Bawal magsabi ng totoo

Published by Ellen on July 31, 2006

Pinaggalitan si Ambassador Francis Al Bichara ng Department of Foreign Affairs dahil sinabi niya na kaya mabagal ang evacuation ng mga OFW mula Lebanon dahil kinukulang sila ng pera.

Siyempre magagalit talaga ang DFA at Malacañang dahil sinabi ito ni Bichara, isang araw matapos magyabang si Gloria Arroyo sa kanyang state-of-the nation address na “May pera na… may pera tayo”.

Itong pagmamayagpag ni Arroyo na “May pera tayo” ay kasama sa kanyang propaganda na magaling siyang pangulo kaya raw “may pera na tayo.”

Suspicious website

Published by Ellen on July 30, 2006

The military is bringing the battle for the Filipino people’s hearts and minds into cyberspace.

Last week, the Sundalo website debuted in cyberspace (www.sundalo.bravehost.com). The site’s title is “Sundalo:Tagapagtaggol (sic) ng Pilipino”.

Neri Colmenares, Codal convenor and spokesperson and Tonyo Cruz,media officer of Counsel for the Defense of Liberties bring to the public’s attention another disturbing trend as documented in FROM FACTS TO ACTION,(click here) a report of the International Fact-Finding Mission on Attacks Against Filipino Lawyers which was undertaken by the Dutch Lawyers for Lawyers Foundation and with the participation of Lawyers Without Borders and the International Association of Democratic Lawyers.

FROM FACTS TO ACTION documents the fact-finding mission’s attempt to
gather information on the murders of legal professionals in the
Philippines.

To date, 10 judges and 15 lawyers (including a law student) have been
slain since 2001. Many of them were human rights lawyers and public
interest barristers.

BABALA SA TUKO

Itong tula ay gawa ni Bienvenido Lumbera, National Artist .

Binasa niya ito sa rally sa labas ng Batasan Pambansa habang ginu-glorya ni Gloria Arroyo ang taumbayan na pinalakpakan naman ng mga tsonggo sa Kongreso.

Tunay na National Artist si Bien dahil dama niya ang naramdaman ng taumbayan at hindi siya nangingiming ilabas sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagsusulat. Siya ay isa sa mga nagsampa ng panglawang impeachment complaint laban kay Arroyo.

Roldan’s friend

Published by Ellen on July 28, 2006

Anti-crime crusader Tessie Ang-See was angry when I saw her on TV last Wednesday.

Ang-See, spokesperson for Citizens Against Crime, finds it incomprehensible that Judge Agnes Reyes-Carpio didn’t see the role of actor and former Quezon City representative Dennis Roldan (real name: Mitchell Y. Gumabao) as mastermind in the kidnapping of three-year old Kenshi Yu last year, in her decision the other day to grant bail to him.

Kidnap for ransom is a heinous crime and is supposed to be non-bailable but Roldan walked out from his detention cell yesterday after posting a P500,000 bail bond.

TNT sa NPA

Published by Ellen on July 26, 2006

Takot raw si Joc-joc Bolante, dating undersecretary ng agriculture at matalik na kaibigan ni Mike Arroyo, sa New People’s Army kaya siya humihingi ngayon ng asylum sa Amerika.

Ang asylum ay binibigay ng isang bayan sa national ng ibang bansa na namimiligro ang buhay sa kanyang bansa dahil sa kalupitan ng ginagawa sa kanya.

Dapat matuwa ang NPA at epektibo pala sila sa mga taong nang-abuso ng kanilang kapangyarihan nang sila ay nasa poder. Si Bolante ay nakaharap sa imbestigasyon ng Senado tungkol sa sobra P3 bilyon na pera para sa magsasaka na kanyang ginamit para sa kampanya ni Gloria Arroyo noong 2004. Kasama doon ang P728 milyon na pambili ng abono ng mga mahirap na magsasaka.
