Ang lumabas sa survey ng Pulse Asia na topnotcher ang mga oposisyon sa mga gusto na mga tao para senador sa susunod na eleksyon ay nagpapatunay lamang na galit na talaga ang taumbayan kay Gloria Arroyo at kasama na doon ang mga taong nakadikit sa kanya.
Ang nasa top 15 ay sina Loren Legarda, Francis Pangilinan, Ping Lacson, Manny Villar, Ralph Recto, Vicente Sotto, Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III (anak ni Sen. Nene Pimentel);
Alan Peter Cayetano, Gringo Honasan, JV Ejercito-Estrada, Imee Marcos, John Henry Osmeña, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, Loi Estrada, Joker Arroyo.
Ang pinakamataas na masasabi nating kaalyado ni Arroyo ay si Sen. Edgardo Angara na nasa no. 16, na sinundan ni Rep. Chiz Escudero na nasa no. 17.
Masyadong maaga pa para magsaya ang oposisyon. Unang-una, may eleksyon ba?
Kapag manalo ang Singaw ng Bayan sa Supreme Court, patay na. Walang eleksyon na sa Mayo 2007 at tuloy-tuloy na ang ligaya ni Arroyo at ng mga kampon.
Nababahala ako sa mga pangalan na nasa top 15 kasi, marami diyan ay hindi naman talaga totoong oposisyon. Marami diyan ay oportunista na kunyari lamang ay nag-oposisyon ngayon dahil alam nga nila na mabaho si Arroyo. Ngunit hindi yan sila mag-aatubiling dumikit ulit kay Arroyo kung makakabuti sa kanilang personal na interes.
Katulad na lamang kay Pangilinan, na kaya lang naman naging senador dahil asawa ni Sharon Cuneta.
Hanggang ngayon hindi pa humihingi ng tawad si Pangilinan sa taumbayan sa kanyang ginawang pagkuntsaba kay Arroyo noong congressional canvassing ng 2004 elections.
Ang lahat na lumabas sa Hello Garci tapes at sa mga pahayag ng iba’t-iba pang mga witnesses ay nagpapatotoo sa mga protesta ng oposisyon katulad ni sen. Tessie Aquino-Oreta, Sen. Serge Osmeña, Sen. Aquilino Pimentel at Rep. Digs Dilanggalen na garapal na dayaan sa Mindanao noong congressional canvassing.
Anong ginawa ni Pangilinan noon? Di ba “Noted” na “Noted” sila dalawa ni Raul Gonzales na ngayon ay justice secretary na? Kung nabuksan noon ang mga ballot boxes at pinayagan ang oposisyon mag-presenta ng mga ebidensya, dapat hindi naproklama si Arroyo.
Kaya malaki ang papel ni Pangilinan sa pandaraya ni Arroyo at sa kaguluhan ngayon sa bayan. Ngayon, sumasali siya sa oposisyon dahil sa kanyang pagsama sa Drilon wing ng Liberal Party?
Kailan ba talaga yan nag-oposisyon kay Arroyo? Kung suriin ang mga pahayag ni Pangilinan hanggang ngayon, malapit pa rin yan kay Arroyo.
Hanggang hindi siya humingi ng patawad sa taumbayan sa kanyang ginawang “Noted”, dapat kasama yan si Pangilinan kay Arroyo.
Ellen:
I second the motion sa lahat ng sinabi mob tungkol kay Kiko. Isa pa kabalen iyan na sarado kasi si Sharon Cuneta kabalen din.
Iyong ngang Alma Mater niya pinababayaan niya dahil ayaw niyang mawala siguro iyong lagay na ipinamumudmod ni Pandak sa mga katulad niya. Mas gusto ko naman si RuffyB kesa kay Kiko. We met him in Tokyo noong 2004 bago mag-eleksyon para pag-usapan ang tulong na dapat na ibigay niya sa UP na ang mga properties ay kinakamkam ni Pandak, at apparent neglect sa state university, pero wala kaming nakikitang resulta o magbigay man lang ng update.
You bet, he should be held legally responsible too for the cheating in the 2004 election canvassing when the right time comes. Lahat dapat ikulong na co-conspirators sa dayaang ginawa. Dapat makaganti ang mga taumbayan sa ginawang pangloloko sa kanila.
Godspeed to you Ellen. May God bless and preserve you!
Oops, this should read: I second the motion sa lahat ng sinabi MO tungkol kay Kiko.
Sen. Francis Pangilinan has lots of explanation to do in his role in railroading Gloria Arroyo’s presidential proclamation. I remember his arrogant and bias handling of minority’s objections in canvassing of the votes by the joint congressional committee at the House of Representatives. The minority had not given a chance to present their electoral fraud evidence. All objections were then just NOTED. The legitimacy of the final election resulted doubt in the eyes of many Filipinos. Kumita ba si Mr. Noted Sharon Pangilinan? Majority of the Filipino people believes Gloria Arroyo, election official operators and the military manipulated election results in favor of Gloria Arroyo. I suspect Sen. Francis Pangilinan is a Malacanang Palace spy in the opposition. He is a Trojan horse and cannot be trusted. He owes a public apology to FPJ’s widow Susan Roces and the Filipino people for his direct participation in robbing their civil right to vote.
Delikado si Gloria Enkantada kapag hawak ng mga opposisyon ang kamara at senado. Talsik sigurado. Baka wala nang SONA 2007 kagaya ng Mexico. Bayan ko kunting ti-is na lang.
Kung si Cong. Ruffy Biazon inabot ng batikos dito sa blog, mas lalo dapat itong si Kiko Cuneta. Siya at si Raul Gonzalez ang dahilan kung bakit naharang at pinatay ang unang impeachment noon isang taon. Nabali sa kapupukpok ang gavel at puro NOTED sa lahat na hiling ng opposition. Tapos ngayon sasabihin niyang opposition siya? Kilala ding makunat iyan. Ayaw maglabas ng pera para tulungan ang mga humihingi ng tulong. Sa isang birthday niya, nagpakain lang siya ng mais. Kaya tinawag siyang Senator Korniks. Kaya agad siyang nagpakasal kay Sharon para sa kandidato niya noon. Siya din ang nag-aalaga ng mga bata sa bahay at madalas dinadala pa ang mga bata sa Senado at doon binabantayan. Senador na, yaya pa. At oo nga ano…Kapampangan din!
Ano ba kayo? Paghingi lang ba ng paumanhin o patawad at pag-explain ni Pangilinan ang gusto ninyo. I AM SORRY lang tapos na? Reconciled na? Hindi puede iyan! Mababaw iyan. He is one of the insrumentalities why Glue is in Malacanan Palace. Managot siya. Kung patatawarin ninyo siya, eh, patawarin na natin lahat, pati na ang mga kriminal at iyong mother of all I AM SORRY. Kaya ninyo?
Tama! Anong sorry? Anong patawad? Dapat ibasura si Kiko sa susunod na halalan !
Unprincipled, go where the wind blows, I found this to be the common traits of most politicians. And it’s contagious. Pretty soon, we can hardly find a single one of them worth the trust. And we are always the victims.
Yung cook namin, kapag lasing na…mag-i-Ingles at pagagalitan yung ibang kasambahay: “If you are there, you are there…If you are heree, you are here…”
meaning, kapag nasa kabilang bahay ka, kampi ka doon; kapag nandito ka, eto at panay pintas mo sa kabila….
BALIBING ang labas!
Itong si noted cuneta, na sumakay sa popularidad ni sharon para magkapuwesto; kundi ba naman, eh pakakasalan ba naman si shacunets? Vested interest ang TONGressman na yan; Isa pa walang balls yan! kita mo nga at andres ang walanghiya. Walang K kung baga….
Teka, ano ba ang nagawa nyan sa senado maliban sa magpukpok ng gavel at magsabi ng ‘noted!’ ha? Sige nga at pakisabi….Isa rin yan sa nagpapainit ng puwet sa silya kapag may session. Kung baga dekorasyon!
Mali! SenaTONG pala! Nagkamali ang computer ko; hindi na-process agad! I was thinking of the Congressman in my district! pfffttt!
BALIMBING!
hanoba! ang bilis ng pindot!
pffftttt!!! ulit!
Cory by the Sea,
Kiko is a Senator. I think he is in for a reelection next year unless he agrees to a ministerial position in case the Pandak with Abueva et al succeeds in hoodwinking Filipinos to agree to a parliamentary government prior to creating a monarchy even in principle dapat una ang monarchy kesa sa parliamentary! Bobo nga kasi ambisyosa lang nga iyong magnanakaw na gustong maging Ali Boba, the Queen of the Thieves! 😛
Kasi ang plano ng mga taratando, parliamentary kuno na unicameral while in most places bicameral kahit na parliamentary gaya ng sa Japan para wala nang upper house at lower house na lang daw made up of fellow robbers and thieves!
Tangna, ang tayog talaga ng mga ambisyon. I wonder what kind of title the Pandak has promised Kiko and Abueva that this UP guys would be willing to kiss the ass of this queen of thieves, Duke, Earl or Baron? Ano ang mga iyan, sira ang ulo? Alam ko si Kiko luwa ang mata, parang tuko!
OK ang parliamentary kung magbabarilan sila para madaling maubos ang mga walanghiya. Otherwise, forget it. PATALSIKIN NA SI ALI BOBA, NOW NA!
tama taipan88, Tongressman din siya ng sharonian district.
Ito si Kiko Pangilinan ang makabagong mukha ng trapo. Makapal din naman ang mukha nya eh.
Dapat sa kanya magtatag ng sariling political party, SHARONIAN PARTY!
Sabi sa Philippine Senate website biagraphy ni Kiko:
“During the last 2004 Congressional Canvassing, Kiko displayed patience, sobriety and calm to usher a smooth canvassing process.”
pwe!
kung hindi magbabago ang trend ng politika sa bansa natin, malamang Mar Roxas at Kiko ang maglalaban sa 2010. At tuwang tuwa na naman ang mga oligarkiya dahil matatabunan na naman ang mga taong may progresibong kaisipan!
senaTONG nga pala si pangil-inan!
ang alaly ni sharon namay dala ng meyk-ap at iba pang gowns ng asawa!
ITO ang isa sa kampon na nagtatago sa saya ni glue;
kabalen din pala ang kumag?!
Kiko for president?
Patawarin!
Ang dami namang Filipinong may prinsipyo, ito pa?
Pwede ba?
Parang kaparis itong si kiko ni noli bay[ad] de castrol…
ta[N]ga basa lang ng mga speech na hinanda ng kanyang alalays…
Mula pa nuong napabalitang ikakasal yan kay sharon, i knew he is just a free rider….tama nga! may political ambitions ang tutang yan.
Feel ko, yung ballots na pinadala sa mga OAVs last 2004, walang nangyari dun…. Nag-magic ang Reyna Galema at pinagalaw ang kanyang galamay…Baka nga naibasura din yan sa Emabssys….
Kaya remember, next elelction: whoever can pay the grand manipulator of the right numbers, bibigyan din ng right numbers….
” sa kaunting halaga ng salapi, ipinagbibili ang kanilang Bayan!”
Tama po kayo, Ms. Ellen, “Hanggang ngayon hindi pa humihingi ng tawad si Pangilinan sa taumbayan sa kanyang ginawang pagkuntsaba kay Arroyo noong congressional canvassing ng 2004 elections” by constantly saying, “Noted”.
Ilang beses pala nya inulit yung Bar exam, kaya hagnang “Noted” lang sya.
Ang sabi ni nelbar na “Sabi sa Philippine Senate website biagraphy ni Kiko:
“During the last 2004 Congressional Canvassing, Kiko displayed patience, sobriety and calm to usher a smooth canvassing process.”
pwe!”
Talagang PWE! Katuwa naman ito si Kiko “Noted” Cuneta, parang nga sya si Gloria–nasa Enchanted Kingdom!
I think every sane Filipino knew that Kiko Pangilinan only became a Senator because of his wife’s influence. It was such a dismay when he sided with Arroyo and even helped her cheat during the last election. Mr. Noted is again going to used his wife to be reelcted and to be sure of his victory, he pretends to be an Opposition. Will the voters allow it this time? Siguro, kasi kakantahan lang sila ni Sharon at ngitian ng pagkatamis-tamis, paniwala naman sila kaagad! Pero ano ba talaga ang nagawa niya sa taong-bayan? To be quiet and act like a deaf and dumb senator amidst all the accusations against Arroyo? Sorry, but there should be a proof …and a complete change of heart! Magawa naman kaya? Mga Kababayan, better watch out!
kapag yang si pangilinan ay tumakbong presidente sa susunod na eleksyon, kahit si andrew e. ang kalaban nya kay andrew e. ako boboto. nakasawa na ang mga mekeni mekotong na ‘yan.
may isisilang pa kayang magiging matinong presidente sa pinas?
Salmond issues challenge to Blair
SNP leader Alex Salmond has challenged the prime minister to a debate about the future of Scotland.
It follows attacks on the Nationalists from Tony Blair in Edinburgh on Friday.
Mr Blair said he wanted to go “head to head” with the SNP on independence and the future of Scotland in the run up to the 2007 Holyrood elections.
Mr Salmond said: “If Mr Blair wants a head to head debate then I am more than happy to have one.” He called on Mr Blair to name the time and place.
“Then we can give the people of Scotland an opportunity to see exactly why the SNP is the only party that puts the interests of Scotland first,” he said.

Marami dyan. What’s important is that the elections must be clean and honest.
Sinabi ko, hanggang hindi siya ng sorry sa taumbayan, tingin ko sa kanya, kasabwat pa rin siya ni Arroyo.
Hindi ko sinabing bobotohin ko siya.
Kiko Pangilinan is one of the Pandak’s machinery during the May 2004 national election. If it’s not for his infamous “NOTED” remarks, the whole nation is not in this quandry.
Good for his co-conspirator, Raul Gonzales, he was able to get a juicer job. Siya iyong matandang madalas magpapungay-pungay ng mata kapag ini-interview. Palagi namang sablay ang mga comments, pati iyong career ni Kris Aquino pinatulan.
Kaya nag-iingay ngayon iyang si Kiko Pangilinan ay upang mapuna ng mga botante pero hindi makakalimutan ang kanyang pangmamani-obra upang mapadali ang deklarasyon ni Pandak na maging “Pangulo”.
Tatandaan ng mga Pilipino iyan!
Cory by the Sea:
Ang overall in charge sa election sa Japan ay kabalen ni Pandak. When I questioned the discrepancies sa tally ng mga votes ay hindi ako sinagot ng tama. Sinabi pinadala na daw ang mga boto sa Manila kaya hindi na nila ma-check. Not being Filipino by nationality I could not insist further. I posted the complaint in an egroup supposedly for the OAV in Japan, pero iyong moderator doon sipsip, kaya ayaw mag-protest dahil ayaw mapagalitan ng mga sipsip sa embassy. Sabi ko na lang, anyway, it does not have any effect on me or any members of my immediate family, even my family in the USA. Nakakabuwisit lang na marinig ang mga injustice na nangyari especially kay FPJ who proved in fact that election should not be too costly!
I heard a lot about the reception given to the opposition in majority of the cities they went to except in the stalwarts of the Pandak and the Fatso that were in fact not many. Sobra lang ang matapobre ng mga pilipino who were actually influenced by highly paid publicity that the actor was “bobo” even when in fact he was not or he would not be able to redeem his father’s business, etc., for intelligence in fact is not something you earn in school but a gift from God as intelligence is the glory of God.
Ask Ellen her impression of FPJ. If fact, it was her article on FPJ that pacified me about accepting the decision of the United Opposition to have him as their flag bearer. It is not God’s will that he did not win. That we know, but the man must have taken it to heart that when he did not win, he felt so disgusted that deep within his heart he had lost the will to live, and God spared him from further heartaches and pains. Magbabayad din ang mga walanghiya in time. Mas malakas ang dagok, I bet.
Ellen:
Baka gayahin naman ang nakakalokong “I’m sorry” ni Ali Boba, huwag na! Duraan ko pa siya.
One thing diyan kay Kiko kung tumingin pailalim. Traydor ang dating. Hindi tumitingin ng diretso. Wala akong tiwala kasi ang turo sa akin ng mga parents ko tignan mo raw ng diretso ang kausap mo and you will be able to read and see his inner soul. Naniniwala ako diyan.
Iyong asawa mayabang din. Pag walang make-up pangit din. Nang buntis ang pangit lalo kasi ang taba. Payat na ba ngayon? Kapalan lang naman ng make-up.
Sayang nga si FPJ. He could have proved that (1) elections need not be expensive, (2) everybody is equal under the law, may college diploma o wala, (3) to be a good leader is to be honest, sincere, commitment and dedication, (4) one can learn from experience (experience is a good teacher, remember?), (5) hindi puede ang palakasan.
Isa lang ang medyo alanganin ako kay FPJ, iyong philandering! Kasi adultery is a great No-No in the rule of law of the Lord above. Countries with adulterous leaders are actually not blessed by God!!!
“I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.” (Jer. 23: 14) Remember what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.
siguro kung nagpakatotoong tao yang si kiki pangilinan baka hindi nadali ang buhay ni da king. takot kasi yan na magpresidente si FPJ dahil baka umbagin siya kapag nagkamali. anyway ano ba naman ang maaasahan natin sa ganyang mga klase na mahilig makisawsaw huwag lang mawala sa puwesto. buset na yan!!! sarap upakan ng mag-asawang sipa at kagatin ang tenga!!!
artsee, help!!!!!!
Iyong mga nasa poder ngayon, puro philanderers and adulterers din!
FROM THE INQUIRER:
——————–
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appreciates her being named by Forbes Magazine as one of the world’s most powerful women.
“[She] considers [it] more an acknowledgement of the gains being made by the Filipino people on the road to political stability and economic progress,” Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said.
“The President is but an instrument of the sovereign people and any accolade extended to her is an accolade for the entire Philippines,” Bunye said.
Arroyo ranked 45th in Forbes Magazine’s list of 100 most powerful women in the world. She outranked England’s Queen Elizabeth II by a notch.
In 2005, Arroyo ranked fourth on the list.
—————
PWE, PWE, PWE AT PWE!
It has been said on several occasions that “Filipinos get the government they deserve.” Looking at it on the surface, it may sound true; however, if one where to look deeper, those words are false. I believe that Filipinos trust too easily and place their hopes on political wanna-be’s, believing that they will do as they promise, only to be let down and fooled. The “President” did that, and so did many of her minions! One of them is Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan. On the surface, he speaks well and seems to know his law, however, what’s he really all about?
On a stand alone, he wasn’t an exceptional law student, he was not amongst the top notchers in the bar exam; he wasn’t an astute lawyer either. His 1st claim to fame was marrying the “Mega Star”. His 2nd claim to fame was during the counting of ballots in the 2004 election where he over-used the now-infamous word, “NOTED”.
The man simply has NO SUBSTANCE whatsoever and lacks the INTEGRITY to be voted into office. Where would a “NOTED MEGA STAR” bring him? Definitely not on my ballot!
I remember watching the ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ Episode when Sharon Cuneta won 1 million pesos. At one point, she called on Kiko to be her ‘lifeline’ on a multiple choice question with three choices. He offered an answer but you can sense that Sharon was not convinced. Good thing she did not follow her husband’s advice and offered her own answer instead. Goes to show who is the smarter between the two.
lakay,
What’s interesting in the article regarding Gloria “being named by Forbes Magazine as one of the world’s most powerful women” is that the said magazine says that “the storm is not over” for Gloria and that she “faces continuous calls to step down before her term ends in 2010; plans for impeachment proceedings seem to perennially loom.” I guess they see it, too. Pekeng Pangulo kasi.
Here’s the article taken from the website of Forbes.com
———————
The 100 Most Powerful Women
#45 Gloria Arroyo
It’s been a tumultuous tenure for President Arroyo. Last year, she fended off an impeachment attempt stemming from allegations that she cheated to win her country’s May 2004 elections. The storm is not over. The scandal-plagued Arroyo, 59, who became president in 2001, faces continuous calls to step down before her term ends in 2010; plans for impeachment proceedings seem to perennially loom. The controversy overshadows Arroyo’s successful lowering of the budget deficit and her work increasing Philippine electronics exports. —Tatiana Serafin
Powerful but does it say she is honest?
Does being powerful makes her less of a liar, a cheat and a thief that she is?
You should have asked as to how much Pandak paid to the advertiser to be included in the list at all! Tangna pera na naman ng bayan iyan. Bakit kailangan matuwa ang mga pilipino diyan? Dito iyan may umaandar nang sasakyan na may bombang papuntang Malacanang, patay kung patay!
I read in a daily that Gloria was #4 in The 100 Most Powerful last year (2005), this year (2006) she’s #45! A HUGE drop, diba?
He he he. Mukhang tama si ystakei that Gloria paid “advertiser to be included in the list…” so in effect parang dapat hindi sya sa list, no?
Taipan, tama din ang sinabi ng cook mo. Ang ibig sabihin sa Ingles, when you are in Rome do what the Romans do. Kaya kung nasa Malacanang ka, do what the shits do. Kung nasa opposition ka, do what the great men do. Okay ba ang Ingles ko Shioti? Eh kung nasa Pampanga ka? Do what the gambling lords do? Hindi sa kontra ako Kapampangan pero karamihan sa pulitikong Kapampangan doble cara. Taipan, lalong tumatagal lalo kitang natataipan…
Ano kaya kung mag-team up sina Kiko at Ruffy sa 2010? Kiko for President, Ruffy for Vice. Vote Pangilinan-Biazon.
AHAS! Yan si Kiko “Noted” Pangilinan! Mag-ingat dapat ang oposisyon dyan kay “Noted” dahil “Arroyo boy” talaga yan. Isa yan sa dahilan kung bakit nagdurusa ngayon ang ating bansa sa “Kuko ni Gloria”. Tama kayo mga ka-blog, OPORTUNISTA yan Si Kiko Pangilinan. Di ba nga at natalo yan nuon sa distrito niya. Kumapit siya sa partido ni Gloria Engkantada para makinabang sa pandaraya sa eleksyon kaya siya nanalo. HUWAG IBOTO AT IBASURA SI KIKO PANGLINAN SA ELEKSYON!!! Mag-ingat ang oposisyon dahil pag naging dehado sya at iwanan ng mga botante, biglang magpo- proChacha yan!
Luz, ang bansa nagdurusa sa “Kuko ni Gloria” o “Kiko ni Gloria”? Sana huwag tayong magpailalim sa Kuko ni Kiko.
ystakei-san:
YUN na nga hinala ko eh…
Nagpakahirap pa kaming mag-fill in ng ballots sent by the Embassy! I voted for Raul Roco, even if I knew that he has lesser chances of winning. I did not vote for FPJ, becoz Roco was the best candidate last 2004.
artsee:
STOP calling me shioti! My name’s cory [as ystakei-san always address me] and I’m a gal, at hindi pwedeng ma-taipan mo ako, kasi ayaw ko sa may asawa…..Besides, I am still looking…….but I won’t go for the likes of kiko!
chabeli:
You hit it! kiko as in pa-kiko has no substance. And no one…I repeat, NO ONE, will ever make pansin of that crap, kung hindi siya naging mr. cuneta!
Dyan makikita kung gaano ka shrewd, astute at manipulating sob ang kiko: imagine,he was planning to be sikat, so he pursued mega para makilala sa buong Bansa…
Baka mahilig lang sa SECONDA MANO si Kiko Pangilinan? hehehe! Okey din ang seconda mano gaya ng mga “used engine” at “spare parts” galing sa Japan. Ukay-ukay is a mega business in Metro Manila and elsewhere.
‘…ang bansa nagdurusa sa “Kuko ni Gloria” o “Kiko ni Gloria”? Sana huwag tayong magpailalim sa Kuko ni Kiko.’ -~artsee
relaks lang artsee 🙂 , iyong binat ha! baka ma-typo error ka nyan 😆
hehehe 😛
Kiko, before elected as a senator, ran for a congressional seat in Quezon City and lost miserably. Despite his loss, he learned a lesson and was inspired by the political success of Marcos in having Imelda as his secret weapon in his political battles; he pursued the then very popular Sharon Cuneta who was then separated from her husband. The only difference between him and Marcos in so far as to their love life is concerned, Marcos loved Imelda, while Kiko, we really don’t know if he ever did loved Sharon. Everybody knows and maybe with the exception of Sharon, that Kiko used her as his stepping stone to the political limelight. Ang sabi nga ng mga tao, kahit na Barangay captain hindi mananalo yan kung hindi dahil kay Sharon. Isa siya sa mga nag-ngangawa laban kay Estrada at sa naging papel niya sa pagpababa kay Erap, nasama siya sa senatorial lineup na supported by The Glue.
At sa naging papel din niya noong last election as Mr. Noted, kahit na ano pang gawin niya, magsisi, mag-sorry, o mag-apologize sa buong Pilipinas hindi tatalab sa akin. Kasama siya sa conspiracy para nakawin ang mandate ng mga tao, at ang dapat ay kasama rin siyang ibitay ng patiwarik Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan ay kung bakit itong mga opposition ay i-kino-consider yata siya sa kanilang line-up. He is an opportunist, not an oppositionist. Pagbali-baliktarin mo man ang mundo, kay The Glue pa rin yan. Sa panahon ngayon na mabaho ang papel ni Aling Glue, medyo keep his distance muna, para hindi halata, pero pagkatapos na ng election at nasama siya sa nanalo under the opposition ticket, labas na naman ang tunay na kulay niya. Glue na Glue pa rin sila.
ay naku mga kabayan…sabi nga ni ms Ellen, being included in the ‘powerful list’ doesnt mean na magaling ka or matalino ka…powerful could mean as powerful as hitler in his time and lke Idi Amin or PolPot..mga hayop na powerful kasi mga bully. yun lang ang alam kundi mam-bully. ang mga mahilig mam-bully mga walang yag-ba at mga walang utak. kung baga sa aso na tahol ng tahol, pero pagka inangilan mo ay gigitna din ang buntot between his legs at mag-whimper..sabi ko na noon, ppuro showbiz lang kc ang kayang ma-comprehend ng masa at ito ay ine-exploit ng mga trapo na ito…tingnan nyo nalang na nagbubunyi ang mga bolploks ng ma-tsismis na tatakbong mayor si paquiao..sus ginoo…magiging cockpit capital ang asia nyan!..tataas ng kalidad ang mga utak ipis..magiging utak panabong na!!!
Kiko and Sharon’s marriage, is marriage for convenience;
Kiko’s joining the opposition ticket is for political convenience. Ang lugi sa una, si Sharon, sa pangalawa, taong bayan, ang panalo at lamang palagi si Kiko. Smart, wise or opportunist?
Anyone can make any comment or criticize as much as he wants; but can we not do away with race or regional bashing? I’m very much offended by one here who keeps bashing Capampangan. It’s getting out of control. It’s inconceivable that the moderator fails to take note of such frequent violation.
florry:
More on NAGGAMITAN silang dalawa ni sharon.
Kiko uses mega [kahit maga na] for his political ambitions.
mega uses kiko for a civilly acceptable position in society.
as easy as that!
Hi everyone. Can’t help but to add here that i too hate this guy. But just thinking, kung oposisyon na siya, when election campaign starts (if there will be one), walang magbro-brought out or attack him from either political party about his ‘NOTED’ acts for obvious reason. Filipinos have very short memories and without anyone reminding them of those acts he might again be voted as. I would campaign for my relatives and friends not to vote for him.
kitamokitako,
hindi na siguro ngayon. majority of our countrymen have learned their lesson. hindi na maloloko ang taong bayan. at saka ano ginagawa natin? maaari nating paalalahanan ang ating mga kaanak, kaibigan, mga kapitbahay at maging ang ating mga kakilala.
e-mail from Roger Sarmiento in Saudi Arabia:
I agree with you na hindi dapat maihalal ulit si Kiko Pangilinan sa pagiging Senador dahil sa kanyang “Noted, Noted” remarks during the May 2004 election canvassing. Alam niya na mainit sa kanya ang mga taong bayan kaya kumampi siya kay Drilon at eventually may balak siyang kumandidato ulit. Of of all these people in the top 15, mas may karapatan si Chiz Escudero na mapasama.
hindi na siguro ngayon. majority of our countrymen have learned their lesson. hindi na maloloko ang taong bayan. -~Mrivera
kitamokitako, Mrivera and All:
Huwag pa rin tayong pakakasiguro, maging aral sana sa atin ang 2001 at 2004 election na kung saan makinarya sa politika ang nanaig.
Speaking of “political machinery”, nakita ko kahapon sa Batasan Road-San Mateo area ang mga streamers na nag-we-welcome kanila Ben Abalos, Joe De Venecia, Prospero Nograles, Leandro Mendoza, at Gov Ynares na meron silang meeting sa Max’s Restaurant San Mateo, Rizal.
Ito na ba ang simula ng paglulunsad ng “langis sa makinarya”?
Ano ba kayo? You judged the capabilities of Kiko just on the way he handled the congressional canvassing of votes? Why, have you checked his legislative record? You are already blinded by your anti-pandak stance.
Tapos gusto niyo si Escudero, dahil lang sa kanyang pagtatatalak? Ano ba kayo? Ano ba ang legislative record niya? Inuna pa niya ang pagtatatalak kaysa tulungan ang mga taga-distrito niya nung recent calamity sa lugar nya.
But on any day I’d choose any of the Batasan 5 over Kiko and Escudero. Dapat nang matanggal sa Senado sina Loi, Jinggoy at Jamby, and the old old man Pimentel. Satur Ocampo et al deserve to be in the Senate.
SIGURADO AKO NA FOR SATUR OCAMPO et al, TALAGANG BAYAN MUNA ANG UNA. EH THE REST OF THE “UNITED OPPOSITION”? ANG TALAGANG SLOGAN NILA AY “ALIS DIYAN PARA KAMI NAMAN!”
Wake up people. Being anti-pandak should just be one of the qualifications, BUT NOT THE NO. 1 INDISPENSABLE QUALIFICATION
(ang pinag-uusapan natin dito ay ang suitability to be a senatorial candidate of several prospects at present. so please limit comments, if any, to the issue at hand. and no ad hominems please)
Anthony, sometimes it feels good to be different from the rest. But this time, I think you’re out of this planet. If Senator Pangilinan could use his power and position to prevent the presentation of evidences during canvass of votes in Congress last year, just imagine what he would do if he gets re-elected for the last time as senator. He only needs our votes just for this time. And you can also imagine what he would do when he’s in higher office comes 2010. To end all arguments about Pangilinan, the best thing to do is to dump him next election. Let’s see how many songs his wife Sharon would sing on stage for him or cry like she does in the movies. Why not Sharon Cuneta run for Senator instead? She has less objection from people. Kiko? NAH!
Speaking of the name Kiko, Japan’s Princess Kiko has given birth to a boy. Otherwise, debate would have continued if it’s time a woman is next in throne. How about calling Sharon’s husband Prince Kiko?
anthony, ano ba ang ad hominems. mahina talaga ako sa language. in a way, i think you are talking sense here. i donot know all these would be candidates anyway, so if i will vote i will consult their track records if it is consistent with their party platform. but maybe this does not exist in the pinas, then maybe their personal ideology, i.e., what is driving them as politicians.
To npongco:
“But this time, I think you’re out of this planet”
Oh no, you have succumbed to the use of “ad hominems”!! Am I out of this planet? Remember, it takes one to know one.
You haven’t really responded to what I floated – are you dissing Kiko just because of the way he handled the congressional canvass? Are you overlooking his legislative record from 2001 up to the present? Would you solely base his worth on the 2004 congressional canvass? Then you are no different from the rest of the voters WHO ARE PERSONALITY-ORIENTED RATHER THAN ISSUE-ORIENTED.
For everybody’s information. Kiko and Raul Gonzales then were just joint chairs. They cannot rule on their own. Its the whole body (reps from House-Senate) who decides. The joint chairs can be overruled by the members of the joint canvassing body. GMA allies were a majority in that joint body, so we know the body’s leaning.
Presentation of evidences? The canvassing body was not the proper venue.
And the actual canvassing of presidential votes is done by both houses of Congress. STRICTLY SPEAKING, WHAT THE BODY CHAIRED BY KIKO AND RAUL GONZALES DID WAS EXAMINE THE INTEGRITY OF THE CERTIFICATES OF CANVASS (COCs); DECIDING WHICH COCs SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL AND ACTUAL CANVASSING TO BE DONE BY BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS.
“To end all arguments about Pangilinan, the best thing to do is to dump him next election”
What do you mean by “all arguments”? YOUR ONLY ARGUMENT AGAINST KIKO IS THE WAY HE HANDLED THE EXAMINATION OF THE COCs.
To norpil:
“ad hominems” is a short cut to “argumentum ad hominem” literally meaning attacking the person. Its a fallacy in argumentation, resorting to attacking the person rather than his ideas. Attacking the person does not contribute to the discussion of issues.
If you can recall all comments to my posts, commenters were generous in calling me names, adjectives, before dissecting my ideas. A more recent example of ad hominems is npongco’s comment that “I am out of this planet” without rebutting my idea of not judging the worth of Kiko solely on how he handled the examination of COCs.
How about you, sir norpil? Will you reject Kiko just on what he did in the examination of COCs?
to anthony:i thought i answered the question more politely by generalising so that i will not antagonize unnecessarily, i.e., examine the person’s track record. actually i donot believe in a single act thing, i am looking for the story/ideology- a conglomeration of actions by which we can judge the candidates. living in sin and committing a sin are two different things, even god forgive those who just have gone wayward.. as to the other’s comments which are ad hominems (ty : i learned something again), i think i am too old to take it seriously but still try to digest what they say.. i visited ruffy biazons homepage and i learned also something about arguments which i have noticed here, i.e., the abas argument which meant actually, ah basta ako ang tama, which actually end all other arguments but is in a way better than ad hominem.
To norpil:
Yes, I acknowledge that you indeed answered the question politely. Sorry about that. The tenor of my last sentence is more like “are you joining npongco and the rest who will base Kiko’s worth on an isolated incident?” Dala ng frustration ko sa post ni npongco who I thought could do better than that.
Thanks for sharing the “abas argument.” I learned something. Though better than ad hominems in that it does not attack the person, the “abas argument” should be avoided as well, as it is indicative of a lack of openness, a lack of a healthy degree of tolerance, a lack of humility that one could be wrong (and the other guy, right)
People who always use ad hominems and “abas arguments” (like most posters here) do not deserve to participate in the free market of ideas. But alas, we are in a democracy, so we just have to put up with those people, and hope that there are still people out there who can discuss issues without resort to ad hominems and “abas arguments”
We can always disagree, sir norpil, but we need not be disagreeable
well sir anthony: i may soon be disagreeable when people call me sir. actually the sir fits your name better. i have seen a play wherein somebody called the other one lord anthony. but as i said before if name calling is not done with malice, it is still ok.
To norpil:
You said you are 64. So the “sir” is more of out of respect. If I have colleague who is much older I’m uncomfortable not calling him/her “sir” or “ma’am”. But since we are in the blogosphere where everyone is on a first-name basis, then its back to norpil.
Sa inyo na yang si Kiko. Tutal tapunan naman ng mga bulok at mga balimbing na pulitiko ang oposisyon eh.
ty anthony.well, i feel much older with a sir.
