Tamano blocked in Senate,tapped for PLM presidency

Former Genuine Opposition spokesman Adel Tamano’s appointment as general counsel of the Senate blue ribbon committee was allegedly blocked by majority leader Francis Pangilinan at around the same time the latter was nominated by Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim to chair the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

Senate sources said the animosity between Pangilinan and Tamano which started during the campaign for the May elections was the reason for Pangilinan’s move. The source said the senator, who does not want to see Tamano in the Senate, went to Senate President Manuel Villar when he learned about Tamano’s impending appointment to the BRC.

It was Tamano who reportedly gave Pangilinan an ultimatum to attend the GO proclamation rally and its sorties if he wanted to be drafted into the GO senatorial lineup. Pangilinan stuck to his independent stance and was subsequently dropped from the opposition slate. He won his senatorial bid just the same.

Pangilinan, in a text message to reporters, said: “Until the appointment is made, there is nothing to oppose. Let’s just wait for the decision of the chair on the matter. As ex-officio member of the Blue Ribbon Committee, I will make my position known at the appropriate time.”

Tamano said in a telephone interview that he will not accept the BRC counsel’s post even if chair Alan Peter Cayetano offers it to him. “There are many issues already raised against Alan and I would not like to add to that. Sa mga naririnig ko, ayoko nang tanggapin kung i-offer man sa akin ang posisyon,” he said, adding that Cayetano can find another lawyer for the post.

He also clarified that he was not the one who issued Pangilinan an ultimatum. “Actually nga, ako ang kumausap sa GO leaders na i-suspend muna ang desisyon sa kanya, Liberal Party (Pangilinan’s political party) is part of GO at hindi puwedeng i-bypass ang LP.”

Cayetano, in another interview, confirmed that Pangilinan asked to be consulted, along with other members of the committee, before the appointment of a general counsel.

Tamano said he feels honored by the PLM nomination but he will not celebrate until his appointment is official. He said his leadership style at PLM will be based on consultation.

“I can describe my leadership as a leadership by consensus. I would want me and my subordinates to first lay down the plans and then together come up with a consensus,” he said.

The consultations, he said, will involve “everybody,” from the faculty members to the community around the school. – JP Lopez and Gerard Naval

    Pangilinan purports to be for ‘the people’ but by his actions to block Tamamo is certainly not in favour of ‘the people’ its a personal vendetta – it shows the true color of Pangilinan and that he can’t be trusted in government.

  2. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    You cannot keep a good, popular man down , Tamano will shine believe me. We already know that Tamano couldn’t be trusted and reflects on the attitude of the wednesday Club members – one for all and all for one. himself!

  3. goji goji

    Now we can say again “I told you so”. Who now say Kiko Pangilinan is an independent and not with administration? Just like his famous “Mr. Noted” mark during the vote canvassing, this time it’s “Mr. Blocker” for blocking Tamano’s nomination. Pangilinan got his order from the Palace. Due to delicadeza, Tamano declined the offer.

  4. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    Wow! my mistake – should read we already know that Pangilinan couldn’t be trusted – Sori for that mistake.

    Aroy-oy…pikon pala si Mr. Noted Cuneta. Ayaw niyang makita si Adel sa senado. Paano kasi pangit siya. Pag andoon si Adel, siya ang star dahil bukod na sa magaling guwapo pa.

  6. luzviminda luzviminda

    Adel Tamano is the perfect choice for the position of PLM prexy. Intelligent, Dynamic ang young, students will surely be inspired. Being an alumna of the school, I wish that everything will be put in order. Adel Tamano is the MAN!

  7. Jadenlou Jadenlou

    Hell hath no fury like a senator scorned.

    Parang babae pala itong si Mr. Noted. At sino ang gusto niyang ilagay na legal counsel ng blue ribbon aber? Ahhh…siguro yung mapapaikot nila ang ulo at handang baliin ang batas.

    Kiko, style mo bulok.

  8. luzviminda luzviminda

    Insecure kasi si Kiko Pangil-inan. Wala siyang handsome face na katulad ni Adel. Nag-gagaling-galingan na si Mr Pikon Pangilinan. O baka naman takot siyang lumabas ang kabaklaan niya pag nakita si Adel. Haaaay! Ang Guwapo mo Adel!

  9. luzviminda luzviminda

    Pero para sa akin, Mr. NOTED pa rin siya. Tuta pa rin siya ni Gloria. Ever since naman eh hindi lang Mr. NOted si Pangilinan. Mr. USER pa! He used/using Ms. Cuneta for his political career. Talunang konsehal iyan nuon sa Quezon City. A certified Traditional Politician!

  10. goji goji

    Luzminda, Kiko is now called “Mr. Blocker”. No matter how a leopard hides his color, it would show one day. Kiko is not the only one, though. Watch out for the other senators especially those who claim to be true opposition.

  11. luzviminda luzviminda

    goji,

    Marami talagang “opposition senators”(daw), ang lalabas ang tunay na kulay, yung mga nag-playing safe nuong May election dahil tagilid talaga sila kung kumabit sila kay Gloria. Obvious dyan yung mga taga-Wednesday group na identified naman talaga kay EngEngkantada.

  12. Jadenlou Jadenlou

    wwnl;
    Definitely Kiko Pangit Pangil-inan can not be trusted. Puro noted lang yan. I-noted na lang natin sa susunod na election ay hindi na siya mananalo tulad ni Recto.

    Hala internet commandos ng Ellenvile, bira lang ng bira.

  13. martina martina

    Alisin mo ang Sharon Cuneta kay Kiko at makikita niya na wala pala siyang binatbat.

  14. parasabayan parasabayan

    Gee, parang bata itong si Mr Noted! E ano kung magiging adviser ni Alan si Adel! He is a bright lawyer and he can be an asset to the Senate! Adel’s young blood will rejuvenate and envigorate the very serious sanate job lalo na sa Blue Ribbon comittee. Iniisip ko pa lang ang dami ng isasampang kaso kay tiyanak, nalulunod na ako!

    Losing admin bets in May polls
    to get government positions

    ——————————————————————————–

    MALACAÑANG yesterday said administration candidates who lost in the May 14 elections are likely to be given positions in government corporations and financial institutions and sequestered firms.

    “That is highly probable. Nothing would prevent the President from tapping them. These people are highly qualified, they have very good experience, and the members of Team Unity can very well be tapped by the President for some things,” Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said.

    http://www.malaya.com.ph/aug09/metro3.htm

    talaga naman, hoho!

    la’at sila magsasamasama sa pag-‘ut’ot sa hating kabang bayan. marami naman diyang mas merong kakaya’an upang mamalakad o mapalagay sa ha’ensiya ng pama’alahan bakit ‘yung mga naging talunang kandidato sa nakaraang ‘alalan?

    ‘ayup talaga. walang’iya!

    Leonard;
    Gets ko na ang ibig mong sabihin.We have the same time-zone.

  22. cocoy cocoy

    Leonard:
    Kumusta naman iyong mga DNA results ng mga anak mo.Positive ba?Hehehehe! Iyong DNA result ng bunsong anak ng kumpare ko ay negative at na-reject.Visa denied.Inamin naman ng kanyang misis na hindi niya naiwasang sumablt sa suki niyang tricycle driver,Pati tuloy iyong misis ng kumpare ko ay ipina-reject na niya.Kawawang misis,hindi siya nakarinig ng”Ladies and gentleman,fasten your set-belt”

  23. Leonard Leonard

    Cocoy, kaya nga pinilit kong makuha ang misis ko papunta rito sa lugar ko dahil baka nga masabitan pa ni kumpare, 3 credit ko ang nasagad sa pagkuha ko sa misis ko at 2 dalawa ko pang anak, actually 5 lahat sila at lahat ay napagtiyagaan kong madala dito sa aking lugar…. Magastos nga pero,, gaya nga ng sabi mo mahirap na,,, yung isang taon na wala kang katabi sa kama, sus, penitensiya yon, e kung masalisihan pa ni kumpare, mas matindi yon.. Ang problema nga e yung mga papeles na dapat na ayusin… ang laki ng binayaran ko sa gobyerno natin, sabi ko nga yung isang taon kong kita ay halos doon lang pumasok sa mga dokumento … So far ayos naman ang DNA test nila… At saka menopause na si misis kaya kung mangaliwa man siya e hindi na magkakaanak, pero hindi naman, maayos naman si kumander,,,, gusto ko lang talaga na maranasan nila na sumakay sa eroplano at higit sa lahat makita ng dalawang mata nila kung paano kahirap kumita ng pera sa ibang bansa kasama na ang lungkot at hirap na dinaranas ng mga nagtatrabaho sa abroad. Sa ngayon nga e, may trabaho na yung dalawa kong anak… Yung isa nga e medyo pinalad ng konti , mas malaki pa ang suweldo sa akin… Sabi ko nga anak,,,yung balato ko , tulungan mo ako sa pag-papaaral sa iba mo pang kapatid… ayos naman .. mabait na bata yung anak ko… kaya medyo gipit pa rin pero nakakaraos naman , ang mahalaga kasama ko sa abroad ang pamilya ko.

  24. Ho Well, I guess this things can happen if Villar sleeps with the administration.

    Biro mo yung mismong GO spokesperson na kakampi ni Villar na-veto ni “independent” candidate Kiko Noted Pangilinan, as Senate Blue Ribbon lead counsel. Noted, Kiko, Noted!

    Former Genuine Opposition spokesman Adel Tamano’s appointment as general counsel of the Senate blue ribbon committee was allegedly blocked by majority leader Francis Pangilinan at around the same time the latter was nominated by Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim to chair the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

    Senate sources said the animosity between Pangilinan and Tamano which started during the campaign for the May elections was the reason for Pangilinan’s move.

Pangilinan stuck to his independent stance and was subsequently dropped from the opposition slate. He won his senatorial bid just the same.

    Naku, bakit pa nagalit itong si noted. Ayaw naman talaga niyang sumali sa GO eh.

    Ipinilit lang ng LP si Kiko Noted sa opposition, kahit na alam nilang mas panig sa Wednesday group ito at sa admin. Kaya 11 lang ang candidates ng GO dahil sa agreement ng LP at Opposition na isama si Noted no matter what.

    http://www.politicaljunkie.blogspot.com/2007/03/kiko-pangilinan.html

  25. Basta sa akin, sira na si Villar noon pa, at itong si Cayetano at Escudero. Sayang sila! Wala rin palang ibubuga, puro yabang lang!

    Anybody conniving with the devil and his advocates, para sa akin, demonyo rin. Nakakangitngit ang madenggoy kasi although sa totoo lang ang concentration naman namin noong election ay si Senator Trillanes at Koko Pimentel. Iyong iba, oarang panakip butas lang. Kakalungkot!

    Sabi nga, between two evils, one should choose the lesser evil. Yuck!

  26. Chabeli Chabeli

    The gull of a mediocre lawyer, Pangilinan aka, Mr. Noted, has not proven mucho by “..does not want to see Tamano in the Senate”.

    Tamano is a far better sight – brains & looks – than Mr. Noted !

    It’s probably also jealousy on the part of Pangilinan.

  27. Kung may ibubulgar si Cayetano, ibulgar na niya pero with the kind of police, prosecutor and justice system the Philippines has right now with a criminal even able to defy the court as when she handed over a convicted US soldier to the US embassy without letting the presiding judge who gave the verdict know about it, forget it. Hindi mapro-prosecute ang mag-asawang magnanakaw!

    Bibilib ako kay Cayetano kapag may nagawa na siya. Otherwise, manigas siya! It’s up to him to take the challenge of exposing the Pidals kung talagang matapang siyang ilabas ang mga ebidensiya niya. Tignan natin ang tapang niya.

  28. AK-47 AK-47

    mukha na lang ni sha-kiko pangilinan-Cuneta ay wala na akong tiwala ! lalo pa pag nagsasalita, ay naku po. hnde ko alam kung anong itatawag ko sa kanya. bahala na kayo mga folks !

  29. Mrivera Mrivera

    hano ba naman ang ma’i’ita mo d’yan kay kiko? habugado nga wala namang nahipanalong kaso. kung ‘indi pa napangasawa ng magastar sharon kantora buti kung manalong senador ‘yan?

    ‘ay naku, ba’ala siya sa bu’ay niya kung ayaw niyang makasama sa senado si hadel tamano.

  30. luzviminda luzviminda

    MRivera,

    Tama ka, WALANG naipalanalong kaso yan si Mr. Noted. Nag-abugado lang naman yan para sa kanyang ambisyong pampulitika at hindi para makatulong sa mga dapat ipagtanggol. Talunan sa pagiging konsehal sa kanilang distrito. Kaya pinakasalan si Ms Cuneta, mapera na panalo pa mukha.Jackpot ika nga. Kung hindi sa impluwensiya ni Ms Sharon eh baka barangay captain eh di pa manalo. At isipin din na nakinabang din siya sa mga pandaraya nitong eleksyon. Tuso talaga ang matsing!

  31. rose rose

    Ka umpisa pa lang nila harangan na..how can the country move forward if people like Mr. Noted who claims to be independent and in the opposition does this. Opposition nga siya kasi kung hindi para sa kanya oppose siya. At any rate we note this and remember him as such. Noted na siya and we will remember..malapit na ang 2010..Hanggang diyan ka na lang..Noted and we will take note.
    Sayang nga kung hindi maging counsel ng BRC si Tamano. But it is blessing for the youth..the future of our country if he accepts the PLM presidency..he will be an inspiration to them..

  32. rose rose

    As for Cayetano if he truly wants to serve the country..though we lost our trust in him..he can most probably still redeem himself..huwag lang siya magkaroon ng lapses-on the Pidal accounts.. don’t be a Bedol & say.. evidences? they were stolen.. or say what accounts? I don’t remember..honest wala it was an honest mistake that I brought it out..after all I want to be senator..sori..sa 2010 I will remember..I need to be pang gulo, or katulong sa pang gulo..malaking pera yon. Let’s just be vigilant and watch their moves.

  33. kulitus kulitus

    kung ayaw ng malacanang na si adel tamano ang maging legal counsel ng BRC, eh di si koko pimentel na lang ang kunin. pero malamang si dayang-dayang naman ang mag rereklamo.

    hintay na lang tayo kung sino hahawak ng karera ng daga sa perya ng senado.

  34. Rose,

    Kiko, opposition? No way! Balimbing pa, OK! This guy should not have been voted as a matter of fact. Dapat tinandaan ng mga pilipino ang ginawa niya noong 2004. Hindi dapat iyan kinumbida sa Genuine Opposition. Puro kaplastikan! Talagang kulang sa discernment ang mga pilipino. Litung-lito. Hindi alam ang masama sa mabuti!

    Kawawang bansa!

    A little off-topic (a portion of the recent news item):

    “The former rival of Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. in the battle for the Speakership of the House of Representatives of the current Congress, Cebu Rep. Pablo Garcia, has broken his vow of not accepting any position in the lower chamber after being allegedly cheated of his winning the top post of the House by De Venecia.

    Garcia last week even declined an offer by De Venecia to head a Philippine delegation to the United Nations Assembly, saying he was not seeking for any position in the House but for “real reforms” in it.

    But yesterday Garcia, in an apparent change of heart, accepted another offer from De Venecia to be the chairman of the House committee on revision of laws.”

    My comment and analysis: The fight between JDV and Garcia was just a show. One of the reasons was to prevent opposition from threatening JDV’s Speaker post. Many were taken for a ride by such a deception. The two prove to be good actors. And the Director was no other then the woman in the Palace.

  37. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    I think the unfolding future in Congress will show that you could be right in your analysis but their acting wasn’t that good – didn’t fool us for a start – smile.

  38. chi chi

    Mas gusto ba ni Adel ang PLM?

    Mas makakagawa s’ya ng maganda sa university dahil bata pa s’ya, pero mas gusto ko sana na lawywer s’ya sa BRC. Mas exciting at makakakutulong ng malaki na ma-expose ang kawalanghiyaan ng pekeng administrasyong ito!

    And if he has a plan to run for a senator in 2010, he can easily make his name even more popular than before.

  39. chi chi

    Itong si Kiko Noted Cuneta ay talagang hindi mapagkakatiwalaan. Mas pogi at marunong kasi sa kanya si Adel kaya ayaw niya ito sa Senado.

    Patakbuhing lawyer kasi itong si Mr. Cuneta. Abugago!

    If he plans to run for VP in 2010, kakain s’ya ng alikabok sa amin!

  40. chi chi

    Walang K si Mr. Noted para magalit kay Adel dahil independent daw s’ya! So, kahit sinabihan pa s’ya binigyan pa s’ya ni Adel ng ultimatum na umatend ng GO rally ay wala siyang dapat ikagalit.

    Parang batang retarded itong si Kiko Noted. Nagsumbong sa kanyang Daddy Money Villar e nakaamba pa lang si Adel!

    Si Noted at Money na lang ang magsama, tutal ay pareho silang traydor at palundag-lundag!

  41. Takot si Kiko kay Tamano kasi alam niya siguro na hindi uubra ang kagaguhan niya if Tamano is there at the BRC.

    Hopefully, Tamano will remain humble and true to his commitments. Mahirap ang umakyat ang yabang sa ulo niya for all the adulation that Opposition supporters have accorded him.

    Dapat diyan sa mga Senador, et al, hindi binibigyan ng sobrang power para magyabang na iba-block nila ang mga gusto ng mga taumbayan na makaupo. Sobra ang hangin ng ungas. It makes my blood boil really to hear these crooks say things as if they alone have the privilege and power to do those things without even any consideration of what the public think and want done.

    Puro kayabangan, nakakainis!

  42. goji goji

    Two things some of you may still not know about Tamano: He’s a Muslim. He only speaks English and cannot speak Tagalog.

  43. gokusen gokusen

    goji,

    yeah…you’re right he’s muslim from mainland mindanao, and fighter of principle takot si Kiko na may kokontrang senado muslim sa kanilang kabuktutan kasi alam niya ang muslim na may prinsipyo di nagbebenta ng karangalan at dignidad…
    thanks…

  44. goji goji

    In 2010, Tamano would run for the Senate. Let’s be patient and soon he would be in the Senate. Gokusen, are we related?
    Go-kusen and Go-ji. We have the same family name…GO.

  45. gokusen gokusen

    goji…

    uy…gets ko na joke mo ngayon…ooooh…GO…genuine opposition…hehehehe

  46. gokusen gokusen

    in my own point of view…since Adel is son of Ex-Sen. Mamintal Tamano of Lanao del sur…maraming alam si Adel lalo na sa mga kaperahan ng bayan..since his father is one of the founder of Amanah Bank…di sila papayag…
    2. Kiko is one of those senators na nanahimik sa investigation ng collusion between abu and military upon the order of the priestess of malacanang..
    Sana nga lang wish ko lang don’t follow Nur Misuari’s footprint na masyado ring nakiayon sa mga nakapaligid sa kanya…

  47. rose rose

    ok lang kung hindi siya marunong magtagalog..marami rin sa mga bisaya o sa mga ilocano ay ganoon..thus English is much easier to communicate..
    Hindi ba ang asawa ni mega star ay nag aral din sa Harvard?
    Ano ang tinapos niya sa Harvard?
    Yuko: ang opposition ni Mr. Noted..pag hindi para sa kanya ay oppose siya kaagad..soon he will be but opus ng cigarilyo..a mere butt…puede rin sa pwet na lang siya..

  48. So what kung nag-aral si Noted sa Harvard? Huwag kang maniwalang hindi marunong mag-tagalog iyan.

    Rose, he came to Tokyo in 2003 and my group and I met him re preservation of UP, which happens to be his Alma Mater, too. Tagalog ang usapan. Walang nag-i-ingles. Ako nga galing pa ng Oxford U and have lived overseas longer than I have lived in the Philippines, pero hindi ko nakakalimutan ang Tagalog kasi iyan ang isa sa mga wikang natutunan ko nang maliit pa ako. Gago na lang yata ang makakalimot sa national language ng Pilipinas lalo na kung ipinanganak naman pagkatapos ng WWII. Kung nanay ko nga, Ilocana. lumakit at nagkaisip doon, marunong ng tagalog e, at hindi niya nakalimutan kahit na half a century na siya sa Tate.

    Anak ko nga never been to the Philippines, pero marunong ng Tagalog e. Natutunan niya sa mother ko kahit na kung kausap niya ang mga pamangkin kong kano, ingles ang usapan nila. Sumasagot sa nanay ko sa Tagalog kapag kinakausap niya. Japanese accent nga lang.

    Tanong, bakit nga ba ikinahihiya ng mga pilipino ang pambansang wika nila? Inutil din ano?

  49. Ako may kaibigan, pure Chinese, pero ipinanganak sa Pilipinas. Scholar sa Japan before at nagtratrabaho na ngayon sa Tokyo, pero usapan namin Tagalog, hindi kami nag-i-ingles o nag-ja-Japanese kahit na matatas kami sa ingles o wikang hapon. Feeling patriotic kasi kami kapag nag-uusap kami ng Tagalog.

    Mas gusto ko kesa naman mabulol ako kung kausap ko pilipino na ang tindi ng accent gaya nitong mga nakakasuyang pilipino dito sa Tate na pilit na pilit na gustong maging kano pero hindi naman bagay. O loko, sabakan ko nga ng Queen’s English tapos haluan ko ng puntong hapon!!! Ang sarap mang-inis!!! 😛

    mrivera,
    ikaw nmn masyado kang agresibo ! sa pagmamadali ni ystakei sa pag type may nakalimutan sya, dapat ganito: ” “Tanong, bakit nga ba ikinahihiya ng mga “IBANG” pilipino ang pambansang wika nila? Inutil din ano?”

    nakita mo na ung nakalimutan nya? kung ikaw nga sinabi mo “yung sila lang” eh di pati ako sinama mo na rin !

  53. goji goji

    Mrivera and AK-47, just a humble observation from me: Ystakei indeed has the habit of generalizing all the Filipinos. She often makes remarks like: You Filipinos…The Filipinos…These Filipinos. Let’s remind our good friend that there are still a lot of nice decent Filipinos around other than those corrupt and bad ones we see mostly in Arroyo’s government. But I don’t think Ystakei means harm. She might only be so disappointed with the corrupt system of the Filipinos.

  54. luzviminda luzviminda

    AK-47,

    Ibig sabihin kasama sa partido “It-Depends then” si Mr. NOTED Pangilinan! Kung saan siya makikinabang duon siya. Maski mamangka sa dalawang(o tatlong)ilog. Nahawa na ng ‘kaplastikan’ kay Shawie.

  55. AK-47 AK-47

    goji,
    i agree with you, ystakei often makes her remarks in general when addressing the filipino people, but i feel same like you that she don’t meant it a harm beacuse i know it’s because of her anger, emotions and disappointment to what is happening in our country now. in fact, i really admire her patriotism.

  56. AK-47 AK-47

    lvm,
    plastik din pala si shawie? di ko ata alam yon! basta “noted” na yan dito sa ellenville. hnde na sya mananalo sa susunod.

  57. goji goji

    AK-47, ystakei is just very passionate in her opinion. Despite living in another country thousands of miles away, she has a heart for the Philippines and Filipinos. She’s often misunderstood because of her unique approach; sharing of opinions and ideas. But again just like you said, it would be better if we don’t generalize.

  58. Mrivera Mrivera

    “kung ikaw nga sinabi mo “yung sila lang” eh di pati ako sinama mo na rin !”
