‘Hello Garci’ deconstructed

PCIJ, pwede nyong paliitin ang size ng mp3 files for easier download? like around 32kbps perhaps?

Aside from the acid that we constantly throw at Arroyo, is there any sense that she is closer to leaving today than in July/August? I have a feeling that the answer is no. The middle class is ambivalent about potential post-Arroyo scenarios and the lack of a credible leader in the antiadministration group.

If I am correct, then all we are doing here is some kind of catharsis. Maybe useful a bit personally, but not in terms of seeing her out. I actually think that Ramos and constitutional change will have more to do with easing her out than any popular movement.

I think it would be better if another tape be released, something like of immoral. Most headlines caught my attention though, that Garci will tell all. Got a message for you buddy — BRING IT ON!!!

Hats off to the PCIJ Channel. Galing!

Remember the Golden Rule in Cold Reading : always tell the subject what he/she wants to hear

What’s happenning to our country? We have a fake president, a liar, cheat, and yes very arrogant!!! Now that GARCI is back, more lies and lies, lies ahead of us. Perhaps, GARCI has mastered the SCRIPT prepared by Lupita , the director,with collaboration perhaps from BUNYE, SALUDO, GONZALES 1 and GONZALES 2, MIKE DEFENSOR,PICHAY,TIGLAO. When GARCI appears it will be blockbuster!!! BUT Not necessarily truthfull.
Previews of GARCI’s coming performance:
1. Gracia, the wife appears neat at mukhang kagalang-galang. Issuing
some conditions before GARCI appears.
2. Bunye discrediting the opposistion again,(BUNYE, am not an
opposition,we are not opposition, we are for truth. Ayaw namin sa
mga sinungaling,magnanakaw sa gobyerno!!!)
3. Pichay said that GARCI is a victim, matuk mo Dong victim KUno si
GARCI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Cong. Remulla ousted from the committee investigating HELLO GARCI
What’s next?
1. Congress withdrawing warrant of arrest to GARCI?
2. GARCI press conference at Manila Hotel with matching motorcade to
Malacanang?
POR DIOS POR SANTO!! – DIOS NAMIN, TULUNGAN MO KAMI!!!

Garcillano’s sudden appearance has caught the Opposition flat footed. It goes beyond their comprehension that he would surface at this time when Gloria is too deep shit in trouble.

Now Garci hints at telling all and more, hinting some Opposition members will be implicated, and the Opposition in a knee-jerk reaction claims Malacanang is behind Garci’s reemergence to send shock waves to the Opposition.

Already Lacson is warding off any reference that the Opposition is capable of cheating. For one who has a serious moral problem saying that is like two thieves calling each other thief.

The problem with the Opposition is they love to grandstand, talk and complain endlessly as in the senate investigations, the impeachment, and during the entire episode of the Garci tape scandal, but is clueless on how to put up an effective offense in a face off confrontation with Malacanang. They always end up losers. As a result of all this, what significant accomplishments do they have to show us?

Garci may well be the last card for the Opposition, but as I see it, Garci will succeed in diluting the election issue against GMA as he and Malacanang will take the offensive against them. That little woman has outwitted them again.

nice point baycas, if there’s any incriminating evidence against the opposition also (i really don’t care if there is, tamaan na ang tamaan at maparusahan mapaadministrasyon man or opposition) fine, let’s hear it. but why malacanang or bunye did not show this to the public a long time ago? why present only the “hello gary tape” or the “x tape” (later on call it as fake as well)? why ask the opposition to produce a 9-hr complete(?) tape as what some people in the adminsitration and garci is now claiming? it’s their people who made this tape. they should ask the isafp about this (if it does exist) not the opposition. for sure there’s money involved when this tape landed at the hands of the opposition. and even if garci makes a disclosure about other people talking to him as well like legarda, escudero and others, without any solid proof such as the hello garci tapes, it would mean nothing but just a ploy for the defense of glue-ria. show garci and let us hear the other tape that he is claiming and let the administration produce that so called complete tape… para masama na rin lahat ng mandaraya.

etong si garci ginawang tanga(?) yung gobyerno lalo na ang BID. mantakin mo labas-masok ng bansa hindi alam ng BID. ng tanungin si fernandez hindi niya alam kung paano nangyari yun. kakatawa naman talaga oo.

ang tanong toro, if garci really did not leave the country, who is protecting him. sino ang nagtago sa kanya? walang reported sightings noon hindi katulad lately na marami ng naglabasan na balitang nakita siya sa mindanao in different places. tumayming sa paglabas ng asawa niya. at bakit ngayon lang lumantad ang asawa ni garci? base sa inteview ng ANC hindi klaro ang pagkasagot neto kung talagang hindi sila lumabas ng bansa. medyo alanganin ang pagkasagot na “hindi”. ngayon din lang nagpuputak etong mga administration congressmen like pichay na nakausap nila si garci. ibig sabihin kasama sila sa GRAND CONSPIRACY sa pagtatago kay garci. and to think na sila ang nagpalabas ng arrest warrant. at the end taong-bayan na naman ang naloko.

pinalamig lang nila talaga ang issue bago palabasin si garci. alam nila madaling makalimot ang mga pinoy. ngayon alam ni glue-ria medyo lumipas na ang galit ng mga tao at mukhang malakas na naman ang kapit niya sa puwesto. well, as what toro said, the little woman is witty.

Obet, bakit ka naman iwa-wiretap? VIP ka ba? Kaya huwag kang matakot sa wiretapping. Dapat nga ilagay sa batas na pwede itong gamitin against government officials (only on government officials not on private citizens) kung may graft & corruption, para na rin sa transparency in government.

Mindanao, because of its mountainous terrain, is the perfect hideout (an election-rigger and “terrorists” alike). besides, garci has lots of friends there and he could easily “blend in” with the commoners without even having to play incognito. without a doubt, it’s the ideal LAST place one will look for him…but wait…who was looking for garci in the FIRST place???

not the lazy, grandstanding opposition…and certainly not the clairvoyant lame duck in malacañang!

garci will tell all…for sure…but the “all” will definitely depend on what the script says…

some important notes or reminders:

garci was the one wiretapped or more specifically, “bugged” (because you can hear the “dialing” sound just a like a modem does when garci contacts somebody and you can also hear garci’s ringing tone when he is called upon) NOT gloria.

HOR’s five-committee hearings were for that purpose – to investigate on the hello, garci tapes AND wiretapping. only to have a stumble-block when garci cannot be produced and what’s more, it was overrun by the infamous impeachment “proceedings.”

senate’s biazon committee hearing, the former general citing a possible breach in national security, also has the same purpose…remember the time gudani and balutan testified?…that was the wiretapping hearing. of course, we all know how it was derailed by a plague that has infected the government people…practically making them deaf and mute…the “curse” of eo 464!

how about the afp’s own investigation on its intelligence service? nothing came out of it! in fact, isafp personnels suspected to be behind the wiretapping of garci were left untouched (in contradistinction to garci’s “soft touch” policy on witnesses) or even rewarded*:

rear admiral tirso danga: then isafp chief during 2004 elections, now afp deputy chief of stafffor intelligence (J2)
brig. gen. marlu quevedo: then deputy isafp chief during 2004 elections, now isafp chief
lt. col. pedro sumayo: then isafp MIG21 chief (surveillance desk) during 2004 elections, now still isafp MIG21 chief
t/sgt. vidal doble: then assigned with MIG21 during 2004 elections, now restricted at the isafp compound, where his family now lives – as did his two girlfriends, for a time. no charges were filed against him.

how about an independent body to investigate? just pleasing to the mind but i don’t expect this would happen…

gloria hostaged not just by donald dee et al but by the institutions she has corrupted and politicized as well…gloria muzzling the media for their excesses despite having some government-controlled media and journalist allies…now that’s having a lame duck for a president…

Toro, i definitely agree with you specially about Tatad story. Walang logic ang pinagsasabi niya about the alleged meeting nina Garci at Mike Arroyo. Hindi naman siguro ganoon katanga si Mike para makipagkita pa kay Garci ng ganon-ganon nalang na nakikita ng mga tao sa mindanao. Lahat interasado kung nasaan si Garci tapos lalantad pa siya sa mga Hotel kasama pa si First Gentleman. Napafiction naman ata ng story na yun. Ganda gumawa ng istorya ni Tatad, complete pa yung mga plate no. at model ng sasakyan. Hindi naman siguro ganun ka stupido ang administrasyon para gawin yun. May escort pa raw na mga pulis ang convoy nina Garci at First gentleman… Saan na naman pinagkukuha ni Tatad ang kwentong yun? Si James bond ata ang source ni Tatad eh, sobra naman ganun kadetalye. Akala siguro maiimpress yung tao sa kwento niya, pero hindi naman ganun katanga yung tao nakikinig at nanunuod sa kanya. Maghintay nalang tayo kung totoo ngang nasa mindanao pa si Garci at lulutang nga siya. Huwag na munang makisawsaw at gumawa ng mga kwentong kutsero ang ibang tao sa opposition para hindi na gumulo pa ang sitwasyon.

Toro and kavenishi,
Huwag kayong ganyan. May naniniwala dito sa kwentong kutsero ni Tatad. Baka magalit sa inyo si jr_lad, harharhar!

At yung isa dyan sa itaas, gusto pang i-legalize ang wiretapping..tsk.tsk.
May kamag-anak pa yata sa Intelligience. Bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan ay ….. pasensya ka!

toro,

“Now Garci has made the move. Those six months he spent in hiding must have given him time to perfect his defense and how to fight back. The Opposition should be ready for this. Hindi pwede ang tutulog-tulog sa pancitan. Garci cannot be that bold to enter the lion’s den in Congress and allow his accusers to skin him alive.”

yep, i doubt if the fellow hasn’t written and memorized his script (or that written by others for him) in the months he was conspicuously absent. i once read a novel how such a scenario was done wherein a group of conspirators fled their country for a non-extradition one, developed an airtight alibi, then smuggled themselves back to “face the music”.

needless to say, these people got off that way.

of course, the hero (anti-hero?) in the book hunts them all down and shoots each one dead, but that’s another story…

kapartihan, matanong ko lang, saang liga mo naman ihahanay yang amo mong si glue-ria? sa mga heneral ba? heneral ng mga SINUNGALING!

ano naman kredibilad merong ipapakita si garci? after more than 5 months na pagtatago bigla na lang lilitaw at sasabihing kasinungalingan ang mga paratang sa kanya? ngayon willing na siyang humarap sa kongreso at sagutin ang mga tanong. eh bakit hindi pa noon? bakit kailangan pa niyang magtago muna ng napakatagaL? afraid for his safety? kakampi mo ang presidente matatakot ka? hehehe again. esep-esep. utuin nyo ang mga gustong magpauto sa inyo.

pero maganda yang lumantad na si garci. ipaliwanag niya isa-isa yung mga usapan nila ni glue-ria sa “hello garci” tape. tingnan natin paano niya ilusot yung mga sinasabi niyang “there was no rigging in the last election”. kung meron siyang mailabas na tape din implicating more people including the opposition, mas maganda. it’s like hitting 2 birds with one stone. abangan!

[…] Garcillano admitted speaking to Mrs. Arroyo and other candidates on the phone in May 2004 but said those conversations were "normal and certainly not illegal or improper" as they concerned merely "procedural matters." (Click here to listen to PCIJ’s podcast on the commissioner’s conversations with the president.) […]

[…] Yet, she managed to hang on. The last year revealed Arroyo’s exceptional survival skills and a killer instinct that few have thus far given her credit for. She has managed to outmaneuver the opposition, which was bent on ousting her after the public revelation of wiretapped phone conversations where she was heard talking about election fraud. She gritted her teeth and let loose the police against mounting street protests. She likewise survived a bruising impeachment proceeding in the House of Representatives largely by deploying her allies in Congress and using patronage to buy the loyalty of legislators.  […]
