RC tells it to their faces

I just came from the very exciting press con of House Speaker Jose de Venecia at Dusit Hotel where they tried to present their face-saving alternative: Constitutional Convention.

Instead, activist Renato Constantino,Jr. slammed to their faces.

RC, in an all black attire, stole the show when after JDV read his prepared statement, he stood up and told the congressmen to their faces:

“I would like to say to you all (that) I am completely appalled by your collective gall. You’re totally bereft of principle that’s why you’re without shame,” .

The congressmen were shocked . J.J. Romualdo of Camiguin said, “Itapon yan.” I asked him, that’s you statement? He just looked at me.

I didn’t hear what Journal reporter Tita Valderama heared him say which was , “sige, bugbugin nyo yan sa labas.”

Later, as I was taking Romualdo’s picture, he said to me, “I said, ‘Itapon’.Bakit hindi na ba kami pwede magdefend ng sarili namin? Binabastos na kami. Sige, i-quote mo ako. ”

I told him, “Rest assured I will quote you because that’s my job.”

As RC was being led out, Vic Agustin, columnist of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, in a white shirt, threw him a glass of water. When I talked to Agustin later, he said he didn’t want to say anything anymore and that he became “emotional.”

As he was being escorted out of the room, RC kept on shouting, “They are a bunch of serial rapists.”

Carmen Pedrosa, columnist of the Philippine Star, was shouting at RC, “Shut up, shut up.”

    Kapag kayo ang nambabastos okay lang, pag kayo ang binastos nagagalit kayo. Sabi nga ni Erap weather-weather lang iyan. Di nakatikim din kayo. Dapat nga pinagbabato ng kamatis iyan si Yoda. Hindi iyong bulok kundi iyong de-lata para mabukulan. Saludo ako sa iyo RC, unti-unti lumalabas din ang kulay ng ibang journalist.

    BWA HA HA HA! punong-puno na ng damdamin ang mga pangyayari!
    cge lang.. bwa! ha ha ha!
    tama naman si constantino. may maitatanggi ba ang mga alipores ni tiyanak? rapists ang mga walang-hiyang mga iyan.

    teka..teka.. tyanak? may napansin ako dyan ah.. tiyanak si glue.. at ang tenga ni DagaDevenicia, di ba magkamag-anak nga?
    oo nga! tenga-nyanak!

    professional na mga manloloko ang mga nasa pwesto kaya bantayan natin ang susunod na kilos ng mga ito!

  4. Mabuhay ka RC! Happy to hear that there are still Filipinos like you willing to die for country and principle! I hope, Ellen, that he was not mugged when he was taken out of the room.

    On the other hand, if a Japanese would do the same thing at a Japanese Diet member, instead of being jeered, he would surely be cheered by the media.

    Shame on these members of the Philippine media who are nothing but paid lip server. Pihado ko malaki ang tiba ng mga ungas na iyan kay DeAmnesia, who pays a lot of people to write nice things about him.

    OK, mayaman daw sila? So what? At least, over here in Japan, journalists earn their keep the honest and legal way. May pakinabang pa. Sa Pilipinas, parang pirming nakalapad ang mga kamay! Kakahiya!

    I’m not impressed. Ang dami lang mayabang! You, Ellen, on the other hand, is God’s blessing to the Filipino people. Salamat!

    Is this Pedrosa, the woman who tries hard to talk British but end up talking like some itneg? Suyang-suya ako sa totoo lang.

    Yeah ellen and RC mabuhay kayo, tell it in their face, AS I SAID BEFORE, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!!!!!!!! It’s really a face saving situation for JDV and et al. tellin g the senators that the ball is in their hands now. ysk, tsk, tsk… It just shows that they are afraid of the rallies that are being planned against their constiCHCHU-ent ASS-embly. Isay we still continue with the planned rallies just to show these idiots that they do not belong in here anymore. Hours before the rape of the constitution most of these TONGressmen (the great YODA, villaSUERTE, edcel LAGAYman, PECHAY, NOGNOGrales et al…) are really pushing and raping the constitution, and now today, they are supporting the constitutional convention, what do they think of the FILIPINOS, STUPID??? also they are now pushing for the election in May 2007, but I have to remind you people that prior to the press conference today, they want to postpone the election, we really should push witht he planned rallies.

    And talking about postponement, I am really amazed with the way the ASEAN summit is being handled by Ambassador marciano Paynor, He just like his boss thought all the while that they know everything, why postpone the summit,why not just transfer the venue, again STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!!!!! According to paynor, its because of the typhoon, my god if there is typhoon just transfer the venue, it just show that he has no alternative plan for the summit. According to report, he wanted the decision making for the summit to be centralized to him, meaning he is the all knowing SOB!!!!!

    I say, this coming election, let us show all the SOBs by not electing them or any of their relaTHIEVES.

    Parang malalim iyang Inglis ni Ka Renato baka malabong naitindihan ng mga Judas. Palagay ko ganyan din katindi ang galit ng sambayang Pilipino. These shameless pigs should back-out on their greedy plan. Dapat sila ang itapon sa basura. Si J.J. Romualdo ng Camiguin ang mauna at kasunod si JDV.

    “I would like to say to you all (that) I am completely appalled by your collective goal. You’re totally bereft of principle that’s why you’re without shame.” RC

  7. Tong-gress, The PR of Pichay approached me and said, “Ellen grabe naman ang sa kolum mo”. I asked, which one. He said, “yung sinabi na hinawakan ni pihacy ang kanang kamay etc. etc. habang ang iba ng tsi-cheer, “go, Joe, go.”.

    I told him, “That was a comment from one of my blog visitors.” That was how many people saw it.”

    That was your comment, Tong.

    Additional….

    There are some congressmen who are dismayed with the decision of their comrades to postpone the election, and that these congressmen are will to withdraw their support for conASS. That means only one thing the great YODA is losing control in the house of representaTHIEVES, hehehehehe……

    DAPAT NA ITULOY PA RIN NATIN ANG PROTESTA KAHIT NA BA SINABI NG MGA RAPIST NG SALIGANG BATAS NA SUSUPORTAHAN NILA ANG CONVENTION!!!!!!!!

    It just show how sutpid these people are.

    Ano ba yan sa Vic Agustin? Saan ba napulot ng inquirer yan? A gloria/mike a kiss-ass if there ever was one.

  10. Chabeli Chabeli

    BRAVO, RC! We must thank the IDIOTS led by JdV for making him a hero!

    If Vic Agustin was so “emotional”, what was it to seek refuge from that Honey Ilusorio, his gf? Apparently, the guy’s (?) action just showed he is a low-life-BASTOS, in other words.

    What JdV et al did was just angered the people more!!! This week, WE WILL GIVE THEM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. masha masha

    Inquirer should sack Vic Agustin. Unless of course it bows again to Malacanang’s wishes. I have noticed the Inquirer seems to be editing the news.

    Ex: Pacific Plans fiasco/Yuchengcos perfidy do not merit the front page. News bits are found in the odd pages inside.

    Thanks, Chabeli. Will send him a nice “thanks for showing your true colors, Vic” 😉

    rc’s words is worth framing and i hope if there will be demonstrations these words must be on their placards.collective goal,without principle and without shame are key words.. i am not shocked anymore by the words coming from these bunch of serial rapists.who is this carmen pedrosa from star, i wonder why is she trying to shut up rc.i think the media is very important in bringing the message to the people as well as messages from the people.

    batong-buhay,

    please don’t call JdV Yoda. How can we, in our conscience, throw tomatoes at YODA, the most loveable character of Strar Wars. YODA’s character represents wisdom, while JDV is a crook to the extreme.

    Iba na lang ang itawag natin kay JDV, ha? :).

    Mrivera,

    Mas maganda!

    Anyway, Vic Agustin is PDI’s columnist. Why was he so angry at RC? Baka nasa payroll ni jose tae-nga, or nginig to the bones already that he’ll no longer get envelope full of money when the tae-nga ng daga is gone? Either way, meron siyang malaking pakinabang sa tae-nga daga!

  26. Mrivera Mrivera

    ikaw ba anaman ang mawawalan ng paldong sobreng naglalaman ng CASH sa bawat kasinungalingang gagawin mong totoo para maniwala ang madlang pipol, hindi ka kaya mapautot sa galit kapag kinokontra ang handler mo? wala na nga talaga. nagkalat ang mga kawatan sa loob at labas ng tongress! dapat sa mga ‘yan, SUNUGIN!!!!!

  27. You bet, Chi, Yoda does not deserve to be compared to the unwise Ngit of Congress. May mas kamukha iyan. Si Yoda bilongan ang mukha. Itong si Ngit, hindi mawari. ‘Taka nga kung bakit may nagpapakasal sa ungas na iyan. Dumadami tuloy ang lahi niyang pangit!

  28. chi chi

    Yuko,

    Di ba si tae-Ngit was once married to Miss U? Is he really that mucho dinero that he could get some pretty women? Aside from his landoil deal, ano pa ba? Oh, kwarta nga pala ng bayan ang nasa bulsa niya!

    Just had a talk with a friend in tongress, sabi ito raw si tae-Ngit will do anything in his power to become PM ’cause there’s nothing for him in the future. There’s a very popular person kuno in his prov/town that he pays whenever this guy(didn’t get the name) plans to run for congress. This days days, this guy will definitely run for mayor and tae-Ngit can’t win against him. Tae-Ngit’s last term in tongress and plans sana to run for mayor of his town, kaya lang hindi na yata niya mapaurong ang tao. So, Tae-Ngit is doing in his power (meron pa ba) to push his ConAss train.

    Don’t know how true this tsismis is but it’s all over tongress raw! Hah! meron katapusan ang lahat.

  29. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Am amused listening in my corner. RC’s case is just a mirror of how pigs and crocs can be hurt. Nabastusan sila. tsk tsk tsk. Pero kung sila ang nambabastos, ok lang. Kung sila ang bababuyin, masama. Pero kung sila ang nambababuy, oking oki lang. Ang demonyo nga naman.

    What transpired during the press conference of JDV with his legions and the point blank outburst of Renato Constantino caught them by surprise!

    RC represents the true sentiments of the Filipino majority who are against the bastusan and babuyan in the House of Representatives.

    Mabuhay ka, RC – iyan ang taong may yagbols na ipinamukha kina JDV ang dapat nilang marinig!

    I don’t understand why Vic Agustin of Philippine Daily Inquirer reacted rudely from Renato Contantino’s ranting. Why, the truth hurts? There’s a possibility that he is a paid propagandist by these shameless inbreed bastards. A loyal lapdog is just trying to protect his source of income or food. It’s a basic instinct of survival at critical times.

  33. Renato Renato

    I like reading the Inquirer,especially the column of Conrado de Quiros, hard-hitting.It’s a shame that The Inquirer tolerates in their stable, corrupt journalists(?), the likes of these victor agustin and belinda olivareshit nacunanan!This two should join tengangdagajdv’s lakas party,LAKAS MAKAKOLEKTA!!!Kudos to you MR.RC!I call on the ASEAN community to support the Filipino People to oust a bogus president and gov’t.!We call on you to snub the rescheduled ASEAN summit this Jan2007, to show your solidarity to the majority of the Filipino People!This bogus gov’t.cannot even tell the truth to you, the real reason for postponing the summit!This fake gov’t. has the gall to tell you, “it’s the weather, stupid!”Will you allow a fake and immoral leader to treat you like a bunch of morons, and lie to you, and make you believe that it’s all about the weather!!???!!We the Filipinos don’t buy that lie.We hope you won’t buy it either!We call on Thailand to be one with the Filipinos in ousting an immoral gov’t.!If you can do it, we can do it!Patalsikin na, NOW na!!!

    “I would like to say to you all (that) I am completely appalled by your collective goal. You’re totally bereft of principle that’s why you’re without shame.” RC

    Very deep talaga ang English ni RC. May nakapagsabi sa akin, eh graduate lang ng fashion schools yong ibang nandoon. Talagang hindi nila nakuha. Subukan kong i-translate sa Tagalog or simpler version, subukan din ninyo:

    1. Gusto kong ipahiwatig sa inyong tanan na ang aking katauhan ay lubos na nagugulumihanan sa inyong nagkakaisa ngunit nakaririmarim na hangarin. Kayo ay totoong walang karangalang maipagmamalaki kung kaya’t kayo ay walang kahihiyang maituturing.
    2. Nagtataka ako kung bakit gusto ninyong madaliin ang pagbabago ng saligang batas. Kung mayroon kayong karangalan, daanin natin sa paraang hindi lumalabas na kahiya-hiya ang inyong ginagawa.
    3. Dyos na mahabagin! Kinikilabutan ako sa inyong walang patumanggang pagyurak sa ating saligang batas. Hindi ko malirip kung ano ang inyong nasa kalooban. Kayo ba’y sinapian na ng demonyo sa katawan? Nasaan ang pangaral na ating kinagisnan kapag walang prinsipyo, walang karangalan? Hindi ba kayo nahihiya sa inyong ginagawa? Huwag na kayong sumagot. Panget ng face nyo!
    4. Talagang ang kapal ninyong mga alipores ni GMA at JDV! Wala na ba kayong natitirang kahihiyan?
    5. Iparating ko lang sa inyo ako’y nasusuka sa inyong ambisyones. Kayo’y mga manhid kaya wala kayong prinsipyo.
    6. Todos los amigos y amigas ni GMA y JDV, porque ninyo ni-rape ang ating na constitucion? Ano ba mana gusto ninyo gagawin? Ginawgawa pa ninyong motel ang Bastusang Pambansa, mga simberguenza!
    7. Your ambition to place yourself in elective position without being elected is disgusting! Why be ashamed to be rejected by your constituents in May 7 if you are serving them right?
    8. To tell you in your face, you have no principal yet you are collecting interest! Why are you like that? Are you not ashame of yourself?
    9. Ay naku, mga fans ni GMA at JDV sa tongreso, ano ba? Oy, dami nyo gift of love from GMA sa pagboto sa con-ass. Dehins naman dyaheng kunin yon. Datung ng bayan lang yon, ubusin ninyo!!!

  35. parasabayan parasabayan

    RC is worth emulating! If we can have a million RCS, tapos na ang laban. This outright disregard for the peoples’ wishes of amending/revising the constitution is the worst act one can do!

    LET US CONTINUE WITH THE MASS PROTESTS! If we retreat now, in 72 hours tae-ng-daga(I like this better)will to back to the con-ass. HE IS BULLYING THE SENATE!!! THE AUDACITY…PWE!!

    I like the analogy of having raped someone then later proposes marriage to the victim and if the raped victim does not give an answer to the proposal in 72 hours, the victim will be raped again!!! A TRUE DEPICTION OF THE CON-ASS proposed by the assholes!!!

  37. E-mail from RC Constantino:
    Hi Ellen

    Nakakataba ng puso ang nilalaman ng blog mo! Kahit na nabubulok ang puso ko, pinalukso ng mga nagkomento ang tibok nito. Nawa’y patuloy na makapag-ambag ako sa ating sambayanan,

    Attached is a statement I issued the other day on serial gang-rapists.

    Warm regards

    Serial Gang-Rape

    Cpl. Daniel Smith has been found guilty by Judge Benjamin Pozon of the crime of rape. The people cheered the rendering of justice. Three of Smith’s companions who watched, even egged him on while he was raping Nicole, were unfortunately acquitted and have since left the Philippines. The people winced. Now pending is the question of the site of incarceration of Smith, presently at the Makati City Jail as directed by Judge Pozon. The US Embassy has now demanded custody while the judicial process is ongoing. Already the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Justice and Malacañang itself (even before the note verbale from the US Embassy was received), indicated in no uncertain terms an inclination to deliver Smith to his Embassy. The people gritted their teeth in anger.

    As custodial controversy swirls around this rape case, another rape is ongoing. Indeed a series of gang-rapes is unfolding. GMA’s bullies in the House of Representatives, acting like a gang gloating in the superiority of its numbers and brooking no obstacle to its goals, rode roughshod over the minority and have just raped its own House Rules. This paved the way for the introduction of measures that would insure that the Lower House could now proceed to rape the Constitution. The next step will be a plebiscite where it will be the people’s turn to be raped as GMA’s electoral goons ensures the fraudulent approval of its bastardized Charter.

    The question now is whether the people will simply sit by and allow this travesty to go on. Whether we will allow GMA and her serial gang-rapists to succeed in their patently illegal, sinfully immoral and criminally rapacious behavior.

    Will we just spread our legs as Malacañang, the DFA and the DOJ appear bent on doing? Or shall we, like courageous Nicole, put all on the line and fight for our rights no matter the odds? As self-respecting Filipinos, we can do no less. Together let us express our national outrage at this high crime that GMA, JDV and all their cohorts are committing against the Filipino people.

  38. Chi,

    Ang balita ko iyang si Tae-Ngit ay yumaman sa human trafficking. Monopoly niya noong panahon ni Marcos ang human trafficking sa Middle East. Maski nga siguro ngayon e. Kaniya-kaniya silang territory gaya ng sinabing sa Taiwan ang boss diyan iyon daw kapatid ni Ramos, etc. Mukhang itong si Bansot pumapel din sa human trafficking sa Singapore. Dito sa Japan, since 2001, siya na ang queenpin ng mga Japayuki.

    In fact, ni-report ko sa police ang nabalitang balak nilang ipalusot ang mga Japayuki as trained entertainers daw after two years of the implementation of the Japanese Immigration Law. Akala niya ganoon kagago ang mga hapon kasi dahil hindi sila maka-ingles. Pero nasabon siguro siya ni Abe at Aso na magaling mag-ingles sa totoo lang because they are educated in the US and UK. Kasabwat ni Great Switik si Pat Sto. Tomas sa pagbubugaw ng mga pilipino dito. Kunyari nag-resign sa DoLE pero nilagay naman siya sa meaty position sa ADB.

    In short, puro bugaw ang mga ungas!!! Sayang daw ang kikitahin kaya kahit sila overstay at walang bala, sige pa rin ang tulak ng mga ungas sa mga desperadong mga pilipinong nag-a-abroad. Kawawang Pilipinas. Kailangan maligtas na sa mga ungas na ito! Parang si Nicole na hindi man ma-rape noong horny US soldier, raped naman sa pukpok ni SiRaulO na isa pang dapat na sipain ng malakas!

  39. hi ellen.

    thanks for this post. your recounting of the event is something that we won’t be able to normally read about in newspapers or see on tv.

    bravo to RC. he said what many people feel about the moves to mess around with the constitution for the benefit of the very same people who hold power in our country.

    thank god we have cyberspace to express our views without being censored.

  40. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    A true patriot, Renato Constantino is. Braveheart.

    RC was within spitting distance of the table of the serial rapists. He could have thrown one good spitball and hit the target of his outrage easily. But RC is too much of a gentleman for that. He used classic King’s English to deliver his message instead.

    Meantime the cowardly Inquirer columnist Vic Agustin threw liquid into RC’s face from a safe position behind some people. Asked by reporters who he was, he wouldn’t give his name. Then he disappeared into the walls.

    And Carmen Paidrosa was yelling and screaming at RC like a juramentada “Show respect! Show respect to our Representatives!!!!!” Duh…respect for those Representatives? What planet did you come from, Madame?

  41. nelbar nelbar

     

    sa isang taksi na nasakyan ko kagabi at pumila sa Dusit Hotel nung umaaga nang magpatawag si JDV ng press con …sabi ng taksi driver na sinakyan ko:
    “ang lakas ng loob ng nagtanong na yon sa press con ni Tenga, mag isa lang”

     
    sabi ko naman sa kanya, ayan ang mga taong tinataya ang buhay para sa bansa.

    hindi tulad ng mga tao na nagpatawag ng press con na yun, pera ang itinataya.

     

    Sabi nya, sana mabigyan na ng katarungan ang pandaraya ng eleksyon noong 2004. Ilang beses ng binastos ang kagustuhan ng mga mahihirap.

    sabi ko sa kanya:
    HINDI TAYO MAHIHIRAP, TAYO AY MGA MARARANGAL NA TAO!
    HINDI TAYO NAGNANAKAW, SINUNGALING AT MANDARAYA!
    LUMALABAN TAYO NG PAREHAS!
     

  42. Mike Uliling Mike Uliling

    Mabuhay kayo Mr. Renato Constantino. Kailangan ng Pilipinas ang mga matitinong tao tulad nito. Nakakalungkot dahil wala atang ganiyan sa Malacanyan at sa Batasan.

  43. florry florry

    Ellen,
    Nakaka-inggit ka, kasi nandiyan ka palagi sa “where the action is”. Nangarap din ako na malagay sa isang position na nakikita ko ang iringan, debatehan at mga banatan.Ang sarap siguro ng feeling. Ang nasasalihan ko lang ay yong mga rally at yon ay kung nataon sa aking holiday. Hindi bale, next time na holiday ko at may mga rally pa, sigurado kasali rin ako.
    My message to RC: I admire your courage, am sure not for your own interest but for our beloved country and it’s people as a whole. May your tribe increase!

  44. Bilib talaga ako sa sense of humour ng Pinoy. I just got this text:

    Flash report!

    Cherie Gil just gave Vic Agustin a “douse of cold water” saying, “You’re nothing but a second- rate trying-hard copy cat!”

  45. Florry, kailan ka ba uuwi? Kung matagal pa, sana naman by that time nagpapahinga na kami sa kaka-protesta.

    Di bale, I’ll try to be close to the events para makwentuhan ko kayo.

  46. Mrivera Mrivera

    carmen pedrosa? laos na bayaran? mukhang mamasan! amoy lupa na, ayaw pang tumigil sa pagpasada! laki siguro ibinabayad ni jose tae-nga ng daga de amnesia sa kanya. lalo na siguro sina nognograles at salsalceda. sarap siguro niyang sumipsip para isulat ang kasinungalingan ng mga demonyo sa tongreso ay magmukhang totoo sa mga tao! pwe!!!

  47. nelbar nelbar

     
    kaano ano ba ni Mr.Ramon Pedrosa (BNA) si Carmen?

     

  48. Her husband was former ambassador to United Kingdom during Ramos time. If I remember right, he is also Ramon Pedrosa but I don’t know if he is the one you are referring to.

    Carmen Pedrosa, also known as Chit, is the mother of Veronica Pedrosa, formerly with CNN, now with Al Jazeera (English broadcast) based in Kuala Lumpur.

    She was the one of those who initiated PIRMA during FVR’s time.

  49. Mrivera Mrivera

    siguro, kaya nagalit si carmen pedrosa kay RC, dahil itong huli habang nagsasalita nang pigil at gigil ay napautot sa tapat ng mukha niya (carmen), eh nakanganga pa naman! swak na swak sa bunganga nang lumabas ang hangin. he he he heeeh.

    Ellen,
    God willing, next year nandiyan na naman ako, kasi taon-taon hinihintay at inaasahan ng mother ko ang bakasyon ko. Kaya by that time at kung may natitira pang suwerte si gma at nakaupo pa rin, siguro may mga protesta pa, at sigurado nandoon din ako. And I hope I’ll meet you in person. Alam mo naman diehard fan mo ako, simula pa lang noong panahon ni Marcos.
    At saka thank you sa mga columns and update mo sa mga balita, kung hindi dahil doon marami kaming hindi malalaman na nangyayari diyan, dahil hindi naman kasi lahat ay na-co-cover ng mga on-line edition ng mga newspapers.
    Again thank you and take care.

    sori po. tama kayo, kakatwa kasi ang hitsura ni JoeDagaDeAmnesia eh, kamukha ni yoda, pero dahil sa tunay na character ni YODA, hindi ko na sya ipapares kay tengang-dagaVenicia. totoong malayong-malayo sila

    tuloy-tuloy lang po tayo, tuloy-tuloy lang.
    napaka-fragile na ng damdamin ng sambayanan
    at tiyak na tiyak, konting kanti na lang at ito ay mababasag na. kitang-kita na ang lamat ng administrasyong Glue-ria, i-glue man ito ay sa mata ng tao ito ay pangit na.

    GOOD WORK RC! You did what many of us should do and should have done long ago! Filipinos are used to being submissive to our politicians, when it should be otherwise. I call on our countrymen to emulate RC’s conduct and to be free and unafraid in voicing out our opinion, specially on matters of public interest. This is guaranteed by our very own constitution, and is not unlawful at all. In fact, this is the norm in other free countries.

    As to Vic Agustin, Carmen Pedrosa and Belinda Cunanan – SHAME ON YOU (But I guess there’s no shame left on you anymore).

    More power to ELLEN and CONRADO DE QUIROS,and other brave journalists!

    when RC slammed it to their faces, i saw glimpse from the footage na na shock ang mga walanghiya. Namangha sa nangyari. Hindi nakagalaw. Parang mga pusang binuhusan ng tubig.

    Ang saya saya. RC made the biggest statement of the year. Napaka vocal!

    Mabuhay ka RC!!!

    “J.J. Romualdo of Camiguin said, “Itapon yan.” I told him, that’s your statement? He just looked at me.

    I didn’t hear what Journal reporter Tita Valderama heared him say which was , “sige, bugbugin nyo yan sa labas.””

    ito ba ang uri ng mga kinatawan ng taong bayan sa kongreso? mga animo’y hari na hindi gustong makakanti ang mga kabulukang umaalingasaw? malalakas lang ang loob dahil nasa poder pero supot at walang mga bayag sa karuwagan?”

    Syensya na kayo ha, naging Kongresista yan dahil palagi lang niloloko ang mga constituents nya doon sa bayan nya. Ang narinig halos lahat ng position sa probinsya nya hinahawakan nang pamilya nya. Kaya feeling nya ganun siya ka powerful.

    i read once somewhere that journalists cannot do their jobs if they donot know in first hand the people with power and influence. it is when they befriend them that problems begin. the most serious problem that threatens journalism is giving the powerful a lot of latitude.

  64. Mrivera Mrivera

    norpil, it is also when they start accepting “enveloped compliments” from the powerful.
