Takbo, Chavit, takbo para senador

Nasa balita kahapon na gusto raw ni Chavit Singson, gubernador ng Ilocos Sur, na tumakbong senador.

Sabi ni Singson, pini-presenta niya ang kanyang sarili sa administrasyon ngunit kung puno na ang tiket, balik na lang siya sa Ilocos Sur. Pwede pa naman siya magpa-reelect para gubernador.

Sige, Chavit, takbo para senador. At nang makita mo kung gaano ang pagkamuhi sa iyo ng taumbayan.

Utang na loob ni Gloria Arroyo kay Chavit ang kanyang pagakyat sa pagka-pangulo noong 2001 kahit hindi siya binoto ng taumbayan. Maala-ala natin na si Chavit ang nagbulgar ng koleksyon ni dating Pangulong Estrada sa jueteng.

Kaya naman walang hinto na an pagbabayad utang ni Gloria Arroyo kay Chavit. Kapag may nire-rekomenda si Chavit para sa mga posisyon sa gobierno, mahirap tanggihan ni Arroyo.

Nagkakagulo sa Poro Point dahil gusto kontrolin ni Chavit ang pier diyan. Ewan kung may kinalaman yan sa mga paglipana ng mga smuggled goods na nagkakalat hindi lamang sa Ilocos kungdi na rin sa ibang bansa.

Akala siguro ni Chavit pareho pa rin noong 2001 na hinirang siyang bayani ng mga civil society na nagpatalsik kay Estrada. Hindi niya yata alam na marami na nagsisisi sa paglagay kay Arroyo sa Malacañang.

Nahihirapan ang Malacañang magbuo ng kanilang tiket para senador dahil walang may gustong sumali sa kanila. Sa sobrang baho ng pangalan ni Arroyo, lahat na nakadikit sa kanya, aayawan na rin ng mga tao.

Kahit nga ang mga tauhan ni Gloria, ang linya nila ngayon ay reconciliation kuno. Noong isang araw, tinanong ko si Rep. Chiz Escudero, na tatakbo bilang senador sa tiket ng oposisyon, tungkol sa litrato na lumabas sa Inquirer kung saan naka-abresete sila ni Gloria Arroyo sa kasal ng anak ni Rep. Prospero Nograles sa Davao.

Sabi ni Escudero, proxy lang siya ni Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco na president ng kanilang partido, Nationalist People’s Coalition. Sabi niya na magba-backout sana siya nang malaman na si Arroyo ang partner niya. Kaya lang, nakiusap si Nograles dahil gusto raw niyang pumapel na para siya sa reconciliation. Di ba pinapalutang rin ang pangalan ni Nograles para senador.

Si Mike Defensor, presidential chief of staff na isa sa magiging kandidato ng administrasyon para senador ay nanawagan na palayain raw si Erap.

Siyempre walang naniniwala kay Defensor na sinsero siya. Gusto lang niya makakuha ng boto sa mga supporters na Erap.

Akala nila tanga ang taumbayan.

  1. Nangugulo lang iyang si Chavit… Sige na nga, takbo na siya at ipamudmod niya ang pera niyang ninakaw.

    Just imagine – international news will feast on that: Gloria Arroyo and self-confessed criminal join hands to conquer Philippine senate.

    Philippine news matter abroad when foreign journalists reinforce intl belief that criminals RULE in Pinas.

  2. Chabeli Chabeli

    Sige, Chavit, “takbo.., takbo para senador” sa ticket ni Gloria ! Imagine the headlines if Chavit wins..PHILIPPINE CRIMINAL WINS AS SENATOR !

    “Sabi ni Singson, pini-presenta niya ang kanyang sarili sa administrasyon ngunit kung puno na ang tiket, balik na lang siya sa Ilocos Sur.” Ang sabihin nya NO TAKERS for him ! If Gloria takes in Chavit, her Magic 12 will end up being MAGIC 1 as majority in her ticket will back out.

    Even a kid can figure out that GLORIA = POLITICAL POISON. Those running in Gloria’s ticket are better known as the DESPERADOS. They have no choice anymore. Most of them where expecting to be MPs & since they lack funding, they need to run in a party. The only one who has the biggest loot, is the party of the THIEF !

  3. Off topic friends but I felt it worthwhile to post here that Ellen’s topic on January 4, 2007 at 12:42 am

    Wonderful record Ellen!

    Thanks to Joeseg for tracking and for pointing that the real biggest issue affecting Pinas today, whatever one says, is Gloria Mandaraya-Arrroyo!

  4. Chabeli Chabeli

    I second the motion of Anna de Brux & Joeseg:

    “the real biggest issue affecting Pinas today, whatever one says, is Gloria Mandaraya-Arrroyo!”

    Kahit sino basta ma-identify kay tiyanak lagot sa election. Senator si Singson? Tapos sa Pampanga, ang mga Pineda? Wala na…ang buong bansa magiging gambling country. Panahon na para tumakbo din akong senador para labanan ang mga gunggong na ito. Sayang lang ang natitira kong $200 milyon dolyar.

  6. artsee artsee

    Manang Chabeli, I third the motion of Ate Anna & Mang Joeseg (tama ba? Kasi pangatlo ako kaya third motion di ba?). Si tiyanak lang naman ang issue wala nang iba pa.

    Chavit had a plan to run for senator in 2004 national elections after the launching his 3-hour biofilm Chavit Singson Story: Blood Son of Ilocos in 2003. Maybe change his mind after his winning changes to land in the magic 12 was not achievable. The so-called Solid North voting block is not enough to win a national election. Sigurista si Chavit. Alam niyang walang panalo si Gloria laban kay FPJ. In Ilocos Region, FPJ won by a wide margin against D’Great Suwitik Gloria. Of course, GMA had won only in Chavit country with massive cheating. The illegal numbers game jueteng is still an issue after the downfall of President Erap in 2001 coup d’etat.

  8. acpiccio acpiccio

    He’s smarter than you think. Gloria and company is going to spend tons of money on this coming election & you can bet your last centavo that less than half of it will be actually spent by those lucky enough to partake of the spoils. They know that they’re going to lose anyway, so why spend it all. With this guy,it’s all about money.

  9. apoy apoy

    Sinabi lang tatakbo kinabahan na kayo?? Parang di nyo kilatis si buratoy..Hindi sa senado ang takbo niyan..Tatakbuhan niya si Gloria….

  10. pandawan pandawan

    Maganda ang balita mo Ellen na gustong tumakbo ni Chavit. Ayaw ko na sanang magkumento dahil baka MAUSOG. Pero nilagyan ko na lang ng laway ang tiyan ko dahil gustong-gusto kong mangyari ang sinabi mo.

    Sana nga tumakbo si Chavit nang magkaroon ng malaking kahulugan sa akin ang eleksiyong ito. Kahit ano pang pandaraya ang gawin niya, kahit gaanong salapi ang ihatag niya ay hindi siya mananalo at iyan ay itaga mo sa bato.

    Ang itanong mo ke Chavit ay ito: Meron pa bang Solid North hanggang ngayon? Ito marahil ang nasa likod ng isip niya. Sige takbo, Chavit, takbo!

  11. isabel isabel

    sige, chabit, tumakbo ka. kahit bumaha pa ng pera, sa ilocos pa lang may sabit ka na.

  14. joeseg joeseg

    Ate Ellen,

    I read that item on a wedding where GMA went with her flight given the priority to take off inspite of an earlier warning that an oncoming plane was running out of fuel. The request was not heeded because the airport officials said that GMA trip was more important. Not even it if endangered the lives of some 231 passengers most of whom are returning OFWs.

    What I would like to comment is not on the flight but on Francis Escudero being side by side with GMA. Dalawang katanungan kasi ang naglalaro sa aking isipan pero ito’y tungkol kay Danding Cojuangco na alam nating malaki rin ang pakialam sa political situation natin even though he’s not quoted lately.

    1. Why did Danding Cojuango forego the wedding when it’s GMA attending? Is not it a sort of snub?

    2. Why did Danding Cojuango asked Francis Escudero to act as his proxy him when all know, Francis is leading the opposition’s fight in Congress to have her impeached? Danding could be very well represented by his nephew, Rep. Gilbert Teodoro since he is one among those being considered to run as Senator under the administration ticket.

  16. isabel isabel

    naku, joeseg, kilala naman natin iyang si danding. big time operator yan pagdating sa politika. kingmaker kung baga. dalawang bagay kung bakit si escudero ang pinadalang proxy niya. una, he might be sending signals to gloria na ayaw kitang makasama (inisnab kung baga) and to add more insult, itong isa sa mga arch enemy ng bruha ang pinadala as proxy. pangalawa, baka naman itong si danding ay gustong i-set up itong si escudero. kung titingnan mo nga naman ang litrato nang hindi na magbabasa, aba’y mukhang itong escudero ay nakipagbati na sa bruha. ganda points sa reyna anaconda, minus points kay escudero. two birds in one stone, di ba?

  17. chi chi

    Hindi ko masyadong alam ang isyu nitong si Chabit before Erap, pero ang mga pinaggagawa niya from Erap time onward ay sapat na sa akin para sabihin ko na siya ang achilles heel ni Glueria sa Pinas.

  18. mandirigma mandirigma

    It’s all speculation at this point. Kung may ibang dahilan si Danding sa pag-proxy ni Chiz Escudero, hindi natin alam. I can only say that Escudero is a true blooded opposition. Danding was loyal to Marcos and very close to Erap. Hindi man niya aminin, mahirap na makursunadahan niya ang isang tulad ni Arroyo. Maraming puwedeng ipintas kay Danding pero lahat ay saludo sa kanyang loyalty sa kaibigan. He left with Marcos and stayed with Marcos until the last minute. Bumalik na lang siya sa Pilipinas nang namatay na si Marcos. Danding’s political influence cannot be ignored. He has the money and the leader of NPC. Marami ang may utang na loob sa kanya.

  19. tikbalang tikbalang

    Ate Ellen pwede po bang huminge ng pabor. Pake lagay naman sa blog nyo ang litrato ni Chiz E. at si Madam T. kung ano ang itsura ng dalawa habang sila ay nasa kasalan kung meron po, salamat.

  20. cocoy cocoy

    Sa aking palagay ay huwag na nating intrigahan si Chiz Escudero kung nag proxy man siya sa kasal na nakasabay si Arroyo.Alam naman natin kung ano ang nasa puso niya at kung ano ang kartada ng baraha niya.
    Ganyan talaga ang buhay kung minsan ay may pangyayaring di maiiwasan.Alam n’yo naman malapit na ang election,iyong mga ibang kulang ang pang-unawa baka sabihin nilang bumaligtad na si Escudero,makakasira ito sa kanya.Iyong mga tao na nakatira sa probinsya lalo na sa liblib na pook naniniwala lang siya sa bali-balita.Mga iba no read but,write at mga iba naman no write but read.Sa probinsya ang kuwentong bulate nagiging ahas–pagdating sa pangatlong kuwento nagiging sawa.

  21. Tikbalang,

    Here’s the picture. Pasensya na, I just took a picture of the front page of Inquirer’s Jan. 4, 2007 issue. I can’t find it online.

    gma-and-chiz.JPG

  22. Hindi bumabaligtad si Chiz. Si Chiz ay miyembro ng NPC na pinamumunu-an ni Danding.

    Ang policy ng NPC ay nagbibigay ng pahintulot sa kanyang mga miyembro na maki-align sa mga grupo na pinaniniwalaan nia. Kasama ni Chiz si Darlene Antonino-Custodio na nakikipag-align sa oposisyon samantalang ang iba namang miyembro katulad ni Gilbert Teodoro ay sa administrasyon.

    Kaya si Chiz ang ni-request ni Danding dahil nasa abroad yata si Gilbert Teodoro.

    Naikwento ko na sa aking article sa taas, naki-usap si Nograles kay Chiz na mag-attend at gusto raw niyang ipakita sa madla na pro-reconciliation siya. Ek..Eek. pagtapos nila bastusin ang taumbayan sa Con-ass, reconciliation?

  23. Si Chiz ay oposisyon kay Arroyo at consistent siya mula’t sapul pa. Kasama sila ni Alan Peter Cayetano, sila ang nakikita kong matitinong mga pulitiko. Sana manalo sila para senador.

    ellen:Tanong lang po,Di ba nacensor ang biofilm ni Buratoy kasi title pa lang madugo na.

  26. Ellen,

    The young man from whose arm Gloria is dangling is Chiz Escudero?

    If so, he looks like he’s just trying to be a gentleman. What could he do? Realistically, it won’t do for him to sit on or pull the hair of the tiyanak?

    Must say Gloria in that pic show’s she’s having one whale of a time, enjoying her new found status by dangling on the arm of Escudero – imagine being led to the altar by the Opposition’s knight in shining armor? Gosh, she must be feeling sorry she got hitched by fatso, eh?

  27. Yes,Anna, that’s Chiz. A fine, young man. A rising star in Philippine politics together with Alan Peter Cayetano.

    Chiz is the son of former congressman, also former agriculture secretary Salvador Escudero.

    You read the picture right, Chiz was just trying to be a gentleman, which he really is.

    BTW,Chiz is GMA’s godson in marriage. That was way back when she was vice president, I guess. But that hasn’t stopped Chiz from taking a critical stand against her ninang sa kasal.

  28. tikbalang tikbalang

    Ate Ellen maraming salamat po.

    Swerte mo madam T. at si Chiz E. ang naging escort mo. Ano kaya ang pinag uusapan ng dalawa. Sa tinging ko sa litrato mukhang gusto nang sikuhin ni chiz at sipain si madam T. at iwanan si madam T. Alam nyo naman talagang garapal ang pagmumukha nitong si madam T. Halatang hinihila niya si Chiz E.

    Ang akala ni “Gloria Dila Huwad” ay okey lang sa taong bayan ang ginawa niya at kasama niya si Chiz E.

    Hoy “PEKENG PANGULO” kahit ano pa ang iyong gawin pagpapacute sa amin. Hindi na kami maniniwala pa sayo ang kailangan namin ang katotohan . Umalis ka na parang awa mo!

    Kahit pala nakabihis ng Filipina dress (ba?) ang tianak ay mukha pa ring super atsay kung itinatabi sa mga sibilisado, edukado at guapo.

  30. Ellen,

    Is that so? Gloria’s godson? Well, well, for young Escudero to be critical of his own sponsor at his wedding, then Gloria can be deemed a hopeless case. And to think that she almost put the lives of 230+ people at risk to try to lure back (perhaps) the young “turk” to her fold, and judging from what posters here revealed about Nograles’ declaration and Danding’s acrobatics, she must’ve been one pretty desperate ninang…

    Atta boy, Mr Escudero! Keep up with the good work – your allegiance to Arroyo as your ninang ends where your allegiance to your nation begins!

    Sana nga maisingit o maisabit si Sabit na maging kandidato para senador ni Mrs. Pidal. Iisang kulay at parang kambal-tuko itong dalawang ito, parehong magnanakaw, sinungaling,swapang mandaraya at kriminal. Malaking bagay sa oposisyon ito pagdating ng kampanya. Instead na maisantabi at makalimutan pansamantala ang tungkol sa pag-kapaalis kay Erap sa kagagawan ng dalawang ito laging napa-paalala tuwing haharap sa tao itong si Sabit. He will always serve as a grim reminder of what they did to Erap; he will serve as a reminder that he is candidate to the Senate representing the gambling world as he himself is a jueteng lord; he will serve to remind the people that he is a model and poster boy of corruption, cheating, lying, and killing in this Pidal government kaya, OK nga sana kung tatakbo siya para mahatak niyang pababa ang mga iba pang kasama niyang kandidato at pulutin lahat sila sa kangkungan.

  32. Re Chi’s ‘mukhang atsay’

    Butch Tuason was invited to the last b-day dinner for former Pres Diosdado Macapagal in the Macapagal home in Forbes Park (as Mike Fatso Sr’s his first cousin) while Gloria was still VP early on during Erap’s term.

    Butch quipped that as usual, Gloria who had no dress sense was so badly attired, that she stood out at the relatively small dinner party gathering because she “looked almost shabby.” His own words.

    Gloria learned to dress up only in early 2003 when she “acquired” a full time wardrobe mistress. But before then, boy, she absolutely had no dress sense.

    I have the impression that some of our kababayan abroad are not familiar with many of the politicians back home especially the young ones like Escudero. To be able to come up with a fair assessment of the politicial events in the Philippines, mabuti pang pag-aralan din nila kung sinu-sino ang mga pulitiko natin lalo na iyon mga aktibo ngayon. Chiz Escudero is one. Not knowing him affects our judgment. Kung puwede lang po, sana ipakilala dito sa blog na ito ang mga bagong dugo na pulitiko lalo na sa hanay ng opposition.

  34. Butch had a great time making a laughingstock of Gloria…whenever he could, he would make fun of Gloria to friends.

    And by the way, he also revealed what Erap had warned his (Erap’s) cronies about, almost prophetically: To watch out because he was sure that as the sun rises that Gloria would be the next president.

    Butch used to repeat Erap’s own quip long before or a year before Gloria led the judicial putsch (borrowing from Dean)toppling Erap although of course, Erap hadn’t foreseen that that was how Gloria would become the country’s next president.

    Ms. de brux, don’t forget that Arroyo has a PR-media consultant in the person of Lupita Kashiwara. Itong si Lupita ang director ni Arroyo tuwing may TV appearance siya o media conference. Her looks and facial expression on TV are guided by the professional hands of Lupita.

  36. joeseg:
    Futhermore I’m told the mayor of Davao City did not attend either, he was once named as her crime adviser before but very upset at the Cpl.Smith affair. But allow me to share with you my first comment on my new “Shout Box’ which is “truth is a gift, nice blog”. I will make it my quote of the week – smile.

  37. Unfortunately, NOT even Lupita Aquino Kashiwara’s expertise can change what is inherently Dorian Grey in Gloria Mandaraya, the evil in Gloria comes out no matter the cosmetics and the lighting – they merely reinforce Gloria’s ‘badness.’

  38. Gloria and Chavit deserve each other – they are both nasty works of evil, possessed by evil and guided by evil.

    These two evil people may just shoot each other – when that happens, t’would be a fine day for Pinas.

    And on that note, I bid you all adieu as in “OK, m off!” Cheers to all…

    If people like Chavit Singson are free to roam the country and become Senators, then what’s in the future? Singson is one of the biggest Scoundrels of them all.

  50. Chabeli Chabeli

    Mandirigma, you said (January 14th, 2007 at 7:56 am) that “Kung may ibang dahilan si Danding sa pag-proxy ni Chiz Escudero, hindi natin alam.” Danding was in Mudgee (his farm), Australia at that time. He & his wife celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. In fact JdV was there “licking his wounds,” to quote an informant who was present at that time.

    I agree w/ you that “Maraming puwedeng ipintas kay Danding pero lahat ay saludo sa kanyang loyalty sa kaibigan.” GLORIA most certainly, is ill-equipped when it comes to LOYALTY. She does not know the word, much less possess the quallity !

  51. vic vic

    chabeli,
    I agree with that loyalty is a good virtue, but when does one’s loyalty ends and when does one righteousness starts. We can only be loyal to our friends if they remained righteous. I myself would not think twice of turning in a friend who I knew committed a wrongful deed, especially if it’s a crime. But on the other hand betraying a good friend is treason and that is what Gloria has been doing all her life. For her selfish desires and agrandishments, she has betrayed not only her friends but her people and her country and that is worse than treason, can’t find a proper word for it..any one in mind?

  52. Chabeli Chabeli

    Anna De Brux, you said (January 14th, 2007 at 12:45 pm) that “..NOT even Lupita Aquino Kashiwara’s expertise can change what is inherently Dorian Grey in Gloria Mandaraya..”
    Gloria, simply put, is a PR nightmare. To begin w/, just looking at the basics, Gloria’s height does not make her look dignified, her looks are unappealling, she has some sort of speech impediment, & how she comes across is antipatica. I tell you, GLORIA is a hard sell ! Whether she is intelligent, it gets drowned by how she comes across people. In other words, LOSER.

  53. isabel isabel

    naku ha! isa pa iyang si lupita. namatay ang kapatid na si ninoy para manumbalik ang demokrasya sa ating bansa, na siya naman ngayong kinikitil nitong amo niyang reyna anaconda. sayang ang mga award niya, itong latest creation niya ay flop sa takilya.

  54. Chabeli Chabeli

    Vic,
    Yes, of course, I agree with you that “I myself would not think twice of turning in a friend who I knew committed a wrongful deed, especially if it’s a crime.” Loyalty is a virtue, & like ANY virtue, when it is being compromised or is broken, everything changes. Although not meaning to be self-righteous, what is correct must prevail.

    Speaking of betrayal, what I can’t understand is why a trapo like JdV ACTUALLY thought he would be an exception to Gloria’s betrayal (on the Cha-Cha). She will (literally) DO ANYTHING to survive. She has no conscience & no morals. Gloria is loyal to Gloria. That’s as far her loyalty goes.

  55. Isabel mentioned about Chavit’s mini zoo.

    Chavit has a tiger. Do you know that sometime two years ago he brought the tiger in Boracay and it caused panic in the island?

    Chavit went there with his mistress in a yacht. They stayed in Le Soleil resort (owned by a Lhuillier). According to the report, the tiger became bored and lethargic in the yacht so the trainer brought him down to the beach one morning.

    The young daughter of Lhuillier saw the tiger and panicked. Reacting to the girl’s shocked expression, the tiger growled and wow, it really sent the tourists scampering. No one was hurt but can you imagine the shock it caused the people in the island!

    Nothing came out of it. Not even the owner filed a complaint. Siyempre Chavit yun. Untouchable while Gloria Arroyo is in power.

  56. Ellen:
    I was sooo… surprised not to see Mr Mike Arroyo’s name in the ‘other equally outstanding Filipinos for her senatorial ticket’ Maybe it was because the requirement of extensive surgery to make the voice sound manly gave second thoughts. But its wonderful choice of slate, I’m still Laffin.

    Maybe, we can pray for the animals in Singson’s mini-zoo to run wild, and eat him hole!

    Iyan ang tinatawag na kampon ni Satanas!

  62. Chi,

    The Singsn-Crisologo war was famous in the 60’s and 70’s. I remember visiting the Philippines then and hearing of the feud between these two kins that Marcos, being an Ilocano, tried to broker. I understand from my mother that it was a long-standing family feud.

    Talaga demonyo. Siguro may dugo ni Cain, the first murderer who killed his own brother.

    This Chabit can be governor of his home province and not because people therelike him or that there is no other choice, but more like they have no choice. Papatayin kasi sila.

    A lawyer’s association there in fact has been under threat for demanding for his prosecution forthe death of a crusading lawyer. They should actually get rid of his privat army, but it is actually wishful thinking especially with the bogus president and husband finding him very useful for their political survival.

    The Pidals have been bossom friends with this crook and that is because “bird of the same feather flock together!”

    May araw din iyan, for as the old adage goes, “He who lives by the sword dies by the sword” quote in fact from the Holy Scriptures.

  63. If the Senate inquiry on the MPSA goes ahead as planned there’s no doubt that it will keep all these crooks on their toes ducking and diving. Even if it goes nowhere the voting public will see the corruption on a daily drip drip process leading up to and beyond May. Just what this mob in the administration could have done without, Nice one GMA.

  64. Sorry, this should read:The Pidals have been bossom friends with this crook and that is because “bird of the same feather flock together!”

    I wish his tiger devour him to end the sorry state of Ilocandia.

    Ang ganda pa mandin ng Ilocandia, si Chabit lang ang pangit doon. I was in Isabela, Cagayan and other places I don’t remember anymore, and can say that the ordinary folks are superb. We filmed the Callao Cave in Cagayan, as beautiful and magnificent as the caves in Mexico. At ang pinakbet, wow, pinakamasarap.

    Ilocos does not deserve this Chabit, masyado na pala siyang matagal hari-harian doon. Best time for Ilocanos and brothers in other regions to beat and bit him hard.

    Kabayang Vic, if Ka Cocoy calls himself as FILAM without “-“, then do you call yourself FILCAN? Ano ba ang dapat, American-Filipino and Canadian-Filipino or Filipino-American or Filipino-Canadian? Which comes first? Gaya ng Chinese-Filipino. There are those who say Filipino-Chinese.
    The word Tsinoy was coined from Chinese-Filipino so I think this is more accurate, right?

    Ka Cocoy, newly arrived Filipinos are sometimes called FOB or Fresh On Board. PHILCAG? You remember that? Nahalata ka tuloy na may edad ka na which you’re not. You’re very knowledgeble just like the rest here. I’m impressed.

    May bumanggit yata ng Solid North. Si Kabayang Ystakei ba iyon? Anyway, there used to be the so called Solid North. The Ilocanos were one behind Marcos. But that was long ago. Today, it’s no longer the same. Maraming Ilocano ang ayaw na kay Imelda. May mga iba na kay Marcos lang and no one else. Singson is only strong in Ilocos Sur. Siya ang hari doon. But up north, I’m not sure. The North is still controlled by the Marcos and I don’t think the Marcos family has that great relationship with Singson now.

    There is a report in the Jan. 15/07 issue of The Daily Tribune that “President Arroyo, in defiance of the law and the Constitution, yesterday swore in former Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. as Philippine Ambassador to the United Nations in New York.” Gloria “swore in Davide..yesterday even without the approval of the bicameral Commission on Appointments (CA).”

    The report even says that “Despite his being aware of the constitutional violation, he took his oath of office just after the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) meeting with Korea.”

    To me, this just proves that DAVIDE was indeed A CROOKED POLITICIAN, after all ! Like GLORIA he has NO CREDIBILITY, & belongs to GLORIA’S LEAGUE OF POISONOUS LEACHES !

    I know Lupita Kashiwara’s background pero hindi ko na lang babanggitin dito. It’s about his relationship with men. Siguro may alam din si Ka Cocoy o Ka Ystakei sa kanya. About Singson again, nang nabulgar ang kanyang Metrowalk Mall na may casino sa loob, agad siyang nagpaliwanag na hindi daw casino kundi poker games as if the two are different. Tapos, sasabihin niya na kaunti lang ang shares niya doon at ang iba sa mga kamag-anak niya. Everyone knows one can easily uses dummies. Magaling talaga magpalusot ang loko tulad ng amo niya.

    Chabeli,

    I just read Davide’s appoinment to UN. Glueria can’t do anything but to swear him in. E kung kumanta ‘yan. The fake Malacanang occupant has no leverage with anybody, best blackmail target on earth. Buti nga!

    There’s nothing new with Davide. He is still the same violator of the Pinoy Constitution, a crook to no end just like his “acting president”.

  72. mandirigma mandirigma

    Ka Chabeli, yes Davide has just taken his oath as RP envoy to UN. That’s his reward for placing Arroyo in Malacanang. If President Erap is finally acquitted (I doubt especially as long as Arroyo is in power), dapat isama itong si Davide sa demanda. Ka Zenzennai, kabayan mo pa naman itong traidor sa constitution.

    Here’s a part of Raymond Burgos’ recent column about Mike Defensor:

    Magaling na pulitiko itong si Defensor dahil sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging loyalistang tuta ni GMA ay nakuha niya ring magkaroon ng access kay Erap sa Tanay kung saan madalas itong dumalaw maski pa bumabagyo.
    Nakatulong kay Defensor na mapalapit kay Erap ang pagiging malapit din nito sa Iglesia ni Kristo kung saan balitang mismong si Executive Minister Erano Manalo ang nag-endorso sa presidential chief of staff kay Estrada.
    Kung tatakbo si Defensor sa pagka-senador ay sigurado na siya sa command votes ng INK na umaabot sa 2 milyong boto at depende sa survey ay baka makuha niya rin ang “silent endorsement” ni Erap.

    Tungkol naman sa pagpatay ni Leviste sa kanyang tauhan, it was found out that the victim was shot multiple times. He was in sitting position holding a gun that appeared to have been just pulled out (or planted?). Paanong magiging “self-defense” as alleged ni Leviste kung maraming beses binaril? The victim was shot not once but many times in the face. The incident only shows that people lose cool and commit crime even if they are friends for 40 years. Ang problema pa ayaw magsalita ang pamilya ng biktima pati na ang mga staff sa office ni Leviste. The staff even heard a voice from inside who yelled “Isa lang ang makakalabas dito ng buhay!”. I would tend to believe such statement came from Leviste not the victim. Pero ayaw sabihin ng staff kung kaninong boses galing iyan. In the meantime, Leviste is comfortably confined in the hospital. Noon umpisa may high blood daw at ngayon naman may sakit sa puso. Who said that? His personal attending physician of course. Ganyan ang mga VIP kapag sangkot sa krimen. The poor who are accused of crimes do not have this privilege. We must keep a close watch on this case. Huwag natin pababayaan na hindi mabigyan na naman ng hustisya ang isang walang kalaban laban na biktima.

    Eto na naman ang isang balita. So, Atty. Lozano after all was instrumental in the killing of the impeachment against Arroyo. Lozano is Imelda’s lawyer and long time friend. Imelda is now Arroyo’s buddy-buddy. Kayo na po bahala sa conclusion.

    “Oliver Lozano, the lawyer whose impeachment complaint against President Arroyo derailed efforts by the opposition to oust the President, wants Malacañang to include him in the administration’s senatorial ticket for the May 14 elections.

    Lozano wrote Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita last January 10 and stressed the “roles” he played in the saving the government of President Arroyo.”

    It is always the pattern of criminal process, that the perpetrator can “stage managed” the crime after the commission and all witnesses agree to the plot and if the perpetrator is a very wealthy and powerful with connections from within, there’s not much choice for the witnesses but to play their parts or else, and other witnesses can always be brought into the act. And the police? Some are complicit, some are hired to join the play, some are simply impotent, and the righteous ones just simply got vanished into the backstage and relegated to the minor roles or nothing at all. Such is the sorry state of our Justice System if you happen to be the victim of the powerful and the wealthy and the elites. so selective that sometimes the only recourse is the street justice, meaning Vengeance is never as sweet..

    Very good point, Ka Vic. Your opinion reflects your knowledge and experience. Kaya ang mga tulad mo ang kailangan dito sa grupo. Back to the opposition senatorial line up, hindi pa yata final ang list. Anything could happen between now and the filing date. Kahit na ilan araw bago ang election may mangyayari pa such as withdrawal. That’s how politics play and run Philippine style. Kaya hindi tayo nakakasiguro at baka magugulat tayo na nakapasok din ang mga ayaw natin tulad nina Kiko at Angara.

    Ka Phil, you got a good point in asking that pero alam naman natin lahat na malapit si President Erap sa INK at talagang nakikinig kay Ka Erdie. Erap may not openly endorse Defensor but in silence. Talagang ganyan ang galaw ng pulitika. Ang style ng INK naman, they would pick half from the opposition and half from the administration.

    Hindi na nakapagtataka kung ambisyunin ni sabit singson ang kumandidato na senador sa tiket ni gloria. Ika nga “birds of same feathers flies together”, they deserve to be with one another.

Nasabi sa balita na lumiham itong kumag na si lozano kay ala-ehng ermita, at isinusumbat ang tulong daw niya sa pagkakaligtas ng administrasyon ni gloria mula sa napipintong Pipol Power nuong June 2005 nang i-preempt daw niya ang paghahain ng impeachment complaint laban kay gloria kauganay ng “Hello Garci Gate”.

    cocoy, medyo konting koreksyon lang…actually, it was not Erap himself who said that line “weder, wedre, ang ‘yan”. It was this person named Rudy Meyer, he’s one of Erap’s friend from the movie industry, in fact this Meyer is a film director. A chubby guy with a fat mouth, one of those that gave no help on Erap’s image as a President. If we all think about it, his so-called “friends” cause him his downfall. Numero Uno is this chavit “the judas” singson, who used to drink from the same glass with Erap during their drinking sessions with their barkadas back in the ’60s. Then there is Atong Ang, Erap’s younger generation of friends (daw), Nora Aunor and Paquito Diaz, who got involved with the fire truck bulilyaso deal. Then Ate mengGUY turn around and became one of gloria’s bullet’s against Erap. Erap is no saint, but his a victim of his own folly. He was so foolish when he believed and trusted his chinese bank owners that they can open an account for him under an alias, he was foolish not to smell the set-up that was being put for him. He was foolish to ever trust an angelic looking woman in the name of Clarissa Ocampo could be trusted not to leak the pieces of documents that he signed under the name of Jose Velarde, and the most foolish thing that he did was to entrust angie reyes, his kumpadre who in fact is a cabalen to handle his regime’s security.

  95. Spartan Spartan

    But of course, Erap could now say, who are the fools now? Him or those civil society groups led by the now dead cardinal of Manila who let themselves to be used and now abused by the same person they helped by giving the POWER with their open palms to the cuty-cute gloria back in January 2001. The gloria arroyo who turned out to be a creature of the same species like the gremlins, who are cuddly cuties, but are in fact monsters, greedy-evil monsters.

  96. Vic, it’s only now that I read the full story about the swindling by the Del Rosario couple. I find it unbelievable that so many people could be so gullible.

    But the writer perceptively and correctly pointed out one underlying reason why this scam became possible: people’s greed. And I may add , attachment to worldly things.

    In the Philippines, a few years back, there was a big story on that pyramid and networking scam. There was one presentation made in our house and I noticed the lure was material success.

    The worse thing about what happened in the Philippines was that, many of the victims were people struggling for a decent life like teachers, government employees, families of OFWs.

    There’s a lesson to be learned from this. I hope we learn from it.

  97. vic vic

    Yes Ellen, these kind of Schemes were as old as scammers themselves, but you are right, the underlying reason why it still works for good actors is the Greed and it is common to Humans and sometimes, somehow, someone will always succeed to extract that for their own Greed. Greed and more Greed led to miseries. I hope that if something too good to be true, somehow we’ll think twice or more before we get involved. thanks…

  98. Ellen,

    The pyramid scheme also proliferated in Paris. The PCI bank manager there is allegedly involved.

    One of the major associates is apparently the sister of the woman who was apprehended in Manila for the scheme – the Philippine Embassy (under Amba Villarroel) sent out a circular a year ago to the associations to beware of that they believe is pyramid scam on the roll; they attached press clippings to the circular from Manila relating the criminal activities of the Manila relative(the one heading the alleged scam in Paris carries the same name of the one indicted in Manila.)

    Some of the association leaders have banded together to gather evidences against the PCI bank officer alleged to be a major partner in the scam. They haven’t stopped digging, i.e., the guys are under observation – police have been told apparently.

    Ate Ellen

    Sinabi mo, takbo, Chavit, takbo sa senado.

    Sa column sa Malaya ngayon, ito naman ang sinabi ni
    Romeo Y. Lim:

    RUN ANGIE RUN

    I am saddened to hear about the recent decision of Environment Secretary Angelo Reyes (PMA ’66) not to run for the Senate in May. We need more good men running the government and crafting beneficial laws. Had he decided to run, Reyes would have most likely lost and the one-year ban on government appointments against election losers would have definitely given this administration the chance to stumble into appointing someone who is, at least, qualified for the job. So, I say again, for all the good it will do this country: “Run, Angie, run.”

    Don’t get me wrong. I am not singling out Reyes as the lone incompetent in this administration. Off-hand, I can mention Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Bayani Fernando and Light Rail Transit Authority administrator Mel Robles as being in the same boat as Reyes. And, there are a lot of others.
    However, Reyes is really the best example I can think about how the totally undeserving get assigned to where they are tragically unfit.

  106. I showed the above picture of Chiz Escudero and the Great Switik to a friend of mine. Napanganga siya, at nagtanong, “Magkano kaya ang ipinangako kay Escudero na ibibigay ni Arroyo para siya (Chiz) lang ang manalo sa oposisyon?”

    Matalinghagang tanong, di ba? Isa pang tanong, saan kukuha ng pambayad si Great Switik at asawa niya ngayon?

    Yuko, That’s unfair of your friend to think Chiz would enter into a deal with Arroyo. Let’s not be so cynical. There are still men and women who have retained their sense of right and wrong. They may not be many but there are.

  111. Spartan, I don’t think Rudy Meyer is a film director. He is a sidekick to film directors. I tink he was a sidekick of FPJ. But FPJ had nothing to do with his appointment in Pagcor.

  112. mandirigma mandirigma

    I agree Ka Ellen. Let’s not be judgmental. Chiz Escudero is among the few young decent politicians we have today. Porke ba nakasama ni Arroyo sa wedding bilang partner may secret deal na? Escudero went in response to Danding’s request. Compare to the likes of Angara, Santiago and even Enrile, medyo hindi ganoon si Chiz.

  113. Spartan Spartan

    Ma’m Ellen, it was not FPJ who put Rudy Meyer in his position that time, it was Erap though surely Rudy Meyer’s relationship with FPJ and Erap made it possible. And about his being a director, I remember back then that he was able to direct and co-direct a number of movies, in fact he’s a member of the KDPP (Kapisanan ng mga Direktor ng Pelikulang Pilipino) back in the 80’s, which used to be the only association for local movie directors. I should know cause my father was a member when he was still alive. But now, they have this Director’s Guild of the Philippines, a breakaway group from the original KDPP whose president for a long time was FPJ himself.

  114. Spartan Spartan

    Tungkol naman duon sa litrato nina gloria at Cong. Francis Escudero, palagay ko ay na-set-up lang si Chiz Escudero duon. At alam naman natin kung gaano ka-diplomatiko ang batang Escudero kaya hindi na lamang siya nag-back-out o nagpahalata. Ika nga, walang malisya sa kaniya iyon, problema the propaganda machines of gloria were all quick to jump on it and turn the situation into their favor by implying a scene of reconciliation between the oppositions and the kapal mukhang gloria. Malas lang ni Chiz, dahil lose-lose siya sa sitwasyon na iyon, samantalang sina gloria, nograles, at iba pa nilang kaalyado, win-win scenarion iyon. 😉
