Gloria Arroyo forever

Published by Ellen on March 23, 2009

Ang balita, nai-insecure na raw si House Speaker Prospero Nograles dahil mukhang hindi bilib and kanyang mga padrino sa Malacañang sa kanyang liderato sa Kongreso. Hindi raw niya naitutulak ng husto ang charter change.

Kaya kinaka-ilangan pumunta si Mikey Arroyo, anak na kongresista ni Gloria at Mike Arroyo, kay dating House Speaker Jose de Venecia para hingi-in ang kanyang tulong dahil kulang pa raw sila ng mga 20 na boto.

Ang usap-usapan nga si Mike Arroyo mismo ang kuma-usap kay JDV at ang ipinangako raw ay ibalik siya sa pagka-speaker.

US plays game with Arroyo

Update: Rape victim Nicole in US “for good”, terminates services of lawyer.

It is no idle coincidence that the arrest of family members of disgraced Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia , former comptroller of the Armed Forces of the Philippines happened at the time when calls for the abrogation of Visiting Forces Agreement is mounting.

They are part of a high-stakes power play that sadly reduces the Filipino people as pawns. For the United States, at stake is their being able to maintain their diminishing dominance in Asia Pacific amid China’s growing global influence. For Gloria Arroyo, it’s political survival.

Fourteen months away from the end of her corruption-riddled presidency, Gloria Arroyo has been begging for a photo-opportunity with the new U.S president thinking that the picture would negate the creeping impression that the Americans have written her off especially after the World Bank released the report that her husband Mike Arroyo is involved in corruption in public works projects.

Mga huling baraha ni Arroyo

Habang papalapit na ang 2010 na ang pagka-intindi ng marami ay hanggang doon lang ang termino ng nakaw na pagka-presidente ni Gloria Arroyo, nilalabas na ng mag-asawang Arroyo at ng kanilang mga alagad ang kanilang mga huling baraha.

Alam naman natin lahat na walang plano si Gloria Arroyo bumaba sa kanyang hawak na nakaw na kapangyarihan dahil sa dami ng kanyang nagawang krimen laban sa mamamayang Pilipino, takot siyang makasuhan at makulong kasama na ang pamilya.

Hindi na solusyon ang mangibang bansa ngayon dahil nakita natin sa kaso ni Augusto Pinochet ng Chile at ng iba pang international criminals na hindi kinukunsinti ng ibang bansa ang mga dating lider na nanloko ng sariling mamamayan.

Protektado ni Gloria si Mike

Published by Ellen on February 4, 2009

Bistadong-bistado na si Mike Arroyo, ang asawa ni Gloria Arroyo, sa kanyang ginawang pangungumisyon sa mga proyekto ng gobyerno.

Sa imbestigasyon na isinagawa ng Integrity Vice Presidency ng World Bank, lumabas na si Mike Arroyo talaga ang promotor ng kurakutan sa Department of Public Works and Highways. Kaya lalong tumibay ang mga isinawalat nina Jun Lozada at Joey de Venecia tungkol sa papel ni Mike Arroyo sa mga tongpats sa NBN/ZTE deal.

Itong World Bank report kasi ay tungkol lamang sa mga proyekto na kanilang ginastusan. Nagpa-utang sila ng pera at napag-alaman nga nila na kornered ng mga kontraktor na alaga ni Mike Arroyo ang mga kontrata. Siyempre malaki ang kumisyon niya kapalit ng pagkuha mo ng kontrata.

GMA diverts to US, catches DFA by surprise

From Malaya:

President Arroyo is making a quick visit to the United States on Wednesday, catching by surprise even Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo.

Based on Arroyo’s original schedule, she should have left Milan, Italy last night (Manila time) for Saudi Arabia. She was expected in Bahrain Wednesday for an official visit.

A naughty mind in the Palace said maybe the President is still angling for a meeting, even if by chance, with US President Barack Obama.

Gloria Arroyo clutching at straws

This story shows how desperate Gloria Arroyo and her drumbeaters are.

On Jan. 2, Press Secretary Jesus Dureza issued this statement:

“It’s encouraging to note that we have been cited in Bloomberg today, as one of the resilient economies in Asia, along with China. Amidst global financial downturn, we continue to post strong currency and fiscal position. Undeniably, this is the result of the economic reforms instituted by the President early on.

While difficult days are expected ahead, we are in a better position to weather them as long as we keep the course and resist the temptation of divisive politics.

The Philippines and China were being cited as the two Asian economies that fared the best in 2008 and that will do well in 2009.

The following story by TJ Burgonio and Maxim Lucas is in the Inquirer today:

The ultimate insult

Published by Ellen on December 16, 2008

Not a few wish that what happened to U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad last Monday would also happen to Gloria Arroyo.

What happened to Bush the other day in Baghdad is all over TV, newspapers, You Tube, blogs. He was holding a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as part of his farewell tour before he turns over the reins of the United States government to president-elect Barack Obama on Jan. 20, 2009, when a television journalist threw shoes at him.

The swiftness of the action stunned even Bush security team. The journalist, Muntadar al-Zeidi of an Iraqi-owned TV network based in Cairo, Egypt, was able to hurl at Bush his pair of shoes one after another as he shouted, “”This is a farewell kiss, you dog.”

Arroyo’s praetorian guards

The military’s seniority and merit systems are again being strained to protect the illegitimate presidency of Gloria Arroyo.

One of the military officials whose promotion is awaiting confirmation by the Commission on Appointments is Brig. Gen. John Martir.

Martir is one extremely lucky guy. Despite a pending case of malversation of funds and falsification of documents before the Ombudsman, the Board of Generals recommended him for promotion to two-star rank (major general). This is the Martir’ second promotion in six months. Last June he was confirmed as brigadier general despite his having gone on AWOL (absent without leave) for more than one year ( 477) days during the period July 1998 to January 2000.

‘Unhappy is the land that needs a hero’

I’d like Gloria Arroyo and her cabal in the House of Representatives to push charter change to the end.

So what if 64 per cent of Filipinos oppose charter change that would result in Gloria Arroyo staying in power forever? (Only 15 percent agree and 21 per cent are undecided, according to a September-October 2008 survey by the Social Weather Station)

What can those 64 percent, that roughly translates to almost 60 million Filipinos, do? Majority of Filipinos also believe that Gloria Arroyo cheated in the 2004 elections but did they do anything to punish the person who masterminded the thwarting of their will?

Ibasura ang cha-cha, kasama si Gloria

Published by Ellen on December 1, 2008

Maliban sa mga dikit kay Gloria Arroyo na takot mawala ang kanilang tinatamasang nakaw na kapangyarihan at kayamanan, karamihan sa mga Filipino ay ayaw palitan ang Constitution ngayon dahil magagamit yan ni Arroyo upang hindi umalis sa Malacañang.

Kaya ang sigaw ngayon ay “Ayaw ko ng Cha-Cha, lalo na si Gloria.”

Sangayon ako diyan. Ngunit ang tanong: kung mapigilan ang cha-cha, ano ang susunod?
