What mandate?

As calls for Gloria Arroyo’s resignation, to avoid another extra-constitutional regime change, mount, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye again brought out fantasy mantra: “President Arroyo has a mandate to serve until 2010.”

It’s good that he brought that up because this is a good time to once again to trace where that so-called “mandate” came from.

The blatant bribery that took place in Malacañang last week, which underscored the depth of moral degradation Gloria Arroyo has dragged this nation down, was in connection with the “scandal-ridden joke of an impeachment”, in the words of House Speaker Jose de Venecia.

The magic of the paper bags full of money ranging from P200,000 (what Cebu Rep. Tony Cuenco got) and P500,000 (what Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante got) worked because “scandal-ridden joke of an impeachment” reached the House Justice Committee. Gloria Arroyo is now effectively immunized from any impeachment attempts for one year.

By gaining a one-year respite from impeachment through her “impeach me” initiative, Arroyo bastardized the impeachment process, which the eminent constitutionalist Fr. Joaquin Bernas said is included in the Constitution “to save the nation from one who does not deserve to be in office.”

Why did Arroyo and her allies come up with an “impeach me” initiative at a time when the opposition was not hot on it yet? NBN-ZTE project.

The Senate investigation has so far established the role of forced-to-resign Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos in another scandal-ridden P16 billion telecommunications.

Former Economic Planning Secretary Romy Neri told the Senate that he informed Arroyo that Abalos offered him P200 million to have the NEDA board approve the project. Arroyo, Neri said, told him not to accept the bribe but instructed him to approve the project with ZTE, a Chinese firm.

Arroyo did not castigate Abalos about the bribe offer and even pushed for the approval of the project. So interested was she with the project that she left the bedside of her ailing husband at St. Luke’s Hospital for a 17-hour trip to Baoao, China to witness the signing of the agreement. She did it “like a thief in the night,” according to a press release on that trip by the Malacañang press office.

Everybody was asking, what was the business of a Comelec chair in a telecommunications project that had nothing to do with counting votes. That was what we thought.

It turned out that it had a lot to do with counting votes, especially those that were not cast by the voters. The answer was in the “Hello Garci” tapes. “Pipilitin po natin Ma’am”, the unforgettable words of former Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano. The will of the people was thwarted and Arroyo was proclaimed winner of the 2004 elections when the whole nation was asleep.

Arroyo was in a position to manipulate the 2004 elections including the massive diversion of agriculture, road users, and Philhealth funds for her campaign and election operation because she was in power despite the fact that she was never elected to the presidency.

Riding on the anger of the people on incompetence and perceived corruption in the Estrada administration, Arroyo grabbed the power from the elected president, Joseph Estrada in January 2001.

So, what mandate is Bunye talking about?

Arroyo and Bunye watched “Les Miserables” last month in New York. They better get the message of this song:

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
“When tomorrow comes!”

    Mandate? Mga ulol ! If we trace back the events, there never was mandate for this cheater. Erap’s video about his life and ouster must now be released and shown to the public. Nandoon lahat ang katotohanan including Mike Arroyo’s admission that they conspired with the military long before Erap’s ouster. Incidentally, Pakistan’s former PM Bhutto is back in Pakistan to reclaim her office. It reminds me of Erap who is legally the President of the Philippines. He never resigned. He should be reinstated.

    Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye again brought out fantasy mantra: “President Arroyo has a mandate to serve until 2010.”

    We, The Filipinos cannot allow this anomalous criminal activity to continue. It is up to us to refresh the tree of liberty, justice and democracy in our country. Their greed and lust of power deliberately harm the next future generation.

    Bunye and Puno always have a simple answer for anyone who dares to question their master cash gift, or their suhol hypocrisy. But what is really happening is that they are giving cash money with one hand while their other hand is busy picking our pocket, or they are telling masses one thing when the exact opposite is true. The vast majority of the Filipino people always lose in these exchanges. As a result, I think it is correct to say that Punggok and all the people in her administration, and all the allies in Tongress are a bunch of serial liars, money whores, and treasonous thieves. They should all be wearing bags over their heads because they are all a bunch of two-faced scumbags.

    Based on the recent actions of suhol, I think it is clear that these corrupt people care about image over substance. They lie and when the reality of their actions become obvious they point their fingers at JDV that the money comes from his pocket according to Puno. They have an ideology that is much closer to Pidalism than it is to democracy. This extreme Pidalism ideology, that mergers government and corporate interest into a form of belligerent Kleptomanianism, is also obvious that allies Tongressman fully support this morally depraved ideology and are assisting their greedy midget boss in a secret plan designed to undermine our democracy and rob our government of it’s sizable assets and dollar flows thru the remittances of the OFW.———- Where is the Mandate?

  9. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Malacanang propaganda Chief Ignacio Bunye has the gall to tell us about his boss’ mandate. Everybody knows it’s a fraudulent mandate. Maybe Kenkoy two-disc Bunye is suffering from selective amnesia. What happened to Ruado tape recording? I remember it was forwarded to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for authentication. What now? We don’t expect much from impotent and partisan Department of Justice and its investigating arm NBI. They are part of Malacanang mafia whose job is cover-up and whitewash. Any investigation initiated by Malacanang is meant to hide crimes committed against the Filipino people.

  10. shivaRN shivaRN

    “President Arroyo has a mandate to serve until 2010.” – what the hell are you talking about Mr. Bunye? baka mandate to steal until 2010?

  11. shivaRN shivaRN

    Diego K. Guerrero Says:Any investigation initiated by Malacanang is meant to hide crimes committed against the Filipino people. – I totally agree, 100 % I wonder now what will be the result of bribery probe, And i’m pretty sure that there will be a complete whitewash.

  12. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Lahat na kalokohan ng rehimeng Arroyo ay naging S.O.P. katulad ng cash gift, gag order, political killings at iba pa. S.O.P. dahil kapit-tuko sa nakaw na puwesto.

    That mandate is the mandate to cheat, lie, bribe, intimidate, steal. Bunye, better close your smelly mouth and grow up!

  14. That mandate is the mandate to cheat, lie, bribe, intimidate, steal.

    A mandate obtained through cheating, lying and stealing has only spawned more cheating, lying and stealing.

    Aling Gloria, indeed, has a mandate as president until 2010- ask Garci an his generals.

  15. Yes, what mandate is the Bungi talking about? Hello! One does not get the mandate to govern by stealing votes. Gago din ano?

    Will someone please remind this guy of the two disks containing conversation between his boss and Garci regarding the order for Garci to produce 1M votes stolen from then duly elected FPJ.

    Siguro even in the world of the dead, FPJ must be busy petitioning for justice for what the criminal at the palace by the murky river did to steal the presidency from him. Time for the Filipinos in fact to rise up against the criminal and her minions.

  16. Ellen, what he probably meant was a mandate to steal until 2010.

  17. “Any investigation initiated by Malacanang is meant to hide crimes committed against the Filipino people.”

    Sinabi mo pa, DKG. Bakit iimbestigahan noong kriminal sa Malacanang ang sarili niya? Ang dapat na ginagawa niya ay magpunta sa pulisya at aminin ang kasalanan niya. Golly, huling-huli na ang dami pa ring palusot.

    Tactic ng animal kunyari tahimik at pinapagsalita iyong mga uto-utong bayaran niya. Tapos when the coast is clear, biglang lalabas na ang taray-taray pa ng dating labas lahat ang ngipin na parang kuneho.

    Lumang tugtugin na. Puede ba pakisabi kay Bunye, maghanda-handa na rin siya at malapit na rin matapos ang political career niya.

    Dapat sa mga iyan minamarkahan para hindi na sila lalabas ulit balang araw gaya noong Ronnie Puno na kung sinong nakaupo akala mo tunay siyang faithful sa administration iyon pala tumi-tiempo lang.

    Yuck! Ang dumi!

    talaga naman itong si i have 2 discs bunye. kala ko ba matalino tong ulol na to, anong mandate pinagsasabi nya eh alam naman ng lahat na ninakaw lang ni gloria ang pagkapresidente nya. and even if a person has a mandate it does not mean that such person can just bastardized everything in the country including the constitution.

  19. Ellen: By gaining a one-year respite from impeachment through her “impeach me” initiative, Arroyo bastardized the impeachment process, which the eminent constitutionalist Fr. Joaquin Bernas said is included in the Constitution “to save the nation from one who does not deserve to be in office.”

    *****
    Point is why is she being allowed to do this? She has been doing it for years now. Why then has anyone not dare correct the loophole in that law or make some kind of anti-dote to this flaw of the law that enables the criminal to initiate this diabolical “impeach me” scheme? Golly, alam na nila ang mali, wala pa ring kumikilos?

    Sa amin iyan, Ellen, may mga grupo na ng mga abogado ang lalapit sa mga concerned parliamentarians to pass a bill based on their recommendation para ma-correct ang loophole sa batas.

    Naalala ko tuloy ang sabi ni Orly Mercado sa akin noon when I told him to pass a law to correct the registration system in the Philippines. Sabi niya, “Hindi papasa iyan kasi sa totoo lang, ayaw nilang ma-correct ang mali dahil hindi na sila makakaloko!” Yuck!

    Where’s Orly Mercado? I think he’s currently in Japan. Sayang siya. Di sana siya bumaligtad kay Erap. His political career is over.

    Well, think about if gloria is gone. You have nobody anymore to kick around. Let her stay for as long as she likes so we can use her as target for dart boards, butt of jokes, recipient of namecalls, object of sex jokes, and most of all, stuff for insults.

  22. Let her stay for as long as she likes so we can use her as target for dart boards, butt of jokes, recipient of namecalls, object of sex jokes, and most of all, stuff for insults.

    No, let her go. Masyadong mahal ang maintenance niya.

  23. The Philippines is on a steady downhill trend since 2001. Even if she does leave voluntarily in 2010, she will have caused so much dysfunction in government, in institutions, sold the Philippines to every Tom, Dick and Harry, instituted corruption at every level of society that it will take at least 1 generation to even start getting somewhere.

    Think of this, in 5 years the Philippines sank 10 points in the transparency rank, making it the most corrupt country in Asia.

    How do you get over that? Will take another generation, 20 years to get over that.

    The Palace is scouting for the replacements of Benjamin Abalos who resigned as Comelec chairman and Mehol Sadain who retired as commissioner last year.

    Abalos quit in the aftermath of the scandal over the $329-million national broadband contract awarded to China’s ZTE Corp. which he had allegedly brokered.

    Among the names being mentioned as possible replacement for Abalos are former Senator Jose Lina Jr., dean Amado Valdez of the University of the East College of Law and lawyer Romulo Macalintal, who represents Vice President Noli de Castro in a poll protest filed by Legarda, who lost the vice presidential race in 2004.

    —-Okay na sana ang mga pangalan na balak i-consider except this Romulo Macalintal. Why make Macalintal the Comelec Chair when he’s defending the cheaters in the election protest? Imposible maging patas si Macalintal dahil simula’t sapul ay maka-GMA at Malacanang iyan. He would just be another Abalos. Remove him from the list!

  31. Yuko,
    Yung whole sentence or word or paragraph i-enclose mo ng html tags. Type the tags before and after the sentence or word or paragraph. The tags must be enclosed in angle brackets. It’s difficult to show exactly kasi ang lalabas sa monitor mo yung formatted text na. but i’ll try.

    -for italics, immediately before the word type first the left angle bracket “” with no spaces between the 3 characters. At the end of the word or sentence, Type again the left angle bracket “”

    -for bold text, replace “i” with “b”
    -for underline, replace “i” with “u”
    -for strikeout, replace “i” with “strike”

    remember, always before and after a word sentence or paragraph. the difference is yung end tag may forward slash “/”

  32. Kitam, hindi lumabas ng buo. kasi namisinterpret ng explorer na command yung natype ko.

  33. Ganito dapat:

    Before the word or sentence – left angle bracket (yung uppercase ng comma key) then i then right angle bracket (yung uppercase ng period key)- 3 characters in all

    After the word or sentence – left angle bracket uli then forward slash (lowercase ng question mark) then i then right angle bracket (4 characters in all)

    for bold, replace i with b
    for strikeout replace i with strike
    di pwede pala sa blog yung underline

    gets mo na?

  34. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    Pechanco,

    Si Macalintal, masyadong partisan. Pero may posibilidad, malaki ang kinita niyan sa administrasyon kahit talunan sa Supreme Court.

    O, ito ha, o baka naman iniisip ni glorya na si garci na lang ang gawing Chairman ng Comelec. Magagawa namang lahat ni glorya dahil may mandate (magnanakaw ng datung at election) Sige na nga, ituloy na niya. Para kumpleto na ang kawalanghiyaan at garapalan. Baka ito na ang paraan para magatungan nang husto ang nagtitimping damdamin ng mga tao na naghihintay lamang ng isang tamang oras at pagkakataon.

Itong si Gloria, Apostol, Bunye, Esperon, sana tuhugin kayo ng bala o kidlat na parang litson kasi mga baboy kayo. Itong si Ermita, sinong maniniwala sayo? “Eto nga puro kami trabaho [Here we are, working hard],” Ermita said. Working hard to think how to stole more money from those innocent people? baka mas malaki ang cash gift na inabot sayo? aamin ba naman kayo sa mga ginawa ninyong kasalanan? syempre hindi! sagad buto na ang kasamaan ninyo kasama ng Amo

    Either naduduwag na ang 85 million pilipino o masyado na busy naghahanap ng pera para mapakain nila pamilya nila? Malay natin it’s another of GMA’s pathetic technique to supress the anger of the masses.

  50. No, hindi naduduwag ang mga pilipino. Just trying to survive na lang kasi ang karamihan ng hindi makaalis ng bansa. Iyong mga nakaalis na marami pala walang mga bala. Akala ko aping-aping na ang mga pilipinong pinagputa sa Japan, hindi pala. Mas grabe pala sa Europe na dumaraan pala ang mga pilipino sa mga katulad ng mga dinanas ng mga hudyo noon kay Hitler.

    No wonder awang-awa si Anna and cannot imagine the social menace, etc. caused by Cory’s signing of the legitimization of the Japayukis in 1986.

    Yup, I have just watched several ABS-CBN movies on the OFWs. Ang daming karumaldumal na istorya. Kaya ano ang ipinagmamalaki ni Unanong progressive Philippines na ang main industry ay human trafficking.

    Mandate daw ng kriminal? Whoa, kailan pa nangyaring may mandate ang mga kriminal! Sabi nga ng ama ko, “One forfeits his rights and privileges under the law that he breaks!” It is what I have lived by as a matter of fact. More in tune with the Gospel of Jesus Christ about following God’s Will and Commandments.

    Ngayon nga, golly, nilabag na naman ang 6th Commandment: Thou shalt not kill!

  51. 5th commandment yata yan Yuko: Thous shalt not kill

  52. I think this is what I learned (from memory):

    1st: I am the Lord thy God, thou shall not have any other gods before me

    2nd: Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

    3rd: Thou shall keep holy the Sabbath Day

    4th: Honour thy father and thy mother

    5th: Thou shall not kill

    6th: Thou shall not commit adultery

    7th: Thou shall not steal

    8th: Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour

    9th: Thou shall not covet thy neighbours goods

    10th: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,

  53. atty36252 atty36252

    11th: Thou shalt not get caught.

    12th: When caught, thou shalt deny.

    13th When denial does not work, thou shalt blame somebody else.

  54. Nope, Anna, I am correct. The Catholics actually have removed the Commandment regarding a big no-no, which is the worship of the graven images, which is the Second Commandment. God has actually strictly prohibited mankind to worship any likeness of men or anything on earth. In the Old Testament in fact there are lots of examples where God has destroyed those who have broken this Commandment.

    God revealed to Moses the Ten Commandments to guide His people:

    I Thou shalt have no other gods before me ( Exodus 20:3).
    II Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ( Exodus 20:4).
    III Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain ( Exodus 20:7).
    IV Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy ( Exodus 20:8).
    V Honour thy father and thy mother (Exodus 20:12).
    VI Thou shalt not kill (Exodus 20:13)
    VII Thou shalt not commit adultery ( Exodus 20:14).
    VIII Thou shalt not steal ( Exodus 20:15).
    IX Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour ( Exodus 20:16).
    X Thou shalt not covet ( Exodus 20:17).

    The first five in fact relate to our relationship with God, and the next five our relationship with our neighbors.

    Iyan ang walang bawas, walang dagdag!!!

  55. pechanco pechanco

    Atty,

    14th: Thou shalt say misquoted.

  56. Yuko,

    Your 10 commandments are good and I don’t really care whether the 10 you put up there are the right ones or not because as I said, they’re ok – just thought I learned the sequence differently as a Catholic.

    I am a Catholic and I learned the sequence differently but no quarrel with yours. There’s only one God as far as I am concerned and that’s what matters.

    And I say, Allāhu Akbar!

  57. But can’t really attest if the Catholic one is the right order because I wasn’t in Mt Sinai when Moses received the commandments.

    Thanks Tongue,This is fun.

  64. Anna,

    In act there was a movie named “The 7th Commandment” and it was about adultery. And that makes “Thou shalt not kill” the 6th Commandment.

    You bet, there is only One God. As Christians, we call Him, God the Father, while the Moslems call him “Allah!” and the Jews, “the Great I Am”!!!

    I say, Hallelujah!”

  65. Thanks Tongue.

  66. …In fact….

  67. HG,

    Hindi lang 8, lahat na in fact as when she and her husband worship money to try all those tricks to get them, even adultery in fact if we believe all those rumors!!! 😛

    Actually, I find these verses in the Scriptures that aptly fit to describe the criminal squatting at the palace by the murky river and the Lord definitely hates: (Prov. 6:16-19) These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

  68. Anna,

    I was in grade school when they showed that movie, “The Ten Commandments.” I remember wondering why it sounded so different from what I learned in Catechism prior to receiving my first communion were the Commandments of God. I actually wondered about the missing graven image part and the doubling of the commandment on coveting what others have.

    Those little things in fact made me curious and desirous to read the Bible in full. For my 12th birthday, my father gave me one of those Bibles being distributed by Gideon, and then my search for the truth began.

    It was worth it.

    Matt. 6: 33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

  69. By the way, Anna, it is not my 10 Commandments. It is God’s.

    I cannot own it. I can only just obey.

  70. I have actually included the verses in the Scriptures where the Commandments are written.

    I suggest to everyone to read them as they include promises for obeying them as when God says, “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Exodus 20:12)

    Gloria has mandate to serve until 2010 – Bunye

    Oh, yeah? go fly a kite jerk!

  72. And Mideast, may I add that if Bunye can’t fly a kite, he should go play with the traffic!

  73. Yuko,

    Not really interested in movies. I’m happy with the Catholic Church’ sequence of The Ten Commandments. No need for me to seek out others.

    They say it all and that’s fine with me. I suppose that should not be a problem with anyone here, not even you.

    The Ten Commandments are only among the many commandments of God. So, let’s not limit ourselves into obeying just the 10 commandments. The problem with practicing Christians is that they tend to be selective in their obedience to God’s teachings. Pinipili lang ang gusto nila at convenient sa kanila. Iyon mga mahihirap gawin at sundin, hindi na sinusunod. I think that’s wrong.

  75. Pechanco,

    Who is limiting “ourselves into obeying just the 10 commandments.”

    I don’t have the pretention or even profess to obeying all the 10 commandments solidly so why dig for more commandments? One step at a time… If you are able to follow all ten of them, you must be a saint!

  76. If you are able to follow all ten of them, you must be a saint!

    That’s the objective in fact of following the Commandments, Anna—to be a saint!!!

    Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matt 5:43-48)

  77. Well, I have no ambition of being a saint, Yuko. But I’m mighty happy to have a saint for an acquaintance – you. Good enough for me.

    AdeBrux, I’m only able to follow nine commandments. I’m still trying to obey the remaining one. Mine was just a general statement that we should not limit ourselves to just the 10 Commandments. Di ko maintindihan kung bakit ka nag-react ng ganoon.

    Pero mas magkatunog ang pinagbaliktad na “Sikkim”, mula sa Gangtok?
