Walang paki-alam si Arroyo

Published by Ellen on June 22, 2009

Kung walang masama na binabalak si Gloria Arroyo, madali naman niyang sabihin na pagdating ng Hunyo 30,2010 bababa na siya sa Malacañang dahil yun naman talaga ang nakasaad sa Constitution.

Sa totoo lang, sa bawat minuto na nasa Malacañang si Arroyo ay paglapastangan sa batas at Constitution dahil hindi naman talaga siya binoto, kailan man, ng sambayanang Pilipino. Inagaw niya ang pagka-presidente noong Enero 2001 at nandaya siya noong May 20004. ‘Yan ang sinasabi ni Susan Roces na, “You stole the presidency not once but twice.”

Kaya lang sa sobrang kabaitan ng Pilipino, parang nagiging doormat na tayo. Tinatapakan na hindi pa rin uma-alma. Ayaw kasi nating ng gulo. Kahit harap-harapan na tayo niloloko, okay lang basta walang gulo. Hindi natin naiisip ang mas malaking gulong idinudulot ng isang ilegal na administrasyon.

Biyaheng Colombia ni Gloria Arroyo

Published by Ellen on June 20, 2009

Sa mga press release ng Malacañang tungkol sa biyahe ni Gloria Arroyo sa Japan (Hunyo 17 hanggang 20) at Brazil (Hunyo 22 hanggang 25), walang sinasabi tungkol sa Colombia.

Napag-alaman ng VERA Files noong Biyernes na pag-alis ni Arroyo sa Tokyo ng Sabado, siya ay pupunta sa Cartagena, Colombia. Buong araw ngayon ay sa Colombia siya at pupunta siya sa Brazil bukas.

Napag-alaman din namin na ang host niya sa Colombia ay ang negosyanteng si Jaime Augusto Zobel at ang kanyang asawang si Lizzie. Pangalawang beses na raw ito na bumisita si Arroyo sa Colombia at sina Zobel at tumira siya sa bahay ng mga Zobel doon. Ang una ay noong November 2008 galing siya sa Peru kung saan dumalo siya sa Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

Mag-ingat sa tuso

Kayo ba ay naniniwala na talagang tatakbo si Gloria Arroyo bilang kongresista ng Pampanga sa 2010 eleksyon?

Malakas ang kutob ko na isa na namang pakulo niya ito at meron talaga siyang ibang maitim na balak. Suspetsa ko diversionary tactic lang ito.

Nakakapagtaka kasi sila mismo ang nagpapalutang. Si Arroyo mismo. Sinabi nya sa kanyang talumpati, “anong malay nyo, baka tumakbo akong kongresista sa Pampanga.” Ito ay sinundan ng mga pahayag ng kanyang deputy spokesperson na si Lorelei Fajardo na wala namang batas na nagbabawal na tumakbong kongresista.

The Class of ‘78

“It ain’t over till the fat lady sings”, is a wit’s description of how “boring” operas end. Those who do not appreciate the long arias and have ears only for the operatic highlights often wonder when it would all end.

What this country has had to suffer through the years has been a long and badly sung, badly-scripted, badly-acted opera. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has inflicted her unworthy presence in the life of the nation far too long. First she pushed off the popular troubadour, Joseph Estrada, off the stage, even before the half-way intermission. Then she connived with Garci and Abalos and “her” generals in both the military and the police, in order to keep the klieg lights focused on her bad act for six more years.

It has thus been eight years, four months, and eleven days since she mounted the stage as our prima donna. Before her, no other don or donna except Ferdinand Marcos stayed in power as long. The latter had been president by genuine election for two legal terms. But on his seventh year in office, he declared martial law, and proceeded to rule for another 13 years and 5 months until a mutiny in the ranks of his praetorians, supported by people power, got him and his family packing into Hawaii, courtesy of the United States military.

Papayag ba tayo?

Bukas, magkita-kita tayo sa Ayala ng ika-lima ng hapon.

Ipakita natin ang ating pagtutol sa panloloko na ginagawa ni Gloria Arroyo sa pamamagitan ng Con-Ass na kanyang isinusulong pra siya manatili sa kapangyarihan habambuhay.

Sabi ni Rep. Mauricio Domogan, isa sa may-akda ng nakakadiri na House Resolution 1109, na kahit mag-ngangawa ang mga tao sa kalsada, wala silang paki-alam. Itutuloy nila ang kanilang ilegal na gawain.

Updates from the Inquirer:

1.. Rep. Mauricio Domogan, one of the authors of House Resolution No. 1109, said they are calling a constituent assembly (Con-ass) next month to amend the Constitution without the Senate despite outrage by religious and civil society groups.

2.Making sense of 1109 – Fr. Joaquin Bernas

The simmering rage

No doubt about it. The abominable House Resolution 1109 that trampled on the basic law of the land was passed by the House of Representatives because Gloria Arroyo ordered it.

Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo noticed towards midnight last Tuesday, when the voting was about to take place that administration congressmen were marching into the plenary hall.

Ocampo said those congressmen couldn’t be made to return to the Batasan at that late hour by House Speaker Prospero Nograles. “It had to be an order by Gloria Arroyo,” Ocampo said.

Ituloy ang Con-Ass

Published by Ellen on June 3, 2009

Update: House has adjourned without convening the Con-Ass.

Update: We got info that Gloria Arroyo’s congressmen will convene the Constituent Assembly before it adjourns Friday. It could be tonight.

Gusto ko lubus-lubusin na ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga kampon sa Kongreso ang pambabastos ng Constitution at panloloko sa taumbayan.

Total naipasa na nila House Resolution 1109, para bumuo ng Constituent Assembly na magpalit ng Constitution. Dapat sa pagbukas ng Kongreso ulit sa Hulyo (adjourn sila sa Biyernes), mag Con-Ass na sila. Sigurado handa na ang draft ng bagong Constitution na ginawa ng Malacañang.

Sigurado na ang kinalabasan nitong bastusan ng batas ay ang pagpapatuloy ni Gloria Arroyo sa Malacañang lampas ng 2010.

The big set-up

Published by Ellen on May 31, 2009

Hardly had the croaking of the the congressmen who were at the Manila Hotel for the launching of what pundits call Palaka (Partido Lakas at Kampi) died down last Thursday when they were summoned by Gloria Arroyo to a room where she gave her marching orders: pass the resolution amending the Constitution.

Arroyo, the source said, offered the congressmen a hefty incentive: over and above their pork barrel, they will be given P20 million each.

There are two resolutions calling for the amendment of the Constitution pending at the Lower House. HR 737, authored by House Speaker Prospero Nograles, treats amendment of the Constitution as an ordinary legislation to be approved by three fourths of members of Congress, voting separately.
