The president’s gravy train

sana magising na ang taong bayan,matuto na sana tayo na wag na mag
papaluko sa mga pulitico.
If only we open our eyes the way politician`s work
when they run for a position in the goverment,this politicians doesnt have anything,but when they become councilor,mayor or congressman they then have everything,house,car`s cash and even kerida`s.
one example is mike defensor,
nag commute lang siya,ngayon lahat na yata ng kotse meron siya

hay naku, galit na talaga ako sa kay Guya(GMA). walang delikadesa, garapal na ang corruption.

What else do we, the people, need to prove that she is corrupt , a thief and a liar. We need to do whatever it takes to get rid of her before there is nothing left for our future. RISE!

As Filipinos and taxpayer we can do our share in minimizing the corrupt practices of our government officials. One thing we can do right now is to be more vigilant especially with our local officials. If we can see that they are using government vehicles for their personal benefit, for example, promptly report this to the local media. We should use local media as our sumbungan ng bayan para naman mahiya ang mga corrupt officials natin !

NO POLITICS DAW SA AFP????????? INUPO SI ADAN KESA KAY BAGASIN NA APPROVED NG BOARD OF GENERALS. MASAHOL TALAGA SI PANDAK NA MAGNANAKAW. WALA NG KAHIHIYAN TALAGAN. PINA UWI PA NI GENERAL BAGASIN ANG ASAWA AT MAGULANG NA NASA U.S. DAHIL AKALA NIYA SIYA ANG UUPO OR PAPALIT SA BAKANGTENG POSISYON. APPOINTMENT NA NG BOARD OF GENERALS AY BINALE WALA NI PANDAK AT HINDI ITO ANG UNA. KAY ESPERON NANYARI RIN. LAHAT NG TUMULONG SA KAY PANDAK NOON AY NGAYON NA NILA MAKAKAMIT ANG GANTIPALA. NAWAWALAN NA RIN AKO NG TIWALA SA AFP. NASAAN NA ANG MGA MATITINONG HENERAL, KAILANGAN NA NINYONG KUMILOS.

…..Hail to the thief!!!

Hindi lang naman mga mahihirap ang ginagamit ng mga politiko (street rallies), even bussinessmen (during election) ay nagpapagamit din. Last presidential election, there were Mr. Roco who is undoubtedly a great man for the Pilipino people, & Mr. Villanueva who is a God fearing man. We were given a chance for a change & revival of our economy by these two individual but many of us voted for GMA & Poe. We reap what we saw and that’s where we are now.

Let’s be patient. I know the day will come…GMA’s Demise.

Keep it burning!

hail to the thief!!!! exact word to describe the one running the country.

part of the blame should go to those who voted for gloria, when will we ever learn? as the song goes…… tsk! you reap what you sow…. sorrow and suffering for the Filipino people, when will this end? maybe not in this lifetime. mike defensor, a friendly advise shut your mouth, para ka ng chismosa sa kanto, nakakahiya ka na!

There are no crooks if either one of BOTH refuses the bribe, the giver and the recipient. If the congressmen couldnt resist the funds given them then they are to blame. Zamora should know because he too was recipient during erap’s time. Weather, weather lang, as ERAP loved to say. For so long as we continue to vote IDIOTS in congress and for so long as the majority of people would vote candidates who have the money to give them during election day: transpo allowance, food allowance, and extra for other expenses, there will be 100 more GMA’s. PCIJ can print thousands upon thousands of exposes, insider plots, but the same will happen. In the end we will all look like IDIOTS amongst these policiticians.

If FPJ had won, does anybody HONESTLY think the crooks and polticians behind him will not resort to the same looting of govt coffers? Honestly? Look at the whose and who in congress and you’d realize these are the same people- the sons, daugters and relatives of those who were in power during Marco’s time: Escudero, Cayetano, Zamora, De Venicia, etc. People will say FPJ would have the guts to stop them. Will he? hahahahahahahahahahahaaa…Were not only Stupid as a people but NAIVE as well. Tell that to the marines. We have to device a way to change our electoral system or the moneyed will continue to be in power. And THEY will be the factors behind the winners as they will be the source of financing, whether through legitimate means (business profits), illegal means (jueteng and drugs). It will be the same.

Bangus is perfectly right, just look at who’s lording over in that side of the fence, puro mga wala ring maitatago, you know their faces, their pasts. Take your pick from this bunch of…, and all too well, we’re in the same cycle.

I voted and campaigned for RAUL ROCO last election. Ka erning is wrong to say i am rooting for GMA. For me, it is only (was) Roco who would have been BEST for the country as he was NOT compromising. Unfortunately, the good die young so….

Without question, GMA will soon be ousted. The question i ask is: WHO WILL TAKE THE REIGNS OF GOVT? Luis Jalandoni? Joma Sison? Ka Erning would be happy.

off topic…

opposition and some truth-seekers in congress have been had…and so are we.

tonight, lozano was seen with marcoleta at a NBN talkshow (mr. f. abando as host). as usual, both of them are denying they knew each other from the start. however, lozano acted unnaturally as a defeated complainant (either he is a gentleman or really a bogus adversary). he even admired the brilliance of the majority congressmen (much the same way as he admires the opposition). now he’s again jumping the gun on the opposition by filing a haphazardly done petition for writ of certiorari to the supreme court. i’m sure this will muddle the issue more; jeopardizing the case. the truth-seekers will possibly run out of legal means for the impeachment. such a nuisance lawyer!

…just goes to show how a grand conspiracy (or how evil, for that matter) triumphs…FOR NOW…

Patong patong na ang evidences against the pekeng presidente. Mayroon pa rin ang tanong ano ang alternatibo pag wala na ang dwende. Bawat isa ay may kasagutan na kakaiba sa kapwa. Maganda nga nakikialam tayo.

Nabuo ang solidarity movement dahil sa pagkakasundo na kailangan pababain si GMA. Sa akin, ito ay patunay na ang boses ng masa ang kanilang pinakikinggan, hindi ang sarili.

To everyone who is fighting to know the truth, who aspires for better future of generations to come, let me share to all what Randy David has written:

“First, I believe there is nothing wrong with politicians having personal motives. But for these to have social validity, such interests have to be fused with the wider interests of the community. That is how leaders are found: they personify the aspirations of an entire nation or community. Second, cheating in elections must bother all of us who value democracy. Democracy is meaningless if we do nothing to make elections trustworthy. That is why it matters very much that we know whether Ms Arroyo and Commissioner Garcillano manipulated the 2004 elections. Third, it may indeed be true that many of our present politicians are morally bankrupt. But that should only prompt us to be selective of our future leaders, rather than forgiving of the corrupt ones we have.

Clearly, it is not just confusion we are battling here. We are also up against cynicism, fear, despair, and the pull of blind affinities. We might begin to overcome these if we could visualize the kind of nation we want to leave to our children. In my heart of hearts, I know that such a nation has to be one that is self-reliant and capable of governing itself, is run by leaders who inspire trust in their people, who in turn have a reason to be proud of their identity and heritage and fully embrace their responsibilities as citizens. If such a vision has any value at all, it should show us the way past Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.”

Good Riddance !!!!

Nakakasuka na talaga si pandak!!! Using her talino sa panloloko. Ang kapal ng mukha. Paghumaharap kaya sya sa salamin , ano kaya nakikita nya? Dapat pag-isipan ngayon kung sino ang kakaladkad sa kanya palabas ng Palasyo!!!. Duda ko kasi, she will chain herself sa lahat ng poste ng palasyo, wag lang maalis, or better yet sementohan lahat ng lagusan sa palasyo at hayaan na sya manatili sa loob, kasama si Bunye, Claudio, Defensor at Ermita. For people who say na walang alternative kay GMA, wow naman,anong utak meron kayo, ibig bang sabihin pagnamatay si Pandak titigil na ang mundo, my God!!! Huwag naman tayo magpaka estupido, the future will be alot better without GMA,,anybody can replace the liar, the thief, the cheater. Sana maliwanagan na tayong lahat at palayasin na ang illegal sa palasyo!!!!

I wonder what people still need to prove GMA’s corrupt and unforgivable politcal schemes. Please, kick her off the Palace. The Philippines is better off without her.

ONE PROBLEM OF THIS COUNTRY WHY INVESTORS DON’T COME IS BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION AND TOO MUCH RED TAPES…..SO NOW WHAT CAN WE SAY……….

dnyokoklala,

With all due respect, ano po bang love for couintry ang sinasabi niyo? Hindi niyo nga ho mahal ang sarili niyong wika! Kung nagtagalog na lang kayo eh di sana madali niyo kaming makumbinsi at di niyo pa sana sinalaula ang wikang inggles.

You quoted Ninoy whom I believe (as a former school writer and later professional journalist) always edited his work meticulously. Sinunod mo man lang sana ang standards ni Ninoy para walang “corruptions”, “wort”, “accepting once (?)defeat”, “dispise”, “wether”.

Ask for whom the bell tolls… it tolls for thee.

opti

bangus,

You took a pro-GMA stance in the early entries you made. In the end, when you had a lot of beating from the opposition bloggers, you were singing a different tune of who will head the next government. McCarthyist pa ang iyong position. By the way, hindi mo pa nahahalata na inspite of the almost 40 years of CPP existence, the communist ideology has not supplanted our basic human and Christian, if you please, beliefs. God still reigns no matter what. Kaya huwag ka na matakot kina Jalandoni at Satur Ocampo or Crispin Beltran. Tulad mo, pinanganak din sila na may puso, isip at damdamin at isa pa, mga mortals din yan. NO threat.

So, back to GMA’s ouster! Basic issue kasi yan. The replacement can come later. First things first!

Sana na po sa ikabubuti ng Bayan natin….

Pinoy nga naman talaga. The pathetic helplessness of the public to address these injustices that the politicians you elect to office exhibit with impunity is manifest in the childish ways you express your frustration.

If only we all had done a little bit of homework before we went to the ballot box and used our heads instead of our dancing feet and open palms (to receive dole-outs) during the elections, then maybe — JUST MAYBE — we would have had true REPRESENTATIVES representing us in Congress to GET THE JOB DONE properly.

What are we left with instead?

Representatives that reflect the people who voted them into office.

ha ha! 😀

Let me leave you today with a bit of insight taken from this article:
http://www.getrealphilippines.com/agr-disagr/18-6-majority.html

And I quote:
====================
Indeed, this penchant for Fiesta Revolution is but one in a multilayered cake of irony that is the Philippines (a cake, that routinely goes to waste):

(1) A people who pinned their hopes on the democratic process of impeachment (a process than can have many outcomes), yet bizarrely expected only one acceptable outcome.

(2) A people who elected their representatives to Congress by popular vote and then deny that these officers of the Legislature represent the will of the Majority.

(3) A people who are now ready to once again infest Manila’s streets and are looking to the “revolutionary” leadership of the mother of the current Constitution that frames the democracy that they presume to defend.

(4) A people who fail to see that a chronic disillusionment with due process constitutes the seeds of anarchy. A state they, on the other hand, find distasteful when used in other contexts (such as the communist revolutionary context). The anarchy in the very street protests that are a response to a legitimate outcome of a democratic process such as impeachment is now and once again being used to uphold the anti-anarchy that is supposedly our Republic.
====================

Read it and weep! 😀

News and exposes like these are not reported in TV, radio nor popular newspapers. How can truths like these reach a larger number of people?…

i, personally, have sent links to PCIJ news to family, relatives, friends, colleagues and former classmates… bahala na… regardless of their affiliations… and ask them to forward to more and more people…

maybe you guys can do the same.

which “truth” other people would choose to believe is their responsibility. at least i did my part.

Why are we always reduced to just “voting for the lesser evil”. Isn’t that just as pathetic as voting for a greater evil? Makes me wonder how a nation of 80 million cannot even produce one good president, a couple dozen good senators and a few hundred good congressmen.

And besides, voting an official into office represents only a minuscule portion of one’s civic responsibility in the whole democratic framework. There is that less-understood responsibility to ROUTINELY hold leaders to account and build robust institutions to support this endeavour.

Look at the kind of discussion we have here — all after-the-fact posturing. We spend 80% of the time allowing our house to be infested by vermin and then at the 11th hour (when said vermin are feeding on our grain) start running around like bozos trying to pound them to death.

ha ha! 😀

The moral of the story: Democracy is not about “freedom” (ironic, considering that all we got out of the 1986 Edsa “revolution” is a FREE PRESS which has a pathetic track record of contibuting to building a strong nation and not much else).

Check out my detailed take on this colossal misnomer about “democracy” that Pinoys have hollow-headedly latched on to here:
http://www.geocities.com/benign0/4-00_Leaders/freedom.html

Excerpt:
==================
Elections are not the whole point of a democracy. Elections are expensive and a necessary evil of a democracy. The fact that our elections are, for the most part, a mockery of the concept of democracy, ironically, is therefore no laughing matter. We invest a huge amount of public funds on elections not to mention the cost associated with discontinuities in governance and policy focus, disruptions in the peace, and reduced labour productivity during the uncertain environment whenever elections are in the air among others. These elections are a national security risk as well. Imagine an imminent military threat suddenly emerging in the middle of a Philippine-style election!

In short, the costs of the practice of democracy must be justified! And for this to be done, one must first understand the true place of the freedom (of which elections are just one form of expression) we enjoy under democracy.
==================

Read it and weep! 😀

CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP talaga.

sobrang garapalan na talaga to…look at what greed for money and power can do..but i am more amazed at us filipinos….look at how we can tolerate all these corruption and injustice done to us. Why inspite of the damning evidences glaring at our faces, we still remain silent and a bystander.

maawa kayo kay bengnO… he doesn’t just provide links to his site, pahaba na rin ng pahaba yung mga “excerpts” na pino-post nya, mabasa nyo lang…

susunod nyan, lahat ng laman ng site nya, nakapost na dito…

banignO nga naman. ha ha!

I think we need to find an island in the Philippines as far as possible to civilization, rent a boat put all the TRAPOS like GMA, JDV, AND RAMOS AND OTHERS.

IN THAT ISLAND THEY CAN CHEAT ALL THEY WANT, THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR CONSTITUTION EVERYDAY. THEN WHEN ITS TIME FOR HIGH TIDE, WILL DROWN!! Then we will all be happy!!

H’wag ninyo ng pansinin at sagutin ang mga postings ni benign0. Wala namang ginawang maganda ang taong iyan except manlait, mang-asar at insultuhin tayong mga pilipino. Kong makita ninyo ang kanyang pangalan, just skip it na lang.

hindi ba ino audit ang president’s social fund? let’s wait for COA to come out with a report on this.

kahit i audit pa ng COA, wala ring mangyayari. Saklaw ng mga galamay ni GLORIA yan.

KAPAL ni GLORIA! ni na nahiya sa ibang bansa, umaatend pa sa UN meeting, ano kaya gawin nya doon? I sure mangsisinungaling din. Yon naman talaga gawain nya.

benignO..

e wala naman kasing bago sa mga pinagsasabi mo e.

mahaba lang.

ha ha!

BANGUS maraming namang PWEDE IPALIT KAY GMA! Pwede nga IKAW. Ako number 1 supporter mo. Maraming pwedeng ipalit kat GMA. Kung ganyang ang pag-iisip mo mas mabuti pang ibenta nalang ang Pilipinas sa U.S para wala ng gulo. Pero i’m sure di papayag ang mga pulitiko.

I’l gather a campaign signature for “BANGUS for President”… Ok ba sa yo?

i agree with bangus. who is really the best one to replace GMA?

as for the article itself, i take it with a grain of salt. it’s easier to complain about anything the people in our government do, every transaction, every project. but looking at the bright side, i see it as a good thing that funds are being allocated for edcucation. post dated checks are not really new in the government, contrary to what one source in the article has said. and i believe that issuance of post-dated checks are better, for better supervision of the allocation and use of the funds. let us just be vigilant and see where these funds go, making sure that they do go to the beneficiaries they were intended for: the students and the educational system, instead of always questioning the intentions. intentions of any politician are always questionable anyway.

gandang umaga mga mahal kong kababayan!!

There is something to be said of people who insult and denigrate other people’s thoughts and see theirs as superior beyond doubt. We call them egomaniacs. There is more to be said of them who do not care a thing about the sentiments of their host who probably share the sentiments of those they routinely insult. We call them bastos.

bruise_tawilis is right. the allocation of funds was for education, a good cause. the president’s social fund is really intended to be given to worthy causes. besides, scholarships is part of the president’s 10-pt agenda.

the bottomline here is that it is perfectly legal, overboard and beyond scrutiny. its just given malicious insinuations by the pcij article.

release ng fund for “scholarship” sa middle ng school year? ahhh mag start na SY sa US kasi kaya na release… may sense diba?

primo,

your right about these obnoxious bloggers, kaya nga nya pinoposts dito kasi para may maka-alam na may article pala siya…tsaka kaya sa Internet niya pinoposts kasi kahit sa ABANTE o BULGAR hindi ma-publish…

yah primo! these bureaucrats and honorables kuno have already perfected the art of juggling…..with gma as numero uno juggler. primus inter pares. wala nang katapat, primo. i wonder anong iskuwelahan itong sina bruise, camille, bangus, and their kind. ok lang sa kanila ang MAGNAKAW basta according to rules. twisted.

mindanao, puedeng paramihin ang sinulat mo, truly a lexicon of the times. thank you. natuwa’t natuto ako. we need to laugh and at the same time spread these awful shenanigans. nakakaburat na ang malacanang, di, ba?

bangus, bangus…you’re a pathetic speck. you are afraid to move on, thus, you shamelessly cling to your beloved president. yun naman ang ibig sabihin ng iyong blogs. other than gma, all the rest are idiots. the people who wants the president out are idiots. your undercurrent is that gma is indispensable, siya pa rin ang the best. magtiis na tayo dahil baka maagaw ng kaliwa, kanan at kung anong multo. subliminal. you sound so much like malacanang which has been bombarding us with the line – gma is the best option; enough of the “fiesta revolution”; sawa na ang tao, people power fatigue daw; a third edsa would be idiocy; the other Philippines wants to move on yet the other blocks it, and so forth and so on … pero ang hindi nila ina-admit…

it’s gma, stupid!

who will take over the govt? the people will eventually decide that. fear not, bangus, the people will make history. there is life after gma. transition is a process. so is revolution. hanggang sa kaduluduluhan ng daigdig, magunaw man ang mundong ito, hindi mawawala yan. that’s a very basic law.

Alecks,

thank you for the reminder. more power to this site!

After GMA what do we have?

===================
Ni hindi mo sinama si vice sa listahan mo. Paulit ulit naman, hindi naman talaga kung sino ang papalit ang problema, meron naman tayong constitutional successor in the person of De Castro. Kung hindi naman nangyari ang lahat ng ito and lets say namatay si Gloria, si Noli lang naman talaga ang dapat pumalit di ba, at yan ang isa sa mga primary roles ng bise presidente. Ang problema eh ayaw lang talagang bumababa sa pwesto ni Arroyo. At ang tanong na kung sinong ipapalit, ang pinipilit nyang isaksak sa ulo ng mga tao. Napakayabang talaga ni Gloria, ang tingin nya sa sarili nya kasi sya lang ang may kakayanang mamuno sa bansang ito.

**********************************************************************

enlightened_pinay, nanonood ka ba ng balita? sabi na nga ng mga lider ng anti-PGMA eh hindi nila tatanggapin si Vice Noli bilang kapalit ni PGMA eh. Yan ang problema. Kung sa yo ok si Vice Noli dahil siya ang constitutional successor eh paano sa mga lider ng mga anit-GMA movement. Kaya mo ba silang pakiusapan na tanggapin na Vice Noli? Dito lang tayo nagkakagulo eh, kung sino ang ipapalit… Magkakaroon ba tayo ng boses sa pagpili ng papalit kay PGMA kung sakali mapatalsik siya? Ang masusunod sigurado yung kung sinong gustong ipalit ng mga lider ng anti-PGMA at hindi ang taong bayan…itaga mo sa bato yan…

kavenishi,

Let us cross the bridge when we get there. The first and foremost problem is to get rid of GMA.

I know that some anti-GMA people are positioning themselves to takeover after she is removed. However, many of them are thinking of a caretaker (transitional) government that will be headed by an assembly which will ensure that the all sectors of our society will be properly and adequately represented. The only duties of the transitional government will be to weed out the deeply-rooted problems of this government and this society and to ensure that its control is returned to the people.

As to who will lead after this transitional government steps down is anybody’s guess. It is not a problem for me because any FIlipino with a deep love for his country, honest and true to his people can lead us. He can be of average intellect as long as he knows what is right and wrong for the Filipinos.

Pre, i agree with you, but the problem is we are not the leader of the anti-PGMA movement. Will they agree with us to make a transitional gov’t.? I hope they will agree with us.. i will crossed my finger on this issue.
I also want to put on my mind that we should cross the bridge when we get there… because we want really to removed PGMA first… But man, this is our future, hindi ko talaga pwedeng sabihin bahala na kung sino ang pumalit basta matanggal muna si PGMA. I’m looking for a long lasting solution not bahala na solution because it will just be a cycle again. Anyway, hope for the best… I hope we will unite if ever PGMA will be removed from office and we will respect the person who will replace her kahit ayaw man natin sa kanya.

may naniniwala pa sa SGV?? (j/k!)

pag gusto, may paraan. pag ayaw, may dahilan.

in fairness naman sa COA, hindi lahat e windang-windang…

COA reports, just like any practicing private auditor’s, are just “opinions”. Yung “user” ng reports ang bahala sa buhay nya if he wants to believe or rely on the auditor’s opinion. May power ba ang COA na mag-file ng charges with regards to its findings? Parang wala.

They just let their findings go out in public as far as the Meralco charging is concerned… so may mga investigations… nakarating pa sa Supreme Court… and the rest, you know the story. PERO HINDI LAHAT NG FINDINGS NILA AY NAILALABAS.

Kung feel mo e hindi talaga valid yung findings ng kahit sinong auditor mo, nasa iyo naman yun kung adjust mo according to their findings. Pwede mo ring ipaglaban sa korte kung talagang “MALI” ang findings nila….
———————————————————–
at any rate, kung gusto , may paraan… kung ayaw, may dahilan.

Kung sa COA e hindi acceptable.. pwede kang lumaban, hanggang Korte Suprema pa…

ang tanong: naniniwala ka ba sa Supreme Court?

Can we pls. respect others opinion and avoid judging them, just write your own opinion and if you don’t agree with others so be it…

kav,

I understand your concern for our future and the problem of who will replace GMA is another obstacle that we must hurdle, IF she is removed. That is a big IF, so i believe that we should consecrate our utmost endeavors to her removal first. After that, we can see a clearer picture for her successor.

Also i believe that majority of the leaders of the Anti-GMA movement are open to any suggestions that may come from the people. Because they owe their eventual success to the people.

It’s too bad indeed that good intentions, instead of being appreciated, are made the subject of pillory.

(echoing Integracompr….)

privatization?… hinay-hinay lang sa paggamit ng konsepto, ms. assumptionista… so far, wala pang magandang epekto sa ekonomiya natin yang flagship project na yan ni FVR. Mas nakasama pa nga.

Hindi lang naman mga mahihirap ang ginagamit ng mga politiko (street rallies), even bussinessmen (during election) ay nagpapagamit din. Last presidential election, there were Mr. Roco who is undoubtedly a great man for the Pilipino people, & Mr. Villanueva who is a God fearing man. We were given a chance for a change & revival of our economy by these two individual but many of us voted for GMA & Poe. We reap what we saw and that’s where we are now.

**********************************************************************
revival2006, I agree with your sentiments. We were given a chance for a change but we wasted it. We reap what we saw and that’s where we are now. Unfortunately my bet just passed away recently. And people are too busy with the impeachment issue then, little recognition was given to him.

to selene,

of course I believe them because i know most of them…I have seen the way they discuss every move their organization takes, they would always consult with their members. And that is how they will do it in case they come into power. Unlike Gloria, who was seated by the Makati businessmen, jueteng lords and civil society, these anti-GMA leaders will know that their loyalties lie with the masses…

Sometimes, they grant scholarships without funding; with the grantee spending for the tuition and/or other fees in advance to be reimbursed once the funds are available. Kaya it could be in the middle of the school year na available ang reimbursements. Of course public high school tuition fees are free, but what about the other fees? P350 is hardly enough. There are still out of pocket fees. Nothing is completely free. To us, this may seem like “vote buying”, “waste of pork money” but what about to the poor student-recipient? It’s probably the difference between going and not going to school.

kavenishi,

Sorry i am not referring to you or others, its just my answer to the comments of Benigno !

**********************************************************************

yeah, it doesn’t matter if it’s me or others. Anyway if benigno started it, then it’s ok, just answer his comments…we are entitled to our own opinion.

palakpakan naman natin ang DepEd at ang COA na assigned sa DepEd… well, at least for this issue.

palampasin man yan ng DepEd, kung hindi hunghang ang COA nila, sisingaw din yan…

i wonder how the other Departments are “expediting” the impeachment suhol funds?

(to Yvonne… thanks…)

deny to death si bunye regarding this issue. sino naman ang maniniwala sa kanila. eh kaliwanag ng report na ito ni miss yvonne chua. galing nyo talga pcij. ang dami talagang kalokohan nitong administrasyon ni arroyo na hinde natin nalalaman. talaga palang ubod ng sama itong si arroyo. katakot takot na plunder ang ginagawa nito. huh! sobra na talaga. kaya pala mga tongressmen na ito like diaz ay talaga naman busog na busog sa kurakot. maawa na kayo sa bayang pilipinas. wala ng pondo kaya puro post dated checks na. kaya yung mga binabayad nating taxes ay doon lang mapupunta sigarado yun. sayang pinagpaguran natin. kailan kaya itong pekeng pangulo lalayas sa malakanyang ng makahinga naman tayo ng maluwag luwag. grabe! Isigh)

The deped official Usec Luz where the info was sourced is the brother of Makati Business Club Bill Luz who is calling for GMA to resign. So this is a very biased source. He also has a very bad reputation among DepEd suppliers as he is reportedly “in the take” for grease money just to be able to release their payments. With those info coming from him, it is quite a polluted source which should have been verified by responsible journalists writing about these matters.

Maybe an investigative piece can be made on the release of hundreds of millions of DepEd funds for suppliers of which Luz is allegedly involved in extortion of around 10% of the actual funds to facilitate its release?

Responsible journalism presupposes that the journalist involved investigated whether her source is credible and not involved in anomalies themselves.

hahahah. nakakatawa na talaga ang mga fans ni IDOL. hahahahah.

ah syempre nga naman, kung kurakot ang boss, eh di kurakot din ang mga tao nya. ang saya saya no?

hahahah. korek ka dyan kapatid. “birds of the same feather, kurakots together.

kaya nga di ba, sa mga trials ho, ang sinasakdal ay lalong nasusupalpal kapag ang witness ay kasama niya sa ginawa nyang crimen di ba.

kc, “birds of the same feather, kurakots together.”

haiii. manay GLO! grabe na to.

hindi raw credible source si Jesus dahil nakasama daw nya si Judas sa ilang mga meeting at dinner……..tsk

naniniwala pa rin ako na darating din ang time na babagsak si gloria at kakarmahin sya, di naman natutulog ang diyos.. hinde magtatagal at kakarmahin din yan at ang buo nyang pamilya , hinde lahat ng oras ay pasko para sa mga arroyo tignan nyo nangyari kay de venecia at kay abalos di ba siningil sila at buhay ang kapalit sa mga kawalanghiyaan nila.ganun din ang mangyayari kay gloria at mas masahol pa ang mangyayari sa kanya at buo nyang pamilya

emer,

tama ka, ngunit and mga kababayan nating nagugutom ay hindi makapaghihintay dumating ang panahon na yan…kelangan tayo na rin ang umaksyon…nasa diyos ang awa nasa tao ang gawa ika nga…

Enough is enough. GMA should step down! Here in Riyadh I know only 2 Pampangans who want this bloody administration to keep hanging in the balance. I for one believe that GMA did not win in KSA. To hell with Garci and other GMA cohorts.

Puerte man ka gago mga tao dire. I ask one question: WHO SHOULD WE REPLACE GMA with? And you start to insult me, curse me. For the 10,000th time, i dont give a shit about GMA. As far as im concerned shes a non-entity and will soon fall. What concerns me is who will replace her? We HAVE to have an alternative to her now, not when she falls. Why cant we just agree to “disagree” and stop insulting each other. If we choose De Castro, it will be like saying GMA did NOT cheat because HE was with GMA and her team. Same with the senators. It has to be a clean slate. But who will lead? Its easy to say si Juan De La Cruz, but sinon’g Juan De La Cruz? It irritates me when people accuse me of being pro-GMA. I have said in the beginning that i voted and campaigned for RAUL ROCO and thought (up to this day) that he could have been the best President we could ever have. But thats my opinion, if the idiots here don’t agree with me, no problem. Ang gago, gago gid maskin ga tuwad pa.

bangus i agree with your sentiments here… Imbes nga sagutin yung tinatanong mo pauulanin ka nila ng insult. I don’t know why other bloggers are like that, if they don’t agree with your opinion they will accused you of so many things. I experience that also here bangus, hindi ka nagiisa.

Bro, pareho pala tayo ng binoto. I voted also for ROCO last 1998 & 2004 election. And upto now I believe also that we could have been the best president if we only give him a chance. Unfortunately he passed away already. But he will be our inspiration to change this country.

Nga pala…baka magkalimutan…babatiin ko lang si Press Secretary Ignacio Buni….hinahanap ka na ng Trosyd….yari ka!

sige cry foul over this….

-MANINDIGAN SA KATOTOHANAN

Haay Bangus, kaya ka nahihirapan dahil ang idea mo ng ideal president is, well, masyadong ideal.

You cannot find a perfect person siyempre. Whatever aspect of governance one candidate for president-after-Gloria has no expertise on, will have to provided by her staff and cabinet. That’s why we hire technocrats – to become secretaries undersecretaries, etc. And that’s where Gloria belongs, the bureaucracy, for she is a technocrat not a leader. Erap had some of the best minds in his cabinet, but he delegated everything and instead chose to devote more time playing mahjong with his gang of shady businessmen.

Your Raul Roco was no different. Suffice it to say that his record as a lawyer was not an immaculate one. I should know, my family owns the vast lands now owned by his client who at the time of litigation were prohibited by law to own land being foreigners. Alas, a check with the LRA put the name of the registered owner as “Raul Roco”. My great-grannies fought the court battle until the day they died.

Enough for personalities. The requirements for president is simple. Its there in the constitution. The 1986 framers had it so worded it that they clearly understood that genius simply does not make a president, knowing that from their fresh experience of Marcos. The requirements therefore are simple, that only a negligible part of the population would not qualify. That being the case, though, may I give you what to me are more important values that a true leader must possess.

True leaders must provide inspiration, not hopelessness. True leaders, unite people, not divide. True leaders listen then follow, not rule and ignore. True leaders fight FOR the people, not WITH the people. True leaders EARN the trust of the people, not BUY the trust of the people. True leaders do not cheat, steal or lie.

And yes, true leaders know when its time to quit.

Congressman who accepted development / social fund cum bribe from GMA are very short sighted and selfish. They reason out that the Funds from GMA are good for their congressional district / province but by doing so they are ignoring the fact that the country as a whole is slowly being buried by multitude of foreign debt.

In the end, the money that they received from GMA won’t amount to anything – but a simple bribe to a simple minded congressman. GMA is robbing the treasury just to buy the loyalty of her supporter where is GOOD in that. The country will have to pay its debt and meaning even those people in the provinces will be affected by it. So Mr. Congressman, ano ang Mabuti sa ginawa ninyong pagtanggap na Pera mula kay GMA.

kung ako tatanungin kung sinong pwedeng “alternatives” subukan natin ito:

1. nilagang bangus
2. tinurbong bangus
3. kinilaw na bangus (ok boneless para di matinik)

yan pa lang naisip kong “alternatives”. yung meron pang naiisip paki add nalang.

yvonne, base sa article mo re post-dated checks at ibang PCIJ expose…pwede na bang maging materials o ebidensya ito para sa anti-graft and corrupt practices ng government officials? Kahit marihap asahan na kikilos ang ombudsman, malaking bagay na mairehistro ang ganitong klase ng mga katiwalian. kahit nakakasawa na ang mga inquiry sa senate, sana matalakay ito. di naman kasi ganun kalawak ang naaabot ng pcij laluna dun sa mga taong ginagamit ng mga pulitiko. salamat sa makabuluhang report.

Ok, there is a suggestion for Noli de Castro as successor to GMA. Who else? What about Chief Justice Davide? Will he be good? Danding Cojuanco? If not for his age, he has good business sense. Perhaps we need one to run our country? But he will forever be tainted with Marcos. Mar Roxas? He may be too young. Your suggestions please. No problem on the idiots who continue to insult me. Ang gago, maskin ga tuwad gago gid. Translate that and you’d know what i mean.

we should all unite in ousting GMA. Di nyo ba napapansin patterned lahat ng goals nya at methods from Marcos. ang problema di hamak na mas concrete ang projects ni marcos such as lung center, kidney center, heart center etc. To those who hate Marcos so much, wag nating pabayaan na mabreak ni GMA ang record ni Marcos and later on maging anghel sya compared to GMA. gARAPAL na masyado si GMA.

bangus,

Ganoon na ba kasama ang bansa natin na wala na tayong makukuhang matino to lead us. We are a country of at least 80 million people and from them we cannot choose a single honest man or woman or group that has the strength of character, the will and love for country that will be needed in order to overhaul our society?

I don’t think so…hindi naman kelangan may pangalan siya para mamuno, diba? As long as he will be a model for all of us then we would be glad to follow him.

walang kailangan maging model because whether we like it or not, the Constitution says it is the Vice President who replaces the President in case of resignation, incapacity, or death of the latter.

Dimasalang,

Approve ako dyan, dapat private ang AUDITORS ng Gobyerno at dapat ibalik ang discretionary PRE-AUDIT of GOVT. FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS.

I’m sure there are many who are qualified, the only problem is we dont know who yet among the millions of pinoys.

Any suggestions?

I have one: JUSTICE HILARIO DAVIDE

Any others?

Just for the record bangus, my choice has always been Mar Roxas. He got the political name and most importantly the genius to run this country. No other politician understands the potentials of the brains economy than Mar.

bagsak din credibilty ni davide as per previous surveys.. i suggest snap election kung ma unseat president & vice president kaya lang malabong mangyari yun. pinatay na impeachment ng mga tongressmen. ayaw magresign ni arroyo kapit tuko nga eh. ok sana snap election. at least may mandate ng tao. importante na ligitimate at hinde fake ang presidente. pwede isabay sa 2007 election kaya lang malabo din comelec. baka may lumitaw na naman na hello garci. huh! saan na ba tayo pupunta? anyway ang issue dito ay nandaya ba? nagsinungaling at nagnakaw ba? iyan ang dapat panagutan ni arroyo. iyan ay sapat na para maalis sa poder ang pekeng presidente. palusot lang ng mga alipores ni arroyo kung sino ipapalit kay arroyo. hinde ito excuse or reason para makaligtas sa kasalanan nya.

sino bang nagsabi na dahil walang ipapalit kay PGMA eh wag na natin siyang patalsikin. what we want is kailangan muna tayong magkasundo dito sa issue na to para kung mapatalsik na natin siya eh maging smooth yung pagupo ng kung sino man pipiliin natin. wala pong nagsabi na hindi siya pwedeng paalisin dahil walang ipapalit. Ang gusto lang po namin linawin ay kung sinong ipapalit kung sakali ngang naalis siya, and that’s the point. Kasi if we are just asking for her ouster, then afterwards magaaway-away din tayo kung sino ang ipapalit, problema na naman yun. Hindi po pwede yung basta gusto ko patalsikin si PGMA pagkatapos nun bahala na, free for all na yung position ng presidente. Ok sana kung susundin ang constitutional successor kaso nga po ayaw pumayag ng mga lider ng mga anti-GMA movement. At eto ang magiging problema. Mahirap bang intindihin yan… At sigurado po bang masusunod ang gusto ng taong bayan kung sakaling matanggal si PGMA o yung gusto lang ng mga lider ng mga anti_PGMA na yan ang ipapalit.

Ako po si Konsensiya. Nabasa ko po lahat ng naisulat ninyo. Iba’t ibang opinyon ng iba’t ibang tao na may iba’t ibang interes, trabaho, kasarian at estado sa buhay. Sa tingin ko po, lahat kayo ay tama, wala pong mali. Magkakaiba lang po talaga ang mga pananaw. Sana po ay bigyan hangganan natin ang ano mang personal na pananaw sa mga taong iba ang opinyon sa atin.

Sa ganang akin po lamang, ang problema ng ating bansa ay nag-uugat sa ating mga sarili. Bakit di po natin tignan ang ating sarili sa salamin at itanong:

1. Nagbabayad ba ako ng tamang buwis?
2. Naglalagay ba ako o nagbibigay ng “tong” sa pulis o traffic enforcer kapag ako ay nahuling lumabag sa batas trapiko?
3. Naglalagay ba ako para mapabilis ang pagkuha ko ng dokumento sa isang ahensiya ng gobyerno?
3. Nagyayabang ba ako o pinagyayabang ko ba kapag may kamag-anak, kaibigan o kilala o kilala ng kakilala ako na nasa mataas na posisyon sa gobyerno?
4. Marunong ba akong pumila sa MRT o LRT? sa estasyon ng bus?
5. Nag-uuwi ba ako ng supplies (papel, lapis etc) mula sa aking trabaho?
6. Nagte-txt ba ako sa aking mga kamag-anak, kaibigan o kilala habang ako ay nagtratrabaho sa opisina?
7. Nag-iinternet ba ako habang ako ay nasa opisina?
8. Nakapulot na ba ako ng pitika na may pera sa kalye at hinanap ko ang may-ari?
9. Mahilig ba akong sumingit kahit di trapik?
10. Kinakanan ko ba ang sasakyan ko kahit galing ako sa kaliwa?
11. Binubusinahan ko ba ang sasakyan sa unahan ko pagpalit ng traffic signal sa “green”?
12. Binoto ko si ……kasi kaibigan siya ng pamilya ko?
13. Binoto ko si…….kasi sabi ng tatay o nanay ko?
14. Binoto ko si…….kasi sabi ng barangay leader namin?
15. Binoto ko si…….kasi may kuneksyon ako sa kanya?
16. Binoto ko si…….kasi may kapalit na pera?
17. Binoto ko si…….kasi sabi ng simbahan o ng sekta ko?
18. Di ko binoto si……kasi sabi ng tatay, nanay, kaibigan, barangay leader, simbahan, o sekta ko?
19. Naglalagay ako sa BIR para di na ako ma-audit?
20. Naglalagay ako sa Customs para mapabilis ang labas ng goods ko?
21. Naglalagay ako sa City Hall para maayos agad ang permits ko?
22. Naiinis ako pag nakikita ko ang mag Marcoses?
23. Naiinis ako pag nakikita ko si Kris Aquino?
24. Naiinis ako pag nakikita ko ang mga Estada?
25. Naiinis ako pag nakikita ko si FVR?
26. Naiinis ako pag nakikita ko si JdV?
27. Bakit mas mayayaman ngayon ang mga kapatid nating Tsinoy kesa sa atin?
28. Bakit mababang magpasahod at halos alipinin tayo ng mga kapatid nating mangangalakal na Tsinoy?
29. Bakit tayo puro kontraktual lamang?
30. Bakit mas gusto natin ang imported kahit peke?
31. Bakit gusto nating mag jeepney o bus kung gusto naman nating bumaba kahit saan parang sa taksi?
32. Bakit sa kanto tayo palagi naghihintay ng masasakyan?

Napakaraming pa pong tanong na di naitatanong. Napakaraming pa pong sagot na di tumutugon. Kung binasa mo po ito, sana po ay nakanti ang inyong mga puso at damdamin. Kapag natugunan na natin po ang mga katanungan, siguro alam na rin po natin ang ating patutunguhan.

bangus,

You are limiting your argument in the present setup of this government. That is why you cannot move from this problem.

We must remember that we are not only fighting to oust Gloria but also change the present system. If we only change the figurehead, even if he is a sincere man, the system will eventually produce another Gloria or somebody worse than her and then we return to where we started. Everything will have to change, the government, the people and the economy and economic policies that we have right now.

And are you sure about Davide?

kav,

We cannot name anybody right now. But what I have given you is a simple model of a man who is qualified to lead us. Let us wait for the dusts of this struggle to settle before we can see who will emerge as this man.

to everybody,

I would rather have somebody who is not part of this current system to lead us.

Absolutely yes man, but that is a big “IF”. anyway let’s just hope for the better, is not good to think negative at this time. Everyone of us here want a better philippines and sick and tired of too much politics.

If the system is the problem, then WHAT system do you think is best for us? Parliamentary? I dont even think it is the system. It relaly is US – filipinos. The problem goes beyond personalities, systems. It is a moral disintegration of our values. If you agree with this premise, then it will take a lifetime to make all the necessary changes for the good of our country. I sacrificed my future in the United States as an engineer in Silicon Valley to come home and help in anyway that i can, in my small town in the provinces, If i gave up on the Philippines, i could have been long, long ago. I would have been established already as an american citizen in the US. But i decided to return to help in anyway i could. The campaign for Roco opened my eyes on the reality that without MONEY, no upright, honest, educated person can win an election. People have just been used to getting money in return for their votes. They ASSUME during the day of election the following due them: Transporation allowance to go to the precincts, Food to feed them, and extra expenses so they can enjoy with their families. Sometimes it is so frustrating to see this scenario over and over again. And after the elections what happens? They curse, complain against the politician they voted to office- the mayor, congressman, governor. But when election time comes and the other party – the more qualified candidate runs BUT does not have the funds to give come election day, the same scenario happens. Its a vicious cycle. Its easy to say that ive been stuck on personalities. But its not even that. Until we get back the VALUES of yestyears, i dont think we can have qualified people governing us. We need nothing SHORT of a miracle mga pare ko.

nakaka asar talaga pag nakakabasa ako ng mga tanong na SINO NAMAN ANG IPAPALIT NATIN KAY GMA??? malaking insulto talaga. Ano ba naman ang gusto nyo’ng mangyari? NA KAHIT MAGNANAKAW, MANDARAYA, SINUNGALING AT WALANGHIYA SI GMA PAGTIYAGAAN NA LANG NATIN??? alam nyo mga tol, hindi kailangan ang mataas ang pinag aralan ng isang pangulo. Ang importante ay matuwid at may malasakit sa kapwa. Di ba may mga taxi driver nga na nag sosoli ng malaking halaga na naiiwan sa kanilang sasakyan dahil hindi nila kayang sikmurahin na ipakain sa pamilya ang galing sa pinaghirapan ng ibang tao.? Ngayon maitanong ko naman sa inyo, meron ba kayong nabalitaan na congressman o kahit sinong pulitiko na nagsoli ng sobrang pera sa kaban ng pamahalaan???? di ba wala…Lumalabas pa ngayon na kahit taxi driver lamang e di hamak na mas tao pa sila keysa mga may pinag aralan kuno….
MAUTAK TALAGA YANG SI PANDAK!!!! kaya post-dated check ang pinamudmod nyan ay para sigurado na hindi makakabaliktad ang mga tongressman na pumabor sa kanya…. sisiguruhin nya muna na mananalo sya. at ang tseke ay nakabitin lang para tumulo ang laway ng mga tanga..mantakin nyo hanggang january ng susunod na taon pa ang petsa ng huling tseke. Hindi nga naman makakabaliktad ang mga gago kasi hihintayin pa nila ang panahon na yun. At malamang pagdating ng araw na yun malamig na ang issue laban kay pandak.. Ganyan din naman ang ginawa nya nung election di ba., Lahat ng heneral na sangkot sa Hello Garci Tape ay ngayon na inaani ang ginawa nilang pag dorobo sa taong bayan.nung nakaraang election..
Kaya ang dasal ko na lang ay sana TAMAAN KAYONG LAHAT NG KIDLAT GAYA NG NANGYARI SA CAMP BAGONG DIWA ARMORY!!!! ..

kaya walang masyadong sumasali sa rally kc ang gusto ng mga tao yung pangmatagalan na solusyon sa problema. gusto nilang marinig at makita sa mga namumuno at leader ng mga anti-gma ay yung kung mapatalsik man si pandak ano ang mangyayari sa pilipinas. kulang kasi sa paliwanag ang mga movement na to eh. halos lahat tayo gusto siyang patalsikin, pero di natin maimagine kung anong plano natin pagkatapos. anong mangyayari pagkatapos, magaaway na naman ba ang mga lider na to sa pagaagawan sa pwesto. walang clear view eh, lahat tayo nanghuhula, walang malinaw na plano. hindi natin alam kung papayag ba ang mga opposition kay Vice Noli o sila ba ang uupo sa posisyon na mababakante. ang daming katanungan na dapat munang masagot bago kumilos ang taong bayan.

its not wether a people power type rally must win or loose.

after the impeachement, the pros and cons are battling it out on the success (or not) of any people power on the rise.

but you see the surveys, 79% wants impeachment.

and some would conclude otherwise, that a missing link exist between the survey and the impending people’s revolt.

surely the pinoys are tired and exhausted of being used again by politicians. because at any given moment we are open to such exploitation.

but to gain is to try. and to try is to voice out the our grievance and to make the government listen. pound their hearts with bricks and stone if necessary – if its needed.

it is the proper path but we are on a tiring journey. and we pray for a miracle. we pray for a leader. to lead us to the path of true awakening.

you see there are many capable one’s. but we fail them. we brand them. we ridicule them. we throw bricks and stones at them instead of throwing that to malacanan. we exploit ourselves than wait to be exploited.

we are seeing the political environment in a very tampered media. tampered by malacanan’s press releases. but the fact still is we got 79%. what you say about that?

that without malacanan’s media blitz and manipulation, the surveys could rise to 90%.

the difference with the enemy is that we are really divided and malacanan is so very much coherent with its plot and purpose – the plot to cheat, the plot to kill the impeachment, the plot to silence the media, the plot to counter evidences. with a sole purpose – to stay and power.

whereas we, the divided, tries to do much more in every direction. plus the fact that we criticize others who fail even to dent the malcanan machinery, instead of encouraging support.

in this forsaken times, how can an ordinary pinoy go to the streets where every sentimo counts? but that doesn’t mean that he is off to some good in keeping with the rally. but merely, he is able to make time for himself to find the needed pesos to buy a single luckyme pancit canton to feed a family of 5 to 7.

keeping off the streets doesn’t guarantee a food on the table either.

but keeping off the streets guarantees a smoother traffic, which aga muhlach will surely love.

so what is the long term solution?

the long term solution has a beginning… the removal of gloria arroyo.

we cannot begin any other way.

we can finish her term but at what expense? the destruction more and more of an already destroyed political morality. the personalization of the oath, “service to god and country.” instead becomes a service to herself.

the laudering of taxpayers money to bribe friends and foes through a seemingly legal channel – and as revealed by DepEd.

this will become a 9-year legacy of corruption and decadence.

bakit sinasabi na walang pwedeng ipalit kay arroyo. for heavens sake! naman! naman! kadaming qualified. better than arroyo. eh si arroyo na yata ang panaka worst president ever!. pwede ba huwag nyong idahilan na walang ipapalit kay arroyo kaya ayaw nyong alisin sa poder. mga palusot ng alipores ni gma. ang importante ay magkaroon muna ng closure yung problema na si arroyo mismo ang solution. maraming options kung sino at paano papalitan. at yan mapaguusapan after na maalis ang bogus na president. tanggalin muna bago palit ha? paano tatanggalin si arroyo eh patay na impeachment? succession, extra constitional mean or pakiusapan na magresign or mag evaporate na muna hehehe (joke lang) kung sino ang gusto ng tao ang syang masusunod. sa ngayon ang gusto ng tao as per nationwide sws survey 79% ay tangalin si arroyo.”mahirap bang intindihen yun?”

so ano na plano dong?

kung ayaw sumama ng church (can rally daw as long as its peaceful) or ayaw makisama ng militar (apolitical daw e)…

looks like gma is here to stay, with or without rally, to the costernation of majority (as per survey) most of which doesn’t want to go to the rally.

COA auditors will definitely make an audit to make more money. Meanwhile GMA keeps on compromising herself having to cover up the cover ups. She has to maintain and keep her stable of politicians happy until the next impeachment, and the politicians are taking advantage. Santa is here and Christmas started in September for them. kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PCIJ

POST GMA SCENARIO? RESIGN MUNA. OUTS ARROYO 1ST. SNAP ELECTION ISABAY SA 2007 ELECTION ANG PRESIDENT & VICE PRESIDENT PARA LESSER ANG GASTOS. SIGURO NAMAN MAGIGING LESSON NA SA MGA POLITIKO ANG NANGYARI KAY ARROYO. MAGTATANDA NA SILA. MAGDADALAWANG ISEP NG GUMAWA NG KAWALANGHIYAAN. AT LEAST SA ELECTION MAY MANDATE NA ANG PRESIDENTE.

SUBUKAN NATIN ANG MGA YOUNG IDEALISTIC GENERATIONS. NAKITA NA NATIN KUNG PAANO TAYO PINASAKAY NG MGA TRAPO AT MATATANDANG POLITIKO(HINDE NAMAN LAHAT). KAYA LANG TINGIN KO HINDE MAGRERESIGN ANG PRESIDENTE & BISE PRESIDENTE KAYA MALABO SNAP ELECTION. SANA MAY MANGYARING MABUTI PARA SA ATING LAHAT. GOD BLESS US ALL.

if you think that the survey saying 79% wants impeachment is correct and accurate, then you should also believe the 2004 SWS Exit Poll Survey: GMA 45%, FPJ 34%, Lacson 10%, Roco 6%, Villanueva 5% is correct and accurate.

surveys can be manipulated.

TSK TSK TSK!

Shoot the crooks in PUBLIC, like the Luneta. One, two crooks. Believe me, nobody will dare steal again in government.

Better still, behead them. Mas brutal the better. This is the ONLY way the corrupt in government will know.

If we had hanged all the Marcos children when the time Marcos flew into exile, we would have FORCED him to return ALL that he had stolen.

What did we do? Wala, the corrupt agencies in cahoots with him stole the money. And the marcoses ended up again in power. Imagine! NAKAKAHIYA! Hasnt anybody thought of that?

The saddest part, LISTEN TO THIS, mga pare ko, in a survey in one of the universities here, BONG-BONG MARCOS and IMEE MARCOS were VOTED among the PROMISING politicians for the 21st CENTURY! They were branched together with Mar Roxas. Isnt that sad? We talk of morality, righteousness, good governance, and here comes a survey of the youth that says BELIEVE na BELIEVE sila sa mga Marcoses!

IF these children of Marcos can get away and having their cake and the peoples sympathy (the younger generation) too, imagine what the others will become even if they are removed from office.

Choose the good ones to vote for? The system GUARANTEE’s by the time they finish office, they would have enriched themselves! Why? Because the temptation to steal is so great and walang corresponding punishment, so they steal! It becomes an incentive for others because the past officials also stole. And it becomes a vicious cycle.

Shoot or Behead one or two top government officials. Believe me that will be the BEGINNING for a solution.

alin bang exit poll yung survey ng dzrh? hinde naman nangyari na panalo si arroyo here in metro manila baka nakakalimutan nyo na. kayo ang nagmanipulate. ang exit poll ang inaccurate kasi talo si arroyo dito sa luzon. sa visayas alam naman natin kung ano nangyari sa hello garci tape. yung survey ngayon ng sws 79% ay feel na feel naman na ayaw na talaga kay arroyo ng tao. sa lagay ba naman ng estado ng pilipinas ngayon do you think na may gugusto pa kay arroyo? iba situation ni erap kay gloria. pati na rin si marcos mas malala si gloria ngayon. kasalanan ni erap at marcos ay ginawa din ni gloria. (iyun ay nasa lozano amended impeachment complaints na pinatay na ng congress.)

bangus yan din ang sinasabi ko dito, ang gusto ng tao kung anong mangyayari after napaalis si pgma. kaso ayaw maniwala eh, paulit-ulit nalang sinasabi yung mga obvious na ginagawang kamalian ni pgma. sinabi na ngang hindi bobo ang mga filipino eh, yung obvious alam na nila kaya hindi na dapat ulit-ulitin pa. alam na lahat ang ginagawang kalokohan ng gobyerno, open book na yan. ang importante kung anong mangyayari sa pilipinas assumming a post GMA scenario. kaso walang makapagpaliwanag ng mabuti sa mamamayan kung ano nga ba?

hinde bobo mga filipino. kaya alam nila na nagkasala si arroyo kaya dapat lang maimpeach. ito po ang issue. IMPEACH ARROYO na pinatay na nga ng congress. so kung walang alternatibo kalimutan na lang? move on? ganoon lang? tuloy ang ligaya ng mga alipores ni arroyo? pinipilit nyo post gma scenario, tanggalin muna . kung si noli di si noli. tutal sya naman ang successor. kung kay arroyo lang naman na talaga namang OBVIOUS na sobrang nagkasala di yung lesser evil na si bise presidente. okey ba mga pare ko? peace!

kavaneshi,

you are creating your own problem. sinabi na under constitution si noli ang pwedeng pumalit tapos piniproblema mo ung ibang opposition hindi accepted si noli. If after we install noli there will be oppositions, then let them oppose as long as the majority is behind noli and noli has a clear mandate of hte people, the disagreement of the opposition will not amount to anything.

I don’t eat BANGUS but certainly bangus here is matinik. We are all one in the desire and hope for a better country and governance but we must be united to be able to make a point and to be heard by the people concerned. As one suggest, we must form a group of people who do not have any political ambition or personal interest that can be credible enough to make our point. The main thing is to oust GMA. First thing first. There will surely be a leader among the more than 80 million Filipinos.Let’s organize! Count me in.

i dont know how…pero since nagkakatanungan kung sino ang magandang pumalit ke bansot…..yung mas bansot…JUAN FLAVIER!

Tagal na sa serbisyo ni Johnny F….me experience na…me katalinuhan (doktor)…me malasakit sa kapwa….wala akong masamang tinapay dito…yun nga lang siguro..ayaw ng simbahang katoliko ke Johnny F dahil pabor ito sa family planning…kaya na din siguro hindi maging kandidiato bilang VP man lang….

“Just take note that the role of the opposition in philippines politics nowadays is not being a fiscalizer, not being a check and balance party but mainly to bring down any administration. Oppose everything and doing nothing….”

kagaya ng nangyari kay marcos, erap at arroyo ngayon ha? iyan ang tinarawag na karma. yung ginawa mo ay babalik sayo. ano naman ang gusto mong gawin ng oposisyon bow na lang bow kahit illegal na ginagawa gaya ng mga pinagagawa ni arroyo? kaya nga oposisyon eh para mag oppose sa mga maling desisyon.

Isang kwento lang…..

Umakyat si Juan sa langit ng napansin nyang punong puno ng mga wall clock ang opisina ni San Pedro

Juan: San Pedro, para saan po yan?
San Pedro: Ah, yan ang tinatawag na truth clocks…Bawat isang tao meron nyan..Kapag hindi ka nag sisinungaling naka stuck yan sa 12:00

San Pedro: Tingnan mo tong ke St. Francis…nasa 12:00..kasi hindi sya nagsinungaling kahit minsan

San Pedro: Eto namang ke Jose Rizal..nasa alas dos…kasi dalawang beses lang syang nagsinungaling…

Juan: e nasan po yung wall clock ni Gloria Macapagal Arroyo?
San Pedro: Ah yung wall clock ni GMA?…pinasok namin sa opisina ni God…..GINAGAMIT NA ELECTRIC FAN!

so ano na plano dong?

******************************************************************
hindi naman sa ayaw makisama ng militar koj, nadala lang sila sa nangyari..yun kasing opisyal na inakusahan nila ng pagbebenta ng armas sa abu sayaf ay nanatili sa tungkulin. sa halip ang mga junior officer ang nakulong dahil hindi sila sinuportahan ng mamamayan..kung baga pinabayaan na nga sila pati mga kasama nila nag kanya kanya na ng lusot… kaya mapapansin natin na kahit pa nga militar ang mag take over hindi rin magtatagumpay kung walang suporta ng mamayan… ilang beses na napatunayan yan noong panahon ni cory. pitong beses na nagtangka ng kudeta pero walang nangyari..

sa panahon naman ni erap bumandera ang simbahan.. lumabas si cardinal sin at nagtatakbo ang kontobersiyal na paring si father reyes, At naiupo nga si pandak sa panghuhudas ng mismong kaibigan ni erap.

Ngayon, hindi lang takbo ang ginawa ni father reyes. nag fasting pa kamo ang grupo… ha ha ha kawawa naman ang pobre, mukhang mamamatay lang siya sa gutom… ganyan kakapal ang mukha ni bansot mga tol… pati nga simbahan ngayon hati sa issue.. iwas pusoy ang CBCP may mga umamin na tumanggap ng pondo mula sa sugal..(PGCOR) kaya hindi makapiyok.. may mga grupo naman na talagang lumalaban gaya nila Bishop Cruz…

Sa panig naman ng administrasyon ang karamihang naka pwesto ay ex military personnel… mga heneral na napakinabangan noong panahon ng election..at ang katapatan ay para sa unang pamilya lamang. ang mga naka pwesto ay handang ipagtanggol si bansot kahit magmukha silang kenkoy sa harap ng madla..

Sa mga kadahilanang yan kaya alanganin sumama sa rally ang mamamayan… walang isa man na malakas ang impluwensya para manguna sa rally. Lahat halos iwas pusoy…kaya ang nangyayari??? people na lang wala na yung power!!!!

Ikaw koj, may maganda ka bang suhestiyon ???

schumey

pwede na sana yan…kaya lang sa ngayon hindi credible ang justices na sinasabi mo. karamihan kasi sa kanila appointed ni tabako at ni pandak mismo. idagdag pa natin ang mga local officials na madalas mamasyal sa palasyo. tapos majority pa sa kongreso mga baluktot na ang utak. makikitang walang kalaban laban ang mga batang oposisyon sa kongreso kumpara sa mga matatandang sobra na ang gulang sa katarantaduhan.tapos ang speaker pa nila parang sawa sa galing gumapang. ha ha ha ha..Jedi nga talaga…

Ang matindi nariyan pa ang matandang bangkay sa DOJ na sobrang dalahira…NAKU PO DIYOS KO!!! saan kaya tayo pupulutin nito….

[…] The postdated checks for Diaz’s scholars, totaling P15 million, came from the President’s Social Fund and were believed tied to Palace maneuvers to trash the impeachment complaint against Arroyo.  The Palace had also issued a current-dated check worth P5 million for the same program. […]

schumey said,

Wala akong ma-isip na tao para pumalit kay pandak, pero kung may kapalit na, may I suggest that during the induction, let him/her sign a contract in full view of the public and duely noted and witnessed by the supreme court justices. Tha contract should say, “at the slightest sign of impropriety, that the president be removed from office.
…

at that rate we’ll be changing presidents everyday. lol. well at least yung mga utak talangka will be at peace.

Agree ako sa’yo. Sorry ha, nakalimutan ko nga pala na lahat nung mga injustices ay nilagay ni pandak sa puwesto.

duh? sino ba gumawa ng Konstitusyon na nag-authorize niyan? sila sisihin nyo.
