P20 milyon bawat isang boto sa ConAss

Manloloko talaga itong si Gloria Arroyo.

May nagsabi sa amin na ayun sa isang kongresista na nandun sa Manila Hotel noong Huwebes sa pormal na pagsanib ng Lakas at Kampi, tinawag raw sila ni Arroyo sa isang kwarto at sinabihan na kailangan mapasa na ang House Resolution 1109 para sa Constituent Assembly na hindi kailangan ang Senado para mapalitan ang Constitution.

Ipinangako raw ni Arroyo na bibigyan siya ng tig-P20 milyon sa bawat kongresista na boboto para maipasa ang HR 1109.

Kailangan ni Arroyo ang boto ng three-fourths ng House of Representatives. Mga 200 na kongresista yun. Kung bibigay siya ng tig-P20 milyon para sa 200 na boto, aabot yun sa P4 na bilyon.

Kayang-kaya, maraming pera sa kaban ng bayan. Perang buwis ng taumbayan. Pera galing sa pawis at dugo ng mga OFW.

De Castro: GMA Jr?

Sa kanyang pag-anunsyo na gusto niyang kumandidato bilang bise-presidente, sinabi Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno na “transformational politics” ang kanyang pairalin.

Ano yun? Tansform para sa mas matinding kurakutan at dayaan?

Ngayong araw, gagawing pormal na raw ang pag-iisa ng Lakas-CMD at Kampi, ang dalawang maka-administrasyon na partido. Si Gloria Arroyo daw and chairperson at siya ang mag-appoint ng interim officers. Kaya tatak Gloria Arroyo talaga itong pinagsanib na partido.

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.

Lessons from the past

ANC viewers watching the interview of Metropolitan Trial Court Judge Jorge Emmanuel Lorredo by Willard Cheng aired live on the lunchtime news “Dateline” Wednesday last week were puzzled why it was abruptly cut.

It was the part when Lorredo was warning about the return of martial law. Lorredo, by the way, is the judge that stirred public attention with his unusual May 4 order for the arraignment of Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada on the perjury case filed by Mike Defensor, former presidential chief of staff.

I asked a friend close to Lorredo and she shared with me Lorredo’s ruminations about the topic that is being mentioned when talking about the direction of the Arroyo administration but is not quite taken seriously because people can’t seem to imagine the depth of her obsession to stay in power.

Prepare for ‘Gloria Forever’

If the real purpose in the charter change resolutions pending in the Malacañang -controlled House of Representatives is not to prolong the hold on power of Gloria Arroyo, why are her minions desperately pushing for charter change less than a year away from the 2010 elections when they know very well that two out of three Filipinos do not want charter change now?

No amount of public assurance by House Speaker Prospero Nograles and Camarines Sur Luis Villafuerte, authors of separate resolutions calling for amendments to the Constitution, will make the people believe that all these frantic moves have nothing to do with making sure that Arroyo continues to be in power, in whatever form or position, so that they also can continue enjoying the protection and privileges of being aligned with with her.

Last Monday, Nograles pushed for the approval of his House Bill 737 which seeks to amend the economic provisions which limits foreign ownership of corporations involved in exploration, development, and utilization of natural resources to 40 per cent.

Maaring ipilit ni Arroyo ang sarili

Sa tatlong taong tinanong ng Social Weather Station kung gusto pa nila na si Gloria Arroyo pa rin ang nasa Malacañang paglampas ng June 30, 2010, dalawa ang nagsabing “ayaw ko.”

Ngunit ang tanong: may epekto ba ito kay Arroyo, sa kanyang pamilya at sa kanyang mga alagad? Kung meron man, yun ay lalong maghahanap ng iba pang paraan na tuloy ang kailang ligaya lampas ng 2010 at kung hindi talaga mapalawig ang pagpanatili sa kapangyarihan, paano nila mapruteksyunan ang kanilang sarili.

Nilabas ng SWS noong Martes ang survey na kanilang isinagawa noong Pebrero 20-23 sa tanong na, “Kayo po ba ay sang-ayon o hindi sang-ayon sa Charter Change na papayagan si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na manatili bilang PINUNONG OPISYAL NG PILIPINAS nang lampas sa Hunyo 30, 2010?”

‘What lures Arroyo to Dubai?’

Opposition says reasons for frequent visits ‘flimsy’
Malaya

WHY the frequent trips to Dubai?

Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay yesterday said Dubai should be one of the last countries in President Arroyo’s Middle East travels if her aim, as Malacañang claims, is to secure jobs for Filipinos.

“Recruitment agencies are saying that there are no jobs available in Dubai, which has been one of the hardest hit by the financial crisis. But why insist on flying to Dubai at every opportunity?” said Binay, president of the United Opposition (UNO).

San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito, chairman of UNO-National Capital Region, said Malacañang should come clean on reports of Arroyo’s “personal side trips” to attend to her personal finances.

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde dismissed the reports.

Why Arroyo frequents Dubai

Gloria Arroyo is becoming a frequent visitor of Dubai in recent months, especially since the financial crisis in the United States that hit hard her family’s favorite investment firms, Lehman Brothers and Merryl Lynch.

Serge Remonde’s spin is that Arroyo is on a two-day visit to Dubai to “ seek more job employment for the country’s expatriate workers.” What has become of her labor officials that taxpayers are subsidizing with billion of pesos in salaries and allowances?

After fleeing Thailand’s protesters, Malacañang said Arroyo went to Dubai accompanied by “ Press Secretary Serge Remonde, Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Favila, Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes, among other Cabinet members, and some congressmen.”

ASEAN summit aborted

Protesters storm Thai hotel; Arroyo, leaders flee
Philippine Daily Inquirer

PATTAYA, THAILAND – Helicopters evacuated foreign leaders out of this beach resort city after anti-government protests forced the Thai government to postpone the 14th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders Summit.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo boarded a civilian helicopter which landed on the roof of the luxury Royal Cliff Grand Hotel, where the meeting was being held, Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said by telephone from Pattaya.

“She’s very safe, and very OK,” said Remonde, adding that Ms Arroyo and the other leaders were never in any danger. “The protesters were not rowdy,” he said.
