Endorsement ni GMA kay Carpio-Morales

Published by Ellen on June 11, 2011

Update: Mike Arroyo opposes nomination of Atty. Ernesto Francisco as Ombudsman

Carpio-Morales
Sang-ayon ako sa sinabi ni Atty. Harry Roque na dahil sa oposisyun ni Gloria Arroyo, ang kinatawan ngayon ng pangalawang distrito ng Pampanga, sa nominasyun ni Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales dapat lang siya na talaga ang gagawing Ombudsman.
Why is she afraid of Carpio-Morales as Ombudsman?

Sabi ni Roque, para kay Arroyo ang napatunayang independence na pinakita ni Justice Carpio-Morales sa mga desisyun sa Supreme Court kung saan nannindigan siya kung saan ang akala niyang tama na palagi ay kabaliktaran nang siya ang naka-upo sa Malacañang.

Ang gusto ni Arroyo, sabi ni Roque, ay ang sunod-sunoran sa kanya katulad ni Merceditas Gutierrez.

Sabi ni Roque tinanggihan niya ang plano ng ibang grupo na i-nominate siya para Ombudsman dahil suportado niya si Carpio-Morales.

Halatang ninenerbyus na si Arroyo ngayon na wala na si Gutierrez sa Ombudsman.

The unnamed powerful man behind Maj.Gen. Carlos Garcia

Published by Ellen on February 10, 2011

The mysterious powerful man behind Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia is once again mentioned in the news following the outburst of retired Commodore Rex Robles after the suicide of former Armed Forces Chief Angelo Reyes.

Robles, who belongs to Philippine Military Class ’65 said his closeness to Reyes goes back to PMA days because he was the yearling, the academy lingo for mentor, of Reyes who was in Class ’66.

Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV yesterday said investigations into alleged diversion and conversion of the military budget might lead to Malacañang during the administration of former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo.
“Masyadong malaki yung perang involved na imposibleng nasa level lang ni late General (Angelo) Reyes…sa Malacañang lang nagre-release ng ganung level,” Trillanes said.

The following version of that controversy which has now involved Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV , PMA Class ’95, is the result of my interviews with Robles, Trillanes and talk with other sources even before the Ombudsman entered into a plea bargain agreement with Garcia, the subject of the congressional investigation which has led to more revelations of corruption in the military.

Beware of Cha-Cha as Arroyo’s Trojan horse

Cha-cha tune is being played again and we should be wary and alert.

Last Sunday, a friend working in the House of Representatives alerted us that Gloria Arroyo and her allies are ready with the charter-change operation and they are just waiting for the right time to start it. She said Arroyo has the “budget” for it.

Arroyo has already made the first step when she filed on her first day as Pampanga 2nd District representative last July 1 a set of bills including House Resolution 8 calling for charter change through a Constitutional Convention. It was co-authored by her son, Camarines Sur. Rep. Dato Arroyo.

Arroyo ‘disappears’ from new P200 bill

Published by Ellen on December 18, 2010

I like this. The past years, I have been refusing to accept the P200 bill as a form of protest because I consider Edsa Dos a farce that installed a fake president. Even if she did not completely disappear from the P200 bill, at least hindi na namamayagpag.

Philippine Daily Inquirer

Next time you get hold of a new, crisp P200 bill, don’t be surprised if you find it difficult to locate the picture of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It has been relegated to a small corner of the bill and the new dominant photo is that of the tarsier, a specially protected animal species found in a few places in the Philippines.

Due for circulation this month, the newly designed peso bank notes will showcase on the reverse side the country’s top tourism spots.

The picture of Arroyo’s inaugural ceremony in 2001—printed at the back of the existing P200 bill—will still appear on the bill, this time on the front side, although a bit too small for anyone to even decipher her face.

It is on the side dominated by the picture of her father, the late President Diosdado Macapagal.

Gloria Arroyo must be happy with De Lima

Continuing Gloria Arroyo's crusade vs Lacson
I applauded Justice Secretary Leila de Lima for the excellent job she did in the investigation of the Aug. 23 hostage-taking tragedy.

I admired her for standing her ground with the recommendations of the Incident Investigation Review Committee even as President Aquino did not adopt them to protect persons close to him.

But I am disturbed by De Lima’s eagerly executing the assignment Gloria Arroyo had given to the Department of Justice which was to make sure that Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson is put behind bars. It’s implementation was not carried out when Lacson went underground towards the end of her term.

What crime has Lacson committed against the Filipino people that he should be behind bars? None.

But Lacson has exposed various government anomalies involving Arroyo and her husband Mike . While in power, the Arroyos were able to stall investigation of the scams which were leading to them.

A jmilitary tribunal yesterday cleared seven military officers of the charge of mutiny filed against them in connection with the alleged plot to overthrow the Arroyo administration in February 2006 but sustained the charge against nine other accused.

Cleared were Col. Orlando de Leon, Lt. Col. Marine Achilles Segumalian, Lt. Col. Custodo Parcon, and 1Lt. Belinda Ferrer of the Marines, and Maj. Leomar Jose Doctolero, Capt. William Victorino Upano, and 1Lt. Homer Estolas of the Army.

The seven, in a second motion for reconsideration for a finding of not guilty, said they did not violate Article of War 67 or mutiny.

The court presided by Maj. Gen. Josue Gaverza said it granted the motion “for being meritorious.”

It denied the motion of the nine others for “lack of merit.”

Ang tapang ng apog

Published by Ellen on August 10, 2010

Talagang magkaka-maganak sa tapang ng apog itong mga Arroyo at mga Ampatuan.

Kung sino pa ang malaking kasalanang sa taumbayan, sila pa ang malalakas ng loob magreklamo.

Noong Lunes nag-privilege speech ang anak ni Gloria Arroyo na si Camarines Rep. Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo at binatikos ang mga kongresista katulad ni Walden Bello ng Akbayan,. Teddy Casino ng Bayan at Rep. JV Ejercito ng San Juan na nagbitaw ng mga maa-anghang na salita laban sa kanyang ina.

Nananahimik daw ang kanyang ina mula ng bumaba sa Malacañang para daw libre na magmamahala si Aquino ng bayan. Masamang ehemplo daw ang ginawa ng mga anti-Arroyo na mga kongresista na binabatikos ang kanyang ina na marami daw ginawang mabuti sa bayan.

Hindi tinatantanan si Arroyo

Published by Ellen on August 3, 2010

Sa unang araw ni Gloria Arroyo bilang kongresista, hindi pa raw uminit ang kanyang upuan, umalis na.

Paano kasi, itong si Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello ay nag-privilege speech na ang titutlo ay “Corruption was the signature of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.” Ang pirma ni Arroyo ay korapsyun.

Sabi ni Bello,”If the subordinates of the GMA administration behaved like pigs, kung ang mga galamay ng nakaraang administrasyon ay kumilos parang buwaya, ito ay dahil meron silang magandang halimbawa sa pangungurakot sa taas.”
