Si Gloria na ang sunod

Kung guilty si Erap ng plunder, ano gagawin sa pinakamalaking magnanakaw na si Gloria Arroyo?

Maari bang makulong si Erap samantalang ang mas malaking magnanakaw, hindi lamang ng pera kungdi boto ng taumbayan ay nagpapasarap sa Malacañang?

Ang mga anomalya ni Gloria (Thanks to DJB) http://www.philippinecommentary.blogspot.com/:

Jose Pidal unexplained wealth
Nani Perez, IMPSA bribery scandal
Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard
NAIA-3
Impeachment of Hilario Davide
Venable Contract Norberto Gonzales EO 464
Oakwood Mutiny
JocJoc Bolante fertilizer scam
Comelec Automated Counting Machine scandal
2004 elections Philippines
Maguindanao Zubiri Pimentel Bedol
Hello Garci Wiretapping and Electoral Rigging Case
Kidnapping Vidal Doble Family Medy Poblador
Extrajudicial Killings
ZTE National Broadband Network Deal
Basilan Beheadings Abu Sayyaf and MILF Peace Talks

Ilan lamang yan at lumabas nga sa SWS survey na “enriching” o patuloy pa sa oras na ito ang pangungurakot si Arroyo.

Nakakahanga ang katatagan ni Erap sa gitna ng dagok na kanyang natatanggap. Sabi niya pagkatapos marining ang sentensya:

“Asexpected this special court was created to convict me. My lawyers have warned me. But this was the only forum where I can tell the Filipino about my innocence. So I took the gamble hoping there is rule of law here. (Ginawa itong special court para I-convict ako.Winarningan ako ng aking mga abogado tungkol dito ngunit ito lamang ang paraan na naiisip ko patunayan ang aking kawalang-sala.nagsugal ako na makakuha ako ng hustisya dito.)

“This is really a kangaroo court. This is a political decision.”

Tinanong siya kung paano tanggapin ito ng kanyang mga supporters. Sabi niya, “Hindi ko alam. What is important to me is, I have been acquitted by the people. (Ang mas mahalaga sa akin ay acquitted ako ng taumbayan.).

Habang sinusulat ko ito, nasa holding room ng Sandigaganbayan si Erap. Ang isang kasama niya ay nag-text sa akin,”Ellen, alam mo ng binasa ang verdict, parang may namatay sa amin. Parang lamay. Bakit ganito?”

Alam ko marami ang nagngi- ngitngit. Kung ano ang mangyayari sa fga sumunod na mga araw at linggo, abangan natin.

Ilang sa mga reaksyon sa aking blog:

Galing kay Vonjovi2: “Hindi na bago at noon pa nahatulan si Erap. Kailangan ng kumilos ang mga tao dahil masyado ng malala ang sitwasyon ng bansa natin. Kailangan ng kalusin ang mga naka upo na puro magnanakaw. Nag hihintay na lang kami ng kilos protesta at mag EDSA tres ulit.”

Galing kay Chi: “Sige, tapos na si Erap, isunod na si Gloria!”

    Why the P728 million fertilizer scam investigation is not moving at the Office of the Ombudsman? Is Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez dragging the investigation?

    Sa likod ng sinasabing mga kasalanan ni Erap, tunay na kahanga-hanga ang kanyang ipinakitang katatagan kahapon. Hindi ako likas na supporter ni Erap, pero inaamin ko na kahapon ay nagbago ang aking tingin sa kanyang pagkatao. I saw in him a person who have a strong faith in the court process that failed him, while others are taking advantage of the “last bastion of democracy”.

    Ayon ako sa inyong Malaya editorial that “he is at the moment as good as vindicated.”

    Sige, tapos na si Erap, isunod na si Gloria!

    Kung ganyang napakahaba na ng mga anomalya ni Gloria ay dapat lang na simulan na ngayon. Ang nakalista ay 16 na, baka abutin ng 20 lifetimes ‘yan ni Gloria ay hindi pa maresolba!

  5. Chi,

    “Kung ganyang napakahaba na ng mga anomalya ni Gloria ay dapat lang na simulan na ngayon. ”

    Approve! This is the time to focus on her backside – kick her where it hurts and now. No let up, keep those crimes of her on the front pages of newspapers, in social gatherings, in blogs, posts, e-mails, cybergroups, etc., etc.

  6. Sabi nga ng Nanay ko (who very rarely comment to me about the political situation in Pinas), “Hayop yan!” And my Mom is my exact opposite – hardly ever utter a bad word, for her to say that means, she’s had enough too.

  7. chi chi

    Anna,

    Sabi tatay ko, si Gloria daw ay buwitre na walang kinikilala basta siya lang ang gagana!

  8. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    The Arroyo government cannot account the $683 million Marcos’ wealth recovered from Swiss bank accounts. Billions of pesos vanished without a trace in a short period of time under Gloria Arroyo’s robbing frenzy. Patong-patong na ang plunder, at scams ang rehimeng Arroyo. Kailan isu-sunod si Gloria? Matagal pa ang 2010. Baka latak na lang ang matitira para sa taumbayan.

  9. Diego,

    Baka nga ni latak wala na lang ang matitira para sa taumbayan.

  10. paquito paquito

    Kung kay Erap, not guilty si jinggoy—-kay Gloria buong pamilya guilty kasama ang nagpapanggap na jose pidal
    Mga demonyo sa malakanyang, pweee!
    RIP

  11. cocoy cocoy

    If Erap is guilty of plunder, time is running out for Arroyo and she must move quickly to explain to “Little John with a Cross” why her journal of plunder is taller than her,and it is likely to prove costly to her future. Her greed has corrupted her judgment.
    It is true, of course, that wherever there is smoke there is fire. She strives to reward her neocons and friends. But there is this difference between Her and Erap: Erap have said “Walang kaibigan,kaibigan at huwag ninyo akong susubukan” Gloria have said”Walang kaibigan,kaibigan kung wala kayong pakinabang”

  12. pechanco pechanco

    Not only was Erap convicted of plunder. All his assets have been confiscated. Even the funds of the Erap Muslim Youth Foundation have also been confiscated. That’s all for now. If there’s going to be a revolution, please advise me know how to join.

  13. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    Well, the long awaited verdict of guilty is now finally official, after over six years of Gloria plundering the people’s money, only to convict the legitimate President of the Philippines, President Joseph Ejercito Estrada…Like I said many times before, the only way to deal with illegitimate Gloria is “One Million Warm Bodies” at the gates of Malacanang. Starting today, illegitimate Gloria shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate or gloat, never.

  14. paquito paquito

    Sino kaya maniniwala kay Gloria na wala silang kinalaman sa hatol kay Erap—-magpa survey kayo baka 100% na ang hindi satisfied kay Gloria.

  15. pechanco pechanco

    I mean: Please advise me how to join (disregard know). Batid kong masama ang inyong loob kasama na ang buong taong bayan. Ang natutuwa lang si Satanas at kanyang kampo. But believe in the common saying that “Kung may dilim ay may liwanag.” It’s not the end. It’s just the beginning.

  16. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Matindi ang ‘vacuum cleaner’ in Gloria. Akalain mo pati latak ay limas. Dapat hindi palampasin ng Senate Blue Ribbon Committee ang ZTE broadband misdeal. Mas-maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw na sabit sila Gloria at Abalos sa multi-million $ payoff.

  17. jdeleon5022 jdeleon5022

    Habang pinapanood ko ng “live” ang paghatol kay Erap, nagngingitngit ang kalooban ko dahil pera ang nakikita kong nakatapal sa mukha ng tatlong judges. Tanging sa Pilipinas lang, baluktot ang batas, hanggat naka-upo yang bansot na Gloria, walang mangyayaring matino sa Pilipinas. Gloria, ma karma ka na sana, kasama ang mga kasabwat mo sa pagnanakaw ng pera ng bayan.

  18. vonjovi2 vonjovi2

    Sobra na ito at kailangan na nga natin kumilos dahil ang mga matitinong Senators at Congressman/woman ay walang magawa sa kanilang mga pag iimbistiga. Kahit anong tatag ng ebidensiya mo ay bale wala sa mga judges , SC , ang mga tiwaling namumuno sa gobyerno. Hindi naman tayo bobo na hindi natin alam ang tama at mali. Alam natin na totoong maraming pag nanakaw at pandadaraya ang ginagawa ng mag asawang Arrovo. Pero ano ang magagawa natin? Kailangan na natin mag umpisa ng EDSA Tres ulit… Eto lang ang paraan para mawala ang mga suwapang sa Gobyerno natin.
    Mga Militar, SC, JUDGES at politiko at Lalo na ang mga CARDINAL ay mababa na ang tingin natin sa kanila. Dahil iba ang kanilang pinaglalaban ngayon. Noon ay para sa bayan pero Ngayon ay para sa pera na makukuha nila.
    Kailangan na natin kumilos.

    Sa una pa lang na listahan ni DJB –

    Jose Pidal unexplained wealth –

    payag na akong hang ’em dry at the highest lamp post.
    As if to add insult and injury to the pinoy people
    the Pacific Grapevine says Gloria is coming to California
    to celebrate … er … to gloat.

  20. kahit malayo kami sa Pilipinas ay nararamdaman namin ang matinding pagka-asar ng halos lahat, kumukulo na sa galit ang marami. Sige gatungan pa nila, sa tingin ni gloria palagi siyang makakalusot dahil mga TANGE na raw ang mga pinoy ngayon kaya nababaliktad na niya ang kamalian.

  21. pechanco pechanco

    Coincidence lang ba ito?

    3 US warships dumating

    Thursday, September 13, 2007

    Tatlong US warship na mayroong “guided missile destroyers” ang dumaong kahapon sa Manila Bay at Cebu City habang binabasa ang sakdal kay dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada sa Sandiganbayan.

    Nais malaman ni Sen. Rodolfo Biazon, chairman ng Senate committee on national defense and security kung nagkataon lamang o hindi ang pagdating sa bansa ng tatlong barkong pandigma ng Amerika.

  22. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Galit na talaga ang mga Pinoy, pati si Toney Cuevas nabuhay.

    BTW, Ellen, I heard over at DZBB a very elated Atty. Serapio thanking you and Ninez and a few other non-journalists.

  23. cocoy cocoy

    Pechanco;
    Iyong tatlong barko na dumating sa pinas ay pantapat sana sa mga sundalo ni punggok kung nag-alsa ang masa.Kaya nga noong nagkita sila ni Bush ang sabi ni Big Guy sa little Gal ay kukutusin niya si Little Gal kung salbahe siya.Kaya lang naduwag ata ang mga supporter ni Erap sa mga nakapatig at naka asul,kinulang ang bentenuevi.

  24. pechanco pechanco

    Mga comment nila at mga sagot ko naman:

    Sen. Richard Gordon – “Nakikiramay ako sa pamilya Estrada. Dapat respetuhin natin ang batas, kilala ko si Justice De Castro, magaling iyan dahil naging kaklase ko iyan. I supposed dapat nating harapin ang katotohanan.”

    Answer: This Sen. AC-DC said Justice De Castro is a good judge because he’s his classmate. Anong connection ng pagiging kaklase sa pagiging magaling na huwes? Stupid!

    Ex-Ilocos Sur Gov. ‘Chavit’ Singson – “Masaya dahil sa wakas nabigyan tayo ng hustisya at nagtagumpay ang hustisya natin. Malungkot dahil sa ibang nadamay, na nag-iba ang mga buhay nila, iyong mga testigo na natakot.”

    Ans: He’s happy because had Erap been acquitted, GMA has no reason to stay a day longer in office and Singson will be in trouble.

    LTO Chief Reynaldo Berroya – “Dapat sa New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) si Estrada hindi sa Tanay, Rizal”.

    Ans. Berroya would still be in prison if Erap’s still the President. LTO is among the most corrupt agencies headed by a corrupt Chief.

    And what does FVR has to say about the verdict? Tahimik na naman si Tabako.

  25. pechanco pechanco

    Yes na yes, Cocoy. Apparently, GMA and Bush talked about those warships when they met during the APEC meeting.

  26. chi chi

    Even Erap Muslim Youth Foundation was ordered confiscated by Gloria thru her kangaroo court.

    Patay na, nasa Ramadan pa mandin si Gokusen kundi ay nagsisigaw na ‘yun kasabay natin!

  27. Penchanco,

    Thanks for the compilation of comments. Here are my own comments:

    Re Gordon: “kilala ko si Justice De Castro, magaling iyan dahil naging kaklase ko iyan.”

    Hahahah! magaling dahil naging kaklase niya? Is that so, well Mr Gordon Toad, you’ve just done your classmate great diservice – it’s thumbs down from me!

    Re Singson: ““Masaya dahil sa wakas nabigyan tayo ng hustisya at nagtagumpay ang hustisya natin.”

    Whoa, buster! Anong hustisya e nasa labas ka pa? Kapag nasa electric chair ka na, ayan may hustisya na!

    Re Berroya: ““Dapat sa New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) si Estrada hindi sa Tanay, Rizal”.

    OK din, pero handa ka na bang maging bunk mate niya sa bilibid? Duwag!

  28. chi chi

    LTO Chief Reynaldo Berroya – “Dapat sa New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) si Estrada hindi sa Tanay, Rizal”.

    Pechanco,

    Iyan ang gusto ko, makita natin kung gaano talaga ang tapang ni “Little One”!

    Kaya hindi idinala sa Munti si Erap e, hindi niya kayang basahin ang mga tao, play safer na lang s’ya at itinuloy si Erap sa Tanay din.

    Bakit hindi utusan ni Berroya ang kanyang Korap Queen amo na doon sa Munti ikulong si Erap? Baka pakinggan s’ya.

  29. Since I don’t have faith in the present Philippine justice system, I doubt if the unano can be convicted like Erap. Huwag ninyo nang asahang may mangyayari as of the moment hangga’t kaya ng mga pilipinong magtiis.

    Sakim talaga itong si unano. Iyon ngang institute na pinamamahalaan ng kakilala kong pari na funded ng foundation ni Erap, komo kumikita, ayon tinikwat na rin ni Pandak and presently being managed by one of her appointees. Tiba ang pera diyan. Kaya my group and I have stopped patronizing it. Iyong bang gumagawa ng mga stuff toys, dolls and story book made of cloth.

    Tapos mang-aagaw na siya ang may origin ng project na ninakaw niya.

  30. chi chi

    Cocoy,

    Kahit naman ikaw kung nakita mo ang show of military force ni Gloria at Asspweron…lahat yata ng armored tanks sa Basilan at ni-recall, 6000 sundalong naka battle gears, kumpleto sa haba ng mga armalite, pupusta ako na kahit si Medy Storedface pa ang inaakbayan mo ay aatras ka rin. Heheh!

  31. Hindi pa puedeng ipadala si Erap sa Muntinlupa kasi kailangan pang i-appeal ang kaso niya sa Supreme Court. Tignan natin kung magiging fair si Puno!

    Ang saya! You bet, kailangan din makulong iyong pinakamatabang isda ng pagnanakaw! Magpapalakpakan ang lahat!

    A friend of mine called me up in fact yesterday upon hearing of the news on Erap and she said in Japanese “Omedetoo” (Congratulations!) knowing how hard my group and I try to change the image of the Philippines as the country where the presidents are conceived to be robbers and thieves. She thought these crooks would now be all put in jail.

    I told her, “No dice. The big ones are still out like FVR and Gloria Arroyo y Pidal!”

  32. chi chi

    Heto naman ang sa akin:

    Re Gordon: “kilala ko si Justice De Castro, magaling iyan dahil naging kaklase ko iyan.”

    Tumutulo rin ang laway ni Justice de Castro sa kapal ng pera na isinampal sa kanya ni Gloria!

    Re Singson: ““Masaya dahil sa wakas nabigyan tayo ng hustisya at nagtagumpay ang hustisya natin.”

    Wala pang wakas ang hustisya kasi hinihintay namin na mabitay ka. ‘Yan ang tunay na hustisya!

    Re Berroya: ““Dapat sa New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) si Estrada hindi sa Tanay, Rizal”.

    Sino na nga ang supot na ito, Anna?

  33. cocoy cocoy

    Chi;
    Tama ka dyan.Hindi ako takot sa mga mahahaba ng mga nakapatig at pamalo ng mga naka asul,doon ako takot sa bentenuevi ni Storedface,masakit iyon sa kili-kili at matetanu pa ako marami pa akong gagastusin sa pagpapadoctor,pwera pa iyong bayad sa kabaong at karosa.Mas maganda ang mamatay pag balutin ng Bandila kesa balutin ng Benda.

  34. Tongue: BTW, Ellen, I heard over at DZBB a very elated Atty. Serapio thanking you and Ninez and a few other non-journalists.

    ******

    Now, we should help him recover his good name. Serapio should sue the Philippine government for wrongful detention, etc. to stop this kind of kangaroo court.

    He should join an international bar association like what some friends of mine have done for his protection in doing so. Golly, isang utos lang noong magnanakaw tinatanggalan na sila ng lisensiya to practice law, samantalang ang daming nakaupo sa Dept. of Justice bobo at siyang dapat tanggalan ng mga lisensiya. Kung sabagay baka peke naman ang mga diploma, etc.

    Go, go, go, Atty. Serapio! Ipaglaban mo ang dangal at puri mo. Ipaglaban mo ang titulo mo!!!

  35. Hahahhah! “Sino na nga ang supot na ito, Anna?”

    Chi, he used to be a former cop whom Lacson fired for stealing (caught in the act yan and best friend pa ni Chavit); the fellow was kind of demoted and harboured deep resentment against Lacson. Berroya was the cop who, along with Lastimoso provided help to Mike fatso Arroyo and abetted the piggy couple – those two supots gave lots of PNP intel to Arroyo throughout the year so Arroyo could raise his the 1,000,000 red warm bodies (sabi ni Joma marami daw na actual NPAs and sympathizers and pumunta sa Manila Edsa 2 hiling ni Gloria through Satur Ocampo) that Angelo Reyes needed for the armies to surrender to Gloria.

  36. BTW, may tinatranslate akong mga interviews. Grabe pala talaga sa Negros ang situation ng mga tao doon. Gosh, primitive pa rin ang mga pamumuhay mismo sa probinsiya noong makapal ang mukhang matabang mama!

    Golly, nabigyan ng patis, tuwang-tuwa iyong mga anak ng isang peasant doon na pinapaalis doon sa lupa na kinaingin ng mga magulang niya. Under threat sila noong mga guwardia ng hacienderong gustong kamkamin ang lupa nila!

    Nakakadugo ng puso. Tatlong isdang payat, inuulam ng pitong bata! And the unano calls that progress? Manigas siya!

  37. Chi, by the way, I just read your comment in cvj’s blog.

  38. Tama si Anna. Berroya is an immortal enemy of Lacson. Kaya nga binigyan ng magandang posisyon to help unano stay in the palace by the murky river. Hindi pa ba natepok ang mamang iyan?

  39. paquito paquito

    Ang masasabi ko lang ngayon ay handa na tayong umakyat sa ibang lebel na pakikibaka–yon ay patalsikin si Gloria at mga kampon, kasuhan ng naaayon sa knilang mga pagkakasala lalo na sa taong bayan.
    Ngayon ay pagkakataon na ng magigiting nating senador sa oposisyon na halukayin ang hello garci ni Gloria, broadband deal at lahat ng kaso kasama siempre si jose pidal.
    Ngayon malalaman ang katapangan ng mga senador na ito na iniluklok ng taong bayan

  40. Tanggalin muna ang mga alipores ni unano sa pulisya, militar, korte, etc. Then, we can be sure she can be convicted. Otherwise, mga katulad lang ni Erap at Joey Marquez ang makukulong! Justice? Wala niyan sa Pilipinas! Only Just-tiis! Hindi pa ba ninyo alam?

    Hindi puede iyong 200 rallyists versus 6,000 soldiers! May 2000 pa bang pulis? Sobra naman ka-OA-yan iyan! Kung magra-rally ang mga pinoy, kailangan iyong 8M or more na bumoto sa mga matitinong senador!

  41. rose rose

    Yuko: Habang si Gloria ay semantado sa upuan niya wala tayong maasahan na justice lalo pa pag ang Death of Justice ay bugay pa. Justice and Truth will resurrect once they are removed..this is my impression. Kaya kailangan sibakin na ang lahat ng mga iyan..katayin na..

  42. Yuko’s “Justice? Wala niyan sa Pilipinas! Only Just-tiis! ”

    To be perfectly honest, I can very well believe Yuko. There IS a semblance of justice but how can there be justice when most big time judges, justices, lawyers, (witness Abalos!)etc. etc can be bought, not necessarily with cash but through other forms of corruption but in many cases, ordinary judges are PAID by one or the other party (nampucha talaga!).

    No later than last month, a wealthy friend of mine who had joined us on holiday to celebrate the annulment of her marriage to a bastard said to me that she paid a judge lots to pronounce her marriage annulment fast and in her favour.

    I asked her why she had to pay up. She said, because otherwise, if her ex-husband got to the judge first, she would be “dead.” (The money is hers and not her husband’s.)

    My husband and my children couldn’t believe their ears! My daughter said, “Mum, could this be true?” I said, “Alas, my dear, it is so very true and happens often in the Philippines.”

    I needen’t describe to you my daughter’s facial reaction – it’s as if she had received a B or a C in one of her subjects.

  43. cocoy cocoy

    Hehehehe!Tuwang-tuwa si Dick at classmate daw niya si judge De Castro at iyong eldest brother ko,nagkokpyahan ang mga iyan at nililibre nila ang professor nila sa meryenda ng siopao.

  44. Paguito’s “patalsikin si Gloria at mga kampon, kasuhan ng naaayon sa knilang mga pagkakasala lalo na sa taong bayan.”

    I’m all for it! Slap them with cases after cases and bury them under those cases alive.

    Welcome back Toney Cuevos long time no hear, you can include me in that One Million persons standing outside the Palace Gates.
    There is no way that this Sandiganbayan verdict can be even considered as being a ‘closer’ and please allow me to give you my reasons to say this.
    Whilst watching the television covergae of the verdict I couldn’t help myself smiling at the ‘lawyer talk’ the language used over the years to try to bamboozal the ‘ordinary’ layman. Whilst it seems that the judiciary such as these three justices are living in the past, without realising that through the aid of reacent technology ‘ordinary’ laymen such as you and I have a better understanding of what ‘reasonable dought’ means and are bold enough to question them even though the three justices are thought to be honest and truthful, that is until yesterday. Today many people are doubting these justices in judging what is ‘beyond reasonable doubt’.
    One Million standing outside the Palace Gates would be able to make many instant changes for the better, including a better judiciary which is sorely needed.
    This judiciary had its chance and failed us miserablely.

    Papaanong nakakalusot si Meldy sa mga kaso niya? Magaling siyang maglagay! Katakot-takot na regalo sa mga ungas sa SC, etc. sabi ng kaibigan kong bangas na bangas sa sistema pero walang magawa!

    Kaya bakit ako babalik sa Pilipinas? Makukunsumi lang ako. Tataas lang ang BP ko na baka mamamatay pa ako ng wala sa oras. Samantalang dito sa Japan or even in the US, I continue my advocacies even for better Philippines.

    Kaya arya ang batikos dito sa mga ungas dito sa gobyerno ng magnanakaw! Siguro pag wala na si Talandi, puede ko nang magpagawa ng mansion sa 50 hectares na ibinibigay ng mother ko sa akin!

  49. parasabayan parasabayan

    I will accept Erap’s verdict if the tiyanak will go through the same route of conviction! She is far worse than Erap in all aspects!

  50. Re Tongue’s “BTW, Ellen, I heard over at DZBB a very elated Atty. Serapio thanking you and Ninez and a few other non-journalists.”

    I missed that.

    The Serapios, Ed and Grace, have become my friends. I used to visit Ed when he was in detention. They are good persons.

    Although Ed and Grace are happy that Ed has been acquitted, they are also sad of what happened to Erap.

  51. Yuko,

    Di ba si Lucio Tan ganyan din? The rumour that wouldn’t die is that the tax cases never got him down because he bribed some people in the BIR and when the tax case finally reached the the SC, they couldn’t do anything there against him either because he had bribed the guys there too…

  52. Takot lang nilang dalhin agad si Erap sa Muntinlupa. Balita ko ang dami niyang mga tagahanga doon. Baka iyon mga iyon pa ang magwala kung sakaling ipasok ang idolo nila doon! Mga hardened kriminal ang mga nandoon na lalong naging hardened nang mapasok sa Muntinlupa! Breeding ground ng mga hardened criminal yata instead of being a true correctional! Ano sila, nagpapakamatay! Baka mangyari diyan, ma-convert din si Erap sa Islam gaya ng nangyari doon kay Robin Padilla. Ang saya!

  53. maarte maarte

    Hindi na kailangan magpa-convert si Erap sa Islam dahil marami na ang asawa niya (he, he). Robin Padilla indeed changed a lot after his conversion. Hindi na mainit ang ulo at basagulero tulad ng dati. Pero balita ko mahilig pa rin sa chicks.

  54. Ewan ko iyong tungkol kay Lusu Tan, Anna. But I bet he does the same or more than what Meldy does. May kasama pang free trip anywhere siguro dahil kanya ang PAL. Sa totoo lang, pasalamat si Tan na sa kaniya ibinigay ni Erap ang PAL. Remember when PAL went bankrupt and Lusu Tan was asked to save it? Panahon ni Erap iyon. Salamat naman hindi humingi ng tulong sa kaniya si Erap. Kaya sinong may sabing nag-plunder si Erap. Bribery pa, maniniwala ako! Iyon ngang asawa inalukan ng bribe dito sa totoo lang. Ewan ko lang kung tinanggap! Siguro hindi kasi may delikadeza naman si Dr. Loi.

  55. Kaya nga magpapa-convert siya sa Islam para maging legal ang kasal niya sa mga asawa niya at hindi na sila kabit lang! Di ba ganyan din ang ginawa noong asawa ni Loren. Nagpa-convert sa Islam para maging legal ang mga kasal niya sa mga asawa niya?

    Sa bagay, dati namang mga Moslem ang mga pilipino maliban na lang doon sa mga nakatira sa Cordilleras bago dumating ang mga kastila kaya siguro karamihan sa mga pilipino babaero at itong mga pilipina naman ngayon lalakero na rin! Pero sa Islam yata bawal ang polygamy sa babae! Kaya daig sila nitong mga Kristyanong pilipina na paiba-iba ng asawa ngayon via some silly annulments na hindi pa sabihing diborsiyo! Hypocrite talaga!

  56. Annulment BTW in the US is granted only when the marriage is not consummated. Pero sa Pilipinas, sampu-sampu na ang anak, annulment pa rin ang tawag kapag gustong i-dissolve ang kasal. Susmaryosep. Hindi pala naiintindihan ang ingles, pa-ingles-ingles pa!

  57. parasabayan parasabayan

    While we are hot on the prosecution of the corrupt, etc…Why is Leviste still out drinking cognac when he killed someone? Why is Abalos still sporting that smirky look on the ZTE deal? Why are Garci and Bedol still out there? The most corrupt Chavit is still busy putting up more jueteng operations, casinos and smuggling operations, even expanding in adjacent provinces other than Ilocos Sur. Why are all the above named criminals still roaming the streets? To be fair to all, everyone who had committed a crime should be prosecuted and if found guilty like Erap, they should be jailed and fined-no double standards here! The law should equally apply to even the lowest of the low citizen and up to the highest person of the land-the president! No exceptions to the rule. This practice will definitely cut corruption and crime to the lowest level. I am all for this! Any judge who receives bribes should also be jailed! We will have to construct more jail cells because we will be jailing millions of people. But if that is what it takes to reform the country, so be it!

  58. maarte maarte

    Sa Pilipinas, ang mga may kayang magpa-annul ay mga maayayaman. Pansinin niyo karamihan mga artista at celebrities. Let me ask you: What’s the difference between annulment, legal separation and divorce?

    Anong say niyo sa mga statement ni Singson tulad nito?

    Singson said Estrada’s case should serve as a stern warning to all Filipinos that “there is a working justice system” in the country. “[The case serves as a reminder that] nobody can escape from the arms of the law, even a former president.”

    “Don’t blame me, blame your ‘lame’ lawyers, especially Rene Saguisag,” he said.

    Singson said the verdict would not be complete until Estrada landed behind bars in Muntinlupa.

    “True justice is when he is treated like other criminals and not given special privileges like living in a rest house in Tanay,” he said.

    Chavit is speaking like a hoodlum, which he very well is!

  61. ““True justice is when he is treated like other criminals and not given special privileges like living in a rest house in Tanay,”

    Said like a true criminal that he is! What about the murder case that’s still unresolved to this date involving him, the murder of his auditor?

  62. parasabayan parasabayan

    Chavit is more potently criminal than Erap! Cross his path and you will be six feet under the ground. He is an “eliminator” and the tiyanak and this hoodlum share the same passion!

  63. parasabayan parasabayan

    Anna, the murder of Chavit’s auditor was just one of the “murders” implicating him. There are more and they are mostly his business partners. If the business does not go his way, the business partner disappears or is murdered. He is tiyanak’s mentor through and through! I wonder what kind of an “end” he is going to have! For sure it will not be like Erap’s. It will be something worse that that!

  64. Diyan ka bilib, PSB. Justice in the Philippines, may favoritism! Susmaryosep! Naninilip siguro iyong diyosa ng katarungan sa Pilipinas na supposedly nakatakip ang mga mata! She is blindfolded so she won’t be prejudiced and can judge properly and accurately. Sa Pilipinas, pati hustisya, garapal!

    Kawawang bansa! Forget about justice prevailing in present-day Philippines. Tignan mo na si Chavit ng kriminal, hindi makulong! I believe you, PSB. Maski mga taga-Ilocos Sur, isinusuka ang demonyong iyan. Scourge of the Ilocano race ang ‘kinanang iyan! Malapit na rin iyan. Mark my word.

    From Malaya:
    “THE conviction of former President Joseph Estrada for the crime of plunder is “a sense of vindication for President Arroyo and justified Edsa people power 2 in January 2001,” Malacañang said yesterday.”

    Ooops, slip of the tongue? So, they admitting that the three justices were ‘influenced and coerced’ by Malacañang to give a guilty verdict to Erap Estrada! Truly this is political. Pero kung ang mga justices ay ganito magdesisyon, wala nang aasahan pang FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE sa ating mga korte.

  67. maarte, si little glo ay hindi magreresign kaya nga super kapalmuks eh

    The Sadiliganbayan convicted Erap beyond reasonable doubt. But why were Jinggoy and Atty. Serapio acquitted? Kung kasama sila sa plunder at nawalang sala, di lumalabas na may doubt pa rin ang korte sa guilty ni Erap. It would only be beyond reasonable doubt if the other two were also convicted. Kahit hindi ako abogado, naniniwala ako sa argumentong iyan.

    Ang Weteng sa Ilocos ay matagal ng ginagawa. Hindi pa si Chavit noon. Nong umupo siya as Gobernador lalong lumala. Yong mga smuggled Scooters, rerigerators, washing machine at iba pa ay noong naka-upo na si Chavit. Si Erap ay artista o Mayor pa lang dati. At papano yayaman yang mga Singson na yan ano ba ang pinagkakakitaan nila dati kundi yang Weteng at tabako.
    Ewan ko kung bakit nasabit ang kawawang Erap sa mga negosyo ng mga Singson. Diyan pa lang e alam mo na na gawa-gawa lang lahat para ibintang sa kanya. Sabi niya dapat aminin na ni Erap ang mga kasalanan niya dahil siya ay tumatanda na. Kaya pala pati kasalanan niya ay gusto aminin na rin ni Erap. Ano ba yan? Kung magsalita akala mo napakalinis na niya?

    Sa panig ni Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, umapela ito sa mga tagasuporta ni Estrada na igalang ang desisyon at huwag nang dalhin sa kalsada ang kanilang sentimiyento.

    Iyun ang dasal niya dahil baka wala na siyang makuhang abuloy (pera) sa Diyos niyang Tiyanak. Kung makikita ko lang sina Rosales at Villegas sa Simbahan ay sisigiwan ko ang mga ito na dapat nilang hubarin ang banal na damit na ginagamit nila ngayon. Isa akong Katoliko pero hindi ko na rin kayang sikmurahin ang mga ginagawa nitong mga pareng politiko.

    Samantala, nagkakaisa ring nagbabala kay Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) at Pamalakaya sa pagsasabing, “Darating ang panahong si GMA (Pangulong Arroyo) na ang hahatulan at hindi hamak na mas masaklap at mapait ang sasapitin niya.”
    Sagot ko ay:
    Sana nga at pagkatapos ng bitay ay ilagay naman ulit sa electric chair at turukan ng likido pang patigil ng puso. Iyun ay kulang pa sa ginawa niyang pag wasak sa kinabukasan ng bansa natin.

    sabi ni Apostol ay
    “GMA is immune from suit at this moment… I think that’s an issue that’s controversial…but no worries. She’s clean,” kumpiyansang pahayag ni presidential legal adviser Sergio Apostol.

    Sa inyo lang na not guilty si Tiyanak dahil isa kayo sa mga makasalan at magnanakaw. Pag namatay kayo ay mag bubunyi ang mga tao sigurado ko.

    Let Erap stay in jail. His lawyers should not make any appeal for reversal nor avail any form of pardon from the Tiyanak as Erap himself had previously stated. It’s a sound tactical operation against this evil incarnate of a woman.

    The sword of Damocles must now be directed towards Her Evilness Madame Gloria Magnanakaw.

    Only after the usurper is kicked out of her fortress should Erap negotiate for clemency and/or pardon and/or reversal of verdict with the newly installed legit government.

  78. klingon klingon

    There is something worrisome about the Erap conviction. Given Gloria’s propensity to oppress her enemies, lalakas na loob niya. All of her political enemies, including the brave soldiers currently being held like the Magdalo and the February stand-off Marines and Scout Rangers are now in gravest danger. Kung si Erap na dating Presidente kaya niyang ipa-convict, ano pa kaya ang mga ito? Di kaya lalo silang pag-iinitan na ngayon?

    At yung mga tao niyang may mga kaso, katulad ni Palparan,Jocjoc atbp lahat yun, makakalusot.

    GMA’s time is nearly up, 2010 is nearly here. Without any viable candidate from her camp, divine retribution will exact its heavy toll. Let the wheel of justice roll on. Erap may well as well be guilty as charged, but the constitutional process was never followed to begin with, Speaker VIllar railroaded the impeachment process, the prosecutors walked out of the impeachment trial, the AFP High Command committed grave treason by “withdrawal of support”, the 4 ways to remove a sitting President wasn’t followed. Where in it does it contain the words “constructively resigned”?
    Erap had the numbers in the Senate to acquit him, wether we like it or not it was for the good of the nation, The Constitution was recklessly trampled upon. Allan Paguia hit it on the money. The arguements he raised with the SC ( that eventually got him is license to practice law suspended ) was really brave of him, because he believed in the process, which the sitting and illegal regime, whichever way the SC spins and make a mockery of the laws of the land and of the Constitution, has shamelessly weaken and set the precedent of ousting of a President duly elected by the people just by a simple withdrawal of support.

    Again, their time will come. Barring any last ditch manipulation ( which can never be discounted up until the very last moment knowing by this admin )
    I just hope that she and her evil cohorts do not flee the land and trust the justice system that they have so assiduously been saying to the people. I can’t wait to see the day they invoke EO 464 again.

    May I butt in re your question: “how far will you go if a revolution will happen today?”?

    To me it would do us all a great disservice if we reveal our thoughts on what we shall do when the revolution or if it happens today.

    It is not unlikely that many of Gloria’s paid hacks are constant readers of this blog and we wouldn’t want to give them an inkling of how people will do things to support a “revolution”.

    It would be easier to do it privately, if at all possible, via a more restrictive e-mail grouping and even then, we gotta watch out.

    This woman cannot seem to grasp that there are things done in what we call good taste. After she gloated and partied in Malacanang yesterday, something I suppose did not escape Erap’s friends, she has the odiousness to show up in front of Erap, his children, his friends to add salt to injury?

  103. maarte maarte

    That’s weird. Wala ang mga litrato nina Marcos at Erap sa Philippine Embassy ng Japan? Baka naman sa lahat ng embassy ng Pilipinas abroad. That’s one serious thing we all must determine. A president who was duly elected even if ousted was still the President of the Republic of the Philippines. Ngayon ko lang narinig iyan. More than the two abovementioned former Presidents, this GMA has no right and will never have that in any Philippine Embassy abroad because she was never elected. Ni isa man sa Philippine Embassy staff hindi umangal. I understand the current Filipino envoy in Japan Mr. Siazon was once Erap’s Foreign Secretary. Bakit hindi siya kumikibo?

  104. Anna:

    This criminal must be a sadist to want to torture her enemy while in prison, for I would consider it as such if I were Erap, who would be vindicated more if he would not allow this creep from insulting him any more than necessary.

    Demonyo talaga ang walanghiyang ito. Akala niya siguro lahat ng kapwa niya pilipino kasing kapal ng mukha niya to want her to meet her. Kung ako si Erap, I will make the extreme sacrifice—like asking for a grenade to explode when she visits him in his prison cell. Patay kung patay. Anyway, with the number of Filipinos he will save from furher sufferings, baka namam patawarin siya ng Panginoon sa pagpatay niya sa sarili niya kasama iyong unano!!!

    Maging babala nalang ito sa mga nakaupo ngayon lalo na kay Arroyo. Ang pagkakaiba nya lang kay Erap ay mas sagana sa ibedensya ang kanyang mga kinasasangkutan at wala na atang sampung porsyentong mamamayan ang naniniwala sa kanya at gusto syang mawala sa pwesto. Hindi nya dapat ika-tuwa kung kung ang mga pangyayari ay pumapabor sa kanyang kagustuhan o nalulusutan nya pa. Ang hindi nya alam ay lalo lang nya ginagalit ang mga mamamayan. Hindi man sya mahatulan sa lupa ‘wag nyang kalimutan na may hahatol sa kabilang buhay na hindi nya kayang lusutan at habangbuhay ang paghihirap

    Iginagalang ko ang pasiya ng sandigang bayan,Kaya sana maging patas sila dahil kitang-kita na ang mga pagnanakaw ng mga nakaupo ,lalong lalo na yang mag-asawang Arroyo sana higit pa dyan ang sapitin ninyo,pagnakulong kayong mag-asawa diretso na kayo sa Muntinlupa kasi kayo ang no.1 corrupt ng bansang Pilipinas di ka dapat naging pangulo.

    Pag-uwi ko sasama ako kahit anong rally sukdulang pagbuwisan ng buhay kasi di ako sang-ayon sa hatol,kay Pres. Erap. Pres. rap youre still the Pres for me.

    Sana pag-appeal mo sa court ay magising yang mga humatol sa iyo.mas hatulan nila yang makapal ang mukhang nakaupo,kasi matindi sya sa bayan sya ang salot .

    Taga de cebu, you said that “Gloria remember:“I have sat at the sumptuous tables of power, but I have not run away with the silverware.” Diosdado Macapagal” (September 13th, 2007 at 7:38 pm)

    The father of the most hated President of the Republic of the Philippines is partly telling the truth. He did “..not run away with the silverware” because he had a bagman (Mr. H) to do it. This was a story my grandparents liked to repeat over & over. Kaso the guy died in Switzerland because of a supposedly gas leak in his chateau. Obviously Mr. H he was there depositing the dirty Macapagal money in some Swiss bank account. Can we expect Gloria to be clean ? The fruit isn’t far from the tree..

    On the ZTE Broadband deal..

    I recall what someone told me..Mike Arroyo was suppose to have gone to China sometime in April of this year, however he suffered a heart attack which was a near-death experience for him. Mike was supposed to have met the ZTE officials in China. So instead, Gloria left for China, despite the condition of her husband. The Pidals needed the money for the upcoming May elections.

    No wonder Gloria & her pigs are scrambling to do something about the ZTE Broadland deal. In fact, Gloria said that the deal will push through despite media’s attack towards it (stupid reasoning, if you ask me). I think the real reason the deal has to push through come hell or high water is because she cannot return the money. It has been spent !

  130. chi chi

    Chabs,

    Would you believe me if I tell you that I know of a relative of a family that used to keep Dadong Makapal’s wealth. Doon iniiwan ni Mr. H ang lahat before depositing the wealth at Switzerland. That family relative was a faculty staff in the university where I used to teach. Her ‘oldies’ were close friends of Mr. H. Ang daming kwento na kaya niyang patunayan.

    Kaya ako, never na bumilib diyan kay Dadong. Kwento na ng matatanda ay kwento pa rin ng mga bata tungkol sa kakorapan ng “a poor boy from Lubao”!

    AdeBrux:

    Anyway, the press release from Malacanang said Ms. Arroyo “came and went like a thief in the night” because she arrived in Boao “in the wee hours of Saturday,” April 21, and “left at 3:30 p.m. of the same day, but not after witnessing the signing of five landmark economic agreements…that, in her own words, would…raise the competitiveness of our country.”

    Is this not a great job ???

  143. Chi, Chabs,

    I really believe that if Gen Lim and Col Querubin, along with the rest of the incarcerated officers, Aquino, Langkit, Guinolbay, Faeldon, and all the honourable men in imprisoned by Esperon, get to escape, Gloria’s end is near.

    Sila na lang talaga ang pag-asa ng demokrasya, a paradox but who else? Yang mga senador? How many armed divisions do these Senators have? Zero! But these men of honour can lead, command and fight.

  144. Taga na cebu,

    “Is this not a great job ???” Maybe… but is that true?

    You see problem is anything Gloria says is suspect. She’s lied once too often and even with the best will in the world, difficult to believe her.

  145. ellen, I thought the SC had stopped the ZTE or the broadband deal, why is Gloria defying the SC?

    See what I told you (in another loop)? The conviction of Erap, because it was a political hatchett job, would only make Gloria bolder… And here she comes.

    Agree! Besides, piles of evidence are already in the hands of Ping and Pong, Trillanes, “Men of Honor, and others. Exit first, baka bigyan ko pa s’ya ng “presumption of innocence”, and that is if I had “awa” left for her!

    ABALOS ‘Things to Do …

    “Once the province of bird-watchers, mountain climbers and sufferers of obsessive-compulsive disorder, the life list has become widely popular with the harried masses, equal parts motivational self-help and escapist fantasy.

    The lists are, proponents say, the perfect way for anxious time-crunched professionals to embark on spiritual quests in a productivity-obsessed age. The lists are results-oriented, quantifiable and relentlessly upbeat.NEW YORK TIMES”

    If I were Chairman Abalos,I would have this “10 things to do” life list upon retirement in February 2008:

    1)Write a manual for his successor(Rene Sarmiento?) on “How to institute Electoral Reforms”.

    2)Write a “Dear Son” Letter to Mayor Abalos of Mandaluyong
    on “How how he did it His Way!”

    3)Write a letter to Mrs.Abalos (”Sorry Dear,I could only do it That Way in China)

    4)Write a letter to golf caddies on “How to play golf and
    influence Chinese friends”.

    5)Write a “I’m sorry letter to Pimentel (”Sorry ,trabaho lang companero”)

    6)Write a letter to Garci (”Ikaw kasi eh!”)

    7)Write a letter to the 99% of Comelec people who are honest and fair(”Sorry,it’s not your fault,folks!)

    8)To his fellow Commissioners(write a sincere “Repent”!)

    9)To GMA(”I’m always at Your Service Madame)

    10)To the Filipino people(A “BE VIGILANT Next time” letter)

    11)Reflect for the rest of his life on the truth behind this saying”You can some people all the time,and all the people some time,BUT you can’t fool ALL the People ALL the TIME!)

    COMMISSIONer Abalos and late Cong. Perez will join the Comelec Hall of Fame(or shame) soon!

    I have so many things to tell, I’ve read the whole text of the decision and prepared a draft of my technical analysis, trying hard to be objective and open-minded. Five pages later, I’m not even halfway. Hindi ko na siguro matatapos ito. Kuwento ko na lang yung nangyari kahapon.

    Lumabas ako ng bahay afterwatching on tv the promulgation, dun sa likuran namin, where typical “masa” thrives, konti ang tao, walang spirit, di ko alam kung naubusan ng shabu, malakas ang hangover sa alak o napag-isipan na nilang magbagong-buhay na in a flash. Dito nakatira yung mga madalas kong hakutin para mag-rally, pagkain lang at libreng sasakyan hindi ka iiwan. Wala sila sa tambayan. Na-shock? Siguro. Pero believe me, iba talaga ang atmosphere, it’s so thick you can cut the air with a knife. Tipong “walang luko-lukong dadayo rito at gagawa ng malasado ngayon kundi malilintikan!” Mas nakakatakot yata yung ganitong tahimik. Hindi ako sanay.

    Ah well, we were all waiting for action to happen that day. Yung iba, nagpunta sa City Hall, nakikitunog kung anong balak ni Mayor Peewee, kung meron. Walang aksyon. Merong nagpunta sa Roxas Blvd. para tumambay sa Senado at makikibalita, konti lang din daw ang tao, wala ring aksyon. Nagpaikot kami sa driver sa Malibay, Tramo, Harrison, Tolentino, Cabrera, Dominga (mga kalye sa Pasay) kung saan-saan nanggaling yung isang malaking grupo na lumusob sa Malakanyang nung May 1, 2001, walang nagmamartsa! Sumuko na ba ang masa? Bukod sa mga batang paslit na nagsisigawan ng “Putanginamo Gloria” sa may Cabrera (malapit kina Atty. Harry Roque) o yung nagno-noise barrage sa may Harrison, wala nang palatandaan ng matinding reaksyon kahapon dito sa Pasay. Sumilip rin kami sa Roxas Blvd., di naman namin nakita yung mga barko ni Bush (btw, Pinoy pala ang Kapitan ng isa doon, Hernandez ang apelyido)

    Merong mga naghihintay ng text galing sa grupo ni Mayor Aldrin ng Muntinlupa, ready sila sumugod pag tinawagan. Walang nagtext. Alam ko kasi merong inihanda sila Mayor Aldrin San Pedro na mga taong haharang sa kalsada mula Alabang, Susana Heights Exit o Muntinlupa-San Pedro boundary hanggang sa papasok ng New Bilibid Prisons, walang permit para hindi matunugan ng pulis, sabagay kung yung meyor ang mangunguna, sinong sisita kung walang permit. Nagulat nga daw sila nung ibalik sa Tanay si Erap e. Natunugan din siguro yung plano kasi nag-helicopter na pabalik ng Tanay diba? Yun siguro ang maghahatid sana kay Erap sa Munti dahil nga haharangin sa kalsada. Naunsyami ba ang Muntinlupa revolution? Nilunod na lang namin ang sama ng loob sa pamamagitan ng pagtungga ng Ginebra (sabi nung isa, yung demonyo daw sa label, babae at yung nakatapak sa demonya, yung Archangel sa simbahan ng Malakanyang), dahil doon, napatoma na rin ako kahit hindi ako umiinom.

    Yung mga dating masisipag sa rally, yung mga Bayan Muna, LFS, Gabriela, wala sila sa kalye! Oo nga pala, bukod kay RC Constantino, lahat sila kakutsaba ni Gloria nung patalsikin si Erap. Nagpaparty rin siguro kahapon. Ano ang balita, Tilamsik? Kanya-kanya na ba uli? Ubusin na sana sila ni Gloria, care ko! Akala ko kasama ang patas na hustisya sa mga ipinaglalaban nila. Ininterbyu sila sa radyo, puro masaya ang mga damuho except for RC! Pati website ng PCIJ, ang daming bagong entries, naka podcast pa yung mga mansyon ni Erap, puro zero comments. Si jr_lad na lang ang matiyaga at yung pesteng dyslexic na binigyan ko ng “standing ovulation” noon.

    Buti pa dito kay Ellen di natitinag. Dito buhay ang spirit. Dito walang humpay ang ngitngit ng damdamin, matalas parin ang mga komento.

    Panalo na nga ba si Pandak?

    Neonate (who posted an opinion in my blog) may perhaps provide an insight into the calm situation, i.e., calm before the storm? He says this state of things is unnerving to the gendarmes who are perplexed by the situation and are obliged to maintain a high alert status.

    My thinking is that these people, at least the so-called disenfranchised are still in a state of shock. The verdict will sink in lil by lil. It’s the kind of state of shock we see in people who have lost a love one but I believe when they come out of that state, there will be reckoning.

    However, having said that, these people are perhaps waiting for a leader – we all know, and pardon my being blunt, that the sans culottes (that’s how the proletariat was called during the French Revolution) don’t carry out revelotions, they need a leader, they are mere followers.

    Who knows? They’re probably just waiting for a Danton to storm the Philippine Bastille to drag the Queen to Plaza Miranda where Monsieur Guillotin’s blades await her?

    Reward. It is no secret that Sandiganbayan Justices Teresita de Castro and Francisco Villaruz Jr. are leading aspirants for appointment to the Supreme Court, the next vacancy opening up on Oct. 30 with the retirement of Justice Cancio Garcia.

    Will GMA throw all caution to the winds again and promote one of them as a reward for their decision to convict Erap and legitimizing her take-over on Jan. 30, 2001? Will Villaruz or Diosdado Peralta be promoted to be presiding justice of the Sandiganbayan?

    No one will be surprised because by her victory over Erap in the Sandiganbayan, once again she has demonstrated she does give a hoot over public opinion. Amb. Maceda, Tribune

    Marcos may have done it in 20 years. But Glueria have done the worst in a much shorter time.

  159. I think the promotion will go to Justice de Castro, not really because she was a classmate of Gordon (who said, “kaklase ko yan kaya magaling”, hahahahah) but also because so far, she seems to be the one which is not as mabaho in the eyes of media or at least in the reports I’ve read so far.

    Gloria & her pigs have actually been asking around as to what the reactions of the anti-Gloria will be. They find the silence deafening – come to think of it, it is an uneasy kind of silence.. Anyway, The anti-Gloria groups are not naive anymore to wear their emotions on their sleeves, much less advertise the so-called Plan. Timing is crucial. A war can only be won decisively.

    As the eye of the storm approaches, it is all so calm. We do not have a weather bureau to gauge the size of the storm but we can only rely on the surveys conducted recently that Erap enjoys 70% of the popularity and the tiyanak at 18%.

    In my prior posts, I said, it will be foolish for Erap’s supporters to manifest their dismay on the streets lined up by armed men ready to follow orders from the cheat of staff asspweron who only has one person to protect -the tiyanak. The people are a lot wiser now. If there would have been chaos on the streets, the tiyanak would have all the reason to declare a “martial law” tiyanak style, armed with her new anti-terror law.

    With the litany of sins she has so far done, witnessed and documented so far unlike those of Chavit’s allegations that were mostly hearsays( coming from a criminal, I would not believe a thing he says), it is sweeter to see her sweat when all her alipores will be grilled one by one. This is a silent protest and it may be more effective this time around instead of violence on the streets. Although I am not opposed to the idea of a million bodies in front of Malacanang. Asspweron has mastered the art of barricading. See what he has done so far to Malacanang? With all those big vans around it, it does not look like a presidents home. It looks more like a prison to me. All areas where the rallyists usually come from have check points and soldiers watching over them.

    The fight now is not on the streets but on a higher level, the Senate and the Supreme Court. If the EO 464 and the 108 are lifted or at least refined, the people will know more about the anomalies this illegitimate president have so far done.

  167. chi chi

    PSB,

    It’s so true, “people are a lot wiser now”. Hindi sila basta magpapabaril sa walang konsiensyang Asspweron!

    Ano baliw?! No dignity dying in the hands of Asspweron! Let’s make sure our sanity and physcial bodies are intact so they won’t have a chance to declare martial law. Gigisahin natin sila sa sarili nilang mantika to our enjoyment.

  168. parasabayan parasabayan

    Anna, Chi, I wish and pray that the “men of honor” will be out of their detention ,but a escape? I do not think so! With Mesa, the layers of guards for these men tripled. Asspweron has one set, Mesa has another set and so on and so forth. Each of the tiyanak’s higher military staff have their own set of guards. They really do not rust each other dahil naisahan sila ni Ping Lacson one day! Ang pagasa na lang natin ay yung mga tunay na “patriots” who will soon assume positions in higher military ranks na pwedeng gumawa ng “Angie Reyes” coup. Kaya lang, mukhang magaling itong si tiyanak at asspweron pumili ng pinopromote nila, puro patabaing baboy ang ipinipwesto at yung mga may dangal na opisyal ay nasa ibaba pa rin. Tiyanak’s and asspweron’s yardstick for promotion is more of “handa ka bang magpakamatay at pumatay, magnakaw, magsinungaling para kay Arroyo?” and if the aswer is yes, one gets a double promotion. Look at what happened to asspweron? Before he was even installed as the cheat of staff, he was already sporting two more stars on his uniform! All because he cheated big for the tiyanak in the 2004 elections and he put the “men of honor” in detention. Never mind if the AFP is demoralized. He does not care!!! So if I were these “patriots”, wear your masks so you can also play the game of the generals. Be wise. Our prayers are with you!

Halos lahat ng kasundaluhan at kapulisan inubos na ni Espweron para bantayan ang mga tao…tsk,tsk,tsk…sinong niluko nila? Tama lang, silence at pag medyo relaks na ang panahon…lintik lang ang walang ganti!

    Sige, Noy Apostol…”yours today…laugh …drink…for tomorrow is still …yours?”

    Kwidaw sila, merong maliliit na vigil groups sa mga urban poor areas. Sa Pasay, nandoon sa Tramo, papasok ng Maricaban. Kaya pala ibinalik na yung mga barikadang tinanggal kahapon. Ninenerbiyos na naman.

    Magparty lang kayo!

    Dalawang gabi nang naglalamay ang mga ito. Para mabilis ang responde? Meron din sa Makati, Kalookan, Manila, Muntinlupa, San Juan, Quezon City, Navotas, Valenzuela, etc. Masama lang, natunugan na pala ng mga alat, sabi ng kuya ko. Maya-maya ba naman i-report sa radio e.

    Binay said going to the streets is still an option although he added that whatever mobilization is done would be peaceful and orderly. ?We can go back to the streets as an option and definitely there will be protest actions, Binay said.
    He added that despite the ‘reduced’ number of rallyists who took to the streets on Wednesday when the anti-graft court handed its decision, it does not mean that the former leader has lost the support of the people. As reported in the Daily Tribune today.

    Many comments here abut the calm before the storm.

    According to the surveys, if the AFP decide to shoot demonstrators on the streets, to stop these demonstrators they would need to shoot 70% of the population!

    Remember – it will get worse before it gets better – we have to be prepared to suffer some more, we are suffering already or do we believe she will change or resign – I don’t think so.

  176. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    These administration Senators are still jumping to the defense of their evil boss – I seem to remember that Godon had a survey of 3% of people who would support him for the Presidency in 2010 – hahaha the people have already spoken and he questions the credibility of Doble, amazing.

    So, Erap was convicted by the Arroyo Court and what has it changed – Nothing, absolutely Nothing!
    Does the Lying, Stealing, Killings stop, not at all – it will get worse befor it gets better – unless she is stopped and the people are the one’s that can stop her – forget the military, they are lost souls, a spent force who get slaughtered by a few ragtag rebels and continue to allow their Generals to send them to their slaughter.

  179. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    The Congress and the Higher Courts are a lost cause they have lost their souls also, so what makes you think that they will change and do something that they have ignored for the past six years – surveys tell you that 70% of the population have had enough of this evil administration so let the 70% of the population correct the problem, put a leader in front of them, any leader and 70% of the population will support them.

  180. Kung ready na kayo, just holler. Handa na rin kami dito. Kahit malayo kami, malakas pa rin ang dating ng tsunami laban kay Pandakitak. You bet!

    Come to think of it (hindi kam tu tin mo pwit!) guys, the “masa” is really keeping them guessing! Amazing how the “overeducated” elite can’t even predict the moves of the “unwashed” and the “toothless”. They didn’t expect such a rout in the May polls, pati tayo, we underestimated what they were capable of, right?

    Hey, this is what is very, very dangerous to the squatters in Malacañang. They won’t give no quarters, I’m sure. They might lead this fight for a change and we will be their followers, isn’t that great! Who says Pinoy masa are bobo? I’m told community leaders are going house-to-house in urban poor communities, explaining the verdict to households and how that verdict will affect their lives. We’ve got to hand it to them, really. The mini-vigils will soon snowball into one very potent force of angry, suicidal, emotionally-wrecked lot as we saw in EDSA3.

    Let’s see them evict the squatters in the snake pit by the river, oh yes, Bilibid will be the relocation site – a dose of their own poison! I’m watching the stock market, if it slides today, they got wind of the heat buildup in the slums.

    You’ll be changing your nick soon, WWNL!

    TT:
    You remembered; I will change my handle but my thoughts as to what it should be constantly change – at the moment the handle ‘SOS’ is the best I can think of – smile.

  183. Tongue, thanks for your the-verdict-after account.

    I was so angry, I couldn’t write. Look at my “letting steam out” column for what I did instead.

    Tongue, I’ll transfer you account to that title.

  184. Ellen,

    Bakit ka galit na galit? Because of the verdict?

  185. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Me, I vented my disgust on the keyboard, didn’t finish anything yet though. I wsa able to send two short senseless comments yesterday, that’s it. Felt lame and dumb the whole day yesterday, I was out after 2 tagays of Ginebra Wednesday and didn’t even want to visit the blog.

    Pero iba ngayon, mas maganda yatang magmiron muna tayo. Pinadalhan ko kanina ng pandesal at pansit na galing sa Winston Motel yung nagiipon sa may Maricaban. Masaya sila.

  186. Erap vindicated, you bet! Alam naman ng lahat na hindi tunay ang nagbigay ng judgment kay Erap for in the first place, hindi naman nila napatunayan ang plunder charge against him. Iyon namang perang sinabing kinuha niya galing kay Chavit na alam naman ng lahat na bina-bribe lang si Erap para hindi niya i-ban ang jueteng!

    O di ba ang bintang nila kay Erap, ang laki ng tiba niya sa jueteng tapos si unano may interest ang pala doon, meaning, gusto niya siya rin ang tumiba doon. At hindi lang jueteng kundi lahat ng uri ng sugal. Sabi nga ni Pacquiao sa kaniya ipapahawak iyong Filipino version daw ng Lotto palit sa jueteng. Kita mo naman ang dikit ni Singson doon sa pinaka -mastermind! Magkasama pirmi sa laban ni Pacquiao at balita ko sa kaibigan kong boxing promoter, ang laki ng bet ng mga ungas doon kaya chicken feed ang bayad doon sa mga lintang ginagamit nila sa pandaraya noong reyna engkangtada.

    Sa totoo lang nakakasawa na. Di pa ba puedeng hilahing palabas ng Malacanang ang mga ungas na hilahila sa buhok at yagbols ang mga ungas? Please, pakibilisan naman!

    From Taga de cebu,
    “My nominees for the Presidential Rogues Gallery:
    1)Ferdinand Marcos(died in exile)
    2)Joseph Estrada(convicted)
    any other suggestions???”

    3)Gloria Arroyo(the Fake President, Burned in Hell)

  188. luzviminda luzviminda

    Tongue,

    Ang linaw ng kwento mo ah, parang andun ako sa scene. Di bale may ibang pagkakataon pa naman. Siguro God is planning something much better para eventful talaga. I believe that the sacrifices of Erap Estrada and a lot of truth & freedom loving Pinoys will not go in vain.

  189. Anna, yes. I was angry at the verdict. The injustice that the bigger crook is getting away with it.

    But it was a level of anger that, as Tongue said, you feel “lame and dumb.”

    That’s why rather than stay at home and watch TV, after I filed my column, I decided to go to Greenbelt. Pinagkaabalahan ko ang bidet sa Greenbelt. (See my column on letting steam out)

  190. Anna, what the SC issued on ZTE was just a TRO.

    GMA is panicking here. How does she save Abalos who made possible her illegitimate presidency.

  191. From Paul John Soriano:

    “Naniniwala po ako na talagang talamak at makapal ang mukha ng nakaupo ngayon sa malacanang. wala pong pakiramdam sa mga mamayan na pilipino.

    “Kami po dito sa dubai ay nakakaranas din po ng ganyang pamamalakad sa kadahilanan na wala rin pakiramdam ang embahada natin dito. sana ay magising po ang sambayanan pilipino sa mga dinadanas natin. Wala na talagang natitirang kahihiyan si gloria at ang kanyang mga tuta.

    “Ngunit naisip ko, may parte rin si juan dela cruz sa mga nangyayari sa kadahilanan ay hinahayaan lang natin na makalagpas ang mga ganitong bagay. mainit sandali pagkatapos ay lalamig din.”

  192. cg_pinas cg_pinas

    Ngayun very obvious ang hatol kay President Joseph Estrada. Nakapila pala bilang bagong hukom ng Supreme Court (SC) ang dalawa sa tatlong justices ng Sandiganbayan na humatol ng guilty kay dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada sa kasong plunder.
    Kung hindi nila hatulan ng GUILTY si Pangulong Estrada, hindi sila e nominate bilang bagong Supreme Court (SC). Ito ang binigay na task sa kanila ni Piking pandak na ARROYO. Sana ma impeach din yan si piking president ARROYO para maranasan nya ang naranasan ni President ERRAP.

  193. cg_pinas cg_pinas

    WAG NATING PALAMPASIN NA HINDI MAHATULAN si pandak(fake president) mas malupit pa ang ginawa nyang pangurakot sa ating bayan dahil alam niya anung secret para hindi mahuli at walang ibidinsya pero mga tuta nya talamak na at lantaran na ang mga ginawang kabalbalan sa ating bayan. Dapat silang sunogin para malinis na ang pilipinas…

  194. chi chi

    Tongue,

    Maganda ang analysis mo re ‘overeducated’ elite na naiisahan ngayon ng masa.

    Sabi ko nga ay sino bang matinong pinoy ang nais magpabaril kay Asspweron noong D-Day. Hindi iyon ang araw ng aksyon, iba ang laban ngayon.

  195. chi chi

    Ellen,

    Basa ko ang naramdaman mo ng aking mabasa ang bidet. Salamat sa kwento mo at medyo humupa ang mura ko privately. Natawa nga ako, cute ang bidet article mo.

  196. Ellen,

    “How does she save Abalos who made possible her illegitimate presidency.”

    She can’t unless she enforces the deal.

    If she keeps digging a bigger hole for herself, so be it. Am pretty sure if she rams this deal into the throats of the angry Pinoys,she might end up falling into that hole she’s digging for herself today with Abalos in it.

  197. Ellen,

    Ako din, medyo I felt a bit lame after the verdict but at the same time, I told myself, ok, that’s done, now we can use that to focus on getting Gloria out.

  198. BOB BOB

    Ystakei, agree ! iyang si Chavit, subukan niyong may mang hostage ulit ng bus na puno nang bata..Tignan niyo lang kung papapel pa yang hinayupak na si Chavit…Dasal ko lang na sana pag katabi niya ang mga Bengal Tiger niya, sana bigla na lang siyang sakmalin sa ulo..Hayup kang chavit ka !

  199. chi chi

    Baka bumilib pa ako sa Black and White, Bayan, Pluder Watch at kung anu-ano pang grupo kung si Chavit ay pagtuunan nila ng demanda. If not, tumigil na lang sila!

    Walang hustisya sa Pinas habang ang mga taong tulad ni Chavit, Gloria at Mike Pidal ay nasa labas at nagpa-party sa ‘suhol’ na panalo! Bwisit!

    regarding the absence of protest after erap’s conviction, i don’t think the outraged people are already tired of doing so. they’re far wiser now and keep their cards close to their chests. result: GMA and her ilk are in a guessing game, worried to death kung ano ang next move ng mga against sa kanya. it’s more like of a psy-war game which goes to show that the “masa” is wiser and more matured now than they were during EDSA 3. i salute erap’s magnanimity and calm in accepting the “verdict”. once again, he has exhibited dignity in the face of adversity. but let us not be so disheartened folks. hope is like a phoenix that rise from the ashes to live and soar again. let’s just hope that justice or injustice as one sees it, returns full circle to mete righteous verdict to those who deserve it more. up to now, di pa sigurado si GMA kung kelan sasabog ang bulkan ng outrage against her corrupt regime.
