Ang Ladlad slams Abalos, Neri

Ang Ladlad, the national organization of lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender Filipinos, today supported the impeachment complaint filed by Iloilo Vice Governor Rolex Suplico against Commission on Elections chairman Benjamin abalos Sr. before the House of Representatives.

ben-abalos.JPGStatement of Ang Ladlad:”We support the impeachment complaint against Mr. Abalos for culpable violation of the Constitution, betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, and bribery,” said Danton Remoto, Chairman of Ang Ladlad. “Mr. Abalos is already ripe for impeachment for his crimes against the Filipino voters and the Filipino people. The stench of his actions darken even the heavens. It began with the overpriced P1.3 billion Mega Pacific deal for computer automation, the 2004 and the 2007 elections anomalies, and now, the ZTE broadband deal.

While we laud Commission on Higher Education officer-in-charge Romulo Neri for blowing the whistle on the P200 million bribe offer by Mr. Abalos, we deplore that he chose to hide behind the skirt of executive privilege to hide Malacanang’s links to the scandal.”

danton-remoto.jpgThe Comelec did not accredit Ang Ladlad’s application to run as a party list in the last elections for alleged “lack of a national constituency” and “not being an under-represented and marginalized group.” Remoto countered by unmasking the alleged bribes going on in the Comelec for the accreditation of party-list groups, from a low of P100,000 in September 2006 to a high of P10 million a week before the May 14, 2007 elections. Ang Ladlad did not pay the bribes.

Remoto adds: “Moreover, did Comelec’s regional officials really visit the houses and offices of our regional headquarters? Did Comelec really check the names and addresses of our members? There were several administration fronts in the last party-list elections, and I am not sure if Comelec also checked their national constituency and the list of their members. Mabuti nga natalo silang lahat. And how can they say we are not under-represented? May umamin na bang bading o lesbyana sila sa Congress at Senado noon — at maging sa ngayon? ”

“I did not even shed tears when Abalos was humiliating me and Ang Ladlad during the hearings. The crocodile tears he could now shed so copiously in public betray nothing else but bad acting. Tinawag niya kaming phantom voters, o mga multong botante. Ngayon, he is involved in a phantom contract, o kontrata ng mga multo.”

After Ang Ladlad’s party-list accreditation was junked, Remoto filed his certificate of candidacy as an Independent Senator, but was declared a nuisance candidate because he did not belong to any major political party. “They allowed Richard Gomez to run; even Victor Wood, who was a singer when I was still wearing shorts in grade school in the 1970s. The senatorial elections was littered with has-been actors and singers, yet I was not allowed to run,” Remoto said. Remoto is an Associate Professor of English at the Ateneo de Manila University. He also took graduate studies in the U.S. and the U.K. on Fulbright and British Council grants, and has published seven acclaimed books to his name. He later ran as a Congressman of the Genuine Opposition (GO) against Matias Defensor in the Quezon City’s third district, but lost.

    Neri did not only hide behind the skirt of Gloria’s e.p., he wore it!!!

    Pakiusap lang to Ma’m Ellen,

    Please post here the picture of Neri (yong winning pose niya bilang Pinakamagandang Lalakwe sa balat ng lupa noong hindi pa uso ang tao) and in every thread his name is being discussed.

    “I did not even shed tears when Abalos was humiliating me and Ang Ladlad during the hearings. The crocodile tears he could now shed so copiously in public betray nothing else but bad acting.”

    Sumpain ng todo si Abalos, ituloy ang impeachment at siya naman ang paulit-ulit na laitin!

    I don’t want Abalos to resign, too easy for an exit. I want him to undergo the process of impeachment, fair and square lang sa Lower Hell Congress ha, walang dayaan at bilihan!

  4. chi chi

    “Neri did not only hide behind the skirt of Gloria’s e.p., he wore it!!!”

    Yehaaawww!

  5. I will sign any petition they plan to pass around.

    Chi, ako sa umpisa pa lang I thought Abaloslos was incompetent. I had a telephone argument with him before on ABS-CBN when we were discussing about the OAV Bill. Walang alam ang ungas! Iyan ang gusto ni unano as a matter of fact para siya ang lumabas na smart and intelligent. Mapaligiran ka nga naman ng mga bobo, e di kahit bobo ka mukha kang matalino. Parang iyong pangit na nagsabing, “Kung pangit siya, wala nang maganda!”

  6. TP:

    Be specific. Anong litrato? Iyong litrato ng Puwet ng Manok? 😛

  7. Chi, di lang yon, i.e., wore the skirt of Gloria’s executive priviledge shit, he also danced with it on the Senate floor…

    Gaga!

  8. chi chi

    Tago si Neri sa saya ng ‘executive privilege’, mas grabe ang effect sa tao. Lalo ng tumibay ang opinyon ng publiko na si Gloria at Mike Pidal ang mastermind sa ZTE.

    Wala ng pwedeng pagtaguan ang baho ni Kwin Korap Gloria, pang 131 na nga ang Pinas sa index ng corruption.

    Pero kahit ano pa ang sabihin, Neri’s toeing his president’s line will bring him back to NEDA. His ultimate aim in life!

    Anna,

    ‘The Rat’ “danced with it on the Senate floor…”

    Meron ng Tessie Oreta ngayon si Gloria. Hahahaah!

  10. Chi,

    Bakit gusto ni puwet ng manok ang NEDA? May pera ba doon?

  11. chi chi

    Yuko,

    Well, baka hanggang doon lang ang kanyang makakaya. May pera doon kung kurakot dahil iyon ang isa sa mga approving agencies for projects. Tingnan mo nga at Neda chair ang presidente.

  12. pechanco pechanco

    Bakit nilaladlad (oopss laglag pala) ng groupong Ladlad ang kabaro nila? Dahil ba siya’y (Neri) ay pangit? By the way, do you guys notice that the Daily Tribune online is delayed for days now? Hindi pa updated hanggang ngayon. What’s wrong?

  13. Ellen,

    I just read your article on the rat. OK na OK.

    When I read what this guy told the media prior to the vigil, etc., I already knew na walang kuwenta ang pangit na ito. Besides, wala talaga akong tiwala sa mga ungas willing to connive with the Gloria Dorobo and the Fatso. Kaya I was unkind to him, and did not agree to giving him any kid glove. Sabi nga, white is white, black is black and can never be gray! Mahirap ang binibigyan pa ang mga ungas ng second chance.

    I thought the picture from Tribune was most fitting for this guy-gal. Grabe!

  14. Pechanco,

    Baka hacked ka. Updated ang Tribune online sa akin. Sept. 28 na sila ngayon with pictures of the Senatongs there. May article nga tungkol kay Miriam na nagalit ang Chinese Embassy. Next time, we’ll be hearing the Chinese dictating the dorobo to do this and that. Tignan natin kung papaano niya sasagutin ang US.

    Dugong aso nga ang ungas kasi magaling manaksak sa likod!

  15. Yuko,

    Di ba ang puwet ng manok can be fried and served as a delicacy? Dapat diyan, fry iyang puwet na yan and served to Gloria…

  16. pechanco pechanco

    Ang akin the title is still “Gloria Linked to Doble’s kidnap”. Ilan araw na iyan. Baka nga na-hacked ako. Hayaan niyo sila…sa huli ako ang hahalak-hak sa pag-hack nila. Thanks yestakei.

    Happy ending ito kay Abalos,kung ang lahat ng bakla,tomboy at mga alanganin ay susuporta sa impeachment complaint ni Sulpicio,ang ibig sabihin pati na rin sina Medy at Neri ay kasali.Mga pari,cardinal obispo at mga sister stella at madre-kakaw ay kasali na rin.Ang matitira na lang na hakot people ni Abalos ay iyong mga forgiven committed sin ng residence sa loob ng Mandaluyong at iyong residence evil sa labas.

    Aprub! Ito.Papayag kaya si Congressman na nananalo lang sa kanyang distrito dahil ika nga pera,pera lang iyan.Pero malakas ang kutob ko dito na kahit na iyong mga associates ni Abalos sa Comelec na next in line ay natutuwa.Ngiting aso ang pakita at kunyari may syentimento,pero nungka kumakanta at nagsasayaw sila sa banyo sa galak.Weder-weder lang iyan.hindi kaya magsuntukan si Bora at Sarmiento,alin sa dalawa .Choose of lesser evil na naman.
    Pero pag ako ang pipili in between sa dalawa,ang pipiliin ko ay iyong walang hilig sa Tsinitas at takot sa kumander.Hindi iyong namimili ng Viagra sa botika,okey lang iyong hangang sa tingin lang sa sayaw ni Luningning.

  18. There’s always a black sheep in the family. Neri is one. Good thing he was caught wearing Gloria’s skirt and dancing with it before he could do irreparable harm.

    Now anything he says and does will be suspect – his own family has rejected him.

    That’s a good start!

    Ayan na yong litrato ni Neri, Ma’m Ellen heard us. Lalakwing lalakwe (pinaka beauty noong hindi pa uso kahit hayop) pero itinakwil na rin ng federacion ng las mujeres bobo de la yuca.

    Isinama pa si Abalos na mukhang bangkay na signaling with his finger pointing up. Sa picture lang huli na. He’s squeaking and squealing that the Number One corrupt is Gloria, that little one.

  20. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    Oops, nawala ang pictures! Naladlad, I mean, nalaglag?

  21. TP, inaayos ko pa.

  22. Neri probably didn’t have enough yugyugan before coming to the Senate so he was only half satisfied that’s why he only blurted half truths.

  23. Tanga din naman itong si Abalos! Kung matalino siya, dapat iyinugyug na lang niya si Neri – di pa siya nabuko! Gago!

  24. martilyo martilyo

    Ano impeachemt kay Abaloslos…
    sigurado babawian siya ng mga congressman na kinikilan ng Comelec. He he he

  25. pechanco pechanco

    AdeBrux, you now are fond of using the word “yugyug”. Please use it with caution. Maraming mga bata ang nagbabasa nitong blog. Baka magkamali sila at mag-yugyugan din sa kama. Abalos and Neri cannot yugyug since the latter doesn’t like Abalos’ ugly face. Mas gusto ni Neri mayugyug si Zubiri. A friend who’s a Senate staff whispered to me that many notice how Zubiri walks inside the Senate Session Hall. Parang sakang na nahihirapan daw maglakad. Baka daw may armoranas.

  26. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    Ngayon pa lamang, naglulundagan na sa galak ang mga miembro ng bastusang pambansa. Basta mayroong impeachment, buhay na buhay ang dugo ng masisiba sa salapi. Aagos na naman ang kadatungan at tiyak, pistang katakot takot ang atmosphere tuwing may Congress hearing on the impeachment. Bakit ba hindi? Malapit na ang pasko at kailangang maka delihens bago mag-adjourn ang session. Timing na timing itong impeachment.

  27. Ok, Pechanco, will use the word with caution:

    Lemme rephrase: “With great caution, Neri and Abalos, did do a yugyug act before the Senate.”

    It’s most likely ‘bitin’ or suppressed ejaculation. We expected that he spill will the beans at doors of stinky Malacannag Palace. Pero bitin na bitin kaya siya nilagnat.

  29. pechanco pechanco

    That’s better, AdeBrux. Everytime you say “yugyug” don’t forget to add “caution”. You’re a smart and good student. It’s a pleasure to be your mentor.

  30. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    Pero ito ang mas masakit para kay Kumareng Neri.

    Pagsalitaan na si Neri ng kung ano-ano at pwedeng ibitin pa ng patiwarik, baka hindi pa ito mayanig. Pero itong naka headline sa Abante, grabe na ito: NERI, PIPITPITIN PA.

  31. Honoured to be your student, Sir!!!!

  32. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Abante Headline: “NERI, PIPTPITIN PA”

    Pipitpitin pa? May makukuha ka pa ba diyan kay Mareng Nerissa?

    Sabi nga ni Pareng Jamby doon sa Senado, “That’s all for now, Mr. Chairman, you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip…a dry turnip!”

    **********

    Kasalanan nila Biazon, Roxas, Cayetano! Nung unang hearing, may babaeng tumakbo papuntang plenary na nagsisigaw ng “Help, Help me!” Iyan yung sinabi ng mga sikyu ng Senado na may sira yata sa kukote na nagpilit pumasok sa plenary.

    Hindi nila kaagad nakilala yung taong yun, pero si Joey alam kung sino. Tanong ni Joey, “Si Neri ba yun?”

    Dapat nung gabing yun, kakanta na ng buo si Neri kung nakilala lang sana siya despite sa casual attire niya.

  33. Tongue,

    Did Jamby really say that? ““That’s all for now, Mr. Chairman, you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip…a dry turnip!””

    Atta girl!

  34. Ellen,

    With the impeccable credentials of Remoto as opposed to the names (of stars) he mentioned, why was he declared a nuissance candidate?

    What was the reason of the Comelec?

  35. I prefer the “Mon-quiqui” monicker for Neri-regla. Monchichi, BTW, was a name for a cute Japanese anime. Neri-regla is not cute to me. Puwet nga ng manok e.

  36. Danton was declared a nuisance candidate because Comelec said he had not proven that his party, Ang Ladlad, has a national network.

    Danton was so angry. In one TV show he said, “What no organization is Comelec talking about. Ang dami-daming bakla dito sa buong Pilipinas. Dito lang sa studio, marami na.”

    Everybody looked at the camera men and other guests with amusement.

  37. I second the motion the observation of Danton. Even my friend at the Japanese DEA made the same observation. Tanong nga niya sa akin, bakit daw maraming bakla sa Pilipinas? Pakisagot, Mr. Danton!

  38. chi chi

    Our ‘sisters’ have now the opportunity to slap Abalos. Mag-rally tayo sa Congress supporting the COMOLEK tser impeachment.

  39. Just for kicks, I showed the puwet ng manok picture to a homosexual acquaintance of mine. Sus, ang sigaw nang makita ang litrato, “Yuko, ano iyan? Impakto?”

    “Parang poetic justice,” he told the PCIJ. “What is happening to me is parang kusa ng Diyos (as if God had meant it to happen). As if He is saying, ‘Ben, I’m putting you there because you have experienced how it is to be cheated.’Benjamin Abalos”

    Daddy Chair:It’s called “KARMA”.

    “What is happening to me is parang kusa ng Diyos (as if God had meant it to happen). As if He is saying, ‘Ben, I’m putting you there because you have experienced how it is to be cheated.’Benjamin Abalos”

    inaang! hindi na kinilabutan!

    ‘buti hindi nagbibitak ang balat ni abalos at nilalabasan ng uod kapag binabanggit niya ang ngalan ng Diyos.

  42. ellen,

    Is “Danton” the first name of Remoto?

    Wow! Danton was the most famous orator during the Reign of Terror (Jacobins) in the French Revolution period. He was of course killed by Robespierre.

    Danton is one of my favourite French heroes.

  43. Di bale, Magno, bago pa makapunta sa impiyerno si Abalos, sunog na ang kaluluwa niya. Tignan mo ang mukha, Sunog na! 😛

  44. pechanco pechanco

    In case you guys don’t know, Abalos started as a caddy at Wack Wack. Today, he goes to 5-star hotel just to have soup. Tangna niya!
