Bawal magsabi ng totoo

Published by Ellen on December 19, 2009

Kung kailan nagsabi ng totoo itong si Lorelei Fajardo, saka siya natigbak.

Ayun sa balita, tinanggal si Fajardo dahil sa kanyang sinabi noong, Nov. 25, tatlong araw pagkatapos nangyari ang karumal-dumal na krimen sa Maguindanao kung saan 57 na tao ang namatay sa masaker na ang suspetsa ay kagagawan ng pamilyang Ampatuan.

Ito kasi ang sinabi ni Fajardo: “I don’t think the President’s friendship with the Ampatuans will be severed. Just because they’re in this situation doesn’t mean we will already turn our backs on them.” ( Sa isip ko, hindi masisira ang pagkakaibigan ng Pangulo sa mga Ampatuan. Porke’t nalagay sila sa ganitong sitwasyun, ay tatalikuran na sila.”)

What do you want to give Gloria Arroyo for Christmas?

I asked my Facebook friends what they want to give Gloria Arroyo for Christmas and the answers validate surveys that she is the most disliked Malacañang occupant .

Marife Guzman Toledo said she giver her “sandpaper, pangkaskas sa makapal na mukha.”

Chi Yap would like to give Arroyo the “toys” of her best friends, the Ampatuans: “chain saw and backhoe.” Reynaldo Dillera Barretto is thinking along that line too. He said he will give Arroyo “ Granada na nahukay dito sa Maguindanao. Ipasubo ko sa mouth nya at backhoe ng mga Ampatuan.”

A semi-permanent state of emergency?

Published by Ellen on October 8, 2009

Malaya editorial:

Gloria Arroyo appears to have turned truly insane as she counts the days to her exit on June 30. Is the declared policy of prolonging the nationwide state of emergency in the wake of the devastation of typhoon “Ondoy” her perverse way of exacting retribution on the people for hating and distrusting her?

A deliberate policy of prolonging an emergency does not make sense. After the initial declaration, national and local government units have been freed to release their calamity and contingency funds. Relief and rehabilitation work can now be bidded out without going through stringent requirements for the duration of the emergency. Assessment of damage and drawing up of appropriate rehabilitation programs can be done within 60 days, the duration of an emergency unless otherwise extended.

But all of 365 days and counting to get these things done? Truly it is the hopelessly incompetent who cannot the job fast enough. We have been saying for a long time that Gloria, for all her self-proclaimed expertise as a manager, is at core an incompetent. Many were dazzled in her early years by the image she projected of being a modernizing politician cum technocrat. We were among the few who saw through her posturing early on. And proven right later on.

Bakit wala yatang pinapalabas na pera si Arroyo para sa mag nasalanta ng bagyong Ondoy?

Published by Ellen on September 30, 2009

Napansin nyo ba mula Sabado, nang nananalasa ang bagyong Ondoy hanggang ngayon, wala pang order si Gloria Arroyo na magpalabas ng pera mula sa contingency fund?

Tiningnan ko ang website ng Office of the Press Secretary kung saan lahat na press release ng Malacañang lumalabas, wala ni isang order magpalabas ng pera.

Dati kapag may bagyo, pasikat kaagad si Arroyo. Magu-order siyang magpalabas ng pera. Sa budget mayroong mga P1 bilyon na calamity fund at P1 bilyon din para sa contigency fund. Kaya total na mga P2 bilyon sa isang taon. Sa opisina yan ng Presidente at kailangan ang kayang approval sa pagpalabas nun.

Mikey Arroyo finds Facebook posts ‘depressing”

Published by Ellen on September 30, 2009

In an article written by Gil Cabacungan, Inquirer reported that Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey Arroyo” yesterday pushed for tighter regulation of the Facebook, the world’s leading social networking site, after he claimed to be a victim of a “malicious attack” by one of its members.

“My picture was posted on Facebook with a caption saying I was shopping for wine at the height of “ondoy”. This is another malicious attack on my person. It is so depressing,” Arroyo wrote in an e-mail response to the Facebook post which has appeared in several blogs.

Arroyo claimed he was in Malacañang last Saturday and that it was difficult to cross Katipunan from the village where he lives because of the rising floods. “How could I be at Rustan’s on Katipunan Avenue at the height of Ondoy when Katipunan was impassable at that time? For the record I was in Malañang with my family trying to mobilize rescue and relief operations for people of Metro Manila and for my constituents in my district in Pampanga,” he said.

Malacañang takes back Arroyo’s announcement of turning Palace into evacuation center

Update: Back to Malacañang as evacuation center.

Malacañang is taking back Gloria Arroyo’s announcement that the Place will be converted into a relief and evacuation center for victims of typhoon “Ondoy”.

Former AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon, now chief of the Presidential Management Staff said there was an apparent miscommunication: Malacañang was not supposed to be an evacuation center as Arroyo herself announced Monday.

“This is a repacking center, meaning we will receive donations, repack them, then send them to evacuation centers where the flood victims are,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “If they want to receive relief goods, they should go to the evacuation centers.”
