Did the rule of law really prevail?

No more hope in the congress so our next venue is the Supreme Court.
This is the deciding factor who is right between the “pro” and anti-impeachment congressmen. I just hope they are on Berna’s side considering the congress quote him all the time.

ang tanong, ilan ang appointees ni gma sa sc?

nakagigimbal ang aking narinig kay sec. butch abad na gloria wants pagcor chairman guenio to stay and take care of media and the bishops. nadugtong ko tuloy kasi
may bisita akong bishop 3 weeks ago at sinabi na apat silang bishops nagpunta sa malacanang after the CBCP statement.

gloria mag enjoy ka muna nang ilang buwan…

wala na tapos na ang zarzuela sa kongreso……

so paano ba? magkita na lang tayo sa rally……

MABUHAY ANG MGA BATANG CONGRESSMAN NA MAY SARILING PANININDIGAN AT HINDI NASISILAW SA PERA. SA MGA MATATANDANG TONGRESSMAN AY HANGGANG NGAYON AY WALA PA RIN KAYONG NAGAWANG KABUTIHIN SA BAYAN AT DAPAT SA INYO AY MAG PAHINGA NA SINA “DATUNG, TENGA,PETSAY ETC.. DAPAT SA INYO AY MAKULONG. ANG DAPAT ITAWAG SA INYO AY “GROUP M”. MAGNANAKAW,MAMBOBOLA,MANDURAGAS,MANLOLOKO,MALASWA,MUKHANG PERA, ETC. LAYAS AT MGA PESTE KAYO SA CONGRESS.

No need to change the form of government, reform in the Congress is what we need. Gloria for now is as good as the Government coffers, if she you can’t sustain in buying the Trapos… she’s done. Congressmen are businessmen, they’re there for the PORK and not for you and me. The stinking Generals and the Trapos of Congress would leave Gloria only if the Treasury says “RP is Bankrupt”, a Don’t Cry for Me Argentina scenario. Please watch ANGELO REYES KUNG SAAN PUPUNTA…

Let us hope the new breed of Congressmen would ENDURE the temptations of the PORKY NI GLORIA.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS STILL SOMETHING GOOD LEFT IN SOME OF OUR CONGRESSMEN. NAGKIKIRAMDAM LANG YAN’ KUNG SINO SA MGA KATABI NYA ANG TALAGANG MUKHANG PERA.

Some are even “MAKIBAKA” during their college days. Nonoy Libanan for one used to be on the streets for the sake of “Academic Freedom”, and ” Karapatan”, and he did those against an S.V.D. owned University.

Si JDV lang yata yung talagang nasa “extreme” na. He lost her daughter which many perceived to be the “BAYAD” for his achievements. Yet, the incident didn’t change the “shape of the ears” of JDV. YAN ANG TRAPO….. MGA BATA WAG TULARAN..

it’s the opposition’s fault really. instead of holding those press conferences and rallies, they should have from the start worked on the impeachment complaint. if only they were the first to file a substantial complaint, things would be a lot different now.

MAY KASALANAN NGA NAMAN , D NILA NAANTICIPATE ANG KATALINUHAN NI GMA D BA? MAKUNAT SI GMA.

What happened yesterday is the best argument againts a unicamiral government.

let us all take the street solution. We may have to pay with out lives but let us see if the president will order the oilice, the military and her cronies to actually murder Pilipinos to stay in power. I, for one, is willing to give my life if it will change the lives of millions of the citizenry.

Ang sistema ay hindi problema. Marami ang nagsasabi na nilamon sila ng sistema kaya nagkaganyan. Ang totoo ang sistema ay katulad ng isang baril na maaaring pumatay ng isang criminal o magligtas ng buhay ng isang nasa panganib. Ang responsibilidad ay nasa taong gumagamit ng baril – nasa kongresistang gumagamit ng sistema.

Hindi sila nilamon ng sistema – nalulong sila sa pera at sa marangyang buhay na ibibigay nito.

“even if gloria is pronounced not guilty in the senate. the anti-gloria still would not stop”

Impeachment did not happen just yesterday ma friend. And since this is a political persecution – it is more the duty of the accused to prove her innocence. Evidences and witnesses shows that she’s guilty and her ONLY reply is a verbal “not true…”

On top of that she trample on the impeachment process.

Arguing one’s point to prove a legal theory is challenging if not exciting.
But once one’s case is pre-judged by those who supposed to judge, then proving the same is frustrating if not equally revolting.

Argumentum ad hominem? Nah, just a plain and simple res ipsa loquitor.

Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Rodolfo Agbayani said he withdrew his endorsement after the House of Representatives Committee on Justice ruled that the original impeachment complaint filed by lawyer Oliver Lozano barred all other impeachment complaints.

“That as the Amended Complaint which I endorsed, has not been given due course, but in fact, ruled upon by the Committee on Justice to have been barred by the original Lozano complaint…I am now executing this sworn manifestation to clarify and state my stand that I should now be considered as having not endorsed any impeachment complaint including the Amended Complaint,” he said in his affidavit.

==================================

Yeah, right.

Mautak talaga tong si Gloria.

With trouble brewing….
Gloria’s move:

First Step – TRO’d the EVAT
Second step- Killed the Impeachment- WAGI!

then……the next day

Re-installed EVAT

GALING MO INTELLIGENT EVIL dis GLORIA!!

“foresight” is the name of the game…and malacañang has plenty of it. as apparent in their preemptive strikes, to name some:

– administration allies’ filing of protests/charges on various issues against the presidentiables FPJ (nationality), Roco (graft), Lacson (drugs), etc. (before the May 2004 elections)
– the “fielding-in” of EDDIE gil as a presidentiable (to preempt bro. EDDIE’s candidacy)
– operator’s manufacture of election summaries (ERs, SOVs or COCs) to favor GMA (before the congressional canvassing)
– congress “dawn” proclamation of GMA as winner in the 2004 election (before entertaining FPJ camp’s objections/protests)
– switching of election summaries (ERs, SOVs or COCs) safely kept in congress to really show GMA’s more-than-a-million lead in the 2004 election [before the PET (the Supreme Court) orders the reopening of the ballot boxes]

– bunye’s release of the “hello, garci” tapes (before sammy ong did)
– “softly-touching” or perhaps really blackmailing and/or bribing witnesses/“whistle-blowers” (before they cause extensive weakness to GMA’s stronghold to power)
– GMA’s request for cabinet members’ resignation (before the “hyatt 10” did their act)
– JDV and FVR’s rally behind GMA’s skirt (before cory & co. could topple the government by forcing GMA to resign)
– allowing Gil “yes, ma’am” Garci to escape (before he is brought to congress – even just to answer “no, your honors” to all allegations)
– unlawful raids/searches done by law-enforcement agents to private (but known anti-arroyo individuals) properties (to preempt other individuals from stimulating anti-arroyo sentiments or obtaining evidences unfavorable to the arroyo administration)

– GMA’s declaration of nonsense holidays (to preempt rallies/strikes and to preempt pro-impeachment congressmen to gather together the much-sought after 79 signatures)
– Marcoleta’s endorsement of the Lozano impeachment complaint (before a substantial complaint could be mounted by the opposition)
– administration allies’ “kill-the-impeachment” stance (before GMA will face UN officials, meeting them straight-faced and unblemished)
– national security advisory/warning of possible “terror” attacks (terrorizing in effect would-be protesters before they could amass)
– lawmen’s “disperse-while-few” attitude towards rallyists/strikers (before a full-blown People Power will develop)

i’m not saying foresight is better than hindsight…but considering GMA’s wins in the aforementioned “battles” we should certainly need a heightened vigilance to what GMA and her cohorts are staging. anticipation of GMA’s moves may mean a big difference in this war.

we should likewise encourage our truth-seeker leaders to continue our fight despite the odds. it’s an uphill climb towards the TRUTH…so steep but we shouldn’t let go…for if we do, even just slacken our grip, we will surely die. as the saying goes “when the going gets tough…”

ISA RIN AKONG KRISTIANO PERO HINDI AKO SANG-AYON SA SINASABI NG IBANG BISHOP NA DAANIN SA DASAL. SA PALAGAY BA NINYO MAKUKUHA NATIN SA DASAL ANG MGA KAHAYUPAN NG MGA ARROYO. KAILANGAN NA NATIN KUMILOS. TAMA ANG SABI SHOUT BOX SA KABILA NA KAILANGAN NA NGA NATIN KUMILOS AT KAILANGAN NA RIN NINA SUSAN ROCES AT CORY AQUINO NA PANGUNAHAN ANG RALLY. SILA NA ANG MGA NILOKO AT SINAKTAN KAYA KUNG UUMPISAHAN NILA AY MARAMING MAGIGISING NA TAO AT BAKA DOON PA NATIN MAPA ALIS SI MAGNANAKAW.
BIRO MO KATATAPOS LANG PATAYIN ANG IMPEACHMENT NGAYON ANG MGA PABUYA SA MGA PUMATAY AY ANG MGA KAMAG ANAK NILA AT ALALAY NA MAPUWESTO SA GOBYERNO. KAPATID NI MIRIAM “BUWAYA” DEFENSOR NA NAGING COMM. SA CHED. AT IBANG KAMAG ANAK NG IBANG TONGRESSMAN. PALAGAY BA NINYO MAKUKUHA NATIN SA DASAL LANG ITO. KAILANGAN NA NATIN KUMILOS AT SOBRANG PANGLILILANG NA ANG GINAGAWA NILA. SINO ANG PINAG TATAWANAN NILA NGAYON KUNDI TAYO. LALABAS NA DAW SI GARCI SABI NI BUNYE DAHIL PATAY NA ANG IMPEACHMENT.

THE MURDER OF THE IMPEACHMENT COMPLAINT
WILL HAUNT GMA OUT OF MALACAÑANG

In a show of force and complete contempt against the sentiments of the Filipino people the administration-controlled Committee on Justice thrashed the amended complaint filed by the minority legislators arguing that it was a separate complaint. Three hours later, they proceeded to junk the Lozano version virtually killing all the impeachment complaints. Thus, last night, the majority bloc in the House of Representatives buried the truth about the allegations of corruption and cheating against Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

We retched in utter disgust against this murderous act of suppressing the truth. How can they dismiss the fact that Mrs. Arroyo tried to influence the outcome of last year’s elections when she herself admitted that she called an election official? We all know that it was Garcillano whom she talked to over the phone. We all heard her saying the words “yung dagdag, yung dagdag.”

We are appalled by the brazen use of power by the Arroyo administration in perverting this democratic process enshrined in our Constitution. We certainly question the statement of Malacañang that it did not to try influence the outcome of the hearing when Presidential Adviser Gabriel Claudio was seen inside the halls of Congress huddling with Speaker Jose De Venecia and Majority Floor Leader Prospero Nograles yesterday afternoon. Other Palace lieutenants were also sighted in Congress such PCGG Chair Camilo Sabio. The Palace obviously used all its powers to subvert the truth.

We condemn the pro-administration’s railroading of the impeachment process. It was an overkill. Clearly, the rule of law, a phrase they regularly invoke, was not observed in the last two days when they tried to muzzle the truth that their patron, Mrs. Arroyo, was elected into office under very dubious circumstances.

We call on the minority legislators to remain courageous and steadfast against pressures from an illegal and immoral regime. We also appeal to other decent and principled lawmakers to sign the amended impeachment complaint so that it can be automatically transmitted to the Senate.

We also urge the Filipino people to continue to hold on to their dreams of a better and honest government by being vigilant. Let us all go to the House of Representatives on Monday, September 05, and show this administration that we are aghast by the slaying of truth. Yes, the impeachment process might be dead at this stage but we believe that the dead always has a way of haunting us back. And it will haunt Mrs. Arroyo out of the Palace soon.

indeed. we really must evolve into being “concerned citizenry”

******************************************************************
I absolutely agree with you. Kung naiinis ako kay GMA mas naiinis ako sa mga opposition. Ayan ang napala nila kc naman too much grandstanding eh. Too much media exposure ayan tuloy talo ang impeachment. Daldal kc ng daldal at reklamo ng reklamo sa media. Naghahanap ng mapagbibintangan sa kapalpakan nila. I don’t understand bakit naunahan pa sila ni Atty. Lozano sa pagfile ng impeachment. Nasa kanila na yung tape before di ba. Akala kc ng opposition madadaan lagi sa rally-rally eh. Ayan sa kabagalan nilang kumilos nagulangan sila ng administrasyon. Tapos ngayon sinisisi yung administrasyon… Hmmm. kainis. Mali talaga ang tactika ng oposisyon. Ngayon naman inuugnay si PGMA sa kidnapping, baka makuryente na naman kayo jan. Baka pag wala na kayong makitang ikaso kay PGMA pati yung pagkamatay ni Rizal o Ninoy sabihin ninyo kasabwat din siya.
Daldal kc ng daldal eh, daig ng taong maagap ang taong masipag ok. Tama na muna yung press release, malayo pa ang eleksyon, puro grandstanding ang ginagawa ninyo eh. Try other tactics kc wala ng mangyayari sa strategy ninyo. Matatalino pa naman kayo kaso magugulang ang nasa administrasyon kaya tuloy di kayo makaporma. Change tactics ok. Hindi ninyo makukuha yan sa pagmamakaawa sa mga maka-administrasyon na congressman, pinagtatawanan lang kayo nila. Hindi ko alam kung paano mapapatalsik talaga si PGMA masyado siyang maagap sa mga sitwasyon. Goodluck nalang sa opposition, pls. tama na yung grandstanding, walkout and too much media exposure and press release, do your job…..

Mga KABABAYAN,

Huwag po nating ipanalaangin na mamatay nitong si GMA at kanyang mga alepores na TONGgresman agad, anu sila sinuswerte?

dapat ay maranasan muna nila ang paghihirap hanggang mamayay kagaya ng kanilang ginagawa sa ating mga pilipino na unti-unti tayong pinahihiorapan, dapat sa kanila ay magkasakit at uurin at kainin ang kanilang mga laman hangang silay pandirihan, mamatay ng nagiisa at walang gustong lumapit o humipo sa kanila, hanmggfang sila na mismo ang humiling na silay mamatay na! yun ang dapat sa kanila,

may magagawa naman kaya itong sa davide? e nagipon na rin ito ng pera para sa pagreretiro nya! nagpatayo ng resthouse sa johnhay sa baguio, nagpwesto ng mga kamaganak sa SC,

Erratum: Bill Maher not Bill Moyers nga pala.

[…] The former Marcos lawyer’s complaint proved to be a weak one, which the opposition tried to remedy by filing an amended impeachment complaint. But Arroyo’s allies in the House would eventually vote on a technicality to bar the amended complaint — which only managed to get 59 signatures, short of the 79 (or one-third vote) required to immediately send it to the Senate for trial — and another one filed by lawyer Rizaldo Lopez, in consideration of a rule that only one impeachment case could be considered in a year.
