Bayani mathematics

Opisyal na: si Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro ang kandidato ng Lakas-Kampi-CMD, ang partido ng administrasyon ni Gloria Arroyo.

Iisa lang ang nagpresinta na gustong magkandidato na bise president- si Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno. Kaya Teodoro-Puno ang magiging tiket ng administrasyon.

Sa paghirang ng kandidatura ni Teodoro para president sa 2010 na eleksyon, malabo na si Bise Presidente Noli de Castro na tatakbo. Baka bumalik na lang siguro siya sa pagka-brodkaster.

May balita na baka raw mag-endorso si De Castro kay Noynoy Aquino. Ano yun, tumatalon na sa lumulubog na barko ni Arroyo si De Castro?

Sa mga survey kulelat si Teodoro. Point 2 per cent. May decimal point yan.

Noong Martes nga, sinabi ni Bayani Fernando,chairman ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority na siyang ka-kumpetensya ni Teodoro sa nominasyun ng Lakas, na mas malaki ang tsansa niyang manalo sa 2010 eleksyun kasi apat na posyento raw ang nakuha niya sa mga survey.

Kapag pa-andarin daw ang makinarya ng Lakas-Kampi-CMD, mag-mumultiply daw limang beses ang kanyang mahihilang boto. Kaya magiging 20 per cent na siya. Mga sampung milyun na boto raw yun. Kaya pwedeng siya na ang panalo dahil si Fidel ramos noon, ganun din lang ang nakuha niyang boto.

Si Teodoro naman, sabi ni Fernando, ay minus two per cent. Kahit daw i-multiply mo pa ng lima, one per cent pa rin lang ang mahihila niya.

Ngunit hind nawawalan ng pag-asa ang mga data ni Arroyo. Maari pa rin daw mananalo si Teodoro dahil sa “makinarya” nila.

Ano ba ang gagawin ng makinarya? Gagawa ng boto?

At teka nga, di ba dapat mag-resign na si Teodoro sa kanyang pagka-defense secretary para hindi magamit ang kanyang opisina sa kanyang kandidatura?

Dahil si Sen. Noynoy Aquino ang nangunguna ngayon sa survey at siya ay kabilang sa oposisyun maganda ang anggulo na ang laban ay Cojuangco versus Cojuangco. Si Cory, ang nanay ni Noynoy, ay Cojuangco. Ang nanay rin ni Gilbert ay Cojuangco. Tiyo ni Gilbert ang negosyante na si Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco.

Kaya laban na naman ng mayayaman. Ang pulitika kasi sa Pilipinas ay sobrang gastos. Para sa isang kandidato para president, kailangan may P3 bilyon ka. Kaya talagang ang mayayaman lang ang maaring kasali.

Wala namang masama sa mayaman. Kung sa maayos na paraan nai-pundar. Hindi sa pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan. At kung yun ay ginagamit para sa kabutihan ng karamihan.

    Of course!

    “Sa mga survey kulelat si Teodoro. Point 2 per cent. May decimal point yan.”

    Hahaha!!! May decimal point pa!

    Para manalo si Gibo ay kelangan ni Tandang Edong ang maraming makina.

    Ellen,

    Ibig mong sabihin pati si Noli ayaw kay Villar?

    Kung tatanungin mo ako, hindi ako pupusta na si Ronnie Puno ay itutuloy ang kandidatura niya kung hindi maganda ang surveys. Hindi gago si Ronnie para lumaban kahit na walang laban.

  4. Mike Mike

    Aba, ang galing pala ni BF sa arithmetics. Malamang pareho ang nagturo sa kanila ni Gloria ng math. Si Prof. Garci.

  5. Agree ako Manuel.

    doble-triple tuso yang si Ronnie Puno.

  6. At teka nga, di ba dapat mag-resign na si Teodoro sa kanyang pagka-defense secretary para hindi magamit ang kanyang opisina sa kanyang kandidatura?

    If he doesn’t resigng within the next 72 hours, walang delicadeza yan.

    Btw, I believe he will get all out support from Uncle Sam.

  7. chi chi

    If Gibo’s popularity won’t go up beyond his decimal point by early next year, I bet even Tandang Edong, like his milady boobsy, will look for a safe bet in Villar. Gloria will not gamble her ‘future’ with a mere decimal point. Hahaha!!!

  8. manuelbuencamino manuelbuencamino

    AdB,

    I think the US will watch and wait. It’d not wise to place bets before the odds are determined

  9. balweg balweg

    Congrats Gibo Teodoro…isa lang ang request ng Masang Pilipino? Pls. pag-talo sa eleksyon NEVER nýo uling gagamitin ang militar at simbahan para mang-agaw ng Malacanang?

    Kung TALO e di Out, at kung PANALO e di sa inyo ang Malacanang…di ba kasimpleng bagay at wala na dapat pinagtatalunan pa.

    Ang EDSA DOS ay bangungot sa ating lahat…ngayon di pwede itong ituwid ng evil society sapagka’t lakas-tama silang mangarap ng dilat upang muling mapasakamay nila ang Malacanang.

    Dapat sport lang ang laban…walang dayaan sa eleksyon at kung talo wala ng hihirit pa na dinaya? Kasi ang hirap sa ating mga Pinoy…walang makatanggap ng talo sila sa eleksyon mayroon man yon lang matino ang takbo ng kukote.

    Pag-igihin mo at magkakaalam-alam sa 2010 kung sino ang iboboto ng majority! Goodluck.

  10. balweg balweg

    doble-triple tuso yang si Ronnie Puno?

    Tuso man daw ang matsing e napaglalalangan din…ayos ba Kgg. AdeBrux?

  11. florry florry

    First heard of Puno in the camp of Ramos. The next time it’s with Erap and the last time it’s with Big Mike.

    He must be very good in what he does – a political mercenary as in gun for hire.

  12. Jake Las Pinas Jake Las Pinas

    Sayang si Sec. Teodoro. Kung hindi lang sya ang kandidato ng administrasyon, kuha na nya ang boto ko. Naka pagtataka, ang lakas ng loob ni Gibo tumakbo kung ganoon lang na kulelat sya sa survey. Siguro magik ulit ang inaasahan nila sa Mindanao, Cebu etc. o baka humingi na ng technical advice sa mga nag imbento ng digital comm. kung paano dayain ito.

  13. parasabayan parasabayan

    I do not like what the party did to Bayani Fernando. If the party was really set on picking Gibo, why even go through the convention “kuno” to pick their presidential bet. The party should just have flatly told Fernando that he did not have a chance at all!

  14. parasabayan parasabayan

    Puno has been around forever. From the Marcos regime, he had managed to shift gears to still be with the boobuwit now. I do not trust this man. He is slimy!

  15. parasabayan parasabayan

    Jake, the latter(knowing how to manipulate the votting machines) is more like the plan of action. O kaya naman, Gibo has the money, courtesy of the boobuwit to buy his way up to Malacanang. How much does he have to spend to buy all local officials and local votes? Sayang talaga si Gibo, so promising pa naman but he is associated with the most hated and corrupt leader!

    Gibo said running after the boobuwit is not his priority. He also said that CHA-CHA via con con is one of his priorities. For sure he is boobuwit’s extension. I hope he does not win. Between him and Noynoy, I would pick Noynoy instead kahit na lalamya lamya.

  16. parasabayan parasabayan

    For once, Brenda is right about Gibo and Puno!

  17. parasabayan parasabayan

    Besides Jake, hindi katalinuhan ang basehan ng mahusay na pangulo. Nakita na naman natin ang kakayahan ni boobuwit na PHD pa kuno. Yun pala doctorate sa kurarakutan! We need someone who will really have the country’s welfare at heart, not the intelligent pick pocketers!

  18. Kawawang Pilipinas! Wala na talagang pag-asa till 2016! Tiis-tiis, kawawa!!!

  19. Tama ka, PSB, doon sa sinabi mong di kailangan ang talino lalo na kung ang layunin lang ay magnakaw at magkaroon ng title kuno. Ang kailangan ay pagmamahal na tunay sa bayan kasi sa totoo lang, PSB, lahat ng nilalang ng Diyos ay binigyan ng talino para gamitin sa kabutihan. Kaso ang naging orientation ng karamihan sa na-expose ng lubusan sa mga katiwalian ay talino o wala pare-pareho lang, pero mas lamang daw iyong kunyari nakapag-aral pero di naman ginagamit sa kabutihan at kapakanan ng lahat. OK na kung makakalusot! Iyan ang utak ng mga nabugok na!

  20. Pag nanalo pa iyan Gibo na iyan, puede na sigurong pumutok na lahat na bulkan sa Pilipinas kasi tiyak magiging reyna na Gloria Kulimbat at gagawin siyang Earl, Duke, o Baron whatever. Ang tataas ng ambisyon! Samantala, lalo sigurong gutom ang aabutin ng mga di makalabas ng bansa, baka next time di lang pagpag ang kakainin nila!

    Kawawang bansa!

  21. balweg balweg

    Kawawang Pilipinas! Wala na talagang pag-asa till 2016! Tiis-tiis, kawawa!!!

    May Pag-asa pa Igan Grizzy, kita mo na predict pa nila kung masama ang panahon o kaya may bagyo na parating? SMILE naman kasi alam ko na sobra na ang iyong stress…joke, joke, joke……!

    Ang tagal naman ng 2016…wala namang ganyanan, dapat makipag-patintero tayo upang tumino ang kukote ng susunod ng rehime?

    Ang advice nga ng isa nating kablogger e dapat MOAB na ang ibagsak sa pinas ng tumino ang Pinoy? Ang sagot ko naman e RELAX lang….napag-uusapan naman ito na masinsinan at pagdi makuha e wag na!

    “Naka pagtataka, ang lakas ng loob ni Gibo tumakbo kung ganoon lang na kulelat sya sa survey.” — jake

    Papano under demolition na ang mga taga oposisyon courtesy of Mr. Lacson.

  23. Tedanz Tedanz

    Si Noynoy naman ay tinatrabaho na ng mga pare. Nakatuka naman si Mikey kay Chiz. Bilib ako talaga dito sa grupo ng mga palaka.

  24. parasabayan parasabayan

    Will the opposition have the balls to “demolish” Gibo too and Puno? Do not tell me upright itong dalawang ito? Not in boobuwit’s kingdom!

  25. vonjovi2 vonjovi2

    Pa aandarin nila ang “MAKIRNARYA”.

    Lalabas na sina Garci at Abalos sa oras ng bilangan ng balota mapa machine or mano mano pa iyan.

    Iyan ang makirnarya nila.

  26. chi chi

    “May balita na baka raw mag-endorso si De Castro kay Noynoy Aquino. Ano yun, tumatalon na sa lumulubog na barko ni Arroyo si De Castro?”

    Malamang ay utos yan ng ABS-CBN bossing na maka-Noynoy. Kung gayun ay malabo ng pumayag si Kabayad na maging VP ni Villar.
    Mabuti na balik-tagabasa ng news na lang si Kabayad tutal ay nasubukan na rin siya at wala namang exceptional na naging serbisyo sa publiko bilang VP. Iba naman!

  27. parasabayan parasabayan

    Chi, kabayad may not be as greedy as the boobuwit afterall but I am pretty sure he already saved up a LOT for a rainy day. What is the name “kabayad” for?

  28. Si Noynoy naman ay tinatrabaho na ng mga pare.

    What do you mean, Tedanz? Hinihikayat nila siyang pumasok sa pagpapari? OK iyan. Mas bagay pa siguro sa kaniya. Tiyak, matutulungan na niyang maligtas iyong wayward na kapatid niya!

    O baka sabihin na naman, “walang ganyanan, Yuko!” 😛

  29. Tiyak panalo na iyong mga manok ni Gloria. May kikilos ba kung sakaling mabisto sila ulit?

    At saka paniwala naman ba kayong may silbi iyong mga biniling automatic counting machine na tiyak reretokihin din. I bet you, parang metro ng taxi sa Manila ang mangyayari diyan para madaya ang bilang.

    Puro appointee yata ni Unano ang nakaupo sa COMELEC. Tapos di pa naman patay si Garci at Abalos, plus tiyak may bagong kukunin na taga-note kuno at di na si Pangilinan unless bumalimbing na naman ang ungas.

    Balweg, huwag ka nang umasa na may mangyayari between now and 2016!

  30. PSB:

    Lamentably, sira na ang Opposition ngayon pa lang. No thanks to Mr. Lacson sabi nga ni Tedanz.

  31. walang grassroots support yung chosen admin candidate ni maam. puro astroturf yan.

  32. Kulit kasi ni Erap. Di na lang magsuporta ng magaling gaya ni BGen. Lim o Col. Querubin. Gumawa siya ng isang blockbuster na documentary ala Farenheit 9 11 ni Michael Moore, na kumita ng milyon dolyares tapos ibigay niya sa campaign fund ng dalawa, tiyak patok sila.

    Kawawang Pilipinas! Nasadlak na talaga sa dusa!

  33. Nasusuka ako sa website ni Bayani Fernando masyadong nagmamayabang he is proud na meron siyang dugo ni Lakandula at kamag-anak daw niya si Gloria.

  34. Walang grassroot support pero kanila iyong counting machine that will function like those tampered taxi meters in Manila. 😛 Parang di naman ninyo kilatis ang balat ng mga unggoy. Wala naman kasing malakas ang loob na magprotesta talaga at magbulgar sa mga kurakot nila! Puro grandstanding lang. Privilege speech pa kuno!!!

  35. Tiyak panalo na iyong mga manok ni Gloria. May kikilos ba kung sakaling mabisto sila ulit?

    Paano mandadaya kung halos walang boboto sa kanila.

  36. Galing ng mga ungas na magpeke ng mga document sa totoo lang. Tignan mo na lang ang ginawa nila kunyari kay FPJ. May tampered document silang prinisenta. Kaya nilang mag-produce ng mga pekeng dokumento to prove their false claims. Di ako bilib!

  37. Hocus-pocus, Mumbaki. Magic sabi nga! Bakit anong akala mo saan kinuha ni Gloria iyong sinasabing 1M lamang niya kay FPJ? Abrakadabra sin boom ba! 😛

  38. Kaya nga tawag ni Susan Roces doon sa tapalani, “Magnanakaw na Sinungaling pa!”

  39. Sabi ko nga sa iyo, Mumbaki, magaling iyong anak sa Internet at siyang nagsasabog ng mga false claims na ito to justify iyong claim nilang dugong bughaw sila at di dugong aso. Intiende?

  40. Sorry, hindi ako kakagat sa publicity stunts ng mga dugong aso especially because I know where to get more valid information and do a more sensible research.

    Mahilig daw kayong mga mormons na mag-keep ng mga family records..

  41. Nasusuka ako diyan kay Gibo.

  42. Yup, Mumbaki, kasi kailangan sa ginagawa namin sa temple namin as we believe in the kinship of men, at tayong lahat ay kapamilya nina Eva at Adan.

    I hope Gloria Lukamberat will not claim that Adam and Eve were kapampangans, too! 😛

  43. …pupukpukin daw niya sa ulo ang nagke-claim na dugong aso sila! Lagot!

  44. Sa mga survey kulelat si Teodoro. Point 2 per cent. May decimal point yan.

    hahaha!

    i am loving the humor in this entry pero true na true hahaha

    Kaya pala nagkaloko-loko na ang ating traffic management sa mga pangunahing lansangan ay iba ang matimatika ni ka Bayani. Iyong mga ginawa niyang panharang sa mga abusadong tsuper ng mga pampasaherong sasakyan ay nagiging sanhi ng mga aksidente. May kinalam din kaya ito sa kanyang mathematical formula?

    Kung kulelat man si Teodoro, malamang mas kulelat pa si Bayani Fernando kung siya ang nahirang na standard bearer ng partido ni lola Goryang.

  46. Eggplant Eggplant

    Iyang si Kabayadg, este Kabayan Noli de Castro naman ay magaling manimbang sa mga bagay-bagay. Fall back niya ang ABS-CBN kaya hindi niya tinanggap ang alok ni Mother Glory (the Nanay of Luli and wife of FG) na maging standard bearer para sa Lakas-Kampi-CMD. Malamang maging bise pa siya ni Noynoy na sinasabi nilang Network candidate(ABS-CBN?)kung hindi tatanggapin ni Mar Roxas ang alok ni Noynoy na maging running mate niya. Matunog si Kabayan, alam niyang palubog na ang bangka ni Mother Glory kaya eto tumatalon na siya ngayon. Sana mali ako sa aking haka-haka.

  47. Eggplant Eggplant

    Mumbaki nasusuka ka ba talaga kay Gibo? Aba matindi ang amoy ng sukang Iloko.

    It seems na tipo yata ni lelong Juan Ponce Enrile na maging presidente iyang si Gibo. If ever, mauuso na naman ang pagkaing saluyot at saka pinapaitan sa Malacanang. May Solid North pa ba? Baka susuportahan din nina madam Imelda itong si Gibo dahil kaalyado naman nila dati ang kanyang uliteg (tito) na si mang Danding Cojuanco.

    Kaya pala sabi ni Gibo gusto niyang maging Ramos at Magsaysay ang kanyang style sa pamumuno ng bansa, parehong Ilokano speaking itong mga dating presidente na binanggit niya.

    Ilokano votes for Gibo? Malaking puhunan niyan Noynoy kaya pasyalan mo nangayon ang lahat ng mga sulok ng Northern Luzon.

  48. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Tested na ang makinarya ng Administrasion noon 2007 national election. Kulelat ang Team Unity ni Gloria. Dahil kay Bedol nakasingit si Zubiri. Sa totoo lang hindi maasahan ang mga local officials para ikampanya ang mga kandidato ng Malacanang. Ibig sabihin hangang diaryo lang ang kanilang makinarya.

  49. MPRivera MPRivera

    Genealogy na pala ang usapan dito kaya magpapaalam muna ako’t lilipad papuntang Jupiter para hanapin ang aking mga kamag-anak doon. Nabasa ko sa diary ng lolo naming classmate ni Matusalem ay may blood relation kami nina Pluto, Mercury at Kupido. Napangasawa daw kasi ng lolo ko sa kuko ang nanay ni Venus.

  50. totingmulto totingmulto

    MPRivera,

    HAK! HAK! HAK!

  51. totingmulto totingmulto

    Kung ano anong pumasok sa utak.

    Kawawang bayan!

  52. Grizzy and Mumbaki, I get complaints from some bloggers here that your off-topic exchanges on genealogy are distracting.

    I think you should be considerate of others.

    Just in ordinary personal interaction, you should try to stick to the topic.

    If you introduce off-topic items and wala namang pumi-pick up, please don’t insist on it.

    Now, if you two want to continue your discussion of it, please let me know if it’s okay for the two of you for me to give you each other’s e-mail addresses so you can do the discussion between the two of you.

    Thanks.

    I just got carried away lang but I try my best to still relate it back to the subect.

  54. Will the opposition have the balls to “demolish” Gibo too and Puno? Do not tell me upright itong dalawang ito? Not in boobuwit’s kingdom!

    I don’t see the need for a demolition job. By mere association, demolished na sila, e.

    Being admin candidates, they’d have to run on a platform of continuity. That’s by default. Who, in his right mind, would vote for a continuation of Aling Gloria’s policies?

  55. Bayani Fernando claims that he is a descendant of Lakandula para marami ang mainspire ang mga tao na botohin siya bilang president,sa totoo lang kasama lang siya ni Gloria sa mga nangungurakot.

  56. martina martina

    Pang display lang si Gibo. Ang tunay na manok nina Pidal ay nakamaskara at may balatkayo at nakikihilera sa hanay ng tinatawag na opposition.

    Pinagtatawanan ko lang nga sila eh akala nila hindi sila mabubuking sa mga kabalastugan na ginagawa nila ni Gloria.

    I really hate Gibo,Puno and Fernando,they irritate me,Villar also irritates me as well…

  58. Si Noynoy naman ay tinatrabaho na ng mga pare.

    Gusto ni Cardinal Vidal na iatras ni Noynoy ang suporta niya sa Reproductive Health Bill. If Noynoy blinks here, masisira na siya sa paningin ko.

    Nabasa ko sa ilang post na nag-abstain daw si Noynoy sa CARP. Mauunawaan ko pa ito. Kung bumoto siya laban sa interes ng mga haciendero, lilipad tiyak ang mga hakahakang nagpapapogi lang siya. Kung nanindigan naman siya sa panig ng mga haciendero, lilipad tiyak ang mga batikos laban sa kanya dahil sa Luisita.

  59. Pang display lang si Gibo. Ang tunay na manok nina Pidal ay nakamaskara at may balatkayo at nakikihilera sa hanay ng tinatawag na opposition.

    Naexpose na natin si Villar,e di bakit di natin i-expose yung mga ibang pakawala ng mga Pidal,sinabi ko nga sa Tatay ko na kilala si Villar,Villar is not a good choice for being president.

  60. Genealogy na pala ang usapan dito kaya magpapaalam muna ako’t lilipad papuntang Jupiter para hanapin ang aking mga kamag-anak doon. Nabasa ko sa diary ng lolo naming classmate ni Matusalem ay may blood relation kami nina Pluto, Mercury at Kupido. Napangasawa daw kasi ng lolo ko sa kuko ang nanay ni Venus.

    Pareng Magno, pinatawa mo ako nang husto, ah. Nakalimutan ko tuloy na Ramadhan nga pala… nawala tuloy ang gutom ko.

  61. Para sa isang kandidato para president, kailangan may P3 bilyon ka. Kaya talagang ang mayayaman lang ang maaring kasali.

    In other words, kailangan bilyonaryo ang kandidato. How many billionaires have we got in Pinas?

    Are all the candidates billionaires? Is Noynoy a billionaire? Teodoro? Erap? Fernando? Binay? Escudero?

    But even if they are billionaires and have the 3 billion pesos to spend, I’m not too sure they will be spending all those personal billions for their campaign; unless they are avowed philantrophists (or masochists)…

    If they are not personally billionaires, they will have to source the billions somewhere else? From their supporters perhaps?

  62. How many Filipino voters are there who could donate into the billions that a candidate expects to spend? I guess, even if 1 million voters avidly supporting a candidate will not total 1 billion pesos in campaign donations so where does or will a candidate get the rest?

    From friends perhaps (like what some Erap die hard commenters here suggest)? One billion is a lot of money, let alone 3 billion pesos.

    And will those friends not expect anything in return for those billions of “investment”?

  63. I doubt it very much — I doubt that hard nosed businessmen (even if they are very very close, extremely close to a candidate) will put tens and tens, hundreds of millions into a candidate’s campaign kitty without strings attached, eg., govt contracts, govt largesse, govt whatever!

    It is imperative that the Filipino voters demand of the candidates, primo: devulge sources of their campaign funds as they go along, secundo, publicly pledge that donors will not be given rewards, eg., juicy govt contracts, in “exchange” for donations (I do believe that businessmen donors have the right to participate in govt contract biddings on the condition that they not be given better “terms” than the other bidders), etc.

  64. Good governance is difficult to achieve but it’s doable — Filipinos must be vigilant and must accept that there can not be double standards of honesty for any of the candidates.

  65. Filipinos must remember that if a donor or financial supporter of a candidate “invests” in a candidate, that donor expects to get back his investment in one form or the other when the candidate wins.

    And if the ROI is in terms of a juicy govt contract (that’s overpriced), the money for that contract is the Filipino taxpayers’ money, public money, the nation’s money, hence it is he/she/Filipino voters will be paying the ROI eventually.

    It is double jeopardy for voters and Pinoys in general. Firstly, they are being crapped on the heads, dinadaya sila; secondly, for every cent of ROI that’s given to that donor/investor by way of overpriced, or juicy contracts, that’s money being taken away from another govt or publicly-funded project that perhaps should be destined instead to take care of your children’s education, health, security, etc.

  66. Magno, Nakalimutan mo na bang yung mga ninuno mo ay napadpad lang sa Mily Way Galaxy? Original silang taga-M31 galaxy sa constellation na Andromeda. Sa totoo lang, ang mga father-side ko galing din doon sabi ng lola ko at ipinalista na nga namin yan dahil baka sa Universal Registry e mapeke na naman, sa totoo lang. Kaya sa tingin ko magkamag-anak tayo.

    Kaya lahat ng pamilya ko, pinakuha na namin ng Extended y-chromosome 37-marker DNA test kasi may pinsan ako na kahawig yung strands nung kay Darth Vader at yung lola ko ay may similarity din siya nung DNA ni Luke Skywalker.

    Hay naku. May The Force be with you!

  67. Sorry, Ellen, but I was just trying to correct these things Mumbaki is posting here and in other loops about these kapampangans populating Bulacan, etc. that is in fact a distortion of facts and Philippine history.

    I’ve just checked with my friend who did his masteral thesis on the ethnopolitics of the Philippines and he told me never heard. Thus, making me more desirous to correct this hoax the Pidal Internet Brigade is posting here and there to justify the cheat’s claim that she is royalty. Just for a fact, Lakandula had dominion of that area of present Manila called “Tondo” and surrounding areas that made up what became the former Rizal province.

    I thought people there should not allow the creep to deprive them of their own history that is in fact difficult to put together because a lot many of the artifacts, etc. are stolen by crooks, antique dealers, etc.

    As Balweg has quoted, “Ang hindi marunong tumingin sa paroroonan ay walang paroroonan.” In fact, a lot many Filipinos do not really strongly feel for their country because a lot of them do not really know their history.

    End of the story!

  68. Ninanakawan na nga sila ng boto, pati history nila ninanakaw na rin. Puede patigilin na ang mga pagnanakaw ng mga Pidal?

  69. …Oops, “ang hindi marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan ay walang paroroonan.” Very true indeed!

  70. Pag pinabayaan pang manalo na naman itong Gibo wala na talagang pag-asa. Ayan sinasabi na nga ng mokong na uunahin niya ang ChaCha. Tapos tatakbo iyong wannabe queen as Congresswoman at susuhulan ang mga kasama niya kung manalo siya sa Tongress na gawin siyang Speaker of the House. Wala na talagang pag-asa, mape-permanente na iyan!

    Dapat din ingatan iyong mga automatic counting machine. Sila ang nagko-control niyon. Baka labas katulad ng mga taxi meter sa Pilipinas, ang bilis ng bilang para sa manok ni Gloria. Pag-nangyari iyon, ano ang gagawin ng mga ayaw daw kay Gloria? Iyan ang tanong.

  71. …to correct this hoax the Pidal Internet Brigade is posting here and there to justify the cheat’s claim that she is royalty.

    Personally? I don’t give a shit about what Pidal says concerning his lineage. Really not interested in all that sort drivel.

    But I can see where you are coming from, Yuko. I seem to recall you saying that you are blue blooded(?).

    Anyway, enough of that sort of crap. Am more interested to know how or where these candidates will get the money to finance their campaign.

  72. No to Trapos daw sabi ng ilan dito, pero here come the trapos pa rin. Pagulong-gulong lang sila, minsan sa ibaba, minsan sa itaas. At itong si Danding Cojuangco, mukhang siya ang nagko-control ng politika panahon pa ni Marcos, maski yata noong nakaupo si Cory via doon sa mga under his payroll na nasa administration noon. Tahimik na mama, pero matinik magtrabaho. Parang magic!

  73. Tawa ako sa storya ni Magno!

  74. Wait… may guideline na pala…

    I just read Ellen’s guideline here and out of respect for her as our host, we should stop all the drivel on this Pidal lineage or whatever.

  75. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, si Teodoro at si Fernado nga pala.

  76. Umalis na tuloy si MPR, dahil siguro sa inis — MPR, balik ka na! Wala na sa usapan ang genealogy. May request na si Ellen na balik na sa topic…

    Pati si Tongue nawala…

  77. chi chi

    Ang saya, hahaha!

    Anyway, testing lang ang ginawa ko sa ngalan na Gilberto Teodoro. 20 pamilya na kapitbahay namin sa Bataan ang ipinasampol ko sa aking kapatid kung kilala nila si Gibo.

    Mga tanong: Ano na namang klaseng aso yan ni Ate Glue?, Nakakain ba yan? Sino ba s’ya?. Kasama ba yan sa nagpahirap at nambugbog kay Trillanes?

    Heto ang magandang komento: “Ate, mag-aambag kami para ibigay kay Teodoro at himukin siya na huwag nang tumakbo”. Hehehe!

    MPR and Tongue, you made my day! Hahahaha!!!

    Teka, kagabi pa ako sana meron tanong pero kakahiya na makisingit sa genealogy topic.

    Hmmm,nakalimutan ko tuloy…

    Sino nga ba si Bayani Fernando bago naging taga-walis ni Gloria?

  80. chi chi

    Nami-miss ko ang katalasan (sharpness) ng aking mga kababaryo.

  81. Right Chi — sino nga ba si Fernando? I think mayor siya ng Markina? And then MMDC(?) chair after Toting Bunye?

    But apart from that, I don’t know his political genealogy 🙂

  82. I don’t even know Teodoro — what did he exactly do before he joined govt? What is his political genealogy?

  83. Si Edong Ermita pala ang point man ni Teodoro sa party. Wow! I sincerely hope the generals will not allow themselves to be used during the election.

    Like, patayin ang kuryente, brown out, etc., during automated voting.

  84. Have you heard?

    Estrada files libel rap vs businessman, PDI

    Goody good … so we will know the truth.

  85. chi chi

    “Am more interested to know how or where these candidates will get the money to finance their campaign.”

    Si Gibo, no problemo. Nandyan ang ‘makinarya’ ni Gloria at kwarta ni Juan c/o Gloria.

    Si Villar, no problemo. Nandyan si Cynthia at si Gloria.

    Si Noynoy, no problemo. Nandyan ang MCB at elitistas.

    Si Erap, no problemo. Dudukot lang sa malalim na ‘bulsa’.

    Si Loren, me problema. Hindi na makakuha ng donor si Angara.

    Si Chiz, me problema. Ngayon at namamayagpag si Noynoy sa survey ay baka hindi na siya alagwahan (release) ng bilyunes ni Danding (as you said, there’s no free lunch). He’s no longer as cheesy as before.

    Kung sinuman ang magdedeklara sa KOMOLEK ng buong campaign donations ay engot (stupido), ayon sa kultura-politika ng Pinas.

    Look at Noli Kabayad, yumaman dahil sa ‘donasyon’, pati isla nga ay na-donate sa kanya ni delos Angeles, Pinas’ Madoff. Best decision to just enjoy the ‘katas’ of his vice-presidency at bumalik na lang siya sa news reading kesa sa problemahin si Gloria.

  86. Good sum up Chi.

    Si Loren, me problema. Hindi na makakuha ng donor si Angara.

    Kasi she dumped Tony after Tony became almost impoverished.

  87. eddfajardo eddfajardo

    Akala ko Bar topnotcher itong si Gibo. Eh, kung sa simpling survey ay ang pagbabasehan, mukhang hindi niya naiintindihan ang mathematics of point 2 percent. May decimal point na katulad din ni Bayani. Iyan ang problema sa mga tuta ng administrasyon ni Gloria, wala na talagang mapag-pilian. Si Bayani sobra ang bilib sa sarili at gusto pang sabihin sa mundo na guwapo daw siya. Kawawang nilalang, kawawang bansa!

  88. Anna, Gilbert Teodoro is the son of Ditas Cojuangco , sister of Danding, and Bert Teodoro, formerly chair of the Social Security System.

    Married to Nikki Prieto, whose mother, Mary Beth Lopez (sister of Diana Jean Lopez)shot and killed their family nurse who refused to tell her where’s the house of the mistress of her second husband, Joe Vincent Madrigal.

    He studied in La Salle, UP and Harvard. Bar topnotcher. He was congressman of Tarlac before he became defense secretary.

  89. Ellen,

    Thanks. Big time pala. (Who is Diana Jean Lopez, related to Meralco’s Lopezes?)

    Was his mother in law jailed?

  90. I read an article somewhere in which wife was quoted saying that they (she and Teodoro) wouldn’t settle for less than top slot, i.e., presidential slot, if they (he) ran in 2010.

    Well, looks like it’s done deal. So wifey is calling the shots too…

  91. Ooops, apologies, the exact quote is here:

    “If he is not the anointed, I’m going to tell you now truthfully that there are many very powerful people who are backing Secretary Teodoro. And they said that if it’s not [him as standard-bearer], they will bolt their own party,” Nikki Teodoro told reporters without naming names.

  92. No, Anna. Marybeth Lopez was never jailed. They paid the nurse’s family so no charges was filed.

    The wife is pretty but impresses me as snooty.

  93. “there are many very powerful people who are backing Secretary Teodoro”

    Hmmm… who might they be?

  94. Ellen,

    Wow! No charges were filed? puwede ba yon? From my understanding, homicide is not a question of financial negotiations between killer and victim’s family. I thought they do that in Muslim countries only.

    What did the police do?

    Oh my! Oh my!

  95. What did the police do? Nothing.

    Those in the know say Marybeth Lopez stayed in the house of the Teodoros in Forbes Park before a settlement was worked out with the nurse’s family.

    That shows how he “respects” the law.

    When the Teodoros guested in “Strictly Politics”, Pia Hontiveros asked them about it and Nikki said, “But there was no charge against her.”

    Just like that. Someone was killed and there was no crime.

  96. The crime happened while they were in a van inside BF Resort in Las Pinas (where the mistress lived).

    I understand Teodoro’s mother-in-law, Marybeth, just wanted to threaten the nurse with a gun to make her lead her (Marybeth) to the house of her husband’s mistress. But the gun went off.

  97. Tedanz Tedanz

    Dito lang makikita na ang Batas natin ay para sa mayayaman at mga maimpluensiyang tao lamang.

  98. Ellen, si Diana Jean Lopez yung artista in the 60s(?) na mukhang manika na kapartner ni Erap?

    Kaya naman pala maganda din yang si Nikki. Na-meet ko sa isang inauguration. Sexy, nagmumura ang cleavage, lampas-ulo kung tumingin sa tao. Pero Prieto siya, hindi Madrigal. Sino ang ama?

  99. Someone was killed and there was no crime.

    Holy shit! No charge?

  100. Teka, si Gilbert ay Teodoro, si Bayani tubong-Marikina na hawak ng Teodoro political clan bago sumikat si Bayani at Des, at parang nabasa ko somewhere descendant din either Bayani or Des ng mga Teodoro. Tignan mo nga naman, parang merry-go-round.

  101. Sinong Diana Jean Lopez na artista? Can’t remember her? I remember Susan Roces and Amalia Fuentes.

  102. Isn’t the Inquirer owned by the Rufinos and the Prietos?

  103. OT: Ellen, yung latest column mo sa Malaya putol yung 3rd to the last paragraph, nandoon pa naman sa climax, nabitin ako.

  104. I must talk to my mother about these people — don’t know/havent heard about them at all. (My mother is my source of gossip on society politics in Pinas… heheh!)

  105. Diana Jean Lopez is not the same as the actress Jean Lopez. She is a socialite.

    She was in the business chismis column of Vic Agustin a few years ago when the house in Dasmariñas Village that businessman Rodolfo Cuenca had given her was being taken from her by the children of Cuenca.

    It turned out that the house was never transferred in her name. Not so smart, eh.

  106. Marine Col. Ariel Querubin said Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., who has been chosen as the administration’s standard bearer for the May 2010 elections, should ensure the military will not be involved in cheating operations.

    “Everybody has the right to run for any post in the government… But he (Teodoro) should not use his office to devise another cheating scandal. A repeat of `Hello Garci’ will not sit well with the rank and file of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. That will not be allowed anymore,” he said.

    OK! That’s a fair warning, Teodoro, you had better listen. This time, magagalit na ang mga military. Before hindi pa sila galit!

  107. Right on, Colonel! That’s the right thing to say.

  108. chi chi

    Have same question with Anna. Is Nikki Prieto related to the owners of the Inquirer? Are these Prietos Bicolanos/as?

  109. chi chi

    So she was that Jean Lopez, beauty without brains.

  110. Yes, Nikki is related to the Prietos that own the Inquirer. Marybeth Lopez first husband was a Prieto. Joe Vincent Madrigal is the second husband.

  111. It turned out that the house was never transferred in her name. Not so smart, eh.

    You mean she was the mistress of the businessman? A la Chavit Singson style? No house for mistress?

  112. Chi, the mother of Nikki is NOT Jean Lopez, the actress. Her mother is Diana Jean Lopez, the socialite.

  113. Joe Vincent Madrigal is the second husband.

    Oh, she is a widow…

  114. Madrigal as in Jamby Madrigal?

  115. Anna: You mean she was the mistress of the businessman? A la Chavit Singson style? No house for mistress?

    You got it, Anna.

  116. Anna: Madrigal as in Jamby Madrigal?

    Yes. Related to Jamby.

    I’m not so sure if it’s Joe Vincent Madrigal de Leon. But one of the parents is a Madrigal.

  117. Oh my… our politics is really ‘incestual’, isn’t it?

  118. Now, I understand bakit si Joma and his friends in the CCP are galit na galit — they say Pinas is held/owned/controlled by only a few families.

  119. Tongue, my column is posted here.

  120. chi chi

    Read a news last night that EK won’t ask Gibo to resign. It forebodes of what to come….

    Kaya nga ba ngayon pa lang ay ikinakampanya ko ng husto si Gen. Lim at Colonel Ariel. Aba, mahirap nang magsisi sa huli na pinakawalan natin ang opportunity at basta na lang ibigay kay Gibo ang trono ng walang laban.

    Hurray to you Col. Querubin for making that “fair” warning. Yan ang aking hinihintay coming from you. Thanks so very much.

  121. chi chi

    Got it, Ellen. Nakakalito ang mga socialites na ito.

  122. Read a news last night that EK won’t ask Gibo to resign.

    P°°°°°°°na nilang lahat! He should resign. He is only a member of cabinet and not one who was elected by the people. He IS NOT indispensable in that department.

    This is outrageous. How can he even begin to think that people won’t be suspicious that he will not use defence dept for election purposes.

    Baboy utak!!!

  123. Querubin MUST WIN!

    He is the people’s sword and shield against those who abuse and will abuse power.

  124. Chi,

    Let’s start our own socialites group, puwede ba yon? 🙂 🙂 🙂

  125. Ellen’s socialite group! hihihihihih! 🙂 🙂 🙂

  126. Puro lang tayo social climber dito, hehehe.

  127. chi chi

    Yan nga ang news na gusto kong iposte last night pa, Anna. I withheld na lang dahil matatabunan.

  128. chi chi

    Saang trellies tayo aakyat, Anna? Ha!ha!ha!

  129. Back to Teodoro, does he belong to the same Teodoro (Ang Tibay) clan of Marikina?

  130. Marines, chi, Marines! hihihihi!

  131. Oo nga pala, Tongue, Teodoros of Ang tibay… (I had shoes from Ang tibay when I was a toddler!)

  132. If so, then FVR is close to Teodoros too. Because the last president of FVR’s defence/AFP company set up with soldiers’ funds, Vetronics, was headed by a Teodoro.

    Vetronics, despite the constant cash infusion by the hundreds of millions, went kaput!

  133. Dito lang makikita na ang Batas natin ay para sa mayayaman at mga maimpluensiyang tao lamang.

    It is because we allow it na magkaganon,dapat ipaglaban natin ang rights natin kaysa sa sisihan ng sisihan at putak ng putak nasa dios ang awa nasa tao ang gawa.

  134. Puro lang tayo social climber dito, hehehe.

    Well, at least sa atin atin lang here in Ellenville. We are not annointing anyone to be our standard bearer in the election.

    Wait, unless we “annoint” you, Tongue! Accept ka ba?

  135. I’m not sure, Tongue, if his father was related to the Teodoro’s of Ang Tibay. I will ask.

  136. Ring bearer nga hindi ako pwede, standard bearer pa? Lol~!

  137. chi chi

    AdeBrux – September 18, 2009 12:09 am

    Marines, chi, Marines! hihihihi!

    Madali, lalo na kapag Senadoras na sina Mrs. Aloy at Mrs. Pong, hehehe! Ibang klase na socialites tayo niyan, kasama lahat ang kafatids na “badings” at badangs, walang iwanan.

  138. henry90 henry90

    OT:

    Navy admitted that one of its marine personnel taking up NEPIC(intel course for EP)was caught conducting casing of the house of Prof Lumberta, a National Artist and member of BAYAN. . .Naawa ako kay mate Ed Valong ng Navy sa kapapaliwanag kung bakit tinitiktikan ng Navy si Lumberta. Random selection daw ang targets. . .hehehe. . .Mistah, graduate din ako dyan sa NITI. . .target talaga ang mga leftist organizations. . .panahon namin, paboritong pagparaktisang pasukin yang KMU HQ sa may Intramuros. . .very slow lang yung bata nyo. . .very lax pa. . .nahuli na, nagpasunog pa. . .tiyak bagsak yun sa klase nila. . . .lol

  139. Chi! Of course, lahat dito sa Ellenville kasama sa socialite group when Lim and Querubin become senators… lead socialites si senadoras… Did those prietos and teodoros and pidals and whoever think sila lang.

    Hah! I’m sure Pia Hontiveros, when she interviews the lead socialites (Tongue is lead socialit, minus the “e”), Mesdames Aloy and Pong (sino ba si Pong?), there’s no homicide or murder charge issue involving their families to raise …

  140. Henry,

    Kawawa naman iyong EP. I hope he said he was just following orders.

    Anyway, why was he casing the house of a National Artist?

  141. Henry, I texted Col Arevalo congratulating him for surviving the questioning of Pia Hontiveros and Tony Velasquez without losing his composure.

    I told him, there must be an easier way to earn a living.

    He just laughed.

  142. From John Hitlaw:

    Sa UK ang Prime minister hindi guma-gastos ng halagang three billion pesos for political campaign.Alam ng tao kung sino ang kanilang pipiliin.

  143. Cool, calm, collected under fire… that’s good!

  144. henry90 henry90

    Anna:

    Casing is one of the subjects taught in that EP intel course. Normally, students don’t have any ideas what or who their targets are. Pre-selected ng school yan. Mya mga EEIs ka lang na dapat isatisfy. Kalimitan, address lang talaga ibibigay sa yo. From there, bahala ka na mag improvise to find out more about that particular target/person of interest. . .malamang eto ang nagyari sa EP na yun. . .Kulang kumbaga sa backstopping yung cover/cover story nya. . .hayun, pumiyok agad ng mabisto. . .hehe

  145. hayun, pumiyok agad ng mabisto. . .hehe

    good lad (but bad image for the school! imagine if he was being paid some 17,000 pesos a month only (ok, not sure if that’s an EP’s salary today), but even with some overtime pay, why should he take all the heat?

    Send them Esperon to case the house! At least, he’s made plenty of kurakot already and MAKES more than 17,000 pesos a month in CUMULATIVE earnings, legal and not.

  146. Henry,

    Sino pa ang casing nila? Kilala mo ba? Squal naman dito…

  147. Wait, back to my question, why was he ordered to case the house of a natl artist?

  148. chi chi

    Anna, si Mrs. Pong ay si Mrs. Querubin. Gustong-gusto ko s’ya na tawagin na Mrs. Pong, may strength ang sound e. 🙂

  149. Ang lufet nung isang thread, 357 comments na, still going strong. May ginawa nga akong comment na may timeline at links ng lahat incidents prior to the muddy exchange between Ping and Jinggoy, sa haba, tinatamad na akong i-post hindi naman binabasa, yun pa ring lumang argumento ang ipinipilit.

  150. chi chi

    362 na Tongue, kumirap ka lang. Emotional kasi ang thread na yan kaya idinudukduk (forcing through) ang ibang mensahe. May election fever na talaga!

  151. Chi, thanks!

    Tongue, I’m sure binasa ang post mo which is very comprehensive, but as chi said, Erap case is so emotional to a lot of people who believe that Eraps is right even if he is wrong or whatever.

  152. henry90 henry90

    Anna:

    I don’t know why they would case the house of Prof Lumberta. . .gusto lang siguro magkaroon ng holdings yung CI group ng NISF. Ganun talaga pinapagawa sa estudyante sa NITI kaya maraming ayaw mag schooling ng intel dyan. . .mahirap at delikado. . .pag mahina loob mo, sunog ka agad. . . Why Navy? Specialty ng NISF ang mga CPP/NPA. . .Popoy Lagman and several hi-profile NPA targets were collared by NISF. . .this is not a confidential matter. . . kahit tanungin nyo pa si Kgg. Edcel Lagman. . . hehe. . .kaso lang kulang sa suporta mga students kaya mahina yung backstopping sa cover nila. . .dinadaan na lang sa lakas ng loob. . .Marines e!hehehe

  153. Great lowdown Henry!

    Ed Santos was N2 then when they collared Popoy Lagman under Billy Marcelo. Police didn’t want to move despite clear intel report so Ed went to Billy for authorization to move in. No hesitation on Billy’s part — ayan huli si Lagman.

  154. Who is NSIF chief today?

  155. Why Navy? Specialty ng NISF ang mga CPP/NPA. .

    Maybe because they are more discreet? Used to being from the Silent Service?

    Have you always been with PCG? PCG used to have an excellent guy who refused to get involved with shenanigans and so left Navy/PCG — I think just before PCG joined DOTC — and so went back to PMA to be full time instructor: Capt Morales.

  156. My favourite PCG chief was Commo Capada, Class 63 because he was funny, medyo forgetful, hehehe!

  157. henry90 henry90

    Who is NSIF chief today?

    Capt ‘Hero’ Gaerlan-84

  158. WOW! Talk about a treasure-trove of titillating trivia in this blog. And all from a credible crowd about a deceptively boring topic.. Bravo, guys and gals.

  159. Forgot to mention my genetic genealogy as a true-blue greenish Martian. Tongue can authenticate.

  160. Here’s Inquirer’s story on the Navy’s embarrassing training mission: “A bumbling spy named Hannibal”

    I understand the mission was just to verify raw info that there were leftist personalities frequenting that house, that happens also to be the office of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers, a militant teachers’ organization.

  161. Reynz, I read your post on the bigotry of some of the bloggers. That’s really unfortunate. I don’t share it.

  162. henry90 henry90

    Mam Ellen:

    That’s a half-truth. Naipit lang si Ed Arevalo kaya yun ang sagot. Let me put it this way. Pag kasali ka sa mga front organizations ng NDF/CPP/NPA, lalo na at high-profile figure ka like Prof Lumberta, tiyak kasama ka sa OB. I’m sure kasama ka rin dun Mam Ellen dahil kritiko ka ni putot. May mga holdings na automatic yan. Now, dito sa intel course na to, wala talagang alam dyan mga estudyante. Basta ibigay lang sa yo ang address at bibigyan ka lang ng tinatawag ng EEIs(essential elements of info)na kailangan mong sagutin. Take note na alam na nila ang mga sagot diyan. Susubukan ka lang kung talagang tatatrabahuin mo. Ang sste ang mga pobreng stdents, gagawin lahat yan kahit delikado basta pumasa lang. Nakakahiya kapag na RTU ka. And besides, schooling is a welcome respite for battle weary soldiers like the poor marine, hannibal. Marami sa amin noon ang nababaril, pinapahabol sa aso pag nabubuking o mas matindi nahuli na nag infiltrate dun sa hanay ng mga nagraraling militante. Nabubugbog.Dito nasusukat ang kagalingan ng isang maniniktik. Kung paano di masunog. . .dapat mabilis syang tumakbo. . .hehe

  163. Thanks, Henry. I sympathized with him (Col Arevalo) when he was being grilled by Pia. Mabuti lang phone patch, not face- to- face interview.

  164. henry90 henry90

    Yeah. . .i would imagine so. . .it would have been very discomforting for him squirming in his seat in front of the cameras. . .pero ok yan si balong. . .can take yan. . .

  165. Just got this statement from Col. Edgard Arevalo, spokesperson and director of the Naval Public Affairs office:

    We are happy that the good Prof Lumbera accepts our apology. We have already said that he was not subject of a surveillance. The student is on an information verification task per a given academic situation. Recognizing the apprehension of our countrymen, the Navy has stopped the conduct of the practical exercises and, on its own initiative, initiated an inquiry on the incident.

    Further, Adm Ferdinand Golez, the Flag-Officer-in-Command of the Philippine Navy has ordered the re-evaluation of the program particularly on the conduct of practical exercises like information and reports verification.

    We are committed into striking a good balance between realism in training and privacy concerns of persons and properties that may be affected by similar exercise.

  166. Abdollah Mouawad Abdollah Mouawad

    Nasa practical, may dalang ID?

    Anna, henry, bopol ang estudyante, bopol din ang course director who should have instructed students not to bring any source of identification in case any unexpected arises while in practicum. O kaya, a briefing na kung sakaling mabulilyaso o mahuli with an ID, hindi aamining nasa test mission.

    Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

    Nahuli na nga, pumiyok pa! Mabagal ngang tumakbo dahil ang nahihiligan siguro ay larong gulp gulp sabay aaahhhhhhh at tsuk sa pulutan!

    Suskupo!

    Ang mga batas sa Pilipinas ay nilikha upang ipatupad lamang sa mga dukha’t mangmang habang tinatawanan, niyuyurakan at binabayaran ng mga mayayaman at nilalaro ng may matataas na pinag-aralan.

    Ang isang magtataho ay kinukulong kaagad kahit pinabintangan lamang samantalang ang isang bigtime na negosyante (o mayamang pusher kaya) ay tuloy ang buhay sa labas (minsan nasa abroad pa’t nakukuhang magrelax)at abogado lamang ang humaharap sa piskal.

    Ganyan ba ang pagkakapantay pantay?

  170. dapat mabilis syang tumakbo

    heheheh!

    Ellen, yep, Henry is right — even your telephone will be monitored. Easy to monitor telephones — there will be a transcription of conversations too. (That’s why I don’t like to call you anymore.)

  171. By the way, Henry — I missed what you said that “magkasama kami” then.

    Hang on, were you ADC to him? Or perhaps to Garec? Never mind. Don’t answer.

  172. Abdollah… ano ba ang “bopol”?

  173. henry90 henry90

    Anna, Abdollah:

    You’re right. . .sa mga practical exercises kasi, may live targets at mga installations na nirerequire sa estudyante to get essential info. Normally, bawal magdala ng any identification to burn u out. Pero di nangyayari due to the inadequacy ng backstopping your cover/cover story, In effect, dinadaan na lang sa palakasan ng loob which is dangerous actually para sa mga estudyante. Pero that’s how u learn. . .from your mistakes. . .we can’t afford those hitech gadgetry that other foreign spooks have. . .we rely on humint and the network of informants that’s available out there. . .may kasabihan nga sa Navy e at laging asar sa amin ang mga marines. . .i know may mga dating marino dito and they know the joke. . .ang ibig daw sabihin ng marines ay> .Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not ESsential. . .lol. . .As to the Navy’s announcement that it would evaluate the curriculum on practical exercises in casing and surveillance, nah, u can tell that to the marines. . .sanayin nyo silang tumakbo ng mabilis at wag magpahuli. . .buti nga estudyante pa lang ng mahuli. . .what if totoo pala yung casing at surveillance kay Lumbera? I really don’t think may intel value si Prof. . .si Mam Ellen pa siguro. . .lol

  174. As to the Navy’s announcement that it would evaluate the curriculum on practical exercises in casing and surveillance, nah, u can tell that to the marines.

    Henry,

    There might be a bit of re-evaluation (perhaps not of the curriculum per se) but of the practical exercises with a view to improving them. Anyway, they always do that naman eh, when things go wrong.

  175. henry90 henry90

    Agree, pero procedural lang siguro. . .ang concepts ganun pa rin yun. . .alam naman nilang low-risk target tong si Prof kaya pinagpraktisan. . .nabulilyaso nga lang at namedia kaya hayun, lumaki. . .kulang lang talaga sa briefing. . .at yun ang pinaka mahalaga sa lahat. . .lesson learned na lang kumbaga. . .on to the next target. . .and for chrissake, learn to run as fast as u can. . . E & E. . .don’t forget the drill. . .

  176. and for chrissake, learn to run as fast as u can. . . E & E. . .don’t forget the drill. . .

    heheheh!

  177. Marine ba itong nahuling operative?

  178. alam naman nilang low-risk target tong si Prof kaya pinagpraktisan. .

    The prof might get hurt — low risk lang siya? hihihih!

  179. chi chi

    Kaya pati si prof ay nagtataka kung bakit siya tinatarget, hahaha!

  180. henry90 henry90

    of low-intel value would also aptly describe the prof who is clueless like hell why he would be the subject of an ‘information verification’ exercise which is euphimism for casing by the way. . . .haha

  181. henry90 henry90

    euphemism. . .darn

  182. Abdollah Mouawad Abdollah Mouawad

    Anna,

    bopol means bobong pipol o kaya ay bobong pulpol.

    henry, kaya mo siguro nasabing no intel value and low risk si Prof Lumbera is because of his being a low profile in contrast sa mga pulpol na sipsip nating mga heneral na hindi kayang banggain si gloria.

    I just can’t understand why anybody standing up against gloria and/or anyone within her circle is being branded and suspected as leftist. Napakabobong dahilan.

    Tsk. tsk. tsk.

  183. Salam maleikum, Abdollah!

    shukrân!

  184. Ay naku, if Intel would bother to monitor me,kawawa naman yung agent. Mahihilo siya sa mga lakad ko at kung saan-saan ako nakakarating. I take pa public transport: tricyle, jeepney, bus.

    I welcome if they monitor my phones so they would get the truth. They would also know how corrupt and sordid this administration of Gloria Arroyo.l There are many more things that my friends and sources talk on the phone that we can’t write. They would learn a lot about the crimes of Arroyo and her associates.

  185. Ay naku, if Intel would bother to monitor me,kawawa naman yung agent. Mahihilo siya sa mga lakad ko

    Hahahahah! Ellen, nag ro-rotate iyong mga agents. Am sure, hindi lang isa ang assigned sa iyo. Kaya marami silang nahihilo. Hihihi.

  186. You know what Ellen? This admin will consider you high risk dahil takot sila sa iyo.

    It’s really a good thing you are high-profile, so they will think several times before doing anything stupid against you. And the fact that you have many many admirers and supporters in the military too, is an excellent deterrent.

  187. chi chi

    Hindi lang tatlo ang kailangan nilang agents para sundan ang dami at bilis at lakad mo.

    Nahihilo nga sila, Ellen, kaya itong blog mo na lang ang minomonitor, hahaha!

  188. henry90 henry90

    Just take care Mam Ellen. . . I know how ISAFP and NISF work. . .used to be one of them. . . hinahanap pa rin nila si Faeldon. . . u know what i mean. . .
