Try not to puke as you read this:
We ran for the Senate and won on the Arroyo administration slate. Nothing
that has happened since gives us reason not to do the same in our reelection
bid.
We have opposed the President on many major issues, before the Supreme Court no less. And we won.
We fought the Venable contract which involved American money to change the Constitution. We fought the People’s Initiative to do the same. We fought the emasculation of Congress by EO 464 and put the PCGG back under the law when it tried to rise above it. We fought Proclamation 1017, which curtailed freedom of assembly and freedom of the press.
Masarap pala ang kumandidato sa tiket ni Gloria Arroyo.
Sinasabi ng isang kasama sa Wednesday group na inaalok raw sila ng libreng eroplano at helicopter na gagamitin sa kampanya. May panggastos pa na milyun-milyon.
Kaya sana umu-o na si Ralph Recto at si Joker Arroyo sa tiket ng administrasyon at ng makapasok na si Sonny Trillanes sa United Opposition.

San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito, one of the candidates of the United Opposition, today withdrew from the senatorial race.
One of UNO’s spokesmen, Rufus Rodriguez, said Ejercito withdrew after consultation with his father, former President Estrada, for a broader, unified coalition.
Sources said JV is giving way for the entry of Sonia Roco, widow of former Sen. Raul Roco.
Just got a text from JV:
I would like to thank you for the trust and support you have given me as a senatorial aspirant. There comes a time when you need to sacrifice for the sake of the country.
Be rest assured that I will continue standing up for what is right and what is just. Para sa Bayan!
Have the slick operators in Congress put one over Mike Arroyo? The braggart in Malacañang wanted Alan Peter Cayetano expelled from the House of Representatives for daring to expose an alleged loot in a German bank. Of course, for the right price, there were more than enough in the House of Representatives to do his bidding.
But after railroading a suspension recommendation, Rep. Rodolfo Cajes (NPC, Bohol), chair of the ethics panel, said the House may not be able to effect the suspension due to lack of material time.
Have they gotten what was mentioned in the committee hearings as “regalo”? Wasn’t Mike Arroyo shortchanged?
If the May 2007 elections were held today, 14 personalities – seven of whom are officially part of the United Opposition’s senatorial slate, six may…
In the still -to- be -released survey of Pulse Asia for senatorial candidates, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano has moved up to number four from last November’s number 8 spot. In the past months, Mike Arroyo has unleashed his dogs in the House of Representatives against Cayetano.
Malaya’s Wendell Vigilia reports on the latest on Mike Arroyo’s crusade to catapult Cayetano to the Senate:
THE House committee on ethics yesterday recommended the suspension of Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano (NP, Taguig-Pateros) for 45 days for saying presidential spouse Jose Miguel Arroyo maintained a bank account in Germany.
The recommendation will go to the House plenary where a two-third vote or 154 is needed to impose sanctions on a member.
Accused mutiny leader Lt. (s.g.) Antonio Trillanes IV yesterday filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) for senator at the office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Manila.
With the filing, the military said Trillanes is deemed separated from service.
He will not be allowed to go out of his detention cell in Fort Bonifacio to campaign because the military retains jurisdiction over him. If he wins in the senatorial race, the military court will continue trying him.
May kumakalat na text joke ngayon: “Tuwang-tuwa si Pichay sa Senate Survey ng Malacañang kasi number five na siya!”
Di ba nakakagulat?
