Salot

Noong Biyernes, namatay si Leopoldo Odulio, 60 na taong gulang, nang mabunggo sila ng army truck na may sakay na mga aso para sa security ni Gloria Arroyo sa Nueva Ecija.

Nakasakay si Odulio sa motorsiklo na menamaniho ni Ronel Tecson, na nasa ospital hanggang ngayon. Si Odulio at Tecson ay ahente ng mga appliances at motorsiklo at kung ano-ano pa para lang mabuhay.

Tatlong araw bago nangyari yun, nabundol naman ng sasakyan ng presidential security group sa Bayombong Nueva Viscaya ang isang tricyle at nabundol ang 19 taong gulang na si Lynnete Laoste. Bali raw ang kanyang balakang. Dinala raw ng helicopter si Laoeste sa AFP Medical Center sa Quezon City

Nangyari ang sakuna noong Biyernes nang si Arroyo ay pumunta saNueva Ecija para magpasinaya ng Cabiao bridge.

Tuwing may lakad kasi si Arroyo sa labas ng Malacañang katakot-takot na security ang kasama. Maliban sa kanyang convoy, may nakapwesto na kung saan siya pupunta bago siya dumating. May mga naka-uniporme, merong hindi. At may mga asong nahasa sa pagamoy ng bomba.

Ang truck na bumunggo kina Odulio at tecon ay may sakay ng mga aso. Nawalan daw ng preno.Kinasuhan ngayon ng recikless imprudence ang driver si Staff Sgt Joel Sumahit. Kawawa rin ito dahil hindi naman niya kasalanan na bumigay na ang lumang mga sasakyan ng Philippine Army.

Maalala natin na nuong isang buwan, bumagsak sa karagatan ang isa sa dalawang C-130 ng Philippine Air Force mula Davao papuntang Iloilo City. Siyam ang sakay ng C-130 sa pangunguna ng piloto na si Maj. Manuel Sambrano.

Galing Mindanao ang C-130 na yun para magdala ng mga sundalo at supplies sa mga sundalo doon na nakipag-giyera sa mga rebeldeng Muslim dahil sa hindi natuloy ang pirmahan ng MOA-AD (Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain) na magbibigay sana sa kanila ng malaking parte ng Mindanao.

Papunta ang C-130 sa Iloilo City para sunduin ang mga PSG na nag-secure kay Arroyo ng binisita niya ang namatay na si Lt. Col. Angel Benitez. Namatay si Benitez, kasama ang mga 30 pang mga sundalo at sibilyan, nang sinalakay nina Kumander Bravo ng MILF ang dalawang bayan sa Lanao del Norte. May kinalaman din ang MOA-AD dito.

Sabi nga ng marami, swerte pa rin ang mga PSG na bumagsak ang C-130 nang papunta pa lamang. Ngunit kawawa ang siyam at ang kanilang mga pamilya.

May anak si Odulio na 13 taong gulang na ngayon. Hindi ngayon alam ng kanyang asawa kung paano pa ito makapag-aral dahil sa hirap ng buhay.

Sobra-sobra na ang salot na dala ni Arroyo sa sambayanang Pilipino. Maliban sa mga nababangga ng kanyang presidential convoy o mga bumabagsak na eroplano, patuloy ang paghihirap ng taumbayan dahil sa garapalang nakawan sa kaban ng bayan.

    A Military truck with PSG soldier driving had break problem? I can’t believe it. PSG personnel are among the best trained. Presidential Security vehicles including trucks are inspected regularly. How could there be some mechanical problem? It’s just an excuse to avoid prosecution. I bet you the driver won’t be charged and jailed. For GMA, the dogs’ lives are more important than Filipinos’ lives. Next time the Military truck has an accident, why not run over the Evil Bitch?

  2. BE,
    Sorry, but the next time that dog truck travels, the DOG will be ON it, not UNDER it. Running over NOT possible.

  3. Bayani Fernando must be jealous! In Naga City, for the Penafrancia celebration, the streamer of Gen.Danilo Lim is hanging in a big tree. Mass media outlets, who already seem eager — or at least their perpetual coverage of such — have taken to endlessly speculating on the potential of undeclared candidates. The Esperon “Sutil” general continues to attract attention.

    Following each and every Tongressional and Senate debate featuring the dismal collection of dunces and fools assembled ,Villar would be ashamed at what has happened to his 200 insertion. A senate president who stood for strength, peace, diplomacy, courage, and bringing out the best in the country would not be able to recognize what Lacson is talking about. It is an absolute disaster. As always, the debate turned into a liberal pissing contest. Yes,Tongue Twisted most of them have a “Golden Arinola”! The best case scenario for this gaggle of depressed donkeys is for this entire sad, sorry bunch to go away.

    ….continuing entertainment raeding on my blog….

  4. The public focus on the 2010 election might be on which party will win the election and who will become the next President _ but some of the candidates are also keeping people smiling at the strange ways they draw attention to themselves. Some of have even been dubbed “political clowns in a comedy bar” because of their eccentricities or their strange campaign tactics.

    Take the case of Bayani Fernando, he had the public in stitches when he presented his policy to solve the traffic jams in Metro Manila, uses his unusual name, which means {FPJ look alike after his tragic car accident that requires a team of plastic surgeon to restore his face,} and his character as major selling points. Bayani Fernando said the traffic was congested because cars had to stop at red lights. To solve the problem, he said, if he was elected President he would order all traffic lights to be turned green all the time. Bong Revilla, said he is qualified to become Vice President because he wears hundred of amulets around his neck. He believed that the talismans, could help protect him from any danger and warn him to only do good deeds every day. Mr Revilla, who also claims to have travelled and worked in several movies pledged to use his experience to help develop the quality of life who would mostly be poor.-Pang cine talaga!

    What about Lito Lapid? If elected President, he promised to jump and roll on the stage during the oath taking.

  6. chi chi

    Sobra-sobrang salot si Gloria pero spoiled pa rin siya sa tongresso, court justices, CBCP, militar at businessmen. si Villar at mga kasangga sa senado naman ay nang-oonse rin sa mga tao.

    Bahala na kayo sa buhay ninyo. Kung alam ninyo na dadaan sa inyong lugar ang mga taong ito, lalo na si Gloria at mga Pidal ay magtago na lang kayo dahil malamang ay maging collateral damage kayo may gera o wala.

    Walang halaga ang buhay ng ordinaryong pinoy para kay Gloria, iwasan siya para humaba ang buhay!

  7. bitchevil,
    Lito Lapid said he understood the plight of the farmers in Pampanga because he was born to a farming family.Magtanim ay hindi biro.He changed to quarry operator.

    For myself, even though I only finished high school with a back subject in english,I am more fortunate than those farmers because I had the chance of going to work in Patumbling-tumbling.

    {In Makati he promised},If I win this election and be your mayor.I will make Kapangpangan farmers as rich as the Japanese.He did not understand why local farmers were still poor and were treated as second-class citizens despite the fact that these people were the backbone of the country.

    Binulungan siya ng assistant niya….Senator,we are in Makati,at hindi sa Lubao.Itinakbo ni Bolante ang pera nilang pambili ng fertilizer,nakalimutan mo na ba?

  8. Nagalit si Lito.–Taknaydo! sino ba ang sumulat ng speech ko? Isang buwan kung isinaulo, iyun pala ay speech ko para sa Gobernador sa Pampanga.

    Hehehehe! Nag-english hindi pa tumama sa lugar.

  9. rose rose

    Bakit may mga aso na kasama sa convoy ni GMA? May fiesta pa sa Pampanga at kasama niya ang mga aso at tuta?..akala ko baboy ang linilitson.

    When gloria visited Camarines Sur recently to greet datu happy birthday and attend the birthday celebration in Libmanan, Camarines Sur she probably spent several millions oftaxpayers money. There were lots of security personnel in uniform and in civies. Marami din military trucks at aso. They can ahead about 3 to 4 days earlier to secure the areas gloria was to pass through and visit. She also did some inauguration ceremony in Iriga City, the territory of the Alfelors who are also gloria’s lap…., you know what. She promised the people of Camarines Sur P3Billion worth of benefits. But as we all know well, any promise of gloria is bond to be that, only a promise. Salot sa bayan at salot sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Iyan si gloria.

    Walang taste ang mga poster pictures ni fernando, ang bayani ni FVR. Saw his face scowling at the people, nakakasindak at nakakatawa at the same time. Takot ang mga bata sa mukha niya para daw laging galit. Kaayusan pa mandin ang kanyang slogan. Sobra naman ang pag-akala ni fernando sa kanyang sarili para pati na sa ibang lugar tulad ng Bicol ay iposte niya pa ang kanyang streamer ng kaayusan. Magkano kaya ng pera ng MMDA ang ginagastos ni fernando para dito?

  12. Kabute;

    Knain mga aso na yun. May karga ring palaka. Sumuot sa pantalon ng driver kaya di naka brake. Impossibleng may differencia ang mga truck sa PSG unless hiram sa Airforce.

  14. Cocoy,
    Nagbertdey ka lang nakalimutan mo na. Ang slogan ni Lito Lapid (na muntik nang mailagay sa streamers, thank God di natuloy):

    “Let’s Makati Happy!”.

    Tapos sa interview sinabi niya, “Maliit pa ako gusto ko na talagang maging farmers“. (Ano yun, yung palengke sa Cubao?)

    cabiao is part of nueva ecija but a lot of people from this town are kapampangans. i hope the kapampangans will soon disown the arroyos. in fact some of the people i knew to be kapampangans around here now say they are not as a way of disowning gma. this is the difference between the kapampangans and the ilocanos who were loyal to the marcoses even at the height his unpopularity.

  16. norpil norpil

    i have a nephew who was a pilot 10 years ago after graduating at the pma. after a year he resigned after flying some of the planes. he followed his family in the usa where he worked as a janitor but was able to study to become a nurse which is his profession today.
    as i have said before, i am not a lawyer, but the driver of the vehicle in cabiao must be liable if he is a private person. being in the military could be that the officer who ordered him to drive may be held responsible, but in the end, politically at least gma is responsible.

  17. kabute kabute

    Yes Cocoy,
    Fernando, lapid, revilla are of a feather. They should all resign and concentrate their talents in show business. That way they really can make people laugh and be happy. As of now they add to the misery of the people, and yet have the gall to present themselves as a sort of “pagasa ng bayan”. Thanks Cocoy.

  18. Etnad Etnad

    Palagay ko naman oks lang si Bayani Fernando. Yong paglilinis niya sa mga bangketa di ba para sa atin lahat yon. Nagtatarabaho lang naman siya. Hindi gaya ng ibang mga local officials diyan na hinahayaan lang nila yang mga nagtitinda at umuukopa sa mga bangketa kasi dagdag boto rin yan. Tignan niyo yong sumisira kay Fernando … yang si Golez … ano ba ang nagawa nito … WALA!!!! Balimbing pa at ngawa lang ng ngawa para mapansin siya. Sabi nga ni Bayani, trabaho lang ito mga kaibigan.

  19. Etnad Etnad

    Palagay ko puwede na si Bayani Fernando para lumaban sa pagka-Pangulo ng ating Bansa. Hindi kagaya ng iba na puro lang ngawa wala namang ginagawa. Ang ginagawa ni Bayani na paglilinis sa lansangan ng MetroManila ay magandang ehemplo na pati buong Pilipinas ay kaya din niyang linisin. Tayo ay magpaka-totoo na ang traffic sa Maynila ay talagang mahirap remedyohan sa dami ng sasakyan at isa pang dapat natin ikonsidera ay yong disiplina ng ating mga drayber. Ang mahirap kasi sa atin ay yong nagta-trabaho ay ating kinakawawa at yong ngawa ng ngawa na wala namang ginagawa ay sila yong bida. Yong totoo lang mga kaibigan.

  20. etcetera etcetera

    Sobra naman ata yan. Naglinis ka lang ng bangketa eh presidente ka na agad.

    Mag congressman muna sya. Kung maganda trabaho nya sa congress eh mag senado sya o mag mayor ng manila.

  21. chi chi

    korek, etcetera. Sa tongress lower house of hell muna lumaban si Bayani kung saan pwede niyang walisin ang napakababahong basura, kung kaya niya. Baka hanggang sa maliliit na pinoy lang ang kanyang tapang.

  22. Etnad Etnad

    Ang alam ko naging Mayor yan ng Marikina at balita ko maganda ang ginawa niya sa kanyang lalawigan. Kaya siya kinuha na maglingkod sa National Government dahil sa magandang record niya. Hindi basehan yong maging Senator o Congressman ka pa. Si Reagan at G. Bush ay Gobernor sila bago naging Pangulo ng USA. Palagay ko hindi naman maganda na idagdag pa niya sa kanyang CV na isa siyang corrupt na Congressman o Senator.

  23. Gabriela Gabriela

    Kabute, bakit naman mag-resign sina lapid, revilla. Laos na sila sa showbiz kaya sila pumunta sa pulitika. kaya ng si Manny pacquiao, pulitika na rin ang paapsukin niya dahil palaos na siya. That’s how politics here is regarded. And that’s the kind of politics Gloria Arroyo is encouraging. lahat yan mga bata niya.

  24. etcetera etcetera

    Tama ka na hindi basehan ang maging senador ka o congressman bago ka maging presidente. Kung ang pagbabasehan eh ang US, tama ka na governor muna sila Reagan at Bush bago naging presidente. Mayroon nabang mayor sa US na naging presidente?
    Wala, bakit? Dahil kulang ang experience na mayor.

    Maniniwala pa ako na pedeng tumakbo ng presidente ang mayor ng Manila. Bakit? Dahil ang Manila ang pinakamalaking ciudad sa kapuluan na pamahalaan ng mayor, para ka na ring gobernor non.

    Tingnan mo ang Mexico city. Yon ang pinakamalaking ciudad sa buong Mexico. Tawag pa nga nila sa Mexico city eh distrito federal (federal state). Yong mayor don (Obrador) eh muntik ng manalo sa pagka presidente kung hindi lang sya dinaya ng kalaban.

  25. Etnad Etnad

    Anong pagka-kaiba ng Mayor ng Maynila sa Mayor ng kahit saan pa. Mayor pa din sila di ba? Kung maganda ang patakbo mo sa iyong nasasakupan ibig sabihin sa lahat ng angulo financial man o pamamahala talo mo pa ang corrupt at walanghiyang Mayor ng malaking Lungsod. Nasa pamamahala lang yan. Governor na siya ngayon sa MMDA o di ba dagdag sa CV niya.

  26. Etnad Etnad

    Basta’t sa akin ay kung ang isang namumuno ay nagta-trabaho para sa nakakarami at hindi ang tong-pats ang ina-asikaso, doon ako. Hindi nila kayang pagbigyan lahat ng kanilang nasasakupan. Pero kung itong si Bayani ay napatunayan o napagbintangang kurap e ibang storya na yan.

  27. All these potential candidates in 2010 presidential election can be simply described like this: a bunch of mindless hacks, none of them have the cajones and gravitas or common sense ability to logically look at our problems and sense that there may be a non-governmental solution to anything.

    If any of them really cared about China taking our lands, poisoning our kids, and owning our future—they would all be advocating for an end to fast track trade negotiating authority. But if you listen carefully, Mirriam Defensor talk tough on China yet promise no action. Especially the lady in the asbestos pant-suit whose whole family is engage in kissing ass with Gloria’s administration, was testament to the growing Chinese influence in our midst.

    So long as we allow these pompous stuffed clowns to jester about our political process we will never be free. These clowns are a collection of fools, cowards, and liars; each scrambling for the tiniest opiate rush of ego-aggrandizement.

    Voters must decide themselves whether they want to vote for these dubbed political jokers.

    Last night I asked a friend kon ano sa English ang “salot” (bisaya kasi ako) ang sabi niya..jinx..curse..so sa bisaya ito ang tinatawag namin na gaba?, bwisit? dimalas? parusa kaya ito sa atin? but if we look around us even here in the great land of opportunity the USA..Galveston just had a catastrophe, a week or so ago, Florida was hit too…etc. now sa Wall Street there seems to be a financial crisis..but sa Republic of Pidal kahit anong typhoon ang dumating..walang paki si putot..putot kasi siya kaya hindi niya nakikita..”the Phil. will survive”..kaya pupunta siya sa NY from Pasig River to East River..at dadalhin niya ang progress ng kanyang “piss” talk sa UN..what a macapal gal! Is she going to help US? or is she asking for help from Uncle Sampalin?..What a macapal gal! Was it not Wins ton of Gracia who said..take advantage of the corrupt system..Malungkot! AIG in the US..GSIS in the Phil. both are in the insurance business..

  29. Etnad,
    Hindi mo kilala si BF bago naging Mayor ng Marikina, dati yang contractor. Siya ang nakontrata ng SM na magtayo ng Megamall. Puro sablay ang trabaho, nandadaya sa materyales, nagpapalusot ng progress billing. Mahilig siya sa shortcut at bastos sa mga tauhan niya.

    Hindi umubra yung yabang niya kay Hans Sy. Sinipa siya sa Megamall. Diyan na nagsimulang malugi ang BF Corp. Kaya napilitang tumakbo sa politika. Ngayon mayaman na uli siya. Siyempre, sino ba ang kumontrata sa mga project sa Marikina?

  30. Etnad Etnad

    TT, salamat dito sa info kay BF. Dehins ko naman talaga kilala kung papano ang upbringing o istorya ng taong yan. Ang sa akin lang naman ay siya yong nakikita ko na nagta-trabaho sa kapakanan ng nakakarami. Para sa atin lahat yan. Talaga namang parang kabute ang mga vendors natin. Tanong ko sa inyo, hindi ba kayo naalibadbaran pag kayo ay nadadaan dito? Sa Bicutan na lang, imbes na sa walkway ka dadaan e sa mismong kalsada na. Kung sino pa ang nagta-trabaho e siya pa yong napapasama. Kaya magpa-katotoo lang tayo.

  31. Tongue,
    Bakit hindi ka na naglalabas ng bagong issue doon sa blog mo? Matagal mo akong ibinitin sa info na galing sa iyo,Ah!Binabalikan ko na lang ang moro doon at hindi na maaring pambalot ng tinapa dahil punit punit na ang papel,baka nga ipinamunas na ng puwit ng iba.Hehehehe!

    Everything is going wrong in this country because a certain plague named Gloria is out of control, causing havoc and it seems nobody can stop it. When bad things continue to happen, the natural reaction is to change the course. How to do it however is easier said than done.

    The curse had been with the country ever since Gloria forced her way into the presidency. What happened at EDSA 2 was not people’s will or God’s will. It was the will of traitors, schemers, plotters and evil minded people because of greed and lust for power. It’s been said very often that the voice of majority is the voice of God. Joseph Estrada was elected with the biggest margin in any Philippine election and if we follow the saying, his election was not only the will of the majority but the will of God. And when the traitors and schemers ousted him from his rightful seat, they violated not only the people but also God.

    Came Election 2004, we know what happened then.

    Gloria is by far the worst and most corrupt president the country ever had and that’s why we consider her the plague. The irony of it all is that while the guardians of morality, righteousness, justice and honesty do nothing to stop and kick her out, they did it to Erap who by now we know as the lesser evil between the two. That is not fair play and the people’s and God’s will were violated.

    Now, what I am driving at is the plague that is Gloria has been implanted by God himself in the midst of the people because they allowed His will to be violated and they failed to rectify by their failure to act. People only deserve what they get as a result of their actions. And if they lose sight and be complacent again, the possibility that this plague will continue to reign on the country is not a remote possibility and may last until thy kingdom come. God forbids.

    Rose,
    You’re right, we are so small that little can happen with any karma. But AIG didnt invest on paintings, look what happened to it.

    florry,
    I beg to disagree that Gloria is the worst. I thinks its Quezon who chose hell and Gloria for us.

  34. chi chi

    Val,

    I’m waiting for AIG to drop some more, sori ha…bumibili ako ng stock niya. Maganda sana ang karma ko sa accumulation kong ito, heheh!

    “I thinks its Quezon who chose hell and Gloria for us.”

    Well, you know better than I do with regards to the story of Quezon’s choice, but yeah I agree.

  35. Valdemar Valdemar

    chi,
    just wait a little more and buy as soon as it levels off, an advise from AIG Investments.

  36. florry florry

    Rose
    I think you don’t understand what you are talking about. It’s Quezon who said He prefered a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by the Americans, meaning being independent. OK if you are that old and you were there when Quezon was President, maybe you can make a comparison between the Gloria and Quezon administration and tell us who is worst or hell.

  37. florry florry

    Rose, sorry, it should be Valdemar.

    florry; ok lang..I didn’t get to see Quezon but sa picture niya pogi siya at kastilaloy ang tipo. Roxas though I have seen in person..ang naging press secretary kasi niya kapatid ng lola ko..and at that time marunong na ako bumasa at kahit na malayo ang Antique nakakarating din sa amin ang Manila Times, Phil Free Press at Manila Chronicle at favorito ko ang mga ito.. pinsan kasi ng tatay ko ang Behind Page one at Inside Malacanang…At we have current events that we have to report..nagbabasa pa ba ang mga bata ngayon ng newspapers?

    “Talaga namang parang kabute ang mga vendors natin.” Dante naman, kabute pa naman ang handle ko. Sana compare mo na ang ang mga nagsusulpotan na magtitienda sa kalye ni bayani na mga palaka kasi maingay din sila at palipat-lipat. Kahit naman nagtratrabaho si bayani, ayon sa iyo, eh dubious naman ang background niya. Sana mayor na lang siya uli ng Marikina. Pero kung gusto niya mag-presidente, okey lang. Huwag lang pikon sa kantiyaw.

    I hope she does not spray a curse sa UN or sa Wall St..knmg sa bagay naging malas na ang Wall St..AIG is just two or three blocks away from the Stock Exchange. Mahigpit seguro ang security sa UN that day..Makasaglit nga sa Consulate at UN…
