while steering the country into sounder fundamentals…
We cannot do anything with the appointments by whimpering and whining, there are provisions in the constitution that must be followed, are we willing to do these? Otherwise, we will be repeating the mistakes of the past of trouncing the constitution because of “good intentions.”
Yan lang ang tulong na magagawa ng bawat isang Pilipino papunta sa tuwid na daan hindi yong puro OK ng OK at yes ng yes kahit na kitang-kita na palpak.
—————————-
Ano bang basehan mo a “palpak?” Yung mga “pinag-uusapan” lang ba, impressions, o sa tingin mo lang, sa sinasabi ng tao, etc.? eh wala tayong pinagkaiba sa mga chismoso/chismosa nyan…
A suggestion, lets look at numbers (as they won’t lie), kung nabawasan ba ang corruption, kung nagamit ba ang budget properly, nabawasan ba ang utang, umunlad ba ang mga negosyo, etc…not on personality attacks (its been done far too long, its easy, but not effective).
I believe its about time we learn how the game is played, solid evidence and grievances channeled properly so that there’s a chance these will be acted on…
Subukan nating magreklamo dito. May mahintay ba tayong aksyon? PNoy ako ang boss mo!
http://www.president.gov.ph/government/default.aspx
bantayan or do our job and watch what happens. pano kung maulit ulit nuong nakaraang administrasyon? bantayan na naman mali ata ito ah? I mean we elected these officials to watch over our interest! alam ng questionable ang character ilalagay pa sa pwesto katawatawa..accountability and responsibility para sa mga elected ito kasama na si pnoy! it’s our tax money, it’s our soceity, its our country. It just but right to demand accountability! Good governance and changes for the better ang pangako. di dapat i-appoint ang mga ito!
Jug
Para malaman mo na ang mga issues sa mga “palpak” na appointments ni Noynoy na sina Davide, Martir and Romulo, ay hindi tsismis at impressions lang mabuti siguro balikan mo itong mga nakaraang topic dito dahil kung ang paniniwala mo lahat ay tsismis, tsismosa ang tawag mo kay Ellen dahil siya ang sumusulat nito at ang lahat ng mga nag-co comment ay naloko at napaniwala niya. Bugbog sarado nga ang mga taong yan sa mga comments dito, baka na-miss mo lang.
OK pagbigyan kita, let’s look at the numbers, as you said they won’t lie, may nabawas na bang corruption, nagamit na nga ba ang budget properly, nabayaran na ba ang mga utang at maunlad na nga ba ang negosyo? Why don’t you give figures and statistics kung mayroon na ngang pagbabago kahit na kaunti. Bakit may nahuli na bang pating? Masyadong in-a-advance mo naman ang imagined-accomplishments ni Noynoy, para tuloy nananaginip ka in color. Gumising ka muna kaya. O baka naman kagagaling mo lang sa ibang planeta at doon marami ng pagbabagong nangyayari at hindi rito.
What I know, wang-wang is gone and pinalitan ng “hawi boys”. Hindi raw magkakaroon at magtataas ng tax, pero gustng ipalusot ang evat sa toll, mabuti naman at pinigil ng SC. At may mga darating pang pagtataas ng bayad kuryente at tubig at ang resulta, tataas lahat ang halaga ng bilihin lalo na yong mga basic commodities, Tataas din ang pamasahe sa LRT at ang lahat ng ito higit na matatamaan ay ang mga mahihirap. Wala rin akong naririnig na project or plans on job creation. Malapit na ring mag-expire yong life ng Truth Commission ni Davide, pero hindi pa nakakapagsimula, kaya libreng-libre pa rin si Ate Glo. So anong pagbabagong nangyayari ngayon?
So you believe it’s about time to learn how the game is played? What games are you talking about; games about grievances, criticisms and dissent? Itong mga ito ang nagpapatuwid ng daan and these things can be best channeled through the media, at katulad ng ginagawa dito except maybe if you have a direct line and 24/7 access to Noynoy.
florry,
Unless there are pending cases against these individuals, there is nothing much we can do, going to the media or lambasting via public opinion, even senate inquiries (with tv exposure) haven’t been successful either. Lets be real and see that the only way to get rid of these people is via the “constitution” and hindi “siraan” lang…as anyone can say anything through the media…file cases, charge them, ferret out the truth…best channeled through the media? Gloria Arroyo successfully manipulated the media and ousted a populist president via the media – the media is not the best channel for reforms – the law is…
As I said, we cannot live forever on subsidies, if we need to pay the correct dues, we pay the coorect dues, the right prices…if the electricity rate goes up because it has to, we pay, if gasoline goes up because it has to, we pay, whats wrong with that? As long as we live as “beggars” or “freeloaders” or on “subsidies” we will never grow up, we will never mature as a people…the best way, and the only way, is to be more “productive.”
Ano bang nangyayari ngayon? The malls are still full, the grocery lines are still long? what are you complaining about? Are you speaking for the Philippines? are you sure you are speaking for the people? or for yourself?
…I’m telling you again, the only way we can solve all these problems is to help ourselves, to push ourselves beyond our perceived limitations, to excel…to strive to be better and not complain, whimper, and whine why the government can’t take better care of us…it can’t, we’re supposed to solve our own problems, we’re supposed to adjust, no reach for the standards set by life, not the other way around…”life does not owe us a living” we have to make a living…
And the “taxes?” I don’t know where you’re coming from but everywhere in the world except extremely rich countries people pay taxes – look around, we have the lowest tax rates there is! and we of all people expect handouts from the government? where will the government get the money from? the past administration has cleaned us up, fed the people subsidies while racking up debt on the other hand, come on, its very simple math – do you have a budget yourself?
If anyone can come up with better suggestions lets have it! How can the government balance the budget? do we print money, what will be the impact for that? do we borrow some more? or do we do it the old fashion way, raise it ourselves via taxes, everyone pay up, put in our share…lets put our money where our mouth is!
Problema ng karamihan, sobrang madada, kung kailangan ng maglabas ng pera, ayaw naman…our country needs money, its as simple as that – so we give! If the government has to liquidate some assets, etc, let it, privatize, let it – recklamo ka ng reklamo – what is you contribution to the solution to the problems at hand – REKLAMO LANG?! I’m sorry but you’re not helping…the country needs money, are you patriotic enough to give to Ceasar his dues or you want to change the government again? what siraan ng siraan via the media? you give the media too much credit, the Philippine media is not the paragon of integrity, its as rotten as the other institutions…
Noynoy’s commitment to change, or lack thereof, can be seen in his choice of appointees. Papaano niyang babaguhin ang mga bulok na pamamaraan kung puro lumang mukha, na napatunayan nang doble-kara, ang kanyang isinasa-puwesto? Kung tunay ngang ninanais ni Noynoy ang pagbabago, nararapat lamang na tanggalin na niya sa puwesto ang LAHAT ng mga alipores ni GMA. Hindi nire-retain at sa halip ay prino-promote pa. Maraming matitino at magagaling na mapagpipilian.
Hi, Florry,
Very well said. Bravo! Is Jug coming from the planet where Xman and I are? If not, we’re both willing to welcome him, don’t you Xman? Peace Jug!
Isa-isa nang nagbubunga ng WALA ang mga pangakong sa simula’t simula pa lang ay nakapako! Papaano mo maitutuwid ang landas na tatahakin kung sa una pa lang ito ay sadyang ginawang liku-liko at baku-bako! Sino nga kaya ang boss? O, Bayan ko, gumising ka!
To all, I’d like to quote a piece of advice from Jinggoy on his Privilege Speech: “If you cannot listen with open hearts, at least listen with open minds.”
Peace to all and have a great day, Folks!
Huwag nyo namang masyadong iasa sa Pangulo na gawin lahat ang tama. There are thousands of positions that need to be filled up in the bureaucracy. While he may be ultimately responsible for these appointments, it’s like asking for the moon if we demand that all the appointments can be vetted properly. Ok yang ginagawa natin dito. At least, napopost yung mga perceived na di deserving maappoint. Martir’s appointment is a case in point. Aquino doesn’t know the guy from Adam. Secretary Gazmin or whoever in the past admin maight have a hand in his new position now pero sa level lang to nang DND. I say this dahil yung kapatid nya na si Rear Admiral Martir, Class 78, dating J2, ay isa sa mga natanggal sa balasahan sa AFP. So to blame Aquino for Johanna’s appointment as a ‘Director IV’ in the DND is a bit OA. May confirmation hearings pa naman si Gazmin. The oppositors can always raise this issue.
hindi ba ang sabi ng mga ilan dito ay abnoy si PNoy? what can we then expect from him? iba ang tunay na balut iba ang balut Penoy..di ibalik natin si putot! and let us do the cha-cha,,pero mas gusto ko ang balut penoy ..I don’t need to look at it and eat in the dark….
Hindi nire-retain at sa halip ay prino-promote pa. Maraming matitino at magagaling na mapagpipilian.
——————————-
Marami ba kamo? Sige, magbigay ka ng listahan ng mga alam mong maraming magaling na yan, complete with resume and references…kaya mo ba? talk is cheap…its easy to say something stupid than to do something right…
“PNoy’s heart is in the right place pero siguro bago sya pumirma ay magtanong muna sa iba before making a difficult decision if need be. …. Sana ay hindi pa sya humihinto na magbasa ng mga diaryo”-chi
Chi,
Malamang na di masyadong nagbabasa ng dyaryo yang si P-Nyoy at hindi aware sa mga internet blogs that tackle issues of our society dahil mas gusto nyang nakikinig sa kanyang AUDIOPHILE. Isa sa mga dahilan ko na hindi siya ibinoto ay dahil medyo may pagka-TAMAD daw iyan. (At mahilig din sa night-outs, siguro dahil binata pa nga eh.) Kaya siguro naka-asa na lang siya sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya at hindi na nagdo-double check. Sana may iba siyang set of advisers na kontra, parang devil’s advocate ba, para matimbang niya ng mahusay ang pros & cons, at makapag-decide ng kung ano ang makakabuti sa mas marami. Basta tayong Pinoy na umaasa sa pagbabago at pag-unlad ay huwag tigilan ang pag-alalay at pagpuna kung dapat.
To all, I’d like to quote a piece of advice from Jinggoy on his Privilege Speech: “If you cannot listen with open hearts, at least listen with open minds.”
—————————————————-
Hmmmmm…..and who were the ones who voted for Martir’s confirmation?
———————————
It should be noted that it was Senate president Juan Ponce Enrile who shepherded his confirmation in the CA last June. Kaya pati si Jinggoy Estrada voted for his confirmation even if it was martir who had Lt. Artemio Raymundo imprisoned for sharing with fellow soldiers the Erap para sa Masa DVD that he got for free at the LRT station.
Dec 15, 2008

Now thats what I call an perfect example of an open mind… 🙂
Kung si Pnoy ay tamad at mahilig sa music at pc games sa free time niya…buti na lang pala wala akong balak maging presidente, siguradong hindi rin ako iboboto… 🙂
Dun na lang tayo sa sugarol, babaero, lasenggo, etc, etc… 🙂
” Gloria Arroyo successfully manipulated the media and ousted a populist president via the media – the media is not the best channel for reforms – the law is…”-jug
Jug,
Gloria did not ONLY manipulated the media BUT ALSO the LAWS! So kung hindi tayo ngangawa at tatahimik na lang ay lalong walang mararating na pagasa ang mga mamamayan. Ang mangyayari ay parang nag-iba lang ang nirerendahan pero sila-sila pa rin ang rumerenda! Sabi nga ng mga rumerenda…”Happy Days are here again”!
I don’t see how anyone can consider “audiophile” as a bad thing, it just means you love music…do you even know what it means?
…at hindi madaling mag-set up nun, you have to have the right equipment, the speakers, the turn table, the perfect vinyl, that is if you prefer the purity of vacuum over digital, etc., etc…it takes commitment to come up with the right setup, its an exact science…most audiophiles are at the top of their game, and idiots have no place here, its either one cannot afford, does not have the commitment to build the perfect setup, or does not have the brains to even attempt to appreciate the art…
What You Need To Be An Objective Scientist: What you will be measuring is the amount of voltage running around in the chassis of your audio stuff. The preferred voltage is [usually] the lowest voltage, which will save you from making those dreadful subjective decisions such as “which polarity is more tuneful and in touch with the liquid euphony of my BAD SELF?” First thing you will need is an AC polarity testing plug which will set you back about $3.99. The second piece of test gear is a multimeter (VOM) which reads AC volts below 500; mine cost all of$35.00, but I went all the way by getting the IM, TM, ICBM, Crosstalk Spectral MELISA Cranial Analyzer which was a $10.00 add-on (only real experts like me need this latter option). The polarity testing plug can be purchased in almost any store that carries even the most meager line of home electronics. It’s a 3-prong plug with three little lights on the back. You take the plug and insert it into each of your wall outlets, and the lights on the back will tell you if your outlets are wired properly in the wall. Many outlets, even in new digs and mobile homes, have the positive and neutral taps wired in reverse and grounds are oftentimes left open. The polarity plug will let you properly assess the orientation ofthe outlets that you use and make any necessary adjustments. This is the first step toward proper polarity..

Jug, walang masama, actually okay nga yun na may pinagkaka-aliwan naman si P-Nyoy para pangtanggal ng stress pero kung nakukuha nito ang ibang oras na dapat ay natutuon niya sa trabaho ay medyo dapat bawasan na muna. The work of a President is not an 8am -5pm job. He should be working as long as there are still things to attend to for the day. Remember one time na nahuli siya sa appointment niya dahil ‘napuyat’ daw siya for some reasons. Hmmmm, mukhang not a good working habits din yata ah.
may 100 days na ba si PNoy na nagsilbi? kung ang kanyang mga appointees were lumang mukha, baka hindi pa na facelift or nagpaopera kay Dr. Belo, their hearts could change ang they were given the chance to change…let’s us give them time to change their hearts…love is patient sabi nga ni
St. Paul..but let us not stop being vigilant…sa mga gagawin nila…wala na nga si gloria but it does not mean na walang magglogloria sa gobierno ni PNoy…
Juggernaut, talagang maraming matino at magagaling na mapagpipilian si Noynoy. There are 94 million filipinos at maraming willing na magsilbi. Doon pa lang sa volunteer groups niya na hindi na niya pinapansin, maraming bagong mukha na puedeng pagpilian. Hindi lang nga sila konektado kay Mar o kay Ochoa. Hindi ko na ibibigay sa iyo ang resumes at references nila, as you demand, dahil hindi naman ikaw si Noynoy. And please temper your language. I would like to believe na may konti kang pinag-aralan.
Jug,
“Unless there are pending cases against these individuals…..”
Right, we can’t do anything about it, even if these people are incompetents, constitution violator, made the JDF funds his personal funds, son and daughter in his employ in the SC, and AWOL in service yet collecting his paycheck for a long long time, it’s still OK with you because they are Noynoy appointees. That’s really amazing, isn’t it?
“if the electricity rate goes up because it has to, we pay, if gasoline goes up because it has to, we pay, whats wrong with that?”
Why don’t you look at the books of these companies, and see for yourself how many billions of pesos they are making at the expense of the people. It’s greed of these compamies that cause the hardships of so many, yet the government allows them to increase and increase their prices. It’s part of the give and take transaction of a candidate and donors during the campaign in which the former can not refuse.
“are you sure you are speaking for the people? or for yourself?”
Oh jug, are you sure you are wide awake? What a dumb question.That’s the last question I ever expected. What gain will I get if I speak for myself? The fact that I am not based in the Phil and having a happy and easy life over here is enough reason to not care about the country even if it will go to the dogs. I care because I love the Philippines, in fact I still contribute to the economy by paying taxes on my properties over there.
“and we of all people expect handouts from the government? “
As far as I know, no Filipino expects and depends on hand-out from the government. It’s always a “to each his own” style of living. Kahit mamatay sa gutom hindi ka bibigyan ng gobyerno. Why what do we have over there? Do we have any safety net programs to help the unemployed, the disabled, the children and seniors? Nothing that I heard of unless if you are a retired pensioner, or else nothing will be coming from the government.
“And the “taxes?”
Nothing wrong about taxes, but the point is last election, Noynoy said and I quote” “Read my lips, no new or increase in taxes”; the people clapped their hands, and they voted for him.
If any candidate is responsible enough in saying things that eventually can not fulfill, he should have thought about it so many times before he put his foot into his mouth.
Ang daming exchanges of opinion. Good! Ako ay agree with Jug and Henry.
Nagkakaroon ng focus kasi sa perceived na palpak.
Yung sa malaking problema, wala nag acknowledge na may effort na ginagawa para gradually masolve ang problem. Hindi nakikitaan na nakikialam si Noynoy sa SC at iyan ay good sign na may respeto sa democratic institution.
Yung appointment ng bagong SC justice, sa opinion ko maganda ang choice, hindi napansin. Yan yung si Noynoy ang talaga direct ang hand sa pag appoint. Yung kay Martir, maganda ang point ni Henry.
appointment lang to… kahit sino pang poncio piloto, kaibigan o kamaganak ang padrino… ang importante resulta ng trabaho… may tiwala ako sa presidente… may tiwala ang presidente sa kanyang kabinete o kung sino mang matatawag na padrino… nomal lang naman sundin ang payo ng mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan di ba? sino bang pakikinggan ng presidente, e di yung pinagkakatiwalaan nya… kapag pumalpak sa trabaho ang inilagay sa pwesto… ayan.. dyan tayo magreklamo husto…
marami pang mga unpopular na desisyon na gagawin ang pangulo… sabi nga ni Pnoy kayo ang boss ko… kaya ayos lang naman din magpahayag ng mga agam-agam at komento… ang masama lang kasi, ginagamit ito ng mga mapagbalatkayo… concern kuno sa kapakanan ng bayan.. pero ang motibo pala.. pabagsakin ang bagong gobyerno…
“ayaw ni Gazmin sana humawak ng cabinet position dahil ang gusto talaga niya ay magiging Philippine representative sa Asian development Bank. Marami ang suweldo doon at relax-relax lang ang trabaho”
Gazmin is smart, too bad he didn’t get the job. A very good friend is with the ADB for a few years now and ADB pays for his rental house at $4000 monthly at Dasmarinas with his wife and 8 year old daughter. Lots of dough for rent!
“Nothing wrong about taxes, but the point is last election, Noynoy said and I quote” “Read my lips, no new or increase in taxes”; the people clapped their hands, and they voted for him.
If any candidate is responsible enough in saying things that eventually can not fulfill, he should have thought about it so many times before he put his foot into his mouth.” – florry
The difference about this metaphor by then Bush 41 and PNoy; Bush seemed to forgot he had a second term on the horizon, and he did raised taxes and he was a one termer. PNoy won with that kind of rhetoric will raise taxes anytime now or during his term with no consequence to his presidency, he is only a one termer, unless there is matic-matic down the road.
Naku kuya Oblak, kung ang mga komento o kritisismo ay dito lang manggagaling sa Ellenville netizens, hindi mapapabagsak ang gobyerno ni Tito Noy, hehehe! At sino naman kaya ang mga may balatkayo dito? 🙂
Sowee, addressed to perl pala, hindi kay kuya Oblak.
Martir is just a bystander. Despite his being AWOL, he was promoted. Upon retirement, he is given a position in PNoy’s administration, that’s not his fault either. He is just being lucky…those who are critical of him, point your dirty fingers to those appointing him.
ayaw natin kay Martir dahil sa kanyang pag-AWOL at pagiging “paborito” ni GLoria… baka naman may special qualification/skills sya na wala sa ibang heneral… hmm.. magaling ah… dalawang presidente.. kinuha serbisyo na..
tru blue, nakaturo na!
“pero ang motibo pala.. pabagsakin ang bagong gobyerno…”-perl
Wow, very active ang imagination, kaya lang sa sobra yata.
Hindi pa ako ipinapanganak gusto ng pagabsakin ng mga NPA ang gobyerno, nakikipaglaban at nakikipagpatayan pero hindi naibagsak ang gobyerno kahit na “baril-barilan” at minsan hindi pumuputok ang armas ng mga sundalo, iyon pa kayang ilang mga bloggers dito, tulad ko na pumupuna lang kay Noynoy ang makakapagpabagsak ng gobyerno.
Make sense naman.
If appointments are made to people who already had their share and chances to do and show their worth, screwed up and didn’t make the grade, another re-appointment don’t make any sense. These people don’t have the monopoly of talent and qualifications that rendered them indispensible. It only shows that it’s who and whom you know, donors, supporters, padrino and connections are very well alive and kicking, at kahit na questionable ang record, hired pa rin sila. Oo naman kahit na sino basta “malakas” ang kapit ayos na.
Of course it’s easy to deny, but in actuality, that’s what’s going on.
chi, hehe, hindi ko kilala mga bloggers dito ng personal… bumabase lang ako sa mga komento… hindi lang nman pang ellenville yung komento ko… obserbahan mo mga lumalabas na mga balita sa media: periodiko man, tv o radio… may mga iilan na para bang nagpupumilit at walang basehang paninira… halos parehas noong panahon ni Erap… mataas ang popularity/approval rating nya na hindi iisiping mapapatalsik bilang presidente…
florry,
kung dumami at mangingibabaw ang mga non-sense critism ng katulad ng syo… hindi malayong mapapabagsak ang gobyerno… kaya maaga palang dapat ng supilin yan… hindi talga kayang pabagsakin ng NPA ang gobyerno… dahil walang suporta ng mga tao… bakit ba napabagsak si Marcos at Erap? dahil ba sa mga taksil na heneral? bumagsak sila dahil sa suporta ng taong bayan… (nauto man o hindi)

If politicians would not resort to empty promises, they will never get elected. Politicos are the greatest salespersons in the world. They will promise you heaven and they will give you hell. So, what’s new ?
As for MARTYR, True Blue is right. He is a damn lucky bastard. The thing is, however, knowing himself, he could have opted to refuse the appointment. Pero gusto niya rin eh!! Delicadeza ??? Naaaah, that is one attribute our present crap of politcos do not have. It is a dog-eats-dog world for them. Just ask another lucky idiot named Hilario Davide. He will know.
Oo nga naman, non sense naman pala ang mga criticism ko ano naman ang ikakatakot mo na mapapabagsak si Noynoy. Kung dadami ang mga nagcricriticize, marami silang napupuna na palpak sa gobyerno, pero magaling at mahusay naman si Noynoy kaya relax ka lang, hindi mangyayari ang ikinatatakot mo.
Mawawala na nga ang mahihirap na Pilipino dahil wawalisin kahat ni Noynoy ang mga corrupt at inappoint ang mga malilinis at magagaling na tulad nina Davide Martir at Romulo. Tanda ko nga parang isa ka rin sa mga bumabanat noong nasa palda sila ni Gloria, pero ngayon, mabangong-mabango na sila dahil nasa kandungan na sila ni Noynoy. Ang buhay nga naman.
Ang kaso ni Erap ay coup d etat, conspiracy ni gloria, civil society, mga pari, business, at military at hindi mangyayari kay Noynoy dahil ang panalo niya ay dahil sa kanila. Hindi yon suportado at kagustuhan ng mga tao, kaya nga nagkaroon ng EDSA 3, na hindi hamak na mas maraming tao kaya lang pinagbabaril sila ng mga sundalo.
He maybe a rat and a Martir but cerainly not a martyr..maligaya at masuerte siya a very lucky RAT!
appointment lang to… kahit sino pang poncio piloto, kaibigan o kamaganak ang padrino… ang importante resulta ng trabaho… may tiwala ako sa presidente… may tiwala ang presidente sa kanyang kabinete o kung sino mang matatawag na padrino… nomal lang naman sundin ang payo ng mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan di ba? sino bang pakikinggan ng presidente, e di yung pinagkakatiwalaan nya… kapag pumalpak sa trabaho ang inilagay sa pwesto… ayan.. dyan tayo magreklamo husto…perl
Why wait for something bad to happen and then complain? We all know it’s just a matter of time. These appointees have histories that many do not appreciate. Why recycle them again for government service? Wala na ba talagang iba? I doubt this is true.
We want pnoy to succeed because his success is our success as well. He can say NO to these appointees if he really wants too! Di ito criticism just to make noises but PAALALA.

Di malayong masisibak si pareng noy2 dahil sa mga binitawang salita nung kampanya… sabagay presidente lang siya ng mga INC. Sabi nga sa kanya ng mga nagrarali “LIAR” siya. Like father like son. Dapat masibak din ang isang salot at taksil sa administrasyon itong bwisit na JPE.
Kawawang noy2 ginamit siya ng mga malalaking isda. Akala nila kapag nagkatawang tao kana pwede ka ng maging presidente… pero hindi lahat… pero ito na ngayon.
Bobo pa rin ang mga botante kaya dapat lang tayong mag suffer. Sabagay sabi nga ang mga ofw hindi namin presidente si noy2… ang presidente namin kung cnu yung presidente ng bansa na nandoon kami.
Kayo ha mga Igan…nalingat lang ako saglit at parang sa sa travian.phx ang isyu dito ah.
Well, makasabat na po…sa simpleng pag-unawa at pananaw sa kartada ni PeNOY, bukang-bibig niya e tayo daw ang kanyang Bosing?
So, kung ganoon pala e dapat matuto siyang makinig sa ating lahat…gusto niya ng pagbabago at laging nakaadvertise sa ABS-CBN na ito ang simula ng pagbabago?
Yaks naman…anong pagbabago sige nga, itong si Joannarat e ipinuwesto pa…ano ibig sabihin nito? Si Davidead naman e siya ang bosing ng Untruthful Commisyon…ibig sabihin itong si PeNOY e absent-minded during the time of Gloria washingmachine?
Di ito reklamo…kundi realidad ng mga nangyayari o pangyayari na si PeNOY mismo ang character sa tele-nobela na ating ipinag-uusapan.
Sino ba ang binobola ni PeNOY…alam naman natin ang kanyang kartada since noon pa,…akala mo walang alam sa mundo ng mga tradpols/trapo e isa siya sa accountable bakit nagkaroon ng EDSA DOS con Hello Garci?
Ano ginagawa niya during that time…di ba nangangamote kaya even a single batas e wala man lang naipasa sa plenaryo.
Ngayon…sunod-sunuran siya sa mga civil socialites na sila ang pasimuno kaya si gloria e umabot ng almost 10 years sa puder ng kapangyarihan.
Ang pagka-alam ko naman talaga, ayaw ni Gazmin sana humawak ng cabinet position dahil ang gusto talaga niya ay magiging Philippine representative sa Asian development Bank. Marami ang suweldo doon at relax-relax lang ang trabaho.
ito ang isa sa mgandang halimbawa na hindi madaling kumuha ng magagaling at mabubuting tao para magtrabaho sa gobyerno… sa pribadong kompanya, malaki na sweldo.. magaan pa trabaho. sa gobyerno, kapag nagtrabaho ka ng tapat… magaalmusal ka ng death threat… idadamay pa pamilya mo… kapag nagnakaw naman sa kaban ng bayan at naging abusado sa serbisyo… taong bayan naman magmumura sayo… may nakaabang pang asunto pagkatapos ng termino…
Olan,
I know you are a Noynoy supporter, but honestly you impressed me by your recent comments. You call spade a spade while the others insist on defining black as white. You are an exception from them, blinded by nobody knows what, even if facts are glaring in front of their eyes. They can’t able to distinguish what is good or “palpak” appointment; as long as it came from Noynoy, all they can say is amen. It’s sad because some people still resort to “see no evil, hear no evil” attitude if their guy is at the helm which only shows that they are more in politics than for what is good for everyone and the country.
All that pnoy needs to do is open the door for many to apply for the position kung talagang maraming kailangan public servants. He can make this a national campaign if he really wants too! kung talagang maraming professional na kailangan! Atleast makikita ng tao na he is doing something about low emplyment sa ating bansa. Magiging PNOY talaga siya. He can even mobilize the teacher to help him sort names and backgrounds of aspirant, kung naparami ang mag-aaply. He can ask professors and other professionals to define criteria for him if he wants to. Maganda ito dahil may participation ang tao to help him shape the country.
The problem with his so called “selection group” is obvious, they only give him names bukod sa recycled na may issue pa. Who knows baka mga kadikit pa nila? Di maganda ito!
The success of pnoy administration depends on his choices to run our bureaucracy, our government with him! Time and time again recycled names with bad history is real trouble! Pnoys failure is our failure too but a failure we cannot accept. Hindi boboto ang 15 million na pinoy kung di ang mga ito ay umaasa sa tunay na pagbabago. Think hard and think fast! Paalala lang po!
It’s not a crime to dream of good governance, but the seeds of corruption and greediness are quite deeply infused in our country’s culture. Kitang-kita na mga magnanakaw, walang hiya, they’re still voted by the majority. The only solution to the constant miseries of the people is: plague to all the thieving politicians.
Kami nga nagtataka rin kung bakit na-reappoint yang si Gen Martir. Samantlanag yung matuwid na pinaalis dati, hindi ibinalik sa departamento. Umaasa pa naman na maipagpapatuloy ang mga imbestigasyon at kaso na hindi inaksyunan ng nakaraang pamamahala. Aba, may mga empleyado dito na napatunayan na peke ang diploma at transcript, at ang ilan naman malakas ang ebidensyang nagnakaw, nabigyan pa rin ng clearance at patuloy pa rin sumuwseldo! Talaga nga naman!
