Thanks, Secretary Lacierda for this statement: “Campaigning is campaigning. There were words that were exchanged during that time but we move on for the sake of the country.”
At least now, we know how to take your words, the words of President Aquino and all politicians in the coming campaign for the May 2013 elections.
Many of us were not wise enough to have taken your and your partymates’ words seriously in the 2010 elections. That’s a valuable lesson learned.
Lacierda made the above statement when asked about the inclusion of Cynthia Villar, wife of Senator Manny Villar, in the administration 2013 senatorial ticket.
The inclusion of Cynthia Villar in the admin ticket is a result of the coalition with the Nacionalista Party for the 201s elections. Aside from Villar, the two other NP representatives in the still to be named admin ticket are re-electionists Alan Peter Cayetano and Antonio Trillanes IV.
It must be recalled that during the 2010 presidential campaign, the most vicious battle was between Aquino and Villar (who ended up third, behind former President Joseph Estrada).
Aquino’s “Tuwid na Daan” slogan made a dig with the C-5 issue, with a lot of help from Sen. Jamby Madriga.But what really did Villar in was the Villaroyo tag that Aquino’s propagandists effectively pinned on Villar.
After the election, nothing came out of those issues. Not only was the alleged irregularities of the C-5 project forgotten, it has in fact been pursued by the Aquino administration under its Public-Private Partnership program.
Villaroyo? Has that ever been raised after the election?
Lacierda said “Senator Villar has been supportive—correct me if I’m wrong—of some of the admin measures in the Senate…You’re looking at the Nacionalista Party and who will be there. You’re looking at Alan Cayetano who stood for good governance… Party principles transcend individual differences.”
Ganun naman pala e.
We share the disappointment of many of the absence of Quezon Rep. Erin Tañada in the admin senatorial slate.
Sure, Tañada was not doing well in the surveys but is survey to be-all and end-all of politics?
Anyway, here’s the administration senatorial slate: Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Sen. Francis Escudero, Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara, Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, Risa Hontiveros, Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Jamby Madrigal, Mary Grace Poe Llamanzares, Sen. Loren Legarda, Rep. Cynthia Villar and Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III.
The United Nationalist Alliance has only eight candidates with the withdrawal of Joey de Venecia, son of former House Speaker Jose de Venecia, who exposed the anomalous NBN/ZTE deal that incloved Gloria and Mike Arroyo.
The UNA slate includes Cagayan Rep. Jack Enrile, San Juan Rep. JV Ejercito, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Margarita “Ting-ting” Cojuangco, Ernesto Maceda, Richard Gordon, reelectionist Sen. Gregorio Honasan and Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay.
Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño, who will be filing today his certificate of candidacy, will run for senator as an independent candidate.
The beautiful thing about democracy is that everybody is free to dream and run for an elective position. I even see it as an occasion for a redistribution of wealth.
The people are also free to choose who to vote. I just hope that the people vote wisely.
Vote wise na lang. Nakakainis lang ang politika dito sa Pilipinas. Noong nakaraang eleksyon ay magkalaban. Tapos ngayon ay magkakampi. Anong klase. Parang pinaglalaruan lang ang mga tao sa Pilipinas ng mga politiko. Ganun ang kalakaran. Kampi at bati para sa hangarin sa politika.
Korek ka dyan, Arvin. Pinaglalaruan lang talaga ang mga tao.
Daming balimbing na politiko sa Pilipinas.

Sa oras ng pangampanya diyan makikita ang mga politiko na nakikihalubilo sa mga tao. Samantala kapag hindi panahon ng kampanya ay mahirap sa kanila na lingunin. Makikipagkamay ang mga politiko na ilan sa mga tao pero sa isip nila ay kadiri. Ang mga pinoy naman pumapayag naman na ganunin. Hinahangad ko na magkaroon ng halalan na ang magiging resulta lahat ay mga bagong mukha na uupo sa puwesto. Kailan kaya iyon mangyayari.
Matitigil lang ang pagtakbo sa halalan ng mga trapo sa politika at patungkol sa politikal dynasty kung magkakaroon ng grupo na ang layunin ay patayin ang mga trapo na ayaw pang tumigil sa pagtakbo sa halalan at iyong gumagawa ng politikal dynasty. Kasi kapag may ganun ng grupo na pumapatay talaga ay titigil na sila sa politika kasi takot na mamatay at para ipaubaya na lang sa iba ang kanilang inaasam na puwesto sa politika.
Ellen, we have had a group discussion among expats last night on what is the best solution to the political delemma back home…one suggested to get rid of all the source of corruption such as the Pork, and power of the elected officials to rule over the bureaucracy, and instead give them very decent salaries and allwances, while eliminating many unnecesary postion…metro manila could use one Mayor and one council house and one Police services and one fire services..it is being done by Big Cities like NY and even Toronto which used to be 6 cities with 6 mayors…that is just one…Party system should need reforms, but I think this might need constitutional amendments…But one very important suggestion is the money spent during Election…it is above and beyond spent anywhere…can give you a very good example…nobody here in Canada is allowed to congtribute more than the Maximum of $5000 anually to the Political parties, candidate, nominations..and this has to be receipted as they are tax refundable and reductions..any thing over (this contribution is index to inflation) is a violation of the election code and is enforced by the commisioner of election and by Revenue canada…Candidate can not contribute more than the allowed limits to his own campaign and must appoint an Auditor under oath to keep records of his expenses and contributions within the guidelines..must note that all expenses are subject to rebates and refunds by revenue canada including that of the Parties..contribution are on the ongoing basis whether there is election or not..
We believe that if these initial reforms are done…there will be improvement in Governance in the Future…
Nakaka high blood lang ang mga nangyayari. Nandiyan pa ang cybercrime law. Kaya ninais ng karamihan na mapatalsik si Marcos dahil para magkaroon ng kalayaan ang mga Pilipino. Para magkaroon ng freedom of expression. Isang dahilan bakit napatalsik si Marcos ay dahil kay Ninoy at kay Cory. Kung buhay lang sina Ninoy at Cory ay ewan ko lang kung matutuwa sila sa ginawa ng kanilang anak na si Noynoy na pirmahan ang cybercrime law na may patungkol doon sa libel. Kasi sa pagpirma at pagpayag ni Noynoy na maging batas iyon ay parang balewala ang pinaglaban ng magulang niya.
Vic, hanggang pangarap lang iyang napag usapan niyo. Malabong mangyari iyan. Palagay mo ba papayag ang mga kasalukuyan na mga nasa politika sa ganyan. Samahan ang kanilang mga anak na nasa politika pa rin. Kung ano ang kalakaran sa politika ngayon ay ganun din sa hinaharap.
Asahan na ang mga pangako ng mga politiko na minsan ay napapako. Marami pa ring mga pinoy ang nagpapauto sa mga politiko. Sabagay ang perang bigay ng mga politiko sa mga botante para sila ay iboto ay malaking tulong sa mga botante. Nakakabili sila ng kung ano na malaki ang pakinabang sa buhay nila. Ang iba nga yata sa ngayon ay nag uumpisa ng mangutang ng pera dahil may ibabayad naman next year dahil mabibigyan ng pera mula sa mga kandidato.
Gaganda lang ang Pilipinas. Ang mga lugar ay aasenso kung ang tao na politiko ay susundin ang sinulat nila ng nangangampanya pa.

“Campaigning is campaigning. There were words that were exchanged during that time but we move on for the sake of the country.”
Har! Har! Har!
Asar at suka, sabi nga ni dan1067. Sa akin may kasamang tawa.
Except for two, wala lahat IT kandidato ng both parties.
Anyway, here’s the administration senatorial slate: Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Sen. Francis Escudero, Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara, Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, Risa Hontiveros, Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Jamby Madrigal, Mary Grace Poe Llamanzares, Sen. Loren Legarda, Rep. Cynthia Villar and Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III.

ito gusto kong iboto: Angara, Escudero, Cayetano, Hontiveros, Magsaysay, Madrigal, Legarda, Pimentel, Maceda, Gordon
10 for now.two undecided.
Yucks, kadiri. Wala akong pwedeng iboto sa mga kasapi ng magkabilang partido. Iisang pangalan lang ang isusulat ko sa balota pero di ko pa alam kung sino. Ang hirap ng multiple choice. Olats! Grrrr!
Sabi nga nila TIME can HEAL! Lalo na pag “interes” ang pinag-uusapan ay puwede palang maghalo ang langis at tubig o balat sa tinalupan. Ang tinutukoy ko’y ang mga pulitikong mga mortal na magkakaaway pero hindi na muna ngayon. Makikita natin sila sa hinaharap sa mga kampanya na magkakasama na parang walang anumang nangyari. Tularan nila si Koko Pimentel hindi masikmura si Migz Zubiri. O ayan nasusuka na naman ako….
Campaigning is one of the most important part of the political process. This is the only time where the voters can personally confront the Candidates and measure them up against one another and also can task them on some issue that concern the voters. This is also the time where candidates and Parties will lay down before the voters their plans during the Mandate to which they will be carefully be accounted to keep them within reason. Or the politicians can not use the Libel and Slander defense once they failed if the Media and the public will Feast on them. Just go back to their campaign promises.
One common denominator, “PERSONAL INTEREST”!
Hacked yata itong blog mo, Ellen. Topsy-turvey ang porma.
re #18
hehe… may kaugnayan ba ito sa cybercrime?
ang tanong ay: which senatorial candidate outside both major parties can crack the top 12 in the 2013 elections?
May kapalit na ang umatras na si Joey De Venecia. Si Abby Binay tatakbong Senator ng UNA.
Kapal!
Political dynasty written all over this elections. Pakapalan na lang ng apog.
re #21
Tongue not Abby but his eldest ma. Lourdes “Nancy”.
Ganon? Kaya pala iba mukha. Mas hawig ito sa katulong namin kesa yung isa.
Ano ba ang ngawa natin ngayon? Para naman kayong bago sa politika dito sa atin. Ganyan na yan ever since. Walang pinagbago at walang ng mababago pa diyan.
Masyado ng luma yang “for the sake of the country” bs na yan. Wala namang halaga yang salitang yan, kahit na sa panahon dito sa pinas. Ganyan talaga sa mahirap na bayan.
Actually, yung mga istudyante maaring pang paniwalaan dahil maasa pa ang kanilang kalooban, pero yang mga mabilis magsalita ng ganyan, di mapagkakatiwalaan di lang sa iisang dahilan.
tongue, kaya tayo naha-hacked e, hahaha!
Maganda yung katulong mo? Kasi kung pangit baka tayo madale ng cyber libel. 🙂
my opinion about cybercrime law.

Ano’ng maganda? Hindi sa minamaliit ko mga Ita. Pero maniwala ka, mukhang Ita. At kahawig talaga nitong Nancy. Paano akong mala-libel kung totoo?
