Garcillano: I can win without cheating

Rep. Neric Acosta(LP) should be worried.

Here’s a report from ABS-CBN:

Former poll commissioner Virgilio Garcillano confirmed Thursday his candidacy as 1st district representative of Bukidnon in the 2007 May elections, saying that he would win “without cheating.”

“I am [running as] congressman [in the] first district of Bukidnon… I have decided to run,” he said in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN Regional Network Group.

“I want to prove to all that… I can win an election fair and square manner, not cheating,” he added.

Garcillano grabbed national headlines last year after the surfacing of alleged wiretapped conversations between him and President Arroyo. The tapes allegedly contained plans by Mrs. Arroyo to rig the May 2004 elections, an allegation that the two have denied.

Last month the Department of Justice dropped 21 counts of perjury and falsification of documents filed against the former Commission on Elections official in connection with the wiretapping scandal.

Richard Anthony Fadullon, the assistant chief state prosecutor handling the case, junked the charges against Garcillano due to insufficient evidence. A 12-page resolution issued on November 14 said: “The reasonable probability of his guilt thereon has not been fairly established by the State.”

Garcillano said a congressional inquiry into the scandal failed to prove the authenticity of the wiretaps.

“There should be concrete evidence that will prove probability of my guilt. But as it is now, there is no basis of evidence. In fact they did not even substantiate their case by filing their counter-affidavit. Until now there is no counter-affidavit,” he said.

Garcillano said he does not feel that he has an advantage against the incumbent Rep. Nereus Acosta or his mother, Socorro, who is reportedly planning to run for the same post.

“Well, I do not see any edge as of now but I’m just trying to present myself. If the people will feel if I am qualified for the position then it’s up to them to decide,” he said.

“I’m just asking the people to look forward and further so that they will be able to know whether people who are aspiring for a position like this can do something for the improvement of the district,” he added.

If elected, Garcillano promised to push for agricultural development in Bukidnon.

“This is an area where agricultural production is very dominant. I would like to have soft loans for small farmers who can not be able to finance their crop production. Second, we have to educate our people. Third, they should be encouraged to stay and not go abroad,” he said.

  1. Garci your an old man dreaming, just think yourself lucky for the moment, tend to your flowers on your farm until your past catches up with you. Read your local newspapers the people there on Mindanao know you for what you are and for what you did. Do you think they will trust you, dream on Garci.

    garcillano, huwag kitang matitiyempuhan pag-uwi ko, kakapunin kita upang hindi na dumami pa ang lahi mo! pati dila mo, bibiyakin ko para wala ng kasinungalingang lalabas sa bibig mo!

    Garci is surely missing the point here. The question is not whether he can win without cheating in an election. The issue is whether or not GMA cheated last 2004 elections and what was Garci’s participation..Definitely, this running for congressional seat is just a way to evade arrest from those who want him arrested for not heeding the call of the senators to testify at their hearing. A representative cannot be arrested while congress is in session except when the penalty imposable is more than 6 years imprisonment. This Garci is very cunning indeed!!!

  4. If elected, Garcillano promised to push for agricultural development in Bukidnon. Thats good perhaps he will get Bollante to assist him. And whats this Garci talking about when he says small farmers should be encouraged to stay and not going abroad, how many small farmers does he know that are IT experts or domestics, and going abroad. Garci your dreaming again get back to your flower growing. The last time it became too hot in the kitchen, you disappeared for many months running around like a scared rabbit. Stop being such an insult to the people of Mindanao.

  5. OK, so Garcillano says he does not have to steal votes, but there are many ways he can do to win! No doubt about that.

    He can surely win the election. The Great Switik can mobilize the military to threaten, hassle, and intimidate to force the province-mates to vote for him. Or as in the case of the unqualified and inept brother of the Pidal, there will be lots of vote-buying again (in lieu of vote-stealing) paid with money from such public funds as the OWWA funds, etc.

    Point is why should Filipinos tolerate and vote for a wannabe felon since vote-buying, vote-stealing, electioneering, perjury, contempt of court, etc. are crimes punishable by fine and imprisonment even in the Philippines?

    At least, the last prayer rally even with just 150,000 faithfuls proved that Filipinos could stop anything that the idiots squatting at the palace by the murky river would plan out to do. Patigasan lang naman ng “resolve” sa totoo lang!

    GREAT SWITIK, ALIS NA DYAN! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! HUWAG IBOTO SI GARCI! DAPAT DIYAN IKULONG! Ukininana nga lastog!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

    I didn’t sleep till late and early during the 2004 election canvassing in Congress. That was the senate’s finest hour. I was waiting for the senators to give their bad team mates hell with fists and chairs. Hinihintay kong buntalin ng grupo ni Pimentel sina de venecia, pangilinan, gonzalez, flavier etc. walang nangyari. they are too much of blue blood gentlemen to lift a finger while their country is being raped by their kind. Nagpalakpakan pa matapos ang rape.
    Mula noon inutil na para sa akin ang Senado. I am being kind to these Christians who were meek and willing accomplices and accessories to the rape of their country.

    The senate is the ultimate mirror image of our people. The senators should admit they are only as good as the people who allow them to be there. Unlike the Tongressmen, the senators could be the most experts wolves in sheep’s clothing.

    If the lower house is the domicile of black collar criminals, the senate is the abode of white collar criminals. As time goes by as the song goes, the distinction vanishes, white and black crimes become the common traits of both houses. I am not surprise that a unicameral body, the constitutional fusion of the hotbed of souless criminals Iis in the offing.
    Hindi ba mas makabubuti sa atin ang unicameral Congress or Parliament kaysa Martial Law.

    Tingnan natin kung ang ating mga abogado at mga militante kasing gentlemen ng mga senador. Handa na ba silang lumaban sa Korte para matuloy (ulitin) matuloy ang election. Yun lang ang magagawa nila. Cancelado na kay Gloria ang election. Papel at bunganga na lang ang laban sa Korte. si General Mike Defensor kunyari kakandidato.

    WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FILIPINOS IN THE YEAR OF THE MIKE?

    HAPPY? NEW YEAR TO ALL.

  7. Robert,your reasoning really astound me. You said,” didn’t sleep till late and early during the 2004 election canvassing in Congress. That was the senate’s finest hour.”

    Yet, you also say, “Mula noon inutil na para sa akin ang Senado.”

    Kunyari galit ka kina De venecia. Tapos sabihin mo,”If the lower house is the domicile of black collar criminals, the senate is the abode of white collar criminals.”

    Your political color is showing. Okay lang yan. I welcome all views even if they are opposed to mine. Klaruhin mo lang.

    Otherwise, panloloko ang ginagawa mo.

    No doubt, mananalo ang SOB Garci, eh para ano ba ang milyunes na isinusustento ng pekeng Glueria sa kanilang mag-asawang DisGracia.

    Ayon ako kay Golpedegulat na hindi siya ang tunay na puntos ng usapan kundi ang pandaraya ni Glueria noong 2004 eleksyon. Iwas pusoy lang ang gimmick na ‘yan.

    Kailangan ni Glueria si Garci sa Tongress, kasi doon naman siya mandaraya ng impeachment votes pag nagkataon!
    Bakit ba puro G ang mga walanghiyang ito? Glueria, Garci, (dis)Gracia! Mga GAGO!

    Para sa akin ay hindi dapat mawala kay Glueria ang ating laban. Kung mawala ang pangit na ito ay wala rin ang Garci na palsipikador na ‘yan.

    The dropping of complaints against Garcillano of his orchestrating the Election Fraud by the DOJ simply meant that the State Prosecutors just didn’t have the “balls” to swing around against the Adminsitration. It never meant the absolution of Garci Crimes. He was not declared “innocent” by any court of law, but by an Agency of the Government under the Executive, the DOJ, whose master the President, is the object it has to Protect at all Cost. There was not even a thorough Police investigation of the case, but by bureaucrats, that if you mark their names will be in line for the Next Promotions. Bet you those States Prosecutors will be promoted to highest judiciary post as soon as the issue settle down. Gloria going to pay them back and pay them handsomely…

    Psychologically speaking, if one mentions something it’s subsconsiously in his mind. What do I mean by that? Dahil binanggit ni V. Garcillano na hindi niya kailangan mandaya para manalo, ibig sabihin nasa utak niya ang pandaraya. That means he indeed helped Arroyo cheated. If one runs for Congressman in his hometowm district, the chance of winning is big especially if you have the resources. Even the most corrupt and the worst guy can win. Kaya nga si JDV hanggang Congressman lang sa Pangasinan at hindi mananalo bilang Senador at lalo na pagka-pangulo. It’s easy to win as Governor or Congressman in your territory. Mere mention of your name already scares the people. If you have the connection with the underworld, the gambling lords and even NPAs, you can win without much cheating. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit maraming Governors at Congressmen ang sila mismo ay gambling or drug lords sa kanilang lugar.

    Garci in Congress

    EDITORIAL
    12/29/2006, Tribune

    For an administration that is supposedly focusing on the economy, Gloria’s Malacañang is giving highly inordinate attention to the candidates it would be carrying under its wings in next year’s elections.

    With the huge crop of trapos it is fielding, infighting has been reported among those seeking the kiss of Gloria, that carries more than the proverbial bag of silver.

    But the strangeness of it all is that the Palace list of “senatoriables” are the very ones who have been seeking to abolish the Senate. Yet Malacañang, according to the latest reports, has on its list, more of the congressmen, such as Rep. Prospero Nograles and Rep. Prospero Pichay Jr., while former congressmen who have joined the Cabinet are also reportedly tapped to run for the Senate, among whom are Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr. and Tourism Secretary Ace Durano.

    Sang-ayon ako sa sinabi mo mandirigma.

    Talaga naman si GARCILIE. Kapag may amoy asahang mong aalingasaw ang baho. GARCILIE BUHAY KA PA NA NGANGAMOY KANANG PATAY! Sana kunin ka na ni TANING ang bait bait mo hindi ka marunong mandaya at magsinungaling.

    Salamat tikbalang. Do you know that whistleblower Zuce, the guy who testified against Garcillano, is running against Garcillano? Ewan ko lang kung kukunin ng opposition si Zuce. What I know is that Bukidnon is under the control of the Zubiri family allied with Arroyo.

  14. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    If I were there in Bukidnon now, I would start campaigning against this idiot Garcillano. Zubiri has reason to be suspicious of him, his dynasty is threatened by an equally scrupulous guy, who is a confirmed vote manipulator.

    Garci’s history of manipulation reaches as far as Lanao del Norte, where he helped another dynasty stay in power. In fact, he was from that place. There, he held close ties to the local strongman as Garci perfected the art of vote-shaving/padding (dagdag-bawas) that Pimentel coined in 2001 and now enshrined in the vocab of dirty Philippine politics. That led to Garci’s ascent to comelec, thanks to the recommendation of that strongman.

    When Garci was reported “missing,” part of the time he was under the protection of that strongman. Everybody in the area believed, and some definitely knew, that Garci later went to Singapore. Ask adults who are conscious of politics in Lanao, Cagayan de Oro and Bukidon, and you will hear the same story about this ‘hello Garci’ that became a national joke.

  16. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Neric Acosta is truly worried about this Garci. Too bad he can’t run anymore, it’s his last term in congress. His mother may be tempted to oppose Garci, as Zuce is also doing, but that might divide the opposition and lead to Garci’s victory in the polls.

    The best that the Acostas can do is support Zuce. Socorro Acosta may not have the energy to do it, having stayed in politics too long. Besides, the lingering problem of dynasty in Philippine politics may diminish her political capital.

    Guys, basta kakandidato, the first thing to announce is he’s the best, he’s unbeatable and the motto is:
    PAG TINALO, DINAYA!

    Garci’s pronouncement that he can win without cheating is understandable for somebody seeking an elective position. Any posturing of weakness is a big no no.

    Pero tama si Mandirigma, parang inamin na ni Garci na talagang kasama siya sa pangdaraya kaya ganun ang kanyang statement. Sa bibig talaga nahuhuli ang isda, pwera lang kung lambat, fishpen o paputok ang gagamiting panghuli.

    Sabi ko na sa isang sinulid, how come JDV is not being mentioned in any surveys conducted for Senators? Mayroon talagang pang-lokal lamang ang clout. At sa kaso ni JDV, its one big reason why he’s pushing for the chacha to get on top as Prime Minister. Wala siyang binatbat pag nationwide.

    But there are also those who can’t make it in the local elections but hit jackpot in the national elections. Case in point are Bong Revilla and Kiko Pangilinan.

    Bong Revilla was defeated by Maliksi for Governor of Cavite in 2001, the same time his wife Lani Mercado run and lost for Mayor of Bacoor. Bong landed second place in the 2004 Senatorial race.

    Kiko Pangilinan, elected first as Councilor, run and lost for Congressman in Quezon City kahit asawa na niya si Sharon Cunteta. But he made it to the Senate in 2001.

    Zuce vs Garci could be a very good match. It will test the resolve of the Bukidnon electorate kung dapat nilang pagkatiwalaan si Garci inspite of the the scandal he’s involved and backings by the Zubiris and GMA. And granting na manalo si Garci without cheating, they deserve it. Ibinoto nila, di ba mga ‘pre?

    vic, those paybacks to govt officials who quashed the case against Garci are sure to come, just like the sun rising from the east. And this Garci will get his reward this election thru the cheating machine of Mike A.

    Know what, Mike A. poured in millions to Zubiri’s coffer during the 2004 elections to defeat Acosta. Why Acosta still won, despite the greasing of voters and comelec? Zubiri kept most of the money, it didn’t get to the hands of poor voters who were willing to sell their souls.

    During that vote-buying frenzy, the fatso man went around distributing goodies to crooks in Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, Lanao and other places in Mindanao. He even went to the Marines Camp in Marawi City and doled out money. (He even had the gall to deny that he was ever there.) That was when he noticed Gen Gudani showing bias for FPJ, and Garci took care of him by getting him out of the area so the comelec can do its cheating game unhampered. Would you believe that FPJ got zero votes in many precincts there? Yet, local residents who voted for him were surprised, why their idol would lose to a lady whom many Iligan folks hated so much. Poe was considered a “hero” by many Muslims and Christians alike.

    Siyempre sa enkantada ng mga itim na duwende sa Malakanyang, anything can happen. Kung gusto pa nga ng garcillanong iyan na maging Cardinal siya, puwede. Pero sa totoong mundo, ano siya hilo? Mananalo siya ng fair and square? Bilib din naman ako sa tibay ng sikmura ng ungas na ito kasama na ang kaniyang sinungaling na asawang disgrace na nakinabang din sa perang pinamumudmod ng baboy sa Malakanyang…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Ay nga pala, Year of the Baboy na sa 2007. Sana malitson na ang baboy sa Malakanyang.

    Kung accurate ang quote na ito–“I would like to have soft loans for small farmers who can not be able to finance their crop production.”–hindi lang sinungaling at mandaraya, bano din pala itong si Garci. CAN NOT BE ABLE!

    It’s no surprise, kasama sa package deal Dagdag-Bawas scheme ni Virgilio Garcillano. Kaya noon vote canvassing sa kongereso puro NOTED na lang. Parang bayad utang kay Gloria.

  26. Chabeli Chabeli

    Diego K. Guerrero,
    If I remember, this Philippine bacteria, a.k.a. Garcillano, was a “friend” of Mayor Cuneta.
    A friend of mine in U.P. told me that Kiko Pangilinan was a joke in U.P. Law. He was NOT smart at all..ilan beses daw bumaksak in several Lsw classes.

  29. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Chabeli, I’ve not heard of the Cuneta-Garci connection even if I’m very much updated on Pasay politics. It may be true, however, since Garci was already a known operator back in Marcos’ Comelec which coincides with Cuneta’s heyday. One thing I’m sure though, Cuneta does not need Garci to cheat for him.

    As far as as I know, it was not Kiko that the people voted for. It was Sharon!

    Pansin nyo ba yung mga bagong nagdagsaang commercial ngayon sa TV?

    -Si Ralph Recto may commercial na gatas, siyempre, kasama si Vilma!
    -Si Kiko may noodles commercial, siyempre, kasama si Sharon!
    -Si Manny Villar, sa radyo ko pa lang naririnig yung kanyang merry christmas.
    -Si Obet Pagdanganan, yung tungkol sa Tindahan ni Gloria.
    -Si Francisco Duque, yung sa paputok naman.

    Di ko pa napapansin yung iba. Bihira ako kasi sa free channels. Ang aga namang mangampanya nitong mga ulol na ito. Halatang circumvention of the law on political ads ang ginagawa. Pag pasok kasi ng Enero, file na sila ng candidacy at bawal na ang ads. Trade Mark talaga ng mga kakampi ng unano iyan! Nagdududa tuloy ako sa sinseridad ni Villar. Malapit pa naman siya sa pamilya namin. Nakakapaghinala rin ang mga aksyon ng Wednesday Group (Villar, Pangilinan, Joker, Recto minus Kabayad Noli DC) sa Senado. Parang iisa ang diskarte ng mga ito. Pati mga stand nila sa issues mukhang iisa.

    May maiitim na balak?

  30. chi chi

    Tongue,

    Talagang hindi ko maboboto si Villar, hindi maganda ang dating sa akin ng kanyang aura, sabi mo nga ay nakakaduda ang sinseridad. Walang pag-asa sa amin ang Wednesday group. Halata ang kanilang tunay na layunin. Makikita na lang natin na kapag lumabas muli ang mga iyan ay kandarapa na naman sila sa pagtatanggol sa pundya ni Glueria. Sa ngayon ay moderate oposisyon kuno sila, pareho lang sila ni Angara para sa akin, oportunistas.

  31. mandirigma mandirigma

    The Cunetas were the lords of Pasay since the Marcos era. So, I agree there was no need for Garcillano to cheat for the late Mayor Cuneta. The Arroyo Administration is working hard over time to come up with a senatorial ticket. Ang huling balita ko pati si Edu Manzano tatakbo bilang Senador. Whatever line up the administration comes up with, it would still lose. Siguro ang makakalusot lang mga dalawa o tatlo. Over at Makati, Lapid is really serious in challenging Binay. Medyo nagkakalabuan na yata itong bobong Lapid at si Arroyo dahil tatakbo ang kumare niyang Pineda bilang Gobernadora ng Pampanga. Two evils fighting each other in Pampanga.

  32. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Hey, pwede ba, HUWAG SI ZUCE! Gagawa rin ng pera iyan, maniwala kayo. Lumang istrok na yan na kunwari lalaban sa kamag-anak, yun pala aatras lang pag botohan na at isa-substitute yung tunay na kandidato sa mga supporters niya. Gawain na iyan nung araw pa. Nino? Well, si Cuneta. Tatakbo silang mag-aama ng sabay-sabay, may dahilan ngayong mangampanya ng sabay-sabay. Pag dating ng election, bibilangin lahat ng boto para sa ama.

    Kasi nga naman, mawawalan sila ng puwesto kung ang matanda at maysakit nang si Kalbo lang ang tatakbo, paano kung mamatay bago magbotohan.

    Ginawa na rin iyan sa San Pedro, Laguna. Kumandidato si Ner Joaquin as Congressman at patok siyang mananalo. Kaso, namatay bago mag araw ng eleksiyon. E hindi nakapaghanda ng substitute candidate. Alam nyo ba’ng inilihim sa tao ang pagkamatay, siguro, postdated pa ang death certificate, alam nyo naman sa mga probinsiya. Kaya ang nakaupong Congressman ngayon yung asawang si Uliran.

    Hindi ko lang alam kung saan pinasumpa si Ner, kung sa morgue o sa sementeryo.

    Kaya pwede ba, huwag si Zuce! Member na ng ANTI-JUETENG TASK FORCE NI PALAWAN MAYOR ED HAGEDORN SI ZUCE! Bumaligtad na iyan! Bayad na siguro. Balik na sa paldang amoy malansa ni Gloria si Zuce! Huwag kayong paloloko!

    Tama ka Chi, si Angara nga pala pwede na rin isama sa mga tuta. Napanood mo ba iyong 101 Dalmatians? Yung isa walang spot, yun pala lalabas din ang spot paglipas ng araw. Iyan si Angara.

    Mandirigma, Lito Lapid is making us Filipinos look stupid. We’ve become the laughingstock of the civilized world with this dimwit sitting in the Senate. I still shrink and shrivel in shame whenever I remember that the first resolution this SENATOR was gloating over as he filed was the use of Pilipino in deliberations during the Linggo ng Wika, as it turned out, was already filed by ex-Senator Orly Mercado and approved and adopted by the Senate since then. Pahiya to the max!

    Next, he sponsored a bill that would outlaw the use of staplers in packaging food for sale. He said, again, boastfully, “Delikado na yung mga batang bumibili ng pagkain, iyun pala may stapler na kasama, kaya ako nag-payl ng bill”. Bwahaha! Ang ibig niyang sabihin, staple wire, pero malinaw sa mga interview na stapler ang binabanggit niya. (Di kaya malugi ang mga nagtitinda?)

    Subukan mong dumalo sa Senate hearing, ewan ko lang kung napakiusapan na ang ANC at ibang News Orgs dahil hindi na makita sa angle niya, may suot si Lapid na earphones! Kasi yung mga debate, itina-translate sa kanya sa radyo ng staff niya!

    Naaalala ninyo ba nung imbestigahan ng Senado si Zuce tungkol sa pagbigay sa bahay ni Gloria ng lagay sa mga taga-Comelec? Kundi pa lagi siyang sinasalo ni Villar, e di walang kinapuntahan yung pagtestify ng mga witness doon. Halatang naging tagapagtanggol pa siya ni Baby Pineda (asawa ni Bong) at inilaglag pa niya si Gloria. Sabi niya, “Sabi kayo ng sabi na inabutan kayo ng pera ni Mrs. Pineda, sigurado ba kayong sa kanya iyon? Paano kung ipinaabot lang ni Madam President?” Bwahaha uli!

    He should do us a favor by returning to local politics. Not in Makati, please naman. Isoli niya na lang yung bahay sa Magallanes Village na binili ng Pagcor para sabihing residente siya roon. Mas maganda siguro mag-gobernador na lang siya uli ng Pampanga. Doon sila magpatayan ni Gloria. Mga ung-ang! Indi na kayo naiya! Mga walang hutak!

    Bumalik na nga sa pelikula si Lito Lapid! Kasalukuyang may Manila Film Festival at kasali ang kanyang pelikula, Tatlong Baraha. Sa 10 films entered, nangunguna sa takilya ang pelikula ni Vic Sotto (first day, P21M kinita), at ang kay Lito Lapid…..last place (with P1.3M). Ang huling balita, ipu-pull out na raw sa sinehan ang pelikula dahil nilalangaw na ang takilya. Alang nanonood. Paano pa ito tatakbo ng mayor sa Makati?

    Huwag naman nating sabihing bobo ang mga tao. Masakit ang katotohanan. Sabihin nating educationally challenged, mas magandang pakinggan. Ang totoo, kasama siya ni GMA sa ticket last 2004 elections. Siempre, cabalen at gusto nyang papanalunin. Hello Garci! Yon na.

    Kaya malakas ang loob niyang tumakbo sa Makati, kahit ma-olat, may 3 years pa sa Senado. Yan ang isang dapat baguhin sa ating election law. Kapag kumandidato sa ibang position kahit may natitira pa sa termino, out na.

    tongueT & Tikboy,
    mi despensa por favor. Medyo carried away lang ako sa mga pangyayari.Hindi ako umabot sa college pero my gosh,ilalampaso ko si senator Lapid sa English and he will definitely need an interpreter to discern me.

  44. nelbar nelbar

     
    Ngayon pa lang mangyayari ang 12-0 sa election history ng pagka senador.

    Kung inyong matatandaan noong May 1987 election, si JEE at JPE lang ang nakapasok na opposisyon at 22 na iba pa ay kakampi na lahat ni Cory.

    Nakakapagtaka nga kung bakit si Bobit Sanchez na matunog noon sa mga obrero at manggagawa ay hindi nakalusot. Samantalang iyong iba ay pinalusot?

    Ito rin ang unang pagkakataon na tumakbo noon si Senador Sr. Agimat sa pangalan na Jose Bautista pero natalo.

    Nitong mga huli ko na lang nalaman na kung bakit hindi na tumakbo pa ulit sa pagka Senador si Rene V. Saguisag.

     

  45. chi chi

    Bakit nga ba hindi na tumakbo si RVS, Nelbar?

  46. mandirigma mandirigma

    Robert, nabisto ka rin ni Ms. Tordesillas. For a veteran journalist like her, she can spot someone whose color is doubtful. Kaya puwede ba sabihin mo na lang kung ano talaga ang kulay mo? I’ve been here in this group not long enough to know everyone; but so far I’m impressed with its fairness. Kaya kahit na lumitaw na ang tunay mong kulay na galing din sa sarili mong kagagawan, welcome ka pa rin dito Robert. Pagbutihin mo na lang sa susunod para hindi ka mabisto uli ni Ms. Tordesillas.

  47. dzandueta dzandueta

    So let the damn fool run. Hopefully some honest politician will beat the bastard.

    The Philippines truly never runs out of surprises.

  48. miron miron

    Nagbakasyon yata si npongco. O baka naman something else?

  49. nelbar nelbar

     

    kung agimat rin lang naman at katatawanan ang labanan sa Senado ay huwag na lang.

    Pulang Leon ang bandera ni RVS. Samantalang ang pumalit sa kanya ay si RSR para sa Senado ng 9th Congress.

    SORI ngayon ko lang nabuksan ito, mula sa itaas kasi ang bukas ko.

    Ellen Says:

    December 28th, 2006 at 8:33 pm

    Robert, your reasoning really astound me. You said,” didn’t sleep till late and early during the 2004 election canvassing in Congress. That was the senate’s finest hour.”

    Ellen, hindi ko alam sabihin kasi yung bang umpisa sa alas nueve hanggang 11:59 pm LATE NA SA AKIN YUN, pero yung 12:01 am eh maaga yun kaya … didn’t sleep till late and early. In short nagpuyat ako. I did not have the word to describe the long transition. Yung finest hour para sa akin puede isa hanggang dalawang araw yun: tulad noong siege sa San Antonio sa Fort Alamo o kaya the longest day in Bataan.

    Yet, you also say, “Mula noon inutil na para sa akin ang Senado.”

    Ellen, ang senado sa akin ay halos sagrado sa kalidad at tapang ng mga miembro, kayang banggain ANG PANGULO, maski Kano (noong palayasin sila sa clark at subic). The Senate to me was the Alamo of 2004, (wala sa eksena ang korte suprema). Kasi namulat ang isipan ko matapos ang WWII sa mga tinig ni Recto, Tanada, Primnicias, Laurel, Amang, Osmena Jr. etc. pati Presidente inilalampaso nila sa Senado. Nakalimutan ko patay na sila at kanilang principio. Na wala na ang Senado ng Filipino. Kaya ayun, umasa ako na sa dayaan may mangyayari sa senado. Gahasa ang sa TV nakita ko kaya nadismaya ako. Sa akin lang wala ng maaasahan ang mga Pinoy sa lower house, mula na mawala si Speaker Pepito na nanampal ng senador. Kaya palagay na ang loob ko inutil ng matagal ang congreso . Sa senado nabigo ako.
    ———————————

    Kunyari galit ka kina De venecia. Tapos sabihin mo,”If the lower house is the domicile of black collar criminals, the senate is the abode of white collar criminals.”

    Sa totoo lang ellen, kay de venecia at sa lahat na Pinoy ng gumahasa sa bayan ko, isang salita lang, ako ang magsu-switch sa kuryente sa silya elctrika, o mismong magtuturok ng lethal injection, magbubukas ng butas para sa bitay nila sa entablado. GALIT AKO ELLEN. Black or white collar crimes pareho sa akin pag labag sa bayan ko. Kung laban sa individual o korporasyon, iba ang damdamin ko. Hindi ako galit ellen. MUNHI-MUNHI AKO. Read that piece again ellen baka maiba na ang dating sa iyo
    ============
    Your political color is showing. Okay lang yan. I welcome all views even if they are opposed to mine. Klaruhin mo lang.

    Ellen, I have no political color nor am I a chameleon. My political views may be similar to the views of a righteous evangelist except that I have keep the commandments especially about ADULTERY, STEALING, LYING, KILLING, AND BEARING FALSE WITNESS AGAINST MY NEIGHBOR. Kaya pati mga Obispo, pari, generals, o sinu mang pontio pilato SINASAGASAAN KO.
    I run over them with my ideas, insults and vitriol. Namputsa baka nasapian ako ni Damian Sotto. Sa blog mo lang nagagawa ng bloggers ito. Kaya THANK YOU.
    ————-
    Otherwise, panloloko ang ginagawa mo.

    Ellen if that is part of the 10 commandments, I have not done that. Up to now ellen, I am studying dictionaries to at least avoid being misunderstood, BUT MEANINGS ARE IN PEOPLE, sabi sa isang seminar I attended.

    You ellen and all the other bloggers are all the same to me, you can be loyal, brilliant, or rich or poor. I look at all of you, on what you say, on whether you are or you seemed not to be FOR YOUR COUNTRY. IT IS YOUR IDEAS, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SLAUGHTER AND BURN IF THEY ARE AGAINST MY COUNTRY. IT IS DANGEROUS I KNOW BUT I STILL HAVE CONTROL OF MY FACULTIES. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE A PRICE. I HOPE TO DIE WITHOUT KNOWING IT.

    Sige magbakbakan tayo, ideas, walang personalan. Kaya ako napagkamalan walang galit kay de venecia KASI I try to follow
    Yun sabi nyo WALANG PERSONALAN. Kung ako mamababarang, o taga Haiti, manika ni de venicia, sa dami Ng karayom hindi na makikilala.

    ellen dami na kasing intervening postings, puede bang eh-replay natin ang sinabi ko:

    Robert V. Maich Says:

    December 28th, 2006 at 8:10 pm

    I didn’t sleep till late and early during the 2004 election canvassing in Congress. That was the senate’s finest hour. I was waiting for the senators to give their bad team mates hell with fists and chairs. Hinihintay kong buntalin ng grupo ni Pimentel sina de venecia, pangilinan, gonzalez, flavier etc. walang nangyari. they are too much of blue blood gentlemen to lift a finger while their country is being raped by their kind. Nagpalakpakan pa matapos ang rape.
    Mula noon inutil na para sa akin ang Senado. I am being kind to these Christians who were meek and willing accomplices and accessories to the rape of their country.

    The senate is the ultimate mirror image of our people. The senators should admit they are only as good as the people who allow them to be there. Unlike the Tongressmen, the senators could be the most experts wolves in sheep’s clothing.

    If the lower house is the domicile of black collar criminals, the senate is the abode of white collar criminals. As time goes by as the song goes, the distinction vanishes, white and black crimes become the common traits of both houses. I am not surprise that a unicameral body, the constitutional fusion of the hotbed of souless criminals Iis in the offing.
    Hindi ba mas makabubuti sa atin ang unicameral Congress or Parliament kaysa Martial Law.

    Tingnan natin kung ang ating mga abogado at mga militante kasing gentlemen ng mga senador. Handa na ba silang lumaban sa Korte para matuloy (ulitin) matuloy ang election. Yun lang ang magagawa nila. Cancelado na kay Gloria ang election. Papel at bunganga na lang ang laban sa Korte. si General Mike Defensor kunyari kakandidato.

    WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FILIPINOS IN THE YEAR OF THE MIKE?

    HAPPY? NEW YEAR TO ALL.

  52. Robert V. Maich Robert V. Maich

    oy dagdag (YUNG DAGDAG, YUNG DAGDAG) na SIPA pa sa mga makasarili (para sa sarili lamang, kanta sa simbahan):

    If the lower house is the domicile of black collar criminals, the senate is the abode of white collar criminals (MAS PINO GUMAWA NG KWARTA SA SENADO, O KAYA MAGPALIWANANG NG BOLA SA BAYAN). PERO KUNG PAGIGING PINO TALO, ULITULITIN TALO ANG BUONG CONGRESO NG KORTE SURPREMA) As time goes by as the song goes, the distinction vanishes, white and black crimes become the common traits of both houses. I am not surprise that a unicameral body, the constitutional fusion of the hotbed of souless criminals Iis in the offing. DI BA HINDI KATAKA TAKA?

    Hindi ba mas makabubuti sa atin ang unicameral Congress or Parliament kaysa Martial Law. KUNG NAKUHA NINYO TILA MAY HALONG TUYA ANG SENTENCE NA YAN.

  53. mandirigma mandirigma

    Maganda ang mga sagot mo at paliwanag, Kabayang Robert. Lalo ako sang-ayon sa sinabi mong labanan ito ng mga ideas at walang personalan. But you need not be so defensive. Your recent comments carried some contradictions which compelled Ms. Tordesillas to respond to them. Walang masama na may hinahangaan o kinakampihan tayong mga pulitiko kahit na ba sa panig ni Arroyo ang mga ito. There are good and bad eggs in the administration as there are in the opposition. Sadyang controversial lang itong si JDV na halos lahat na yata galit dito.

  54. chi chi

    Matapos pawalang-sala ni SiRaulo G si Garci, heto at bibigyan naman daw ng police security at moral support ang bakteriang Garci, ayon kay Ermita dahil daw sa banta ng mga NPA sa buhay nito.

    Sinabihan ni SiRaulo G ang mga kritiko na idala na lang daw sa kangaroo court ang kaso ni Garci kung may reklamo ang madlang pipol, ng kasahan ng NPA ay sambot naman ang Ermita sa kumpas ni Glueria. Hindi matapos-tapos ang script nila na pinagbibidahan ni Garci. Mabuti yan na pagalitin pa nila ang mga mamamayan, masyado nilang ina-understimate ang kawalang-kibo ng nakakarami. Tingnan natin kung paano tuluyang bumwelta ang mga tahimik!

  55. mandirigma mandirigma

    What? Si Gonzalez ang nagsabi na ibigay na lang si Garcillano sa Kangaroo Court ng NPA tapos palalabasin na may tangka sa kanya ang NPA? What did Ermita mean by police security for Garcillano? Garci also has security since he went into hiding. Si Eldane pa mismo ang kanyang security. The year is about to end pero ginagawa pa din tayong mga tanga ng Malacanang.

  56. chi chi

    E di bibigyan siya ng pisikal na pulis seguridad just like what they provided him throughout the Hello Garci scandal. I think that Garci still enjoys burly bodyguards courtesy of Mike Pidal. Pababayaan ba ‘yan, e kung kumanta, kaya Garci is tanda sa layaw. Hmmpppp!

  57. mandirigma mandirigma

    May observation lang ako ngayon sa Communist movement, medyo low profile. They are not as active as they used to. Medyo tahimik din ang kanilang NPA Hit Squad. I’m asking this in relation to Garcillano’s challenge to the NPA. If the NPA really wants to eliminate him, it can be done anytime. Siguro nga, nahihirapan ang NPA dahil isang tambak na security ang nakapaligid sa kanya. But who pays for this?

  58. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    mandirigma, actually, it was Lacson whom Sir Raul O. Gonzales was addressing when he said that those who do not agree with the DOJ’s decision may take the case to the NPA’s kangaroo courts. Napaka-aroganteng statement naman nitong ngiwing ulyanin na may isang bulateng illiterate. Isang bulateng hindi makapirma kaya hindi pa mamatay-matay itong demonyong ito.

    chi, mandirigma, I posted last year in PCIJ’s blog the name of the guy in black jacket who appears to be supervising Garci’s security detail in the videos showing him alighting from a speedboat guarded by several men brandishing AK47 rifles and armalites. I cannot scan my old files but I have information that this man is jueteng lord Bong Pineda’s top security aide. Now you see who the police is working with to protect characters like Garci…and Gloria!

    Tongue,

    So, there’s truth to what some residents of my province were saying about this top security aide of Bong Pineda. Magkalapit probinsya, e di nagkakaalaman ng katotohanan.

    Someone just told me that the NPA is now divided into the real ones and bayarang bodyguards ng mga mayors. Huh, NPA is co-existing with the police and private securities of local officials? Don’t know how true, but it’s disturbing.

  61. artsee artsee

    Kaya pala mukhang taga-bukid itong si Garci kasi taga Bukidnon pala. NPA? Kasangga iyan ng NPC ni Danding Cojuanco. Iba na ang NPA ngayon. Ang tawag sa kanila National People’s Arroyo.

  62. apoy apoy

    matagal ng nabuwag ang mga NPA.When the ideology of communism died,the NPA died with it.Bukambibig lang yan ng mga politicos ngayon.. Everytime there is violence,the NPA gets the blame..NPA nowadays is just a syntax of political cover up..Moreso, some scrupulous bandits made it an extortion business under the guise of the NPA..Matagal nang nangyayari ito and the NPA are just the scapegoats and victims of political lies. Take it from me, wala ng NPA ngayon.

  63. chi chi

    NPA therefore is the most comfortable scapegoat of this bogus presidency. So, totoo rin na ang karamihan sa kanila found jobs as bodyguards of local officials. Kaya pala hindi ma-hit si Garci, naga-disapir na sila!

  64. apoy apoy

    chi,
    tama ka..Sa katunayan,delikado nga yang si Garci..Di nya alam kung sino at kailan sya itutumba ni Gloria…When that happens, NPA will be on the headlines..

  65. joeseg joeseg

    Goog morning everyone. Ilang tulog na lang at 2007 na!

    Artse, tama ka, bukid noon ang bukidnon, pero ngayon hindi na. Dahil kay Garci.

    At Apoy, matagal na talagang walang NPA, ang marami ngayon, No Permanent Address.

    Pero Robert, I don’t want to accept na tayo ay kawawang Pinoy, kawawang bansa. With due respect to those said it.

    Kung tayo ay nandito sa Pilipinas, hindi ganun ang dapat pananampalataya sa kakayanan ng mga Pilipino. Kapag sinabi nating kawawang Pilipino, kawawang bansa, para na ring sinabing pwera tayo dahil iba tayo. Kung tayo ay nandito sa ating bansa, hindi ganun ang pananalita. Dapat ay sabihin nating Pilipino ako, kahit anong mangyari sa ating bansa, sa Pilipinas pa rin tayo.

    Ang mga mahihirap, mga magbubukid, mga squatters, patuloy silang namumuhay kahit isang kahig isang tuka. Kapag nakita natin ang kanilang pagsusumikap na mabuhay, sasabihin ba nating mga kawawang Pinoy sila sa isang kawawang bansa? Ang nakakabigkas lang noon ay yong mga nasa ibang bansa sapagkat iba na ang kanilang pananaw sa kalagayan ng mga Pilipino, sa aminin natin at sa hindi. Sapagkat ang nagiging basehan lamang ay ang political at economic situation na nababasa sa pahayagan at napapanood sa telebisyon. Sapagkat kung nandito tayo at kasalimuha ang mga mahihirap, iba ang ating pakiramdam. Hahangaan natin ang nagtitinda sa bangketa, sa kalsada, kargador, basurero sapagkat sa barya-baryang kinikita sa sariling pawis ay pagsisikap na mabuhay na marangal. Mayroong masasamang elemento pero it’s a worldwide phenomenon. Hindi monopoliya ang mga kriminal at masasamang lider na nagpapatakbo ng pamahalaan.

    Ang hangaan natin ay patuloy pa rin ang pagasa ng bawat Pilipino na makakaahon sa kahirapan. Tuwing dadarating ang isang bagong taon, umaasa ang balana na magiging mabuti ang kanilang buhay. Kung hindi mangyari sa taong darating, may isa pa, katulad ng isang awit, Pagdating ng Panahon. Yan ang tunay na Pilipino, hindi nawawalan ng pagasa. Ang tunay na Pilipino, hindi iisiping kawawa siya, hindi niya iisiping kawawa ang kanyang bayan.

    Amen, joeseg.

    Further, on the latest SWS survey that said 90% are looking forward to a better year in 2007, it’s logical that that’s the sentiment of today. 2007 is an election year and we all know that it’s time we threw Gloria out of the pigpen. Majority of Pinoys hate her, majority are poor, more are hungry, overwhelming number of voters don’t trust her. In 2007, we will elect congressmen who wil promise to impeach Gloria.

    Yun lang yun. Nothing could be better than getting these rascals kicked in their groins.

  67. joeseg joeseg

    TonGuE-tWisTeD, tumbok mo ang ibig kong sabihin na hindi nawawalan ng pagasa tayong mga Pilipino. Mantak mo, 90% looking forward for a better year in 2007 because they are thinking that their voice will be heard in the coming elections. Subukan lang nila na hindi ituloy ang eleksiyon, I could imagine a great uprising at doon natin makikita kung sino at ano ang tunay na Pilipino.

    May payo lang ako sa inyo mga kapatid. Huwag kayo basta-basta maniniwala sa mga balita ngayon. Don’t immediately believe about who is running for what. Pakulo lang iyan ng mga political strategists. Halimbawang ito na lang si Senator Lacson. Now, he’s saying he might not continue his plan to run for mayor in Manila and would just seek re-election in the Senate. Parang larong baraha o poker iyan. Gustong malaman ng mga pulitiko kung sinu-sino ang tatakbo.

  69. Chabeli Chabeli

    That’s good analysis, Mandirigma. I didn’t consider that we should NOT “…immediately believe about who is running for what.” It’s more like Gloria & the Glorialets are drawing out the opposition and entrapping them into revealing who is running-that’s why Malcañan is announcing KUNO who is running in their camp; most probably it’s part of Gloria’s strategy, after all according to today’s issue of the Phillipine Daily Inquirer, Gloria is the campaign manager of her team. She just needs bullets to demolish the possible candidates of the opposition. I wonder if it has occured to her team that Gloria is THE BIGGEST LIABILITY in their team?

  70. Chabeli Chabeli

    Mandirigma, good analysis ! I didn’t consider that we should NOT “…immediately believe about who is running for what.”

    Come to think of it, it’s more like Gloria & the Glorialets are drawing out the opposition and entrapping them into revealing who is running-that’s why Malacañan is announcing KUNO who is running in their camp; most probably it’s part of Gloria’s ploy, after all according to today’s issue of the Phillipine Daily Inquirer, Gloria is the campaign manager of her team.

    I wonder if it has occured to her team that GLORIA IS THEIR BIGGEST LIABILITY ?

    Ellen with your kindness may I finally say:

    Noong bata ako, mahilig akong pumunta sa Ascarraga. Daming kasing murang lumang pocketbook. Minsan daming Mickey Spillane swerte pag may Steinbeck, Hemingway at Ward Bond. Pag uwi daan sa Globe arcade sa Raon. Hulog ng diyes makakapanood na ng bombang sumasayaw. Yung jackpot (pinball ngayon) palaging tilt. Sayang ang diyes doon na lang sa may sumasayaw. Basa dito basa diyan (kahit walang pambili, browse lang sa Erehwon) kasama na ang das capital, nang tumagal pati na si Spinoza at Kierkegaard kahit hindi maintindihan.

    Kahapon, Yesterday sa library meron akong nahawakan Sophie’s World (ni Jostein Gaarder). Matagal ko ng nabasa ito, nilasahan, na-cogitate, nalaman tila summary ito ng mga nabasa ko noong ang hang out ay sa luma at maruming libro sa naging Recto, unibersidad ng mahihirap, tindahan diploma at pekeng dokumento. Sa pahina 130 -132 nalaman ko, ako pala’y born yesterday at ang pagkatao nauna pa kay kristo. Kaya pala si Misis, a long time ago, minsan ng umuwi ako, galit sinabi, Pambihira ka naman papano mo nalimutan ang sweldo mo?

    Dahil kay Sophie, sumindi, nagliwanag ang bombilya ng kokote ko.
    Mantak mong bintangan ako ng brigada mo, bayaran ako, suhol at lagay sa akin galing sa hueteng. Sa page ni Sophie nakatago ang
    Uri ng pagkatao ko. Gusto ninyo tignan ninyo.

    Ellen huwag na lang padalhan ako ng email, sa yahoo din ipabubura ko ang email ko. Mas gusto kong sabihin sa brigada mo yun sinabi noong patay ng professor sa estorya ko. Pero hindi yata lapat.

    Ang isang puna ko sa opposition ay madaldal sila. They open their cards early. They already have an unofficial list of candidates while the other side has none. In a sport competition like basketball, you don’t bring out your first five or first team before the opponent does. Ang gagawin ng kalaban pipili sila ng katapat ng bawat player. For instance, ang nasa isip ngayon ng Malacanang ay maglagay sa ticket nila ng mga kandidatong artista o celebrity. Isa na diyan si Edu Manzano.

  75. mandirigma mandirigma

    And do you know why Garcillano wants to run for Congress? He wants to be like Iggy Arroyo. Iggy admitted he was Jose Pidal. Now that he’s a Congressman, is the case or complaint being pursued? Ganyan din ang mangyayari kay Garcillano kung maging Congressman siya. It’s for protection.

  76. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    mandirigma, kahit sino pa ang ipalutang ng Lakas/Kampi na kandidato nila, the votes will go the same way – depending on whether the voters have matured since 2004. Or whether the cheating machinery is still in place. Otherwise, Gloria’s camp would simply be wooing old pals Pangilinan, Villar, Recto, Flavier, Magsaysay, (The VOT FOR D’ CHAMMP Team) who would likely make good in their re-election bid. Sino ba ang pambato nila? Si BF? Si Mike Defensor? Sino pa?

    Worse case, pauulanan lang ng pera nina Bong Pineda, Lucio Co, Chavit Singson, Danding Cojuangco, Ephraim Genuino, ang mga gutom na botante at biglang nakalimutan na ang lahat ng kasalanan at eskandalo. Haay.

  77. “Garcillano: I can win without cheating”

    Oh, yeah? But who is he kidding? May naniniwala pa ba sa ungas na ito? ‘Pag nanalo pa ito, bilib na ako sa katangahan ng mga kaprobinsiya ng ungas na ito! By then, hopefully, tanggal na si Great Switik!

    A lot of things can happen between now and May 2007, for and against the Great Switik and the powers behind her! US help? I doubt, for I don’t suppose the US government would like to ruin further its bad reputation on this horny soldier who does not make Americans proud regardless of whether or not he serves US vested interests in the Philippines and dealings with half-baked Americans who are natives of the Philippines. Pwe!

    Filipinos should be reminded that the Great Switik is not the Philippines, and that the Philippines is for the Filipinos not by, of and for some horny bogus president who wants to make an impression on some horny US soldier, who thinks he can lord it over the Filipinos just because they allow a fraud to lead them and call herself as their president.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! SOBRA NA, TAMA NA!

  78. Tongue T:

    Sinabi mo pa. Kahit nga iyong mga OFW, I doubt if they have matured. Before I thought they would make a good catalyst to the madness in the Philippines, pero wala rin sinabi. Worse is the Great Switik is winning votes by the dining and wining of OFWs at posh restaurants paid with money from the treasury and/or OWWA funds that are supposed to be used to help them when they are in need.

    Ang tindi–ng katangahan ba?

  79. mandirigma mandirigma

    I can’t blame those who still doubt our electoral process and the outcome of the election. In the end, part of the blame is on the people or voters themselves. Ang nakakalungkot lang, hindi na sila kailangang lagyan (bribe) dahil sila mismo ang unang humihingi. I can say our voters have not only yet matured, they have gone backward.

  80. Mrivera Mrivera
