LP’s difficult balancing act

The infighting in the Liberal Party which had caused the departure of one of its senatorial candidates, Sergio Osmeña III , stems from hype that the presidential bid of Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is a battle of “good versus evil.”

Aquino was thrust into the presidential contest after the death of his mother, Cory, which saw a massive outpouring of grief for the most admired housewife –turned –president who inspired the nation to oust a well-entrenched dictator.

The nation’s grief over Cory’s passing was also seen by many as a yearning for decency in government because she had led protests against Gloria Arroyo’s corruption-riddled government.

Since Aquino’s s entry into the presidential race last September, which was made possible by the sliding down of Sen. Mar Roxas, the original LP presidential bet, he has been enjoying remarkable ratings: 44 per cent in Pulse Asia and 60 percent in Social Weather Station.

Aquino’s presidential bid has gained support from the youth and private groups whose members have expressed disdain for traditional politics of money and patronage and desire for “new politics” based on merit and integrity.

Aquino’s formidable lead in surveys has created a bandwagon that even traditional politicians want to join. Lakas-Kampi assets Batangas Governor Vilma Santos and her husband, Ralph Recto, former senator and Gloria Arroyo’s economic planning secretary until two months ago, were inducted into the LP last week.

Recto, who lost in his 2007 re-election bid, is now included in the LP senatorial ticket.

Explaining his decision of leaving the LP, Osmeña said he’d rather go it alone rather than be in the same ticket as Recto who, he said, “ does not fit the image what the party wants to project to the nation to show our goodwill … about new politics and decency in government.”

“ I would have a very big problem with any such candidate joining the slate,” Osmeña, who managed the presidential bid of Sen. Chiz Escudero before Aquino entered the presidential race.

Osmeña’s wife, Bettina, is a Lopez. The Lopezes , who own ABS-CBN, are close friends of the Aquinos.

Osmeña cited the Expanded Value Added Tax, which was the brainchild of Recto, as one of the sore points with the former Arroyo cabinet member. Roxas had also strongly opposed the E-Vat and many are wondering how the party would reconcile the candidates’ conflicting positions on that issue. Aquino, however, defended Recto saying the latter has an exemplary record in the Senate.

A source said when Osmeña raised the Recto issue with Drilon, the latter snapped at him, “If you have complaints, you are free to leave.” That’s what Osmeña did.

A LP insider said they are overwhelmed by everybody wanting to join them which should address their inadequacy of a nationwide machinery.

Yesterday, Arroyo loyalists Quezon City Mayor Sonny Belmonte and his vice mayor, Herbert Bautista, defected to the LP. Also Caloocan Mayor Enrico Echieverri.

The other day, Roxas swore in Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario, one of the original members of Lakas-Kampi, with a big number of local officials. Del Rosario is brother-in-law of businessman Antonio Floreindo, a crony of the late President Ferdinand Marcos . political arch enemy of Noynoy’s father, the late Benigno Aquino, Jr.

If not for the opposition of two LP senatorial candidates, Bukidnon Governor Jose Zubiri, father of Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, would have also joined the LP.

An LP source said former Bukidnon Rep. (1st district) Neric Acosta and Bukidnon Rep. (2nd district) TG Guingona III vehemently protested the defection of the older Zubiri, which was being entertained by some LP leaders.

There is a long history of Acosta-Zubiri rivalry for the first district of Bukidnon. In 2007, Zubiri’s protégé, Candido Pancrudo, Jr. won the congressional seat in the first district by a very slim margin over Acosta’s sister Malou. Acosta has a pending protest against Pancrudo’s election.

LP sources said the Zubiri promised to deliver Bukidnon’s about 600,000 votes to Noynoy and Mar “in a silver platter.”

Acosta said, “Is that our only criteria? What if Garci promised to deliver the votes in a silver platter, should we also take him in? What if convicted rapist Romy Jalosjos promised to deliver the votes of Zamboanga del Norte or Jocjoc Bolante promised to deliver the votes of Capiz, should we also take them in?”

Acosta said instead of being lured to compete the traditional way, he reminded his party mates to harness the power of the 60 per cent of the people who are putting their trust on Aquino to carry out political change.

Acosta said it was a good thing that Aquino put his foot down in the case of Bukidnon.

Butch Abad, Aquino’s campaign manager, admitted in a radio interview that there is a conflict within the party between those who believe that Noynoy has the obligation to his supporters to pursue “new” or reform politics and those who are being pragmatic and want to utilize the machinery of traditional politicians to secure the votes for Aquino and Roxas.

“It’s a delicate, difficult balancing act every day. Case to case,” Abad said.

One question I would like to ask GMA loyalists-now-Noynoy allies: how would they vote, if they were to decide to make Arroyo accountable for her crimes to the Filipino people?

  1. I like what Osmena said of Recto and why he left LP, “[Recto] does not fit the image what the party wants to project to the nation to show our goodwill … about new politics and decency in government.”

    1. The SWS Survey was conducted September 18-21, 2009. Preference for Noynoy was at 60%.

    2. The Pulse Asia Survey was conducted October 22-30, 2009. Preference for Noynoy was at 44%.

    3. The survey results were taken at different times, therefore this takes on the nature of a time-series.

    4. As a time series, the survey results show that while Noynoy maintains a lead at 44% as of October 2009, this preference is lower than the 60% preference in September 2009. That means, a 16% decrease in approval.

    “A source said when Osmeña raised the Recto issue with Drilon, the latter snapped at him, “If you have complaints, you are free to leave.””

    See kuya Oblak kung bakit hate na hate ko si Drilonski. Ganyan talaga yan, akala mo ay hari always in a “snapping” mood.

  4. chi chi

    Pero hindi yan ang ayaw ko sa kanya kundi wala siyang roots. Kung nasaan ang hangin ay dun sya. Ayaw niya kay kuya Mar kasi hindi niya kaya dahil matalino kesa sa kanya kaya biglang ibinalandra si Noynoy. Saka, numero uno sya na defender ni Gloria nun hanggang sa magkabistuhan, rest is history.

  5. chi chi

    Gustong-gusto ko rin ang sinabi ni Serge tungkol kay Recto “not fit the image what the party wants to project to the nation to show our goodwill … about new politics and decency in government.””

    Nanloloko ang LP sa pamumuno ni Drilon.

    Busisiin ko na lang ang mga senatoriables nila at saka dun sa ibang parties, but definitely not from Gibo’s.

    Gaya ng ginawa ko nung nakaraang eleksyon, kampanya grande against Recto ang aking pakakawalan sa aming probinsya.

  6. chi chi

    At muntik na rin na palusutin nila ang mga Zubiris? Lintek naman! Bah, almost pala na nasali sa LP si Miguel na produkto ni Abalos at Bedol.

  7. chi chi

    “Acosta said it was a good thing that Aquino put his foot down in the case of Bukidnon.”

    Yan ang sinasabi ko, kung gusto ni Noynoy ay kaya niyang diktahan ang mga LP elders niya kasi ay siya ang boss talaga bilang presidential candidate. S’ya ang sikat at iboboto ng tao hindi sina Drilon.

  9. Kung ganito ang mga pangyayari sa LP, aba’y malaki pala ang pagkakaiba noong 1986.

    Kasi noon ay nagtalunan sila matapos ang panunumpa ni Cory. Ngayon, nagbalimbingan na bago pa man manumpa si Willie…

    …este si Noynoy pala.

  10. Thanks EQ. I’ve never liked Drilon, the ultimate in tradpolitics.

    The infighting and squabbling within the party will be Noynoy’s litmus test of his capability as a leader.He may be an honest politician but is he the statesman that our country needs remains to be seen.

  12. From Ronald:

    Masyado namang nagmamagaling si Osmena,Ate Ellen.
    Parang ang galing-galing nya.

    Ano sya,dictator ng LP na iyong mga gusto lang nya ang masusunod?

    Pwede ba,gusto rin ng mga kasamahan nya sa LP ang may makakatulong sa paglakas ng partido. Isipin na lang sana nya na ang election ay multiplication dapat at hindi subtraction.

    Aba’y hindi birong boto ang maibibigay ng magasawang Recto sa tambalang Noynoy-Mar!
    Alam nya dapat yun.
    Para syang bata.

    Look at the composition of the other parties also. . .parang chop suey din. . .Take NP for example. . .puro din naman balasubas na taga Lakas ang nandun. . .I am not surprised. . .LP and NP are the two strongest parties in the perception of balimbings from Lakas as of now. . . Tingnan nyo rin ang kay Erap. . .pagkatapos na lumabas ang sunod-sunod na surveys na di sya makaangat-angat, wala nang napa balitang lumilipat sa partido nya. . . for as long na mahina ang political party system natin, iyan at iyan pa rin ang makikita natin tuwing eleksyon. . .mga recycled na talunang kandidato na walang sawang palipat-lipat ng partido . . parang ginagawa nang hanap-buhay. . .pusang alaws!

  14. Ronald, hindi rin biro ang botong mawawala sa LP sa pagsali ni Recto.

    Wala akong duda na si Serge Osmeña sa simula pa lang kontra talaga yan kay Putot, kung naaalala pa ninyo, isa siya sa mga matitinding nag-cross examine kay Iggy nung Pidal hearings. Ang una sa mga exposé ni Lacson.

    Pero ang pinakamatinding ginawa ni Serge ay nung mag-filibuster siya ng dalawang araw dahil gustong hawakan ni Villar ang Senate Committees on Agriculture and Banking, kasabay ng pagiging Senate President niya. Hindi talaga suwapang si Villar di ba?

    Sigurado akong hindi pa nakakalimutan ni Serge nung paluin ni Drilon yung gavel para i-adjourn yung session habang nagpapaliwanag pa si Serge. Kabastusan para sa isang Senador
    ang hindi patapusin sa floor. Nakalimutan na siguro ng marami dito na ang pambabastos sa minorya ay hindi lamang sa Batasan nagaganap noong panahong iyon kundi pati na rin sa Senado.

    Kontrolado ng mga kaalyado ni Gloria ang Senado noon, kasama sila Drilon na nakipag-fifty-fifty sa Senate Presidency kay Villar, bilang kabayaran sa pagtataksil ni Villar kay Erap nung i-forward niya sa Senado ang impeachment complaint habang nagdadasal.

    Panig pa sa pro-Gloria majority si Loren noon, habang sina Angara at Sotto ay nasa minority, kasama nina Lacson.

    Si Serge ay parang si Lacson din, walang kinatatakutan basta’t prinsipyo ang nakataya. Kaya naman kampante ako kay Serge. Iboboto ko siya.

  15. Oblak Oblak

    Sa LP, naninimbang na at nadadagdan ang bigat.

    Sa Lakas Kampi, naninimbang din at nababawasan ang bigt.

    Sa Kampo ni Erap, constant naman, walang nadadagdag, walang nalalagas.

    Sa NP, nag aala LP na rin at nadadagdagan ang bigat. Lalo na ngayon na may alliance na ang NP at KBL. May banta naman ang Makabayan nila Satur na pinag iisipan na rin kung sasanib sa NP sa pagpasok ng mga Marcos.

    Sa LP, mahirap ang pagtitimbang at may halong prinsipyo ang dahilan ng pag alis ni Osmena. Sa NP naman, madali ang usapan “when Manny talks”

  16. KAIR KAIR

    Ang snappy naman ni Drilon, parang menopaused lagi.

    Aba’y hindi birong boto ang maibibigay ng magasawang Recto sa tambalang Noynoy-Mar! – Ronald

    Kung votes lang pala ang habol sa mag-asawang Recto, edi walang pagkakaiba ang LP sa ibang party na nagaaccomodate ng kung sino-sinong mga politiko. Hindi talaga tugma ang pagaccommodate ng LP ng PaLaKa turncoats tapos sasabihin nilang sila ang “righteous”.

    Kung Greatest Chameleon Awards, baka nga maraming botong mahakot ang mag-asawang VIRALph.

    Simula nang parang kabuteng magsulputan ang iba’t ibang partido politikal ay kasabay ang paglalaho ng makabayang paglilingkod at nababale wala ang kapakanan ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Bale wala na sa mga pulitiko kung ano man ang maging sapantaha sa kanila ng mga botante sapagkat sino man ang kanilang lapitan upang hingan ng suportang boto ay tinatapan lamang nila ng konting pera. Kaya nga sa pag-upo nila sa poder matapos manalo sa mga botong binayaran ay hindi nila inuuna ang paglilingkod at pagsasagawa ng mga programang makapagpapaangat ng antas ng kalagayan at pamumuhay ng mga mamamayang umasa kahit binayaran. Mas mahalaga sa mga trapo ang marami silang kakampi sa kanilang antas upang marami din ang magtanggol sakaling merong maghain ng reklamo at kaso sa kanilang mga pagmamalabis sa tungkulin kabilang na ang pangungurakot sa kaban ng bayan.

    Ito ang ehemplong pamumuno na buong pagmamayabang pang iiwan ng PINAKA sa lahat ng pinakasinungaling, mandaraya, gahaman at walang kahihiyang ipinagpipilitan ang sarili bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas. Isang babaeng buong kapalaluang ipinangangalandakan ang pagkakaroon daw niya ng kaugnayan bilang kadugo at kaanan ng mga banal at dinadakilang taong umukit ng kanikanilang pangalan sa bawat pader ng kasaysayan ng sangkatauhan.

    Ang babaeng walang kayang ipagmalaki KUNDI ang nagawa DAW niyang makabuluhang mga bagay na nagpaunlad sa ating pamumuhay na sa tunay na kahulugan ay PAWANG hubad sa katotohanan.

    Kahit anong kaganda ang intensyon para sa bayan, kinakaharap palagi ng kandidato ang realidad na kailangan ang maraming boto para manalo. Kahit kailan, ang politika ay hindi para sa malilinis dahil ang politika ay naka ugat sa kapangyarihan. Ito ay hindi lang sa PIlipinas.

    Kaya naman yung pinaninindigan ang malinis na pamamaraan sa eleksyon, mangungulelat sa eleksyon, tulad ni Perlas at JC.

    Kung itataboy mo ang mga gustong sumali na maaring magdala ng boto, saan ka kukuha ng boto. Hindi ko sinisisi ang LP sa pagtanggap ng mga galing sa ibang partido. Ang unang consideration kasi ay may ma cocontribute ba ito na boto. Pangalawa ay ang pagkatao ng lilipat.

    Mahirap talagang ireconcile ang noble intentions ng kandidato at ang realidad na kailangan munang makakuha ng boto para manalo.

  21. MPRivera MPRivera

    Oblak,

    Depende naman ‘yan sa track record ng tatalon sa tabi mo.

    Katulad nga ng mag-asawang VIRALph. Ano ba ang naging isyu sa kanila na hindi dapat ipagwalang bahala?

    Sino ba ang author ng senate bill na lalong nagpahirap sa mahihirap at nagpalaya sa pasaning pananagutan ng mayayamang kapitalista? Hindi ba’t si Raplh Recto sa kanyang E-Vat law?

    Sino ang isa sa mga nanahimik noong pumutok na ang pamumudmod ng kalakalahating milyong “pambili” ng katapatan at pananahimik ng mga lokal na lider partikular ang mga gobernador? Hindi ba’t si Vilma na walang pangalandakan kundi laban siya sa katiwalian?

    Tapos ngayong nararamdaman nila ang napipintong paglubog ng barkong kanilang sinasakyan ay gagawin nilang timbulan ang pagsalaulang muli sa paniniwala at pagtitiwala ng sambayanan sa pamamagitan ng palipat ng bangkang magtatawid sa kanila tungo sa ligtas na kabilang pampang?

    Kung palagi tayong padadala sa ganitong mga panloloko, saan tayo pupulutin at saan tayo patutungo?

    Papayag ka bang laging pinaglalaruan at pinagsasamantalahan?

  22. Kaninang umaga, pag-on ko sa radyo, me ini-interview ni Joe Taruc. Naabutan ko sa gitna kayat di ko alam kung sino ang interviewee. Pamilyar ‘yung boses pero hindi ko mawari. Ganito kasi ang preface ng mga sagot: “Ang kay Senator Franklin Drilon naman po ay ganito ganire…” “Si Senator Franklin Drilon po ay ganito ganire etc” “Ang opinyon po ni Senator Franklin Drilon tungkol diyan ay ganito ganire etc”. Aba kako, spokesman ni Drilon, kaboses na kaboses niya. Ganoon din nung magpaalam. Tapos nun sabi ni Joe Taruc, “…Yan po si ex-Senator Franklin Drilon!” Nahilo ako.

  23. Oblak Oblak

    MP syempre mas mainam kung maayos na tao ang tatakbo kaya lang, bibihira ang ganitong kandidato.

    Yung kay Recto, sang ayon ako sa sinabi ni Tomas Osmena na suportado nya ang LP candidates. Kay Recto, kung na junk sya sa Cebu ng 2007, junked pa rin sya kay Tomas sa 2010.

    Kung sa lineup ng LP senators, si Recto lang problema, huwag syang iboto. Kung manalo sya, kasalanan na rin yun ng mga bumoto kahit alam nilang sya ang nagpasimuno ng VAT at naging balimbing.

    Imposibleng magkaroon ng perfect line up sa isang partidong naghahangad ng pagbabago. Nasa mga bumoboto na kung sino ang tatangapin.

    Alam ko na may problema rin kasi sa mga botante. Pero ibang istorya na yan.

  24. MPRivera MPRivera

    Oblak,

    Kasama mo ako diyan.

    Wala sa kandidato KUNDI nasa ating mga botante (katulad ko HINDING HINDI ko kailanman ibinenta ang aking boto mula nang ako ay tumuntong sa legal na edad upang gampanan ang pagiging isang mamamayang Pilipino) ang susi upang maganap ang hinahangad nating tunay na pagbabago.

    Tama na sa mga uring trapo.

    Himayin natin ang mapagkakatiwalaan at may ipinapangakong tunay na malasakit sa kapakanan ng karaniwang mamamayang Pilipino.

    Huwag nang iboto ang katulad nina Recto, Drilon, Revilla, Jinggoy, Lapid, Brenda, Joker, Enrile, Hungasan, Allan Cayetano, Legarda at iba pang protektor ng mga kurakot nilang kapwa pulitiko kalinya nina Villar.

  25. Oblak Oblak

    Ang totoo MP, hindi ko nakukumpleto yung 12 sa balota, madalas hanggang 5 lang binoboto ko.

    Yung mga binanggit mo, si joker lang binoto ko nung una. Yung iba, kahit kailan hindi ko binoto ang mga iyan, bagkus, nagkukumpanya pa ako sa mga kakilala na huwag iboboto yang mga iyan. Pero bilib din talaga kina Brenda, JPE at Hungasan, nakaka balik pa rin kahit natalo na nung 2001.

  26. Tungkol sa pagtanggap ng mga Palaka sa LP kapalit ang dalang boto, walang tatalo sa komento ni Neric Acosta:

    “Is that our only criteria? What if Garci promised to deliver the votes in a silver platter, should we also take him in? What if convicted rapist Romy Jalosjos promised to deliver the votes of Zamboanga del Norte or Jocjoc Bolante promised to deliver the votes of Capiz, should we also take them in?”

  27. Ironman Ironman

    Para sa akin,ang election kasi’y paramihan ng boto.
    Kung di magkakautak ang mga namumuno dito,pupulutin sila sa kangkungan.
    Hindi naman ako naniniwalang maraming boto ang mawawala dahil sa pagpasok ng magasawang Recto sa LP.
    Marami dyan,di iboboto ang Rectos pero syempre,LP sila at iboboto pa din ang mga gusto nilang kandidato.
    Ganun lang naman ang sistema.
    Kaya nga may mga botanteng smorgashboard ang ibinoboto.
    At may mga botanteng mixed ang boto galing sa iba’t ibang partido.
    Bakit nakaksiguro ba ang LP na maippapanalo sila ni Serge gayung ang angkan man nito’y hindi magkakasundo sa Cebu na pinagmulan nila.
    Yung iba kasi sa atin,akala mo ang linis-linis pero madami ding bahid-dungis.

    Iyang ugali ni Serge,result na lang siguro ng operation nya sa puso kamakailan lang.
    Kaya parang bata.

    It is imperative for Noynoy to show his mettle at this stage of his political journey.

    Mga kandidato pa lang ang issue nagkakagulo na ang kanyang mga tao, e ano pa kaya kung mga appointive officials na ang issue kung siya ang mananalong pangulo, e di mas lalong malaking gulo, kanya-kanyang manok at bulong iyan.

    It is imperative for Noynoy to show his mettle at this stage of his political journey.

    He doesn’t have to scream or to sound dictatorial — cool lang siya dapat and determined. He will be respected all the more.

    He must be the ULTIMATE negotiator, i.e., to achieve win-win solution.

  36. MPR, mabuti tinanong mo ito:Katulad nga ng mag-asawang VIRALph. Ano ba ang naging isyu sa kanila na hindi dapat ipagwalang bahala?

    Ako walang problema kay Vilma. She’ll be an asset in any party. Si Ralph ang liability.

    You mentioned E-VAT. Somebody reminded me in 2001 when he figures in cheating and eased out Honasan from no. 12. Honasan had to settle for number 13 that will finish the remaining term of Teofista Guingona who was appointed by Arroyo as her vice president.

    One of the questions raised against Recto’s votes were from Turtle islands. The number of votes exceeded the registered voters in that island. The joke then was that it was the turtles that voted Recto senator.

  37. There was an article in Newsbreak that dry run for “Hello Garci” was for the making of Recto as senator in 2001. The same operator that manufactured the fake election returns for Gloria Arroyo in 2004 to replace the genuine ERs in the ballot boxes being kept at the Batasan, was the same operator that made Recto senator in 2001.

    It’s good that this thing came up. Mahalungkat nga yung stories na yan.

  38. Did you see Caloocan Mayor Echieverri take his oath as LP? Real turnoff. But then he will deliver the votes for Noynoy and Mar.

  39. chi chi

    Produkto rin ni Hello Garci si Recto. Ipagkalat!

    I read that it was Ate Vi who insisted on a package deal. Ayaw iwanan si Ralphie sa Kuya at kay Money, lalo namang ayaw iwanan sa dati niyang bff na Gloria unana dahil mangungulelat na naman sa eleksyon.

    Tuso rin si Vilma, hindi pumayag na vice ni Gibo, alam niya na katapusan na ng political career nilang mag-asawa kung mangunyapit sila sa donya unana. Tuloy, ang ipinalit sa kanya ay ang dating sinta, hehehe.

    I agree, Ms. Ellen, I saw Echieverri’s oath taking. Kakapigil halakhak. When his arms were raised, he looked like a fat monkey being carried away. The wonder of photoshop worked with Echieverri. Sa mga posters at tarpaulin akala mo kung sinong mestizo, sa personal pala, ibang iba.

    Hanga din naman ako kay Echieverri sa mga posters na pinagawa nya na may malaking “Nice City” at sa taas naman yung pangalan nya na maliit ng kaunti, kaya kung babasahin, Echieverri, Nice City!

  42. Oblak Oblak

    Feel na feel ko maging opposition, kaya Ms. Ellen, for the sake of argument lang ito.

    Regarding the topic that Recto’s 2001 win was the dry run for Hello Garci. Kaya sya kinuha ng LP dahil tutulungan nya ang LP para hindi magaya. alam nya ang mechanics ng Hello Garci win, kaya sya ang magiging mata ng LP sa ganitong pandaraya.

    Nasusuka yata ako sa sinabi ko!

    Another angle to consider why Serge does not like Ralph is the fact that he was appointed by Gloria as NEDA chief and like the three monkeys “he sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil”,with regards to the anomalies involving the first couple.
    If you will recall, Neri was NEDA chief when the ZTE controversy exploded, now you connect the dots…

  45. Chi,

    Yep… I liked V. She was intelligent (if not more intelligent than the hubby).

  46. Chi: I read that it was Ate Vi who insisted on a package deal.

    Chi, it’s in my article last Wednesday: The battle over Batangas votes.

    Maybe Ralph told Vilma to insist on that.

  47. Press statement of former Sen. Ralph Recto On Serge Osmena’s reported plan to bolt LP:

    Nasorpresa ako sa balita na nagbabalak ang aking kaibigang si Serge Osmena na lumisan sa LP dahil sa pagsanib ko sa kilusan ni Noynoy at Mar para sa malinis na pulitika.

    Unang-una, kami ang inimbitahan ng LP at hindi kami ang nag-apply.

    My service in government is of public record. It is one unstained by any charge of corruption or wrongdoing.

    I have always been known to speak out my mind, be it in the floor of the House, committee rooms of the Senate, and inside Malacanang.

    I opposed EO 464, CPR, Charter change, the national ID system, ang pagpaslang ng mga akbista, the State of Emergency proclamation, and in NEDA, the onerous provisions of the Laiban dam contract, the ZTE proposal, RFID, SICPA at marami pang iba. Katulad na rin ng pag-aabuso ng mga dambuhalang kumpanya ng langis.

    I have never allowed my party affiliation to get in the way of my principles.

    I have unfairly borne the blame on a tax measure as if it was an executive decree that I signed but it was a measure pushed by the World Bank, proposed by the Finance department, endorsed by Malacanang, originated in the House, approved by the Senate. This tax measure would not have passed without the support and cooperation of the members of Congress, including contributions made by Sen. Serge Osmeña.

    I did not invent VAT; it was introduced to the country when I was still in college in 1988.

    My position on taxes in general is that each has an expiry date. A tax for one era might not be needed in the next. From Day One, the next administration should set out the goals of plugging tax leakages, stopping smuggling, promoting honest procurement and curbing corruption so with more money in hand it can schedule the phasing down of tax rates, not only of VAT, but of income and business taxes.

    I believe that a Noynoy Aquino administration will create a healthy economy, boost business confidence, and halt corruption, moves that will engender tax obedience among the people who after seeing that the taxes they pay are spent properly will be encouraged to pay the right taxes, thus generating enough revenues that could pave the way for the reduction of tax rates, which is the best dividend the people can get for honest governance.

  48. chi chi

    Ay..Ellen, sa article mo nga pala nabasa ko, hehehe.

    Possible because Ralph was traumatized still with what happened to him last election. Apakan ba naman sya ng kapinuyan dahil sa Gloria konek, ang sanglap sa isang dati ng senador.

  49. Nasorpresa ako sa balita na nagbabalak ang aking kaibigang si Serge Osmena ….

    Naiintindihan ko si Recto pagdating sa EVAT. Just like the initial VAT, talagang katakot takot na pag laban dito. Nakita ng outside forces na may patutunguhan yung nakokolekta sa VAT kaya kailangan iexpand ang coverage. Ang naging problema sa EVAT ay kung saan saan napunta ang nakolekta. Kinurakot lang.

    Economics ang forte ni Recto. Parang si Winnie Monsod na madalas kong naririnig na dinedepensa ang ibang buwis.

    Alam ni Recto ang pinagsasabi nya kapag economics ang usapan. Sa mga political moves lang nya siya pumapalpak.

    Tingnan nyo rin ang kay Erap. . .pagkatapos na lumabas ang sunod-sunod na surveys na di sya makaangat-angat, wala nang napa balitang lumilipat sa partido nya. . .?

    Oooops..Henry90, tama ka wala sa ABS-CBN newsmedia, PDI, and other media entities na kontrolado ng civil socialites, Pro-Yellow Fever and Hello Garci media practitioners yong gusto mong mabasa?

    Kaya open your eyes Bro? Keep yourself neutral para maging balance ang ating pananaw upang matamo natin ang pagbabago sa ating lipunan.

    Bigyan kita ng Datos ha…for your additional Infos:-

    Erap captures Davao.

    (1)Pres. Erap inducted into the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) 300 leaders from Digos and 14 towns of Davao del Sur at the Digos City Plaza where he proclaimed Jose Abad Santos Mayor Alex Wangkay as PMP candidate for governor in tandem with Vice Gov. Fely Latasa who is running for reelection. Digos City Mayor Arsenio “Boy” Latasa, who is a brother of Vice Gov. Latasa, is the group’s candidate for Congress in the 1st district.

    (2)Five thousand persons led by City Mayor and Mrs. Joseph Benjamin Bautista welcomed President Erap and VP candidate Jojo Binay to Malita which has 70,000 votes. Also in the Erap-Binay party were senatorial candidates Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Agusan Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza and ZTE whistle-blower Joey de Venecia III.

    (3) Two thousand persons crowded the Erap caravan in Sta. Maria, Davao del Sur where he proclaimed Luz Abao Pundato in a mini-rally as the PMP candidate for mayor.

    (4) An enthusiastic crowd led by Mayor Jose Silvosa met the Erap party at the vote rich Panabo City (120,000 voters) where Erap spent more than one hour posing for pictures with shrieking municipal government employees. The Erap party visited Carmen, Davao del Norte with Mayor Mar Perandos heading the welcomers.

    (5) Mayor Rey Chong led the welcomers at Tagum City public market, Mayor Macario Humol hosted him at Nabunturan. Compostela Valley. Rep. Way Kurat Zamora endorsed Erap at the Nabunturan cockpit where a derby was being held.

    (6) Mayor Manuel Brillantes Jr. treated him to merienda at the Monkayo Municipal Hall. An estimated 10,000 persons each crowded the streets of Nabunturan and Monkayo to see the Erap motorcade.

    (7) Last Saturday, President Erap penetrated the three districts of Davao City as he visited Toril, Bangkerohan and Agdao where he was endorsed by Barangay Chairmen Boboy Al-Alag, Edgar Ibuyan Jr. and Mar Masanguid. He also dropped by at the SM Mall to greet moviegoers who watched his movie Ang Tanging Pamilya at the SM cinemas, throwing hundreds of shoppers and store salesgirls into a frenzy. Sen. Jinggoy Estrada joined President Erap in his Davao City sortie. Three thousand persons joined 11 barangay chairmen in a rally at the R. Castillo gym in Agdao district.

    (8) Former Davao del Norte Rep. Tony Boy Floirendo hosted the Erap party for dinner at the Waterfront Hotel. Representative Floirendo predicted the fight in the Davao provinces will boil down to a contest between Erap and Manny Villar.

    (9)President Erap also had a dialog with 80 tribal leaders of the Mindanao Indigenous People’s Association and 50 My Erap youth leaders representing 10 universities and colleges in Davao City. Yes, the packed itinerary once again proves President Erap is in good health.

    In the 10 towns visited, the Erap-Binay team is the first presidential tandem to visit. Three other presidentiables limited their visits to the cities. Erap continues his Lakbay Pasasalamat with visits planned for Panay Island this week.

    See…Mr. Henry90…mayroon bang news na ganito sa mga newspapers o TV newstands na nabasa mo ha?

    Kaya alam mo one-sided yong mga comments na kesyo sa LP lang nagtatalunan ang mga Paru-parong ligaw? Pero ang mga taga-suporta ng Ama ng Masang Pilipino e mga totoong tao.

    Pareng Balweg, dahil sa iyo galing ang information, paniniwalaan ko. Kaya lang, bakit mahina yata ang PR o publicist ni Erap at hindi napapabalita yan. Baka pati sa Tribune hindi lumabas ang balita at wala pa akong nakikitang link.

    Maraming nanglulumo na maka Erap dahil sa hindi masyadong matunog si Erap ngayon sa media. Kailangan yang mga balitang yan para naman sa mga supporters ni Erap sa ibang lugar sa labas ng Davao.

    Heto pa Mr. Henry90…para balanse ang ating pananaw sa pangpulitikal na kamalayan ng ating mga Kababayang Pinoy na laging nagpumapasyal sa Ellenville garden para makasimoy ng sariwang hangin at di polluted!

    Erap wins Subic.

    (1)President Erap has edged out Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar in getting the support of the influential Khonghun group of Subic, Zambales, the biggest town in that Region III province with 60,000 votes. Senior Provincial Board Member Joy Khonghun, Subic Vice Mayor Jun Guevara, Zambales ABC president and SP Member Oyie Pangan, SP Member J. V. Felarca from Castillejo and eight Subic town councilors took their oath Sunday, as PMP members before President Erap at his Polk Street residence in a ceremony witnessed by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada.

    (2)LP Mayor Alex Aranas has joined President Erap to be the PMP candidate for Congress in the first district of Oriental Mindoro. Mayor Aranas has the distinction of building a modern P140 million public market from private donations.

    (3)In Samar, former Rep. Catalino Figueroa is the PMP candidate for Congress.

    (4)Former Rep. Anthony Miranda is running for mayor of Santiago City, Isabela under the PMP banner.

    (5)Customs broker Edwin Santos has been chosen by President Erap as his candidate for mayor of Obando, Bulacan.

    (6) Retired PNP General Efren Fernandez is the candidate of President Erap for mayor of Kalibo, Aklan.

    Ano ibig sabihin nito…sino ngayon ang nagsasabi ng totoo sa ating ma nga pahayagan?

    Well, Igan Oblak during my college days alam mo di ako nag relied sa mga binibiling pahayagan kasi nga may bayad yan…ang binabasa ko galing sa Kalatas ng LFS at nandito ang tunay na istorya sa likod ng mga nagaganap sa ating lipunan.

    Ngayon naman…bayad pa din kasi nga kontrolado ng ng civil socialites (eletista) ang karamihan ng mga Newspapers at TV outlets.

    Syiempre…bakit ibabalita nila yong magiging threat sa kanilang mga manok di ba? Logic lang yan…pero ang Lakbay Pasasalamat ng Ama ng Masang Pilipino e aktwal na kaganapan at mismo ang mga kinauukulan ang siyang katagpo ng PMP/UNO/PDP-Laban wannabees.

    Pero itong maiingay na Paru-parong ligaw e yan ang gustong pagpiestahan ng mga journalists upang mayroon kita ang kanilang kumpanya.

    But yaon realidad e wala sa kanila kundi yon lang papogi point.

    Ang sa akin lang, he was already given a chance once, he blew it! Marahil, nandyan pa rin ang maraming suporta sa kanya but I doubt that it will be as overwhelming as the support Noynoy and Villar have in this upcoming election.

    My service in government is of public record. It is one unstained by any charge of corruption or wrongdoing. -Recto

    “Unstained”…it may be so because no one complained against him in court, dikit kasi siya sa kusina noon. (Nakita na kaya ni Ellen ang kopya ng Newsbreak?)

    Completely agree with Ralphie that his service in government being a defender and supporter of the fake president until he jumped ship recently is of public record.

Granting na tama yang datos mo, ang sabi ko dun sa comment ko sa taas, pagkatapos nang lumabas ang latest na mga surveys kung saan nasa 3-4 na puwesto pa rin si idol mo, bakit para bagang biglang nanahimik? Ang mga datos na nabanngit mo ay noong proklamasyon pa nila ni Binay yun ng nakaraang buwan at ang iba naman ay noong lakbay pasasalamat pa. Di maikakaila na lubhang napakabilis ng mga paggalaw ngayon sa mga alyansa ng mga partido kaya naitanong ko kung bakit pwedeng mahulugan ng karayom sa sobrang tahimik sa kampo ni Erapski. . .yun laang. . .

  62. Chi, here”s what I wrote on Feb. 12, 2007 (http://www.ellentordesillas.com/?p=914):

    We are not surprised with Recto’s playing deaf and dumb to the “Hello Garci” issue, which strikes at the legitimacy of Gloria Arroyo’s presidency, because that resurrects the ghosts of his “turtle” votes in 2001.

    It should be recalled that in the 2001 election, Recto and Gringo Honasan were contesting the 12th and 13th slots. The 12th would get a six-year term and the 13th would get the three-year term that was vacated by Sen. Teofisto Guingona (who had been appointed vice president).

    The camp of Honasan questioned the votes that Recto got in Turtle Island in Tawi-Tawi because they exceeded the number of registered voters in that small municipality. Where did the votes come from then? The joke was that even the turtles voted.

    Recto also has one important connecting link with Gloria Arroyo: Roque Bello.

    Bello is described by Gigi Go of Newsbreak as “a retired regional director of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in his 60s who is known in political circles to have the sophistication and the right contacts within the poll body to influence the votes to favor whoever his principal is.”

    In her exposé on the manufacturing of fake election returns in 2004 to replace with the genuine ones, which showed Fernando Poe Jr,, winning over Gloria Arroyo, Go said on May 18, 2001, Arroyo met with Bello as a practice run for the 2004 election cheating operation.

    “In that 2001 meeting,” Go said, “the President was supposed to have been given Bello the orders to make sure Ralph Recto would win a full six-year term.”

    Recto and Gloria Arroyo’s partnership on cheating and stealing votes go a long, long way. They truly deserve each other.

    The only missing spice for the dish that’s being cooked at the LP-Noynoy camp is Gloria Arroyo. She may not be there physically but her smell was so strong, scared the gentleman from Cebu that he dashed out for a quick get away.

    Noynoy opted for their latest recruit Recto-Santos over one of the very first volunteer to join his camp. He chose quantity over quality. Recto was never an opposition. He was for Gloria all the way and so it is safe to say that he is a representative of Gloria in the LP camp and in case the LP wins, it’s still happy days for Gloria, Mike, Mikey and Dato. Marami ng padrino si Gloria sa LP, Unang-una si Romulo, at ngayon Recto-Santos at yong mga nagtatalunan sa bakod ni Noynoy. Kapag nanalo si Noy, it will be another gloria administration bearing the face of Noynoy.

    To compare Recto and Osmena is a no brainer. This shows that something is wrong with his judgement. It’s a far cry from what his camp are trumpeting about the good versus evil. It’s all talk to win the votes of the people. But people always know when someone is speaking with passion and from the heart.

    Ngayon…sinisisi nila ang Ama ng Masang Pilipino bakit nangyari ang mga ito? Dapat ang sumagot niyan e yaong mga naghudas at traydor sa ating Saligang Batas sapagka’t di si Erap lamang ang dinusta nila ang karapatan at pagkatao, kundi ang 11 milyong register voters ha at di kasama dito yong mga flying voters?

    Doon sa 11 milyong Masang Pilipino e + pa dito yong buong pamilya nila…aba e kaya bang sikmurain ng mga paru-parong ligaw yong ginawa nila NOT once, BUT twice.

    Ngayon ang iingay nila kesyo di qualified si Pres. Erap na tumakbo muling Pangulo sa 2010…mga bobo pala sila e isang katutak ng legal experts ang maysabi ng pwede siyang tumakbo muli e ngayon ang kikitid ng kukote nila.

    Kasi mga takot na sa oras na muling manalo ang Ama ng Masang Pilipino sure etcha pwera ulit sila, mga uhaw yan sa kapangyarihan at mga lingkod-bulsa.

    Ano ang nangyari sa kanilang ka ek-ekan sa 10-years na pangungulimbat ni Gloria…mismo sa kanilang bibig galing na si gloria e pasaway…so, dapat lang shut their mouth coz’ silang lahat ng dahilan kung kayo tayo baon sa dusa.

    Heto sila pa ngayon ang maiingay na kesyo na sila ang pag-asa ng ANO? Kaululan yong kailang sapantaha sapagka’t kundi sa kanilang pesteng katwiran di dapat tayo aabot sa ganitong sitwasyon.

    ‘Langya, sinangkalan pa ang aking mga kababayan. Palibhasa’y bulol itong si Vatman, hindi niya siguro alam na noon pa mang hindi pa nagsusulputan ang mga kabuteng ligaw na mga partido pulitikal, Nacionalista county na ang Batangas.

    Batangueños’ will

    Recto, in an interview over radio dzMM on Saturday, said that jumping to the LP, instead of joining his friend Sen. Manny Villar’s Nacionalista Party (NP) was the hardest political decision he has made.

    He said that before he and Santos were formally sworn in as LP members, he had to call Villar to inform the NP standard bearer of his decision.

    Recto insisted that it was their allies in Batangas who pushed them to run under the LP ticket. He said the political leaders told them to help Aquino in his presidential bid.

    “Sa Batangas, ang sabi sa amin ay tulungan si Noynoy. Nakita ko ang inspirasyon na ibinigay sa kanila ni Noynoy (In Batangas, they told us to help Noynoy. I saw how Noynoy inspired them),” he said.

    He said negotiations between them and the LP lasted for about a month.
