Pamaypay protest

Last Tuesday, the Concerned Citizens Group and Kontra Daya held an innovative silent protest while watching the canvassing of the senatorial votes at the PICC. They wanted to convey the message to Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos and his fellow commissioners that the citizenry would not allow another thwarting of their will.

Since silence and decorum are required from the audience during the canvassing, how does one stage a protest?

The group led by Josie Lichauco, former transportation and communications secretary; Harry Roque of the UP College of Law, and Fr. Joe Dizon arrived at the PICC at past 9:30 a.m. They had in their bags homemade cardboard fans with the face of “Hello Garci” on one side and “Election Terrorists” (Gloria Arroyo, Benjamin Abalos, and Virgilio Garcillano) on the other side.

At the agreed time, 10:30 a.m., while Atty. Leila de Lima, lawyer of GO senatorial candidate Alan Cayetano,was questioning the discrepancies in the Davao del Sur certificates of Canvass, they brought out their pamaypay and started fanning themselves.

Members of media took notice and started taking pictures as the protestors profusely and nonchalantly waved their “Hello Garci” and “Election Terrorists” pamaypays

The Comelec guards came and told them that “placards are prohibited” inside the canvassing area. “What placard?” social scientist Triccie Sison innocently asked the guards as she continued fanning herself.

“Mainit!,” Bebu Bulchen complained as she continued to wave her Hello Garci fan in the airconditioned hall.

Comelec security didn’t know what to do with the prim and proper guests.

I don’t know if the building management was responding to the complaints of the group about “the heat” but I noticed the room temperature became colder; I had to put on my jacket. But the “protestors” continued fanning themselves.

When Abalos annnounced the adjournment of the day’s canvassing, the group marched out, still fanning themselves, as TV cameras followed them.

Neat!

    Galing! Sana maantig man lang ang kanilang puso. Pero kung talagang bato na ang kanilang konsyensya, balewala na naman ang mga ganitong protesta.

  2. Tiago Tiago

    Very innovative. Great idea. I was thinking of what else can we do to silently protest since Dinky Soliman’s T-shit episode at the baywalk.

  3. I like this idea of the pamaypay. Good! And I’m proud of Harry Roque for being one of the warriors on behalf of the millions of Filipinos already up to their necks with this unano.

    Apparently, she is now having difficulty pimping Filipinos overseas. In Japan, she brought this Egcel Lagman, who has bragged about human trafficking being the Philippines’ No. 1 Industry hoping that he would be her spokesperson in trying to sell the pseudo-entertainers again to Japan. “Flat No!” was the response, pero hindi papatalo ang ungas. Ang sabi daw, “There are fewer OFWs now but it is OK, because remittances have doubled.” She failed to tell the Filipinos here though that the remittances doubled because the remittances of Filipinos were sending before could no longer suffice because of the hocus-pocus depreciation of the dollar against the peso even when in fact the Philippines export cannot much its imports, and the unano depends only on the OFW to bouy up Philippine economy.

    Iyan ang tarantado! Anyway, to those ladies in the rally, Mabuhay Kayo! Kasama ninyo kami!

  4. Ellen,

    Fantastic! Great way to protest. Love it – just love it.

    Heheh! Election terrorists indeed!

  5. Ingat si Unano. Galit na ang mga pilipino! Tuloy-tuloy nang sipain ang mga ungas. Namfrel is packing up its units on June 2. Good! The votes in those areas where the Unano’s cheating operators have faked the ballots should now be declared null and void. Walang eleksyon doon because they do not deserve it. Kailangang matoto na rin ang mga tao doon na lumaban.

    Anong sabi ng isang tuta ni Unano–ipa-void daw ang boto ng mga tao sa Manila kasi alam nilang talo ang mga TUta sa Manila. Masaya siya! Hindi niya kakilala ang mga taga-Manila. Evardone ba iyon? Gago siya! Baka matulak siya sa imburnal!

    Sipain na si Abaloslos! Enough is enough! Tama na,sobra na! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  6. BTW Anna, pumuti daw bigla ang ipin ni Pandak. Nabasa yata ang posting mo dito. Nagpaganda daw ng husto kasi makikita ni Takei at ire-report sa iyo! 😛 Nagpapayat daw, biglang nawala ang mga bugs sa mata at kulaba sa baba at leeg.

    Sino kayang may gawa? Baka home service pa ang ungas ng isang plastic surgeon dito. Alam naman ninyo sikat ang Japan sa pagpapaganda. Kahit pangit nagagawang maging kamukha ni Elizabeth Taylor! Kaya siguro dito muna pumunta!

  7. Yuko, Talaga, pumuti ang ngipin! Hahahah! Sigurado, may nagsabi sa kanya na nagbabasa dito kay Ellen’s blog na pinagtatawanan ang yellow teeth niya. Sigurado naman tayo (di ba?) na ang mga galamay ni Gloria nagbabasa ng blog ni Ellen.

    At least, something good came out of that particular post.

    Now if only she would scram and get lost, concede that she’s no longer wanted and back off for all eternity – then that would be just GRAND!

  8. mlm18_corpuz mlm18_corpuz

    hanga ako sa ginawa nina fr.dizon josie lichauco et al. kasama niyo kami sa ginawa niyo dapat lang na ganon ang mangyari kina abalos kasi sobra tapang ng apog gusto yata niyang ilaglag sina pimentel at trillanes kaya bantayang mabuti ang mga boto natin

  9. Anna: At least, something good came out of that particular post.
    ******

    Yup, good para sa kaniya, pero butas na naman ang kaban ng bayan! Charged sa mga pilipino ang pagpapaganda ng ungas, you see. Representation fees niyan ang laki na akala mo talagang may right siyang lustayin ang pera ng bayan, etc.

    Tanong, hanggang kailan magsasawa ang mga pilipino na ginugunggong nito at ng mga “boyfriends” niya?!!!

    Siguro nagpahanap ng whitening toothpaste na binanggit ni Chi!

  10. Makakahabol pa ba ang Pichay, Zucchini, etc. I doubt. Ngayon pang handang magpaypay ang mga matrona sa PICC hangga’t gusto ni Abaloslos, etal na mandaya para doon sa amo nilang kriminal! Puede ba mag-concede na lang sila! Matanim na lang sila ng kamote!

  11. Pichay, no. 16, said he is not going to concede even if no. 15 defensor had already thrown the towel. Hope strings eternal for him.

    Hayaan mo siya, hindi naman bawal ang mangarap. Lalo pa nagkagastos na siya ang P200 million just for TV ads.

  12. BOB BOB

    Kaya ayaw mag-concede ng bobong si Pechay…kasi di pa pumapasok sa boto niya iyong mga Binili niyang boto ! as simple as that !….marami pa siyang pambili, si ‘tol naman may pambili pa pero naniguro na…sinubi na niya para may matira…..!!!!

  13. Did he say that, Ellen? Unbelievable talaga ang kapal ng mukha ng ungas na ito! Yuck!

    I thought something was really wrong with this guy when he escorted Mike Jimenez to the US and pretended to be his friend. Best friend pa nga ang sabi! I thought he was accompanying this other weirdo to defend him, but iyon pala para ipagkanulo lalo. Tanong nga noon was “What was the real deal?” I wondered how much he received then from Uncle Sam for I doubt that he did it for free!!!

    My suspicion that this guy was a weirdo was confirmed when he said that he was running as Senator to bring the Senate down. in fact abolish it as in “mawala”! I thought that was the craziest thing an idiot could say. And now he says he will not concede, and wants very badly to be in? This guy must be really sick! Or is he really that over-confident that he thinks Filipinos are too sick in the head like him to want him to stay to continue licking someone’s smelly ass? Of course, for a fee!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! And please do not forget to include this guy Pichay among those to be barred from Philippine politics forever!!!

  14. rose rose

    FAN-TASTIC! Kahit anong plastic surgery ang gagawin- and with due justice to Elizabeth Taylor malayo siya-ang puso niya at kaluluwa ay maitim pa sa kaitiman. At kay Pichay- naman dito sa NY ang lottery- it only takes a dollar and a dream. Grabe naman ang pangarap mo- billion. May your dream turn to be a nightmare. MAINIT NA MASIADO ANG BILANGIN- PAYPAY-PAYPAY- PAMAYPAY NG MANILA.

  15. OK, so let them cheat, and all suffer the consequences!!! Pakimura nga!

  16. Sa palagay ko kaya nagsasabi si Pichay na kailangan niyang manalo kasi hindi niya mababawi ang inabuno niya dahil baka ang sabi ni unano, no vote no pay! At saka, nag-concede na si Binggot kasi siguro sabi ng Tita niya wala silang nakolekta sa mga hapon para ipangsulsol sa mga katulad niya. In short, iyong pangakong milyon-milyon na piso ay bokya, kahit singko sentimos, wala!!! Walang pambayad si unano unless mag-withdraw siya doon sa mga tinakas nila sa ibang bansa na hinahabol ni Cayetano at palusot niya ngayon ang “NO WIN NO PAY!”

    Kaso na-realize siguro ni Binggot na hindi makakabayad si unano dahil puro laway at pangako lang ang mga kausap niya, kaya ayaw na niyang mag-abono pa ng marami at baka maubos pa ang mga nakurakot na niya. Kaya nag-concede na siya!

    Just trying to piece the reports, etc. together on what has prompted this kurakot to concede now that I surely do not find to be an act of conscience nor desperation.

    I’m trying not to say any expletive. Puede ba dura na lang?

  17. Ellen:

    I just read your article on the death threat to Atty. Roque and the news on the threat to Namfrel’s Bernal. Ang tindi talaga ng mga dugong-aso ano? Golly, medieval pa rin ang utak! Kailan ba mahuhuli ang mga assassin na iyan? Oo nga pala, hindi iyan mahuhuli kasi ba dahil iyong huhulihin mismo ang dapat na manghuli! Incredible! Yup, incredible sa mga kahayupan!!!

    Iyong tumawag kay Roque, bisaya! Taga Negros ba?

  18. skip skip

    Ellen,

    Like Vladimir and Estragon, this talking ape Pichay is waiting for Godot who will never come. Hintay ng hintay sa kanyang boto itong kawawang tsonggo na ito.

    Pichay, maybe it hasn’t sunk yet into your thick simian skull so Imma give it to you in plain English — NO, the Filipino people DO NOT WANT YOU, and in fact, have rejected you in the most humiliating way possible.

    Heck, someone who is in jail and has spent less than 1% of the money you have flushed down the toilet has beaten you handily. Didn’t that even give you a pause?

    Spoiling our summer with your annoying TV spots is bad enough, but now you’ve also angered Chinese Cabbage growers all over the Philippines for making their crop forever synonymous with your disgraceful name.

    Thanks to you, I can never enjoy bulalo ever again for the reason that, by golly, I am now forever doomed to see your ugly mug swimming in the broth.

    Kaka-walang gana.

    I know that honor and good sense are scarce commodites in this administration but if you have even a modicum of these, you’d see that the time to beat a hasty retreat is now.

    TALO KA NA. TALO NA KAYO. GETS?

  19. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Ang alam ko, Ellen, “hope springs eternal in the human breast“. I don’t know if it’s the same in the vegetable stalk.

    Hina-hunting na niya ngayon si Defensor, akalain ba niyang i-concede sila ni Bingot. Buti nga!

  20. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    Kamote si COMELEC Commissioner Cheat Benjamin Abalos itong halalan ng May 14, 2007 dahil sa tindi ng pagbabantay ng mga taong-bayan at iba’t ibang grupo ng election watchdogs.
    Hindi siya talaga makamani-obra sa pagbabago ng resulta ng mga boto ng taong-bayan.

    Mabuhay kayo – Atty. Harry Roque, Fr. Joe Dizon, Renato Constantino at Josie Lichauco.

  21. Sarap talaga ng Pechay, not Pichay! It was my favorite vegetable, The nearest to it that I can get here is what we call as “Chingenna” that I know the Thais love to eat. Iyong kangkong mahal. It is available here only in summer.

  22. noypisausa noypisausa

    Ellen
    Heard that Pichay got busted because the defense department where he was former undersecretary did not support him. Neither did the AFP. It appears that he made the DND and AFP as milking cows. Do you have any idea on this?
    BTW, congratulations to Grace Padaca for having been reelected as governor of Isabela.

  23. xanadu xanadu

    Oh my gulay, umaasa pa ang lantang pechay na ihalo sa kare-kare? Karima-rimarim naman! Di pa pinulot na lang yan sa kangkungan? Marumi na yan.

    Maliwanag na ang lahat. Sa Mindanao ginagawa ang pandaraya. Sinasamantala ng mga cheating operators at kahirapan ng mga tao doon sa pamamagitan ng salapi at salapi rin ang dahilan upang makipagsabwatan ang militar at Comelec officials. Walang duda dahil naibulgar na ito ng Hello Garci! Noong 2004, matapos malaman na panalo ni FPJ sa pamamagitan ng malaking kalamangan sa Luzon votes, saka lamang pinaandar ang cheating operations! Nitong 2007, umasa sila sa command votes kaya kumpyansa sa 12-0 para sa TU. Ang naging sistema, naging proactive, bago dumating ang eleksiyon, ayos na ang buto-buto kaya walang eleksiyong nangyari sa maraminglugar. Doon naman sa nagkaroon, sa ilalim ng sagingan ginawa, mga bata at mga kuting ang nag-thumbmarks. Para mas sigurado dahil malaki ang premyo, binanatan pa hanggang ERs at COCs. Magkakasakit talaga (kunyari) si Sarmiento sa ganitong eksena. Hindi kaya dahil nabuking siya na may kinalaman? Tanong lang po.

  24. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Meron pa palang natirang Pichay sa Batasan. Yung pumalit dun sa pinitas sa kangkungan ng 1st District ng Surigao Del Sur e isang Philip Pichay pala.
    ——
    Nakakapanghinayang si Gilbert Remulla, bakit di pa yung baliktaring kuya niyang si Boying Remulla ng District 3 ang natalo, haay.
    ——
    Nakasurvive pala si Ompong Plaza sa Agusan Del Sur. Akala ko talo ang mga Plaza, pati nanay nila. Buti na lang lumusot si Ompong.
    ——
    Si Digs Dilangalen pala ang nanalo sa pinakabagong probinsiyang Shariff Kabunsuan. May botohan ba doon?
    ——
    Si Pax Mangudadatu ng “Hello Garci” fame, nanalo rin sa Sultan Kudarat. Iyan, sigurado akong walang botohanng nangyari!
    ——
    Congressman na pala ngayon ang asawa ni Dawn Zulueta, yung pamangkin ni Tonyboy Floreindo na si Anton Lagdameo.
    ——
    Habang nasa showbiz ang usapan, balik-Kongreso rin pala yung asawa ni Assunta De Rossi, si Niño Muhlach! Mali, si Jules Ledesma pala.

    Pamaypay protest, bagong anyo ng babala kay Gloria!

    Credit it to the creativity of the Filipinos. It always came to fore when we are reeling from some kind of inconvenience like the despicable act of cheating going on.
    I hope somebody will compose a jingle or a song for this.

    Expect Malacanang to issue an EO to prohibit using pamaypay and other protest paraphernalia inside any establishment. Which means, bodily search, all kinds of security check as if you’re in the airport cathing your flight.

  26. xanadu xanadu

    Kapag may pechay na kandidato, natural lamang na sa ilalim ng punong saging bibilangin ang boto.

  27. xanadu xanadu

    Mga dapat malaman kung bakit tahimik ang halalan,

    1. Kapag walang botohang naganap.
    2. Kapag pusa ang nag thumbmark, walang ingay.
    3. Nakapag nakaumang ang dulo ng baril sa mga bumubuto, tameme sila.
    4. Kapag menor de edad ang bumoto, tahimik dahil kumakain ng ice cream.
    5. Kapag bayad na ang mga botante. Quiet lang, baka mabuking kasi.

  28. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Speaking of pamaypay, nakatanggap ba kayo ng giveaway pamaypay ni Pichay? Korte siyang mga pinagbungkos na mga pechay tapos may nakalagay sa harap na “I’m a Pichay fan”. Sa likod naman, may nakalagay na “PICHAY Recipe para sa PROSPOEROng Buhay”.

    Talagang ginastusan ng husto ni Pichay ang eleksiyon. Ayun, talo pa rin!

    Sabi nga ni Alecks Pabico ng PCIJ: “…Filipino voters have apparently wised up, and now look for
    substance in the people they will vote into office.”

    Palagay ko ang nakita lang na “substance” kay Pichay ay …chlorophyll.

  29. Re Xanadu’s:” Expect Malacanang to issue an EO to prohibit using pamaypay and other protest paraphernalia inside any establishment. Which means, bodily search, all kinds of security check as if you’re in the airport cathing your flight.”

    You bet! The next day the guards searched all incoming bags for pamaypays and other protest materials.

    Comelec sacks 3 poll operators in hiding

    Garci’s Bedol, Radam, Martirizar placed on watchlist

    2007/06/01

    The Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioners yesterday finally showed some spunk as they placed Lanao provincial chairman, Lintang Bedol on a watchlist, along with two other sacked provincial election supervisors from Mindanao, Lilian Radam, and Yogie Martirizar, three of whom are believed to be in hiding and planning to flee the country after having been linked to the massive poll fraud in Maguindanao, South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat. – Tribune
    ____________________________________________________________

    They are sacked for failing to deliver more votes for TU in a “clean and convincing” manner, kaya napahiya ang nagkunwaring malinis din na si Sarmiento. Lugi TU.

    Sorry na lang, Comelec Cheatman Abaloser!

    Congratulations, Ricky Carandang. Mabuhay ka!

  31. Noypisusa, Pichay was never undersecretary of defense. He was chairman of the defense committee in the House of Representatives.

    Yes, the AFP, even if they are silent, know who’s the crook and the hero. It’s believable that the soldiers thrashed him. They went for Trillanes overwhelmingly. Also Lacson and Honasan.

  32. rose rose

    Nabasa ko kanina sa ABS-CBN na ang sabi ni Pichay magpaparty daw siya kung umabot ang kanyang votes sa 10 million kasi first time daw niya sumali sa national elections at nakaabot daw siya ng ganoong kadami bumoto sa kanya. Ang 1,000,000 ay naging 10,000,000? Honest mistake yon at typo. That’s how accountants easily spot mistakes- difference divisible by 9; divisible by 1 (sa addition ang pagkakamali) o round numbers kaya ng 77,000, 100,000 etc. I wonder what he thinks of those who voted for Trillanes- nakakulong siya, at binusalan pa.

  33. Ellen,

    Pichay is horribly corrupt. He would go out of his way and meet defence proponents in their hotels with his alalays to make sure he has a cut when a deal is done!

    That guy is a first rate bastard.

  34. parasabayan parasabayan

    Very clever and stylish idea indeed! Hurray for all those who had taken their time to witness a history in the making!
    We better take advantage of the window of opportunity of free protest. When the anti-terror bill kicks in July, who knows what the tiyanak and her bodyguards will do. Maybe a mere possession of a fan will send someone to jail. The tiyanak is geared for this, putting all her opponents in prison!

    Abalaos is finally saying that the riggers in Maguindanao are being tracked and sacked. The way I see it, the evidences are just so glaring and the watch dogs are just too many and effective that their cheating ways can simply not go through. For all we know, these election riggers are in safe houses provided by no other than the tiyanak and her cheating election officers! Let us see what the Abalaos is going to do next. I wonder why this comic Abalaos is still not declaring the Maguindanao elections as a failed exercise! Just taking his sweet time to make a hairpin turn and make the tiyanak candidates win! We really have to watch out for this Abalaos and his riggers. It is not over until it is really over!

    Pichay must know something that the little president does not know. This vegetable is not giving up just yet. Maybe he will end up with Defensor’s votes to get into the magic 12. Tahimik na tahimik ang Rectum at Kadiri! They too must know more than Defensor does! Rectum did it before, he probably can do it again this time, of course with a lot of help from the tiyanak. These vultures do not know how to give up so let us watch their every move!

    Yuko, you are right indeed! Tiyanak is going around trying to raise money to replenish the ones she took to finance her candidates’ campaign ads. Malas nga lang at puro kinakalawang na military truck ang binibigay sa kanya and pledges for possible business ventures, NO HARD CASH! Mabuti pa ang Sweden, it is giving the tiyanak cash. I wonder what strings are attached to this one!

  35. mher mher

    ang dahilan kasi maraming nag aakusa ng pandaraya kaya maraming nag iinit ng ulo bilang tulong ng ating mga kababayan para d cla mainitan, un ang sagot nila pamaypay.

  36. What was he saying? There are 5 million votes still to be counted? Well, of course, if these 5 million votes are added to his WITH NOT ONE vote to the other candidates (you know just like what happened in Maguindanao), of course, he will even end up as the topnotcher.

    I guess Abalaos will always have hands in COMELEC who will be more than willing to repeat the Maguindanao ballot snatching and voting under the puno ng saging (pahiram Xanadu!), that’s why Pitchay is hopeful that he will land the magic 12.

    Indeed! There’s no shortage of election witches and terrorist in this enchanted kingdom of Gloria’s!

  37. Xanadu: Maliwanag na ang lahat. Sa Mindanao ginagawa ang pandaraya. Sinasamantala ng mga cheating operators at kahirapan ng mga tao doon sa pamamagitan ng salapi at salapi rin ang dahilan upang makipagsabwatan ang militar at Comelec officials.

    *****

    Let’s not blame too much the poor in Mindanao. In fact, a lot of them we know now did not vote because they are just too afraid to with all those soldiers, warlords and their bodyguards, tulisans acting like revolutionists, etc. brandishing their guns at the poor populace. Tignan mo nga pati patay hinuhukay para bumoto! And who should be blamed for all that? E di iyong mga hidhid at sakim din ng Comelec that I recommend to be abolished.

    Wala kami niyan sa Japan as a matter of fact because it is not all the time that we have elections. Ibigay na lang iyan sa isang bureau that handles all legal matters. Kailangan talagang mag-isip ang mga tao diyan ng mga measures to prevent these crooks from having funds released directly to their pockets. Is that difficult to do? At saka bakit iyong boba lang ang may karapatang mag-utos ng pagkuha ng pera sa kaban? Golly, ang tindi? And please, puede ba, magtayo na lang sila ng separate police commission na hindi under sa AFP para naman makahuli ng matatabang isdang nagpapataba ng kanilang mga bulsa? Ang bobo naman!

  38. myrna myrna

    Ellen, through this blog, I salute whoever conceived the idea of this pamaypay protest! talagang magaling!

    kahapon, nasa front page nga ito, and when i saw it, talagang sumigla pakiramdam ko. effective talaga itong paglagay sa mukha ni garci sa pamaypay. hahah, siguro hilong-talilong nga yung mga mandaraya sa picc kung anong gagawin. bakit, bawal ba ang pamaypay???

    pilipino talaga, inherently, maabilidad. sana, kung gamitin lang sa mabuting paraan, malayo ang mararating ng pinoy! kaso, dahil sa pekeng presidente at mga mandaraya, ginagamit sa masamang paraan.

    and pinoy’s sense of humour is incomparable!

  39. PSB:

    I actually just based my conclusion on the visit of the unano in Japan when the newspapers would not even give a slot about her visit except the protest against her that the government has taken note of. I have a feeling, too, that it was conveniently used to turn down any request by the utangera for additional grants from Japan because the Japanese are not stupid to know that she cannot pay, panay lang ang puri sa sariling no accomplishments, puro panaginip lang!

    She did not get anything here in fact, just promises from private sectors about possible (note possible) investments in the Philippines, but I won’t rely on such as a matter of fact. Remember the supposed deal with Sony during the FVR regime. Ang laking balita iyong dito about Sony building a big plant in the Philippines. Tapos biglang sabi Sony is withdrawing from such talks and transferring its proposed plant somewhere else.

    It’s not really because the Japanese are a tricky lot. Maingat lang and naniniguro.

    Ang maganda amenado na ngayon si Pandak na hindi welcome dito ang mga ibinubugaw niya, not even the caregivers kaya palusot ang ungas na decreased in half na raw ang mga OFWs with all those workers in the Middle East (Lebanon, etc.) and Africa being forced to pack up their bags for home due to wars, rebellions, etc. there. Pero bilib ka sa yabang talaga, She bragged about the double remittances being sent by the OFWs now. Ibig pang ipalabas na support ng mga OFWs iyon sa kaniya. Hindi niya sinasabing kaya na-double kasi mababa ang palit ng padala niya and their families in the Philippines are having difficulties meeting their needs! O di nakatikim siya ng “fire and brimstones” ng mga OFWs nitong election. Talo ang TU niya with them voting 9-1-2 or 8-2-2 or 8-1-3 as in the case of Japan despite the expensive propaganda and attempts to cheat!!!

    Filipino are politically maturing? Hmmmm…konti pa! They should have harsher laws to stop these cheatings and they should be sure to implement them. Hindi kailangan ang anti-terror bill na katulad ng ipapairal sa July. That bill in fact should not have been passed and approved. It should be abrogated because everyone knows that it is going to be used by the unano to perpetrate more crimes against the Filipino people. Is that difficult to understand? I wonder.

  40. ….Talo ang TU niya with them voting 9-1-2 or 8-2-2 or 8-1-3 as in the case of Japan despite the expensive propaganda and attempts to cheat—IN FAVOR OF GO!!!

  41. Point, PSB, is why the Filipinos would not protest this anti-terror bill aimed only at insuring the permanency of the illegal regime of the unano? Incredibly idiotic talaga! At saka bakit palaging para lang pagbigyan si Uncle Sam?

    Over here, I understand our lawmakers made our own anti-terror on the prompting of the UN in 2001 that was in fact revised in 2003 after I think the police and lawmakers here found the UN recommendations not so applicable to the Japanese situation, and because of course the people here will not agree to any rule or law that will curtail their basic freedoms as guaranteed by the Constitution. Dito kasi ang mga tao pag nagsalita, “According to the Constitution….” ang banat! I wish Filipinos back home would learn to say the same!

  42. Valdemar Valdemar

    Esperon won over the protesters by playing rib smashing music days ago at the portal of Camp Aguinaldo. Now we won with the harmless pamaypay. Who knows one head will go blink on the battle of wits and perhaps “Brenda” will take along PGMA when she really jumps out of the plane on the way to Rome to join the saints.
