  1. I support this men of honor, and so do my family and friends!!!

    Who’s saying, “Dada” lang tayo? Hindi biro ang gastos namin sa ginagawa namin dito, sa totoo lang!

    Chi says there is only one pattern. Yes, pattern of matapobre and insultador. Ang daming nanakaw akala ngayon sila na ang pinakamayaman sa mundo! Kinakaya-kaya iyong alam nilang walang nanakaw! T—-tado talaga!

  2. Chabeli Chabeli

    I stand by these men of honor and support their cause! History will judge them well. Bravo!

  3. Yuko, Chi, Chabeli,

    I don’t know if it’s because this blog is owned by a woman (Ellen) but seems the support for these men of honor so far is only coming from women!

  4. As my friend at the Japanese DEA has asked me, Anna, “Bakit maraming bakla sa Pilipinas?”

    Now, I can answer him, “Kasi pinakulong na siguro lahat ni Bansot!” 😛

    Gotta go to bed now. Oyasumi for now.

  5. norpil norpil

  6. Last but not the least, may dalawa pang babae pero hindi maka-blog for some reason. Hindi nga makita ang blog as a matter of fact. Hopefully, Elvie and the other female bloggers will post, too. Dali bago dumating ang stalker!

  7. Whew, I was starting to worry our there for a moment…

  15. pandawan pandawan

    Ellen, I just got back from Tribune net and it is infected with virus and I had to clean my computer. There are no persons of honor in Malacanang.

    Does the men in uniform has the every right to get in politics while wearing a uniform? Does this men of honor the serve such honor, if they’ve broken their oath to the flag and to the country they supposedly protect against invaders? Angelo Reyes blindly followed the promises provided to him and the smell of money. It was wrong before as the man in uniform, and I believe it’s still wrong now. Two wrongs does not make it right!

    Are we using Honor quite cheap? Please define and lets understand the meaning of Honor. I thought honor is about the reverence of respect, a distinction of something great and honorable, especially in the field of battle, surely not on the streets.

  17. They are Men of Honor because they refused to be used to cheat in the last election. They rebelled against and exposed it. The insisted on their constitutional oath that the armed forces of the Philippines shall not engage in any partisan activity except to vote and they are being punished for that.

  18. How do we evict a fake president?
    Hard to do when she has still the power to cocoon herself tightly with a corrupt cabal of dishonorable dogs(I refuse to recognize them as true “men”). But when the cocoon will surely rip apart by constant erosion, little by little, this fat juicy larva will be devoured by the toad. Sana!

  19. Cocopilot,

    Re: “How do we evict a fake president?”

    If you ask me, you have two ways,

    1) the surgical fix which would require courage, sacrifice and lots of high-speed work
    2) or a fix requiring patience, i.e., elections, impeachment thereafter…

  20. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    These Men of Honor are already etched in Philippine history. They can not be bought, persuaded and intimidated by any means. They stand by their convictions – protector of the people!

    They will be remembered by our grandchildren as the Honorable Men who fight against the Conjugal Evil.

    My hat’s off to these Men of Honor. I salute them!

    Kayong mga amzona, yuko – ana – at iba pa
    Kaya ninyong itaguyod ang bigat ng problema:
    “Si gloria ang ikulong – hindi si Dodong”
    Dalhin si Glurilla ngayon din sa mandaluyong.

    Walang karapatang manatili
    Sa palasyo ng bayan ang mga imbi
    Sabi ni Ana isampay sa mataas na poste
    Sabi ni Elvira gapusin, itali sa balete.

    Bayang sinilangan, lupang hinirang
    Pagdurusa mo ay labis na at sukdulan
    Karapatan mong mamuhay na masagana
    Walang pakundangan inagaw ni glurilla.

    Lupang hinirang, pugad ng magiting
    Gising na sa iyong pagkagupiling
    Tama na ang pagyurak ng iyong karangalan
    At paghakot ng yaman sa kaban ng bayan.

  22. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Alitap2x,

    Hahahahaha! Pinasaya mo na naman ang madlang pipol niyan. Bayaan mo, sasabitan kita ng lei bilang pabuya. Galing mo!

  23. Alitaptap:

    Naiyak naman ako sa tula mo. Habang binabasa ko ng malakas ang bandang huli lalo na iyong bahaging lupang hinirang, tumulo na ang luha ko. Naaawa kasi ako sa bansang sinilangan ko. Gusto kong pagmumurahin ang mga walanghiyang may kasalanan ng naging kalagayan ng Pilipinas at mga pilipino. Hindi ko tuloy ma-enjoy ang kasaganahang at iba pang tinatamo ko. Lalo pa siguro kung ako pa ang nagbubuhay sa mga magulang at kapatid ko, huwag nang isama ang mga kamag-anak pang naghihikahos sa bansang iniwan.

    Alam mo, Alitaptap, mga kamag-anak naming hapon naghirap din noong guerra at matapos ang guerra, pero mataas pa rin ang kanilang mga noong itinaguyod ang kanilang mga pamumuhay hindi katulad sa Pilipinas na iyong mga nakaupo lang ang yumaman habang ang halos 85 percent ng mga pilipino ay subsob ang ulo sa basura para mabuhay.

    Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas kapag ginalugad ko ay napapasuka ako lalo na habang nababasa ko ang mga katibayan ng mga pandarambong ng mga “ironically” na sinasamba hanggang ngayon ng mga pilipino na mga bayani pero magnanakaw pala. Kaya ako, kung ako ay makakaboto sa Pilipinas, hindi ko iboboto ang mga anak ng mga yumaong presidente ng Pilipinas kahit na anong pakitang tao pa ang ipakita nilang matitino sila!

    Ang daming natanggap na pera ng Pilipinas mula sa Hapon at Amerika at maraming inutang, pero walang nangyari. Nilustay lamang ng mga walanghiya. Ninakaw pero hindi makita. At least, iyong sinasabing ninakaw ni Marcos, nakuha pero nanakaw din NG MGA MAS LALONG GANID AT SAKIM!!!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

    Ellen:

    “They are Men of Honor because they refused to be used to cheat in the last election.” If it’s what you say it’s, I’ll not doubt you. However, it was totally different of what I read about these Men of Honor. The report said, that these Men of Honor have decided to make a pronouncement to use their uniform to not support bogus Gloria politically because of Gloria’s questionable legitimacy, and that these men will march at Edsa in protest of bogus Gloria’s legitimacy. It’s of my opinion, it was not in the Men in Uniform best interest nor the military in uniform to engage in any political squable by civilians, as you mentioned except to vote. It’s not their function as define in the constitution. Of course, there are exception to the rules, specifically Angelo Reyes as one and the four-generals mentioned in the hello Garci tapes, and many others. But, it doesn’t make it right to now depend on the Men in Uniform, especially to use the Men of Honor.

    What I believe is that we should somehow stop relying on the military to make a political statements or differences in getting rid of bogus Gloria. It should strictly be done without the support of the military. It must be recognized that the civilian authority is, at all time, supreme over the military. Military’s goal is to protect the people, the State, and the integrity of the national territory. I guess, my qualm is that the numero law enforcement of the land is the one that doesn’t understand the functionality of the Men in Uniform which is why we are now in the situation to question the Men of Honor. Bogus Gloria has cheapen the Men in Uniform for abusing them.

  25. Basta para sa akin, these are men of honor who deserve our adulation and respect. Mabuhay ang mga lalaking ito na sa nga sa ingles ay may “balls”! Hindi nababakla, ‘ika nga!

  26. Pandawan,

    I also got the virus from Tribune, just finished cleaning my PC.

  27. Nemenzo for president.
    hehehe. Am I the only one last night, who saw Ellen’s next post after this one. She took it back for editing I guess.

  28. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    Toney Cuevas:
    Dictionary defines Honor (real spelling Honour) as :-
    “personal integrity” strong moral character or strength and adherence to ethical principles.

  29. ipaglaban mo ipaglaban mo

    I salute this men of honor! Mabuhay kayo! Justice will prevail.

    You maybe tagged as traitors by gloria’s bogus government today,but tomorrow, you will be hailed as hereos by the Filipino masses!

  30. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    There is no doubt that feelings for these 49 people brought to the DOJ are running high. But please tell me why only such a small gathering outside, opposite the DOJ?

  31. goldenlion goldenlion

    I salute these men of honor!!! MABUHAY KAYO!!! The big fat guy and the bansot ??? Time to pack…..it’s twilight time..let a new day dawn………

  32. Nemenzo for president, why not? And age is not a problem! Wisdom in fact comes with age!!!

    Besides, he has the experience—running a republic within a republic, you see!!! 😉

    So, who says that there is no substitute especially for one bogus president who has no qualms nor shame to tell a big pack of lies, cheat and steal?! ‘Kapalmuks!

  33. Schumey:

    I accessed Tribune last night, but it was OK. It has two URLs as a matter of fact. Which one is the viral site? I have no problem though because my virus buster won’t allow access to such viral site anyway. Even the new IE does a good cleaning of viral sites as a matter of fact.

    If you are using Windows, try to update and get those service packs that can help protect your computer. Better still, get BCWipe to clean up your computer.

    Emilio and I have proven that cleaning up with a virus buster and a spyware scanner can clear up the PC of all those unwelcome elements that register in the PC. I make it a point to scan my PC every hour for possible spywares. For the finale, I use the BCWipe.

    They’re all downloadable at the http://www.zdnet.com and http://www.download.com as freeware or a shareware.

    Matinik talaga itong mga Internet Brigade ni Bansot that I discovered in fact from as far back as 2000 at the height of the anti-Estrada campaign. At that time, she could put the blame on the beleaguered Erap, but not anymore for all fingers point to her and her brigades as the culprit!!! Common sense lang naman. Ang hirap kakampi sa kalokohan ang mga military at pulis diyan!

    Kawawang bansa! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Ang lakas ng mga angal ng mga duwag!

  34. We-will-never-learn:

    Marami sila, nakatago lang! Full-gear ang mga duwag na sundalo ni Bansot, anong ilalaban sa kanila ng mga supporters ng 49? Mahirap nang maubos sila.

    Remember more than 750 na lider nila ang napatay na! Iyong mga followers, baka pa nga inaabangang barilin para makuha ang mga kidney nila kaya nga kapag sinurender sa pamilya ang mga bangkay ng mga namamatay sa mga rally, inaabot ng linggo bago isauli! Remember the May 1 rally in 2001. Marami akong alam na namatay doon, hindi nakuha ang mga bangkay agad. Autopsied pa kaya wala nang laman-laman sa loob siguro. Ibinenta na!!!

    Kundi pa umingay ang mga hapon tungkol dito sa illegal sales of kidneys from India, China, and most of all, the Philippines, hindi pa pipiyak iyong mga guilty sa Pilipinas tungkol sa bagong negosyo ng bogus administration na ito—kidney naman ngayon!!!

    Paalala sa mga namamatayan ng aktibista. Tiyakin ninyong hindi kinukuha ang kanilang mga laman-laman kapag isinauli ang kanilang mga bangkay!

    Iyong ngang UP activists na hindi pa nakikita gayong dapat nanganak na, e baka pinatay na para makuha iyong fetus at ibenta sa mga laboratoryong may mga cell-stem experiment. Ugh! Sobrang bizarre! Sorry!

    Schumey, the virus that infect the Tribune is called VBS/SORACI and was also found and cleaned up by my McAffee virus Scan. Whoever is infecting the Tribune site, make sure you scan the site before opening it. Anyways just has our municipal election today and not able to check what’s going on most part of the world. Results are all out now after 30 minutes of polls closing. Good Luck to all the men and women in Uniforms. We just paid our tribute to ours Yesterday, the veterans and the actives, including our police and our firefighters…

  36. dapat ang pekeng presidente ang ikulong, hindi sila.

    at kung ikukulong sila, dapat ipakulong na rin si angelo reyes etal.

  37. Mrivera Mrivera

    vic, ‘yan din ang virus na na-detect at na-clean up ng McAffee virus scan dito sa PC ko.

  38. Mrivera Mrivera

    to gabriela silang brigade (anna et al),

    “Who’s saying, “Dada” lang tayo? Hindi biro ang gastos namin sa ginagawa namin dito, sa totoo lang!”

    Nothing beats being with the protesters, in person, sweating it out with them, braving the risks, the policemen, water cannons, etc.

    Daig pa kayo ni Nini Quezon-Avanceña.

    Daig pa kayo ni Nini Quezon-Avanceña. —–anthony scalia

     
    Bakit noong panahon ng Anti-Erap movement madali lang sa mainstream media na magpatawag ng suporta o mass mobilization? Bakit ngayon parang mga takot ang mga journalist/reporter na magsabi ng “Suporatahan natin si Dodong Nemenzo”?

    Palagi sana natin isipin na meron tayong PATRIOTIC DUTY

    Nagatataka ako sa ABS-CBN at GMA7, noong last quarter ng 2000 ay active sila sa pag-udyok ng taumbayan pero ngayon mahina ang boses? Sumisigaw sila na anti-GMA pero pabulong lang.

    Kitang-kita na itinataguyod nito na protektahan ang interes ng ruling class.

    toney cuevas: “Does the men in uniform has the every right to get in politics while wearing a uniform?”

    toney, iba ang kaso ni trillanes sa posisyon ni reyes dahil ang una ay mayroong prinsipyong ipinaglalaban samantalang ang huli ay pansariling interest lamang.

    masasabi nating pagbabago ang tunay na nais ng grupo ni trillanes (hindi kasama ang mga hudas na bayaran at tumalikod sa kanilang ipinaglalaban) sapagkat hindi isinasaalang-alang ng mga nasa itaas ang antas ng morale ng mga karaniwang opisyal at kawal. paano mo aasahang maging epektibo sa combat ang mga sundalong hindi sapat ang sinasahod, ang mga pamilya ay nagtitiis ng gutom at pilit pinag-aabot ang magkabilang dulo ng pisi samantalang ang mga sukab na heneral ay nagkakamot lamang ng bayag sa loob ng air conditioned offices at naghihintay lamang ng kanilang komisyon sa bawat transaksiyon sa alinmang departamento ng AFP?

    saan ba dapat magmula ang pagbabago? huwag sabihing sa ibaba tulad nang gustong mangyari ng nagmamagaling na pasingit singit lang?

  44. Mrivera:

    Tama ka kaibigan. Bakit kailangan pa bang ipanlandakan kung ano ang ginagawa natin para sa ikabubuti ng bayan? Itong mga dada lang ng dada dito ang pasingit-singit ng nagmamagaling nga ang puro dada wala naman sa gawa.

    Hindi madaling mangolekta halimbawa para ipantulong sa pamilya ng mga sinasalbahe noong magnanakaw sa Malacanang, ano? Mahirap na lang magsalita. Ayaw kong magmura sa totoo lang pero hindi mo mapigilang magmura sa mga hinayupak na ito sa totoo. Sa isang banda, bakit ko kukunsumihin ang sarili ko sa mga hayup na ito. Bakit pinalalamon ba nila ako? Taragis insultador pa iyong isang hinayupak dito na akala mo hindi ka makakapunta sa Pilipinas o kahit saan kung gugustuhin mo. Susmarya. Kami pa dito sa Japan na napakadaling kumita. Sabi ng ng mga kamag-anak ko sa Tate, ginagawa ko lang parang Quiapo ang SFO, hindi ako makakapunta ng Pilipinas? Point is, bakit ako pupunta doon na wala akong pakay? Sinabi na nga naming kapag napatalsik si Pandak. Sa totoo lang, boycott sa akin ang Pilipinas! Ayokong makinabang ang Pandak sa wawaldasin kong pera sa Pilipinas kung pumunta ako diyan. Doon na lang muna ako pupunta halimbawa sa Honolulu para maki-enjoy kundi naman makibaka.

  45. Dear Firefly,

    Your poem should be the battlecry of Gabriela Silang Brigade…in song form as in “Aux armes les citoyens, marchons, marchons….”

    “paano mo aasahang maging epektibo sa combat ang mga sundalong hindi sapat ang sinasahod, ang mga pamilya ay nagtitiis ng gutom at pilit pinag-aabot ang magkabilang dulo ng pisi samantalang ang mga sukab na heneral ay nagkakamot lamang ng bayag sa loob ng air conditioned offices at naghihintay lamang ng kanilang komisyon sa bawat transaksiyon sa alinmang departamento ng AFP?”

    Mrivera, thanks for pointing this out. Ito ang tunay na kalagayan ng sandatahang pinoy.

  47. chi chi

    ystakei,

    Ano ang ginagawa dito ng mga “neither here, nor there”. We are saluting “Men of Honor” here, and I am sure thru dada, these principled men will hear loudly our much needed support. MAG-INGAY ng marinig. BUMULONG at siguradong sa bulsa ang tuloy.

  48. Chi,

    Re: “Ano ang ginagawa dito ng mga “neither here, nor there”.”

    Good question well put!

  49. Chabeli Chabeli

    Off topic…An article on the The Daily Tribune says that “FG threatens more libel suit vs critics”. (http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20061115hed1.html)

    It seems that this Pig, or Baboy, enjoys harassment, despite the Joint Foreign Chamber of Commerce unprecedented call to Gloria’s administration to “stop the political killings as these would impact on foreign investments.”

    Kung i-lechon nalang kaya natin tong Baboy na to!

    ———

    Totoo iyang sinabi mo, Nelbar, ang pinakamaingay noong 2000 sa ABS-CBN ay si Karen Davila. Sakay pa siya ng helicopter ng ABS-CBN habang kinukunan ng shots ang ipinatatayong mga mansyon ni Erap.

    Ngayon ay mukhang piping alipin na ang maingay noong 2000. Ayaw na rin bumanat ng tungkol kay Pandak. Natatakot siguro makasuhan ng libel.

    Sa totoo lang, malaking kabulastugan ang mga shows ni Karen Davila sa The Correspondents tungkol sa mga nurses na napunta sa UK at mga teachers na narecruit sa US.

    Gulat na gulat siya sa suweldo na US$5,000 per month. Direct conversion sa Philippine pesos kaya ang mga nurses at teachers nagkakada-kumahog na umalis.

    Ang tanong: sa US$5,000 per month na sahod, magkano ang take home pay?

    Kaya credible na lang ngayon ang mga investigative reporters na miyembro ng NUJP/PCIJ pero ang mga newsreaders/reporters ng dalawang TV stations? Hindi ko alam.

  51. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Emilio,
    Tutoo yang mga sinabi mo. Napansin ko nga rin dito kahit nasa malayo ako, tahimik na ang ABS-CBN. Kaya naman ang nagkaroon ng papel sa Malacanan ay yung GMA ni Mike Enriquez, na pinapurihan ng katakot-takot nung pinakakilalang si GMA (Arroyo). Kasi ang ABS-CBN TV-Patrol ang lagi kong napapanood dito tuwing umaga sa TFC.

    Chi, Anna, Chabeli: Come on, gurls! In this world of ours (whether you talk of the Philippines or the global arena) variety and hybridity are sometimes helpful. Homogenized ideas are not only flat, they get to be boring and cacophonic if you hear the same tune over and over again. From my own little corner, I enjoy hearing different voices, esp. those that are articulated with decency.

  52. Ja, jawol Hawaiianguy! You’re right… but at some point in time, one needs to “articulate” one’s thoughts here in this blog rather than make a true lechon baboy of the First Baboy…Ellen thoguth it was the more decent thing to do rather than go for the surgical fix so sometime back.

  53. Chabeli Chabeli

    Hawiianguy,
    Your comments are respected and NOTED.

  54. artsee artsee

    Kasama din ako sa Men of Honor. Noon nasa grade school ako, second honor ako.

  55. chi chi

    hawwianguy, I hear a lot of different voices in this blog, kaya lang ay may ipinaglalaban ang blog ni Ellen, hehehe!

  56. Chi:

    You bet! Mahirap makipagtalo sa mga bayaran o may sapak sa ulo! Useless! Maging sa Bible nga, ang advice ni Jesus Christ ay pagpagin ang paa ang kumaripas ng takbo! Hindi kailangang makipagdebate sa mga ganitong uri ng tao na halata mo namang nanliligaw lang ng usapan. Mahirap iyong mga taong gusto nila sila lang ang magaling!

  57. chi chi

    Sabi ni Emilio,”Gulat na gulat” si Karen Davila “sa suweldo na US$5,000 per month” ng mga nurse sa US at UK. Direct conversion sa Philippine pesos kaya ang mga nurses at teachers nagkakada-kumahog na umalis.”

    Emilo, nakakagulat ang halagang iyan sa peso lalo na at ang nagrereport mismo ay hindi sumusweldo ng ganyan kalaki. And dapat sa Karen na iyan, sabi mo nga ay nag-research sa US at UK para malaman niya kung magkano ang natitira. Nasilaw kaagad sa laki ng kwarta, ano? O hindi kaya ng ABS-CBN na pasahehan siya, di bale na lang kung kulang-kulang ang report.

  58. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Ok, ok. Copy loud and clear.

  60. TongueT:

    Wow! Chinese restaurant na pala ngayon iyong mga nagtiyatiyaga pang sumaludo sa bogus president ha. Tanda ko noong May 1, 2001, ang mga sundalo pinakain lang ng Kentucky Fried Chicken. Tinago ko kasi ang picture ni Mrs. Pidal noon na kumakain ng KFC chicken with the soldiers in front of the Palace. May caption pa nga e that went something like this: “O sige ha, pagbutihin ninyo ang pagbabantay para sa akin para next time lalo kayong makakakain ng Kentucky Fried Chicken! Kundi wala kayo niyan!”

    Nanginsulto pa! Alam kasi nyang cannot afford sila sa mga sueldo nila.

  61. TongueT:

    On the other hand, ang talas talaga ng paningin mo ha. Napansin mo pa ang minantikaang mga bibig ng pansit! 😉

    As for the soldiers, try to understand that these guys have been dishing out 5% from their monthly payslips to finance a multi-billion scam called RSBS and are not expecting any return once they retire.

    These billions were managed by chiefs-of-staff from Marcos’ Gen. Romeo Espino to the present Esperon who chaired RSBS as a corporate venture, an investment company, a financial institution, a lending house, real estate developer, communications equipment maker and theme park owner and many other business ventures where many employees were military dependents.

    The Feliciano Commission lists the following as the real estate investments of RSBS, (the perennial excuse was that real estate prices spiralled down after the Asian financial crisis of 1977 is unacceptable looking at this list as most of these were successful undertakings that RSBS’ partners made really good profits from it while RSBS seems to have lost all of it!):

    HAYUP, di ba? I wonder why our soldiers prefer to keep their peace and not pulverize their leaders’ houses with mortar shells if only for this pang-gagago!

    If they cannot even protect their ranks, how can we expect them to be protectors of the people. Mabuti na lang, may natitira pang mga Trillanes, Gudani, Lim, Querubin, et al. na handang itaya ang buhay, bahay, at bayag para lang mapatino ang pamumuno.

    Mabuhay kayong lahat kahit di namin kayo nakita kahapon at (pahiram Yuko) PATALSIKIN NA! NOW NA!

    Yuko, actually kahit isang kilometro ang layo mo sa kanila, sa dami ba naman nilang amoy-kinchay ang hininga, alam mo nang pancit ang meryenda. Lalo na pag sabay-sabay yung dami na yun ay dumighay, amoy mo pati gulaman at sago na pantulak! Buti na lang hindi panis yung kinain, mantakin mong sabay-sabay din silang uutot, sigurado, takbuhan ang lahat papasok sa Emergency Room ng kalapit na PGH!Hehehe!

    TongueT, thanks for that informative list. Hayup talaga!

    “…Asian financial crisis of 1977 ..” If am not mistaken, that’s 1997.

  65. chi chi

    Wow, with that milyon-milyunes kwarta, no wonder why the Henerales are under-de-saya. Kaya pala ipinakulong at bartolina pa ang ibang mga sundalos na may yagbols! Ang baho na nang saya ng kanilang komander-in-cheap, doon pa rin nagsusumiksik ang mga walang saysay at buhong na henerales na ito.

  66. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Thanks, hawaiianguy, for pointing out the typo. A slip of The Tongue. Yes, it was in 1997 when George Soros played this trick on the Asian economies, and in a few days, walked away with USS 5Billion added to his fund!

  67. Tongue, dapat nagkita tayo doon sa DOJ. Saan ka banda doon?
    I’ll try to be there again on Monday. They need moral support. I feel that the Filipino people owe a lot to these men of honor.

    entry from wikipedia:
     
     
    Stanley Druckenmiller formerly managed money for George Soros, and now dedicates himself to work full time at Duquesne Capital which he founded in 1981. He is married to Dreyfus Corporation (a Mellon Financial Corporation subsidiary) manager Fiona Biggs, niece of Morgan Stanley former global investment strategist Barton Biggs. In 1985, he became a consultant to Dreyfus and lived in New York City two days each week. He moved there full-time when he was named head of the Dreyfus Fund. He was hired by George Soros in 1988 to replace Victor Niederhoffer at Quantum Fund. With an estimated current net worth of around $1.8 billion, he is ranked by Forbes as the 428-richest person in the world. He was fired by George Soros in 2000 after taking large losses in technology stocks. Since then he concentrated full time on Duquesne Capital, which has had a very successful track record. He is profiled in the book The New Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager.

     
    He holds BA in English and Economics from Bowdoin College. He dropped out of a three-year Ph.D. program in economics at the University of Michigan in the middle of the second semester.

    panis yan si Soros kay Dr.Mahathir Mohammad!

     

  69. TongueT:

    Sobrang vivid ng description mo. Dinalahahit ako ng ubo!!! 🙂

  70. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    “panis yan si Soros kay Dr.Mahathir Mohammad!” Narinig ko rin kung paano siya nilampaso sa sahig ni Mahathir, kasi Jew pala yang si Soros.

    Maiba ako, meron ba sa inyo na nakapag research kung sinu-sino ang mga henerales ang pinabuyaan ni Glue ng magandang puwesto mula noong 2001? Siguro, maganda ito itapat sa kasalukuyang thread, tulad ng ginawang listahan ni Tongue. Ano say niyo?

  71. Thanks, TongueT. Sasabihin ko sa mga kasama ko na hingiin ang mga records ng mga binanggit mong funds para sa PPT presentation sa Pilipinas and elsewhere. Kaniya-kaniya kami ng hanapan ngayon ng mga pinaggagawa ng mga ungas na ito ngayon kung saan-saan. Dito sa Japan, I am asking for police assistance in checking the deals with Japanese companies that have done projects with the crooks in the palace by the murky river. Wala namang hindi puede kasi under jurisdiction naman ng mga police ang mga kompanyang ito with offices in Japan. God willing may mahahanap sila.

    hawaiianguy,

    limang beses binanggit ni GMA ang “Espinosa” sa speech niya sa “Commencement Exercises of the AFP Joint Command and Staff College Class NR06” noong February 8,2001.

    Anong batch ba sa PMA si General Edgardo Espinosa?

    Dami ng buhay ang naputi sa larangan
    Dami ng tahanang pighati ang iniwan
    Subalit ang panatang pagtatanggol sa bayan
    Ay parang dila ng apoy sa pagkalat di mapigilan.

    Sa dibdib ay nakintal nadambana ang paggiliw
    Sa bayang sinilangang lupa ng magigiting
    Anumang panlilinglang di nila yayakapin
    At mamatamisin pang ang buhay ay ihain.

    Sinumpaang pagsisilbing walang bahid takot
    Alinlangan ma’y walang mababakas sa kilos
    Pangalawa ang sa bayan, ang una ay sa Diyos
    Buong puso’ng katapatan at karangalang maglilingkod.

    Iyan ang diwa ng kabayanihang kanilang ipamamana
    Sa susunod na saling lahing ating magsisilbing pag-asa
    Halimbawang walang pag-iimbot, busilak na panata
    Hindi kayang buwagin walang lakas ang kapara.

    Halina at kumilos humayo na mga kapatid
    Huwag nating hayaan ang bayan sa dusa ay mabulid
    Ating bigyang parangal mga bayaning sa pag-ibig
    Alang alang sa ating bukas kahit dugo nila’y ititigis!

  74. Wow, ang dami palang makata dito! I’ll collect all the poems I got from this blog. I will compile them and then, who knows, we can produce something as memento of the struggle against the Dwarf Menace circa 2001-2007.

  75. Ellen,

    Who knows, Malacanang’s hundreds of little fingers are clicking away and posted the site above replete with viruses to annoy the commenters in Ellen’s blog.

    Luli and her friends are perhaps staging a war with computer viruses for their frigging soldiers?

  76. chi chi

    WOW, Mrivera!

    Superb, Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!
    Nakakaiyak naman ang tula mo.

  77. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Ellen, we didn’t get farther than the UP-PGH compound. It was actually a reunion of sorts. I never got to see my Diliman classmates until yesterday, we did a lot of catching up. We arrived at around 10:30 and when we decided to pass by the College of Medicine to see a doc who was also a classmate, we lost much time there. And when we trooped to DOJ, the doctors included, barado na. Sa tapat na lang ng ospital kami. We stayed only for a few minutes. Kung nakita mo yung 3 duktor na naka-gown pa, kami yung kasama.

  78. TongueT,

    Kaya ano iyong allegation na wala naman daw rallyist doon? Iilan lang daw! Gusto pang ipalabas na mas maraming palakpak brigade si Pandak! Sino bang tinatakot niya? Sabi ko nga, “Tell it to the marines!”

    Buti na lang andiyan ka na nagre-report! Thanks. Nakakabuhay ng loob!

  79. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Anong wala, e di na nga kami nakalabas ng Ospital (PGH) dahil harang na kami doon. Di ko alam kung saan naitaboy yung iba. Kita naman sa picture sa taas. Isama mo pa yung galing sa College of Medicine. Pero, malupit ang mga spotter ng ISAFP/CIDG naka-video lahat ng rallyists, pati kotse namin parang inilista pa nga e. Buti na lang nag-swap kami ng kotse ng isang classmate ss meeting place namin sa Diliman.

    Bakit di nila ipakita ang litratong walang tao doo. Maraming naka cellphonecams ang kumuha, mapapahiya sila.

    I must admit though, hindi ganoon karami. Outnumbered nga kami ng Marines + Police. Pero tignan mo kung sinong nandoon. De-kalidad, hindi hakot crowd. Hindi kasi announced, by invitation lang yata. Kundi ko pa nabasa dito sa blog, di ko makokontak yung old classmates ko. Wala nga kaming dalang tao e. Sayang nga di ko napansin si Ellen, nakamayan man lang sana.

  82. TongueT,

    Ang tindi talaga ng censorship. Buti na lang maraming nagpapadala sa amin na nasa labas ng mga invitation kahit alam nilang wala kami diyan kasi alam naman nilang maipararating namin sa mga concerned talaga na mga pinoy.

    Hanga ako doon sa anak ni Manuel Quezon, si Mimi Avancena ba iyon. As a child, I was brought up to hold her father at very high esteem na na-TB sa pakikibaka para maging malaya ang bansa. Hindi niya akalaing mas ulupong pala ang marami sa mga kababayan niyang minsan nakaakyat sa likod ng kalabaw ay mas masahol pa doon sa mga dayuhang umalipin sa kanila!

    Remember his most quoted phrase on being ruled by Filipinos like hell as being preferable to being ruled by foreigners. Hindi niya kasi alam na may mga talamak ang pagkaganid at pagkasakim na gaya ni Bansot at Fatso! Iba kasi noong panahon niya! 😛

  83. chi chi

    ystakei,

    Kung meron lang clairvoyance si Manuel L. Quezon noon at nakita na may lalabas na katulad ni Tianak at Pidal, baka nagmakaawa pa siya na ipasailalim ng Amerika ang kanyang bansang Pinas. Pero matatapos rin sila, malapit na!

  84. anthony scalia anthony scalia

    “Hindi niya kasi alam na may mga talamak ang pagkaganid at pagkasakim na gaya ni Bansot at Fatso! Iba kasi noong panahon niya!”

    Lalong hindi niya alam na may mga destabilizers called ‘united opposition’ of post-EDSA 2, kaya di maka-usad ang ‘Pinas. Ginugulo yung mga collective efforts ng private sector na maka-usad ang bansa.

    The opposition during Marcos’ time should file a case against the ‘united opposition’ to prevent them from using the word ‘opposition’. They (‘united opposition’) tarnish the word ‘opposition’. “destablizers” is more like it

    “Kung meron lang clairvoyance si Manuel L. Quezon noon at nakita na may lalabas na katulad ni Tianak at Pidal, baka nagmakaawa pa siya na ipasailalim ng Amerika ang kanyang bansang Pinas”

    Baka mas maigi pang – baka nagmakaawa pa siya na tapusin na lang ni Erap ang term niya. Di bale nang magka-leche leche ang ekonomiya, di bale nang lumaki ng todo ang deficit, di bale nang maging Argentina ang ‘Pinas (nag-default sa loans), di bale nang talamak ang jueteng, kidnapping, at smuggling (malayang rumarampa ang kanyang midnight cabinet). Wala namang destablizers na kagaya ng ‘united opposition’ of post-EDSA 2

    “Pero matatapos rin sila, malapit na!”

    Malapit na nga ang 2010
