From ABS-CBN online:
A former justice secretary on Tuesday said the government prosecutors should not have used as example the case of former Rep. Romeo Jalosjos in blocking Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s request to fully perform his duties as an elected member of the Senate.
“Alam po ninyo iyong kaso ni Trillanes at iyong isang congressman ay mayroon pong pagkakaiba,” said Serafin Cuevas, also a former Supreme Court associate justice.
He said Jalosjos has been convicted of rape charges while Trillanes remains an accused and all the evidence against him have yet to be presented before the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC).
Since the trial for Trillanes’s rebellion case has not yet started, Cuevas said the senator still has the right to bail.
“According to the law, every person has the right to bail. It could have been cases where he is judged with a capital offense,” he said.
He said Trillanes should emphasize before the court that he is not yet convicted.
For the prosecution, Cuevas advised the government lawyers to present “strong [pieces of] evidence that show the guilt of the accused” instead of submitting a motion for denial of bail.
He said if the court is convinced by the evidence, it will automatically deny Trillanes’s requests.
In the comment submitted by the Department of Justice to the Makati RTC, State Prosecutor Juan Pedro Navera likened the case of Trillanes to that of Jalosjos, who is a convicted child rapist.
Navera said Jalosjos was jailed while still an active member of the House of Representatives. He cited a Supreme Court ruling in 2000 that denied Jalosjos’s petition to leave detention to perform his duties as a representative of his province. In the ruling, the high court said the House of Representatives can perform its duty even in the absence of Jalosjos.
The government lawyer added that Makati City RTC Judge Oscar Pimentel should deny Trillanes’s petition to put up a satellite or a legislative office inside the Philippine Marines headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City because the place is a high security area.
In his motion, Trillanes asked Pimentel to allow him to attend Senate hearings. He also asked the court to allow him to put up an office inside his detention and hire a legislative staff.
Another request made by the new senator was to allow him to entertain the media in his detention cell every Tuesday and Friday when the Senate is not in session.
Meanwhile, Navera warned Trillanes against making public statements against the government. He said the new senator’s lashing at the government violates the court’s condition for his temporary release.
Trillanes took his oath Friday before his friend, barangay chairman Ruben Gatchalian, in Caloocan City.
After the ceremony, Trillanes accused Team Unity senatorial candidate Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri of benefiting from alleged cheating in the May mid-term elections and said that he did not want “a cheat” to join him in the Senate.
“I believe Congressman Zubiri knows deep in his heart that he benefited from cheating. If he is decent enough, he wouldn’t accept [victory in the Senate race] because that is not something you want your kids to emulate,” Trillanes said.
The new senator has also made strong statements against the administration, particularly President Arroyo, whom he labeled as an illegitimate leader.
He said he will work for Mrs. Arroyo’s removal from office during his term. He said the country will not be able to move forward if Mrs. Arroyo remains President of the republic.
Trillanes is among the junior military officers who led a cabal of enlisted personnel in the Oakwood Mutiny in 2003.
After taking over the Oakwood Premier Hotel in Makati City, Trillanes, who served as the group’s spokesman, repeatedly asked Mrs. Arroyo to step down.
Most of us know this- kaya lang si Miriam, si Honasan, si Enrile, at iba pa ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi puede si Sen. Trillanes sumali sa sessions. Como sila ay legislators and most of them are lawyers ipinipilit to justify the wrong decision and make it right. Ay ambot sa inyo- dugay na kamo sa Senate pag tonto pa guihapon ang ginahimo ninyo? Huwag naman laging left turn (may nangaliwa sa asawa, sa panindigan, etc) dapat seguro mag right turn na.
The DOJ will throw all legal moves, selective justice and delaying tactics to block Senator Trillanes’ petition at Makati Regional Trial Court. I hope that Judge Pimentel will rule in favor of Sen. Trillanes based on merits not from Malacanang pressure and influence.
Political persecution and repression will continue under discredited Arroyo regime. The little president, General Eduardo Ermita, Injustice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales are hell-bent to use Anti-terror law to persecute Arroyo critics. Business as usual, the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, the military intelligence unit-ISAFP and prostituted state prosecutors will fabricate evidences and false witnesses to pin down the so-called enemies of the state.
Of course the EVIL fake administration will be doing everything to stop Trillanes from performing his duties as a senator! What’s more disgusting are those legistrators like M. Santiago or Enrile who side with the EVIL one even if they know deep in their hearts that what they are doing is wrong! The reason is known to every Pilipino. This is the dirty politics being practiced in this poor country! Kawawang Pilipino! And if these “kawawas” remain SILENT they will be forever kawawa to the end!!!
Re: “…Navera warned Trillanes against making public statements against the government. He said the new senator’s lashing at the government violates the court’s condition for his temporary release.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Here’s what Mr navera – my suggestion is simple: Close down the bloody court so there won’t be anymore violations. No need to be a genius to figure out that solution!
I do agree on Miss Sahara,those silent majority of kawawas were mostly loud barker of poverty,low quality of life, but during last election,they are first one selling votes to admin. candidates,from Mayors ,Congressmen to Governors, how would you eradicate a bad system when this silent kawawas give a shielding armor to protect them.Imagine how many Administration tongressmen w/c the impeachment will fail because of the numbers.though it is your right whom to vote, but you don’t have the right to complaint about the quality of life thatwas given by the people whom you put to power.Now examine ourself.
Ok, let’s not use the case of Jalosjos for comparison because Trillanes indeed is not “convicted”, maybe in time, but not yet. But it’s simple logic, the charge he’s being accused of is “non-bailable”, so definitely he can not post bail. This is so similar to the plunder case of “ERAP”, also non-bailable. Ask this, where was ERAP when his trial is being heard? Is he out?? Was he allowed to post bail?? NO!!! All the prosecutors have to do is to show good evidence that what Trillanes and his group did was indeed a “mutiny” and that he is directly involved. If they can back this up with strong evidence, then its done. He can’t go out. Simple. Now you ask, 11 million voted for him to serve in senate, but dont forget that 80 million has to be protected.
Perhaps everyone is right all along. So Ellenville spearhead the Allow Trillanes to Work march to Mendiola. Now na. This will separate the boys from the men. Mayor Lim promised to give back the lost right of the people to rally wherever they want and even at the gates of Malacanan. He will clean up the place of tetanus ridden barb wires and congestive 40 footer vans. MMDA clear the sidewalks, the mayor cleans his streets. And he issues tickets to any illegally parked military vehicles, tanks and firetrucks. No need to rally on weekdays. Weekends will do. No need of permits. No threats, please. But bring resumes should some turn tails from their posts in the palace
Biboy: The opinion quoted above was that of a former justice secretary. Sa tingin ko mukhang matalino ka pa sa matsing. Hinay hinay lang- ang mga bloggers dito ay hindi mga matsing. Well you are entitled to your wrong opinion sabi nga ni Charlie Brown.
Valdemar: Tama ka, dapat sa weekend ang rally at marami ang sasali.
Jalosjos case different from Trillanes.
Absolutely right!
Trillanes is chagred with SEDITION
Jalosjos is convicted of SEDUCTION
Ellen,
The DoJ chief kuno is seriously and physically handicapped. He’s currently on dialysis and needs loads of money. Perhaps, Jalosjos gave him some of the money that this convict Jalosjos has managed to stash away before his incarceration.
In any case (and this IS NOT RUMOUR), Gonzales has been selling DoJ opinion for a high price. Ever wonder why Tony Leviste’s case was elevated to murder (from homicide) 48 hours after the forensic findings showed that Leviste’s case was homicide (not premeditated)? Well, Gunggong gonzales needed money, lots of money for his frigging dialysis.
Not saying that Leviste is a saint but boy oh boy, Gunggong Gonzales has been milking Leviste BIIIIIIIIIIG TIME!
Anna,
I understand as a paralegal that murder and homicide are the same thing. Non-premeditated murder is “manslaughter” although over in Japan murder is murder and they are not categorized as homicide or manslaughter as they do in the US and the Philippines.
Over here it is “murder” when the victim dies, or “attempted murder” when the victim survives.
I have a case in fact presently where I am helping a lawyer assigned to a case of a Filipino woman who stabbed her husband twice at the back. Good thing that the wounds were not deep enough for the husband to lose blood and die.
We are now presently trying to have the case reduced to just physical injury so the woman can get a suspended sentence for if this case is indicted as a case of attempted murder, she can get a prison term of no shorter than 3 years, enough time in fact for the husband to totally lose interest in saving their marriage, and for her to be deported after serving her jail term. Good thing that they do not have children yet.
So, nagda-dialysis iyong siRaulo? Dapat sa taong iyan nagsisisi na sa kasalanan niya, for he has no assurance that he can still be cured and saved. Malapit na iyan tiyak! Ang hirap kasi sa mga Katoliko, they believe in what they call “extreme unction.” What they do not teach is that we shall be judged according to our works during our probation here on earth, although any kind of spirituality will be considered. Problem is there is also a rule on blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, for “God cannot be mocked.” In short, extreme unction will actually not work especially for those who have contributed to making a lot of people as evil as they are, or who have caused the other spiritual children of God a lot of miseries and pains.
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Cocoy: Trillanes is chagred with SEDITION
Jalosjos is convicted of SEDUCTION

I give you five for this. Golly, may bagong pangalan na naman ang isang Internet Brigader ni unano ha!
Nag-aaksaya lang iyan ng oras dito. But OK ngarod. Mabuti iyong may nanggugulo para bakbakin natin. Yehey! Huwag lang bang gagawing palitaw itong blog ni Ellen na lulubog-lilitaw madalas. I actually have my spyware on every time I blog here. Payo ng kaibigan ko sa pulis.
I am back after a few minutes being in a limbo again with this blog out of the Internet again. Alas-10 na kasi sa Manila, and time for the Malacanang Internet Brigaders to watch on people blogging in forums as this against the criminal calling herself “President of the Philippines.”
Funny how Koko used the word “enlightened” as he gave up on the Electoral Board to be fair and non-participant. I hope he used it sarcastically to show the desperate state of the nation today.
“Enlightened” nga naman siya for the blatant crimes being committed by these political appointees in all Philippine agencies, especially those charged with dismissing or having crooks like the unano prosecuted for crimes committed against the Filipinos and even foreigners who are contributing aids for Philippine development like us, taxpayers in Japan.
Kawawang Pilipinas! No longer “lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak!” but a “bayan nasadlak sa dusa.”
Biboy: “..don’t forget that 80 million also has to protected.” In an article in Daily Tribune, Malacanang spokesman Apostol also said this too.. UMM you seem to be singing the same song. I thus wonder- isa ka ba sa apostoles ni Apostol?
Biboy,
How many voted for gloria? walang dayaan, less than those who voted for Trillanes. Using your logic, di for our protection dapat wala siya sa malacanang.
7 out of 10 Filipinos want gloria arroyo out. Kaya dapat sipain na siya.
“he (Trillanes) did not want “a cheat” to join him in the Senate.
Oopps, arraaaaayyy!!! Tita Migz, ang lakas na sampal niyan, ang sakkkkiiiiiittt!
Hi Ellen,
7 out of 10, yes, you have this number now after all the cheating allegations and plotical noise. People got sick and tired of hearing this everyday. Mahirap man aminin, pero maraming pinoy ang madaling maniwala sa nilalabas sa media. So I see this number increase because of media reports which of course dominantly negative.
sa tanong na “How many voted for gloria?” Kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko, it was close to the number of votes FPJ got. So around 40% or equivalent to 12 million less na yung “1 million” highly contested votes na contribution daw ni Garci. She would still have won by a close margin, even Biazon admitted that, less those 1 million.
But remember, in presidential race, you only have to chose 1 from 5 condidates, whereas for sentorial race you choose 12 from 37. To see the equivalent rate, i’ll call it “acceptance”, for GMA = (12M)*(5/1) = 60, Trillanes however, = (11.2M)*(37/12) = 34.5 only. The higher the number, the greater chance of winning.
Meaning, the acceptance rate of Arroyo in 2004 election was 60, while Trillanes only 34.5
Also, 11 million of trillanes when
So using 34.5, lets compute backwards, lets say Trillanes ran for presidency against 4 other condiates: That would be = 34.5/5 = 6.9M only as against 12M for GMA.
Who says Gloria was accepted by the Filipino people. 2004, kung di pa nandaya hindi maboboto! Hello! Puede ba, Biboy, kamutan mo na lang ang amo at huwag ka nang manggulo dito. No matter what you do, no dice ka. You can’t make our minds change on Trillanes. Baka pa kay Escudero and Cayetano.
Now, I don’t wonder why the son of the unano won in Bicol. Baka ikinapeyn pa ni Escudero!!! Yuck!
Hi ystakei,
Well Im just presenting my argument which I based on facts, for Ellen’s question that is.
Biboy;
Your mathematical wizard don’t change the fact that Trillanes was voted honestly by the people, although he is incarcerated, there are certain groups and volunteer individual who work hard for him expecting nothing in return. A noble crusade fit the definition, whereas, compared to his peers they poured tons of monies, humongous TV and tabloid advertisement, campaigning under the scourging heat of the sun, shaking hands with lot of people but, deep inside they have a bottle of rubbing alcohol, now, they are busy making an appointment with beauty expert doctors to restored their feminine and masculine looks with an extra shots of Botox.Trillanes is languishing in jail since day one and he might be lucky if he has an appointment with his dentist and have a pills of vioxx to suppress his pain.
One vote is sacred compared to a million ghost votes!
Biboy,
I don’t accept the 12 million figure you are citing as Gloria’s vote in the 2004 election. She cheated.
She did not win the elction.For that matter, she was never elected by the Filipino people to the presidency. In 2001, she grabbed power. In 2004, she cheated.
By cheating, she committed a crime. She should not be in Malacanang. She should be in jail.
As one who has worked for the Japanese police, for me, a criminal is a criminal. Gloria M. Arroyo cheated in the last election, and cheating is a crime under Philippine law. Accordingly, she is a criminal. If she is not proven as one, it is because police there under a military has not done their homework because the head of the AFP and the PNP are her own political appointees.
Puede ba, Bidoy, kung sino ka man, scram. You don’t tell me what to do and most of all to think. Sabi ko nga sa iyo, kamutan mo na lang sa likod ang amo mo. Baka ito na lang ang chance mong magawa iyan!!! 😛
Biboy;
One more thing,your formula is only good in sewerage drainage,It is like issuing a check with no funds.How could you count when there is nothing to count,only Garci is an expert on that hokus-pocus.
I would rate the formula being presented by Biboy as Excellent! That is if I was born yesterday.
In the first place, what logic is there to compare Gloria in 2004 votes to Trillanes votes in 2007? Gloria, an old hand in politics who used Macapagal instead of Arroyo, campaigned with all the might of the administration with the foul odor of the fertilizer as sprinkled by Jocjoc Bolante capped by Hello Garci! In one hand, we know how the first timer, 35 years old, imprisoned Trillanes campaigned in 2007. Trillanes even now is not even qualified to run as president, babalik pa sa 2004? He will be disqualified on the question of age as Gloria sought but embarrased by the Supreme Court for the disqualification of FPJ on the question of citizenship.
Gloria’s votes were tainted with fraud and that 12 million votes she got in 2004 was never accepted by the people. This midterm elections was a sort of referendum with an unwritten question: Do you believe Gloria cheated in the 2004 elections? The answer is a resounding Yes! It was the sentiment of those who voted for the nationally elected senatorial candidates by dumping the Gloria annointed candidates. Kahit anong formula ang iprisinta, it will never change the perception on Gloria’s legitimacy. Except of course to those who choose to look the other way. Some people really are unbelebedol!
Hi Xanadu,
I appreciate the compliment, if you were born yesterday well that is good for both of us. :o) As for the comparison, the logic behind it is – it was a question asked by Ellen.
uy, meron pala akong kakampi dito kaya lalantad na rin ako. sige biboy, upakan mo sila. ganyan nga para mapagtanto nilang wala ngang paraan upang mapawalang sala sina erap, trillanes at iba pa. ipamukha mo sa kanilang hindi kailanmang matatapatan ang mga ginagawa ni gloria at wala sila sa kalingkingan kung ang suporta ng taong bayan ang pag-uusapan. o, di ba kahit ano’ng batikos kay gloria ay walang mangyari at hanggang ngayon ay nandiyan pa rin siya?
sige banggain mo silang lahat, nasa likod mo ako para TADYAKAN KA’T MATAUHAN!
mamulat ka na nga! isinusuka na si gloria, pati ikaw gusto mo pang makihati sa pagkain ng SUKA!
Yup, away with these formulas for cheating, etc. and fake figures. They don’t change the fact that Gloria M. Arroyo cheated in 2004, and she is not in jail yet, because she and her husband, and their cahoots had made sure that they have their own people in the agencies that have the duties and responsibilities to put them in jail. That does not make them innocent of their crimes as a matter of fact.
It is in fact a matter of time and determination of the very patient and tolerant Filipinos to wait for another 20 years perhaps to have this crook removed the way they have removed (no thanks to Uncle Sam) Marcos from Malacanang straight to Hawaii, not Paoay!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Rally, kailan ba?
rose Says: “….. Huwag naman laging left turn (may nangaliwa sa asawa, sa panindigan, etc) dapat seguro mag right turn na.”
rose, hindi papayag si miriam dahil pagharap niya sa kanan ay pintuan ng KULUNGAN NG MGA BALIW!
Biboy:
Who’s complimenting who? I was not complimenting you. I was in fact insulting your clan. And trying to make you reveal yourself. You just did, as a matter of fact. Gaga ka din ano?
Bakit hindi natin i-compare si Trillanes kay Major General Carlos Garcia who was convicted of corruption by the millions and in the millions. What did Garcia get? Just 2 years imprisonment and hard labor daw, whatever that means to them.
Martina:
Was this guy given a sentence? But I understand he never went to jail. Was he given a pardon or commutation of his sentence like what Bush did to Libby?
Talaga naman, Cocoy. Ang ibang kandidato ay nagpa-botox pa to appear maganda sa TV pero si Trillanes ay maswerte na may pain killer kaagad. And he was voted rightfully by about 12M pinoys, dinaya pa ‘yan!
Sabi nga ni Ellen ay nandaya si Gloria na accepted fact naman sa buong mundo (Hello Garci, hello!), she grabbed the presidency. So, there’s nothing to compare as to the acceptance rate of the tianak and A4T!
Iyong sinasabi nila na panalo pa rin si Tianak kahit nandaya, what a crap!!! Paano tunay na nanalo ang isang nandaya, aber?! E ayaw nga ni Demonya Gloria na mabuksang muli ang Hello Garci. Kung tunay siyang nanalo, PATUNAYAN at huwag magtago sa saya ng mga fake generals!
Buksang muli ang Hello Garci issue!
Someone said that Trillanes is different because he has a different background. I say, he has a different breeding, mas magaling—the real thoroughbred kung kabayong pangkarera— di tulad ng mga kunyari anak mayaman daw pero hindi nila alam kung ang yaman ay nanggaling sa mabuting paraan lalo na noong matapos ang WWII na maraming mga pilipino ang naging switik at mapagsamantala ng kapwa nila pilipino!
Sabi nga ng father-in-law ko who was very particular about the background of a person, kung ang isang tao daw ay magnanakaw, pihado may nuno din siyang magnanakaw!
I believe him. Kasi sabi nga sa Bible, “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.” (Ex. 34: 7)
I bet you may mga nuno ang mga traydor na iyan na traydor din. I hope iyong mga beteranong mga sundalo noong WWII ay hindi naloko ng lolo ni Escudero kasi ang sabi nila iyong lolo daw niya ang nagtayo ng guerrilla movement sa Southern Luzon.
Huwag nang asahan ang mga duwag na burot din pala. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Ellen:
I visited the other forums I am in but neglected since I joined this blog. Boy, ang daming murang inaabot sina Cayetano, Escudero, et al doon. Next time they run for office, pihado ko sira na ang mga pag-asa nila unless mandaya na rin sila, that is kung may pandaya pa si pygmy.
Here’s an excerpt from a forum:
Traydor!
i voted for chiz, and alan cayetano – making sure that i got
the ‘alan’ part right. now i see that those are wasted votes.
Traydor!
and i voted for trillanes and koko pimentel and from the early signs i see these will not be wasted votes and the possibility that these two young men will someday lead the country in tandem as President and Vice-President is a very gratifying thought.
But Manny Villar! Sayang!
i was about to vote for Manny Villar – but i had second thoughts and eventually did not. these recent events proved me right. Traydor!
in effect Manny Villar was a trojan horse all along!
In other words, Ellen, a lot many Filipinos now feel betrayed. How then can Cayetano and Escudero redeem their names now. Kaya pala nakakapagtaka na pumayag silang ma-declare without insisting that Trillanes and Koko Pimentel be declared, too, when Namfrel stopped its counting because there were no more votes to count considering that the votes in Maguindanao were fake and missing at that time! Samantalang ang grupo nina Trillanes ipinaglaban si Alan particularly when he was likewise not sure to be included in the Magic 12. Mahirap ang nakiki-compromise kasi. For sure may mga secret deals silang ginawa para makapasok siya samantalang all that he had to do was insist that he could not possibly lose because he was GO!
Nakakasuka talaga! Nababoy na naman ang Pilipinas!
Basta nandyan si Sen. Trillanes, tuloy ang laban. Up to this moment, si Gloria ang puntiriya.
I am giving these GO senators until the senate presidency squabble is over. If finally they will turn up siding with the administration, kowtowing with Gloria Arroyo, turning back to their campaign promises, woe unto them. I will always remember the statement of Sen. Loren Legarda: “Hindi tayo patatawarin ng tao kung matapos nilang iboto ang oposisyon, e ipamigay pa natin sa administrasyon and mayoriya. Kung sino ang nanalo, siya pang talo.”
Kayong mga babalimbing, hindi kayo patatawarin ng tao. Nakita na ninyo ang nangyari sa mga kandidato ni Gloria? Ganyan din ang mangyayari sa inyo. Hindi kayo patatawarin ng tao. Yan ang tandaan ninyo.
Blogs are the fora of logical fallacies sometimes. Or cultists lairs mostly. It would take even more than the dead sea scrolls to make our stands true to bear. But let the others reveal their feelings, too. For those who are Pikons may take Propranolol, its effective. But understanding is better, or forgiveness. Remember, the emotional thoughts expressed are not necessarily that of the blogger but of the media maybe where he picked it up that was not clear enough.
Valdemar is correct. At the moment, it’s all what we read and learned from media that’s why I am taking it easy and wait after the Senate is set in motion. And that is after the Senate president is in place and the different committees fiiled up and its composition known. We will know their true colors from thereon.
xanadu/valdemar
True indeed. My stand on this issue are based merely on media reports and news. There’s is nothing definite yet so all we say right now are just speculations and own biased interpretations. Until time reveals the true story, as I said before, my guess is only as good as yours which is rather unfounded.
Bickering, personal attacks I can tolerate.
Yuko, i stand corrected. Here is the gist of what i read:
Garcia remained in military detention pending the forfeiture case and the plunder case under the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division.
The Judge Advocate General’s Office sentenced Garcia to two years of hard labor after finding him guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
Thanks, Martina. De nada. I just actually don’t remember this guy getting any jail term yet since he can spill the beans and the crooks are trying to do their best to keep his silence by granting him some special favor treatment. Nakakasuka? You bet!
On the other hand, Trillanes and his Magdalo friends’ case is unique. It should be treated with care. Justifiable in fact considering who they were fighting against with especially when there was actually no rule of law!!!
Ingat sa mga intruders. Trying hard pa to do a Villar! Sneaking like a thief in the night! Sweet-talking pa kunyari.
As the counsel in the Bible says, “And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.” (Luke 12:39). Or “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” (Matt. 24: 43)
Ingat!
Xanadu:
I find this revelation on Cayetano and Escudero a blessing in disguise. This early, alam na natin kung ano sila.
Trojan horse ang tawag ng isang kaibigan ko kay Villar. I knew it as a matter of fact. Naniguro iyong pygmy na infiltrated ang GO para matalo man sila sa team unano meron pa rin siyang tao sa Senado. Lagot kung ang dalawang ito will join the others in pushing for a Chacha and abolish the Senate. Patay na! Panalo na si Queen Pygmy who will declare herself as queen.
Itong batikos sa dalawa ay batikos laban sa pygmy. No doubt about that. Dapat lang malaman ni Escudero at Cayetano that they don’t call the shot. They should learn to listen to the people now.
At least, I know now likewise that Legarda has more sense that I personally thought she had, and was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
I believe Legarda won her slot She may not exactly be a paragon of virtue but she won her slot in the senate without having to steal. I may not like bits of her persona (privately that is) but no one can begrudge her for her election victory.
