Mukhang walang financial crisis sa Malacañang.
Hindi lang pala sa mga kongresista na bumuto para patayin ang pang-apat na impeachment at susulong sa charter change sagana ang Pasko ngayon. Sa media rin pala.
Inireport kasi ng Mindanews noong Biyernes na nang pumunta si Gloria Arroyo at si Press Secretary Jesus Dureza sa Saranggani namigay siya ng mga regalo sa mga reporter.
Nagbigay raw ng Christmas party sina Arroyo at Dureza para sa media sa Isla Parilla, isang mamahaling resort ng mayamang negosyante sa Saranggani..Nagpa-raffle daw ng refrigerator, colored TV, video player, cellular phones at MP4 players. Namigay pa si Dureza ng KCC Mall gift certificate na tig-P1,000.
Sabi pa ni Dureza, simula lang daw yuin dahil gagawin nila yun sa buong Pilipinas.
Sinabi ng Mindanews na pagkatapos mamudmud ng malalaking regalo si Arroyo sa media, lumipat siya sa gynnasium kung saan naghihintay ang libo-libong dukha sa supot na may lamang bigas, sardinas at noodles.
Sabi ng Mindanews, tinatawag raw ni Olivia Sudaria, regional director of the Philippine Information Agency, ang mga pangalan ng mga reporter, tapos binibigay ni Dureza ang gift certificate.
Para pa lang graduation ceremony. Tatawagin ang pangalan mo, aakyat ka sa stage, tapos i-abot ang iyong diploma. Ito naman P1,000 na gift certificate. Sabi ng Mindanews, 114 daw na gift certificates ang pinamigay ni Dureza.
Mukhang cheap ang dating, di ba? Kungsabagay lang naman kay Arroyo nangyari itong pamimigay ng regalo sa mga reporter. Nang panahon ni Estrada, bumbaha rin ang regalo sa Malacañang Press Corps. Ganyan din ang nangyari na parang graduation ceremony rin sila inaabutan ng gift certificate.
Kaya lang, anong nangyari? Iyon ba ay nakatulong ng tumagilid na siya at natumba?
Sabi ni Dureza kaya raw ginawa nila ang pamimigay ng regalo para mapakita ang kanilang pagpahalaga sa mga provincial press at maituwid ang impression na mas mahalaga ang mga media sa Manila.”
Nakakalungkot na ganun kababa ang tingin ni Dureza sa media dahil dati rin siyang miyembro ng media sa Davao city. Kung gusto nilang pahalagaan ang provincial press, proteksyunan ito laban sa extra-judicial killings.
Siyempre hindi sasabihin ni Dureza na kaya kailangan nila hawak ang media dahil sa Charter Change na kanilang isusulong. Tatlong resolusyon ang nakasalang ngayon sa House of Representative tungkol sa pag-amyenda ng Constitution.
Alam naman natin na kaya pinipilit ni Arroyo ma-amyendahan ang Constitution kahit labag sa batas ang paraan na kanilang ginagawa ay upang manatili siya sa kapangyarihan lampas ng 2010. Takot siyang bumaba sa pwesto dahil marami siyang krimen na ginawa laban sa sambayanang Pilipino.
The Evil Bitch has lots of money, tax payers’ money, at her disposal to make her enemies happy until 2010. Earnings from E-Vat, funds allocated for government projects and agencies, left over from previous anomalies, contributions from criminal syndicates and dirty businessmen are all in the hands of the Palace. Money, money, money…and yes, Money Pacquiao.
The only Leaders that give out money Like the way GMA and her Executive Secretary do are the Gangsters, which if they were a little high on something will Just toss them for their beneficiaries to scramble for. They are not very dissimilar.
ayan na naman siya.. namumudmod na naman tsk tsk.. sana naman, yung mga nakatanggap, hindi pipitsugin na pag naabutan ay nawawala sa sarili at nagiging utu-uto.. sana mapanindigan pa rin nila ang responsibilidad nila sa tao bilang media.

Mass herding and payola are not new under the corrupt Arroyo regime. Bishops, business leaders, tongressmen, governors and mayors flock to stinky Palace to get their loot share. Mercenary media men are paid to chronicle Malacanang spins and propaganda.
Today being Pacman Day, the nation congregates in front of TV sets. To while away the time waiting for the Pacman rumble, click on this link (forbear with the opening ad): http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6286125
What is there to talk about when Gluerilla is the topic? – corruption, corruption a zillion times over!
Here’s a very talented singer but wasn’t good enough to the local Filipino showbiz coz she’s not that pretty, short and other condescending showbiz media remarks makes of her. Hope she has the presence of mind to remember that and she stays in North America to make her mark. Goodluck to her!
Who’s that singer? Charise Pempengco? I hope she sings new or other songs…not the same songs over and over again.
Vic,
Can she beat my friend’s aunt from Leyte who gives away $100 bills to the bellboys, etc
FYI Just to prove that all these gift-giving by the Magnanakaw is all for getting support for her bid to stay in power until she dies and even after she dies.
Buti pa nga ang mga batang musmos alam na hindi sila dapat tumanggap ng kahit na anong uri ng pabor mula sa demonya.

Subject: Photos/Text: I-knock out si Gloria rally in Mendiola
More than 300 children shouted “i-Knock-out si Gloria!” to the question “Sagot sa Karahasan ni Gloria sa Bata?” This was on the occasion of a gathering of children at Mendiola yesterday, led by the Salinlahi Alliance for Children’s Concerns.

“Sagot sa Karahasan ni Gloria sa Bata?”: “i-Knock-out si Gloria!” Mendiola rally, Nov. 6, 2008
One thing lamenting about the state of journalism in the Philippines is the fact that journalists there, except for a few, can be bought and they write articles that should not be read or believed in fact for they are just ads for their patrons, especially for those who can pay big. It’s pathetic.
I support crusading journalists like Ellen.
Sabi ng isang kakilala ko, OK lang na tumanggap ng gift certificates, at ang pagtanggap daw niya niyon ay hindi nangangahulugang susulat na siya ng maganda tungkol kay Gloria Magnanakaw. Yuck!
Sa totoo lang I don’t understand that kind of mentality. Para sa akin, wala siyang pride at delicadeza. Golly, para ka na ring tumanggap ng grasya mula kay Satanas!
Sabi nga sa Bible, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matt.16:26)
So Gloria will play Santa Claus go all over the country to give Christmas gifts to the members of the media and the people. That’s good even if it’s only for show, at least she will be sharing something which the people don’t get in the form of public service from the government. But everybody knows what’s cooking in her kitchen. The stink from her kitchen is too much and blowing all over that she has to do something to divert it or make it smell good. With all the resources at her disposal that’s no sweat. Her war room is an arsenal of Weapons of Mass Distraction and all she has to do is pick up one. And so that’s it.
Ultimately however the burden of decision and choice will be on the shoulders of all these people. If this one “nice” but deceitful and hypocritical gesture of the evil bitch will influence them and give her their support, then Filipinos will have to live to be called “mga uto-uto”.
1,000 Pesos? That’s about less than 20 Euros? Cost of a sandwich and a cup of coffee in roadside café here.
Ellen, did any of the reporters return the gift certificate?
Ellen,
Re: “Nakakalungkot na ganun kababa ang tingin ni Dureza sa media dahil dati rin siyang miyembro ng media sa Davao city.”
Sounds like proof to me that Dureza knows what makes a member of media tick, i.e., he’s been a more than willing recipient of Malacanang largesse (eeek!)
I didn’t hear of any one returning the gift certificate.
Instead of bribing the media who were there to do their job and wasting precious money from State coffers, this idiotic Gloria should have poured those gift certificates to feed the malnuorished children in the communities of Sta. Cruz Island, Sta. Catalina, Paniran Resettlement, Lower Calarian and Pitogo in Zamboanga City.
From The Mindanao Examiner:
[…] Malnutrition has become a major concern of Silsilah, a multi-dialogue movement, headed by Fr. Sebastiano D’Ambra, PIME, for the communities of Sta. Cruz Island, Sta. Catalina, Paniran Resettlement, Lower Calarian and Pitogo in Zamboanga City, according to a press release.
Urgent action had to be taken in response to the alarming increase of malnourished children in these communities. A survey was conducted to identify severely malnourished children and a special feeding program was set-up.
Seventy seven children were enlisted in the program ranging from 3 to 60 months old.Twenty kids are from Sta. Cruz Island, 14 from Sta. Catalina, nine from Paniran, 20 from Lower Calarian, and 16 from Pitogo. […]
valdemar, my sister way back when chinese were not allowed to accept cash from tourists give a very courteous tourist guide who have been guiding her and my other siblings on tour a gold necklace for his wife. and I gave enough $$ to my very pleasant taxi driver my last visit for his denturs, because he loves to smile all the time.
Ellen,
That’s why Gloria and her corrupt minions have no respect for many members of media.
Those who received the gift certificates and have not taken it upon themselves to repudiate the bribe (and the bribe giver) must not be surprised to learn that in reality, Gloria despises them because she knows she can buy them with a few miserable pesos.
Those reporters who received the gift certificates and did not return them must know that deep in their heart of hearts, there’s no such thing as a free lunch and effectively, those gift certificates were an attempt to corrupt them.
I am aghast!
A free and incorruptible press is virtually one of the last bastions of freedom in democracy in a nation. Members of the press who allow themselves to be corrupted, even symbolically, by Gloria lose the right to complain when one day, they find themselved muzzled by the same bribe giver.
Those who wilfully and gleefully allowed themselves to partake of this corruption at the Christmas party deserve the contempt of their fellow Filipinos.
Re hunger and malnuorished children:
In a country well governed poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed wealth is something to be ashamed of. — Confucius
MANNY PACQUIAO WON !
Many may not agree with me; but I earlier said it would be a fixed fight. It was Dela Hoya who gave up.
To Ellen & fellow bloggers,
Manny Pacquiao won after 8 rounds. Congrats Manny. May you have more wins to come.

off topic: ewan ko lang ha? wag nyo akong boksingin! kurutin nyo lang ako! pramis, pero medyo parang kairitang nakikita ko dun si noli de castro parang bata paakap akap pa ano yon?!
Nakakaawa naman ang madlang pipol natin, hane?
Habang gapang sa hirap ang mga dukhang aba, eto sina dorobo at duraza na namumudmod ng perang hindi kanila.
ako po ang inyong abang lingkod, si magno na gumamit ng kom pyuter ng iba.
kaya ‘yung meron sa inyong kamag-anak na puwedeng irekomenda dito sa prodyek namin, e-mail me at MRivera@almabani.com.sa, pangalan, trabaho at kontak namber. para naman mabawasan ang mga tambay at kumakalam ang sikmura na nagiging sanhi ng paggawa ng masama sa kapwa.
wala bang palakpakan diyan? bow!
Welcome back Magno under another name.
Oca was in for the money. 83 punches out of 402 and his right hand wasn’t even a factor, he knows it’s broken – what a dud! Even the inept De Castro or Chavito Luisito could have floored dela Oya. Now Oca will chummy up with Pakyaw to promote his next fight, Mayweather or Hatton.
Beware of Pinoys whose mentality is that of a crab. They tend to hamper your success or progress.
It is annoying for them to say that Manny’s fight with Oscar was fixed and it was only for money. Such accusations should be proven, otherwise its dumb.
Ellen, it’s not my other name but of the user’s who went on vacation. I sequestered his computer for a while and took over his position as the project personal, este personnel manager. Ganu’n din naman, ako ang nagtatrabaho ng trabaho niya.
Kinakalaban kasi ako ng mga ET, este IT namin dito.
Ayaw nila akong i-sign on sa internet!
By the way, since am already here, would like to inform you regarding my hingi ng tulong request thru e-mail that only the office of Mar Roxas responded by indorsing my letter to PCSO-Bataan and we are still waiting for their action. Others are still silent. Malayo pa kasi ang eleksiyon.
(Sorry, mga kabayan, pasingit singit lang kaya nilubos ko na)
Manny wins again!!! This is a great day for Filipinos, at least in one instance we put down all that divides us and be one in celebrating a victory of a fellow Filipino. Lets be happy with him and for a moment believe that “the Filipino can!”
A gem, though tarnished by corrupt hands will still shine, the Philippines, though tarnished by corrupt leaders will still shine through…
Wow congrats Manny! Now that he won, I have a strong feeling the fake president’s group will schedule a pacquiao victory parade on 12Dec. Same day as the anti-chacha protests.
I heard from people that went to MGM for the fight that chavit got booed when PacMan mentioned his name in the ring.
Remember when Pacquiao rushed to Manila briefly reportedly to talk to his wife Jinkee? His wife didn’t want him to fight Dela Hoya. Why did she agree later? Because she was assured of a Pacquiao victory meaning the fight was fixed. Boxing like other sports has long been invaded by gambling syndicates. Las Vegas is a Mafia territory. Dela Hoya comes from Chicago where Mafia is still active. If Dela Hoya was knocked down or knocked out, it would have been a little more realistic. But, he seemed to hold punches in most of the rounds. Then, why did he refuse to fight in the 9th round? Dela Hoya received $20M and Pacquiao $6M despite his defeat. It didn’t include the pay-for-view shares and other commissions from the gamblers.
What does Pacquiao’s victory mean to the Filipino people and Malacanang? Filipino are very happy because of the pride in us. Malacanang is very happy because people’s anger would at least be reduced for a few days forgetting the Fertilizer scam, impeachment’s defeat, Cha-Cha for a while. And don’t be surprised if Pacquiao’s return is on December 12 to neutralize the scheduled huge rally against Cha-Cha. All Malacanang has to do is to ask Pacquiao to delay his return and do it this Friday. If people go out to watch his victory parade, what happens to the anti-Cha Cha rally. The rallyists might join the celebration.
BBC comment on the Pacquiao win: “Pacquiao believes he can run for the presidency and he just might win..”
Ugh!
Yan ang mentality ng ibang pinoy. Imbes na ipag bunyi ang taong mag papabango ng konting imahe sa pilipinas dahil sa pag kapanalo sa larangan ng sport ay may mag aakusa agad. nakuhang tsismis at di naman napapatunayan ay kinakalat agad. Utak langgam talaga???? fixed daw???
CONGRATULATION PAC-MAN..
Pacquiao is definitely running for Congress. He may get it this time. At least, we have a boxer in Congress. Malacanang needs him there to punch whoever opposes Malacanang.
Try his luck AdeBrux…Pinas is a free country and whoever wanted to run for public office, so be it!
Public service is a personal choice and conviction except kung may vested interest o gawing gatasan ang taong-Bayan?
Sa ngayon ito ang naglalarawan sa napakababang pagtingin sa larangan ng paglilingkod sa bayan sapagka’t sinalaula ng ganid sa kapangyarihan.
Di naman lahat ng mga lingkod ng bayan e peste kundi mayroon pa rin nagmamalasakit at nagmamahal sa bayan.
Laos na si Dela Hopya. Si Ricky Hatton medyo magandang kalaban. Sinuwerte si Hatton nabawian niya si Malignaggi sa 11th round pero malaki na agad ang ulo. Kung lalabanan daw siya ni Pacquiao, dapat sa Wembly daw. Sablay pa ang hula niya na babagsak si Pacquiao bago mag-round 6. Di siya uubra kay Manny, marami siyang bisyo, tomador pa. Barkada kasi ng Gallagher bros. ng Oasis na pareho niyang sira ang ulo. Pareho pa sila ni Dela Hopyang mukhang pera. Mas gusto niyang manalo si O-scar dahil mas marami raw silang mahahatak na manonood lalo kung sa Manchester gagawin.
Commercial plug:
Nakabili ako ng shirt sa Lonsdale sa Mall of Asia kahapon may libreng poster ni Hatton pero di ko makilala yung kalaban kung si Floyd Mayweather jr., yung kaisa-isang nag-knockout sa kanya. May sale sa Lonsdale, yung mga tshirt na P1,300, P350 na lang, dali! Yun rubber shoes na P3,500 P1,000 na lang! Magaganda kasi made in London.
The only thing na impress ako kay PACMAN, he is great fighter at nagbigay siya ng karangalan sa bansa upang muling magningning sa buong mundo sa larangan ng boksing.
Hay salamat…at least medyo nabawasan ng konti ang mga pag-alipusta sa ating lahing Pinoy, na kesyo kurap o numero UNO sa kagaguhan.
Ang hirap…peste talaga ang rehimeng Arroyo sapagka’t puro kahihiyan ang pinaggagagawa sa ating bayan, ang lakas ng loob na at walang pakundangan na bumiyahe sa ibang bansa.
At hayon ang dami niyang lapdogs sa Nevada at numero uno si Nilo Kabayad, Chavitan and co.
And bagal mag-download ng page na ito. Naiipit nung picture ng topblogs.com.ph sa sidebar.
Pareho sina Dela Hoya at Hatton na tulunan ni Floyd Mayweather jr. Mas maganda kung si Mayweather ang susunod. Kaso takot yata kay Pacman kaya magreretire na lang. Last year nung matalo si Hatton. Magpapasko din noon.
Birthday ni Pacquiao sa Dec. 17. Siya pa siguro ang mamimigay ng regalo/balato sa mga imbitado. Si Chavit, sexy starlet ang ibabalot para kay Manny.
Balik sa topic. Ellen, kung aabutan ka ni Dureza ng envelope na pamasko, ano’ng gagawin mo? Curious lang, heheh.
You bet, BE, fixed fight iyan kasi iyong walang talo pang taga-Venenzuela na boxer, hindi itinapat kay Fuckyaw kahit na earlier report sabi iyon ang kaniyang kalaban. Sorry, pero hindi ko idolo si Fuckyaw kaya gusto ko siyang matalo gaya ng pagkatalo niya noong election. Anybody working for Gloria Dorobo should not be idolized in fact. Lumalaki lang ang ulo! Di bale sana kung sasabihin niyang para sa Pilipinas ang panalo niya, pero hindi e. Para pa sa presidente niyang magnanakaw pa ang laban niya. May hotline daw kasi siya sa Malacanang kaya ganadong-ganado ang unggoy na pinupuri ang diyosa niya! Yuck!
Ipaglaban mo: I heard from people that went to MGM for the fight that chavit got booed when PacMan mentioned his name in the ring.
*****
Anybody in league with the devil, kahit na nananalo, di dapat ipinagbubunyi. Para na ring pinuri ninyo ang demonyo!!!
Magno,
Miss na miss ka namin. OK lang pasingit-singit.
Iyong ginagawa ni Fuckyaw sa totoo lang hindi naman para sa bayan kundi para sa bulsa niya at yabang-yabang na kakutsaba niya iyong mga bigshot na Mafia ng Pilipinas. Ano ang ginanda niyon?
Sa Japan may sikat din dating boksingero, pero hindi tinatawag na bayani, just boxer. Kung talagang bayani si Fuckyaw, dapat iyong milyon-milyon niya ibinibigay niya sa kawanggawa kahit man lang para doon sa kapwa niya boksingero.
Sayang ang taong iyan dahil ang mga kabarkada mga hoodlum na yumaman sa pangungurakot. Yuck!
Malacanang would once again take advantage of Manny’s victory to divert people’s attention these days of opposing the Cha-Cha and the coming rallies. Chavit Singson should not only been booed but shot in Las Vegas. Instead of attending to his responsibilities as Governor of Ilocos Sur and position as National Security Adviser, he follows Pacquiao whenever he goes…before, during and after the training. What kind of a public servant is he? What a fucklick servant !
There’s no report or accounting of how much if there was Manny contributed to the people from his earnings. What has been shown by the media was his mansion in GenSan and another large house given to his sister. Don’t you notice how Manny’s mother look these days? From an ugly prompdi, she now looks like an old matrona with a new hairdo anf expensive clothes. I don’t mean to ridicule or insult Manny’s family members; but I still have to see where he donates some of his earnings? What I know is that Manny spends much of his earnings on cockfighting and casinos.
Crab mentality? You don’t agree that Jueteng has always been fixed?? Prove also it was a straight fight. Oca sucked up his Mexican Pride for 20million or so and a bruised face. Why not? He’s already washed out. Big dollars were involved here!
Nakinig ulit ang Diyos ke Aling Dionisia. During all Manny’s loses God was aslept but during his victories God intensely listened to Aling Dionisia’s prayers. Way to go!
Manny’s wife Jinkee’s fear and mother’s prayer were all fake. They knew the outcome.
napag-uusapan na rin lang sina pakwan at dina hopya, eh makisingit na rin nga.
ano ang nakuha ni pakwan sa panalo niya kay dina hopya? meron bang koronang nakataya? panalunan ba si hopya o matagal nang talunan nang labanan ni pakwan?
mga kabaranggay, ang singko ay hindi maaaring ibili ng kayang bilhin ng piso.
kung napuna ninyo, PIGIL ang mga suntok ni dina hopya kumpara sa todong bitiw ng suntok at bigwas ni pakwan.
BENTA ang laban!
PERA ang usapan!
PANALO si pakwan sa non-title na walang kuwentang laban!
PANALO si dina hopya ng MILYON MILYONG DOLYAR sa konting drama sa bugbugan!
TALO ang manonood na umasa ng magandang laban ng LAOS na si dina hopya at SIKAT na pakwan!
MAS PANALO ang mga hidhid sa malakanyang!
Tongue: I will venture a guess kung ano ang gagawin ni Ellen kung sakali (KUNG SAKALI..bibigyan siya ni Dureza tho most unlikely that bibigyan siya)..Ellen will donate it to her favorite charity..para sa PGH cancer patients…
rose,
Ellen will most likely decline or not accept it as a reflex response (without batting an eyelash), but if she asks me the moment its offered to her, I’d force her to take it or better yet take it for her and give it to her favorite charity…then again, she’ll probably never forgive me.
Jug: tama ka..she will decline it…but she is so polite ayaw niyang mang insulto..and this is a case of a gift in the spirit of Christmas..alam ko na kung bibigyan siya ng “gift” for no reason at all..mas lalo siyang magagalit..and I am pretty sure..iiwasan niya ang pagkakataon na magdalo sa mga ganyan na occasion…
re kay Pacquiao..in terms of money mas malaki ang nakuha ng kalaban niya? bakit ganyan?
It was an agreed guarantee prize whoever wins. So you see, Dela Hoya still received his prize despite the defeat. That’s why it gives suspicion to some that he gave away the fight.
BE: at ang sabi ay mahusay siya? kawawang nilalang at kawawa ang QC kung manalo siya sa election. in terms of pesos malaki nga ang halaga..pero saan naman ang dignidad niya? mayroon ba siya noon?
jug: gift certificates pala ang pinabigay..at $1,000 lang pala..kulang pa na ipamasahe pauwi sa Antique..insulto naman sa mga media na tumanggap at walang nagsauli?..gift certificates of what store?
sino kaya sa mga piloto sa atin will have the guts to hijack Mike Arroyo sa San Francisco? sino kaya..
at bakit si Fatso lang? may immunity pa ang asawa niya at ang mga anak niya? o siya lang ang may sala!
