Makinarya ng dayaan

Ipinagyayabang ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang political adviser na si Gabriel Claudio na mananalo raw ang kanilang mga kandidato kasama na doon ang mga kandidato sa pagka-senador kahit na kulelat ang karamihan sa kanila sa surveys dahil raw sa kanilang makinarya.

Sabi pa ni Arroyo, naamoy na raw niya ang kanilang panalo.

Bakit handa na ba ang operasyon ni Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos para gawin ang ginawa ni Virgilio Garcillano noong 2004?

Pinagyayabang ni Claudio na sa buong Pilipinas raw ay nakalatag ang kanilang makinarya. Sa lahat na sulok raw ng bansa may kandidato sila. ‘Yan daw ang magbibigay ng 12-0 para sa kanilang mga senatorial candidates.

Sabi nga ni Koko Pimentel, senatorial candidate ng Genuine Opposition, na hindi bawal ang mag-pantasya. Ang bawal ay ang mandaya.

Ang ganitong yabang ng mga tauhan ni Arroyo ay palagi sinasagot ni John Osmeña, senatorial candidate sa Genuine Opposition, sa pamamagitan ng pag-paala-ala ng nangyari noong 1986 snap election at noong 1992 na election.

Hindi dapat makalimutan ni Claudio ang 1992 na eleksyon dahil kasama siya sa kampo ni Fidel Ramos. Si Ramon Mitra, na inindorso ni Cory Aquino noon ang may makinarya. Ano ang nangyari sa makinarya ni Mitra? Bakit nanalo si Ramos?

Ngunit mas makakatulong kay Claudio na alalahanin ang 1986 na snap eleksyon dahil mas malapit ang sitwasyon ngayon sa sitwasyon noong 1986.

Naglabas ang Social Weather Station ng survey noong isang linggo na kahit sa mga lokal na mga posisyon ng kongressman, governor at mayor,mas gusto ng mga botante ang oposisyon.. Pito o walo pa rin ang bototohin nila sa Genuine Opposition. Ganyan sila kainis kay Gloria Arroyo.

Isa sa mga bisita sa aking blog, si Joeseg, ay tumutulong sa kampanya sa Bicol nayon. Ito ang kanyang obserbasyon noong isang linggo sa pulso ng masa: “Karamihan sa mga lokal na kandidato ay Kampi o Lakas at iilang lang ang oposisyon. Ngunit sila ay nagkakaisa na ilaglag ang mga senatorial candidates ng Team Unity sa eleksyon. Babaliktad ang mundo ni GMA, katulad ng nagyari sa midterm eleksyon sa Amerika.

“Sa aming ma kinakampanyahan na lugar, nasa Magic 12 si Sonny Trillanes. Sa kalapit na Camarines Sur, inis yung mga tao sa pagpasok ng isang tagalabas na anak ni Arroyo. Tumutulong ang taumbayan para tulungan si Sabas Mabulo.”

Ano ang gagawin ng makinarya kung sinusuka ang kanilang mga kandidato ng taumbayan? Eh di mandaya.

Dapat mapagbantay ang taumbayan.

    Marami talagang naiinis kay Gloria at sa gobiernong kanyang pinalalakad. Kahit mga ordinaryong mamamayan ay talaga naman nararamdaman nila ang hirap. Kahit mga batang edad anim na taong gulang ay alam ang kanyang kasinungaligan at pandaraya. Minsan napagsabihan ko ang aking mga pamangkin na sila’y nagsisinugalin sa akin. Ang kanilang sagot: Hindi kami katulad ni Gloria. I was so amazed hearing them say that darnest thing.

    Sa mga sinasabi ng mga administrasyon ngayon na mananalo sila, 100% may daya yan. They have perfected the art of cheating and lying already. Hindi na bago yan. Ang tanong na lang, kaya ba ni Maria at Juan na hindi na ipagbili ang kanilang boto? Kaya ba nilang lumabas at lumaban at sahihin nila na hindi nanalo sa kanilang lugar ang politikong yan? Kaya ba nilang manindigan ngayon?

    Habang nandiyan ang mga bayaran hindi mababago ang sitwasyon sa atin. Habang naririyan ang mga ganid, hindi mababago ang sitwasyon. Habang naririyan ang mga politikong walang prinsipiyo, hindi mababago ang porma ng gobierno. Ang tao bumuto talaga ng totoo pero nariyan ang makinarya ng dayaan. Sana nga magising na ang mamamayan….

  2. Nuong isang taon pa nila nilatag ang makinarya ng pandaraya. Ngunit hindi mangmang ang Pilipino na gustong isipin ni pandak. Sa dami ng mga magbabantay ng kanilang mga boto, sisiguraduhin natin na ‘di na nila mauulit ang pambaboy na ginwa nila nuong 2004. Mahirap managinip ng gising.

    Kailangan may grupong kukuha agad ang resulta ng bawat presinto. Dapat may tally board ng kada presinto. Malaki ang maitutulong ng media at bawat paroko ng simbahan na halos lahat ng sulok sa Pilipinas ay palagay ko ay mayroon. Kasi baka ang dayaang mangyayari ay ang pagpapalit ng mga ballot boxes kasama na ang mga election paraphernalia, katulad ng nangyari noon na kontrobersiya sa Kalookan nung panahon ni Malonzo na sa Cityhall mismo napalitan. May pinsan kasi ako na nagtatrabaho sa city hall. Kaya magbantay tayo at bantayan ang tally ng bawat presinto.

    This coming election, We would be highly receptive dealing with great concern that election would be unfair. We expect vote buying to occur, expect cheating in counting of votes, expect flying voters and expect some voter-harassment.
    These scenario during election are actually anxiety-level, they are much higher expected incidences of the occurrence of such election anomalies.
    For these reasons, the TU are confidently sure they can win, but a Cinderella story is rewritten on the GO locker room. TU’s are implying a conditioning mind tactics. But, they are missing the point of, Freedom to speak is of no use without freedom to listen. Freedom to listen is of no use without freedom to repeat what was one has heard to another people. In short people don’t listen to them anymore, TU will become Technically Unable.

    Ang ipangalandakan na ang mga kandidato ni Mrs. Arroyo sa Senado ay mananalo sa pamamagitan ng 12-0 ay isang malaking kahangalan. Wika nga ay nagpapalakas lang ng loob pero sa katotohanan, alam nilang hindi mangyayari ang ganoon. Pilit silang nagpapakitang gilas ngunit alam nilang pupulutin sila sa kangkongan sa isang maayos at walang dayaang halalan. Naniniwala akong mulat ang kaisipan ng mga tao. Iisa lamang ang isyu at ito’y nakapuntirya kay Mrs. Arroyo.

    Pagpunta ko sa aking presinto upang bumoto, ang iisipin ko lamang ay OK ba o HINDI si Mrs. Arroyo sa kanyang panunungkulan na nakamit niya sa maling pamamaraan? Siya ba o hindi ang kausap ni Garci? Totoo ba o o hindi ang Fertilizer Scam? Naghihirap ba o hindi ang ating mga kababayan sa kasalukuyan? Corrupt ba o hindi ang kasalukuyang administrasyon? Sapagkat ang sagot sa lahat diyan ay HINDI, kahit sino ang siyang iboboto ko, huwag lamang ang mga kampon ni Mrs. Arroyo. At mangkukumbinsi ako ng marami upang samahan akong huwag itangkilik ang mga kandidato ni Mrs. Arroyo. Babantayan ko ang aking boto mula sa presinto hanggang

    at kung kayo ay dayain na naman sa eleksyon, ano ang inyong planong gawin? sayang ang pagkakataon noong lumabas ang ‘hello garci’. ibidensya na ng dayaan, wala pa ring nagawa ang pinoy. pakakataon na sana para mapatalsik si gloria.

    Sleepless;
    Maghanda ka na ng sun-block lotion dahil dadayain talaga nila iyan.Naaamoy na raw ni punggok ang panalo ng TU,may nasal deficiency pala siya.

  9. artsee artsee

    Cokecoy, mali ka. Ang naaamoy ni tiyanak iyon utot ng asawang baboy.

  10. Dayaan galore ang gagawin ng Comelec, for sure. Compared to the election in 2004 when they were able to cheat still, the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo for instance is not even inviting the non-hakot groups involved in the OAV to brief them on the election.

    As you know, overseas Filipinos are voting ahead of the people in the Philippines–meaning, they are casting their votes a month earlier–but we have not heard of the embassy mailing the ballots now on time for the submission of the ballots to the embassy in Tokyo or consulate in Osaka that should commence on the 14th of April. In 2004, the ballots were sent a week or two before the April 7th. Mukhang niluluto pa ang mga ballots na peke pero iyon ang bibilangin especially with more appointees of the Tiyanak now manning the embassies and consulates around the world. Siyempre magtratrabaho ang mga iyan ng husto para hindi matanggal si Tiyanak para hindi rin sila mapalitan, and that’s the problem that they should have solved a long, long time ago about these political appointees that should be stopped especially when filling up positions in the government that should be occupied by public servants or bureaucrats through civil service exams or eligibility not political appointment so that no one of these bureaucrats will feel indebted to these politicians who get elected to their positions. Time to have that distinction as a matter of fact.

    Point now is how determined are the Filipino voters to guard their votes this time especially in places the Tiyanak and her husband claim are their bailliwick together with their cheating operatives? Panahon na para gumising ang mga pilipino.

    Truth is I can only sympathize. Kawawang bansa!

    “This coming election, We would be highly receptive dealing with great concern that election would be unfair. We expect vote buying to occur, expect cheating in counting of votes, expect flying voters and expect some voter-harassment.”

    Cocoy,
    Tama ka, pero palagay ko hindi na masyado sa vote-buying. Yung ibang-paraan mas garapalan like yung cheating sa counting by means of “revised” or fake ERs, flying voters, at voter-harassment. Pero isama mo na rin dyang ang “harassment sa mga local officials”. Pihadong hinaharass na ng mga Taga-DILG yung mga local officials pag hindi nila “hinila” ang mgakandidato ng administrasyon. Pihadong sangkatutak nga imbentong “kaso” ay sasalubog sa kanila. At kung manalo man ang mga taga oposisyon ay ganun din ang gagawin. Kabi-kabilang “kaso” ang haharapin at papalitan ng mga bataan nila para mahirapan ang ‘impeachment’.

  12. luzviminda luzviminda

    Di ba nga ay nakikita na natin ngayon ang “pagsasampol” ng DILG. Kaya ingat at maging palaban ang mga oposisyon. Kasama na tayong mga sympathizers nila.

  13. What these crooks are doing is trending. They are trying to make the impression that they are winning even when they know that it is impossible for them to win the honest way. Even the attempt to sell Philippine properties for instance like the Philippine patrimonies in Japan that they greedy Pidals are salivating to sell even from as early as 2002 is to generate more funds with which they plan to buy votes for their winningless candidates. E kundi ba naman mga salbahe, alam ng mga taong walanghiya si Garcillano for example, bakit ipinapasok pang tumakbo sa probinsiya niya tapos tatakotin ang mga tao doon para bumoto sa kaniya. Nice try! Ngayon, tignan natin ngayon ang tindi ng galit ng mga pilipino na mahahaba ang mga pasensiya pero darating at darating din ang panahon na hindi na siya makakatiis at sisiklab na sila. Problema lang nga ay walang talagang lider na mamumuno sa kanila kaya watak-watak sila kasi kundi nakakulong, e pinatay na ang mga lider nila. Ugali pang masama ng mga pilipino kasi, lahat gustong mamuno kahit hindi naman kaya gaya ni Tiyanak na wala namang ibubuga! Yuck!

    12-0 for TU. Nakakatawa kayo mga tao sa Malakanyang na simulat sapol ay alam nyo na ang lahat na kasalanan ng amo nyo pero kapit tuko kayo hindi kayo tumulad sa Hyatt 10—sila ang mga tunay na Pilipino. Tapos sasabihin nyo na 12-0. Ang tanong ngayon ay sino ba ang mapapagkatiwalaan ng sambayanan sa mga kandidato nyo? At sino kaya sa bayan ang pwede magtiwala sa mga kandidato ng TU. Siguro kayo lang nasa Malakanyang. Paano ngayon kayo makaka 12-0? Yan ay maliwanag na niluluto na ang dayaan sa pangunguna ng mga tao sa Malakanyang ni Gloria + Mike + Abalos + Sundalo + Tuta ni Gloria + Mike!!!
    Magbantay tayo sa darating na halalan, kasi hanggat nandyan si Abalos magiging walang kakwenta-kwenta ang Comelec, hindi katiwa-tiwala. Alam nyo ba si Garci gusto pang maging Tongressman? Alam nyo ba si Dato(anak ng pandak) gusto rin maging Tongressman? Alam nyo ba si Pineda(asawa ni jueteng lord) ng Pampanga gusto naman maging gobernador? Paano kayo mananalo kung hindi kayo mandadaya—–MAGKAKAGULO KAPAG KAYO NANALO!!!Siempre alam nyo lahat yan at siguro maging ang mga SUPER BALIMBING na kandidato sa pagka-senador na walang paninindigan, na hindi dapat ihalal ng sambayanan. Paano ka maniniwala sa kanila? Sinu-sino ba? Ok, si villar, oreta, sotto sila para sa akin ang mga SUPER BALIMBING. meron balimbing lang pero sila super. Dapat ba natin sila pagtiwalaan? Pansariling interest lang ang mga gusto nila!Hindi natin sila dapat pagtiwalaan. Ang kailangan ngayon ng bayan natin ay yong mga kandidato na matapang na lumalaban sa lahat ng katiwalian, mga pagnanakaw, dayaan etc. na ginagawa ninuman lalot higit ay ng mga taong nasa Malakanyang na pinangungunahan ni Gloria + Mike. mAGBANTAY PO SANA TAYO LAHAT SA DARATING NA HALALAN.

  15. Paquito:

    Iyan ang nakakaloko kasi sasabihin nilang panalo ang 12+0 ng TUTA pero pag-upo nila bubuwagin daw nila ang Senate. Iyon na lang tama nang dahilan para hindi sila maboto. Sino bang niloloko nila?

    paquito:

    Itong si Ben Abalos na Comelec Chairman, noong 1980 nang unang tumakbo ng pagka-Mayor iyan sa Mandaluyong. Pero ang nanalo ay iyong kalaban niya na KBL na si Esto Domingo.

    Nasa Elementarya pa lang ako nun at naririnig ko sa mga usapan ay dinaya daw si Abalos?

    Ibig sabihin, biktima rin ng pandaraya nuon si Abalos!

  17. Nelbar:

    Matagal ko nang narinig ang pangalan ni Abalos, bago pa kami umalis ng Pilipinas and that was in the mid-60’s. Tama ka, maraming alingasngas ang taong iyan.

    Ang hirap kasi sa Pilipinas, hindi naman sa maikli ang alaala kundi talaga lang magaling silang mandukot ng mga papeles para linisin ang mga pangalan nila! Dapat talaga ayusin na nila ang registration system ng Pilipinas na hindi na puede iyong puede pang magpagawa ng bagong birth certificate kapag bumaho ang dating pangalan!

    Luzviminda;
    thank you, for agreeing in my above posting. Obviously, the concern of the illegitimate president is for her own extreme fantasy dream to transform the present government to a parliamentary system, so that she can embodies a form of regime the way she want, but, the GO are impeding her ambition. Indeed, she is the root of keeping the down -trodden of our people under perpetual bondage. She overlook the facts that poverty among our people actually is her fault. She is greedy and cunning exploit to hang in power. The poor people has to accept injustice, starvation and squalor because they are underfed and has no energy to break away and create a revolution as they did in Edsa, they need to accept for now the situation of lives they have. They don’t revolt against tyranny of Tianak, For them submission without any demur don’t do them any good.
    This outlook makes them disregardful and helpless with no visible way to a better life. They tend to become parasitic, stick to their traditional norms, and lose the will to learn anything new,,thus putting to no avail, if not disuse. This is the president foresight under her rule so that it will be, become easy for her to control.
    The GO will break this cycle, and they are giving hope to our people. They can not be undone in this election, any effort from the TU will be in vain .If they committed some wrongdoing in the past like a phone conversation from Garci, they will suffer a great consequences this time. If their concocted philosophy and diabolical theory that Garci and Gloria are untouchable, the justification of both culprit is in the road of no return, they could not create vicious cycle of cheating again.

    GO demands baring of 45-M voters’ list

    04/04/2007

    Genuine Opposition (GO) senatorial bets yesterday called for the baring by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) of the over 45 million strong voters’ list, representing some 53 percent of the country’s total population, saying not just the number of voters should be announced, but more important, the names of the more than 45 million registered voters for the mid-term elections should be identified and made public, to ensure transparency and clean elections.

    The baring of the names of the voters in the Comelec list can then be verified and scrutinized by the public, which will then also provide the electorate the opportunity to check whether the individuals listed in the roster are correctly drawn, exist, are dead, or are ghost voters.

    Senatorial aspirant Francis “Chiz” Escudero led the GO pack as he stated that the poll body should reveal the actual names of the voters that were registered in its official list.

    He said merely stating there are more than 45 million registered voters is not enough.

  25. schitzoglo and her administration have cheated the people so many times not so much as a ‘100% art of cheating’ as someone here suggested but as a blatent way of getting what she wants , no art involved this time around, without considering the people distrust her one iota.
    To stay in power she has no option but to cheat blatently, in the hope that the people will, as usual, allow her and her congressmen to get away with lying, cheating, stealing and killing on the way to a Parlimentary system. They, this administration, have stopped talking in public about their ‘need’ for a Parliment in the hope that most people forget and are thinking of Impeachment when all the while if they pull off a Parlimentary system there will not be an Impeachment, two birds with one stone!
    Today, we have to be prepared for this administration to blatently cheat, and they will, for the cadiddates of Team disUnity to win ‘on paper’, no matter what it takes. This schitzoglo, Haemorrhoid Assperon and the bent Security Cluster have already placed heavily armed AFP in the slum areas of Manila ready for the expected revolt from the masses, and its from these heavily militarised poor urban areas who will be the first on the streets demonstrating the cheating done by this administration in the elections.
    schitzoglo has already written the script for winning the election ‘on paper’ and already has her military thugs in place to stop emonstrations.
    These’s a but, and its – but what if One Million plus warm bodies spill onto the streets of Manila, will the military be able to control the mass demonstrations, remembering that these soldiers and their families are electorates also and will have been cheated out of their democratic rights along with the masses. schitzoglo & Haemorrhoid Assperon cannot be sure of full support of the AFP and the soldiers. Chances are things could backfire on schitzoglo and it will be Goodbye Glo!

    Part of it is NOT to participate in any electoral process by this bogus administration!

  32. schitzoglo, you see, will be relying on the citizens that have given up hope because they still have food in their belly and will listen to her lies of a promising future and it so happens that you don’t see the AFP patrolling their sub-divisions. She can handle those there because they give up easily. Now the slum urban areas are different because they are the one’s with nothing in their belly and nothing further to lose, schitzoglo is scared stiff of them and knows full well that they will demonstrate when she cheats thats why the armed military are there in the slum urban areas and have already stated they will not leave even on election day. Why do you think she’s so scared, because she knows that she will cheat. Moreover she cannot be sure that when the demomstrations start who else will be brave enough to join the demonstrations and in no time you have One Million plus warm bodies on the streets. Come on Gising!

    Makikisawsaw lang po.

    Ang pagkakaalaam ko, “Innocent, unless proven guilty” applies to criminal cases. Proof must be beyond reasonable doubt. Ang mga hatol na matutunghayan sa pitak na ito ay hindi maaaring ihambing sa mga hatol ng korte. This blog, which may also be considered a “court” of public opinion, may be construed as “passing judgment” on the current regime. This judgment cannot have the force of law and is, therefore, toothless. IN Aling Gloria’s case involving one other character called Garci, I don’t think the presumption of innocence must apply. It is enough that a cloud of reasonable doubt be raised- sa akin, GUILTY na ang verdict niyan. When the highest office in the country is at stake, those who claim to have “legitimately won” the seat must be well beyond reproach. Is Aling Gloria beyond reproach? Are the “characters” hovering around her worthy of our trust?

    … Ngunit mas makakatulong kay Claudio na alalahanin ang 1986 na snap eleksyon dahil mas malapit ang sitwasyon ngayon sa sitwasyon noong 1986.

    ********************

    Why not continue the pattern?

    Yes it is similar to 1986, late dictator Marcos asked for a snap election to have a new mandate for his disgraceful administration hoping that to cheat such election will wrap it up. They did it, but the people did not allow and rest is history.

    GMA is following the footstep of the late Marcos, as rep. Imee says “GMA is a copy-cat of my Dad” (I’m no pro Imee).

    Panibagong bas-bas sa bilasang gobyerno ni GMA ang May 14 election. Sa ganitong uri ng proseso meron tayo, walang tiwala ang tao sa Comelec, sa military, sa pulis, sa legislature, sa judiciary, lalo na ehecutibo, saan ako mag susumbong kung tinatampalasan ang aking balota. Saan ako pupunta kay Abalos?, kay Raul Gonzales ba?

    Since the blueprint is in 1986 situation, the scenario to liberate our country from GMA’s barbaric administration is the “Parliament of the Streets”. Why not continue the pattern? Let’s go back to the streets!

  40. “Inocent unless until proven guilty Guilty unless until proven inocent?” This schitzoglo and her advisers have been given many chances to cut clean and prove or disprove in the proper forum her lying, stealing, cheating killing ways but seems to think that the citizens of this country has no right to question her.

  41. Grecil, age 9years who had just finished Grade 2 at the SimSimen Elementary School, told him morning of March 31 that he was going to take a bath in the creek. AFP soldiers have become liars just like their Commander-in-Thief like her these soldiers have no morals. How proud they must feel at killing young Filipino children, then prepared to lie.

    DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/07 April) – Child-focused groups here are urging the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to “conduct an urgent investigation and act on” the killing of a nine-year old girl during an encounter between government forces and the New People’s Army (NPA) in New Bataan, Compostela Valley on March 31. Initial military reports described Grecil as a “child soldier” of the New People’s Army.

    Idul-Suazo also said the team found that Grecil was “summarily executed” because “the “presence of gun powder burns on the right side of the back of Grecil’s head indicates that she was shot at close range.”

    The joint statement said the killing of Grecil was a “concrete violation” of Article 38, Section 4 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) that “the State shall also ensure the protection and care of children who are affected by armed conflict”; Geneva Protocols 1 and 2 “mandating parties of conflict to distinguish civilians and combatants”; and Article 10, Section 22a of the Republic Act 7610 which declares that “the children shall not be the object of attack, shall be entitled to special respect and must be protected against any form of indecent assault”.

    “Further, the AFP’s irresponsible practice of using Grecil for war propaganda purposes by misrepresenting her as an ‘NPA child soldier’ is also a violation of children’s rights that the public must condemn,” the statement read.

    CAMP SIMEON OLA, Legazpi City — Karit ni kamatayan ang sumalubong sa isang 5-anyos na nene makaraang tamaan ng ligaw na bala dahil sa sagupaan ng mga rebeldeng New People’s Army at mga tauhan ng PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) sa Barangay Lahong, Baleno, Masbate kahapon ng umaga. Kinilala ng pulisya ang nadamay na biktimang si Regine Reyes na naglalakad lamang patungo sa kubo ng kanyang ama. Napag-alamang rumesponde ang grupo ng PNP-SAF sa nabanggit na bayan matapos na makatanggap ng impormasyon na may umaaligid na mga rebelde hanggang sa sumiklab ang sagupaan. Wala namang iniulat na nasawi sa magkabilang panig. (Ed Casulla)

  45. My son who has justed celebrated his ninth birthday and finished grade 2 and residing on Midanao I just cant imagine the grief that the parents of young Grecil is going through, knowing that a team found that Grecil was “summarily executed” because “the presence of gun powder burns on the right side of the back of Grecil’s head indicates that she was shot at close range.”
    But what I can imagine is that if I was placed in that same situation by a lying soldier of the AFP I would hunt that soldier down until I could hang the bastard from the tallest tree – he’s not a disciplined professional soldier he’s a thug who kills children at close range.

  46. People should be made to realise that the military om Mindanao can do and get away with anything they want with nobody checking their operations. They stop and search vehicles, search houses, detain people, never a warrant being issued by a court.

However, if the cheating will be massive, it will spell disaster for the country. At that point, Abalos & the rest of Team Gloria should head for the hills, lest they be lynched.

    The Arroyo administration and its cohorts’ cheating machinery are in full swing to ensure Gloriang Tiyanak’s political victory. Comelec’s antiquated manual counting is prone to hocus-focus and dagdag-bawas scheme at municipal/city and provincial board of canvassers. The repeat of 2004 massive electoral fraud is expected and Comelec’s cheating machinery is still intact. The political survival of Gloria Arroyo is at stake that’s the reason why dirty works and black propaganda are in high gear. If you believe in the recent SWS survey, the opposition and independent candidates at congressional districts and local levels are preferred by voters. The so-called Team Tuta’s political machinery is useless to counteract the wrath of the Filipino people. Citizen’s vigilance against electoral fraud will defy Gloria Arroyo and Jose Pidal’s evil objectives.

    The bloated 45 M voters’ list is meant to defraud the true peoples’ mandate. Gloria Arroyo smells victory with her Team Tuta built-in 9 Million ghost/insects/turtles votes. Newsbreak reported that the printing firm that the government has tapped to print all the election returns (ERs) for this year’s elections is the same company believed to have fabricated election forms for the alleged cheating in the 2004 president elections. It is also the same company that printed campaign paraphernalia for President Arroyo in the 2004 presidential race—all paid for by the Philippine Games and Amusement Corp. (Pagcor). The Comelec Commissionaire Rex Borra justified the use of outside printer to augment National Printing Office (NPO) printing capacity.

    The misused of government funds like the road users’ tax and Pagcor’s gambling money may have finance administration’s candidates. It appears that road user’s tax was utilized by the Arroyo government to the over-priced lampposts and monitoring cameras at Cebu International Convention Center. The lamppost cost ranging from P85, 000 to P350, 000.00. Former DPHW chief Hermogenes Ebadane may be GMA’s top Team Tuta’s fund raiser next to Pagcor. Garci Boys and Generals are holding key government posts to cheat and guarantee GMA political victory in both houses and LGU’s.

  53. Problem, Chabeli, is that the Unano has ordered the military to surround the polling places and probably arrest even legitimate pollwatchers.

    As one of those who pollwatched the election in Tokyo in 2004, this is what I have observed should be done by pollwatchers:

    1. Two at a time if possible per hour per polling precinct to make sure that the votes are counted right.

    2. Be sure to correct at once the one canvassing the ballots if he/she commits a mistake.

    3. Watch carefully the opening of the ballots, etc.

    4. Take notes of all that happens in the polling precincts.

    5. Bring a calculator. Keep tally sheets intact

    6. Make sure not to sign any tally sheets, etc. without checking the figures there.

    These are the things that come to my mind at the moment. Will write more on this when I get back. Right now, I’m off to work.

    You bet, I am volunteering to be a foreign observer again this year. I am in fact taking responsibility for some poll watchers that I plan to ask friends there to have the Commission on Election to OK through the GO or some partylist we are affiliating with.

  54. Nelbar:

    Boycotting the election in the Philippines is no good protest. OK lang if you have a more responsible body there to declare a no confidence on the ruling party to force it to abrogate after the election to correct the wrong. Not in the Philippines, dear friend.

    Whether the Unano cheats or not, you should vote to show your protest! Remember, the kapalmuks there only know the culture of impunity, graft and corruption. You don’t have a culture of suicide and self-destruction there when disgraced. Pakapalan ng mukha is more like it.

    Just my yen. You are the master of yourself, sabi nga!

    Pareng Cocoy; Alegadown:

    I don’t think this presumption of innocence applies to Aling Gloria. First, impeachment is more of a political exercise than a criminal proceeding. Second, it does not carry any punishment aside from removal from office, and is not covered by the penal code. Third, public office is dependent on public trust, therefore, the mere absence of public trust (as in Aling Gloria’s case) is enough to shred this presumption of innocence to pieces. When the Senate sits in judgment over an impeachment complaint, does it keep the bar at “beyond reasonable doubt” or does it lower the bar to mere “reasonable doubt”? The Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, functions as a safeguard for the governed to ensure that the government does not trample upon civil liberties in the conduct of its (government’s) affairs. If Aling Gloria wants the protection of this guarantee (presumption of innocence), she must be willing to give up power and be an ordinary mortal just like you and me.

    Ka Enchong:

    impeachment defines: is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it comprises only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and thus is only the first step towards possible removal. Once an individual is impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from office.

    During a trial, the process of trying to undermine the testimony of a witness. This is sometimes called “impeaching the testimony of a witness.” For example, a witness credibility may be called into question by showing they are biased, inaccurate, unreliable, dishonest, or incorrect in some manner.

    formal charges of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” brought against the President, the Vice President, a Supreme Court justice, or any executive and judicial official. Members of Congress and military officers are not subject to impeachment. The House Judiciary Committee investigates the situation and makes a recommendation to the rest of the House on whether the official should be impeached. …

    A technique used during cross-examination to discredit a witness’s testimony. Impeachment can be accomplished in a number of ways: by demonstrating and emphasizing the difference between the witness’s testimony at trial and a prior statement, showing bias, showing erroneous assumptions made by the witness in drawing conclusions, etc. The intent of impeachment is to show the jury that the witness cannot be believed.

    A source in the military, who spoke on condition of anonymity, disclosed that the suspect was having a drinking bout with other soldiers of the 35th Infantry Battalion when a misunderstanding occurred.
    The suspect, whose name was withheld pending the completion of the investigation, grabbed a submachine gun and strafed his fellow soldiers last Saturday before dawn.
    Other soldiers rushed to the scene and shot the suspect in an exchange of gunfire. What more do we expect when we have these corrupt comedians leading the AFP!

  73. What kind of soldiers do we have in the AFP when they are in barracks invoved in a firefight with their fellow soldiers slaughtering each other. Do we see this in other professional armies around the world – I don’t think so!
    Does Haemorrhoid Assperon really have command of the AFP. Do we ask him to resign or just kick his ass out of office?

  74. alegadown alegadown

    this is not an excuse but really there were some members of the afp and combatants who are war-freak which defines as freak out: lose one’s nerve; “When he saw the accident, he freaked out”
    /war-shock this is define as the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat; “the armies met in the shock of battle” and they are indeed are suffering psychological problems. these situations are beyond control but could be prevented by undergoing psychological exams for all of the military men who are directly involved in combat operations.

  75. alegadown:
    Whilst I try to understand your point, these ‘combatants’ are working in the thick of a civilian community, I’m talking here about FILIPINO schoolkids who are there because thats where their homes are. Why don’t the frigging AFP wait until the rebels come out into open country then engage them. I can tell you why, they look down on the poor farmer and his family as he’s openly taught to do by the likes of Haemorrhoid Assperon and they couldn’t care frigging less.
    Recently it was reported that there were 5,000 troops on Sulu – and the AFP still lost JI bombers in a ‘dragnet’ Hahahaha! joke only, its time to give up their war games.

    Peter,
    I read the news and it says 9 soldiers were killed including 1 civilian who does the cooking for the troops. All Assperon can say is that it is still under investigation.
    —–
    On the Compostela incident, the nine-year-old girl’s case will get world attention when it is brought to the UN and Unicef. It still makes me squirk whenever I try to imagine how they can shoot a kid at close range then declare that she’s a child warrior. Phoooey!
    —–
    With 5000 troops encircling probably the whole island of Sulu, it’s plain stupid that one-armed bandit Isnilon Hapilon can manage to elude the dragnet. Patek, the Indonesian bomber was also reported to be there, isn’t it? He too, got away. Were they looking the other way when these two escaped? Remember the Lamitan Assault when they got the whole Abu Sayyaf trapped in the hospital only to be allowed to escape when the commander called for a meeting? Baloney!

    That’s Assperon for you and his bunch of idiots calling themselves an army of the Baloney Republic.
