DILG decides on Lim; two newsmen chided
By Regina Bengco
Malaya
Malacanang has cleared three officials and downgraded the punishment recommended on a few others by the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) in connection with the botched hostage rescue attempt last August 23.
This was revealed in documents obtained on the Palace legal team’s review of the IIRC report, which President Aquino was supposed to release yesterday. The legal team is composed of Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. and chief presidential legal counsel Eduardo de Mesa.
Deputy presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte said President Aquino did not release the Palace review team’s report because he is attending to preparations for his First 100 Days report.
“Considering that it’s a sensitive issue, we just want to be thorough and we want to make sure that all the bases that would support the recommendations are there,” she said.
Based on the obtained documents, the Palace cleared retired PNP chief Jesus Verzosa, Interior Undersecretary Rico Puno, and Manila Vice Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso of any liability in the hostage crisis which left eight Hong Kong tourists and the hostage taker dead.
However, the Palace report recommended the filing of charges of reckless imprudence against Radio Mindanao Network anchors Michael Rogas, who interviewed hostage taker Rolando Mendoza, and Erwin Tulfo.
The Palace legal team said Puno, who was in charge of police matters, showed “lapse in judgment and poor performance” but no case should be filed against him.
“The President believes that Usec Puno should be held accountable for his judgment and performance as an official of the DILG and his continued tenure as a DILG official is subject to the President’s review,” said the legal team’s report.
The IIRC recommended administrative proceedings against Puno for gross negligence and for neglecting to ensure the implementation of President Aquino’s order to use the PNP Special Action Force in conducting the assault on the hijacked tourist bus.
The IIRC also recommended the conduct of preliminary investigation on Puno for “possible criminal liability” for offenses committed during his assumption of the position of head of the crisis management committee (CMC).
The report said Verzosa exhibited “lapses of judgment and poor performance” at the height of the hostage crisis but no case should be filed.
“As head of the PNP, it was incumbent upon Verzosa to identify and address the problems that were unfolding during the incident. His judgment and leadership in this regard could have been better exercised,” said the report’s action plan.
The IIRC recommended administrative proceedings against Verzosa for “less grave neglect of duty.” It also suggested that a preliminary investigation be conducted against Verzosa for possible criminal liability.
The Palace review said Domagoso’s/Moreno’s “judgment may have been questionable but no charges would be filed.”
The IIRC recommended administrative proceedings against Domagoso for failure to execute his duties as vice chair of the CMC and for dereliction of duty for abandoning the command post at the height of the hostage crisis, in violation of Sec. 60(c) of the Local Government Code.
The Palace review team recommended the filing of charges against SPO2 Gregorio Mendoza, for being an accomplice of his brother for serious illegal detention and serious neglect of duty under the Police Uniform Rules (PUR) of the National Police Commission (Napolcom).
It said Mendoza would be subject to preliminary investigation while Napolcom would determine whether he can be sanctioned under the PUR.
The Palace report, in recommending the filing of charges of reckless imprudence against Rogas and Tulfo, said: “While it cannot be denied that the media has an obligation to report the news, this comes with certain responsibilities. Their rights must be balanced with the primary objective of such police operations: to save lives. The conduct of their coverage should be consistent with this objective, and conduct that risks the lives of innocents cannot be tolerated.”
The IIRC did not recommend any charges against the two and merely suggested that their cases be referred to the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas or any appropriate media watchdog organizations for appropriate sanctions.
The Palace review team’s other findings:
Referral of Manila Police chief Supt. Rodolfo Magtibay’s case to the Napolcom for investigation and action for gross incompetence and serious neglect of duty under the PUR. This is lighter than the IIRC’s recommendation of administrative charges for serious irregularities and gross incompetence and a preliminary investigation for possible criminal liability.
Referral of National Capital Regional Command chief Director Leocadio Santiago Jr. to the Napolcom for investigation for “less grave neglect of duty.” The IIRC recommended administrative charges for less grave neglect of duty and investigation for possible criminal liability.
Referral to the interior department of Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim’s case for dereliction of duty and misconduct in violation of the Local Government Code of the Philippines. The IIRC recommended administrative and criminal proceedings against Lim.
Referral to the Napolcom of chief hostage negotiator Supt. Orlando Yebra’s case for “simple neglect of duty.” The IIRC recommended administrative charges for “gross incompetence.”
Referral to the Napolcom for investigation of Chief Insp. Santiago Pascual III, Manila SWAT team leader, for “gross incompetence.” The Palace review team’s recommendation is the same as IIRC’s.
Referral to the House of Representatives of the case of Ombudsman Ma. Merceditas Gutierrez for appropriate action, whether she committed an offense that is a ground for impeachment, as recommended by the IIRC.
Referral to the Ombudsman for appropriate action of the case of Deputy Ombudsman Emilio Gonzales III for gross neglect of duty and/or inefficiency. The IIRC had recommended that the Office of the President investigate Gonzales.
Referral to the KBP of the case of the station manager of Radio Mindanao Network-DZXL for appropriate sanctions. The Palace said dialogues have started with media groups to draw up guidelines for coverage of similar incidents. The IIRC also recommended that the issue be referred to the KBP or appropriate watchdog organization.
On the cases of ABC5, ABS-CBN and GMA7, the Palace legal team recommended that media adopt specific regulations on coverage of hostage-taking and other critical incidents. The IIRC also referred the issue to the KBP or other media watchdogs.
Puno showed “lapse of judgment”, Palace said.
“I am Sorry”….Gloria Arroyo. Daang-balik!
So what did PNoy mean when he promised that heads will roll? If he doesn’t mean what he says, can we trust him at all?
I praised him in advance because I thought he would sack Puno. I am withdrawing that praise.
good thing you guys belong to the minority of the minority…the people have spoken…to hell with the quirino incident, the ampatuan massacre warrants more attention… (
Perfect! just the way we like it! 🙂
Yup! Just like the Mendiola Massacre!
mendiola massacre? – they deserved it…next time someone points a gun at you, surrender… 🙂
put yourself in harm’s way…you’ll be harmed…unless you’re lucky…
andres et al,
just accept your defeat now, wipe the eggs off your faces, lick your wounds, and fight again another day… 🙂
Jug:
Correct! If his detractors do not like the decision, they can wait for the next surveys! Anyway, that’s how they would want to gauge his leadership skills. 😛
Why the need for review? Look at the recommendations of the IIRC. Anak ng pating! Puro couched in general terms! Paanong di mo irereview? Parang shotgun! Parang sinabi na, “Eto yung rekomendasyon namin. Bahala na kayo sa specific charges.” Kaya tama lang na ireview. Pag nagfile ka naman ng kaso na di angkop sa evidence on hand, sasabihin niluto para di tumalab yung kaso. O baka yun lang naman talaga ang hangarin? Basta mag file lang ng kaso? Para masabi lang na may ginawang action? Pag nadismiss sa korte, niluto na naman? hehehe. . . 😛
Ellen, sa 71% high approval rating ni PNoy, minority tayo na pumupuna sa presidente. 🙂
I’ve said it time and again. I base my actions and decisions not on what is popular but on what I believe is right.
If those in power believe otherwise, they have every right to do what they believe in.
But I tell you, popularity is fleeting.
PNoy believes Puno and Verzosa are assets to his administration. So be it.
If we are just talking about his popularity, it decreased by 12%. The score matched that of Erap’s popularity in September 1998, and looked what happened to Erap. So you are right Ellen.
PNoy believes Puno and Verzosa are asset to his administration. So be it. -Ellen
Sya naman ang presidente, gawin nya lahat ng gusto nya!
Agree, “popularity is fleeting”. Even Barack Obama can not regain his loss in popularity…pababa pa!
Sige na. PNoy can do what he wants.
Now, appoint Versoza or Puno as DILG secretary.
Now, Sec. De Lima & Sec. Robredo should resign. Wala pala silang binatbat. Nasayang lang ang oras sa ginawa nilang investigation and in preparing the report.
Yeah, popularity is relative depending on the present issue at hand. Compared to the information available to the President, we can’t fault him. Already, my former comrades in arms in the PSG are verifying reports of destabilization efforts by forces who want to oust Aquino. Sorry for them. Just like in Cory’s time, they will fail. And just like in Cory’s time, I assure you Gazmin is not fond of acoustic warfare. There will be no long trials for would be mutineers. TAPS will be immediately played in their final resting place. 😛
PNoy is destabilizing himself. Samar vs Balay.
Puno and Versoza both connected to jueteng and Pnoy can’t fault them. Well, kailangan ng mas malaking pera sa re-election. Hundreds of millions ba naman ang ibinayad sa Inc and nagiingay din ang Iglesia Katoliko. It is the bad bad habit of Filipinos for decades that caused all these inefficiencies and corrupt ways. Instead of having the money to equipt our force, ninanakaw lang. Instead of punishing the jueteng beneficiaries, eh may promotion pa to Cabinet positions. WOW, only in the Philippines talaga! Kaya folks, sabi nga ni Jug, talo na tayo kasi nasa minority tayo! Gee, kelan ba nasa majority ang matitinong pagiisip sa Pilipinas? So, if we go down lower than the conditions of Bangladesh, we should not blame anyone else but the 71% who think that everything that Pnoy does is OK! Nasaan ang matuwid na landas?
Henry, hindi rin ako bilib kay Gazmin sa pag-appoint niya kay John “Rat” Martir sa position niya ngayon. An AWOL officer promoted to so many stars. What was that? And now nakapwesto pa sa gobierno ulit.
Pnoy is doing the right in keeping his cabinets intact for now. Letting go of anyone of them makes him a panicky type of president…and some here will not hesitate to sharply criticize him, what else is new. The hostage situation was a blurr; this huweteng payola to those in authority is nothing new either.
Million or billion pesos in illegal contracts/thievery in government is a more valid reason to sack anyone in his inner circles. Until then, just be a spectator; or if you’re the type to gripe just for the sake of griping…..knock yourself out.
“destabilization efforts by forces who want to oust Aquino. Sorry for them. Just like in Cory’s time, they will fail.” – henry
Big mistake! Barack will come to the rescue in a heartbeat. An aircraft carrier homebased in Japan will be in the vicinity of the Philippines in matter of hours.
“Henry, hindi rin ako bilib kay Gazmin sa pag-appoint niya kay John “Rat” Martir sa position niya ngayon. An AWOL officer promoted to so many stars. What was that? And now nakapwesto pa sa gobierno ulit.” – psb
I’ve never begrudged Martir for his promotions and now having a cushy position in government. Most in here knew who John Martir is; I’ve never heard him bash anyone, and he just keeps smiling…and if that was his secret to his windfall, why would he complain. He’s a lucky person that’s all.
Noynoy finally found another issue to showcase a decisive leadership, decisively against the recommendations of the IIRC, a committee he himself created to look at the events of Aug. 23. His fans must be very happy, I suppose, after all these times his only decisive moment was when he banned wang wang. To them, the minor leaguer is elevated and now belongs to the big league.
The decision however was not based on sound mind, judgement, and from the heart. It’s based on his instinct to protect and defend friends and supporters who somehow contributed so much in his campaign or holding “something mysterious” against him. The decisiveness was due to that “mysterious something” or his loyalty to them, thus ignoring the glaring and exposed ineptness and incompetence in their appointed and assigned jobs.
This is not a case of anti or pro Noynoy. This is a case of finding and doing what is right and correcting what went wrong. Taunting and insulting people who criticize him is not only childish but idiotic and foolish. Criticizing is one of the pillars of a healthy democracy. People who can’t accept criticism has no right living under a democratic government, might as well migrate to somewhere else run by tyrants and dictators where the privileges of the strong are rights and the rights of the weak are privileges.
Ang matuwid na daan ni Noynoy ay hindi matutupad kung walang mga pumupuna. So to the proNoynoy, keep an open mind, learn how to tolerate and accept criticism against the boss; that will be good for everybody’s health, for democracy and for our beloved country.
Ganyan din ang mangyayari sa Trororot Konsumisyon …. palabas lang yan.
I repeat, I don’t like Puno. I would rather PNoy sack him for being a ‘bobo’. Incompetent is far more tame. As to the jueteng payola, Cruz’s evidence is ‘laway’ only. SnV won’t give it a second look. Ever wondered why nothing happened to those jueteng exposes before? If Cruz is so certain about their involvement, why can’t he file the case directly with the Ombudsman? Because he doesn’t have the evidence, save for the say-so of his assets in the field?
I’m not privy to the kind of information the President has in retaining the services of Puno. But I will venture to speculate. Puno is the eyes and ears of Pnoy in the PNP. The guy has an extensive network within the organization dating back so many years. I would suggest though that he be banished from the limelight and just do his job incognito. At saka, por dios por santo, huwag nang payagan magpa interview yan. Bopol eh. Nagpapaendorse lang sincerely. Di ba Jug? 😛
Mas magaling pala itong sila Ochoa at de Mesa kaysa kila de Lima and Co. Wag na lang sanang binuo itong IIRC …. nagsayang ng pera at panahon. Puro pakitang tao lang …. puro daldal … puweeee!!!!
@23: WangWang was replaced by “the sweepers”, if you are paying attention…wink wink!
Only the powerful and rich think there is democracy in the motherland; ask the poorest of the poor or those constantly marginalized and you will find out (seems you are unaware) the democratic process does not pertain to them. If you are nothing in the motherland; you are prone to salvaging just for being unruly or for simply trying to defend yourself from erring pulis-patolas or those in authority.
Please don’t turn a blind eye on this premise. It’s a reality.
Griping is more fatal.
Criticize all you want; so long as it’s truly warranted, not just toothless accusations. Once again, it’s a very young administration…so just sit still. I’m a pessimist but as of now…there is still gold at the end of rainbow.
Mas importante nga naman ang mga jueteng connectors kaysa sa mga sasabihin ng mga critics niya. Lumalaon kumakapal na rin siya katulad rin ng luma o dati. Yan ang nagagawa ng jueteng!

true. i never liked the guy at the start, i’m pretty sure minamalas yan kay presidente but sorry na lang he’s not the type who wants to humiliate somebody in public…i don’t know why some people here like to do that? some kind of deep seated inferiority complex or something?
but he seems to have the trust and confidence of the president and he knows the guy much much better than we do – as we generally rely on “he said, she said” i believe his info is more reliable than ours kung baga first hand information hindi “tsismis.”
i sae rene saguisag being interviewed the other night on tv and he said :
“good people change others, better pepople change systems, but the best people change themselves…”
this is for those who still believe that its the “other” people who need to change but haven’t seen themselves in the mirror…
It looks like Aquino is convinced the problems besetting his governance can be solved with good PR.
Take a look at his Inquirer article:http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20101007-296384/Aquino-orders-Puno-Stay-put

#30 Ellen. Kung ganyan kasarado si PNoy kay Puno, magsasama nga sila sa anim na taon! 🙂
…and beyond! :):):)
Estrada’s term was cut short not just because he became “unpopular” but he wittingly or unwittingly sabotaged the economy…his involvement with the bw resources issue which practically undermined the very fabric of the business ethos really did him in…
…there are more powerful people/groups that can influence policy and these are not the jueteng guys…put their interests in peril and see for yourself…
…overnight a person can be demonized, esposes upon exposes magnified by massive media exposure, mobilization of radical church authorities who seem to have this “unholy alliance” with leftist groups, these lefties in turn have another “unholy compromise” with shady businessmen, top it off with an ambitious power hungry politician in the shadows with more “unholy” salamagans with equally shady military types…and the rest is history…
…another victim – Davide…when did he get to be a very bad person really? when he meddled with the “coco levy funds?” attack dogs like chiz escudero et al (who’s attack dog is he?) moved to impeach him…massive media propaganda ensued…and a lot of people believed it…now Davide is the devil incarnate…
…lets be more circumspect guys…we can’t decide based on what we get from the media alone, its an industry that runs on money also – tons of it…
…and bishop cruz? well, the day he gives us a list of all those members of the clergy who received jueteng payola, add those pedophiles and molesters of both men and women of the laity – maybe i’ll listen to him…other than that if he tells me to go to hell, i’ll say “after you…”
and beyond! :):)

kabibili ko lang ng dvd na yan ah – buzz lightyear (toy story) “to infinity and beyond!” 🙂
DOJ Sec. de Lima already “buffered” the eventual modification of their recommendations on the anniversary of Martial Law.
When asked what if the IIRC’s recommendations will be changed, she said she’ll comment once the review of the IIRC report will be publicly announced.
…’wag lang sana “I resign” ang comment ni DOJ Sec. Mahirap ma-“Puno” ang gabinete ni P.Noy ng mga tulad ni Rico…
Sa “Win na Win” siguro puede ang Rico…
DOJ sec de Lima is a professional, she knows where her authority extends and where it ends…by the looks, she is not governed by emotions alone…if she crumbles this early in the game, wala palang tibay na maaasahan sa kanya, Noynoy needs people like her in the long term…and we need people like her…
In his heart, PNoy knows Puno is blameless. Noynoy placed him at the DILG as his eyes and ears, Puno himself admitted that. His official function is but a formality for his position as undersec. Pnoy was in reality the one calling the shots for the other half of the DILG. During the crisis, Puno was probably just as confused as to what he was going to do because officially he was not supposed to be the one there but Robredo. And Robredo was confused as to what he was going to do because he was under verbal instruction to be hands off the PNP. Get the picture?
Now, recall that PNoy was telling media that he issued specific instructions to Puno and others particularly on the use of SAF for the attack. That’s just the President telling his version of the story. Did he really? In the report you find no confirmation. It’s a gap no one wants to see. If Puno is cross-examined later and asked “what instructions did you get from the President?” Aha, you have a big problem!
i wonder why there is so much attention to this quirino incident, even more perplexing are spme people’s cries for “blood” demanding justice and accountability from even the police, the administration, etc…?
in contrast, the ampatuan massace is almost forgotten, and there’s no attempt at investigating complicit government figures? how about the glaring afp markings on the ammo boxes, where did the weapons come from? afghanistan? why is there more effort being exerted to criticize the current administration when the people involve (mawalang galang lang) are the most arrogant in the world (try shopping in hk now and take a long time to decide and you’ll know what i mean) than 50+ or so fellow filipinos and there are media personnel involved also.
…its as if there are more “noisy” people na “nakiki victim din” sa quirino pero “wala lang” sa ampatuan?
…hmmmmmmmmmmm…maybe its not good business anymore, old news, old story…..too bad……
ricelander,
do yourself a favor, wipe the eggs off your face, and stop beating yourself up already, maawa ka naman sa sarili mo…you’re humiliating yourself…tama na…talo ka na…recuperate first…live to fight another day…i’m sure there will be other issues you can beat the hell out off next time, don’t worry six years is a long time for some people… 🙂
pnoy 1, ricelander = 0 🙂
ricelander,
tell you what, katuwaan lang…how many sona’s does a president make? once a year ba? anyway, if its 6, it he gets a positive trust rating thats one point for him, if negative one point for you…if by the end of the term you win, dinner/lunch on me wherever you want (pilipinas lang, metro manila, pwede rin tagaytay, sa highlands o sa antonio’s)…remind me if i forget… 🙂
…if he gets ousted earlier…hmmm…i’ll give you a 32″ lcd tv…how’s that? 🙂
I rest my case Jug.
Tru Blu, “Martir palaging smiling”…Kasi palagi siyang nakakakaisa. Lucky? I would say more scheming.
It really does appear that that’s where things are going.
Akala ko Agriculture ang background ni Puno. Paano siya napunta sa PNP affairs? Ano ba yan? Paano nag-train ng security ni Cory ang isang agriculturist? Baka naman naging hilig lang niya ang agriculture at ang major niya talaga eh EENT ng mga Aquino…heh,heh,heh.
Sa mga katulad ni Puno na asset ng isang president, mas maganda siguro kung advicer na lang ang pwesto niya kasi nakakademoralize naman sa mga tunay na public servants na talagang nagaral and got promoted tapos ang kukunin eh yung walang kaalam alam sa pamamalakad ng gobiyerno kundi yung “trustworthiness” niya.
ricelander,
its just my (perverted) way of encouraging you to continue what you’re doing…your views are more important than mine, i have a trained mind (so predictable) while you on the other hand have a critical one…i envy you…really…
i have no doubt puno is a loyal friend…but i have reservations for martir, if he can sell out his mistah, he can sell out his president ala reyes before…maybe nobody has offered his price yet? or so it seems?
Kung successful sana iyung hostages operation at lahat ligtas,Malaking seremoya sana at maraming sasabitan ng Medalya.Kasalanan ni Merceditas iyan kasi hindi niya ibinigay ang hiling ng HT. Revocable naman iyun dahil under Duress.
at any rate, its not going to be boring here in ellensville, i love the opposing views, i feel alive here…we don’t have to kiss ass, compromise, just be ourselves for just a few minutes…and then its back to the grindstone…
Binabibilib na ako nitong si Pnoy. Hindi talaga niya ilalaglag ang matalik niyang kaibigan.Abangan ko na lang ang susunod na pangyayari.Sige tagay pa!
Wang-wang – 1 point.
Nothing is surprising at all. If only our usually critical bloggers were paying closer attention, the ugliest disclosure in this article is not the Report on the Review of the IIRC Report’s (whew!) content itself.
Not difficult to conclude that the factions in the palace are themselves feeding media with the sleaze. Even preempting the release by Aquino himself.
Top-level guys ratting on their peers. Not a good indicator of a professional org. Forget that it’s a presidential cabinet.
So, will heads LOL?
Trial balloons
May or may not work to leaker’s advantage, especially if too often used…creating a “cry wolf” phenomenon.
Ask Manolo Quezon how a trial balloon works (or how it worked for or against gloria during her “presidency”).
Trouble erupts if “hot” air in the balloon stinks…

I doubt it if he will even answer. His latest FB post is the song “I’ll be seeing you”. Hmmm.

: De Lima!
: Lima lang ba, Ocho a?
: O, Ang See.
Sample pa lang yang pinakita ni Noynoy ng pananakip butas. Pinasak niya ang daliri sa patubigan. May lamat. Teka dalawang butas, diba? Marami pang butas ang darating. Sampung daliri sa kamay sampu sa paa = dalwampu. Tapos niyan ayos, tayo na naman ang lulunurin sa hirap.
Tongue, ayos ah! Kumpleto ang mga rekado…heh,heh,heh.
i think joker’s take on the issue is right on the money…the problem is noynoy’s advisers/people, the president is actually the one taking up the slack from these guys. i also noticed that he’s improved a lot on his public speaking skills, in fact he’s the best spokesperson for his administration as his communications team seemed out of sync…well as long as the people trust him and we don’t have much choice but to contribute possitively to the country’s progress anyway, and the budget is properly disbursed and accounted for, its going to be okay…
“…the problem is noynoy’s advisers/people, the president is actually the one taking up the slack from these guys.” – jug
The more reason for him to sack these advisers/ people. Question is, why didn’t he?
A pool of speechwriters wrote the following:
abs-cbnnews.com/insights/10/07/10/message-president-aquino-his-first-100-days

Anyways, xeroxing mode yata ang Palasyo ni Noy ngayon…
1) Puno had a “lapse of judgment
2) with top-guy rats
3) no queber daw if rating was low
4) in his 100 days speech, PNoy makes his ma’am putot as excuse for difficulties as the bitch made erap hers for nine years. Dyan nagsimulang bumagsak si BO, throwing the Dubya all the black kettles…
5) Meron na rin si PNoy ng town hall meeting like that of McCain, kinopya ni BO, popular and quite effective at first, then later nakasama na…
etc…
Hope he had a different approach…and sipain nya ang speechwriter who’s making him appear mediocre (nga ba?).
“…the problem is noynoy’s advisers/people, the president is actually the one taking up the slack from these guys.” – jug
Why oh why? Too much devotion kaya? 🙂

Naku, dapat na talagang maghanda sila Carandang. Baka sa susunod may maghagis na ng sapatos kay P.Noy.
@baycas2,
Hindi dapat mag-alala si PNoy niyan dahil 200 million pesos naman ang budget ni Carandang para may good PR si P.Noy.
“…the problem is noynoy’s advisers/people, the president is actually the one taking up the slack from these guys.” – jug

not really, just my training kicking in, i’m a very good team player and my team always wins…or most of the time…
…just admit you lost this round guys and quietly lick your wounds and cry a little bit…can you beat 71%?
well, next time try to pick the winning team…okay? )
you just don’t get it, you guys are not the “target” market…
if noynoy put his political fate in your hands he could’ve lost…like your candidates… 🙂
you’re probably the “opposition” someone like gloria loves to have…you make her feel good…why can’t you just look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourselves “why do i constantantly look at the world through a shithole?” some guys say its a beautiful world, full of opportunity and toasting victories – why am i always wallowing in defeat?”
snap out of it, get in the groove…
so the score is :
shitshifters = 0 Pnoy = 1
don’t feel bad, there are more rounds to go…
The problem starts and ends with noynoy. who are you kidding?

snv naman last time you endorsed a reyn barnido who is a shady character…do you have this weird fetish for maginoo pero ubod nang bastos? 🙂
the apparent “miscommunication group” is a ruse…its a strategy probably lifted from sun tzu of some sorts, confuse the enemy (misdirection), only thing is its working too well, everybody is confused including them…
so they are confused, the enemy is confused, the spectators are confused…hmmmmm, but the smooth operators definitely has control of the dropped ball.. 🙂
for the life of me, i really cant say noynoy’s first 100 days was worst than this…
The US case against Estrada and Lacson
By Rodel Rodis
INQUIRER.net First Posted 13:50:00 10/07/2010
In their court pleading, the Dacer sisters charged that their father was tortured by garrote wire strangulation and slain because he possessed incriminating documents that would prove Estrada received P500 million from Best World Resources for a decision he directed Pagcor to make that raised Best World stock from 80 centavos per share to 146 pesos per share (an 18,150-percent rise!) in just one year. Estrada was then in the thick of impeachment proceedings and he feared that this expose would affect his impeachment trial in the Senate as the Chavit Singson jueteng expose did (there was an unsuccessful attack on Chavit that was similar MO to the one done on Bubby).

wow! now thats interesting, you’ve got me hooked on this…we need to corner one of those guys to get some more leakage este enlightenment…
i was curious earlier why there were several information that leaked in the media that were obviously should be limited to the palace people, seemed to me they need a seminar on secrecy discipline…you know, the one you get to recite “what you see what you hear, leave it here…?”
…what do you say henry? please give them EI 🙂
Oops, sorry…
EXECUTIVE SECRECY out.
EXECUTIVE TRANSPARENCY in.
‘Yun nga lang sa blog muna…
@baycas2,
2 billion pesos din para kay Coloma? parang PR yata ang priority ng administrasyong ito. Siguro mababaw ang pagtingin ni PNoy sa bumubuto sa kanya.
Jug:
Para ka namang bago rito. Walang pinagkaiba ang mga yan sa militant/leftist organizations. When asked whether they get tired or not in joining all the mass actions against any sitting president, Ka Jimmy Tadeo of KMP, had this answer. ” Panata namin sa buhay ang kumontra sa gobyerno, sino man ang nakaupo sa itaas. Mahirap naman na puro na lang tayo sang-ayon di ba?” So there you go. What can u expect from people who did not vote for PNoy in the first place? They will never see anything right in what the poor guy is doing. Buti pa nga si Tatang Joker. Kahit papaano, he gives credit where there is no debit. Let them be Jug. Panata nila yan sa buhay. hehehe. . . 😛
“mendiola massacre? – they deserved it…next time someone points a gun at you, surrender…” – jug
Heil, jug!
ipinangangako ko sa ngalan ng aking mga magulang na hindi ako magnanakaw. meron namang puedeng magnakaw para sa akin.
Ellen, sa 71% high approval rating ni PNoy, minority tayo na pumupuna sa presidente. kaya nga naghihirap ang pinoy dahil marami ang tanga at payag magpagago. kaya naman si pnoy hanggang ngayon nagpapapogi pa rin.
NFA rice,
Tingin ko, mababaw lang ang tingin mo sa organization ng Press Secretary…at kay P.Noy rin.
Hahahahahaha!!! Ngayon mo lang ako napahagalpak ng tawa, baycas!

bayong,
ibig sabihin ikaw lang at umaasenso ha? matanong ko lang, sa attitude mong yan “umaasenso” ka ba talaga? anong standard ng personal na asenso mo? baka mapahiya ka lang? 🙂
Ayan na baycas, sumagot na si Ochoa tungkol sa pakikipagdate sa mga starlet.
Sasagot din ba yung nakikipagdate sa Channel 5 reporter?
baycas2,
Not my fault. since day 1 pa lang hindi na sila nahiya sa kanilang kapalpakan.
Madali lang sigurong utuhin at bilogin ang ulo ng mga pilipino, or we are accustomed to mediocre leaders.
Tongue, mas nene pa yun kesa kay Shalani. Pero hawig sila….
I don’t believe Ochoa when he said, “na-meet” lang once si Vina at Pops. 🙂
chi, akala mo nakaupo sa thumbtacks nung ipakita ni Anthony Taberna yung mga litrato nila Pops at Vina sa screen. Di masabi kung casual acquaintance, friend, o close. Obvious na nagsisinungaling.
Parehong galing ABS-CBN e di pihadong “nagpatulong” sa kanya nung City Administrator pa siya sa QC.
Nasabi ko dati dito na bantayan ang “Li’l President” dahil nasa BAC rin siya ng QC.
Matulis din pala gaya ng kaniyang amo noon…
“Give me your BID and I’ll AWARD you mine,” malamang na sabi ng mga bebot.
Tungkol naman sa nakikipagdate sa TV5 reporter:
Siguro pakong bakya naman ang ilagay sa upuan para umamin…kung talagang ayaw, maganda gayahin na lang ang ginawa kay James Bond sa “Casino Royale” (2006).

…tawag diyan, “pitik ba_yag,” pero matindi!
NFA rice,
“Mababaw” as in superficial. PCOO, which Coloma heads, has a very broad scope. Bureaus and agencies under it are: Bureau of Broadcast Services, Bureau of Communication Services, Philippine Information Agency, and Radio Television Malacañang.
One may call it a “propaganda” machine but it’s really an essential part of any administration. Let’s see if the huge budget will pass muster at Congress if enacted.
For now, I suggest you compare the said Coloma budget to previous ones…
Tongue, di nga ba nakahandusay na nga halos na kasama si Vina Morales sa Manila Pen (?) si Ochoa before o during yata meron hostage crisis, ang laking balita. Paano mangyayari na innocent first meet lang nila kung kampante syang lumalagok ng wine sa lalim ng gabi, aber nga, di ba?
At kung para syang sinisilaban habang nasa screen ang kanyang mga first time dates, e iba na yan. Bolahin nya lelang nya. Sus, laos na mga palusot na ganyan….

Matinding pitik-bayag, aamin nga, hahaha!!!
@baycas2,
my low rating is not because I found their budget disproportionate to their functions. Who knows how much money they need. Do you think they have performed well? If I ignore their budgets, I would give them high marks if Aquino’s administration as one comical sketch.
it appears i have a superficial knowledge on “How has Sonny Coloma been spending P1B”

Ay naku, Baycas.
Probably let’s take this as a weeding out process. It’s a good thing they have been unmasked. Because if not, we continue to look up to them.
oo nga, ma’am ellen.
di lang kasi baluktot ang daan, sanga-sanga pa!!!
