Pacquiao to fight Darlene Custodio in polls

pacman01.jpgBoxing champ Manny Pacquiao today said he is determined to enter politics in this coming May elections.

Pacquiao will contest the congressional seat currently held by Darlene Antonino-Custodio in the first district of South Cotabato.

Update: Custodio unfazed by Pacquiao’s planned candidacy.

Last week Pacquiao took his oath as member of Liberal Party, Atienza wing.

Earlier,Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos said Pacquiao has to transfer his registration from Manila to General Santos City for him to seek an elective position there. The law requires a voter to register in a place he would be voting six months before election day. Registration of voters ended Dec. 31, 2006.

A candidate is required to establish one year residency in a place where he would be seeking an elective position.

    pacquiao for congressman? nakupo! kalaking tanga. ano’ng maipapasa niyang batas at kung meron siyang bill na ihahain, paano niya ito ididipensa?

    manny, sayang ang karga mo sa balikat bilang GUARDIANS. kung hindi ka naging boxing champion, malabo kang maging miyembro dahil hindi ka papasa sa screening pa lang. members kasi ng security detail mo ang nag-sponsor sa ‘yo kaya ka nakargahan. kung sa akin ka dumaan, ni hindi ka makakalusot sa first stage pa lamang ng proseso.

    mas maige magboksing ka na lang kesa magpauto ka kay atienza!

  2. Oh dear!

    Good heavens – this can’t be real. How does Pacquiao intend to win? Punch his way to kingdom come?

    Ellen, is this a Marx Brothers’ comedy or something?

    Lu and hubby ain’t newcomers – they don’t have to do any shadow boxing to win.

  3. Mrivera Mrivera

    mananalo si pacquiao sa tulong ng mga GUARDIANS sa kanyang lugar na sigurado akong sambang hari ang pagkilala sa kanya dahil siyempre sa pera niya.

    tsk. tsk. tsk.

    kawawang kampeon. magaling sa taktika sa boksing pero hindi marunong ilagay ang sarili sa dapat niyang pagkalagyan. hindi kasi maabot ng kanyang pang-unawa na ginagamit lamang siyang pang-akit ng mga alagad ng lagim dahil sa kanyang pagiging sikat na boksingero.

  4. This is Inquirer’s report of interview with Pacquaio today when he accompanied Chavit Singson at the Comelec. (The company he keeps!!):

    Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao acknowledged the strong sentiment among his fans that he keep out of politics but said his plan to seek election is for his town mates in General Santos City who need his help.

    “I am aware of the [fans’] sentiment expressed over the Internet. Maybe they should also go to General Santos City and see how much help the people there need,” Pacquiao said in Filipino.

  5. The Arroyos probably are determined to break the hold of the Antoninos in South Cotabato politics. Talagang bastusan. They do not care what will happened to the province. All they care is to gain control.

  6. MR, are you saying Pacquiao is a member of Honasan’s Guardians?

  7. Mrivera Mrivera

    “I am aware of the [fans’] sentiment expressed over the Internet. Maybe they should also go to General Santos City and see how much help the people there need,” Pacquiao said in Filipino.

    okey, sige na. pero hindi ang pagpasok mo sa pulitika ang kasagutan dahil wala kang maitutulong sa kanila kung nasa kongreso ka kung saan lalabas kang isang sisiw sa gitna ng mga hayok na lawin. hindi mo puwedeng gamitin ang iyong mga kamao upang ipanalo ang anumang batas na iyong ihahain. mas makakatulong ka sa iyong mga kababayan kung magboboksing ka na lang kung saan ka nababagay at magagamit ang iyong kakayahan laban sa iyong katunggali.

    be sensible naman at imulat ang iyong mga mata sa tunay na layunin ng mga taong nagpupumilit na pumalaot ka sa pulitika.

  8. Ellen,

    The Antoninos are doing a good job there. If, as ever, nothing in this world is perfect, what can Pacquiao do better than the Antoninos.

    What’s happening – paatras talaga tayo ng paatras, parang sa Africa!

    Even Bangla Desh is progressing while Pinas with its US copycat of so-called “democratic principles”, we are constantly regressing.

    Chavit Singson, the local Capone and now, Pacquiao! I am appalled.

  9. I will ask my sis to go to New Manila and to volunteer in Darlene’s campaign team. After all, we have business concerns in Lanao del Sur (ok, it’s not Gen San pero di bale na lang!)

  10. Definitely, Pacquaio can’t do any better than the Antoninos. But that’s not the concern of Pacquiao’s handlers, the Arroyos and Atienza.

    They just want to eliminate opposition.

    Pacquiao doesn’t know that he is being used for other person’s evil agenda. He has been duped.

    I don’t know if I should pity him.

  11. Ellen, If Pacquiao wants to enter the political arena, that’s fine but he should start on a lower scale and learn the ropes, he MUST learn what governance is all about.

    Why doesn’t he stand for councilor position first.

    Ano ba naman yan!

    Fatso should be lynched for insisting in turning the nation into a Bastusan Republic.

    Baboy!

  12. Mrivera Mrivera

    ellen, i know him as a GUARDIANS (being recruited after winning world titles) but not certain which faction he belongs.

    honasan became a member only in the late 90’s, more than twenty years after the brotherhood was created to bind all combatant elements of the then four major services of the armed forces assigned in mindanao, including the INP.

    being a senator and a former military officer, he (honasan) was able to organize the Philippine GUARDIANS Brotherhood, Incorporated in 2000 which i helped establish chapters here in saudi arabia.

  13. As I said in the previous thread:

    Kung manalo yan, ano ang gagawin niyan sa Congress? Bubuntalin ang mga ka-debate niya doon?

  14. luzviminda luzviminda

    KAWAWA naman si Paquiao. Obvious naman na GINAGAMIT lang siya ng pekeng administrasyon para sa kanilang maitim na adhikain. Eto naman si Paquiao NAGPAPA-UTO!!!

  15. luzviminda luzviminda

    Paano kung MATALO si Paquiao sa kanyang susunod na laban? Magiging ‘mabango’ pa rin ba siya? O matuluyang ‘MALAOS’ ng wala sa oras? Iyan ang mahirap sa may ‘Utang-na-loob’ eh, NAPAPASUBO!!! Baka pagpustahan pa ang kanditatura ni Paquiao. Mababastos ang sinasabing ‘pambansang kamao’.
    Baka maging ‘dirty finger’ na lang!

  16. peacer001 peacer001

    Pacman is self-destructing . What a wrong move! Image nya is ‘idol ng bayan’ ngayon nagmukha siyang ‘galamay ni Glueria via Atienza’.

    Yang Glue-ria na yan ay talagang poisonous. Everything / every human being that this impaktita touches is destroyed.

    Kawawang Manny. Malaki pa naman respeto ko sa kanya as a boxer; at sa isang iglap naglaho respeto ko sa kanya. If I were Jinky or si Aling Pacquiao talagang pipigilan ko si Manny sa pagtakbo…at ano?! pagka-kongresista pa??? This is an insult of the House of Congress, mas lalo nilang hinahatak pababa yang house na yan, talagang bastusan.

    Attention to Manny’s handlers: Tigilan ninyo na si Manny! Ba’t ba gawin ninyo siyang tanga o loko-loko. What kinds of laws can Manny pass? Boxing laws? Suntukin na ninyo ang buwan, at kayo’y tamaan sana ng kidlat. Manny should stick to his ‘kamao ng bayan’ image, para hindi siya mawalan ng fans…at isa na ako dyan.

  17. jr_lad jr_lad

    as a foreign sportswriter says, you give manny any piece of paper to sign and he’ll readily sign it. ibig sabihin uto-uto. i remember one article of the late teddy benigno. he went to the house of many pacquiao for an appointment set by pacquiao’s adviser but when he arrived in manny’s house, the househelp told teddy many is still asleep and cannot be disturbed. napuyat sa sabong. teddy was so mad that he even wrote in his column no one did that to him not even the president. think what will be the behavior of congressman manny later.

  18. Last week, Pacquiao made Luis Villafuerte wait for several hours because he agreed to be a member of Kampi. All along pala he was taking his oath before Atienza. Ginawa niyang tanga si Villafuerte. Kung sabagay, buti nga.

  19. peacer001 peacer001

    Pacman is destroying his image…nagpapa-uto talaga!
    The tune of politics in the Philippines is really disgusting. There’s only one solution: thumbs down to all candidates allied to the pandak there in Malacanang. Surely and absolutely, the Philippines can’t move on with these galamays in power. The more ‘bastusans’ will be committed. To borrow what Etta Rosales had said, “there’s a hope crisis”, there’s apathy…at paano tayo magsisimula ulit??!! Patalsikin sila lahat by not voting for them. Vote straight UNO candidates from local to national posts. May pag-asa pa!

  20. peacer001 peacer001

    Ellen:

    Sorry, mukha akong nangangampanya…nangangampanya nga. Hindi ko na kasi masisikmura itong bansot team ni Glueria at sa mga bastusans na ginawa nila. Mabuhay ang mga kandidatong totoong makabayan! Halina pa-picture tayo kina kagalanggalang na A. Cayetano, Trillanes, Koko, at sa lahat na kandidato ng UNO…okay say Chizzzzzzz!!

  21. Anna, I don’t know if Lu’s husband (is he Edelbert) is mayor.

    At first, when I heard Manny Pacquiao was running as Mayor in General Santos, I felt pity for him. I felt he was only being used by Gloria & her political dogs.

    After today, my sympathy for the guy vanished when news broke out that Manny “..Pacquiao will contest the congressional seat currently held by Darlene Antonino-Custodio in the first district of South Cotabato.”

    Aside from being a sabungero, Manny Pacquiao is a boxer. Period. There does not appear to be anything in between the guys ears. To begin w/, it takes a Pacquiao-type of person to support a crook like Chavit Singson. Only a person w/ little–or not much–brain cells can be used to run against an Opposition candidate w/ a lot of brains !

    Pacman is all he really will ever be ! Nothing more.

    These dirty moves by Gloria is horrible, to say the least ! To paraphrase what the spokesperson for the Grand Coalition (a.k.a. UNO) said, Atty. Adel Tamayo: If we vote for a single Administration candidate, it only means we aare also voting to abolish the Senate. I agree w/ that 200% !

  23. timo timo

    d pa ba siya contento na maging peoples champ??sobra ba pera nya?maraming dyan nangangailangan ng tulong. d niya kailangan maging politico upang makatulong..i think better ask his trainer to quit while ahead..hindi na kasi makakatulong ang trainer nya kung nakalog na nang ulo ng atleta niya..poor manny fame has gone to his head

  24. BOB BOB

    Wala na tayong magagawa Kay Pacquiao…Marami ring inabot na suntok si pacman sa Ulo kaya di natin masisisi kung naalog na utak niya…..

  25. chi chi

    Arlene looks like a charming teenage girl. Pakyaw looks like a midget beast!

    Oh my golay! Pacquiao for Congress! Ano s’ya HILO!

    Luzviminda asked “Paano kung MATALO si Paquiao sa kanyang susunod na laban? Magiging ‘mabango’ pa rin ba siya?

    Hindi Luzviminda, isnabin na rin siya ng mga Pidal at Atienza kasi MABAHO na ang dating niya! At ang mga bumoto sa kanya ay mangingisay lahat sa pagsisisi dahil ang kanilang area ay lulumutin na!

  26. chi chi

    OK, Bob. I forgot na nakalog nga pala ang utak ni Pacquiao!

  27. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    This gambler of a boxer has grown too big for his boxing shorts. Run for Con-Ass, my eye. The guy is a double dealer. He signs up with one promoter and when another offers a better deal he signs up with the latter. And he’s been had many times by his handlers. This guy simply doesn’t have the brains.

    I’d love to see a debate between him and Darlene. Darlene will make mincemeat out of this guy.

    The Mafia Donya is really desperate. Super User talaga.

  28. One sports journalist said, they also advised Pacquiao against going into politics but sya raw talaga ang may gusto. He noticed that pacquiao is so thrilled being with VIPs, bigtime politicians.

    What do you call that, promdi syndrome?

  29. Poor Pacquiao. Guess the promdi syndrome, added to the effects of the punches in the ring, has taken a toll on poor Pacquiao.

    Anyway, he’s emancipated, he’s of legal age, vaccinated, eligible to vote so we should leave him be.

    The thing to do is to make sure that Fatso’s Bastusan Inc is stopped dead in their tracks.

    Darlene must win her seat back. With Gloria’s screwballs hanging around, they are capable of stealing ballot boxes, replace them with readily Gloria-filled ballots, intimidate voters, make the dead rise to vote, etc.

    Pacquiao is a given – let’s all give Gloria a whopping bollocking even if it means delivering a TKO to the poor pinas Chump, er, champ I mean.

  30. I caught an interview of Pacquiao a few weeks back. This arrogant dolt said that “Kapag ako ang tumakbo, siguradong talo kahit sino ang kalaban ko.” The nerve of this idiot.

    I know that the people will not vote for this guy even if he is that famous. In a survey conducted in Manila when rumors of his candidacy was ripe, a mere 3% said that they will vote for him. He knows what he is doing and that he is no uto-uto. He is thinking bigger than himself.

    After he loses in the elections, we can rename him “LAGAPAKYAW”.

  31. BOB BOB

    FYI. hindi graduate si pacquiao ng elementary…tanong niyo pa kay Buboy na trainer niya…

  32. Chabeli Chabeli

    The race is on. Like me, there are also those who do not like the complete 12-man Senatoriables of the Opposition. I still question the likes of Villar & Pangilinan. I get this feeling they may be the Trojan Horse. But, when I flip the other side of the coin, I also know that there are compromises to be made even in winning.

    I will vote of AT LEAST 8 of the Opposition candidates because if 8 win, the Opposition will control the Senate. I want the Opposition to win because I want the power returned to the people & I am against the abolition of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines.

    Vote for the Grand Coalition (a.k.a. UNO) & let’s show Gloria who is boss. The people.

    1-Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, III
    2-Alan Peter S. Cayetano
    3-Francis “Chiz” G. Escudero
    4-Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson
    5-John “Sonny” Osmeña
    6-Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel, III
    7-Sonia M. Roco
    8-Lt. Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes

    By the way, the Opposition needs to come up w/ 60 Congressional seats to win in the House..

  33. Chabeli Chabeli

    Ms. Ellen,
    I wanted to use the word, for lack of a better term, to describe Pacman as “Ignorate”. But I do like that word, “promdi syndrome.”

  34. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    It’s pretty clear. The Unity Ticket of Gloria accepts the fact that Gloria’s presence and blessings is a kiss of death. They don’t want her around in the hustings.

    According to their Campaign Manager, Reli German, their campaign strategy in the field is to hold small meetings only with the local officials. And only one selected senatorial candidate per area will speak for the other eleven. And they will not have Gloria campaigning with them in the provinces. Only sa mga miting de avances daw. Gloria daw prefers to focus on just governing. Tell that to the Marines.

    And they’re so scared of UNO’s spokesman Adel Tamano that they chose Tourism Secretary Ace Durano to be their spokesman. To match Adel’s appeal? Hah. If I were newcomer Adel, I’d be flattered. But what about Ace’s tourism projects? Sacrifice tourism to counter Adel’s appeal? But Ace can’t match Adel’s macho appeal. The battle of Adel and Ace. Abangan!

  35. joeseg joeseg

    Ipinoste ko kahapon ang english movies with Tagalog translation particularly referring to the movie entitled Gone in 60 Seconds? Ganyan ang mangyayari kay Money Pakyaw, Unang Round, Tulog!

    Si Darlene ay darling na masa sa kanyang ipinakitang paglaban kay gma during the impeachment. 24 years old, matalino at napakagandang bata Hindi siya pababayaan ng mga taga GenSan. Si MoneyPak, kukuwartahan lang ng mga alalay niya at pagdating eleksiyon, si Darlene ang iboboto. KO si MoneyPak, balik sa ring around the roses.

  36. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    How evils mind work! One thing about Philippines politics, a candidate doesn’t have to make a speech in front of the people, just say kamusta ka, doesn’t have to make promises or even debate the opponent(s), all Pacquiao has to do but smile and shake hands, and he will get by. If you could make an easy millions of pesos without getting bang-up in the ring, why not. Can you blame Pacquiao, certainly not. He’ll do ok for himself and of course that kidnapper mutineer Gloria is now grinning from ear to ear. The future has yet to be written, and perhaps we are judging Pacquiao even before he had a chance to prove himself in congress. But, if mutineer Gloria has a lot to do on Pacquiao running for Congress, then it’s predictable of what to expect on Pacquao in Congress, nada for the small people. It’s jsut I don’t have no respect to those that line themselve up with mutineer Gloria a known liar, cheat and thief.

    Surely, Pacquiao is a much proficient individual in the ring than I would think in Congress, as my personal observation or just ask Eric Morales of Mexico. He’s stepping in politics pre-maturely at the height of his boxing career, where he could make millions of dollars honorably and honestly. Now, he’d rather take an easy out of making millions on promises, by known liars of Malacanang, a mutineer herself without honor. Bad choice!

    I’m also guilty as our emotion are running high while professional boxer Pacquiao still not even yet to set foot in Congress. He might just surprise us all. It yet remain to be seen. I guess everyone deserve to prove himself or herself. We shall see!

  37. chi chi

    Phil,

    We were just talking of Mike Toledo here yesterday. Now, they replaced Mike Toledo with Ace Durano as unity team’s spookyman?! Huh! Someone must have picked up what we’re saying about Mikey the lightweight!

  38. Btw, Ellen, just read in the Inquirer that Reelectionist Senator Ralph Recto said the elections should go beyond the Arroyo-Estrada political rivalry.

    Dumbo! Then why is he clinging on to Gloria’s ugly skirt for his dear political life?

    Dumb, dumber and extremely DUMB.

  39. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    Beauty and the Beast!

    Darlene Custodio, such an innocent looking young girl as her picture above have shown. A smile of young honest girl without nothing to hide but a desire only to do good. I would trust her anytime than Pacquao and Mutineer Gloria combined, anyday. I would rather see her back in Congress, however Philippines politics is another story, anything could happen, and Darlene is just one opponent of mutineer fake Gloria that fake Gloria could do without in Congress.

    The Beauty has my vote!

  40. UNO or opposition should not only be reactive, they should be PROACTIVE too.

    Every time Gloria and her political mafia do something, hit back right away. You know just like what the Democrats did, i.e., everytime a Republican candidate went on the air with some mud, the Democrats hit back.

    The tactic has just been adopted by the Tory Party (in preparation for the next UK General Elections) as well as the UMP (Nicolas Sarkozy for French president).

    And it works!

  41. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    Yes, I remember the great columnist Teddy Benigno wanting to help Pacquiao. This chump was being had by his handlers and promoters. They were milking him dry.

    Teddy, a boxing afficionado himself, wanted to help Pacquiao and made an appointment with the guy so he could give him advice on how to manage his career. Teddy goes to see him on the day of the apppointment and the chump is still asleep and presumably never even left word with the househelp to wake him up before the dean of columnists arrives.

    You don’t do that to somebody offering to help you out of your career troubles. You don’t do that to Teddy. No President would even dare do that to Teddy. But this chump did. So he got a mouthful from Teddy’s column the following day.

    The ingrate had to apologize.

  42. When I say proactive, of course, UNO has got to prepare now, think and plan ahead of the mudslinging contest.

  43. peacer001 peacer001

    Saw on TV that Freddie Roach seems unhappy about Pacman joining politics. Sana iwanan nalang niya si Pacman kung ayaw makinig.

    3 very possible things that would happen to Pacman:
    1. Loss to Solis (natalo dahil kulang sa ensayo; mas pinili kasi ang politika)

    2. Loss to Custodio (dahil mas matatalino na voters ngayon; hindi rason ang kasikatan)

    3. Loss his money (dahil kinukurakot na income nya simula ngayon ng mga taong nagpapatakbo sa kanya)

    at ang nakakaawa, may pang-apat pa pala. Manny will lose his glory (tinangay kasi ni Glueria ang malinis niyang pangalan). AT magiging candidate siya to be the next Rolando Navarette, nawalan ng pansin.

  44. The higher they go, the harder the fall. Pacquiao actually might get the surprise of his life.

    Darlene can adopt the Muhammad Ali technic:

    Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee?

    Is that right? Can’t remember the exact words anymore.

  45. Chabeli Chabeli

    As we said yesterday, Mike Toledo was a spokesperson for a man who lost his seat. So instead, Team Unity opted for an Ace Durano. Nice try. But honestly, wouldn’t you believe an Adel over an Ace ?

  46. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    Yes, Chi. On ANC TV, Reli German told Adel that his counterpart on the Dis-United Comical Ticket would be Ace Durano. And saying it in a tone that says “Hah..meron rin kaming spokesman panglaban sa yo.”

    By the way, if you recall, it was Reli German who strategized the campaign image of Erap. “Erap Para sa Mahirap” was his creation. Can Reli’s skills as an image maker work for the administration’s comical ticket?

  47. Chabeli Chabeli

    Pacquiao joining the political fray is like him signing a blank check. Sayang, he signed off his fate.

    This could be Pacquiao’s greatest fight ever. Sadly, it may be his downfall.

  48. jojovelas2005 jojovelas2005

    Malamang nag gamble yan with Chavit nagpustahan sila na mananalo siya…magkano kaya pinusta niyan…

    Ang hirap niyan madalas after the fight mag try yan to speak english kahit may nakahandang translator…so if he wins magugulat tuloy ang buong sanlibutan …ito ba ang isang congressman ng pinas…ang gulo magsalita at walang ginagawa sa congress dahil yun training ng isang boxer minsan three months…bawal mag puyat baka pagnalipasan na naman kumain mapupunta na naman sa hospital..

    I blame Chavit, Atienza, at FG sila ang may pakana ng lahat ng ito..elimination talaga ng mga opposition ang gusto nila.

    Gusto ko si Darlene magaling na maganda pa!!!

    Tulungan dapat ng UNO si Darlene at ipaalam sa buong Gen. San na ang congressman ay lawmaker at hindi nagbibigay ng pera…magkano ba ang pina mimibigay ni Pacquiao isang daan piso at 5 kilong bigas?

  49. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    And how about this? Pechay was asked by Pinky Webb of ANC why he wanted to run for the Senate when he was spearheading a move last year to dissolve the Senate? His reply was that so he could be in a position to influence things inside the Senate.

    And Pinky asks “So you want to join the Senate so that you could dissolve it?”

    And the guy mutttered and mumbled some illogical incoherence to which my mind switched off whenever it hears idiocy. Pechay? Belongs to the vegetable plot.

  50. Chabeli Chabeli

    The challenging part is that the Administration’s ticket is a hard sell. The ones behind these candidates, Gloria & Mike Arroyo, are a hard sell to begin w/. Ang hirap ibenta ! Like flies to sh*t, look at what they were able to attract:

    -A Young Liar (Defensor)
    -A Crook (Singson)
    -A Vegtable (Pichay)
    -A Dancing Queen (Oreta)
    -A Comedian (Sotto)
    -3 Unknowns (Petilla, Magsaysay & Kiram )
    -3 Desperate Losers (Angara, Arroyo & Recto)
    -A Spice Boy Drop-Out (Zubiri)

    Now, does that look like a winning ticket ? According to Gabby Claudio (ABS-CBN News web), political adviser of Gloria, “..he is confident that the administration’s Team Unity will win nine of the 12 Senate seats..” Kakatawa no ?

  51. Gabby Claudio should shut up – he’s always in the fringes, the real Rasputin if you ask me.

    He was there during the term of FVR and was forever massaging the batok of Pichay.

  52. chi chi

    Phil,

    “Can Reli’s skills as an image maker work for the administration’s comical ticket?”

    Am sure it won’t. Reli is already a ‘has-been’! Besides, his products are unsalable!

  53. Chi,

    Re “Reli is already a ‘has-been’!”

    When Gloria will bleed, drain him dry, and when she’s through with him, especially if her dogs lose in the upcoming dog fight, he’ll have to look for another job.

    However, if he can create a winning formula for him, he will get an envoy post.

    As you know, Foreign Affairs Dept has become the tambakan of Gloria has beens.

  54. chi chi

    Hahahah! Gulay na comic pa itong si Pechay!
    Thanks for another good laugh, Phil.

  55. Chabeli Chabeli

    Philippine Vigil,

    Maybe I can say this now..the evening after the 2004 Presidential elections, I remember going to the HQ of Gloria where Gabby Claudio was stationed. When my hubby & I entered, I still remember distincly, he shook my hubby’s hand & said, “Sir, mananalo po tayo by 1M..” I actually was amazed & thought to myself, “Wow! our counting machines are really fast na.” Only to find out that Gloria’s camp already knew the outcome before counting ! That was the beginning of the end of my support for the Rat (Gloria) ! Several months after, I left the country & my hubby resigned from gov’t. We now travel back & forth.

  56. joeseg joeseg

    Siguro you read what happened to Manny Pacquiao before he fought Morales the last time. He signed a contract with Oscar de la Hoya without consulting his current managers and in the absence of his lawyers. Tapos, nang sabihin sa kanya ng kanyang handlers na he is stil has a live contract with another group, kamuntik na siyang ma-breach of contract. Mabuti hindi na itinuloy ni dela Hoya.

    The pundits were one in saying that MoneyPak being non-schooled, madali siyang mauto-uto. Ganyan ang nangyari sa kanya ngayon. I think about a dozen of our known columnists warned him to stay out of politics if he would like to stay as a champion.

    My reading is he considered himself unbeatable, una, dahil sa kanyang kasikatan at ikalawa, dahil mayroon siyang pera to sustain a campaign. Hindi rin siya nakontento sa mga paghanga at papuring nang tinanggap.

    MoneyPak no doubt wants more. Hindi siya magkakamali sa pinasukan niya ngayon. Mura, mura at katakot-takot na mura ang aabutin niya buhat sa mga taong noon ay humanga sa kanya.

    Toney Cuevas, pahiram

    It’s the Beauty and the Beast sa GenSan!!!

  57. Chabeli,

    I don’t blame you and your hubby.

    Who would ever imagine that Gloria COULD BE SOOOO garapal and so callous and so DISHONEST.

    I mean, one would think that there’s a limit to everything but she has set no limit to everything evil.

    I know Gabby Claudio way back from when he was still political or Congress liaison officer for FVR. I thought then, this young man has something between his ears, I mean good things only to swallow my words after 2001.

    It was the ever “charming Gabby” who set up meeting with the “right people”, including SC Tony Carpio to potential foreign business investors.

    It was Gabby who introduced me to Pichay who was then governor (I think). He also introduced me to Letty Shahani.

    The guy is a FIXER.

  58. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    PV,

    You hit the nail on the head. The guy is a FIXER. Works behind the scenes, on the fringes, in the shadows, behind the walls, under the floors…

  59. Chabeli Chabeli

    Philippine Vigil,

    Yes, I agree “The guy is a FIXER.”

    I heard that his wife left him for a Dancing Instructor (DI). He, now, is also w/ a DI.

  60. Gabby Claudio used to be a fixed item early in the morning almost every day in JdV’s ‘mansion’ in Magnolia street, wheeling and dealing…

    this is just like Lapid vs Binay and this time Pacquiao vs Custudio…proxy war na naman…popularity na lang ang ilalaban ng Admin para matalo ang magaling na mayor at congresswoman.

    Not worried sa Makati dahil mahihirapan si Lapid sa Makati ang biggest concern is Custodio…

    Saan ba galing si Custodio at anong city? Ano po ba ang lungsod na sakop ni Darlene?

    Good for you, Chabeli.
    Mas masarap mag-biyahe kesa sa suportahan si Glue, heheh!

  63. Gen San I think. She replaced her Mum in the Lower House. Her Mum, Lu Antonino (the best legs I’ve ever seen in Congress) was author of the bill on women thinggy – can’t remember the title of the bill that was passed into law.

    Maganda yong mga sinabi mong three possible things that would happen to Pacquio. Mayroon pa akong naisip na tatlo, if you will allow.

    1. Loss of memory
    (dahil sa sobrang bugbug na inabot sa boksing, pagkatalo sa election at murang tatanggapin buhat sa kanyang fans noon).

    2. Luslos
    (karaniwang sakit na inaabot ng babaero at ayaw bigyan ng sustento ang kanyang naanakan)

    3. Lusyang
    (ang magiging hitsura ni MoneyPak after election)

    A cesspool of depraved cravens Malacanang denizens are. What dark malodorous forces reside in those shadowy dank corridors. It’s almost as if the malignant spirit of the resident duo were acting as a magnet to attract these characters and even transform the good spirits into evil ones.

  67. Here’s an anecdote:

    Way back in 1994, girls/waitresses serving in Shangri-la hotel lobby used to kneel in front of the clients to serve them their drinks.

    I was frankly put off seeing that kind of submisive demeanour even if only for show. I thought it was an absolutely idiotic practice. I talked to Lu about it and asked her to accompany me. I told her that the practice was unacceptable.

    Our male friends were pissed off coz they said, it was fun to be served in that manner. Lu (and Sandy Ocampo) promised to talk to the managers… Not long after that, the practice of waiting on clients kneeling down was scrapped in Shangri-la Hotels in Pinas.

    Chi,
    Nakakapagod na rin, Chi, to travel back & forth. That is why I want stability to reign in the Philippines once again. The Philippines is better off w/o Gloria. I’d rather make sacrifices in the Philippines knowing that it will be for the better. But, while Gloria is squatting in Malacañan, she will continue to destroy the moral fiber of the country. It’s not worth occupying the same space as her.

    Kawawang Pacquiao. Kung anong lakas ng kanyang kamao siya namang hina ng utak niya!!! Hindi ba niya alam na ginagamit lang siya ni bansot at Atienza para makahatak ng boto ang mga kandidato ni gloria.? eh mabuti pa ang Ina ni Pacquiao, marunong mag-isip. Si el Jugador Sabit Singson nga eh garapalan ang paggamit kay Manny Pacman. My goodness! Kahit lahat ng lahi ni Pacquiao ay dalhin ni Sabit Singson sa kanyang kampanya, walang boboto sa kanya. Anong akala ni Sabit, mga gago ang tao??

    Sorry na lang sa mga senatorial candidates na sumama sa ticket ni gloria, the cheater, the liar and the stealer. Wala kayong makukuhang boto sa akin at pamilya ko. Mga hinayupak kayo!!! Mga kampon ng reyna ng kadiliman. “Lipad Darna, Lipad”, Takbo, Vilma, Bilis” Manigas ka man, hindi ko iboboto si Ralph. Mga taksil sa bayan, kalaban kayo ng demokrasya. Ralph ay isang malaking Disgrasya!!!

    “Imelda Marcos’ nephew gunning for Leyte’s seat in Congress”, a 02/12/2007 Inquirer report.

    “TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines — A nephew of former first lady Imelda Marcos, who is seeking a congressional seat of Leyte’s first district, would likely run unopposed.

    Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, son of former Leyte governor “Kokoy” Romualdez, said President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo convinced incumbent Representative Remedios Petilla not to seek reelection.

    “I feel overjoyed now that she was persuaded by the President not to run. This would not only benefit me personally, but (also) our people,” Romualdez said in an interview.”

    ..And speaking of FIXERS, from what I hear, this Ferdinand Romualdez is a PCGG fixer. Charming man, but a fixer nontheless.

  71. jojovelas2005 jojovelas2005

    okay na search ko na si Darlene pala rep. ng South Cotobato , 1st District.

    City: General Santos, Municipal: Polomok, Tampakan, Tupi.

    Maganda din pala ang performance niya sa House:
    http://www.congress.gov.ph/members/search.php?id=antonino

    Sabi ni Pacquiao di naman pala siya gagawa ng batas sa interview niya sa GMA…vote (taas kamay) lang naman daw siya sa magagaling na lawmaker…parang Lapid ang dating…gugulpihin niya yun mga nag debate na nagtatalo..hahamunin niya ng suntukan pag napikon na siya o pag tuwing may late session mag “beer muna tayo”..

    Crush ko talaga itong si Darlene Maganda na matalino pa.

    Huwag ninyong maliitin ang kamay ni Paquiao,mallit ng nga ang utak,minamaliit n’yo pa.
    Pag manalo iyan–iyan eh,kung manalo–relax lang! Sa tuwing session may ipapasang batas iyan,iyon nga lang mga batas na galing kay fatsu.Gagawin pa ngang Speaker of the House iyan,hindi na gavel ang gagamiting pamukpok baka mabali katulad ng kay Mr.noted,kamao na lang niya.Ano,laban kayo?-Horse racing,kailangan lahat ay tataya.Kailangan lahat ng city ay may casino,kailangan lahat ng babae pagdating 21 compulsory draft mag-OFW,Mga kabataan lahat matutong mag-shabu,Mga P.E. sa school kailangan matutong mag-boksing para maka graduate ng elementary para hidi maloko sa pag-pirma ng kontrata.Mga sundalo kailangan naka paa,magsuot ka ng bota pag heneral ka na.Kailangang lahat ng nursing graduate may kodigo pag mag-take ng board exam para makapag-abroad agad.Mga bata kailangan magtinda ng balut o kaya’y sigarilyo sa kalye bago pumasok sa school,pag hindi wala kang isang kilong bigas.
    Kailangan si Lozano o si Marcoleta lang ang mag-hain ng impeachment complain laban kay Gloria.—-Maganda ang mga nakalaang batas na ihahain niya.–May reklamo ba?Wala ng reklamo baka ma-upper cut pa kayo.

  75. Chabeli Chabeli

    Just for laughs about Chavit..thought of sharing this hilarious article in the pro-Gloria, Manila Standard Today:

    “Recto tops Senate race, if wealth is only factor”
    By Joyce Pangco Pañares

    “IF ELECTIONS are won by money, Senator Ralph Recto will top the polls in May.

    That’s because Recto is the wealthiest among the candidates in the administration ticket, with total assets worth P237,112,212.58, government records show.

    And the poorest? Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis Singson, with a measly net worth of P1.2 million, according to the last Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth that he filed in 2000.”

    Hahahahah ! Who believes in this sh*t on Chavit ?

  76. artsee artsee

    Manny Fuckman. Sige, tumakbo ka. Kahit na manalo ka, hindi ka pa rin igagalang ng mga tao. Iyan ang mga dirty tricks ng Malacanang. Inilalagay nila ang mga sikat na personalidad para kalabanin ang opposition. Si Lito Lapid sa Makati laban kay Binay. Si Manny laban kay Darlene at marami pang iba. Ang mas nakakasuka pa ay si Imelda at kanyang kampon. Bigla na lang lumitaw ang isa pang Cayetano. Sino siya? Guguluhin lang niya ang boto si Alan. Pero sa panig ng administration, iba ang situasyon ni Joker Arroyo. Kapag bumoto ang mga tao sa kanya, ibig sabihin binoboto nila si tiyanak.

  77. Who’s the owner of Manila Standard Today again? Razon, aint it?

    Was that in the comics or joke for today section of the newspaper?

  78. Chabeli Chabeli

    Philippine Vigil,
    Yes, Manila Standard Today is owned by Ricky Razon.

    Hahahah, the article should have been “in the comics or joke for today section of the newspaper” !!!

  79. Chabeli Chabeli

    Artsee,

    Dahil desperadong desperado na si Gloria, kung ano anong dirty tricks ginagawa !

    This May election is the one huge challege for her political survival !

  80. artsee artsee

    Manang Chabeli (naaalala kong babae ka pala), umpisa lang iyan ng administration. Hindi pa masyadong ginagalaw ang pera. Kapag umpisa na ang mainit na kampanya, maraming katarantaduhan pang gagawin. May ugnayan ba itong si Ricky Razon kay PNP Director Razon? Kamag-anak siguro. Itong si bagong hirang na DND Sec. na si Ebdane, grandmaster daw ng Mason. Alam niyo naman ang mga Mason, isang malaki at mainpluensang fraternity group. Mag-ingat tayo sa mga ka-brod niya at iyan ang mga ilalagay niya sa puwesto.

    Chabeli,

    “And the poorest? Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis Singson, with a measly net worth of P1.2 million, according to the last Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth that he filed in 2000.””

    1.2M pesos ha! Ano, mayaman pa ang bloggers dito kesa kanya? Unbelievable, F*&&^%$ shit! Kaya pala, he’s running under Glueria’s ticket for P100M. hahahah!

  82. The local elections should definitely be the focus this May. And the fight in GenSan is just one of the many battlegrounds we should all be interested in.

    In a perfect world, Pacquiao will lose, he will move back to boxing and keep winning, and the May election will be fair, honest, clean, and without bloodshed…

    Let’s be vigilant in our watch…

  83. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    hindi ako magugulat kung manalo si pacquiao.
    ang boboto sa kanya ay mga mahihirap na walang
    alam. basta sikat, boto agad.

    isang halimbawa – si FPJ
    walang karanasan pero nanalo

    kailan gigising ang pinoy.

  84. Hindinapinoy,

    Compared to Pacquiao, FPJ is still 100 times better. FPJ had his own companies…

    Pacquiao, however, has never even been able to manage his own boxing negotiations..

  85. artsee artsee

    Ang cute talaga ni Darlene ano? Matagal ko nang crush iyan. Mabigat na kalaban si Pacquiao. Nasa kanya ang kasikatan at salapi. Sa ganitong laban, higit na kailangan natin tulungan si Darlene. Ang kanyang campaign slogan ay dapat “Darlene of the People” at si Manny Pacquiao naman ay “Manny Fuckyao”.

  86. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    Re:Majority sa pinoy iboboto kung sino ang sikat;

    Bagay nga sa iyo ang pangalan mo na hindinapinoy,noon yon ng pilipino ka pa na ang ibinoboto ng tao kung sino ang sikat.Nasa 20th centeury na tayo.Sa Pilipinas kahit na bago pa lang panganak ay may hawak na ng cellphone at nag te-text na kahit hindi pa nakapag grade one.
    Kaya nga iyong mga walang pambili ng cellphone ay nag-iisnatch para makasabay sa uso.
    Matagal ng gising ang mga Pilipino pagdating sa pulitika at kung sino ang iboboto nila,kaso lang pagdating sa comelec ay maraming salamangka.
    Nabago na ang mundo ng mga sikat.Hindi na sila pinapansin.Kaya nga mga foreigner na ang mga telenovela at mga artista.
    Sino ba si Pacquiao?pinapanood lang ng mga pilipino yan pag may laban sa Las Vegas.Mga iba nga ipinapanalanging matalo siya para maalis ang yabang.Ito pusta ko,sa darating nitong laban niya marami ng inis sa kanya sa pagsabak niya sa pulitika ang pusta ng tao sa kabila.
    Kaya’t baguhin mo na ang pangalan mo,nakakainis tuwing nakikita ko ito sa Blog ni Ellen.
    HindinaPinoy.bakit?nahihiya ka bang amining pilipino ka.Baka isa ka ring Amerikanong hilaw.

    Cocoy,
    isa pang tanong:
    bakit ang tawag mo sa OFW sa amerika ay amerikanong hilaw? pero ang mga OFW sa middle east, africa at iba pa ay mga bayani ang tawag? ang huling alam ko, kahit ang mga pilipino sa amerika, nagpapadal rin ang dollars sa pilipinas.

    Baka ikaw si Tiburcio na naging Ted
    Juan na naging John
    Pedro na naging Peter
    Jose na naging Joe
    Ang pangalan ko ay Francisco,hindi naging Frank,kaya cocoy.
    O ikaw si Maria na naging Mary.
    Iyan malinaw ang sagot ko sa tanong mo.

  92. The Pidals actually know Pacman cannot win unless he puts all his millions to the Pidal election campaigns to prop up even the other candidates that Madame Burot has invited to join her bandwagon with a promise of at least a hundred thousand pesos. Oreta and Sotto are reportedly getting more as the Burot thinks that they have a clout over the supporters of the Opposition team still.

    One does not have to be a genius to know that Pacman is actually being made a milking cow here especially when we all know that the Madame Burot in fact has even wanted a Constitution barring all non-collegiate candidates from running. Pacman does not even have a grade school diploma for that matter.

    This Pacman admitted in an interview with a Japanese boxing promoter when he came to Tokyo a year a half ago. He said his US promoter was encouraging him to get a high school certificate but he actually had to make sure first to get an elementary school diploma!

    And he knows his limits as a matter of fact, but he must have been pushed to his limits and the air must have gone to his brains to think that he can huddle the grave and serious responsibilities of being a representative of his district in Congress with his millions after seeing the example of Iggy Pidal who does nothing but play fiddle to his brother Mike, and do chorus with his brother and nephew when they sang “P—ina mo, Cayetano!”

    Anak ng tipaklong. Ano ito? Baboyan na talaga? Wala na bang pagmamalasakit ang mga pilipino talaga sa bansa nila at nasisikmura nila ang ganitong paglapastangan sa niyuyurakang dangal ng bansa nila? Heaven forbid!

  93. jojovelas2005 jojovelas2005

    Sabi ni Pacquiao sa interview niya sa GMA di naman daw sa gagawa ng batas …taas lang daw ang kamay niya o vote lang daw siya (parang Lito Lapid ang dating).

    Hindi tao ang nagudyok para tumakbo sa pagiging Congressman ayon sa kanya mga partido daw ang nagudyok.

    Sabi niya sa Congress daw lagi ang awayan..look who’s talking para siyang hindi boksingero every three months may kaaway.

    Akala niya siguro happy kaming mga pay per viewer dito sa US na kasama niya si Chavit o FG sa mga laban niya…no WAY!!!

    Heto ang profile ni Custodio http://www.congress.gov.ph/members/search.php?id=antonino

  94. Pacman: “I am aware of the [fans’] sentiment expressed over the Internet. Maybe they should also go to General Santos City and see how much help the people there need,” Pacquiao said in Filipino.
    ******

    Susmaryosep. This guy (I was going to use the word “idiot” when I remembered I shouldn’t make mura for the sake of the UNO lineup as it is the least I can do not being able to vote in the Philippines) is talking nonsense because to help his provincemate, all that he needs to do is buy lands in his province and have them cultivated, etc. by those who want to share his wealth.

    The truth is Pacman can ask members of our church in Mindanao how they are helped by some farm projects being implemented by our church for the welfare and interests of our members even with the help of some missionaries sent there to help them be self-reliant and self-sufficient. He actually does not need to get into politics to do the things he wants done if he is sincerely for helping the poorest of his provincemates.

    Sinong niloloko ni Pacman? He must be too naive to think that he has the capacity to be a good Congressman merely on the prodding of the swindlers at the palace by the murky river now in the process of swindling him of his millions!

    Maghunosdili ka Pacman! Kung talagang maka-Dios ka, hindi ka sasama sa mga magnanakaw na sinungaling pa! And how can this guy claim that God is with him when he makes gambling likewise as his profession. Does he not know that God condemns anything that corrupts that gambling does?

    God forgive him for he knows not what he does, or does he?

  95. Chi,

    Maniwala ka! Protected ang mga kita ni Chabit sa gambling, etc. sinong may sabing mas marami pa tayong pera sa kaniya? Bet nga niyan sa laban ni Pacman according to my source pinakamaliit ang $250,000. Ganoon din iyong mamang tabatsoy. In fact, Pacman said that he owes it to the Pidals that he can bring home his million earnings from the US kasi sila na ang nag-aasikaso ng pagpasok ng pera niya without BIR hassle. Kung baga, right now, with Malacanang connection and that he has the hotline of the Madame Burot, safe ang kita niya sa boxing from those leeches at the BIR. Same with Chabit, I believe. Kinikiliti nila ang mag-asawang baboy with their greenbucks and brownbucks! Ikaw na ang maging Pidal!

    But when I think of what happened to my uncle, sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, may araw din sila!

  96. Schumey: I caught an interview of Pacquiao a few weeks back. This arrogant dolt said that “Kapag ako ang tumakbo, siguradong talo kahit sino ang kalaban ko.” The nerve of this idiot.
    *****

    Did he really say that? Aba nagmana na siya doon sa mga Pidals na nang-uuto sa kaniya ha?

    But this I can say to Pacman if he indeed prays to a true God. Who can go against a sincere prayer for Darlene? I know God will help her because she is clean! Tignan lang natin kung ano ang magagawa ng milyon ni Pacman.

    Remember this, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” (Prov.6:16-19)

    His arrogance, Schumey, in fact is already a transgression.
    Tignan lang natin kung sino ang pakikinggan ng Poong Maykapal!

  97. cocoy cocoy

    Hindinapinoy:
    Hindi ako ang tumawag niyan na Amerikanong hilaw.Tanungin mo si Yatakei.Kung binabasa mo ang mga posting ko dito ay malalaman mo.Ipinagtatangol ko nga sila.Balikan mo ang mga sinulat ko at malalaman mo.
    Mamili ka ng rice cooker kasi.Kahit botan ang isaing mo masarap.

  98. Oops, this should read: Tignan lang natin kung sino ang pakikinggan ng Poong Maykapal! Iyong kasama ng magnanakaw na sinungaling pa at bugaw na walang alam kundi magsugal o iyong matinong abogada na ang nais lamang ay maglingkod sa bayan?

  99. Pacman should not think that serving the Pidals is the same as serving the Philippines. Diyan na lang kitang-kita na wala siyang alam! Tignan lang natin kung mananalo pa siya maging sa boxing!

  100. chi chi

    Yuko,

    Pag hindi nanalo si Pakyaw, he’ll end up a pauper. Naubos na ng Pidal ang kanyang milyunes. Will serve him right for not protecting the products of his sweat and blood. And pandidirihan na siya ng bansot! Bobo!

  101. Ellen: Pacquiao doesn’t know that he is being used for other person’s evil agenda. He has been duped.
    *****

    He is definitely being duped. My suspicion is he is also being cajoled to give his millions for this campaign with the coffers not really yielding much, not much revenues in fact from the OFWs who are reluctant to send their earnings with lower exchange rates, etc. so the burots at the palace by the murky river can pay those they have promised to pay 100,000 pesos (or is it 1.5M pesos) for joining the united administration.

    Kawawang inutil, malalagas ang kita niya sa boxing! By the time the election is over, tuyot na siya and with no proper training during the months that he is on the campaign trail, he will not be in a condition to fight and try to recover his loses in this campaign. You bet, I say “kawawa” but I don’t pity him. Baka duraan ko pa siya!

  102. Naku Yuko, ingat ka pag nakita mo siya ulit!

    Sabi mo, “Baka duraan ko pa siya!”

    OK yan pero sabay takbo…

  103. Pacman does not need to be in politics to help the poor. Kung talagang gusto niyang tumulong maraming paraan. Point is plastik din ang ungas. Tignan mo naman ang asta ng nanay niya ngayon habang ang maraming pilipino ay nagugutom.

    May pinapunta ako sa kanila para humingi ng tulong as a matter of fact. Hindi daw nila pinansin even when the child who was supposed to be helped was dying and at the brink of death! Kaya nawalan ako ng gana sa kaniya.

  104. PV,

    I have a black belt in Judo! Walang sinabi ang suntok niya. Malakas lang naman iyon kapag balot ng maraming bandage ang kamay niya. Ang bigat niyon kapag nakabalot sa totoo lang. Otherwise, lame duck siya!

    But you know me, kapag hindi ko gusto ang tao, work or no work, ayokong makita! Baka masuka ako!

  105. Come to think of it. Pacman is revealing a lot with his actuations and silly reasonings that he can be a good Congressman by merely having his millions! Is that what this Congress of the Philippines is being measured with? Pera and not service to the people? No wonder hindi nga umaasenso ang bansang iyan!

    Sorry, folks, for saying this but “Thank God, I am Japanese!”

  106. Hehehe! I know you will take the necessary precaution if and when you want to make dura on the fellow.

    Anyway, we gotta ask friends in GenSan to watch out.

    Fatso is capable of pulling off dirty punches to make his manok win.

  107. PV: Btw, Ellen, just read in the Inquirer that Reelectionist Senator Ralph Recto said the elections should go beyond the Arroyo-Estrada political rivalry.

    ******

    But PV, it is because Erap does not want to baboy this election into a silly Erap-Gloria rivalry that he has asked his son to withdraw his bid for the Senate. Para mapahiya rin si Tatad, who is probably trying to endear himself now to the Bansot, who is in turn being amused by the Imeldific in the vain hope that the Bansot will give her back her jewelries.

    Gosh, mamamatay na jewelries pa rin niya ang iniintindi at hindi ang kapakanan ng bansa!

    Anyway, tuloy ang laban!

    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!
    PAG-ASA NG MGA PILIPINO, HAWAK NI CAYETANO!
    STOP THE GUTOM! VOTE STRAIGHT UNO!

  108. I know, PV. A friend in Negros lost because the Pidals paid off even his own campaign managers. Sayang! Magaling pa naman! Hindi naman siya tinulungan ng mga OFWs he tried to help get their right to vote! Kilala din siya ni Ellen.

    Dito iyan mananalo ang magagaling. Hindi puede ang lagay at suhol!

    On the other hand, with the new breed of dedicated candidates like Cayetano, Escudero, Pimentel III, Aquino III, Trillanes and even Lacson, sa palagay ko, may pag-asa pa ring magbago ang Pilipinas.

    This election is crucial for this time, I know we will see a different breed of voters likewise. Malaking inspiration itong mga isinusulong ng UNO as a matter of fact sa mga kabataan.

    For all you know, PV, there are lots of them willing to go hungry and die for country. Magandang ipaalam sa mga pilipino in fact iyong kasaysayan ng lolo ni Chiz Escudero.

    I majored in history as a matter of fact, but I’m learning more from the interviews I translate for documentaries on historical events in the Philippines especially in connection with Japan than from the silly books copied from some reports submitted to the US government at the turn of the 20th century when the US embarked on its imperialistic adventure.

    One such interview was the one done with members of the guerrilla movement in WWII that I understand Chiz Escudero’s grandfather played a major role. He organized his fellow soldiers and founded the guerrilla movement in the Philippines.

    No, the Japanese TV crew did not interview any of the Escuderos. The information came from the dying members of the WWII guerrilla movement who are not being paid well for services to their country.

    Buti pa nga ang tatay ko at mga kapatid niya who served with the USAFFEE, they got US citizenship, due pension and a right to be buried in the national cemetery for heroes in the USA. My father opted though to be buried with my brother in a private cemetery.

    Tignan mo naman sa Pilipinas, kahit iyong traydor nakalibing sa “Libingan ng mga Bayani” ngayon! Suka, suka, suka!

  109. Chi, Joeseg, Alitaptap:

    Paki-naman o. I need cliche and slogans for the other UNO candidates!

    Gawa na namin ang clickers for Trillanes and Cayetano. Nag-iisip pa ako para kay Kokoy Pimentel. Golly, tumanda na siya! When I first saw him in the early 90’s ang bata pa niya. Like father, like son iyan! Di tulad ni Raffy na kasiraan sa pangalan ng lolo niya! Ironically, doon sa kalyeng ipinangalan sa lolo niya maraming mga racket, swindling at dayaan ng diploma!!! Susmaryosep!

    Manny Pacquiao may not fit to run for public office due to brain damage or injuries accumulated over years of boxing. Hard punches to the head may sustain brain damage. His popularity is a plus factor to win a congressional seat, but, what he can do or offer to his constituency after an election victory.

  111. HNP and Cocoy, stop the personal iringan. Get back to the issue: pacquaio versus Darlene Custodio.

  112. Yuko, you said, ” A friend in Negros lost because the Pidals paid off even his own campaign managers. ”

    You are referring to Jun Lozada, former diplomat who served as congressman in Pontevedra, Negros Occidental? Yes, it’s now Iggy Arroyo’s turf.

  113. PV, Chabeli, re:”Heh, Chabeli, our dear friend babe you know who is gonna be in there fixing things too.”

    Are you referring to Babes Romualdez? What’s his connection with Loren?

  114. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    Pacquiao said that he could not ignore the repeated urgings of his friends and townmates in General Santos City, South Cotabato to run for an elective position.

    “And after much consultation, we decided it is better to run as representative of my district rather than as Mayor of the city,” he told reporters.

    “I will promote peace, help with getting more children go to school, espouse more access to medicines,” said Pacquiao, who dropped out of school as a boy. He helped support himself and his impoverished family by loading baggage at a public market and engaging streetside boxing for a fee.

    Hindi namandiguro ganoon kabobo ang mga botante ng first district ng South Cotabato na ipagpapalit nila ang sa ngalan ng popularidad ang hahawak ng kinabukasan at patuloy na pag-unlad ng kanilang lalawigan ay ipapasakamay ng isang boksingero.

    Mayroon ngang kasabihan na kapag narating mo na ang pinakamatayog na antas ng buhay ang susunod noon ay ang iyong paglubog. Hindi nangangahulugan na kahit kilala si na si Pacquiao bilang world champion ay sasabak na siya sa politika na WALA SIYANG KAALAM-ALAM.

    Baka naman marinig muli natin ang isa pang Lito Lapid nang sinabi niyang “Hindi ako makikipag-debate kay Mayor Binay. Ano ba naman ang ilalaban ng isang high school graduate?”

    Hindi naman siguro ganoon kabobo ang mga botante ng first district ng South Cotabato na ipagpapalit nila ang sa ngalan ng popularidad ang hahawak ng kinabukasan at patuloy na pag-unlad ng kanilang lalawigan at ipapasakamay ng isang boksingero.

    Not surprisingly, some of the current representatives are also being regarded as mere “stand-ins” while their respective clans’ more seasoned members cool their heels because of the three consecutive terms limit.

    These include Darlene Magnolia Antonino-Custodio (1st district, South Cotabato), who replaced her mother Luwalhati; Michael John Duavit (1st district, Rizal), who now has the seat of father Gilberto; Elenita Milagros Ermita-Buhain (1st district, Batangas), who took over the slot of father Eduardo; Felix William Fuentebella (3rd district, Camarines Sur), who replaced father Arnulfo; Vincent Garcia (2nd district, Davao City), who has taken over father Manuel; Soraya Jaafar (Tawi-Tawi), who replaced father Nur; and Aleta Suarez (3rd district, Quezon), sitting in place of husband Danilo.

  118. I missed it on TV but Inquirer has a photo of Chavit being accompanied by Pacquaio and Batangas governor Armand Sanchez to the Comelec. You know of course that Armand Sanchez is the Bong Pineda of Batangas.

    The company Pacquiao keeps!

  119. Yes, Ellen, I was referring to Jun Lozada. Sayang na sayang ang mamang iyan. He was a great asset to the OFWs, whom I expected would help propel his candidacy. Pero wala. I was hoping they would be more matured politically than the voters in the Philippines, pero wala rin pala.

    Masipag at dedicated ang taong iyan. But siguro mabuti na rin kasi wala namang utang na loob iyong mga pinagsisilbihan pala niya. Tumakbo na lang siya sa lugar niya where he resides presently. Baka may pakinabang pa.

    He’s one guy who should be propped up by the OFWs as a matter of fact dahil talaga namang masipag and most of all, willing to learn for the sake of the people he serves. I liked what he did for his country and people as a matter of fact especially when he was in Congress. Golly, nababoy talaga ang politics kahit sa probinsiya nila because of the baboy Pidals!

    Lalong gutom siguro ang Negroes ngayon. Come to think of it, but it is still being advertised around the world like some African state in chaos ala-Darfur!!!

  120. Ellen: The company Pacquiao keeps!
    *****

    Parang ganito iyan, “You feed me, I feed you!” Chabit is always at Pacman’s fight not really because he is loyal to Pacman but more because he is loyal to himself! Kailangan niyang protektahan ang bet niya! 250,000 dollars na bet hindi iyan biro!

    The Pidal guy also bets the same amount according to my informant. Iyong hotel nila may nagbabayad din for some favor of course!

  121. Tignan lang natin kundi nila ibasura si Pacman pag naubos ang milyon niya. Pero sabi ni Pacman, hindi daw mauubos ang pera niya kasi may kontrata pa siya sa SMC na babayaran siya until he dies, may educational trust fund pa ang mga anak niya! Tignan mo naman ang nanay niya ngayon! Lumalabas na rin sa TV na naka-gown ng gawa ni Salud ba na kapareho ng mga gown ni Kris Aquino! Pero golly, kamukha ni Manny! Puede ba magpa-plastic surgery muna! Say, gawing kamukha niya si Nora Aunor ala-Glue!

    Iyong asawa ni Manny, mataba na! When I saw her, she was slim and pretty! Akala ko tuloy may ibang asawa na si Manny. Ang dami kasing kabit ng mga ito sa totoo lang!

  122. joeseg joeseg

    Ito po ang latest na interview kay MoneyPak na umiikot ngayon sa text messaging:

    I ikspik that it will be a long payt, a good payt. But you know, I didn’t ikspik. Tinks por da God, you know, and tinks por ol da pelepeno pipol! – Manny Pacquiao.

  123. joeseg joeseg

    Ito pa ang isang txt message:

    Noodle!! Noodle!! Noodle!! – Manny Pacquiao sa Deal or No Deal. =)

  124. Joeseg,

    Marunong naman palang mag-Ingles iyang si Facquiao, eh!

    Sa ispiling kaya sa inglis, baka kung manalo yan, lahat ng bills niya sa inglis na ganyan niya isulat – heh! Talo lahat niya ang mga tungrismen sa kungris.

    Hehehe!

    Chi, Joeseg, Alitaptap:

    Paki-naman o. I need cliche and slogans for the other UNO candidates!

    Hayaan mo Ystakei, gagawa tayo. Focus muna tayo rito magandang palabas na the Beauty and the Beast, starring Darlene as the beauty and MoneyPak as the beast. Sabi nga ni Peacer101, MoneyPak will suffer losses such as:

    1. Loss to his ring opponent
    2. Loss to Darlene
    3. Loss of money

    at dinagdagan ko ng:

    1. Loss of memory (sa tindi ng bugbog at pagkatalo)
    2. Luslos (dahil hindi nagsusustento sa mga anak ng inanakang chicks)
    2. Lusyang (ang hitsura niya afer eleksiyon)

  126. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    kawawang pacman. ngayon pinagtatawanan na ang english niya.
    pero noon, humanga sa kanya ang lahat dahil pinilit niyang mag-aral pati na english at hindi na kailangan ang interpreter.

    ayaw ko rin na maging politiko si pacquiao. wala siyang experience. at ang pinaka-masaklap, pagtatawanan siya dahil sa kanyang english.

    sabi nga ni ellen, isyu lang ang pag-usapan.

  127. Hindinapinoy,

    Count me out please from your “LAHAT”: “humanga sa kanya ang lahat dahil pinilit niyang mag-aral pati na english at hindi na kailangan ang interpreter.”

    Don’t like boxing, never admired boxers not even poor Pacquiao.

  128. chi chi

    joeseg,

    Di ba ang lusyang ay para lang sa women?

  129. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    PV,
    ang gusto ko lang i-point out, bumalik sa pag-aaral si pacquiao. pangalawa, dapat bang pagtawanan ang accent niya?

    mali ang pagpasok ni Manny sa politika. at walang tamang panahon ang pagpasok sa politika sa pilipinas. once na pumasok ka, sira ka na. mabibilang mo sa daliri ang matino.

  130. Hindinapinoy,

    TY for the input on Pacquiao but really, I’m more interested in wrecking, punching Gloria and her henchmen/women by using my right to vote.

    My own vote is a protest vote – that may displease some but tough. I can live with that.

  131. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    PV,
    okey lang. mag-ingat lang kayo sa mga politiko. maraming sumasapi kung saan sila makakalamang. mabango ang oposisyon ngayon dahil napakabaho ng nasa malakanyang ngayon. hindi kayo nakakasiguro pagkatapos ng eleksyon.

  132. joeseg joeseg

    Manay Chi

    Kapag ikaw ang dumanas ng katakot-takot na pagkatalo, mukhang lusyang ka na rin. Bihisan mo ng kimona si MoneyPak and you could just imagine his appearance.

    Hindinapinoy

    Humanga ang maraming hindi lang Pinoy (hindi lahat, pwede bang ituwid mo ang iyong isinulat) dahil isa siyang Filipino at dinala ang karangalan ng bansa sa larangan ng boksing. Pero pulitika itong pinaguusapan, hindi boksing.
    Makikipagsabuyan siya ng putik dito, hindi ng lakas ng kanyang kamao.

    Yong isinulat ko dyan at nabasa mo, isang text message yon na umiikot dito sa Pilipinas ngayon as a text joke. Palagay ko’y tagahanga rin sila ni Pacquiao pero lumalabas hindi na. Taga USA ka yata dahil hindi na pinoy, mas matindi ang mga jokes dyan laban kay Bush, Cheney, kay Clinton noon at ngayon kay Hillary. Hndi ka ba nakikitawa sa mga jokes tungkol sa kanila?

  133. Jon M Jon M

    Mukha ngang pumasok na sa ulo ni Manny ang kanyang mga tagumpay. I didn’t even think that I would use the word ‘retard’ to describe him. Mukhang ganoon na nga rin ang labas niya dahil di niya naiintindihan ang ginagawa niya. Alam niyang ginagamit lang siya, pero okay lang dahil naha-high naman siya sa kanyang mga kasamang high dealers! Retarded nga talaga.

  134. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    joeseg,
    ang sinasabi kong paghanga ay sa kanyang pagbabalik sa eskwela. okey lang ang mga jokes. pero kung ang jokes ay tungkol sa accent ng isang region sa pinas, parang wala sa lugar. kung ang jokes ay tungkol sa pagiging bobo, yan ang nakakatawa.

  135. joeseg joeseg

    hindinapinoy

    Ang kailangan mo ay pumunta sa Pilipinas at pagsabihan ang gumagawa ng jokes, ok? Ipinoste ko lang ang umiikot na text message na nangyayari ngayon. May narinig ka bang accent eh nakasulat yon, anong wala sa lugar? Baka ikaw ang wala sa lugar kung jokes ang pinaguusapan. Ako’y natutuwa sa iyo pero hindi ko maintindihan ang iyong pinupunto.

    Balik na lang tayo sa isyu, pls. Napagsabihan ka na ni Ate Ellen na tigilan ang iringan, that’s enough. Kung magaling ka, so be it. Saludo ako sa iyo, Hindinapinoy. I rest my case.

  136. kahanga-hanga sana si pacquiao na mula sa kahirapahan naging matagumpay sa sarili niyang pagod.

    Kahanga-hanga na nagsisikap siyang mapunuan ang kanyang pagkukulang sa pag-aaral. Enrolled siya nayon sa Distance Learning program ng Dep-Ed.

    Ngayon nagpapagamit siya sa mga magnanakaw at mandaraya para manloko ng taumbayan. ‘Yan ang hindi kahanga-hanga.

  137. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    joeseg,
    ang pagbabalik eskwela ni Pacquiao ay kasama sa isyu dahil sabi niya, isa ito sa mga plano niya para sa mga bata.

    ang jokes sa tingin ko ay hindi isyu.

  138. Best thing is to have a TV debate between Darlene and Pacman. Tignan natin ang galing ni Pacman. Kasi kung talagang sincere ang isang tao lalabas at lalabas ang katotohanan kung ano ang magagawa niya para sa bayan.

    STOP THE GUTOM! VOTE STRAIGHT UNO!
    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!
    PAG-ASA NG MGA PILIPINO, HAWAK NI ALAN PETER CAYETANO!

    Sa totoo lang, double meaning ang cliche namin para kay Alan Cayetano! Yehey!

  139. hindinapinoy hindinapinoy

    ellen,
    kitang-kita na ginagamit si pacquiao.

    pero sa tingin ko, ito ay ‘below the belt’:

    Noodle!! Noodle!! Noodle!! – Manny Pacquiao sa Deal or No Deal. =)

    kitang-kita (dinig na dinig?) ang accent dito.

  140. Me, too, PV. Never liked boxing. Trabaho lang! I have this contract with a boxing commission to interpret for foreign boxers in English and Tagalog to/from Japanese. Nakakapanood ng boxing but I don’t like it. Iyan ang game na dapat nang i-abolish dahil delikado!

    In 2005, when Pacman came here to watch a fight of the guys from the same stable that he was trained in, nabugbog iyong isang kasama niya at naospital. Akala ko patay na. Walang iniwang pera si Pacmnan despite the fact that he knew the manager and the boxer would be needing some money. Inabot ng 1 month and hospitalization, and I volunteered to visit and act as his interpreter free of charge. Iyong Japanese promoters ang gumastos lahat.

    I heard that the said boxer died after he went home kaya wala nang contact even when I offered to send him to school. I was supposed to introduce him to a priest I knew who was conducting adult education for underprivileged Filipinos like that boxer who finished only 3rd Grade.

    Iyan dapat ang inaasikaso ni Pacman, ang matulungan ang kapwa niya mangmang na makatapos kahit man lang high school. Golly, nagmalaki pang siya ang kanang kamay noong horsey na anak ni Pidal sa sabungan, bingo at karera!!! Doesn’t he know that God hates gamblers?!

  141. joeseg joeseg

    Hindinapinoy

    Nasabi ko na sa itaas, I rest my case. Pero you’re getting funnier. Talagang sa boksing, my below the belt di ba? Eh pumasok pa sa pulitika si Pacquiao, mas sapol sa below the belt ang aabutin niya.

    Ate Ellen

    I don’t want to continue this thing with hindinapinoy. If you think my posting of a text message is not good to this blog, I am ready to stop blogging here. But if you think it’s OK, then I think hindinapinoy knows what to do.

  142. Ellen:

    Dihin ako believe doon sa sinasabi mong evaluation kuno ng Dept. of Education ng Pilipinas. Hindi ino-honor dito sa Japan kahit na may palabas silang ganyan dito. Golly, kinabisote lang iyong review book na ini-isyu before the exam, pasado na. Pagdating sa practical, wala ring ibubuga. Daya pa ang dating!

    Akala ko ba kumukuha si Pacman ng correspondence course na in-offer ng US manager niya para magkaroon siya ng high school equivalent qualification para makapasok ng university? E sa palpak din pala pumunta.

    Sa simbahan namin may program ng home schooling. Iyon pa ang tunay! Puedeng pumasok sa university sa America!

  143. Joeseg:

    Dito ka na lang mag-concentrate—doon sa hinihingi kong cliche. Magpo-post na lang ako ng talagang alam ko tungkol kay Pacman kasi kasa-kasama ko iyan ng isang linggo, interview dito, interview doon, and learned a lot about his background. Hindi ko akalain na umakyat na sa ulo niya ang kunyaring attention na ibinibigay ng mga baboy sa Malacanang. Maaawa sana ako sa kaniya, pero delikado ang Pilipinas sa ginagawa niya. Noon mayor lang ang ambisyon niya e baka next time, baka gusto niya Datu na rin siya!!! Susmaryosep!

  144. Ano naman ang ingles ni Pacman. Barok-barok din. Wala namang formal education iyong tao. Salitaan lang ng mga kasama niyang mga boxers na karamihan pa yata ay mga itim na wala rin namang pinag-aralan. Tapos iyong puntong bisaya niya hindi pa na-correct! Whatever, I wish him luck. Huwag lang ba siyang pumayag na mandaya si Bansot at Abalos para manalo siya! Patas lang dapat ang labanan!

    O iyong mga gustong mag-volunteer for Darlene even via Internet, handa na ninyo ang mga broadband ninyo! Dito nga balak ko every week may sine akong ipapalabas sabay iyong mga clips ng UNO.

    Calling, calling JV Ejercito! Ipadala mo na rin sa akin ang mga AVI ng UNO. I can convert them to DVD and VHS. Iyong mga may gusto ng movie ni Erap na To Live for the Masses, nasa bittorrent ang lead. I can seed kung gusto ninyo.

  145. Joeseg:

    Gusto ko iyong mga text na nakukuha mo. Reflection na hindi na sikat si Pacman. Sikat siya sa guni-guni niya na lang!

  146. chi chi

    joeseg,

    Dito ka lang, concentrate on what we’re doing. We talk of text jokes here, i.e. Pechay. Masyado tayong bland kung puro serioso ang lahat ng poste natin. Saka, ang mga jokes naman ay buntot ng mga personalidad na pinag-uusapan dito.

    I don’t think we are in a straightjacket, e di hindi na hahaba ang thread. Relax, blog and we will enjoy all the jokes. Sa pinaggagagawang katarantaduhan ni Glueria sa ating mga pinoy ay may karapatan tayo na pagtawanan ang lahat ng mga taong nakakabit sa kanyang mabahong saya!

  147. Joeseg: Manay Chi, Kapag ikaw ang dumanas ng katakot-takot na pagkatalo, mukhang lusyang ka na rin. Bihisan mo ng kimona si MoneyPak and you could just imagine his appearance.
    *****

    Joeseg, tignan mo na lang ang nanay ni Pacman. Carbon copy niya. Iyon si Manny, kapag nakabihis babae! 😛

    Sorry sa nanay niya. Ang hilig din sa publicity kasi. Saw her on TV when I was in SFO last Christmas. Daig si Jinky na misis ni Pacman!

    Kaya nga nagpasok ako ng text jokes dahil masyadong tensyonado, eh binabara ako nitong si hindinapinoy. Below the belt daw at pinagtatawanan ang accent ni Pakyaw. Isinumbong pa ako kay Ate Ellen. Eh ayaw ko namang patulan dahil takot ako.

    Joeseg,

    Cool slogans. Gagawa din tayo ng jinggle for Pakwan este pacman.

    “On the rrrright corner is the darling of the crowd, the dauntless bright lass from Cotabato, Mssss Darlene AntoNIno-Custodio. And on the left cornerrrr is the challenger and former Pinoy idol MAnny “pagamit” Pacquiaoooo.” Shout from the audience: “BOOM BOOMB BOOM, buti pa si BOOM BOOM BOOM, buti pa si BOOM BOOM BOOM” (referring to Boom boom Bautista)

    …Just an ice breaker folks, hehehe. Nakakaloka na kasi, may tupak talaga yang handlers ni Pacman.

    OK ang jingle mo, isip pa tayo ng iba as requested by the ladies. Here’s another joke on MPak:

    MPak was learning to write a letter. His assignment was to write a request letter to order 2 geese.
    “I would like to order 2 gooses.” Mali yata.
    “I would like to order 2 geeses.” Mali rin yata. Ito na lang.
    “Dear sir, I would like to order 1 goose. Thank you very much.
    P.S. Please add 1 goose.”

    In their recent trip to Davos, Switzerland, Mike Arroyo made a disappearing act and went to the red light district to look for you know what.
    Mike: How much?

    Mike: That’s too much! How about $10?
    Sexy Girl: No way!
    Next day, the prostitute chance upon Mike with GMA in the hotel lobby.
    Sexy Girl: Hey man, hahahaha!! See what you got of $10!

  154. When he was interviewed in Tokyo, Pacman said he wanted to be a mayor of his hometown. Nag-offer pa nga akong tutulungan ko siya kasi at that time, hindi pa naman siya talagang close doon sa mga switik sa Malacanang. Abaw, tumaas ang ambisyon! Ngayon gusto namang maging Conressman. Bakit anong akala niya sa Congress ng Pilipinas parang sabungan gaya noong sabungan nila ng anak ni Switik? Komo nakita niya ang ginawang pambababoy noong Pidal family doon? Bakit akala niya ganoon lang, “Sa pula, sa puti!”? Masaya siya!

They are like a killer shark who can smell blood. Or a vulture! The invincible Pacmania is now dying in shame. Darlene will always remain Darling! It’s the Beauty and the Beast!

    Gladiator of our Time

    Crime rate drops, families are united, traffic is at the minimum (and it’s not Holy week yet), all are tuned in to the fight of Manny.

    Of course Manny TKO’d Erik MOrales in the 3rd round, that was the story as it passed thru the media, internet mostly spread it like wild fire, then the nation celebrates. If in the Philippines right now, at almost certainty the fight is still in everyone’s memory, they’re still talking about it especially those who most admire him, the masses.

    Ahhh, the nation of grinding poverty. At least on that Sunday afternoon hunger was put into the sideline. Rejoice it is the triumph of one of our guys in sports. Of course I do rejoice, who would not?

  165. nelbar nelbar

     
    ptz_public window said : Of course I do rejoice, who would not?

     

    flashback tayo hah?

    January 21, 2006 : “A boxing poster of Morales vs. Pacquiao, II Trilogy”

    alam mo p_pw, noong Money-Erik bout #2 , marami ang nagsabi na nakakaawa ang mga Pinoy.

    Matapos ang laban at panonood sa mga telebisyon, ang pila naman sa mga lotto outlet ang kinuyog.

    Alam nyo na siguro ang ibig kong sabihin 💡

     

    Kung sinasabi na isang Gladiator itong si Money Pack , eh para mo naman na inietsepwera ang TEAM ni Lucius Vorenus & Titus Pullo sa TV Series na Rome Episode #11The Spoils.

     
     

    As he awaits the final death blow from a giant gladiator, Vorenus emerges from the crowd and takes on the gladiator. Vorenus slices the giant’s leg in half before driving the shaft of the giant’s club through the gladiator’s torso. As the crowd recovers from shock, a roar of approval rises up.

     

  166. Chi:

    Iyong last fight niya sa Las Vegas, he earned 2M dollars. Then, I understand, SMC is giving him 40,000 pesos monthly allowance for a lifetime contract for ads, etc. plus education trust fund for his children. So far, iyan ang main income niya.

    Tapos, he said that the Pidals had given him authorization to run their gambling business. He was in fact promised to head some game commission someday when the jueteng is abolished and substituted with some Philippine style “Lotto” that is more like Bingo. When he was bragging about that, napanganga na lang ako. I doubt if some priest would even dare caution him about his gambling especially if he gives a lot of his gambling gains to the priests and nuns. Sa simbahan namin iyan sinabon na siya! Bawal kasi sa amin ang gambling, and members are in fact cautioned about buying sweepstakes tickets!!!

    I doubt, though, that he actually knows his worth. Mukhang pinahahawakan sa mga Pidal ang pera niya! Pero nakita mo ba ang nanay niya sa TV Patrol. Kuntodo gown!!! Kamukha naman ni Manny, wala nga lang bigote!!! 😛

    Iyan din ang sabi ng father-in-law ko, Soleil. Tama naman kasi kahit na naghirap ang family ng biyenan ko at the turn of the 20th century nang i-abolish ang Samurai class, pero may bearing. Bilib ako kasi pino pati ang language.

    I consider myself lucky because I actually found a lost relative and was able to get proper training. Except for the tea ceremony that was a requirement for good breeding over here (more like a finishing school in Europe) I was sent to train in flower arrangement, calligraphy and the culinary arts. I had to take special training likewise in social graces and proper language.

    Wala niyan sa Pilipinas sa totoo lang kaya ang dating kahit na sabihin pang may pera ay parang mga walang pinag-aralan. OK din sana in a way kasi parang walang discrimination pero ang sama iyong langaw kapag nakatungtong sa kalabaw akala mo mas mataas pa at malaki kesa sa kalabaw! Sobra ang hangin at iyong akala mo meron sobra ang matapobre. Pero sa totoo lang puro utang pala!

    Nakakaawa iyang si Pacman kasi nadamihan na ang hangin sa ulo. Tama ka. Sabi nga, “Damitan mo man ang matsing, matsing pa rin.”

    Gladiator of our Time

    Crime rate drops, families are united, traffic is at the minimum (and it’s not Holy week yet), all are tuned in to the fight of Manny.

    Of course Manny TKO’d Erik MOrales in the 3rd round, that was the story as it passed thru the media, internet mostly spread it like wild fire, then the nation celebrates. If in the Philippines right now, at almost certainty the fight is still in everyone’s memory, they’re still talking about it especially those who most admire him, the masses.

    Ahhh, the nation of grinding poverty. At least on that Sunday afternoon hunger was put into the sideline. Rejoice it is the triumph of one of our guys in sports. Of course I do rejoice, who would not?

    What I would not celebrate after learning of his triumph is the sight of those politicos savoring the victory of their kababayan as their own. As certain as the dawn, after Manny had landed, they cling to him like leaches, suckers.

    Just like during Roman times, poverty, misery, and social injustice are slightly put aside by entertaining the poor masses.

    The masses (and the nation at that) are much mesmerized by the victory of Manny over his most formidable foe todate. And the politicos uses this victory of a man amidst all the pain and sacrifices to mis-inspire the people.

    Let’s not forget that Manny hails from a poverty stricken family. Amidst all that, he trains hard, sacrifice, endure all the pains to get into where is now. What he have gone thru is very inspiring no question about it. He hails fom a place where most boys aspire to become a professional boxer someday to rake in the monies the sports would bring to them like Manny. But Manny is an exception rather than the rule, he has talents and skills to be a Champ.

    Boys would follow and be inspired by Manny to uplift themselves from grinding poverty. How many of them would be Manny in their own time?

    When the powerful elite said let’s be inspired by Manny to give honor to our country and to uplift one’self from poverty by perseverance and hard work, they must be talking about the justification of poverty and misery of our country and most of all, they are actually spitting on Manny’s face.

    Manny, at this times is the idol and aspiration of the poor masses, they all came from the same class, poor masses. Manny represents poor man’s struggle to survive in the world of inequalities and lack of oppurtunities. The politicos are using him because he can be identified with the millions of the poor (read: voters). Why don’t they say let’s give honor to Cecil Licad or to our scientist who are also bringing honors to our country by sheer hard work and training?

    Manny is a Gladiator of our time, an idol, an aspiration for the poor. He is also the escape goat for politicians and the elite that amidst poverty (povety that the elites they temselves perpetuates) one can be triumphant. Have you seen an Atenista or La Sallite aspires to be a boxer? Or have you heard someone from the middle class who wants to be pounced, beaten on the way to financial success (literally at that)?

    It is Manny now, who will be then next time?

    It’s not wrong at any sense to be inspired by Manny, or give honors to him, it is due to him, for all it’s worth.

    What is wrong with it is that just like the gladiators, all of them just wants to be free, it is from bondage then, it is from poverty now. Which we the middle class together with the ruling class put them (the Gladiators, Manny in this case) into spectacle to entertain ourselves and the toiling masses to forget our own time’s misery, inequity, social injustice and most of all abject poverty.

Kung sino-sino lang ang pinapatakbo na walang palaisipan. At least, doon sa UNO, pinag-aralan mabuti kung dapat o hindi ipasok halimbawa si Kiko Mr. Noted at Villar. Kaso mo, how committed are they. Ipakilala nila kahit pagkatapos ng eleksyon. Kaso baka matalo si Kiko dahil sa ginawa niya in the May 2004 election. Diyan ngayon dapat na tumulong si JV.

    Papatawarin ko siya in fact kung aayusin niya first thing ang problema ng state university na pinanggalingan niya. Kinakawawa ang Alma Mater niya, hindi siya naaantig! Now, he has to prove himself real hard.

    Any which way I look at this, Pacman is viewed as an “asset” to propagate more illegal activities such as jueteng etc. Sabit Swingson does this, he marries any of his family member to another powerful family some place and then he rules through them. This is the same thing with the Pidals. It does not matter to these crooks whether Pacman can author and pass a bill. What matters is they can use him for their illegal activities. Since Pacman is so naive(or bordering Idiot) he is their perfect prey. These vultures will make sure that Pacman wins so they can perpetuate their sinister plot of expanding their gambling empire. He is not being elected to represent the people. He is pushed into this candidacy to ride on his popularity to the masses. It is a little too late for this blog to warn Pacman of the pitfalls of being in politics when you are amongst very learned lawmakers. He will be shocked to the point of maybe not even wanting to go to work as he will not be able to comprehend any of the bills being passed, unless of course he has a translator like Yuko who will be under his employ at all times. To Pacman, my condolences!

    Nakakabobo na talaga ang pulitika sa atin. Lalo pang nakakabobo ang pagpasok ng ugok na Pacquiao na ito. Bilib ako sa husay niya sa boksing. Pero hanggang doon na lang. Eh, yun ngang gusot na pinasok niya sa Golden Boy at kay Bob Arum, hanggang ngayon wala pang pinal na desisyun. Magiging tau tauhan lang ang ugok na Pacquiao na iyan. Anong batas ang ipapasa nya, gawing legal ang dalawang asawa? O kilalaning bilang bayani ang isang tanga at sunud sunuran?

    Pls. don’t ever think of leaving Ellen’s blog! You’re one of those whose opinions I savor and your jokes I cherish! Very true lang! Mawala na ako, huwag lang kayo, ha?
    I have 2 sisters lving in Gensan. One tried to enter politics in the early ’90’s. Nadala sa prodding ng mga kasama sa Charismatic. Namanang kayamanan sa namatay na asawa, iginasta sa election, talo pa rin. Ngayon back to the basics sila ng kanyang mga anak! But my sister loves politics. She’s the one updating me about the in and outs of Gensan. I still have to hear about Pakyaw and Darlene’s bout. She’s with Darlene!

  179. PSB: Any which way I look at this, Pacman is viewed as an “asset” to propagate more illegal activities such as jueteng etc.

    Sinabi mo pa. It was the impression I got when Pacman bragged about being the caretaker of the Pidal’s sabungan and other gambling dens. Pero noon, hanggang mayor pa lang ang pangarap niya and that was one and half years ago. Biglang asenso ang kumag!

    Ipapasa niya siguro iyong batas na ili-legalize ang jueteng, bingo, lotto, at iba pang uri ng sugalan!!! Labas ng Pilipinas, parang 3rd class na Monaco! Tapos, si Donya Switik magiging Reyna Engkangtada!!! Heaven forbid!

    Para siyang si Sonny Jaworski na mahina ang ulo pero gumagawa ng batas kuno. Didiktahan siya ni Pineda halimbawa na i-legalize na ang jueteng na ipapasa naman niya kay Iggy at Mikey Horse tapos iaakyat kay Swingson (Lord, huwag po!) para aprobahan. Labas lutong makaw!!!

    Ito ang magiging eksena talaga kapag hindi natoto ang mga pilipino at maboto pa ang mga ungas na ito. Please duraan na rin ninyo!

  180. Yuko,

    Chavit along with Pasig River Mafia Don Fatso Arroyo, having some kind of stake in Pacquiao might pour in his own bet in the boxer winninga against Darlene in GenSan.

    Can you imagine what Chavit and Fatso could do with a ‘prosperous’ city in the South if hiç manok wins there? Shit, he could expand his illegal operations.

    In other words, defeating Pacquiao is of the essence because Darlene ain’t simply fighting a boxer, she’s fighting his backers too – the criminal combination of Malacanang Don and Boa Constrictor Chavit too.

    That’s a huge war arena for Darlene to fight in.

    We gotta make sure she wins! (I called a couple of military friends – senior officers just to remind them that if Pacquiao wins there, Gen San will be a terrible Killing Fields.)

  181. jr_lad jr_lad

    here’s one boxing fan’s appeal taken from a boxing forum:

    TO EVERYONE IN GEN SAN. DO NOT VOTE MANNY FOR ANY POSITION WHATSOEVER!!!!!

    THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE YOU MAY GET FOR SAVING HIM FROM THIS MONUMENTAL STUPIDITY!!!!

    SAVE MANNY!!!! LET’S SAVE MANNY FROM HIMSELF!!!

    — —
    yes please, save your hardheaded kababayan from the claws of these vultures surrounding him. let him stick with boxing.

  182. jr Lad,

    Problem is, Manny must agree to save himself from himself.

    He’s a “free” agent in that respect. If he decides to lose the money he’s earned in the political arena because his new-found friends, the criminal combination of Chavit and Fatso, there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

    The fight must focus on helping Darlene beat the lot of them: Pacquiao and his proxy war handlers.

    Tough on Pacquiao but we’ve got to make a committed stand against defeating him even if it means that he’ll end up in the kangkungan.

    luzviminda, wala namang utang na loob si pacquiao sa mga gangster ng malakanyang. siya pa nga ang nag-aakyat ng limpak limpak na salapi kapag nananalo sa pustahan sa laban niya ang dalawang may luslos (sabit at baboy fatsy).

    PV,

    Manny is incorrigible that’s why the message is for his kababayans not to vote for Manny and it means they should vote for his opponent. It’s actually the same as appealing to help Darlene beat him and in the process saving Manny also from his stupidity.

    Gloria must really be schizophrenic. But did you notice, eversince Archbishop Cruz shut her up, she stopped using God as her pretext for staying? Now she’s using her idiotic economic policies daw.

    yuko,

    GenSantos City is part of Region XII and the capital city of Sarangani province–relatively, a newly created province (1995) to satisfy politician’s cravings.

    Old folks used to remember GenSan as part of South Cotabato, before the break-up and part of Region XI. With the new political division, So. Cotabato still retains its old name with a new capital city–Marbel.

    General Santos City is a first class city and the country’s largest sashimi grade tuna producer and has a lone allocated congressional seat.

    About 2.5 hours bus ride from Davao City, and most of the Christian residents draw its roots from the provinces of Ilocos and Iloilo. The Lumads or natives of the area are mostly Maguindanaons (majority) and Badjaos (minority).

  188. PV,

    Economic policies? Nothing fantastic really. Just monkey policies! Kaya pala gutom ang inaabot ng mga pilipino kaya kahit ma-rape nagbabakasakali sa ibang bansa! Bagong business nga niya magbenta ng kidney ngayon. Nang hindi na makabenta ng p–i sa Japan, sa Korea naman, and maybe, doon ayaw na rin ng benebenta niya kaya kidney naman ngayon! Inutil talaga!

    Puede ba bumaba na lang siya para matahimik na ang bansa. Kung hihintayin pa ang 2010, hindi na makakabayad ng utang ang mga pilipino. Collateral pa siguro ang bansa gaya ng ginawa ng tatay niya!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  189. And, if I may add to your conclusion, Yuko, the interest rate for the use of the Philippines as collateral – direcho sa bulsa niya.

    Ganid!

    if Manny wins this fight against Darlene, am throwing the white towel on elections being the feasible option to effect change on the country’s problems.

  191. Chabeli Chabeli

    Artsee,

    I like the new name you gave Pacman: “Manny Fuckyao”

    I like this one more: “Darlene of the People”

  192. Zenzennai says, “if Manny wins this fight against Darlene, am throwing the white towel on elections being the feasible option to effect change on the country’s problems.”

    And worse: Good bye GenSan, Hello, Killing Fields!

  193. Thanks, Zenzennai. I actually first heard of Gensan when I did a translation of a sensational news on the spotting of some Japanese stragglers there that turned out to be a hoax. It did not say Cotabato so I assumed it was Misamis. Then, I met Pacman, and heard that he was born there, and wanted to be a Mayor there.

    Now, the Pidals want him to run for Congressman so he will be forced to give money to the national campaign fund because the Pidals must be having difficulty getting enough money now from their donors, and they would not like to withdraw from their bank accounts overseas dahil mabibisto ni Alan Peter! Wais!!!

    Anyway, yYes, I know there are lots of Ilocanos in Cotabato. A lot of our relatives in fact settled in Kidapawan, Cotabato. I doubt if they will vote for Pacquiao! They are intelligent enough not to be hoodwinked by the Pidals!

  194. You bet, walang utang na loob si Pacman sa mga Pidal. Problem is the guy must be still suffering from the shock of being poor and thinks the Pidals are his new amo!

    He was saying he did not owe his success in the ring to any Filipino. Iyon lang daw na Amerikano na trainer niya ang may utang na loob siya sa boxing. But now, may utang na loob na siya sa mga Pidal kasi labas-pasok siya sa Malacanang. Pangarap niyang makatulog doon, I guess.

    In short, utak katulong ang mokong! I bet you, sabi ng mga ganid, “Don’t worry. Mababalik din ang pera mo pagkatapos ng election!” Heaven forbig!

  195. zenzennai zenzennai

    P.V.

    GenSan voters in the past traditionally goes for the opposition. and barring unseen midas touch, i expect it to be this way still.

    but if for some amazing reason this will change, it won’t be Darlene’s fault, but a wailing cry of an empty stomach. unfortunately, for many hungry folks, elections doesn’t fill one.

  196. Nope, PV, inaantok na kasi ako. It’s midnight over here! Gotta go to bed now. Marami pa akong trabaho in the morning!

  197. K, sleep well, Yuko! The battle is protracted so you need to rest from the battle front once in a while.

  198. Zenzennai:

    Don’t believe in the philosophy of the empty stomach. It’s corruption through and through. Lutong makaw ang ginagawa ng mga Pidal. Gosh, hindi na ba sila nadala?

  199. I mean ang mga pilipino na pinapayagan nilang niloloko sila ng mga magnanakaw na ito!

  202. Sorry, Ellen, class na nga pala ngayon ang mga katulong! OK, hindi siya utak katulong, utak mokong na lang! 😛

    Kung sabagay, insulto sa mga katulong na iparis si Pacman sa kanila lalo na kung marangal naman silang nagtratrabaho kahit na ma-rape sila! 😛 Diyos mahabagin!

In the coming month of July, Oliver Lozano and Marcoleta will be prohibited to file the impeachment complain for the third time,but, Darlene will surely do it right.So,Pacquiao–tabi-tabi ka muna d’yan kung gusto mong makatulong sa bayan.Para sa bayan ang labang ito,ano? Understand?Mag boxing ka na lang.

    I was listening yesterday sa rmn manila..Jose and ka Rene…sabi nga ni ka Rene okay lang sa kanya si Pacquiao tumakbo sa Congress and he has a point kasi sabi niya ngayon congress paramihan ng alliance or numbers talaga..nagsasalita pa ang iba sabay hirit ang mga committees let’s vote..so nawala na talaga ang debate sa hall..ako I will blame JDV kasi as speaker of the house sinira na yun integrity ng congress…kaya siguro tatakbo nga ito (Pacquiao) napayuhan na wala ng debate sa congress vote ka lang ng vote…upo lang at makinig at siguro tagalog version naman ang bibigay sa kanyang documents..o kaya mayroon naman earphone na puwedeng mag translate sa kanya (dating ang plano ni Lapid)….but knowing Pacquiao di gagamit yan he will speak english nakita naman natin sa mga after fight niya talagang magsasalita siya kahit di niya naiintindihan ang tanong at di gagamit ng translator.

    For me, pacquiao should not run as congressman…tutal boxer siya mahilig sa action so bagay sa kanya Mayor pero tumakbo after na mag retire siya sa boxing.

    Ate Ellen and everybody in the blog

    Pls allow me to post this most relevant issue of the day.
    While we are so engrossed with the boiling hot politics, we should not forget that it’s Valentine’s Day and let’s have something to read about LOVE. The issue of the day, above all issues!

    “Put no demands on love, and love will bring you much. Give love away, and it will be yours in greater and greater abundance. With love, what was weak will grow strong. With love, what was impossible becomes real.

    Love can find the beauty and value in even the most desperate situation. Love will bring hope where nothing else can.

    Though love cannot be explained, it can never be denied. Love has its own reality that transcends the most oppressive limitations.

    Love elevates what it touches to a higher dimension. When love is present, fears are calmed, wounds begin to heal, and joy is gloriously within reach.

    Love, not because there is a reason, but because there is the possibility. Love, and you will know what you cannot understand.”

  208. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    May laban si Pacquiao sa April which is within the election period. Sabi sa election code, di puwedeng i-broadcast sa radyo, TV, o lumabas sa pelikula, o ano mang public appearance maliban sa pagkampanya, na may limitadong oras lamang, ang mga kandidato. Ang spirit of the law was to avoid giving undue advantage to celebrities in terms of media exposure, lalo na dun sa mga artista at mga manlalaro (sportsmen).

    Sa tingin ko, kusang aatras rin iyan si Manny at mag-iindorso ng substitute candidate matapos wasakin ang kampanya ni Darlene. Ang primary consideration ng mga promoters ng laban niya ay ang pay-per-view income. Hindi puwedeng lumaban si Pakyaw na walang TV coverage, gago ba ang promoter na magbabayad ng milyones na dolyar sa mga maglalaban tapos hindi naman kikita sa TV rights?

    Isang malaking sakit ng ulo na naman iyan ng manager niya at si Pakyaw mismo. Isang disqualification case ang siguradong tatama sa kanya pag nangyari iyan. Na kung parehas ang magiging hatol, siguradong laglag siya sa kandidatura. But, you can never be assured of fairness, not while Garci’s Ma’m still controls the reins in Comelec.

    Kaya lang, hindi rin natin alam kung pwedeng kanselahin pa ang laban ni Pakyaw kahit may kontrata na ito.

    Puwede rin palang isabotage ang kandidatong gaya ni Pakyaw by showing replays of his previous fights in any TV or Cable Channel all over the world where there are absentee-voting Filipinos, diba?

    Why don’t Darlene’s handlers check these angles. Easy ka lang Darlene, darling, the TonGuE is here for you.

    Amen to your analysis, swak na swak sa panga ni MoneyPak.

    I would like to think the moment Pakyaw announced his candidacy, Darlene and her handlers have gone to all that there’s to know about MoneyPak. Siempre, paghahandaan nila yan at ngayon pa lamang, tiyak naghahalukay na sila ng mga panlaban kay MoneyPak, sa loob at labas ng ring.

    For one, there’s his residency status, Manila or GenSAn? Because we know he was being prodded by Mayor Atienza as running mate to his son. There might be some hokus-pokus to this already as one time, we read that Abalos himself told the press that MoneyPak might be questioned on the required 6 months residency, but soon after MoneyPak paid Abalos a visit, the next thing we heard, nailipat na ang registration. Is registration and residency question the same dog? Then the still unresolved breach of contract with Oscar dela Hoya. At siempre, itong laban sa April. I believe tinututukan na ng kampo ni Darlene ang lahat na yan. Di ba Darlene?

    You’re simply the Darling of the crowd! Happy Valentine’s day, hija! Batiin mo rin si MoneyPak as a goodwill sign. Imagina a beauty greeting a beast.

  213. Problem in the Philippines, Tongue T, is that there is no rule of law. Kung iyon ngang Constitution, binasura iyong pang Election Code na binababoy ng husto. Kasi iyon na lang pag-amin ni Bansot na tumawag siya kay Garci kahit na ano pang excuses niya, ground na iyon para i-disqualify siya. Mag-insist ka naman, tatanggalan ka ng lisensiya if you are a lawyer kasi mahinang klase naman ang mga bar associations sa Pilipinas! Tignan mo ang nangyari kay Alan Paguia. Gosh, bakit hindi siya ipinagtanggol ng bar association na kasali siya!

    Unbelievable talaga!  Sorry, guys, can’t help comparing with our better situation over here. Dito hindi puede ang mga ungas na katulad ni Madame Boba-ry! Sibak agad iyan!

    Chi, Joeseg, Yuko,
    My Darling is in for the fight of her life. I know given equal footing, she will win by a mile. What troubles me though is that all the time, the Antoninos have been virtually unchallenged in their turf. Not this time. The nasty little she-devil in Malacañang will use her clout in this all-out battle for each and every legislative district.

    Pandak chose Pakyaw because the cute little darlin’ might be heir apparent to the roles Alan Peter Cayetano and Chiz Escudero will leave behind as they become senators. I suspect they will bring the same misery to Roilo Golez, Butch Aquino, Gilbert Remulla and the others who are probable successors of Escudero.

    But Darlene will face stiff competition, I suppose dirty, from Pacquiao who this time will get support from the Alcantaras who lord it over even in lumad land. Tomas Alcantara during Gloria’s campaign in 2004 was said to have delivered millions of dollars from earnings of his pesudo-embassy in Taipei. The Alcantaras are presently into huge real estate development projects in GenSan I won’t be surprised if the BIR would do the “convincing” for Pakyaw.

    I wouldn’t likewise be surprised, though, that GenSan folk may dump the boxing hero as he turns political villain. They have quickly become urbanized and I would like to guess they think more like their metropolitan counterparts.

    Good luck, Darlene. (Then blows a kiss) Good luck, GenSan. (Then shows a fist)

    Palagay ko ay malaking inspirasyon kay darling Darlene mo ang iyong blowing her a kiss ang then showing a fist. Love and Fight! Perfect combination to win! Nice. heheh!

    Wondering, I don’t know, I’m asking. Does anyone here can tell me if Manny Pacquaio completed high school. I know he’s an excellent boxer inside the ring, but is he able to read and write? Just being curious since he entered his name in politics. Quite a big step for someone knew nothing of the govt and about the constitution, in particular the Article III, Bill of Right. I think, every candidates should be able to recite the Constitution, I doubt it very much if Pacquaio even heard of the Constitution. I’d assumed he doesn’t know. I suppose, I could be wrong. A good question for Ms Custodio to ask him if there is a debate, or might be on Ms Ellen turf to ask as a journalist. Well, such a life! Hopefully, mutineer Gloria will take her under wing, and guide him if he ever become one congressman. What’s this country coming too? Blind is leading the blind!

    Hindi po ako naniniwala na walang kinalaman ang Palasyo sa paghabol ni Paquiao. Katulad din ni Lito Lapid sa paghabol ng mayor sa Makati. Gustong paigtingin ang galamay ng political machinery ng dilag sa Palasyo kayat ginagamit nya ang mga sikat na personahe. Maliwanag na si Darlene Custodio ay oposisyong tunay dapat lamang na mapalitan siya ng isang tuta ng gobyerno. Nanawagan po ako sa sambyanan ng Gensan iboto po ninyo si Darlene, matalino at kalaban ng kurakot at makakapal ang mukha. Huwag iboto ang tuta ni GMA, salamat po.

  218. Para sa Kanto Mama Para sa Kanto Mama

    Parang boksing. Panoorin na lang natin si Pacquiao. Enjoy nating panoorin kung paano siya magse-self-destruct. Kapag na-interview siya ng local press, sasagot siya ng sagot pang-grade 3. Siyempre, may sense of humor ang mga Pinoy. Matatawa ang mga nakikinig at nanonood. Gagayahin ang mga sagot niya.
    Kapag na-interview siya ng foreign press, sasagot siya ng sagot pang-grade 3 sa English na may pakyaw accent. Siyempre, may creativity ang mga Pinoy. Gagayahin ang mga sagot niya. Pero hindi lang yun. Dadagdagan at bababuyin pa ang narinig na sagot niya. At dahil na rin sa killer instinct ng mga Pinoy, hindi na kailangang mangampanya ni Darlene. Bantayan na lang niya ang bilangan ng boto. COMELEC kasi ang referee at judges.

    hindi lang General Santos ang sisirain ni Money Packy pati na rin ang mga produkto na ini-endorso nya!

    Obserbahan nyo ang magiging performance ng shares of stocks na ininderso nya?

    kapag nanalo si Money Packy sa eleksyon kailangan na maging Speaker yan para tuluyan na talagang mabuwag ang House of Representatives.

    isang pambabastos sa mga hindi nakapag-aral ang gagawin ni Mr. Mambubug-bog ng kapwa lasingguero.

    May mga tao na naging Milyonaryo kahit hindi nakapag-aral at iyong iba naging successful pa sa kani-kanilang pinasukan na negosyo.

    Kaya unfair ito kung ikukumpara kay pambansang sugarol este lasinggero pala!

  221. Wow, ang daming bloggers! More than 233 blog-posts na dito. It is a reflection of the anger and disgust of many Filipinos, I believe, that they are being made to look like idiots and fools by this shenanigan called “Gloria M. Arroyo”!

    Ummph…I’m really trying hard to keep my temper because I have promised not to say profanities as I am imploring God to please help the UNO people from Senator down to the lowest positions in this election.

    I’m in the middle of an important job, but with my eradio on, and listening to the news from Manila that the Pacman as expected has announced having contributed 1M pesos to the Team Bansot campaign fund. Akala naman nila maaantig ang mga oposisyon! No way! Alam naman ng lahat kung sino iboboto ng mga tao kahit na magtago pa si Burot! Mandaya siya pihado ko pakikinggan naman ng Panginoon ang dasal ng mga matitino kahit na gutom ang tiyan.

    So there, the Pacman is contributing 1M pesos. Chicken feed! Nagpagawa pa raw ng kalye sa GenSan. So? Hindi naman ganoon katanga ang mga tao doon para iupo siya versus sa isang talagang marunong at alam ang gagawin para umunlad ang probinsiya nila. Bakit, malulutas ba ang problema ng Pilipinas ng pagboboksing lang. Iyan lang naman ang alam ni Pacman sa totoo lang. Ang please, sinuwerte lang naman siya! But it will not be forever.

    Ang sarap makita ang susunod na laban niya at pagkatalo niya! Iyan ang sinabing pumili kay Mamon! Kawawa rin kasi nagpapaloko doon sa mga switik.

    STOP THE GUTOM! STOP KURAKOT! VOTE STRAIGHT UNO!

    Sa pagkakataong ito, ngayon ko lang gustong matalo by knockout si Pacquiao… Sa ring ng politika. Sa boksing, siyempre gusto ko sya manalo, pero sa larangan ng politika, gusto ko yung nakahandusay siya at duguan ng matuto. BOBO talaga itong ugok na Pacquiao na ito pati na rin yung nang uudyok sa kaniya. Hoy Ugok! Yung pinirmahan mo sa Golden Boy, ayos na ba?

  225. Toney Cuevas asked, “Wondering, I don’t know, I’m asking. Does anyone here can tell me if Manny Pacquaio completed high school?”

    Pacquiao has not finished highschool. He is now enrolled in Dep-Ed’s distance learning program. he is admirable in the sense that he is determined to made up for his academic inadequacy.

    But running for public office is another thing.

  226. Last night, offscreen in “Stricly Politics” (I’m editorial consultant of that show) hosted by Pia Hontiveros (Tuesdays, 8.p.m, ANC) I told Mike Defensor to advise Manny pacquiao not to go into politics.

    Defensor said, “He wants to retire from boxing. He knows that his days as a boxer is nearing its end.”

    Pacquiao is 29 years old and that’s old for a boxer.

    I replied, why, what does he think of House of Representatives, retirement home?

    As for the topic of Pakyaw,I for one does not agree of his entry in politics, but then many have said the same for Erap,FPJ, Vilma, Edu, etc. History have told us what kind of voters we have…if we have learned our lessons then Pakyaw will not win. On the other hand it looks like malakanyang is playing the old game of politics..if pakyaw wins then at least malakanyang is right to read that the voters are not matured enough.

  230. Know what Yuko?

    If Gloria and her henchmen/women win more than 2 seats in the Senate particularly if criminla Chavit wins, I’m tempted to say that shit will hit the fan and that we should partition Pinas as in Republic of Ilocos, Republic of Mindanao, Republic of Pasig, Republic of Batangas, Republic of Bohol, Republic of Palawan, etc., etc.

    Then, we can nominate following as CANDIDATE for president of his/her respective republic:

    For the Republic of Antique: Ellen!

    For the Republic of Batangas: Magno

    For the Republic of Metro-Manila: Schumey

    For the Republic of Ilocos: Yuko

    mga kababayan,

    alam kong ang tanging hangad ninyo ay tunay na pagbabago tungo sa pagkakaisang magdudulot ng kapayapaan, pagkakaunawaan, katiwasayan, pantay pantay na katarungan at kasaganaang dapat noon pa natin tinamasa kung hindi lamang sa mga naging lider natin na walang inatupag kundi ang pagpapayaman habang nasa poder. lubos akong nagpapasalamat at sa wakas ay namulat na rin ang ating mga kababayan. binalewala nila ang pananakot ng mga bayarang maton ng aking mga kalaban; hindi sila nasilaw sa kinang ng salapi at mas ninais nilang magtiis ng ilang araw na gutom sa halip na ipagbili ang kanilang karapatan, at buong tapang nilang binantayan ang halalan hanggang sa bilangan ng mga balota.

    ito lamang ang aking maipapangako sa inyo bilang pundasyon ng ating tuluyang pagkakabuklod buklod at pagkakaisang magbubunsod ng habangbuhay na kaalwanan sa ating pamumuhay – pagyayamanin natin ang ating sariling wika, kultura at mga kaugaliang kinagisnan. tama na ang pikit matang pagyakap sa banyagang kamalayan. kailangang makilala tayo bilang pilipino – may isang pambansang wikang mag-uugnay sa ating lahat at nabibigkis ng kaugaliang panandaliang nilimot ng nagdaang mga pamunuan. ibalik natin ang bayanihan sa gitna ng makabagong kabihasnan. dito tayo tumanyag. dito tayo hinangaan ng sinumang banyagang naging panauhin sa ating mga tahanan. hindi imposible ito sapagkat nakikita ko na kung magiging bigkis ng ating pagkakaisa ang pagtutulungang walang hinihinging kapalit katulad noon, sama sama tayo sa pag-unlad at walang maiiwang nagdarahop sa alinmang sulok ng ating pamayanan.

    02/15/2007, Tribune

    It will be a super heavyweight political fight between second term Rep. Darlene Antonino Custodio and boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, the FG’s proxy to try to knock out a pro-impeachment member of Congress representing the 1st District of South Cotabato.

    Guns, goons, gold and Garci will be on Manny’s side against 30 years of outstanding service of the Antoninos, from Darlenes’s father, Mayor Adel Antonino and mother Lou, a three-term congresswoman.

    At 32 years of age, Darlene has blossomed into a good eloquent legislator while Manny at 29 reached boxing heights amassing at least P300 million in boxing purses and commercials. But the big question remains: Can Manny Pacquiao, a Grade Three pupil, discharge the functions of a legislator credibility as against the veteran Darlene, the La Salle business administration graduate?

    Darlene has served as deputy majority leader and deputy minority leader. She has authored four pieces of landmark legislation namely, 1) Anti-Violence against Women and Children Act, 2) Anti-Trafficking of Persons Act, 3) the Juvenile Justice Law and 4) Reclassification of Tuna Landline Law. Everyone agrees she has performed well.

    The Antoninos are original NPC members, the party of SMC chairman Danding Cojuangco. Manny Pacquiao is the San Miguel Beer poster boy. Whom will Danding and Ramon Ang support?

    The Antoninos are regrouping for this super bout with Daddy Adel taking over as campaign manager.

    I said, “siyempre, maraming dapat ikagalit sa mga ginagaw nyo.”

    As a parting shot, he told me, “Positive naman ha.”

    I said, “I’m always positive. I advocate truth and justice.”

    He said, “Naloko na.”

    Pacquiao ‘di puwede sa South Cotabato – Abalos
    Ang Pilipino STAR Ngayon 02/14/2007

    Muling iginiit ni Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Benjamin Abalos na hindi puwedeng kumandidato si Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao bilang kongresista sa Unang Distrito ng South Cotabato hangga’t hindi nito nareresolba ang isyu sa kanyang residency.

    Ayon kay Abalos, magiging problema ni Pacquiao ang residency dahil lumilitaw na tatlo ang tinitirhan nito matapos manumpa o mag-”under oath” sa Comelec na nakatira siya sa Mandaluyong, Maynila at General Santos city.

    “Si Manny ay isa sa boksingerong sa Mandaluyong nagmula. Ang pangaral ko sa kanya bilang isang ama, ito munang profession mo bilang boxer ang asikasuhin mo,” sabi ni Abalos.

    Mas magiging mainam umano na kumonsulta muna si Pacman sa kanyang abugado tungkol sa isyu ng residency.

    Mga kinalap na jokes na may katotohanan sa pangkandidato ni Pakyaw laban sa Darling ng bayan:

    1. Rep. Roilo Golez: “This is the wrong ring for him. Ibang labanan ang pulitika. Walang gloves.Kung nais nitong talunin si Custodio, dapat marunong itong sumunod sa political rules at ibaba ang kanyang timbang sa 85 lbs. at kapag ginawa niya ito, hindi umano magtatagal sa isang round ang Pambansang Kamao.”

    2. Agusan del Sur Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza: “Ano ba naman siya! Lalabanan niya si Darlene eh paper weight division ang labanan dito. Baka sa division na iyan siya makakatikim ng knockout!”

    3. Iloilo Rep. Rolex Suplico: “Advice ko kay Pacquiao, huwag nang lumaban. Kapag nagpilit siya baka makatikim siya ng knockout kay Darlene. May tulog siya kay Darlene. Hindi naman laban ito ng kamao eh.”

    4. Maging ang administration congressman na si Rep. Prospero Nograles ay hindi pabor sa pagsabak ni Pacquiao sa pulitika: “It’s a classic case of the beauty and the beast.”

    5. Comelec Chairman Abalos: Mateteknikal si Pacquiao dahil ilang buwan lamang ang nakakaraan nang ipalipat nito sa Maynila ang kanyang rehistrasyon at kamakailan lamang ipinabalik sa General Santos City.

  248. Leonard Leonard

    Sa totoo lang ay naaawa ako kay Manny Pacquiao, dahil sa ginagamit siya ni gma para itapat kay Antonino na alam natin na tinik sa landas ni gma. At maraming pera si Manny para itustos sa kanyang kandidatura. Makakatipid ang grupo ni gma dahil mahihiya si manny na humingi ng pera sa grupo niya, natural me pera siya e. Halatang halata ang taktika ni gma… ginagawa niyang tanga ang mga taga Gensan, na sana naman ay hindi makuha sa kasikatan ni manny. Ako balak ko rin sanang kumandidato bilang congressman ng aming lalawigan ang problema, hindi ako sikat, dahil hindi naman ako artista at lalong hindi boksingero at isa pa ay wala akong pera na gagastusin sa pangangampanya na alam natin na aabutin ng milyones. Mga taga Gensan mag-isip muna kayo ng 10 beses bago ninyo iboto si manny pacquiao. Sana si bata Reyes at si yung isa pa na nag champion din sa bilyar ay kumandidato na rin sana, tutal pasikatan yata ang labanan ngayon e. Wala na ang prinsipyo,,, wala na ang dignidad,,, para na silang mga baboy na patuloy na gustong maglubalob sa maruming putik ng pulitika..

  249. Ren Ren

    Yuko,

    Si Pakyaw ba ang kawawa or is it the people who will get the shorter end of the stick if he get elected?

    I saw the interview with his Inang on TV Patrol and one of the anchor ask him why not just set up a foundation if he wants to help. His reply was “meron na ho akong foundation mauubos ho ang pera ko kung hindi ako tatakbo sa pulitika”.

    His statement above tells us why of all position he wants to run for congress when he knows and his backers know exactly that he can’t even win in a debate with elementary grade schoolers what more with congress people………….. it’s all about the pork barrel allocated to these congress people. The guy has no clue what he will do in the halls of congress but knew exactly that these pork barrel are un-audited so he can use peoples money in his alm giving charities kuno. If he “manage” it well he can even pocket some extra “pocket change” and keep his pugilist prize money intact.

    He may be the best pound for pound boxer today but it is not a guarantee that his intentions are pure in his bid for a congressional seat. Case in point is his refusal to take a dna test on the baby he alledgedly fathered with a waitress. If he is not the father he should take the test and get it over with, his refusal is a travesty and an injustice to the offspring who will grow up without a father. Can we trust a weasel enough to send him to congress, aba baka magkalat ang lahi nito na walang makikilalang ama sa buhay nila.

    Hmm…for a while, I thought everybody in this amen corner was describing FPJ…si Manny pala…Methinks, whether you guys like it or not Manny will ultimately triumph in one of the biggest upsets in the history of South Cotabato politics unless of course the Antoninos employ their usual vote-getting wizardry for the umpteenth time. Sa totoo lang, people in Dadiangas are simply tired of the Antonino’s hold over local politics. This is political dynasty at its grossest! Lolo ni Darlene naging Senator, followed by her Lola Magnolia, tapos her dad Adelbert naging Assemblyman and after that became Mayor for 2 terms while her Mom became congresswoman for 3 terms and then we have Darlene. Still not satisfied, pati current Mayor na si Acharon hawak nila & the poor chap simply can not move without their say-so…. 20 or something years in power and it’s still not enough to whet their appetites. How power hungry can this family get? And for the life of me, I dunno how Darlene claims to represent our district. She wasn’t even born here nor has she even gone to school here. Ni bahay sa GenSan eh wala. So what are her ties to the district that supposedly she represents other than her family name? At least Manny is from here and knows our local problems compared to Darlene who dwells so much on issues that simply we over here don’t care a whit about!

    Sinabi mo pa! I don’t trust adulterers. When I saw him in Tokyo in 2005, I thought he was a straight guy, no affairs outside of marriage, and I admired him for his “devotion to God.” However, when I read about the child he refused to recognize, I thought he could not be an ideal role model for young Filipino kids, and that his “devotion to God” was nothing but hypocrisy!

    Pero shocking naman iyong sinabi niya na ayaw niyang gumawa ng foundation for the poor dahil mauubos ang pera niya kaya doon na lang sa Kongreso para gumawa ng pera! If that is not corruption, what is? Abangan ang gagawing kalokohan ng ungas na ito!

    Fortunately, Cotabato is one province with better voters who know whom to vote right!!! Kailangan lang talaga i-expose ang posibleng magagawang kalokohan ng mokong na ito!

  255. Nelbar,

    Huwag mo nang pansinin iyan. Nang-iinis lang iyan. Baka si Luli o ang kuya lang niya iyan!

  256. Ren, welcome. I look forward to your energetic contribution to the discussion here.

Ubos din ang kita niya kaya hayun natakot ang ungas at gusto nang maging tongressista dahil malakas daw ang tong sa Tongress!!! Anak ng pating pala ang walanghiyaan diyan! Binaboy ng husto ni Pandak!

    Itong mga sundalong pinoy, hindi ba sila nakukunsensiyang kasabwat sila sa pambababoy ng bansa nila? Ibagsak ang administrasyon! Iboto ang oposisyon!

    Ellen,

    Thank you for the warm welcome, I was invited here by Yuko a fellow advocate for the overseas absentee voting initiative.

    This personality and patronage based politics has to stop, we have reach the lowest pathetic ebb in politics seeing the likes of Pacquiao is clearly an insult to our electorates and the whole nation as well.

    We have a manifesto (Lalay Rispens-Noel of Netherlands has e-mailed you a copy, if you have not received it I can send you one) in this regard and may I take the opportunity to request you to kindly consider doing a write up on said initiative?

    Zenzennai, siyempre, P. Acharon Boulevard named after Pedro Acharon Sr. as opposed to Pedro Acharon Jr. who’s the current mayor.

    Anna aka Philippine Vigil, I know you’ll vote for Darlene, since she’s young & ohh sooo cute. Eassssy, di vah?

    I have sent Ellen the manifesto as a matter of fact. I just cannot post it here without her permission.

    Yuko,

    Thanks for doing that, true out of respect we should not just barge in and post without her permission out of respect.

    I am a filipino citizen from Region 3 and a permanent resident of USA. I am not an avid fan of re-electionist Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio just happy to know she is leading the congressional race with her opponent Manny Pacquiao. I will be very upset if Manny Pacquiao wins, what we need is somebody who is really qualified to work in the Congress. We have to take into consideration the educational background of any future candidates.

    Sincerely yours,
