Sa unang pahayag ni dating Maguindanao election supervisor Lintang Bedol tungkol sa dayaan noong 2004 at 2007 na eleksyun, bistado na kaagad ang mali ng kanyang mga detalye.

Maaring may totoo doon sa sinabi niya, ngunit mukhang hindi tama ang pagsama niya kay Comelec Commissioner Rene Sarmiento doon saan biyahe sa Gen. Santos City para mag-authenticate ng Election returns noong 2007.

Hindi natin masabi kung talagang sadya niyang guluhin ang sarili niyang pahayag o talagang sa sobrang sanay niya sa pagsisinungaling ay naghalo-halo na ang katotohanan at ang mga inimbento niya at siya mismo hindi na niya malaman kung alin ang totoo.

Ngunit kahit paano naman, may kabutihan na ring nangyari dahil ngayon gusto na ni Sen. Chiz Escudero na magkaroon ulit ng imbestigasyun ang Senado tungkol doon para malaman ng taumbayan ang buong katotohanan.

Legalizing the illegal

Published by Ellen on March 18, 2010

This is what is disturbing about the Supreme Court decision allowing Gloria Arroyo to make a midnight appointment to succeed Chief Justice Reynato Puno: Arroyo can do anything illegal to stay in power beyond June 2010 and the Supreme Court will give it a mantle of legality.

This is the scenario that we are looking: There will be partial failure of election. Only in the national level. That means no president, vice president and senators would be proclaimed by June 30, 2010.

Since the term of incumbent Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile will end on June 30, there will be no Senate President, who is third in the Constitutional order of succession. (There have been calls for Enrile to do the patriotic act of resigning as senate president so that someone whose term will end in 2013 could be elected senate president but he has refused.)
Meanwhile, there would be proclamation of winners in the local posts including members of the House of Representatives.

There have been reports of Gloria Arroyo subsidizing the campaign of a huge number of congressmen to make sure that she gets elected as speaker.

The speaker of the House is fourth in the line of succession.

Nakakabahalang kalakaran sa Comelec

Makalintal: Padaca victim of Comelec clique

Matindi itong si Comelec Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer.

Si Ferrer and presiding commissioner ng second division ng Comelec.Noong Lunes, sa isang nakakagulat na desisyon, idineklara nina Ferrer na si Benjamin Dy, kandidato ng Lakas- Kampi, raw ang nanalo laban kay Grace Padaca (Liberal Party) sa 2007 na eleksyun para gubernador ng Isabela.

Nakakagulat kasi nanalo si Padaca, isang Ramon Magsaysay awardee, noong 2007 na may 237,128 na boto laban kay Dy na nakakuha lamang ng 220,121 na boto. Kaya lamang ng 17,007 na boto.

Prosecution witness favors defendants

Published by Ellen on July 17, 2009

Former Flag-officer-in-command Mateo Mayuga was the only witness presented by the prosecution yesterday in the mutiny case against 28 officers implicated in the alleged plan to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo in February 2006.

Mayuga’s testimony however favored the defendants.

Mayuga, who is more known for the “Mayuga report”- an investigation of the participation of the military in the cheating in the 2004 elections, the results of which have been kept secret by the Arroyo administration, testified about the meeting on Feb. 23, 2006 called by the AFP Chief Generoso Senga.

Ang umamin, ang hindi umamin

Ang pinakamai-init na isyu noong isang linggo at hanggang ngayon ay ang sex video nina Hayden Kho sa iba’t-ibang babae kasama na doon si Katrina Halili.

Noong isang linggo rin, namatay si Sammy Ong, ang deputy director ng National Bureau of Investigation, na siyang tumulong na mailabas sa publiko ang “Hello Garci” tapes kung saan maririnig ang pag-uusap ni Gloria Arroyo at ni dating Comelec Commission Virgilio Garcillano kung paano retokihin ang resulta ng eleksyon sa Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao para siya ang mananalo kahit na ang tunay talaga na nanalo ay ang kanyang kalaban na si Fernando Poe, Jr.

May pagkapareho ang alawang pangyayaring ito: ang ilegal na pag-tape. Inamin ni Hayden na siya ang nag-video tape ng kanyang pagtatalik. Mukhang may weirdo rin itong doktor na ito, ano. Sino ba naman ang matinong tao na gusto kinukunan ang kanyang pagtatalik, isang bagay na napaka-personal.

Sammy Ong

Ayan, pwede na ipatupad ng mga galamay ni Gloria Arroyo ang kanilang arrest warrant kay dating NBI Director Samuel Ong sa kasong sedition dahil sa kanyang pagsiwalat ng pandaraya ni Gloria Arroyo sa 2004 na eleksyon.

Matagal na nilang pinaghahanap si Ong. Pumunta lang sila sa punerarya kung saan siya nakahimlay..

Siguro masaya na rin ang Court of Appeals na kamakailan lang ay binuhay ang kasong kriminal na serious illegal detention kahit na ibinasura na ni Judge Benjamin Pozon ng Makati Regional Court.

Pag-uusig sa katotohanan

Published by Ellen on May 9, 2009

Noong Biyernes, nagpiyansa si Che-Che Lazaro, ang kilalang host ng Probe Team, ang TV news-magazine sa ABS-CBN kaugnay sa kasong wiretapping na isinampa ng isang opisyal ng GSIS laban sa kanya.

Si Rez Cortez, actor na masugid na taga-suporta ng namatay na si Fernando Poe, Jr, ang dinaya ni Gloria Arroyo, ay nag-apela ngayon sa Court of Appeals dahil sa arrest warrant na na-isyu laban sa kanya at kina Samuel Ong, ang dating director ng National Bureau of Investigation na naglabas ng “Hello Garci” tapes, ang kanyang driver na si Angelito Santiago at negosyanteng si Wilson Fenix.

Ito ay nangyayari habang patuloy ang paguusig kay Jun Lozada, ang star witness ng NBN/ZTE, ni Mike Defensor, dating presidential chief of staff ni Gloria Arroyo na ngayon ay pinuno ng Philippine National Railways.

Magmatyag, magbantay

Napuyat ako sa kakahintay kay Joc-Joc Bolante, ang matalik na kaibigan ni Mike Arroyo na dumating noong Martes ng gabi mula sa dalawang taong pagkakulong sa Estado Unidos.

Hindi na ako nakipagsiksikan sa loob ng NAIA dahil bawat media entity, isang reporter lang ang kailangan. May reporter naman kami doon sa loob, kaya doon ako sa mga concerned citizens na gustong hikayatin si Bolante na magsabi ng totoo.

Hindi namin nasilayan si Bolante dahil alam naman natin lahat na pagkatapos ma-turn over siya ng Bureau of Immigration at National Bureau of Invesitgation kay Senate Deputy Sergeant-at-arms Jaime Dimacale, isinakay siya sa naghihintay na ambulansya papuntang St. Luke’s Hospital.

Sen. Rodolfo Biazon yesterday said a probe into allegations that switching of 2004 election returns took place while the documents were in the custody of House should be handled by another body.

Biazon, chair of the Senate national defense committee, suggested that the Senate electoral reform committee headed by Sen. Richard Gordon undertake a fresh inquiry. Gordon was not available for comment.
