No DILG for Binay

Vice-president elect-Jejomar Binay has set aside subtlety and made known his desire to be appointed secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government.

“If you go by my experience and expertise, if the incoming President would allow, I would like to be appointed secretary of the DILG, “Binay said yesterday after their proclamation as winners of the May 10 elections.

I seriously doubt Binay will get his wish, even if many in Aquino’s inner circle were his supporters . I understand it’s Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo who will be given this politically strategic position.

Robredo fills up the criteria of the Aquino administration of presenting a fresh and dynamic face. Robredo was the 2000 Ramon Magsaysay awardee for government service. Although, there are those who are also pushing for Jun Simon. What was he before, Quezon City vice mayor?

Although the DILG position was offered to Binay before the start of the election campaign to entice him join the Aquino camp, Aquino had said a week before election that the offer no longer stands. “I am no
longer confident that the good mayor and I share a common vision and
therefore the past offer then is no longer valid.”
Binay has pledged cooperation to Aquino and it is expected that the former would be given an important role but not DILG or any position that he could use as a launching pad for his 2016 presidential bid.
That’s rubbing salt to Mar Roxas’ wound.

    Ms. Ellen, I will reiterate that I agree with your points and I also believe that Mayor Robredo is the better choice to head DILG.

    I watched Bandila tonight and according to Binay, he was offered the DOTC post and he is still thinking about it.

  2. olan olan

    mandate for Binay is to be a VP. Pres. Aquino should not give him the DOTC, if true, and let other new faces with integrity have the position. enough of these political movements…good governance naman!

    Well, dito natin mapapatunayan who’s Noy2 about his decision-making…let see and wait, mahirap magspeculate kasi nga sa June 30 pa siya magsisimula at bibigyan natin siya ng 100days.

    Ngayon, saka tayo magsisimulang magkumento after 100 days sa kanyang panunungkulan.

    I’m NOT expecting too much sa Yellow regime…remnant din sila ng EDSA DOS at karamihan sa mga handlers nito e part ng civil socialites na kicked out from Gloria’s regime.

    My only wish e magpakatotoo sila sa kanilang sarili at enough na yong ginawa nila from the past.

    About Mayor now VP-elect Binay…CONGRATS! Malaki ang expectation ng Noypi sa iyong kakayahayang mamuno at NAWA e magkaroon ka ng tamang posisyon sa gobyernong Noy2.

    Tama ang DILG posisyon, but ang problema e yaong YB2 (Yellow Bulong Brigade)…kaya hope na si Noy2 e magpakatotoo sa kanyang mga pangako na dapat ang maipwesto sa poder ng paglilingkod-bayan e mga qualified Noypi.

    Para nman umunlad ang Pinas…

    huwag na lang. saka hindi yan bibitaw ng kontrol sa makati kahit na anak na niya ngayon ang alkalde. di ba nga doon sa lumang gusali siya uupo.

  5. Nathan Nathan

    Sayang si VP Binay.

    Natural lang yon na hindi ibigay ni Noynoy kasi lalong lalakas si VP Binay pag nahawakan niya ang local government at Police. Besides hindi sila magkapartido, syempre politics yan… hindi basta basta papayag ang “Bulong Brigade”. Pero sayang… malaking tulong sana yan si Binay sa Aquino Admin. Expected na yan…

  6. Nathan Nathan

    Pero kahit hindi yan Bigyan ni Pres. Noynoy ng posisyon si Binay… hahanap yan ng paraan na makapag serbisyo. Nakapag share pa nga sya sa City namin na Mayor pa sya at ang layo ng Mindanao… ngayon pa na Vice na sya… ok lang yan kay Binay kung walang tiwala si Noynoy sa kanya.

    Maraming paraan para magserbisyo!!!

  7. Jun Simon was QC Mayor from 1986 to 1992.

    He was first appointed as OIC by Pres. Cory after EDSA 1 in 1986. In the 1988 elections, he was relegated as vice mayoralty candidate in tandem with Mila Aquino Albert for Mayor which in defiance to Cory, he opted to run for Mayor. He plucked Tito Sotto from Eat Bulaga to be his vice mayor. The duo capitalized on the popularity of Eat Bulaga TV program with the then 5-year old Aiza Seguerra as their most effective celebrity endorser. Both won handily.

    Mas gusto ko si Mayor Robredo sa DILG, he’s not aiming for the presidency in 2016 unlike Binay. Siempre, kung sino ang may hawak na DILG ay meron malaking advantage over his would- be-rivals. Kailangan ay patas ang laban ng kung sinumang gustong kumandidato sa taon na yun. Besides, mas meron touch si Mayor Robredo sa mga kanayunan unlike Binay na sa progresibong Makati nakatuon ang leadership.

    Of course, meron advantage ang experience ni Binay sa Makati pero ayaw ko ng may ambisyon kaagad kaya gusto niya ang pwesto.

    Giving Binay the DILG post will be “rubbing salt to Mar Roxas’ wound.” Masyadong masakit yan talaga, huwag na lang.

  11. clearpasig clearpasig

    I think Mayor Jesse Robredo is a better choice, his experienced in Local Government is applicable in all areas of the country. To replicate Makati’s nationwide is not suit enough to our environmental capacity because we are powerful nation if we focus on agriculture.

  12. chi chi

    Nathan, tingin ko ay may tiwala si Noynoy kay Binay na die hard follower ng nanay nya, pero siempre ay tumitimbang din sya sa kanyang mga kapartido lalo na kay Mar na nagsakripisyo ng ambisyong mag-pangulo para magbigay-daan sa kanya. Dapat lang na respeto ni Noynoy ang damdamin ni Mar.

    Resourceful si Binay, makakapagserbisyo sya ng husto sa kapinuyan kung gusto, sabi mo nga. Pero bilang VP ay dapat tanggapin nya ang iaalok ng presidente at pagbutihin ang serbisyo sa sektor na pinagtapunan sa kanya. 🙂

  13. martina martina

    Parang nag traydor si Binay kay Erap, kaya i feel that Noy should not trust him.

    Masakit din nangyari kay Erap, kaya nga siguro hindi siya bumoto ng VP, dahil siguro natunugan niya ang pagtraydor. Sa huli, natalo si Erap sa San Juan maybe because naging null votes ang mga walang VP votes na pihadong hindi lang si Erap ang gumawa kundi ang lahat niyang kaalyado duon.

  14. Rudolfo Rudolfo

    Marami din ang pabor na si Mayor Jess Robredo, ng Bicol-Region-v ang dapat bigyan ng pagkakataon or ” BREAK ” ni President-elect, NoyNoy Aquino. Pag-bigyan naman ang ” sparkling star ” ng bicol, na maraming international recognition, sa paraang, ” Local Government ” ang pinag-uusapan. Magaling siya, at practical sa pagsulong ng local
    government, at iyan ang kanyang linya, kaya di matalo-talo bilang Mayor ng Naga City, at iginalang ng mga Villafuerte. Ang Kaunlaran ng Naga City, at disiplina ay utang sa kanyang pamamahala. Very patriotic siya,kaya nga humanga sa kanya, ang ” founder”, nang ” KAYA NATIN MOVEMENT ” na si ginoong Harvey Keh, propesor sa Ateneo de Manila. We wish, maibigay sa kanya ang DILG, para masubukan ng husto ang kanyang kakayahan, lalo na naghahanap ang ating bansa ng mga kabataang dapat mabigyan ng “break ” at hinog sa pag-subok, sa larangan ng lokal na pamamahala.

  15. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    Although, there are those who are also pushing for Jun Simon.

    Jun Si? Corrupt yan. He was backing up some claimants to UP land employing some fabricated Spanish title. He was one of the “influential people” interested in litigation over UP land.

    Ask the former personnel of then RTC judge Delilah Vidallon-Magtolis.

  16. perl perl

    Napakali ng power ng DILG secretary. Imagine hawak nya PNP, LGU pati barangay level… para na din yang presidente… Naturallang na dapat ibigay ni PNoy ang DILG sec position sa kanyang lubos na pingkakatiwalaan. Si VPNay, nakita natin kung paano ilaglag si Erap… baka dumating ang panahon na magkagipitan… baka mag-ala Gloria yan si PNay… kung ang DSWD sec nga eh napatalsik ang presidente eh… DILG sec pa kaya…

  17. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    Dinismiss ni Magtolis.

    Another set of claimants was represented by Oliver Lozano. Dismiss naman sa Court of Appeals ni Justice Campos.

    Aquino had said a week before election that the offer no longer stands. “I am no

therefore the past offer then is no longer valid.”
    Before election po ba o before proclamation?

    Anyway, malinaw naman na pala… No DILG for Binay

  19. Nathan Nathan

    Mga Igan.

    Hindi yan totoo na naka concentrate lang si Binay sa Makati… hindi nyo lang alam kasi hindi kayo taga Mindanao. Ako taga Mindano ako… may konti akong alam sa 130 Municipality and Cities sa buong kapuloan na tinulungan ng Makati sa under Binay admin.

    Hindi rin yan totoo na iniwan ni Binay si Erap…. kung yan ang intention ni Binay dapat noong Edsa 2 pa iniwan na niya si Erap… dapat noong nasa Jail pa si Erap dapat isang rason yon para iwanan niya pero naging tapat sya.

    Pero tama naman si Binay… kung walang tiwala si Pres. Noynoy sa kanya… hindi niya ipipilit ang sarili nya.

    At saka normal yan sa Politics… PALAGING MAINIT ANG LABANAN! Tingnan nyo katatapos palang ng election,,, nagpaplano na sila sa susunod na election. Kumbaga ang demokrasya sa ating bansa ay Premature ba talaga.

  20. Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo is a cinch for the DILG portpolio if PNoy is really looking for the right man to start his presidency with a bang. I was batting earlier for VPNay but the entry of Robredo in the selection changed all that. While Makati is the financial center of the Philippines and already progressive when Binay took the helm, Naga City was a stark contrast and was just like an ordinary town compared to Iriga, Legaspi, Sorsogon and Virac in Bicolandia. Robredo transformed it to what it now and in the ensuing years, he reaped local and international recognition one after the other in the field of good governance. I’m not just relying on what I read or heard but I personally saw the transformation of Naga City and marveled how he did it. To the Bicolanos, he’s really ‘oragon’.

  21. Nathan Nathan

    Yang 130 Municipalities and Cities alam siguro yan ng Media basta isa dyan ang City namin.

    Magtanong kayo kay Maam Ellen i’m sure alam yan ni maam Ellen.

    Nice article Phil. So gawin na lang MMDA chairman yan si VPNay…

  24. Read Phil’s link

    The benefit to Aquino of doing a Garcia would be that he will have given a very strong signal to the Filipino people that he meant what he said about fighting corruption, and that he would not allow anyone tainted to work with him in the executive branch.

    Same battle cry every time there’s a new occupant — since Cory’s time — but it gets swept under the rug when euphoria dies down and same old habit comes creeping back

    Let’s hope the incoming admin will be more consistent

  25. One thing to be a mayor of a small town like Naga City and manage it successfully but another thing to manage a complex web of local governments — there will be politics involved, cultural differences to sort out, compromises to make, egos to massage

    The scale of expectations is high Can he deliver?

    On balance, I’d take a risk on the Naga mayor

    Phil Cruz, #23

    You have to understand where Monsod is coming from. She is part of the rabid Mar supporters of the elite class. Just like Mar, balimbing – from Arroyo yan. She did her part during the campaign for the LP and now she is doing her part to demolish the VP elect. I would not really put much weight on her opinion.

    Would you trust someone who was rabidly defending the Chiong sisters’ rapist killers?

    As for the DILG, I think Binay is qualified. Robredo is also qualified. It would be best to let Noynoy decide without all these hidden agenda demolition job (from those who do not like Binay).

  27. Obvious why they are fighting for the DILG position. It’s like campaigning for the next elections. But nuff of that. Bikolano ako. Familiar ako with Jess Robredo. I think we need to support and put him there. It’s worth the risk. The comparison that Naga City is small and the whole web of communities in the Philippines is diverse, the basics of local government management shown by Robredo is the same.

  28. rose rose

    high price condominium sa local towns daw ang puedeng gawin ni Binay….ano magkakaroon ng mamahaling condominium sa Antique? with due apologies to the idea sino ang bibili? maroon din seguro yong may mga kaya na mamamayan…kawawa namang tunay ang mga walang kaya…

  29. People handling DILG knows the pulse of the people thru their municipal officers nationwide. But those who were its top honcho who eyed the presidency or vice presidency, did not do well. First was Ernie Maceda, followed by Nene Pimentel. Then there was Mayor Alfredo Lim and the latest is Ronnie Puno.

    As we recall, Ronnie Puno first announced that he will be running for vice president in tandem with Gibo. He asked his constituents to do the survey on how he will fare nationwide. After the survey was made, he was asked if he needs to be told of the truth or false report? He asked for the real score and he got it, butata. So, he dropped his bid and scouted for somebody and poor Edu Manzano, he took the bait hook and sinker. Edu was clobbered into pieces.

    are you saying here that solita monsod is on the camp of gloria arroyo? i don’t think so. monsod was the neda chief of cory aquino but never served under arroyo. she wrote articles that were very critical of manny villar that in my view, helped noynoy’s cause.

  31. Oblak Oblak

    Si Binay na lang ang pumalit kay Noli De Castro sa Housing. Yung nga lang, hindi na tulad sa Makati na may condo unit din sya sa bawat mapapagawa na building. Gayahin na lang nya yung ibang naging vice president na tahimik muna then tanggapin kung ano ibibigay sa kanya. Hindi yung ibroadcast yung “hiling” sa Presidente.

    Winnie Monsod was just calling spade a spade. Yung conclusion nya, maaring mali, pero palaging based sa empirical data. Isa sya sa walang sinasanto pag nagtatanong kaya nga butatang butata si Mikey Arroyo sa kanya nung kinalkal yung hidden wealth nya.

    Dito lang ako sa tabi-tabi at heto nagmumuni-muni about sa outcome ng May 10 eleksyon!

    Finally, tinanggap na nang Ama ng Masang Noypi ang pagiging #2 sa nakaraang halalan at buong galang niyang tinatanggap ang mandato ng 15M+ na bontante.

    Kaya heto…buong puso ko ding tinatanggap ang mandato ng 15M+ na bontanteng Noypi at NAWA e magpakatotoo itong si Noy2 sa kanyang sarili at isipin ang kapakanan ng bansa.

    Dito lamang tayo upang magbantay sa kanilang pamumuno at tuloy ang laban against katiwalian at sinungaling con magnanakaw sa ating gubyerno.

    Para naman makaahon sa dusa’t hirap ang majority nating kababayang Noypi.

    At di rito natatapos ang lahat…dapat habulin ang lahat ng kurap from Gloria’s regime at panagutin sa kanilang mga kasalanang nagawa at ginawa sa bayan at mamamayang Noypi.

    Korek Igan Nathan…tsismis lang yong kwento ng ilan diyan sa lansangan.

    Sistema talaga, paanong ilalaglag ni VP Binay si citizen Erap e alam ba nila ang estratehiya ng team Eraptians? From Lakbay Pasasalamat till sa pangangampanya e di naghiwalay ang dalawa.

    Strategy lang yan…kasi nga may isyu ba na nagtirahan during the campaigned period sina citizen Erap/Mayor Binay and Noy/Mar? Di ba tahimik ang both camps about their political or personal issues.

    Di natin alam ang behind the scene na kanilang pag-uusap at makikita naman sa kanilang mga kilos at galaw na may mutual understanding ang Liberal at UNO-PMP.

    Malaki ang utang na loob ni Noy2 kay citizen Erap at itong si Mayor Binay naman e yellow original wannabees yan.

    Kaya ang logic nila dito sa May 10 eleksyon e ganito…kung si Noy2 ang palaring manalo e kailangan pumasok si Mayor Binay. If na si citizen Erap ang manalo e pasok kailangan makapasok si Mayor Binay.

    Ang talagang ilalaglag nila e si Mar kasi nga di namn yang original Yellow wannabees? Si citizen Erap at pamilya Santita Cory e nagkaroon ng ugnayang pagkakaibigan since na mag I am sorry ito after the darkest days ng EDSA DOS.

    Kaya nga pinatawad siya ng Pangulong Erap at heto tinulungan si Noy2 at nanalo nga bilang Senador.

    Kaya mahirap magspeculate sa Datos na di natin alam ang behind the scene ng kanilang relasyong personal.

    #31 isaganigatmaitan,

    She was. Not she is.
    As I said, bumalimbing na rin. Just like Mar and the other LP, they were supporters of glo even with Hello Garci, until di na ma-cover up. Kaya nga, inilaglag na nila.

    Yung Manny Villar articles were written circa 2008/9/10. They were written to help Mar when Mar was still vying for Prez with Villar as their main competitor. As I said, you have to know where she is coming from. She comes from the elite class. The elite class was supporting glo. Remember how they demolished, in the 2004 elections, all the opponents of glo. Some of their techniques were really underhanded at that time. Anyway, many (not all) of the elite class dropped glo when they could not do damage control when hello garci came out.

    The elite class was for Mar all along. Unfortunately, Mar never took off. So ginamit lang nila si Noy hoping to get Mar as vp. Now their plans failed, natalo si Mar. Kaya nga, time to destroy Bi this early so that Bi will not be influential to Noy because Bi may serve as a counterweight to the LP’s influence on Noy.

  35. perl perl

    The president should protect his presidency. Giving DILG Sec position to his VP is a big NO. Lalong-lalo na sa hindi kapartido.

    Malinaw na ang paggamit ng “NOYBI” ang nagpanalo kay VPNay. Nagamit ni VPNay si PNoy sa ganitong paraan pero nagpakita naman ito ng kataksilan kay Erap…

    Kaya nga’t hindi binoto ni Erap si Binay as VP, hindi ba?

    so pano mo pagkakatiwala ni PNoy ang DILG kay Binay?

    I agree with Winnie Monsod. DILG for Binay is All Cost, No Benefit!

    “Yung Manny Villar articles were written circa 2008/9/10. They were written to help Mar…”

    here’s an article just a month before the elections and i don’t think her intention was to promote mar roxas:

    I personally met Binay in one of the airports a year or two ago. Maliit siya, just slightly taller than me. He was cordial. The fact that he gave time to talk to me when all the other people (maybe a dozen others)wehre all competing for his attention, gave me a lasting impression on the man. He listens and do not categorize. He obviosly has the quality of a good leader. But if indeed he is corrupt (as Monsod says so), Noy should put him on a leash. My greatest fear is, Binay may do a “Gloria” at some point. Alam naman ni Binay how Noy performed in the past so may plano na yan. Noy should be on the look out and learn from Erap’s experience. I am not saying that Binay is a scheming VP but who knows. Kaya tama lang siguro na bigyan si Binay ng pwesto na hindi makakapagbigay ng masyadong kapangyarihan sa kany to undermine Noy. Common sense lang siguro ito. I would like Binay to take charge of Education. Walang pera dyan but this is where the future of our country depends. If Binay can educate all our children, saludo ako! Napabayaan na ng husto ang mga kabataan. It is about time that we pay attention to our children!

    Breaking News…. Lomobo ang utang ng Pinas!!!

    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, BUREAU OF THE TREASURY INTRAMUROS, MANILA 1002

    Funding the Republic
    Press Release

    National Government Debt Increased to P4,458.1 Billion As of March 2010

    11 June 2010, Manila, Philippines: As of March 2010, the National Government debt increased by P100.5 billion or 2.3 % from the February 2010 level. Total outstanding debt stood at P4,458.1 billion of which, P1,921.4 billion or 43% is owed to foreign creditors and P2,536.7 billion or 57% to domestic creditors.

    The domestic debt increased by P134 billion or 5.5% from the recorded end February 2010 level resulting from the net issuance of government securities made by NG.

    Note: The Department of Finance posted as Billion instead as Trillion but i think theres a typical ERROR because last press released the countries latest debt was 4,357,600,000,000.00 Trillion Pesos.

    Well… back to Politics, Hehehe!

    The truth is… its hurts for the LP party especially kay Noy at Mar kasi NANALO si Binay! Yan ang politics natin… politics muna bago ang bayan.

    But i’m sure Noynoy will give a certain position to Binay kahit ano lang (basta not DILG kasi magaling si Binay dyan yan ang field of expertise nya) nakakahiya naman sa administration niya kung ipapahalata nila ang galit nila kay Binay.

    Pero sinabi naman ni Binay na… kung walang TIWALA sa aking ang Presidente, hindi ko ipipilit ang sarili ko.

    Traditionally, the position of VP always belong to the opposite party of the pres. except during GMAs time but we all know why that happened. Thanks to the Partido ng MP, Binay won. He wouldnt have made if he was with another party. Can you think of any other besides Binay to be DILG sec. since Robredo declined? Lets hear names. Lacson, Duterte for peace and order?

  45. Jun Si? Corrupt yan. He was backing up some claimants to UP land employing some fabricated Spanish title. He was one of the “influential people” interested in litigation over UP land.

    Ask the former personnel of then RTC judge Delilah Vidallon-Magtolis. – sax

    Ellen, si Jun Simon yung mayor ng Quezon City kung saan dalawang beses sa isang taon kung masunog yung records section ng Registry of Deeds pati Land Registry ng City Hall. At itong sinasabi ni sax ang dahilan. Grabeng landgrabbing ang nangyari diyan sa QC kung saan malalaking lupa ang napatitulohan ng kung sinu-sino na sa huli ay pinaglabanan sa mga korte sa pamamagitan ng pera.

    Dito nagsulputan ang mga pekeng titulo ng lupang sakop ng UP (Krus na Ligas, Balara, Congressional etc.). Dito rin nagsulputan yung mga kagaya ni Cong. Susano na may-ari daw ng pinakamalaking squatter’s area malapit sa Batasan, yung mga lupain nila Tuason (FG) na di raw maabot ng tingin sa sobrang laki, pati na yung titulo ng lupang nilandgrab daw ni Trillanes at marami pa.

    Ang pinaka-latest ay yung desisyon sa 300 hectares ng Maysilo Estate na pinaglabanan ng mga Dimson-Rivera vs. Manotok-Araneta. At yung 34 hectares ng Matandang Balara nina Barque vs. Manotok.

    Pipitsugin lang si Simon bago naging mayor ng QC. Pagkatapos ay bilyunayo na yata.

    And what is this talk about Robredo declining, according to Jake Las Pinas? Ginoogle ko, wala.

    Conditioning ba yan? O kuryente, like Binay’s being offered the DOTC, na hindi naman daw totoo, according to Lacierda?

    Napakahigpit naman ng jockeying for positions. Huwag sanang ma-box-out yung deserving, tulad ng nangyari kay Lookin’ at Lucky sa Kentucky derby.

    Offered na daw si Padaca, in preparation for next year. Earlier, PNoy signified his interest in appointing his cousin Gibo. After the year’s wait, I recommend the DOJ. Kailangan ng malinis diyan, and there has not been any accusation of Gibo being on the take. He might just be the guy to clean up the drug-lord-connected, bukas-palad prosecutors of RaulGon.

    You never know, baka ang mag-pinsan ay maging parang JFK/RFK tandem of the 60s. Ingat lang, dahil both JFK and RFK riled up the mob; and there is sufficient evidence na ang mga gangster ay may kinalaman sa pagpaslang sa magkapatid

  47. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    Sorry. Impostor, not imposter.

  48. Interesting itong agawan ng lupa sa QC. May titulo ang mga Manotok dated May 1917 pero naglabas din yung Dimson ng titulo dated April 1917. Ang tanga naman ng LRA noong panahong iyon. Pagkalaki-laking lupa, tinitulohan nila ng isang buwan ang pagitan sa magkaibang partido. Peke sigurado ang isa dito.

    Sabi ng LRA peke daw yung kay Dimson.

    The Land Registration Authority (LRA), however, has said the Dimson OCT is spurious, that it is non-existent and that it could have been “an elaborate scam perpetrated at the Caloocan City Register of Deeds.” The register of deeds, lawyer Yolanda Alfonso, and her deputy, Norberto Vasquez Jr., admitted during a Senate investigation that they changed the date of the Rivera title to April 19, 1917 for unexplained reasons, for which reason both of them have been charged criminally.

    Testimonies in previous court cases also established that Vidal was only 9 years old when Decree 36455 over the land was issued on Dec. 3, 1912, while her supposed grandson, Bartolome Rivera, was already 65 years old when he testified in a Pasig court in 1963. “This is a fantastic case of the grandson being older than the grandmother,” said a report of the Land Registration Commission (now the LRA) in 1981.

    Bartolome was the only surviving son of Severo Rivera, a son of Vidal who died in 1907. The mother was only 4 years old when she gave birth to Severo!

    Sino sa palagay ninyo ang kinatigan ng Supreme Court, si Rivera o si Manotok?

    Si Rivera.

  49. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    Ganyan din yung dinismiss ni Judge Magtolis. The grandson, of the original title holder (title under grandfather and father)who testified in court, turned out to be 14 years older than his father.

    In the other case, before Judge Peralejo, an OCT was allegedly issued by the Register of Deeds of Manila. Oops, noong prewar, lahat ng titulo to land in the QC area (wala pang QC, buhay pa si Quezon), ay hawak ng Register of Deeds of Pasig.

    I have a theory that all prewar OCTs may have copies in microfilm at the library of Congress (records of the colonial government). Kaya lang, the two times that I was in DC, were weekends, at sarado ang Library of Congress.

    I am really interested in the OCT of the descendants of Son Tua, dahil may nagsabing ganyan daw ang land-grabbing noon, iibahin ang technical description ng lupa, para lumawak.

  51. Alam ko merong Registry ng Pinas na nasa Spain. Hmmm. kaya ba laging nagpupunta sa Spain yung isang tao?

    Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable Mathematical logic What make 100%? A government worker does??? What does it mean to give more than 100%? Ever wonder about those people say there giving more than 100%.We have all been to those meetings,where someone wants you to give more over 100%. How about achieving 103%?. What makes up 100% in life? Here a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these. QUESTION: if A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y&Z,then it will be represented by numerical 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25&26. THEN: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98% AND K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96% But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100%(perfect} And: B-U_L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20=103%,and the most public servants acquired are these and look how far Asskissing will take them. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+19+19+9+14+7=118%{WOW what accomplishment} So one can conclude with mathematical certainty that HARDWORK and KNOWLEDGE will get you close,and attitude will get you there,its the BULLSHIT and ASSKISSING that will put them over the TOP.

  55. sychitpin sychitpin

    100% for attitude is good enough, more than 100% is already too good to be true.

  56. sychitpin sychitpin

    Jesse Robredo is highly recommended to be in Noynoy’s cabinet in whatever capacity, he has integrity, courage and competence like Gov Panlilio, Gov Padaca, Jun Lozada, Conrado de Quiros, Billy Esposo, Jarius Bondoc, Lito Banayo, Fr Jerry Orbos, Risa Hontiveros, Leah Navarro, Martin Bautista, etc….

  57. sychitpin sychitpin

    Government position must be viewed as an opportunity to serve the country honestly and selflessly, and not the usual crooked attitude of using it to commit graft and selfish motive. Filing charges against corrupt top gov’t officials and judges will show determination of PBSA’s resolve to fullfill his campaign promise……. its the beginning of a new era for the Philippines……….

Lim, Miranda & Co.? and the sufferings of their family? mababalik ba? they were victims of putot”s ambitions and greed…nakakalungkot!

    ampatuan lawyer atty sigfrid fortun should also be disbarred for selling justice and defending a multi-murderer client

  62. Oblak Oblak

    Huwag naman synchitpin, nagtatrabaho lang naman ang mga Fortun brothers. They should not be sanctioned for representing hardcore criminals. Pero kung may ginagawang hokus pokus at mapatunayan, pwede nang idisbar.

  63. balweg balweg

    RE: Huwag naman synchitpin, nagtatrabaho lang naman ang mga Fortun brothers.

    KOREK Igan Oblak…what’s wrong if na ang naging parokyano ng Fortun brothers e killers? Being a lawyer…di basta basta ang Fortun brothers, de kalibre ang mga ito kaya nagkataon na sila ang kinuhang taga-depensa ng mga Ampatuans.

    Problema yan ng gov’t prosecutors kung papaano nila ipapanalo ang kasong ito…well, lamang na sila dahil sa may ibendensya laban sa mga Ampatuans.

    Ngayon…di ba hustisya ang sigaw ng sambayanang Noypi at lalo na ang mga pamilya ng mga naging biktima. So, dapat upuan ito ng maayos ng gov’t prosickutors para matapos na ang usaping ito.

    Ang problema…itong Fortun brothers ang kinakastigo na bakit daw kailangang idipensa ang mga kriminal…demokrasya mga Igan, karapatan ng mga akusado na kumuha ng intilehente and the best lawyers kasi nga ang daming bopol na abugago sa gobyerno de bobo ng rehime kaya pagnaHocus-PISO ang mga iyan e NOT GUITLY ang hatol!

    Ganyang kajejemon ang mga atorni de kampanilya sa Pinas…PISO-PISO ang usapan kung walang amuyong at sipsip na mag AB.ZTE..FG tapos ang isyu…bye bye na lang sa paghihimutok ng butsi.

    Ibig sabihin Igan Sychitpin na ang mga abugado e wlang karapatang magserbisyo o ipagtanggol ang mga kriminal?

    If this is the situation…dapat tanggalin na ang timbangan ng hustisya sa Korte Suprema at pagguilty without due process e ikulong o kaya bitayin.

    Yan ang nagpapahirap sa Pinas…ang extra-judicial killings, walang litis-litis…itumba kaagad o kaya 10ft below the ground ang parusa.

    Demokraysa Igan…bayaan nating gumulong ang hustisya at kung sino ang may sala e patawan ng parusa.

    Noynoy eyes Naga City mayor for DILG post
    http://www.gmanews.tv/story/193555/noynoy-eyes-naga-city-mayor-for-dilg-post
    Robredo, in a separate interview, said he would accept whatever government post Aquino assigns him to. “He can assign me to where he believes I can perform best,” he said.

    Aquino, however, admitted that Robredo — as well as Binay, the outgoing mayor of Makati City — are just among the five choices he has for the DILG post. But this early, he has already expressed apprehension about giving the position to Binay.

    Sorry na lang si Binay.. at hindi totoong nag-declined si Robredo for DILG post…

  67. sychitpin sychitpin

    in the case of the Ampatuan massacre wherein overwhelming evidences and witnesses point to guilt of the Ampatuan beyond any reasonable doubt,a good lawyer should have the moral conscience not to defend a multi murderer

    democracy also means doing what is right, much more than just the freedom to do something obviously wrong

  68. sychitpin sychitpin

    more freedom comes with greater responsibility

  69. Nathan Nathan

    From: Prospero De Vera and Benito Lim of UP and Ateneo

    Reasons why Aquino’s and LP Party afraid of Binay:

    But even if he may not be the next DILG secretary, Binay will play an indispensable role in the Aquino administration. De Vera said that Aquino would need Binay’s experience. “Binay can provide the Aquino presidency with stability. He had Binay experience far beyond what Noynoy Aquino ever had,” he said.

    “No doubt about it, [Binay] is smarter. He has a better grasp of national issues,” Lim said.

    De Vera also clarified that the people voted Binay not because they were aware that Binay’s qualifications were better than Aquino’s. “I don’t think they elected him with any reference to Noynoy,” said De Vera. They went for him because “he has done miracles in Makati City.”

    And when voters are able to appreciate a politician for who he is and what he has accomplished as an individual—not in reference to a running mate or to some borrowed popularity from a famous relative—that politician’s candidacy becomes all the more formidable.

    If Binay can successfully introduce reforms as DILG secretary, he will gain the public’s confidence and trust and “rival Aquino’s popularity.

    But why they are afraid of Binay??? Sila ang may hawak ng Malacanang,sila nag may hawak ng Gobyerno, dalawang (2) dosena ang kanyang Secretary, bakit sila takot kay Binay??? nag-iisa lang si Binay. Kung pulitiko si Binay… parehas lang sila mayroong GOAL, mas lamang pa nga ang LP kung tutuusin.

    Dahil ba magaling si Binay sa Local Government kaya sila takot??

    Bayan muna bago sarili… huwag nilang kalimutan yan!

  70. Oblak Oblak

    Sychitpin:

    “a good lawyer should have the moral conscience” is an oxymoron.

  71. chi chi

    Nathan, I don’t think Noynoy is afraid of Binay, it’s the LP leadership that is. Binay has been part of Cory’s political and personal life and the children know it, they can’t just shrug that away. But because Noynoy is LP, he has to toe the line.

    Tingnan mo, bakit gusto nya na mag one-on-one si Chiz (ID with Binay) and Mar? Kasi, hindi nya maitatapon basta si Binay na aminin at hindi ng yellows ay malaking dagdag na boto sa pagkapanalo ng bet nila.

    Tatakbo uli si Mar sa 2016 and so is Binay, yan ang totoo. Kaya nasa pag-itan ng nag-uuntugang bato si Noynoy.

  72. sychitpin sychitpin

    #72: in fairness to lawyers, a few of them were also human with moral conscience, its unfair to generalize lawyers as immoral creatures

  73. Oblak Oblak

    Agree ako kay Madam Chi. Sensitive lang si Aquino sa kalagayan ng natalo nyang vice kaya hindi ganun kainit ang turing nya kay Binay. Kung tutuusin nga mas dilaw si Binay kaysa kay Roxas.

    Sa 2016 ay 73 na si Binay. Kung mananalo sya ang pinakamatandang presidente at magiging Reagan ng Pilipinas.

  74. sychitpin sychitpin

    sorry #73 should be addressed to #71 instead

  75. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    It seems people are lining up either behind Binay or Robredo. Ito naman ang sa akin. Hindi ko sila kilala galing kay Malakas (I do not know them from Adam).

    Makati is resource-laden. Any problem it has can be bludgeoned with money and other resources. So it makes me wonder if improvements are the product of good management, or availability of resources.

    In the case of Naga City, it is poor. So any improvement can only be attributable to good management.

  76. Nathan Nathan

    Kung yellow Fever ang pag-uusapan … mas matagal ng Yellow si Binay.

    Si Roxas kaya siya nalaglag kasi hindi sya yellow Fever,,, napansin nyo si Noynoy yellow… with ribbon kay Tita Cory… si Roxas kulay BLUE… kaya ayon nalaglag sya. Si Roxas din ang dapat sisihin kasi hindi sya sumabay sa YELLOW FEVER. Sobrang tiwala sa sarili niya ayon kay Prof. Benito Lim of Ateneo.

    Pero bottom line here is a Public Service… “Bayan muna bago Sarili” set aside politics. Hindi pa ba sapat na sa kanila na ang Malacanang, lahat ng government offices buong Pilipinas. Nag-iisa lang yan si Binay… for god sake. Bakit ang galit nila kay Binay ang paiiralin??? Kaming hindi taga Manila nangangarap na magkaroon ng isang fiscalizer na hahawak sa DILG para naman magkaroon ng Reform hindi Recycle. Reform… reform.. reform…. forget politics muna, forget partido muna.

    Sabihin nila baka gamitin ni Binay ang office para sa kanyang ambisyon…. lahat naman sila may ambisyon… the have the same GOAL ang maangkin ang Malacanang… mas lamang pa nga sila nagyon kaysa kay Binay.

    Bayan muna bago sarili!
