I was at the Makati City Hall yesterday afternoon up to about 9 p.m. There was a steady stream of visitors, expressing support for Mayor Binay.
There were Bishops Julio Labayen and Bishop Antonio Tobias. Later in the evening the two bishops, together with three other priests, officiated mass.
There was former Finance Secretary Jess Estanislao, whose presence many found significant, because he comes from the business community and is supposedly considered conservative. For him to go there sends indeed a message.
Also there were Vice President Teofisto Guingona, movie producer Arminda Siguion Reyna, lawyer Koko Pimentel, son of Sen. Aquilino Pimentel, Amina Razul, Rene Saguisag, Leah navarro. I saw activist Linda Montayre.
Earlier, Cory Aquino and Susan Roces were there.
Malaya publisher Jake Macasaet and wife, Karen, were also there.
Originally, the mass was supposed to be held at the 21st floor where Binay is holding office, 24 hours a day, since last Tuesday’s serving of the suspension order. But Binay said, “I feel uncomforable with us holding mass here while thousands are down there, referring to his supporters in front of the City Hall.
Against the advice of his security aide, Binay and his wife, Elenita, joined the mass in front of the City Hall. Right across the street, the Malacañang -designated caretaker Rodolfo Ferraren holds office. If they were still there at that time, they must have seen and heard Bishop Tobias say that with what Malacañang did in makati, the issue has now gone beyond Binay. He said, “it’s time to show our national anger.”
Binay wore a MABINI T-shirt. MABINI is an organization of lawyers who fought the Marcos dictatorship.
Someone quipped, “Baka kaksuhan din siya ito sa paggamit ng pangalan ni Mabini” referring to the threat of the AFP to bring Binay to court martial for wearing the military uniform improperly.
There are speculations that Malacañang is leaning hard on the Court of Appeals not to grant the temporary restraining order that Binay is asking. There are also some who said that seeing the determination of Binay to fight back and the support he is getting Malacañang now wants to save face and is the one urging the CA to grant the TRO so they can get out of the mess in Makati that they have created.
As I write this, I got a text that in anticipation of the big rally that is being organized for tomorrow by various groups working for freedom and democracy, Malacañang has ordered a dispersal of the crowd now. Both sides are now mobilizing!
Here are some of the pictures:
Binay with Tobias
I’m encountering difficulty posting pictures. I’ll try again later.
Laugh this one out (http://www.malaya.com.ph/oct19/news3.htm):
Those who want to write Mayor Binay, the address is:om@makati.gov.ph
Thanks, Ellen. I’ll send him an e-card. Will also suggest a pots and pans protest to make the protest dramatic and catch international attention, even to show the helplessness amidst the brazenness and total lack of law by this bogus president who should have been disqualified, arrested and prosecuted like any other criminal.
God willing, Ellen, the time has come, and justice and truth will finally prevail!
Ingat!
Yes, Ellen, the issue now is not Binay. It is the injustices and abuses that this fake government is doing to the people. To hell with the devil couple that squat in malacanang!!! I feel their end is coming now………….JUSTICE FOR BINAY AND THE FILIPINO PEOPLE!!!
its a matter of time now and GMA and FG the conjugal evil will be gone!! the wrath of the filipino people is now coming..i urged the good mayor that we now go on to a thru peoples initiative..peoples power initiative and oust now this evil empire of GMA and her evil minions..what a great christmas and new year to all filipinos..no more GMA and FG the master cheater..let us all now prepare for the clean up of all the messed and misdeeds that this evil government created on us..and never,never again that this kind of people will reign again..mabuhay ang filipino and God Bless the Philippines
Ellen, is that legal? I thought any reservist can wear his uniform unless there is the intention to dupe any one like what the bogus president does. Binay is in a state of war, and he has every right I think to wear his uniform especially if his intention in doing so is to remind his fellow soldiers and fellow reservists to uphold the law and honor the rules of engagement should the bogus presidents’ puppies in the military try to take his position sanctioned by majority of the citizens of Makati by force.
Isa pa abogado si Binay. He knows the law and he knows what he is doing. Time the rule of law is restored and upheld by all concerned Filipinos, including those who are willing to kiss the ass of the bogus president, who should be removed pronto. Kundi baka maubos na ang assets ng Pilipinas dahil sa kawalanghiyaang ginagawa, including iyong mga laman-laman ng mga pilipino that are likely to be made as the next export commodity of this brazen and illegitimate government!!!
i’ve already sent an email to binay’s office expressing support.
The “issue is beyond Binay”…absolutely true! Because this latest “escapade in power” by gloria and her “gang” is a “test” on the TRUE WILL of the people, not only of Makati but the entire country. Imagine the “abuse” their doing? Taking-out the “duly elected” leaders from office without “due process”, a process that is “CLEAN, FAIR, and JUST”.

‘yung si Lt. Col. Bacarro, “paepal” lang yun…hehehe Sinong “estupidong” opisyales ang “uupo” sa isang “military tribunal” para litisin ang isang Mayor na ROTC officer, na “gininaw at dahil maulan” ay nagsuot ng kaniyang “old unies” para gawing “jacket”? Aba’y kapag talagang ginawa nila ito…ay sus, kawawa talaga ang AFP natin, dahil “loonies” ang mga opisyales.
mayor binay is a reservist with the rank of full col. he is a graduate of MNSA and GSC in GHQ camp aguinaldo..he can wear his uniform as he is allowed to..what ltc bacarro the AFP PIO saying is not true,,this people are always good in propaganda or in twisting the rules,,and am sure that what ltc bacarro read or said in the media did not come from the AFP guidlines on uniform..those words where drafted in malacanang epecially the office of the executive where ermita is..thats how good is ermita..they call it psywar or psyops..using ltc bacarro.ermita is one of propagandist of this administration..he is the one inventing rules and using others people office to read it..ermita has been doing this ever since he is with GMA and FG the conjugal evil..ernita is the one running the show,,even to the extent of killing and murdering people that go against them.he is the giving orders for the death squad they created togethere with Gen palparan and tolentino..and DOJ gonzales is their armour shields protecting them using DOJ`s office.now they can feel the heat..their time is now near..don`t let this guy ermita escape the wrath of filipino people..he should be arrested together with the conjugal evil couple!!!
You bet, Ocayvalle, the bogus president’s puppies are just quacking. I am not a soldier and do not actually know what kind of rules they have in the AFP, but it is common sense that Binay is not committing any crime wearing his uniform especially when he is in an apparent state of war with the puppies right outside his office pointing their guns at him!!!
As the head of a big city in the Philippines, he is and must be allowed by law to wear his uniform since he has not actually renounced his position there. Hindi naman siguro bobo si Binay to believe these lackeys. Ano ba ang nalalaman ni Bansot na ubod naman ng bobo at puro kabulastugan lang ang ginagawa. Gosh, tanggalan mo ng power iyan na nakawin ang mga pera ng bayan, at kumpiskahin ang mga ninakaw nila, at hindi na iyan makakabayad sa mga binabayaran niyang gunggong din, pihado sira na iyan.
Time to take out those pots and pans para gamitin sa pag-iingay! Iyong mga empleyado ng Makati, dapat sumama sa rally bukas!
Mga ka-blog-an;
My friend, who is monitoring my blogging in this blog, has reported that I am being hacked. I have been cleaning my computer every hour since yesterday. Talaga naman!
Desperate na si Bansot. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Ellen,
Puede bang puruhin na lang muna ang loop na ito for supporters of Mayor Binay, the Vice-Mayor and Councilors of Makati who have been voted by the people of Makati not appointees of the bogus president who should in fact be disqualified, arrested and prosecuted according to existing law? Kailangan kasi ang concentration on how we can help those wanting the return of the rule of law with this turn of event.
God willing, mapapakulong na rin si Bansot!

Friends,
Re: “but it is common sense that Binay is not committing any crime wearing his uniform especially when he is in an apparent state of war with the puppies right outside his office pointing their guns at him!!!”
I saw the picture too and didn’t know that he was an officer but the first thing that came to my mind was “he is not wearing the uniform properly.”
Yuko is right that Binay may not be a commiting a crime as such to wear the military uniform as he did but he committed a breach of military protocol. An officer found to be breaching military protocol may either be subjected to a reprimand and depending on the superior may face disciplinary actions.
Even if he was “disciplined” for using his reservist uniform, I still applaud him for standing up against Gloria Arroyo’s administration. Who else has the guts to do so? I wish that this political drama will end up in Mayor Binay’s favor, and ultimately in our (as citizens) favor!
And for once the AFP is is right. A reservist officer may not wear his military rank (uniform) unless in a ceremony of sorts.
Not even retired military officers (ex active duty officers)are allowed to wear their uniform unless the occasion calls for it.
There clearly was a breach of military protocol.
What “disturbed” me when I saw the pic yesterday was Mayor Binay wearing his officer uniform improperly too.
the statement that the issue is now beyond binay is very apt now after all that has happened, it is time to show ones anger. i salute bishop tobias for saying the right words and what he meant.this may be the spark that will really ignite and unite the opposition at last.
Yeah, as i posted in the other thread.. it seems someone is trying to block my posts also.. and sometimes, this site seems not working..
Talagang nangangatog na mga tuhod nitong mga ito..
TRO has been issued!..
Takot na talaga sila at alam nilang pwedeng maging People Power ung mga tao sa Makati…
Now, I think the opposition has the weapon to counter MIDGET and her DOGS!.. It’s JOJO BINAY!
Anna,
I am not a soldier so I don’t know such rule, but how about the daughter of the Midget reviewing the military when she is not even a reservist or even a government employee but just the daughter of a bogus president.
Whatever, how about the point that the AFP is not even in principle legal now with all the appointees of the bogus president heading it. Is it still a breach of protocol on the part of Binay to wear his uniform briefly and improperly just to remind his fellow soldiers that he is a soldier, too, but is a reservist now?
Thanks for the enlightenment. Better for the soldiers there to be reminded of the rules of the military where it is still being followed to the letter.
Ellen,
The AdAware software is included in the Applications I sent you. I have also included the free editon of AVG Buster there that I find very effective in cleaning my computers.
Yuko,
Re: Gloria’s daughter: I think she was wrong to do that; is she a reservist too? And even if she was a reservist, what was the occasion? If it was in her honor but if I remember rightly, she wasn’t wearing the uniform when she did it. Someone in the military should have reminded her that at best, Luli was being completely ridiculous.
Re Binay: “Is it still a breach of protocol on the part of Binay to wear his uniform briefly and improperly”
In the absolute, the answer is yes.
19 October 2006
Hehehehehehehehe……… Funny thing about this administration of gloria is, they kept on telling the local executives to follow the rule of law and subject themselves to the investigation, again, hehehehehehe………. Isn’t it them who are not following the rule of law??? why not let gloria subject herself to the impeachment case filed against her??? or better yet, what is happening to the case/s of the pro-gloria, like for example nani perez??? mayor atienza of manila, joc-joc bolante, and of course who will forget the infamous garcillano and others….. before they start talking, they should look at themselves in the mirror first. They should be the one to follow the rule of law, they who killed the impeachment case in the LOWER house should really be following the rule of law. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES as forrest gump said.
prans
Having said that, I believe that Binay’s wearing of the uniform should not be turned into a national or military issue. At worst, it is a ridiculous issue given the gravity of the situation – a stand off between Malacanang and the country’s premiere city.
What may be thorny here is that Binay’s act might be seized upon by Malacanang to prod the AFP to drum up charges against Binay.
In other words, Binay will have to battle on two fronts when clearly, it could have been avoided so that he could focus on the greater battle which is against Ermita and Malacanang.
Unwittingly, Binay gave LtGeneral Eduardo Ermita (Retd) a little bat to hit him back with. Ermita could use his influence on the AFP, he being a former 3-star general to poke Binay.
The breach of military protocol issue will then serve to waste Binay’s time particularly when by wearing his uniform, we assume he wanted to show his military affiliation, only to boomerang.
Who knows, the tactic could have been useful had he completely, totally assumed the military persona by being properly attired.
The military has strict and hard rules way beyond the rules of civilian life.
The TRO against Binay’s suspension was given by the Court of Appeals. Malacanang stooges said that they always respect what the courts say. So this situation is diffused…
Again, the administration has played its style of doing something or anything that it likes to do and daring people to disprove them or prove them wrong. Once proven wrong or rebuffed (as in this case), wala namang parusa kaya okay lang! Kahit man lang sana pingot o pitik sa tainga…
19 October 2006
Off-topic lang po and sensya na po:
I got information that the cha-cha movers in case there’s a system change, wants the president to be chosen by the members of the parliament without getting voted upon by the people. in short, the poeple will have no voice who we want to become the president. Stupid and crazy, most of us nga doesn’t want cha-cha at this time and now they want the president, the head of state to be chosen by the memebrs of the parliament just like the prime minister. hehehehehe… this people talaga will move heaven and earth to get what they want.
prans
Yeah, I agree with you Jon.. But if there’s one good thing that came out from this is that, unexpectedly, the opposition might have just found the person they have been looking for so long who could rally them to be united and really search for truth and justice in the Philippines… Personally, BINAY with his administraton skills, he really fits the job.. He has the support of the poor and the respect of the rich and the businessmen.. and the bishops support him also.. the youth?.. asks the students and graduates of the Pamantasan ng Makati and you will see how loved he is by the youths… if he can do those things for Makati, definitely he can do those also for the Philippines.
Re: “if he can do those things for Makati, definitely he can do those also for the Philippines.”
I should hope so but he’s got to climb over Malacanang’s squatters today to do that.
Obviously, the stand off in Makati will give him national media mileage and be recognized all over the country.
Baka pati yung yellowcard sa Makati pagdiskitahan ng mga aso ni GMA?
They may still have the rally tomorrow at Makati with the pots and pans for dramatic ending of this saga! Nanlalansi lang si Bansot knowing that the US is in fact watching carefully with all the advisories issued in the last two or three days.
Next time, Binay may try wearing his uniform more properly although I would rather that he does not because right now, he is a civilian, and if there is going to be a showdown, he should do it the civilian way. He should not start up like Idi Amin who took over Uganda in uniform!!!
Nelbar, sorry but what is a yellowcard? Is it something like a traffic ticket?
Bacarro said Binay could also be charged with violating Article 179 of the Revised Penal Code for illegal use of uniform and insignias. The punishment is six years in prison.
itong si bacarro ay katulad din ni tristan kison. mga ideologist young soldiers who fought gallantly in 1980’s but sold their honor, treasure and soul to the devil manipulators.
What about the warrant of arrest for the Bansot? Did she not admit that she broke the rule when she called up Garci? Why is this crook being given exemption to the rule when she has never been properly elected to the post of president?
If Binay has to follow some military rule, this crook of a bogus president should be all means be made to follow some civilian and/or criminal rule.
I’m for the return of the rule of law! Mayor Binay should call on his fellow lawyers to work on this by all means! What bar association is he connected with? I wonder.

anna, with the kind of situation prevailing in makati, everything about mayor binay’s movement will be scrutinized by malacanan players. however, he (binay) should not proceed wearing this uniform until the end of his fight to stay in makati city hall.
kunsabagay ay tama ang mga nabanggit na provisions ng articles of war covering the wearing of military uniform and insignias.
This TRO is for a 60-day suspension. That will be good enough time for Binay to prepare his arguments regarding the ghost list, etc. false accusations against him, the Vice Mayor and the Councilors. They should encourage young lawyers to join the defense team for Binay for a break.
Ingat din iyong judges of the Court of Appeals kasi baka sila rin ang pagdiskitahan ni Ale Boba who thinks she owns the Philippines and has every right to give the call based on her wiles and whims. Time to put a stop to the bribery especially paid with public funds!!!

Mrivera, Anna:
Binay’s wearing of the uniform may be out of context or a violation of some military rule that as a lawyer, he surely must know for a fact, but I have a feeling that he did so for dramatic effect just in case the military do a repeat of what they did to Panfilo Villaruel or Mayor Trinidad of Pasay. He must be aiming to neutralize the military by showing the soldiers, especially the low-ranking officers, that he was in fact one of them. In short, hindi katalo!!!
I don’t think he had any intention to defy any military rule but just toeing the line.
Mrivera,
“anna, with the kind of situation prevailing in makati, everything about mayor binay’s movement will be scrutinized by malacanan players.”
Right you are!
Mayor Binay should not give Gloria and her generals the excuse to fire at him from another angle. The 60 day “perm” is a good one if only to allow Binay the opportunity to regroup his forces and to re-think his strategy.
And as you said, he should not do it attired in the military in order to stave off the attack by Gloria’s dogs of war. He will need the sympathy of the good ones in the military if or when Gloria leashes her cavalry.
Binay has fired the first salvo inflicting enough damage on Malacanang so he should proceed more cleverly now.
Tama yung sabi ni anna sa kabilang thread, mahirap makapasok dito sa site ni ellen.
Kailangan mo pa ng ilang beses na click bago ka maka pasok sa isang topic o makapag post ng comments.

Yuko,
I think so too – dramatic effect – but this is where the tactic could boomerang on him. That’s why I said, earlier on that the military has strict and hard rules beyond the rules that civilians are guided by.
It would be to his detriment if by showing his military affiliation, he causes the AFP to drag him to court for a grandstanding that could have been avoided. (I can tell you that there are good soldiers out there who would have been horrified at the sight of a colonel in the reserve wearing the uniform so negligently in full view of the public and shown nation wide.)
What bothers me really is that Malacanang might grab that little window of opportunity to pounce on Binay – it would waste his time which should be spent on battling with Ermita and Malacanang instead.
Ooops, “He will need the sympathy of the good ones in the military if or when Gloria UNLEASHES her cavalry.”
Showdown in Makati at high noon! Illegitimate Gloria finally got something to think about and Gloria’s choo-choo express train has come to a slow down, at least temporarily. If Mayor Rambo Binay, a man of his words, with honor as a soldier on his military uniform, bloodshed can be expected. Perhaps to the extreme, but with the volatile condition everything is possible, and lets not ruled out revolution or a mini-civil war in the streets of Makati. Bogus Gloria asked for it! The fortunate grave mistake of bogus took a life of its own. Mayor Rambo Binay has now being turned every each way, and no more control of the situation if he even tries. It’s now up to the people to finish the battle, the clear passage way has been exposed, and the people’s emotion in Makati and throughout are quite to the peak, just ripen for battle with bogus Gloria.
I guess in the battle when it become necessary, mass can be expected and acceptable, outside the house of god. But lets not forget for a minute the great cause Mayor Rambo Binay is now engaged in, fighting against a subversive administration of illegitimate Gloria. Lets be focus to the significance of the Mayor Rambo Binay critical position that bogus Gloria put him in. This one is for keep of who got the strong will to survive, and I believe on Ellen, “Justice will prevail”. And Mayor Rambo Binay is on the side of the law and his cause is just. This is no fiesta to celebrate, but I hope people be the at the side of Mayor Rambo Binay that ultimately will lead to kicking bogus Gloria out of our house. Fake Gloria has dirtied our house for six years, and now the moment, the opportune time since it presented itself, bogus Gloria’s generous gift to the people -Mayor Rambo Binay.
Illegitimate Gloria will lose on this one!
Amen!
I can understand your point, Anna, but what they have now in the Philippines are no longer gentlemen of uniforms and Binay was just giving them the kind of medicine they have been trying on him and his constituents.
Anyway, the main issue is not his wearing the uniform but the harrassment and attempt of the bogus president to consolidate even the local governments so she can have full control of the country with her husband, family, friends and cronies so she can be queen!
Keep the pressure on, tighten the noose on Gloria’s neck. We got enough Anna’s Manila ROPE to perform the most appropriate hanging to the satisfaction of fake Gloria – painless death. More humane if we’ve to compare to 760 + – activists and journalists that perished, met a violent untimely death. And this time don’t let the thieves of Malacanang wiggle there way out on this one. We got Mayor Rambo Binay willing to sacifice his life, to fight head on the Philippines monsters dictatorial regime of illegitimate Gloria.
If you are not with Mayor Rambo Binay, you are against him!
My opinion, the uniforms ot the Philippines military doesn’t deserve any kind of respect, at least not for now, for they, the military prostituted the military’s honor and integrity in the name of illegitimate, bogus, fake Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Furthermore, the commander-in-chief of the men and women in uniforms is a liar, cheat and thief, and if anybody desecrated the uniforms of the military is bogus Gloria Arroyo. Gloria used and uses the military in uniforms to do dirty work for her, cheated for her, lied for her, and killed for her. Mayor Rambo Binay is not the one who should be prosecuted for disrespecting the uniform, the commander-in-chief, Assperon, Habacon, Angelo Reyes, and others that sold their uniforms to bogus Gloria.
Uniforms of the military are not a symbol of integrity nor honesty, many in uniforms wore it without honor only to perform Gloria’s kniving disgusting behavior. The uniforms are but a tools of bogus Gloria in order to accomplish her mission to remain in power.
And Mayor Binay with his cause, perhaps will save the honor of the men and women in uniforms, but until the mission is accomplished, bogus Gloria is out of our House, I would considered that many in uniforms are on the wrong side of the law. Including those wearing the black robes, called themselves Supreme Court and other judges, et al.
basta may maibatong issue para matira lang si Binay ay gagawin ng mga baboy sa EK….with all the hoolabaloo happening..nobody is taking notice of the talamak kotongan in the port areas right now. Christmas is jst around the corner and business is booming with many things from China, and other countries that want to have a taste of our buying power…so is the loot bag of the fatguy…getting heavier and heavier in time for his winter holidays with the family and extended family hehehe….hindi nga namn tatanggap ng basta basta na gift si E…dapat kumikinang at mabigat..samantalang si pandak bruha naman ay may mother-baby with her boylets..hahaha ang bababoy talaga nila…kaya ang minamalas ay ang Pinas…
Mayor Binay, we will pray to all the gods known….they know what it is the truth!!!!
here’s jejomar binay’s website
http://www.jejomarbinay.com.ph
Yuko,
I’ve just been on to the site provided by John here. Have learned that Binay is a lawyer and is a graduate of the Natl Defence College of the Philippines. He should be aware of the Article of War.
Many lawyers are not aware of military rules and regulations and perhaps, some do not even know the Articles of War but I believe Binay is.
Anyway, I’ve just read the opinion of Alan Paguia in the Philippine Commentary, essentially saying DILG is wrong (gosh, from what Paguia says, I get the impression Puno is making “chancing” and testing the waters), so I believe Binay is on the right trek here. He should win the 1st and the 2nd round but he’s fighting The Establishment (even if it’s bogus), an entity that has a full arsenal it could use.
But given the record (based on what I’ve read in Binay’s website), the Makati mayor ain’t the type who has never allowed himself to be bullied.
Way to go, Mayor!
Ooops, “Makati mayor ain’t the type who has EVER allowed himself to be bullied.
“Way to go, Mayor!”
more binay links here, including the makati city portal, binay’s blog (not much info), contact information, and a forum on makati issues.
http://www.politicaljunkie.blogspot.com/2006/10/mayor-binay-links.html
i’d love to see mayor binay blogging this thing.
That was why I wasn’t worried about the uniform, Anna. It was meant more as an attempt at appealing to the basic goodness of the Philippine soldiers as they were being pushed by the crooks in the bogus government to commit a carnage just to ensure the position of the bogus president, and for that I do not see why it would be illegal even by military rule, for it is to save lives!
You mentioned Paguia. He is one guy who should be given back his license to practice. His is a sure case of injustice.
Heheh! “basic goodness of the Philippine soldiers”.
When soldiers (as in troops) are given the order to attack, most of the time, I’m not saying, all the time, they are expected to follow orders, rightly or wrongly.
It is up to the officers to have the moral courage to think if he can interpret the order or not, or follow it to the letter.
The “basic goodness” of a soldier is put to a severe test when he’s under fire.
Anna,
I have heard of Israeli soldiers defying orders now like those pilots who refused to drop bombs at some Palestinian village a year or two ago. You bet, it takes courage to do such a thing, but I think it is necessary if indeed people of our generation would not want to witness the total destruction of the world what with these nukes the US, Russia, NoKor, etc. keep.
Yep! Indeed, soldiers who defy illegal orders are to be commended. It takes ENORMOUS courage for a military person to defy an illegal order than to shoot outright.
I hope I am not yet late to post a comment about the uniform. Please correct me if Im wrong but what can you say to someone who’s assuming the post of a 4 star and even went to the senate dressed as a 4 star but not even confirmed as a 3 star? Mga gago pala ang sipsip na ilang sundalong ito eh. Ang sarap duraan sa mukha ang mga hayop na nasa Malakanyang na iyan lalo na yung mga ilang corrupt na heneral at mga tuta.
Mrivera,
If you ask me, and I’ve vented a lot of tags on that Ass, that guy was none other than the Bastusan general of a Bastusan bogus commander in chief!
Ooops, it ain’t Mrivera, it’s a new commenter, sorry, my reply is actually addressed to Mike Uliling!
Thank you Ms. De Brux. I’ve been constantly following this blog for a while now. It is just so frustrating to know that these hooligans in the palace are still there. How I wished they would suffer the same fate of the Ceausescu in Romania. Each one of them including that Davide (I have no respect for that stupid crook) plus the corrupt generals.
Come to think of it, Anna, since batsusan is the code of ethics, etc. even in the Philippine military, valid pa rin ang pagsuot ni Binay ng uniform niya! Symbolic pa nga ang dating!
Heheheh! Yuko, ang bilis mo naman!
Mike Uliling,
Bakit nga ba ikukumpirma ang isang opisyal na sangkot sa dayaan?
Nagtaka din ako dito sa AFP noong nakaraang araw na nagsagawa ng medical/dental mission sa Parola, Tondo. Hindi sila NAKA-UNIPORME , at naka sibilyan dress lang?
Common sense lang, Anna, and I have plenty of it. Thank God!

ystakei, i will take that. there are instances when certain rules are to be defied just to show the other side unseen. someone has to start a drawing line for others to realize that something has has to be turned upside down.
..something has to be turned upside down.
Iyan din ang nasa isip ko, Mrivera. In fact, Mayor Binay was simply making emphasis that he was defying that order of suspension not because he did not respect the law but coming from the bogus president, it was not justified and was merely a harrassment that by law he could protest and demand a fair hearing, but not of course in the courts dominated by political appointees of the bogus president.
In short, he had to hold on to his position, and he must have thought of appealing to the sense of camaraderie of the Philippine soldiers by wearing his own uniform. Kasi mahirap na baka gawin sa kaniya ang ginawa doon sa Mayor ng Pasay o kay Panfilo Villaruel na tinadtad ng baril!!!
Tuloy ang laban hangga’t hindi inuurong ang bintang kay Binay at hindi bumababa itong bogus na presidenteng ito.
Dapat lang ipakita ni Mayor Binay na HINDI KAYA, HINDI UUBRA ang kasakiman ng manlulupig sa may Pasig ang LAHAT ng PINOY
SA LAHAT NG ORAS!
Lahat ng bagay sa mundo, mapaparam!
Malapit na ang katapusan ng mga macapal-arrovo…
Malapit na!
bakit hinde na lng magtrabaho ng maayos ang mga nasa gobyerno imbes na mgpalitan ng AKUSAYON sa bawat isa. harapin na lng nila ang lumalala ng POVERTY, CORRUPTION at CRIMINAL rate sa bansa. simple lng naman ang mga trabaho nila ang MAGLINGKOD sa sambayanang PILIPINO para umangat naman tayo!!!!!!!
Another Junior na naman ito! Bakit, sino ang may sabi sa iyong hindi nagtratrabaho si Binay? Iyong nagpapaalis nga sa kaniya ang hindi nagtratrabaho at papasyal-pasyal lang kunyari pa state visit daw, bistado naman. Kaya iyan ang dapat gawin muna ng taumbayan, ang palayasin ang magnanakaw, sinungaling at kriminal!!!
Tatlong bagay lng ang dapat bigyan ng attention ng ating gobyerno: #1POVERTY:´marami sa ating mga kababayan na mahihirap dahil sa kawalan ng matitinong trabaho kung may trabaho man mababa lng ang kinkita na hinde sapat sa arw-arw na pangangailangan at ang iba naman ay ung sa malalayong kanayunan na hanggang ngayon di pa sila naabot o nasisilayan ng mga proyektong pangkabuhayan ng gobyerno at kahit na maayos na daanan at kuryente hinde sila nabibigyan at kung mayroon mang pera para sa proyektong i2 napupunta lng sa bulsa ng iilang politiko na sila lng ang yumayaman.Yan ang #2CORRUPTION: na imbes mapakinabangan ng taong bayan ang inuutang natin sa ibang bansa para sa ikakaunlad ng bayan, napupunta lng sa iilan at hinde napakinabangan ng nkakarami. sa susunod na taon milyon na naman ang budget ni Juan dela cruz na aprubado na, pero ang tanong: May mapunta kaya kay Juan at sa pamilya nya para umunlad naman sila? At hinde na gumawa ng dahas para makara-os lng at may pantawid gutom sa pamilya?? Ito ang sinasabi nating #3CRIMINAL RATE sa bansa dahil sa walang matitinong trabaho at kung mayroon man di sapat ang kinikita dahil hinde balanse ang sweldo sa ngayon sa presyo ng bilihin. kaya ung iba napipilitan ng mgsideline na holdupper, snatcher, at kung minsan kumikitil ng buhay para lng makaraos sa kahirapan, may iilan? na ring mga pulis(hinde naman lahat) ngayon ang napipilitang gumawa ng labag sa batas na dapat sila ang ngpapatupad pero sila na rin ang lumalabag para madagdagan lng ang kita na ma-i-uwi sa kanilang pamilya.(at sa mga bisyo)PERO KUNG MINSAN IISIPIN NAMAN NATIN NA TAYO MISMO HUWAG KUKUPAD-KUPAD PARA MABILIS ANG ANGAT MGTRBAHO NG MAAYOS! kapitkamay para sa ikakaunlad ng BAYAN! sa bandang huli hawak parin natin ang atin kinabukasan kaya mag-isip ng mabuti para bukas ay hinde na muling magsisi!!!—-sabi ng lumang kasabihan:Bato-bato sa Langit ang tamaan ay huwag Magagalit!!….Kumakatok lng po para sa ating Magandang kinabukasan!!!!
You bet, gaganda ang kinabukasan ng mga pilipino kung mapapaalis mo ang mga ungas na nakaupo ngayon na ang alam lang ay magnakaw at mangloko ng kapwa nila pilipino. Mga patrimonies sa Japan, ikinakalakal ni Bansot na mismong si Marcos hindi iyan pinakialaman. Paalisin mo muna ang mga ulupong saka ayusin ang kasiraan ng bansa. Kundi balik-balik lang ang mga kawalanghiyaan namamayani sa bansa simula pa noong 1986, dalawampung taon na ang nakakaraan. Iyong mga batang ipinanganak noon ay malapit na ngang mag-asawa. Ang masama karamihan sa kanila ay walang pinag-aralan dahil hindi naman inasikasong pagandahin ang katayuan nila sa buhay. Ginagawa lang silang mga pulubi na kinakalakal pa kuno na bibigyan ng abuloy, at iyong budget para sa pagbigay ng abuloy sa kanila ay binubulsa ng mga kumag. Puro scam ang ginagawa. Kaya kung gusto mong mabago ang takbo ng bansa, makibaka para matanggal ang mga walanghiya. Iyan ang dapat na unang asikasuhin dahil sila ang dahilan ng hindi pag-unlad ng bansa.
Tama ka Juan Jr. doon sa mga inuutang na hindi pinakikinabangan ng mga pilipino. Noong Mayo o Hunyo nagpunta dito si De Venecia para hingiin ang ipinangakong tulong kay Estrada, etc. Napilitan ang Hapon na ibigay ang grant dahil ang ginawa ay kinausap ng mga kumag ang mga NGOng may kinalaman sa mga nasabing grant at sila ang nakiusap. Tuwang-tuwa si De Venecia at pinagmamadali ang mga hapon na igawad ang grant para ipambayad na suhol daw sa mga boboto laban sa impeachment! The rest is now history. Ngayon, ano ang gagawin mo para mapahinto ito? Iyan ang tanong namin sa mga pilipino?
Pababayaan ninyo bang manatili ang walanghiyang ito na ibinabaon ang mga pilipino sa utang gaya ng ginawa ng ama niya? Patong patong ang utang nga Pilipinas pero asan ang sinasabing improvement? Tao ibinebenta sa ibang bansa. Laman-laman ngayon ang pinupuntirya sa totoo lang. Pumunta ka sa Baseco, halos lahat ng lalaki doon iisa na lang ang kidney! Susmarya!
kung nabasa nyo po ng maayos ang sinulat ko sa huli sinasabi ko naman na; Sa bandang huli hawak parin natin ang ating kinabukasan, kaya mag-isip ng mabuti para bukas ay hinde na muling magsisi!! -ibig sabihin po ay kahit ganyan na ang sitwasyon ng atin gobyerno sa atin parin po ang maghanapbuhay ng maayos at marangal. At pabalik-balik lng ang mga kawanghiyaang namamayani sa bansa kung sila pa rin ang iligay natin sa pwesto kaya sinasabi ko nga po “mag-isip ng mabuti pra BUKAS AY HINDE NA MULING MAGSISI” paano mo mapapaalis sa trono kung sa pagdatinG ng halalan ay paulit ulit natin silang isusulat sa BALOTA!! Yan po ang tunay na PAKIKIBAKA at PAGKAKAISA hinde lang sa lansangan o sa kalsada; Hinde sa paraang marahas at sigawan, kunde ay nasa tamang “DESISYON” po at sa ating mga “KAMAY” nakasalalay ang ating kinabukasan at higit sa lahat hinde sa PERA O suhol!!

Maraming bumoto, isinulat ang pangalan ng gusto nila, o ano ang ginawa ni Bansot! Ninakaw! Kaya bakit mo sinisisi ang mga taong iniumangan ng baril at bomba para matakot?
Alam ko kami dito TAO at hindi kami sinungaling. Masama ang manloloko sa totoo lang. Pero iyong mga nakaupo, tawag nga namin Ayup! May tumawag ng biik doon sa Bansot dahil ang taba ngayon, pero nagalit ang mga biik!

You bet, Mrivera. Kailangan lang na ibato kasi sa naiinggit na ito na ipinalalabas pang mas kasalanan ng mga pilipino kung bakit may mga ungas sa gobyerno nila gayong ang totoo ay ginawa namang mangmang ang karamihan sa mga pilipino para madaling maloko! OK nagkamali ang mga tao na napaupo ang aswang sa Malacanang, pero binawi nila iyon sa boto nila noong 2004 kahit na nga anong pangloloko ang binalak para makuha ang boto nila Pero ano ang ginawa ni Bansot? Di ba ninakaw ang 1 milyong boto, at inutusan iyong mga ungas na galamay niya na si JdV at iyong asawa ni Sharon Cuneta na dayain na ang mga boto nila na diniklara siyang winner kahit hindi pa tapos ang bilangan, at nang magreklamo iyong taga-Namfrel, siniraan nila at kinasuhan.
Kung walanghiya naman ang pinsan ng nanay ko na si Marcos e mas talamak naman yatang walanghiya ang dugong asong ito.
You bet, hindi na kailangan pang sabihin ang mga mabuting ginagawa dahil iyong mga tinutulungan na ang magsasabi. Nababanggit lang bilang pagtutuwid ng mali.
Focus on the issue, please. Don’t waste your time and effort on personal differences.
Noted, Ellen. Naks, parang si Kiko!
One thing I have tried lately not to do is believe propaganda. The best thing is try to work with these people who like Guingona for instance and find out if he is real and sincere. I have not worked with him as yet but I believe Senator Pimentel that he is sincere in what he does and believes in. I am giving the same allowance to people I have questioned previously for their alliance with the Pandak but are not deemed to be her enemies.
As for the Bansot, I have long seen through her pretence and impropriety that even from the time she was elected to the Senate, I have questioned her motives and intentions. I was right as a matter of fact in criticizing her rise to the Philippine presidency not that I am a supporter of Erap because I am not, but I surely give Erap a point for trying for example to phase out the deployment of Japayukis to Japan during his presidency.
Oops, this should read: I am giving the same allowance to people I have questioned previously for their alliance with the Pandak but ARE NOW DEEMED TO BE HER ENEMIES!
It just entered my mind if the Bansot is asking Imelda if she was responsible indeed for the assassination of Ninoy Aquino, and if Imelda could help her assassinate Binay!
remember, da mor yu olweys meyk yurselp enggri, da mor kulubot wil apir in yur peys, kaya lib dem alown.
Ystakei,
“I surely give Erap a point for trying for example to phase out the deployment of Japayukis to Japan during his presidency”
Hmmm, interesting. All along, I thought every RP president was driving pinoys to leave the country, incl. entertainers who double as “Japayukis”.
Yup, si Erap lang ang nag-response na phase out na ang mga Japayuki. Nabawasan ang Japayuki nang naging presidente siya. Kaya itong mga recruiter kasama sa EDSA 2 laban kay Erap. Biglang triple ang ipinadala ng dalawang bugaw sa Japan na mapaalis siya.
Bakit ko ito alam? Mino-monitor kasi ng grupo ko ang tungkol sa mga Japayuki dahil sa lobby namin na “STOP THE JAPAYUKI” at nakikipagtulungan kami sa mga maykapangyarihan dito sa Japan. Awa naman ng Diyos, natauhan ang mga tao dito at kaya na-ban ang mga Japayuki since March 2005 nang ipairal ang bagong Immigration Law ng Japan.
Nakiki-cooperate naman si Erap noon kahit na ang tungkol sa remittance business ng anak niya na pinahinto niya nang malaman niyang bawal at itinuturing ng mga hapon na blackmarket na hindi dumadaan sa mga bangkong hapones na lisensyadong foreign exchange dealer.
In fact, may kaso dito ngayon ang PNB gawa ng mga illegal remittances na ito ng mga OFW na pinagsasamantalahan ng mga bangkong pilipino na hindi marunong sumunod sa batas at palaging nasa isip ang makalusot!
Utak bugaw at magnanakaw talaga itong mga nakaupo ngayon sa totoo lang.
Amazingly, Mrivera, wala akong peleges pa sa mukha kaya akala ng mga tao dito mga 40 pa lang ako! Baka iyong insultador na panay ang patutsada sa edad ko e mukhang mas matanda pa sa akin! 😛 Iyan ang nagagawa ngayon ng mga mamahaling face cream and lotion, collagen and all. Awa naman ng Diyos, can afford naman tayo! Walang problema sa buhay. Mahilig lang makialam sa problema ng mga pilipino! 😛
BTW, Mrivera, kung puede nga sasabihin kong 100 years old na ako kaya lang ayokong magsinungaling lalo na hindi naman kita sa mukha! Matanda pa ngang tignan iyong pinay na tinutulungan ko ngayon na nakunsumi sa asawa! 😛
Siyanga pala…hindi niyo ba babatiin ang Tsina at napaamo namin ang North Korea? Sabi ko nga sa inyo sa Tsina lang takot ang Nokor. Mabuhay ang Tsina!
nakakalungkot nga na isipin na masyado na tayong advance pati mga armas para sa mass desrtuction nagagawa narin ng ibang bansa gaya ng nokor, russia et al. eh saan pa nga ba ito inihahanda? kundi sa mga kalabang bansa tahimik nga tayong mga pilipino pero madadamay na rin tayo pag sumiklad ito! sana naman maagapan ng U.N. at mga kaalyadong organisasyon ang pagpapatigil nito bago uminit ang ginawa ng nokor na test!
Aba…marunong na pala mag noted si Japayuko. Nakikinig na kay amo. Maawa naman kayo kay Ate Ellen…nagpapagaling na nga dinadagdagan niyo pa ang problema niya. Hindi kayo tumulad sa akin na stick to issues lang. Ang tissue paper ko sticky…alam niyo ba?
