Ito naman si Joker Arroyo. Talaga namang kampi kay Gloria at kay Mike Arroyo noon pa. At gusto lang naman kumandidato na wala siyang gastos, kung ano-ano pa ang sinasabi.
Sinabi ni Arroyo sa interview sa ANC na kaya raw ayaw siya sumama sa ticket ng oposisyon dahil kasama raw si Sonny Trillanes na nagtangkang patalsikin si Gloria Arroyo noong July 2003.
Ito yung Oakwood mutiny. Dahil doon nakakulong si Trillanes hanggang ngayon.
Bigla nagkaroon ng amnesia itong si Joker. Nakalimutan na ba niya na kaya natanggal si Marcos noong February 1986 at naupo si Cory Aquino at siya ang ginawang executive secretary dahil nag-coup sina Juan Ponce-Enrile at Fidel Ramos na sinundan ng People Power?
Nakalimutan na rin ba ni Joker na kaya naagaw ni Gloria Arroyo ang pagka-presidente kay Estrada, kahit hindi natuloy ang impeachment, dahil sumali sa kanila si AFP Chief of Staff Angelo Reyes? Withdrawal of support ang sabi ni Reyes.
Sinabi pa ni Joker nainis siya na walang balak ang oposisyon tigilan ang kanilang planong patalsikin si Gloria.
Siyempre naman. At bakit hindi? Hindi naman talaga siya binoto ng taumbayan. Sabi nga ni Susan Roces, “You stole the presidency not once, but twice.” Una noong 2001 at pangalawa noong eleksyon ng 2004 nang dinaya niya si Fernando Poe, Jr.
Dapat nga ni isang minuto hindi yan nakaupo sa Malacañang dahil hindi naman talaga binoto ng taumbayan.
Klaro na ngayon na simula-simula pa talagang dikit si Joker kina Gloria at Mike Arroyo. Halata naman ang todo protekta ni Joker kay Mike Arroyo sa isyu ng Jose Pidal ay iba pang imbestigasyon sa corruption ng mga Arroyo.
Madali tuloy paniwalaan ang mga kumakalat na balita na si Mike ang gumastos ng kanyang kampanya noong 2001.
Naala-ala ko noong imbestigasyon ng Senado ng Oakwood mutiny, tinanong ni Trillanes kay Joker, kung ano ang diperensya ng ginawa nila at ng Edsa Dos?
Sabi ni Joker, “we won”. Nanalo kami.
Yabang ano? Ano ngayon ang sinasabi niya na galit siya sa coup? Dahil kaya takot siya na sa susunod, baka manalo na ang mga rebeldeng sundalo?
Diba noong si Joker ay sumanib sa Unity Ticket ni Gloria ay di pa sinali noon si Trillanes sa UNO? Anong kahibangan ang pinagsasabi ng payaso na yan na kaya siya sumali sa Admin ticket ay dahil sinali sa line up ng UNO ang isang rebelde?
Sige Joker, sa tanda mong iyan ay ipagpatuloy mo ang pagpunas sa wetpung marumi ni Fartso Pidal! Bagay sa iyo ang okupasyon na ‘yan dahil hibang ka naman talaga noon pa sa pera. Arroyo ka nga!
Kung ikaw ay gagawa ng coup ay tama, kung iba ay mali?! What planet did you come from?! Sa planeta ng mga hunghang?!
Natural, walang balak ang oposisyon na tigilan ang pagpapatalsik sa reyna mong mabantot. Nauubusan na ng matinong sasabihin itong si Joker! Walang sense ang pinagsasabi! It is better for him to rest forever and ever, amen. O saan nga pala magre-rest ang Joker? In hell!!!
Ganyan talaga ang mga Arroyo.May swindler,gambler,blogger,joker at singer.
do re mi fatso la ti do
Hahahah! “Si Trillanes ay may kamukha na isang blogger sa ET blog. Pero hindi dapat paniwalaan baka isara ang buong blog.”
Subukan ni Fartso na ipasara ang blog na ito, pag hindi naghuramentado si Yuko. Malalasap niya ang ngitngit nating lahat at iyan ang kanilang magiging katapusan! Oopss, beyond Fartso nga pala ang cyberspace! Belaaaat!
Read Ms. Ellen’s post on the other thread regarding Mike Defensor reading this blog. If ever he reads this, here is my message to him:
Tukayong Mike, tama po si Ma’am Ellen. Truth and justice ang hinihingi ng taong bayan. Yun lang po ‘tol.
Ellen,
Just saw your “Passing Through” at ABS-CBN Interactive. Is this a regular opinion column at abs-cbn online edition? NICE.

Opinion (as of 2:24 AM)
They deserve each other
PASSSING THROUGH By ELLEN TORDESILLAS
We can now throw away whatever illusions we had nurtured for Joker in matters of democratic ideals, honesty and integrity. Never mind Recto. We never expected much from him.
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sectionfront.aspx?CategoryId=16
Ni minsan ay hindi inamin ng Big Shit Joker na kamag-anak niya ang mga Pidal. Ngayon ay malaya na siyang puwedeng umamin. Si Trillanes ay kailan man hindi tumawag na ibagsak ang gobyerno. Siya at ang kanyang mga kasamahan ay tumatawag lang ng isang pagbabago sa military at ipinagtatanggol ang kapakanan ng mga maliliit na sundalo. Pero etong si Big Shit Joker? Noon panahon ni Erap, puro one on one meeting siya sa Pangulong Erap at maraming hiningi. Tapos itong Big Shit pa ang nanguna sa pag-impeach kay Erap. Hindi ba pinatalsik din ni Joke Shit si Erap na binoto ng milyon-milyong mga tao? Kapag makita ko siya, tatanggalin ko ang diaper niya na puro ihi at tae tapos isasampal ko sa mukha niya.
artsee,
Ibisto mo pa si Big Shit Joker at nang malaman ng sambayanang pinoy kung anong klaseng tao ito na nagkukunwaring human rights advocate! Fake din katulad ng amo niyang Unano!
Ate Chi, isa siyang Human Shits Advocate.
Magandang title ‘yan. Joker, A Human Shits Advocate! Ayos na ayos, artsee!
Salamat Ate Chit. Huwag lang may magkamaling bigkasin iyan ng Human Chit Advocate.
Jay,
Easy ka lang. Nakikita ng may-ari ng blog ang lahat ng posts. She has the say.
I would like to think that all of us are well informed and not going to this coming election as half blind. I agree, Joker Arroyo is big a joke, not to be trusted if my life defending on it and obviously Joker is double face, turn-coat, to say the least. Nevertheless, we need to dig in deep of what he was saying, perhaps we don’t want to hear the bad news of what he has to say. But, the point being, Joker has a point on Trillanes precarious circumtances. Many un-answered questions on Trillanes eligibility as a Senator should be debated before it’s too late. Most importantly, is Trillanes a liability to UNO ticket? Is he eligible to serve if he win? Is Trillanes the best UNO can offer, especially with military charges against him?
If we’re rejecting Angelo Reyes, mutineer Gloria and those Generals to what they did, why Trillanes is any difference?Is it because he decided to join the opposition? What if he joined mutineer Gloria instead, like Angelo Reyes, what would we think of him? It’s not impossible, especially in the Philippines politics.
Look, I’ve nothing against whatsoever with Trillanes, I’m looking at this as a person on the outside with great respect with the law of the land. If we’re to move forward, we must first recognize that there are laws must be respected. If no one will respect the rule of law, what kind of a nation we would expect the Philippines and its future? Lets be smart, smarter than thousands of mutineer Gloria put together.
It’s a legitimate argument in regards to Trillanes availability.
Can a tiger get rid of its stripes? Joker cannot, he will always be joker, the nemesis of Batman, nor can he get rid of his surname. Besides which he has always been a joke as a non-working staffless legislator. Are people taking him seriously as they surely do SONNY TRILLANES? But what will they do to Trillanes in prison away from the eyes of the public? I pray for him as a I hope bloggers will also.
Lumipat si Joker (anong klaseng pangalan yan)dahil hindi sya binigyan pangkumpanyang Pera ni Artsee kaya nagtampo. Matanda na kasi, baka “senile” na, dapat dyan idisqualify na yan, baka makalimutan pa ang pangalan, babangitin siya as si Mike Arroyo, lalo masama kung akala nya siya ay si Jose Pidal.
I’ve no argument, I know Joker Arroyo is a big shit, human shits, etc. So, what does prove? It’s nothing but rhetorical words to release the steam out. We are not thinking clearly, that’s why mutineer Gloria always got the upper hand. Again, we need to be smarter than those illegal corrupt illegal Malacanang occupants. Speak sofly and carry a big stick!
Mang Vic, ang galing mo. Paano mo nalaman na hindi ko binigyan ng pera si Big Shit Joker? Noon isang buwan pang walang tigil ng tawag iyan sa akin. Hindi lang siya, halos lahat ng kandidato hinahanap ako pati na mga baranggay. Kahit na mayaman ako, mauubos din ang pera ko. Anong akala nila, pinupulot ko lang sa Ongpin o Chinatown ang pera? Maiba ako ng usapan: Ngayong umiinit na ang kampanya, huwag tayong magtaka na maraming kandidato (opposition at administration) ang bumibisita dito sa blog. Baka nga magpadala ng mga mensahe sa atin. Nasa kay Ate Ellen na kung papayagan niyang magbigay ng komento ang mga kandidatong iyan. Aba, libreng ad ito dito. Milion na ang bisita dito. Malaking boto ang makukuha nila dito sa blog.
Let’s pretend I am Joker Arroyo—————
You all Moron are blaming me for joining the Unity ticket of the administration, I have a variety of reasons: Yes, I hate Trillanes because every time I come home, I always saw my wife adoring his picture that hang in our living room. I hate that handsome boy, because Erap the Batman made Trillanes as his Robin and I am still a Joker. I don’t have a place in there Batmobile except the trunk. I am special because I am Joker. Every time they played card games, I was not included , they tossed me out because I am Joker.
I joined the Unity ticket because I am a tightwad, for the fourteenth year I became a congressman I never passed any single bill and only one when I become a senator. I am tightwad and they don’t call me Joker for nothing.
Who told you that I was an opposition? I was able to fooled you all because I am a Joker. Blood is ticker than water. A hundred million is a waste if I don’t take a chance. You all can curse me, but,I am laughing my way on the bank. I am Joker.
That’s a good idea, artsee. You have something behind your ears talaga (hindi ako ang nagsabi niyan ha, iyong isang ate mo). heheh!
Something behind my ears? Wala naman. Tinignan ko sa salamin wala naman bagay na nakadikit. Tutule ba ang ibig mong sabihin? May regular akong taga-linis ng tutule.
Artsee:
Pambihira ka naman,pinadalhan mo ako dito ng bagong BMW wala palang makina.Nakipag-away na nga ako doon sa custom.Ang sabi nila sa akin itanong ko raw sa iyo.Ipadala mo ang makina agad ng magamit na.
Chi;
Na-crush ka kay Trillanes,Ano?
Cokecoy, Happy Valentine dear! Talagang walang makina ang BMW. Susunod na ang makina at doon na lang sa Tate ia-assemble para lumabas na US assembled ang kotse. Get mo ba? Ang hirap sa iyo ibang BMW ang alam mo (Bart, Muni and Walk).
Manay Chi, Pareng Cocoy, Artsee
Pakilasahan nga nyo ang poste ko tungkol sa mga UNO candidates. It’s sort of dirty jokes I perceived gma’s operatives will launch against our candidates. Inunahan ko lang. Apparently, jay cynikho didn’t relish my idea by calling it bobby trap and like a suicide bomber. Lumalabas tuloy akong dpa ni gma nito.
If you think it’s not ok, then I will ask Ate Ellen to edit it out. Then you can ask me also to stay out of the blog. No problem with me. Sanay ako sa mas matindi pang away, sa bundok at kaparangan. Doon na lang ako.
Gumagagawa pa naman ako ng matinding banat sa disunity team, nawalan na ako ng gana. Hindi na ako nakatulog after reading it. I don’t want to start something that’s not welcome in this forum.
No cocoy. I like his plata-porma. Hubby is mas guapo. heh!
joeseg, go to “DOJ blocks Trillanes..”, and see artsee and mine posts.
Mang Joeseg, huwag kang mag-alala. Ako ang nage-edit ng mga post dito. Nakikinig si Ate Ellen sa akin. Basta huwag mo lang akong awayin, ayos ka pards. Sige, nandiyan na ang ambulansiya para sunduin ako. Inatake na naman ako ng high blood dahil sa galit ko sa isa dito.
Pareng Joe;
Basta’t joke mo,uts na uts ako kahit itanong mo pa kay Elvira.
Artsee;
Gets ko na at hihintayin ko na lang.
Chi;Of course his plata-porma ang gusto ko rin.
Pero si BK iba.Burger King ang gusto.BK na nga ang Pilipinas,diba?
joeseg,
Ituloy mo ang banat sa disunity team. Talo tayo niyan kapag nagpatalo tayo sa mga banat (na hindi ko maintindihan why) ng isang blogger dito!
Ang ating isyu ay talunin ang bruhang si glue sa election at nang makahinga naman ang pinoy. We have to support UNO candidates to make it happen. We can do that by strenghthening this blog thru our serious or funny comments.
Guys,
Let’s get to work again. baka masunog na naman ang ating bahay!
Chi:
RE;Joeseg ituloy mo ang banat sa disunity team.Agree ako sa inyong dalawa.Don’t worry about that nickel.
Susundan ko lang si Artsee sa hospital baka madukutan siya doon alam n’yo naman di lang libo-libo ang dala noon kundi milyon.Babalikan ko kayo mamaya at tuloy mag luncj na rin ako.
Cokecoy, paano mo ako masusundan nasa Tate ka? Nandito na ako sa hospital. Hindi ko gusto itong Suite na ibinigay nila sa akin. Hindi ako nagdadala ng pera o cash. May secretary akong taga-dala ng attache case ko na puno ng pera. Ayaw kong matambok ang pitaka ko sa pantalon. Kapag naglalakad ako at matambok ang puwet ko akala si Jennifer Lopez ako. Nakahiga ako ngayon at gamit itong Apple laptop. Payo ng doctor ko puwede akong mag-computer kaya lang huwag basahin iyon mga kometong ikagagalit ko. Kaya simula ngayon meroon na akong kinuhang editor na taga-screen ng mga e-mail at sulat. Mura lang naman ang bayad ko sa kanya: $100 per hour para mag-screen lang.
Katatawag lang sa akin ni Mayor Binay at kinamusta ang kalagayan ko. Hindi ko na sana sasagutin pero nagkamali ako ng dinig. Akala ko sabi ng secretary ko “Pinay” tumawag. Kapag Pinay, siyempre napapalundag ako. Iyon pala si Mayor Binay. Sinumbong niya sa akin na nagpapa-importansiya si Kiko Panggigilan. Na-adopt na mga ng oppposition bilang kandidato ang yabang pa din itong kabalen ni tiyanak. Hindi muna sasama sa mga kampanya ng opposition pati na ang proclamation rally sa Makati hanggang hindi niya ma-check ang kanyang schedule o calendar. Namputsa ka Kiko! Kamuntik ka na nga hindi isama sa opposition at ayaw din sa iyo ng administration, tapos nagmamalaki ka ngayon. Sinong ipinagmamalaki mo? Ang asawa mong malaki ang bunganga?
“Sinabi pa ni Joker nainis siya na walang balak ang oposisyon tigilan ang kanilang planong patalsikin si Gloria.”
Why not ? The Opposition SHOULD oust Gloria. She is not the legitimate President of the Republic of the Philippines. From what I understand, Joker was an activist during Marcos’ time. How can he stomach Gloria now ? Only one thing leads me to believe that it’s really all about money !
“Naala-ala ko noong imbestigasyon ng Senado ng Oakwood mutiny, tinanong ni Trillanes kay Joker, kung ano ang diperensya ng ginawa nila at ng Edsa Dos? Sabi ni Joker, “we won”. Nanalo kami.”
Although I am not 100% for all the candidates of the Opposition, but because Joker gave an arrogant answer like “we won”, I will do a PROTEST vote in the May elections & VOTE 12-0. Should the Opposition win, tayo naman ang magsabi kay Joker, “we won”.
“Arroyo nga talaga” !
Here’s something to LAUGH about..In an article today in the Malaya by Jocelyn Montemayor, “Palace: Gloria is not the issue..Pooh-poohs ‘kiss of death’ warning”
The report says that “MALACAÑANG officials yesterday said the May 14 elections are not a referendum on President Arroyo as they dismissed reports that Team Unity senatorial candidates fear that being identified with her would lessen their chances of winning.”
Then let her campaign for her Senatoriables & let them see for themselves the results. One of the many character flaw of Gloria’s is that she CAN NOT TAKE THE TRUTH. When faced w/ it, La Gloria has difficulty w/ it. Kaya spin lang ng spin.
Sinong may sabing hindi kamag-anak ni Joker Arroyo si Pidal? Nagkakahiyaan lang o playing safe lang ang mga kumag. Either si Pidal ay nahihiyang may kamag-anak siyang mahirap na gustong yumaman sa isang political dirty trick. Iyong isa naman ayaw kilalaning kamag-anak si Pidal dahil nga masama ang reputation ng angkan nila sa probinsiya nila and he wants to look clean himself kahit na tinawag siyang great shit noong isang editor-in-chief at publisher ng isang newspaper. Ganoon lang kasi iyon. But bet you pareho silang may lahing ungas! 😛
Talk of heredity. Malaki ang nagagawa niyan sa katinuan ng isang angkan! Kaya trying hard ngayon na ikabit ang kanilang mga sarili sa isang santa! If that is not an illusion of grandeur, a mental illness as a matter of fact, what is?
Kawawa ang mga pilipino kapag hindi pa nila pinaalis ang mga walanghiyang iyan. On the other hand, Filipinos deserve what they get if they remain unperturbed by the grand looting, plundering, etc. being engaged in by these crooks in their government. God forgive them even if they know what they are doing for the sake of those who are trying hard, even those now 6 feet underground or in prison not even yet serving any term!!!
Who says that the Philippines is not in martial state? Two people who have been signing petitions against bad policies of this bogus government are now not allowed to leave the country. What the Bansot does not know is that they are not the ones meeting Japanese officials to push for the stopping of ODA to the bogus Pidal government but Japanese NGOs coordinating with our groups.
As a Japanese national, though, I am invited there all the time, especially when I know that my friend, a chairman of a strong political group in Japan, is there. Actually, she was the one most enthusiastic about banning the pseudo-entertainers cum wannabe prostitutes from the Philippines.
Chi, the word is not “magwawala” because I am not as uncouth as the Madame Boba-ry of the palace by the murky river. I’m too refined for that. Hindi lang tayo hihinto hangga’t hindi natin makitang malaya ang Pilipinas sa kamay ng isang dugong-aso!
Thanks you, and the rest of the barkada, enough to make up the ten required by the Lord above for a sincere prayer to free the country from all these vultures, fornicators and adulterers.
Sabi nagdarasal ang mga plastik. Gantihan din natin ng talagang dasal sa tunay na Diyos! Alan Peter Cayetano can lead the prayer. Let’s pray with him.

heto ang leader ng UNO:
IN 1998, Jose Victor ‘JV’ Ejercito, then 29 years old, became the biggest shareholder of the newly formed Best World Construction Corp., an affiliate of BW Resources Corp., the gaming company now in the dock for stock manipulation and insider trading.
Apart from Ejercito, the other incorporators of the construction firm were businessman Dante Tan, a key figure in the BW scandal; Tan’s lawyer Jose Salvador M. Rivera Jr.; Francis Ablan, who was named BW chairman early this year; and Malaysian businessman Kenneth Eswaran, Tan’s business associate who is a major shareholder of another BW affiliate, Best World Gaming & Entertainment Corp.
Corporate records show that the other shareholders of Best World Gaming include Tan, and lawyer Rivera—both of them JV Ejercito’s business partners in Best World Construction. In December 1998, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor), the government’s casino company, gave Best World Gaming the sole authority to conduct nationwide computerized online bingo gaming for 10 years.

==========================================================
heto naman ang UNANO:
SINCE her election to the Senate, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s net worth has increased more than tenfold, or from P6.7 million in 1992 to P72 million last year, according to statements of assets and liabilities she has been filing with the Ombudsman.
The bulk of the increase, averaging an annual 29 percent, presumably came from the interest earnings in her bank deposits, the sale and purchase of real property and stocks, and property inheritance.
The steepest increase in her net worth was recorded in 1997, a year before she ran for vice president, rising by 71 percent from the previous year’s P15.3 million to P26.1 million.
It was the year her cash in hand and in the banks rose fourfold from P704,540 to P2.86 million, she bought an agricultural lot in Nasugbu, Batangas, and she inherited property from her father, former President Diosdado Macapagal, valued at P5.4 million. It was also the year she bought a Kia Besta van for which she took out a bank loan of P341,434.
Arroyo also reported sharp increases in her net worth in 1998, the year she was elected vice president, and in 2000, a year before she assumed the presidency. Her net worth rose by P10 million (42 percent), from P26.1 million to P37 million, in 1998 and by P18 million (48 percent), from P39.5 million to P58.3 million, in 2000.

Ok, no problem. Thanks.
kaibigan pala ni binay si joker…..
http://www.manilamail.com/features/tatadletter.htm
No one opposed Lacson’s reentry, but no one pushed for Angara’s inclusion. There was not much information about Villar’s group — not even Jojo Binay could say whether or not his friend Joker was running again.
Tongue T.,
As an interpreter for the police, prosecutor’s office, court and bar association, and now paralegal, I, myself, wondered if Trillanes could make it, i.e, register and be qualified to run for Senator, but he did, and knowing the potential of this guy, I thought I should support him since anyway he is not yet convicted and his innocence or guilt has not been proven yet.
Over in Japan, judgment is based on motivation. When a suspect’s motive is not established well in the police investigation, most likely the case is dismissed. That is why the police has to form teams of experts to solve a case especially within the allowed time as prescribed by the law. The most that they can put a suspect on the investigation grill is 20 days. Then the prosecutor decides if he will indict or not the suspect, who becomes an accused after being indicted. Without concrete proofs and evidences to prove a motive, the prosecutor may just as well dismiss the case, for the court over here is merely to weight whether an accused is corrigible or not.
In the case of Trillanes, his actuations were more motivated by a sense of right and wrong, and he was looking for a way to right the wrong that you and I admit are definitely not right. Point is how many of the people there still know how to differentiate good from evil, right from wrong, good from bad, virtue from vice, pleasure from pain, and most of all justice from injustice?
Take the case of these Filipinos I meet in the police, court and prison in Japan. What a generation of corrupt Filipinos indeed! Saan na napunta ang kanilang sense of right and wrong?
That is why sans the military protocol, I see a different breed in Trillanes, one who has still that special gift to see the good and the bad even when his way of righting the wrong may be perceived as bad especially at this time of great confusion on what is good and what is bad.
Funny but this is actually what it is, “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.”
God bless Trillanes! I see hope in him.
SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!

As I said in an earlier thread, http://www.ellentordesillas.com/?p=914#comment-109077 , Joker’s record in the House and in the Senate was a very “clean” one. Amazing how he cheated his contituents into believing him.
The country spent more than P2 Billion in pork barrel alone for this joke and we got NOTHING back! Typical example of old activists who cursed Marcos to his grave for his corrupt ways and for stealing from the poor. Now he’s a muppet for someone worse than Marcos!
We’ll se how he starts retirement after the elections in his Forbes Park mansion.

congrats Ellen.
paalala lang sa mga pinoy, history ng ABS-CBN….
Martial law era
In September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand Marcos closed down any non-state broadcast services. ABS-CBN went off the air, as its studios were taken over by networks run by presidential crony Roberto Benedicto. The ABS-CBN Broadcast Center became the home of state-run TV stations Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Channel 2), Government Television (GTV Channel 4) and Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS Channel 9, formerly known as DZXL-TV 9 of CBN). Later on, the company was seized from the Lopez family, and then ABS-CBN Chairman and President Eugenio Lopez Jr. was imprisoned. On 1980, channel 2 together with channels 9 and 13 was moved to the newly built “Broadcast City” in Diliman, Quezon City.
hnp:
Are you referring to City 2 Balita times(Paul Lacanilao)?
Maharlika Broadcasting Corporation Ch.4(Wayne Roonie Nathanz’)?
RPN 9(Harry Gasser)?
IBC 13(Bingo Lacson)?

You bet! Palagay ko naglulupasay pa iyan sa semento kapag hindi nakuha ang gusto kaya takot na takot iyong titing Bunye (borrowed from Magno)! I can imagine her doing the same thing she did in New York according to a friend. Iyong dating secretary ng tatay niyang sa totoo lang bangas na bangas sa kaniya at talaga naman daw demonya, maldita na alembong pa! Ummmph…I should not say bad words!
STOP GUTOM! STOP KURAKOT! VOTE STRAIGHT UNO VERSUS UNANO!
Sinong maysabing this election is not going to be like a case of the People of the Republic of the Philippines VS Gloria M. Pidal Arroyo? Takot na takot ang mga mokong dahil alam na nilang talo sila. Kunyari pa raw sinabihan si mokang na huwag babalandra at alam nilang hindi sila mananalo! Ano iyan? Stupid is as stupid does!
Ellen,
Toney C posted this:
“Look, I’ve nothing against whatsoever with Trillanes, I’m looking at this as a person on the outside with great respect with the law of the land. If we’re to move forward, we must first recognize that there are laws must be respected. If no one will respect the rule of law, what kind of a nation we would expect the Philippines and its future? Lets be smart, smarter than thousands of mutineer Gloria put together.
It’s a legitimate argument in regards to Trillanes availability.”
Simply put, Trillanes violated the the very simple rule that my mother impressed to my mind while I was still a kid, together with my brothers and sisters–“Do not eat the hands that feed you”. This is the very reason why I don’t like Trillanes to be elected. He also violated the very first word/values in the motto of every PMA graduate which is LOYALTY.
Lest we forget, his Magdalo Group had been reported to be in contact/coalition with the Communist Party of the Philipines/New People’s Army as gathered from the evidence recovered in possession of Lt San Juan when he was arrested somewhere in Batangas in the late 2005. I’ve seen the transcripts of their (Magdalo Group) conversation with Ka Roger and NPA leaders in Southern Tagalog provinces.
Early this morning, a group of Phil Army Engineers were ambushed in Compostela Valley by the New People’s Army (NPA), who were undertaking a Barangay Water System Project in a far-flung/depressed area, which resulted to the killing and wounding most of these non-combat soldiers. This is the very same group that the Magdalo Group had been talking to for the past years for a coalition to topple the present administration/government.
Do you think the soldiers, their families, and their friends will vote Trillanes if this reported coalition between the Magdalo Group and the NPA is still existing and later played up in the media? Who would vote a candidate who is identified with a group which is anti-development?
Trillanes has three (3) active bank accounts at CITIBANK (according to my sources). Somebody is managing such accounts even if he is in confinement/prison. Such accounts have lots of deposits in it. Who are the donors? Where is he getting his money? If such money deposited will be used for his campaign, how will he repay such campaign donation/donors once he is elected as a Senator? I guess, his wife does not know the existence of these bank accounts!
hindinapinoy, matahimik lang akong nagbabasa ng mga postings dito sa bahay ni Ate Ellen sa mahaba-haba na ring panahon na hindi nagbibigay ng komento. Pero sandali ko lamang babasagin ang pananahimik kong ito para itanong lamang sa iyo kung ano ang puntos mo sa paulit-ulit na pagpasok sa isyu ni JV Ejercito na sinasabi mo ngang lider ng UNO, na hindi naman tutoo dahil si Mayor Binay ang nakatalagang pinuno sa UNO. Si JV ay itinalaga lang na “campaign manager” sa eleksyon na ito. Singit mo pa na magkaibigan pala si Joker at si Mayor Binay. hindinapenoy, hindi kaya me pagka-hunyango ka?
If Trillanes has ill-gotten wealth, the administation would have long ago went to town with it. And confiscated it.
BLACK KNIGHT Says: “–”Do not eat the hands that feed you”. ”
talagang mali ‘yun! kakainin mo pa ‘yung kamay na nag pakain sa ‘yo?
black knight, baka naman ganito “do not BITE the hands that feed you”?
matanong lang kita, sabi mo ayaw mo sa pamamalakad ni gloria, eh bakit sinisiraan mo ang isang malakas na baraha (trillanes)upang itaob ang bangka niya?
alam kong sundalo ka, maaari ngang opisyal pa at PMA’er, at alam mo ang mga kabulukan sa buong AFP, pero may ginagawa ka ba?
I must admit, I know nothing of Trillanes 3 active bank accounts, so I’ll leave it alone. The point of my argument is about fair justice that every Pilipinos should be treated equally and the respect for the rule of law. No one should be considered above the law, especially mutineer Gloria.
My friends, What we are laughing in here is the concept of the answer from the questions. Is this the kind of mentality that we want them to represent our freedom and interest through the passages of bills for us to uphold ? A simple question, they could not give a direct answer. What we need is a legislature who are firm, principle man to tip the balance on our interest not being lopsided on the will of the president.
Blacknight–About Trillanes bank account can you talk to talk and walk to walk about your statements? If not, you are only talking a hearsay, think twice my friend, because his reputation is at stakes in here. First and foremost he is incarcerated and I don’t think he has an special privilege to accommodate a luxuries of having electronics
Lumang tugtugin na iyang bank accounts kuno ng mga rebel soldiers. Tama si Ellen, if Trilanes has any, a copy of it would be all over the media controlled by tiyanak. Saludo ako sa mga taong may paninindigan. Trillianes has shown that no amount of intimidation by tiyanak and her bodyguards(I am sorry but I can not respect the two hemmorhoids as generals, Mayuga, and the likes of these ignoble trapos-they are giving PMA a veryu bad name! I consider them only as the bodyguards of the tiyanak) can break his spirit. He is not convicted of anything yet! He is just one of the prisoners of the tiyanak. She is known to either kill her opponents or simply put them in jail indefinitely until she finishes with her sinister plot of milking the country and pretending to be a leader (flaunting it all over the world) she never was and will never be!
Arroyo is nothing but a big joke, really! He reminds of the Joker in the Batman movies, always scheming but always a loser anyway. His name “JOKER” is a perfect description of this trapo. If he calls Escudero a “little boy”, I would like to call him a very old, smelly, senile man who does not know which direction he wants to go! I would like to tell him to just gracefully retire to his Forbes Park home before he finds himself in Tondo when the tide turns!
I’m excited to prove once again with the Grand Coalition,more commonly known as the United Opposition (UNO) that elections should NOT be costly.
Most of all, we’ll see how and what one motivated only with the sincere desire to right the wrong in the system and to serve his beloved country to the best of his ability literally and figuratively can do with people who can help him do a gargantuan job even when he is not free and in chain with the help of course by a force mightier than that of a legion and even a million stolen votes!
Yup, I am referring to these young turks of the UNO. They sure have guts and the looks, physical and otherwise.
Thanks, Ellen, for this venue you provide for us to come together and help that beleaguered land of our birth, regardless of whether or not we are still Filipinos. When the right time comes that the Unano is removed, we’ll celebrate with big bam boom! 😛
God willing it will be soon, and this time, it will be for real, nothing like the EDSA 1 & 2 that proved to be nothing but a powergrab for, of and by the ganids, gahamans and swapangs!!! Sorry the English adjectives cannot have the same effect, so I prefer to use the Tagalog words for them!
BK,
We aren’t interested in the bank accounts of Trillanes. The poor fellow may have 3 bank accounts, so what? Kung matipid siya, natural lang. Prove to us first that the contents of his bank accounts came from devious sources.
On the other hand, why don’t you expose the bank accounts of the Maldita and her Rasputin, plus the ill-gotten wealth even in the name of the apo maybe to escape detection? Those are the things that will make even the international news, I guess. And be sure you are not supplying only hearsays. You must have the valid proofs!
Come to think of it, how much is the bank account of the grandchildren of the Unano and the Pidal. I bet you maraming bank accounts iyan! Point is papaano magkakapera ang musmos kundi galing sa mga magulang, et al, and then check their net income, Bingo! Huling-huling maraming ninakaw! Madali namang mahuli sa totoo lang. Problema ayaw kumilos ang mga pulis, etc. kasi kamag-anak ang mga nakaupo kundi kaibigan at mga bayaran!!! OWWA funds inuubos kaya iyong mga OFWs hindi makahingi ng tulong. Sila-sila ngayon nag-aambagan para matulungan ang kapwa nila mga sawi.
Kawawang bansa. Ang hindi lang natitinag tingin ko ay iyong mga pa-golf-golf na lang–in the Philippines, not in EU! 😛
huwag na tayong maging pessimistic batay sa mga nagdaang pangyayari. ituon na lamang ang pansin kung paano matutulungang mahalal ang mga inaakala nating magtatrabaho nang husto upang ibangon ang ating bansa mula sa pagkakalugmok na kanyang kinasasadlakan. anumang dunong ang tinataglay ng sinuman, huwag ipagkait na ibahagi sa mga kulang kaalaman. walang mangyayari kung laging pagalingang salusalungat at hindi magkaroon ng isang pagkakasunduan.
napakaraming magagaling sa dito, sa totoo lang (pahiram, yuko), pero nagkakaroon ng salungatan at kung ano anong pagbubulgar na para bang dala lamang ng inggit o ewan!
you’re referring to this ellen?
pre-hello garci scandal, joker’s reaction nung unang naglabasa ang mga skandalo ni mike arroyo.
http://www.malaya.com.ph/july27/news1.htm
but didn’t joker arroyo initiate a 3-year investigation on corpus expose on lacson’s “hidden” billions and narcopolitics, per corpus and rosebud’s request, even though the DOJ under Nani perez and the NBI under reynaldo wycoco were doing it’s own investigations similar to jokers?
and when lacson tried to revive the 14 million dollar impsa bribery investigation this year
http://www.malaya.com.ph/jan12/news4.htm
joker thumbed it down again, making all sorts of similar excuses na hindi niya ginamit when he was invesigating corpus’ expose on lacson.

Re having many accoutns.
I have at least 10 bank accounts in Europe, 2 in the US and about 5 in Pinas but many have only 10-Euro deposits.
Doesn’t mean or having many bank accounts doesn’t make me rich at all.
black knight, you mentioned earlier of trillanes as “cadet”. were you his senior in the academy? but those days are long gone. even if he was your junior in your days in the academy, it is unbecoming addressing him as a mere cadet being already a commissioned officer like you in the regular force, AFP.
this only proves there is a BIG INGGIT in your head!
“Early this morning, a group of Phil Army Engineers were ambushed in Compostela Valley by the New People’s Army (NPA), who were undertaking a Barangay Water System Project in a far-flung/depressed area, which resulted to the killing and wounding most of these non-combat soldiers.”
Is this true Ellen?
Victor Corpuz, former La Sallite, PMA graduate, defector, Communist soldier turned author of “The Invisible Army”, but who retired as brigadier general AFP following his “surrender” was the training and tactical chief of the NPA for a long long time.
If this government is serious about preventing such occurences, it is imperative that they consult Victor Corpuz who slept with the enemy, who trained the enemy, who killed his former colleagues in various NPA-AFP encounters on how to counter the NPA.
tamang tama, para kay Victor …
Itanong na rin natin kay Romulo Neri kung bakit may poverty?

Johnmarzan:
Thanks for the news reviews. I actually never trusted this guy, Joker. Tuta din iyan ni FVR. I remember telling the police here in fact to watch for him when we were protesting against the sale of Philippine properties in Japan in 1989-92. Everytime this guy would come to Japan then, the property would either be torched to cause a fire or someone trying to cause a fire to gut it down.
It could be coincidental but it happened not just once but thrice. The old building there that was considered a historical site being the first planetarium in Japan was finally destroyed by a fire. You bet, and this fellow was here according to our informant!!!
That is why we never trusted this guy, and wondered why Filipinos would even want him to serve in the Blue Ribbon Committee!
Kawawang bansa! SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!

State prosecutors cite Olivares’ columns, editorials as proof
Inciting to sedition raps filed vs Tribune chief
By Benjamin B. Pulta
02/15/2007
In the day of hearts, the Tribune publisher and editor-in-chief, Ninez Cacho-Olivares, was slapped by the state prosecutors with the criminal charge of “inciting to sedition,” along with two columnists of the paper.
The charges were reported to have been submitted to the Manila Trial Court with a recommended bail of P12,000.
An arrest warrant is being expected by Olivares, who was not even given a copy of the resolution of the case, even as this was distributed to Justice beat reporters.

DoJ chief links opposition to Gloria ouster plot
02/15/2007
Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez yesterday said he has new evidence that would prove that some opposition personalities were behind the destabilization plots against the Arroyo administration.
He claimed that some members of the political opposition “conspired” with disgruntled military rebels who want to topple the government by “funding” their activities.
Gonzalez made the revelation in the aftermath of the inclusion of Lt. Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV in the lineup of the opposition in its senatorial slate for the May 14 elections.
The Justice chief said he has in his possession a sworn-statement of an incumbent official showing that some rebel groups are receiving money from the opposition.

Sobra ang guni-guni ni Gunggonzales. Baka may tupak na iyan sa ulo bakit hindi ipadala iyan sa Mandaluyong?
I remember that day when FPJ was buried, ang aga-aga ng ungas na humarap sa TV at nangingingiyaw na iyong funeral parade ni FPJ ilulusob sa Malacanang. O di napahiya siya!
Ay, wala nga palang hiya ang bisayang iyan. Otherwise, tumahimik na iyan dahil wala yata iyang sinabing nagkatotoo dahil nga gawa-gawa lang niya. Hindi pala gawa-gawa kundi guni-guni lang niya.

Joker and Kiko…among the very first to come out with those expensive print ads on the dailies…and what do they announce? Their defense as to why they joined Team GMA. Why so defensive, guys? We didn’t even have time to ask the question yet.
And Joker has said he doesn’t have the funds. But boy oh boy. Was he quick to shell out so much moola so so quickly, only a day or two after they announced joining Team GMA.
And Joker has hit Trillanes in order to justify his joining Team GMA? He has in fact implied that he is joining Gloria because she is the lesser evil.
My, my, Joker. What a way to treat your patroness. At least go all out and praise her sincerely…don’t do it half-heartedly.. na parang walang gana. After all, she’s footing your bills.

That “Passing Through” Congrats on that, to be accepted by a media part of the establishment, that’s a good indication for they read and know the handwriting on the wall. And you’re there even if only as small punctuation.
The Bible says King Solomon speaks his wisdom in riddles, that’s why Batsheba crossed the deserts and came with her gifts. Lucky Solomon bedding her too. I expect no Batsheba to come for I am no Solomon and am only a “trying hard wannabe” to speak in “riddles”. And I value my “riddles” more than the gifts of any Batsheba.

spartan,
sorry kung hindi mo makuha ang punto ko.
ito ang punto at ang paulit-ulit na sinasabi ko: pare-pareho lang ang mga yan na ang ultimate goal ay magpayaman.
si JV, sinasabing nag ‘sacrifice’ pero kung titingnan mo ang mga ‘dealings’, talagang sobrang busy siya sa mga ‘activities’ na wala namang kinalaman para sa kapakanan ng mahihirap.ang mga estrada ang laging bukang bibig ay PARA SA MASA. para sa mahirap ba yung mga business niya?
packing sheet!
at si gloria naman, ang bilis ding yumaman. para sa kapakanan ba ng pilipinas? hindi. para pang sarili lang.
isyu lang ang pag-usapan natin dito spartan.
Para sa akin, si FPJ ang pinaka-karapatdapat na naging Presidente sana ng Pilipinas. Sa pagkaalam ko ayaw niya ng donasyon sa kanyang kampanya dahil alam niya na kung manalo siya, ay may utang na loob siya na pagbigyan ang kanilang mga favours na hihilingin. Diyan ang umpisa ng corruption, plus kung may mga sipsip, lalong nasisira ang pamamalakad ng pinuno.
Mahirap bigyan kaagad ng papuri ang mga favourite na kandidato hanggat walang pang napapatunayan ang mga ito. Magteka-teka muna (kagaya ni FVR) sa pagpuri dahil baka magkamali, mahirap magsisi. Hindi bat isinuka nuon si Erap at ipinalit si Glue, para lang isuka ulit. Paulit-ulit or paikot-ikot, sabi nga ni hnp.
Anong sabi ni Kuya Lito kay Joker(as in joke) in his Malaya column?
“Enough already, Joker! Just stay BOUGHT!
Si Joker kasi putak nang putak. Para bagang ka-de-de-virgenized palang niya, gayong ang mga apo niya’y matagal ng nagka-apo ulit!
Ang payo ko kay Trillanes, pag ika’y nanalo, tulungan mo namang ihanap ng maiging Home for the Aged si Amang Joker mo, hane? Kon sa German pa, pakiusap ay ganire: !Sei so gut, bitte! Look for a good one, please!
Re: Si Joker kasi parang manok na putak nang putak, pagkatapos mangitlog!
Tama. “Enough already, Joker! Just stay BOUGHT!”
Bakit nga ba putak pa ng putak ay nabili na! Mali naman ang mga pinagsasabi ng senile na ito!
Again john, salamat sa archives mo!
just wondering: ano kaya ang iniisip ni cory aquino re joker’s joining the disunity team?
I am a daily visitor of Ellen’s blog, though I haven’t posted any comments ‘coz much of the things I would like to share have already been amply discussed by others. Nonetheless, in reaction to valid points raised by Toney Cuevas, I believe that Trillanes and the Magdalo group committed not a coup d’état nor a mutiny, but yes, the most that they could be accused of is insubordination.
I should point out that there is no attempt of power grab. If it was, objective, why did they have to occupy Oakwood knowing that they have been discovered and that a failed dialogue was made with the illegitimate President about two days prior to the Oakwood incident in July 2003 just before the SONA? Why did have to risk their lives and their soldiers’ and sacrifice the welfare of their dear families and their career for a very expensive adventurism with sure guarantee of failure? What trigger Magalo do what they did in Oakwook four years ago?
Their mission is greater than their career and the welfare of their families. Their mission is to expose this morally bankrupt who is so heartless and willing to sacrifice the lives of innocent and civilians and soldiers for a very despicable/devilish purpose. Perhaps some of you are aware or have heard of the statement of Magdalo soldiers at the height of Oakwood takeover, specifically relating to GREENBASE EXPOSE pointing to a small and very influential group in the military, in the national executive with the support of a world superpower as the master mind of the series of bombings in Mindanao that killed many civilians and soldiers in 2003. Perhaps some of you still remember the news about an American treasure hunter and suspected bomber was spirited out by FBI agents in a hospital Davao without coordination with local authorities in Davao and without the DOF filling a diplomatic protest? He was apprehended when a bomb exploded inside his hotel room injuring him. Perhaps Ellen can provide the links to all this.
They do what they did because these gallant and courageous soldiers and officers can not stomach exposing their starving and poorly equipped soldiers to extreme danger and to die in the process for a morally bankrupt purpose, hoping that by exposing them some reforms can be instituted in the process. They have delivered the message to the government and to the people. And they are paying for their sacrifices willingly.
He is not regretting what he did. He will not sell and compromise his soul. He is standing firm on his conviction and will continue to fight for it inside prison walls. He is running for senator to serve as forum for reforms in the military and good governance. He hopes to win but is prepared to lose the election and even to be stripped of his senatorship if he wins the election. He’ll work hard even while in prison.
I am not part of his campaign team. But I will campaign for him and vote for him as a protest vote. I’ll vote straight UNO.
My apologiesfor the long post, minsan lang naman.
pingkian, si heneral goyong, nabuhay na mag-uli?
Mrivera,
Maraming marangal at magigiting na batang sundalo na tulad hen. goyong sa loob ng Sandatahang Lakas, di pa nga lang sila heneral. Kailangan nga lamang payamanin pa ang kanilang ang kapatiran at ugnayan, tiwala at katapatan sa isa’t isa. Sila man ay magkakakilala at magkakaibigan, subalit ’di nila maihayag ang kanilang malalim na saloobin. Mas nag-iingat lang sila ngayon. At huwag natin silang intayin na sila ang magtakda ng pagkilos.
Sorry for my ignorance. Who is Gen. Goyong?
Email from Nick:
Magandang araw po! Ibilang po ninyo ako sa isa sa masugid ninyong tagasubaybay. Labis ko pong hinahangaan ang inyong mga sulatin lalung lalo na ang tungkol sa mga mambabatas na bagaman ay kagalang- galang ay maituturing namang taliwas. Hindi ko po maiwasang manghinayang sa ipinaglaban natin sa EDSA 1 ( I still have goose bumps reminiscing those times that I was part of the human barricade, so to speak). Parang tayo noon ay nahahalintulad kina Ginoong Trillanes, at iba pa ngayon. Magkatulad po ba ang mga pangyayari noong panahon ni Ginoong Marcos, Ginoong Estrada at Ginang Macapagal- Arroyo upang paghambingin? Matagal na po akong nasa labas ng Pilipinas alalaong baga’t hindi ko mapagwari kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo at hindi.
Salamat po,
Nick of US of A
I think Mrivera is referring to historical figure, one of our national hero and the youngest general, Gen. Gregorio H. del Pilar.
Gen. Gregorio H. del Pilar: My favorite Philippine general!
Thanks.
pingkian,
Your post helped my understanding of Oakwood a lot. Thanks. Hope you’ll blog more.
Gen. Gregorio H. del Pilar: Also my favorite Philippine general.
Mrivera, Pingkian,
Sorry to ask, ano na nga ang pingkian? I need to browse my history books. Hindi ba iyan ay isang lugar kung saan lumaban si Heneral Goyong?
Campaign slogan ni Senator Ping Lacson ang PINGKIAN. Ang ibig sabihin ay si PING IYAN.
pingkian, ikaw na ang sumagot kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pseudonym mo. natatawa ako dito sa mga kasama natin. napilipit na nang husto ang mga dila dahil sa kai-inggles, pati si heneral goyong hindi na kilala.
chi, ellen, kinakabag na ako sa katatawa sa pagbabasa ng mga tanong ninyo tungkol kay heneral goyong at pingkian. ha he hi ha hah!!!
tama. goyong is general gregorio del pilar who is also known as pingkian which means “tagisan”.
tama. goyong is general gregorio del pilar and was also known during the revolution as pingkian which means “tagisan”.
Mrivera
Pingkian ang naging alias ni Emilio Jacinto sa Katipunan. Sya ang aking idol ko sa Katipunan. Tama ka rin, Pingkian can also mean Tunggalian.
nagkamali ba ako? si milyo o si goyong ang “pingkian”?
may amnesiya na rin ba ako?
Mrivera,
Gaya nang sinabi ko kay apoy sa “Amnesia” baka naman naging makakalimutin ka dahil nag-marijuana ka nung araw.
There are 2 side effects of marijuana-smoking. First, you lose your memory. The second one, I forgot.
OK, tenkyu sa sagot ninyo pareho. May memory loss na rin yata ako dahil sa galit sa Unano!
Ellen,
Maybe Enrile and Ramos tried to conduct a coup in 1986 but it was a revolution (the People Power event) that placed Cory Aquino in power.
The 2001 People Power has already been ruled Intra- Constitutional by the Supreme Court. But if you wish to; would you care to elucidate the role of Joker in People Power 2 aside from leading the resignation of the House prosecutors?
If you are referring to the “right to privacy” in the Jose Pidal issue; that could have been rectified if those who wanted it re-opened pressed that a new development in the issue occurred when “Iggy” no longer remained a Private citizen when he won his seat in Congress.
Regarding his answer to Trillanes, I’d regard it as an answer “na pang-asar”.
Now about your claim that Joker is afraid of “coups”; it would greatly depend on what your and Joker’s definition of a coup would be and distinguish that from a revolution. Would a coup be one that was done without the consent of the people?
tongue, nag-marijuana ka rin ba? kasi nagka-amnesia ka rin yata. he he heh
Chi,
You are reasoning out that Joker feels that coups are ok for him as long he was the one who was doing it but not when others do.
Would you care to explain why the 2 successful People Power events were coups and why they are not different from the present attempts and Joker’s participation in the 2 previous ones?
mike_dlc
Based on the article referred; Paragraph 2 isn’t a categorical statement from Joker but already an interpretation of the reporter.
Based on the article referred; Paragraph 7 isn’t even a categorical statement that the insertion of a rebel precipitated their decision.
artsee,
So you claim to be the one who edits the posts here. And you’re even telling a poster to keep on your good side and the poster will stay OK!
Hindi ko alam kung ang pakiramdam mo ay inaaway na kita pag sinalungat ko ang mga pinagsasabi mo dito. Pero sigurado ay malalaman ko din ang kasagutan kung sakaling mawawala ang mga sinulat ko.
Do you have a correlation between the instances that Joker was asking favors from ex-Pres. Estrada and Joker’s eventual help in prosecuting the President in the impeachment?
Kung yung tungkol lang yan sa laban ng Makati at Taguig ay nabasa ko na yan.
BTW, as I was scanning the posts, I noticed many posts with fertilizer quality yet unfortunately lacking the good characteristic to be really used as such.
I wondered about that since I don’t usually see such language persists in blogs or forums. But then you are the “editor” so when I chanced upon one of your posts; well you can guess the rest.
Chabeli,
Your reason for voting the entire Opposition slate seems shallow. But you are free to vote as you wish no matter the reasons; so, so be it.
TonGuE-tWisTeD,
I encountered someone like you in PEX regarding a thread on Joker with nearly the same claim.
Both of you are wrong. And don’t pass the buck to Max Soliven (who not only is dead but also someone I respect). Max obviously made a mistake with regards to the article J Marzan’s is quoting.
Makati would not have become a city without Congressional action.
There may be more bills done by Joker but one is enough to show everyone that you are wrong!
Do proper research next time!
John Marzan,
I read your reply in Manolo’s blog but a word press problem continues to prevent me from answering there.
And I also saw a similar post like yours on PEX.
Anyway, I’ll post a similar reply in Manolo’s once it’s ok.
As to your statement that joker arroyo initiated a 3-year investigation on lacson even though the DOJ under Nani perez and the NBI under reynaldo wycoco were doing it’s own investigations similar to his; sometime in August 2003, the results of those investigations were to recommend to the DOJ to “pursue” their investigation and recommend to the Office of the Ombudsman that it “conduct” its own probe and file the appropriate charges if evidence warrants it.
With regards to the IMPSA case; Joker stated that:
“• It is a waste of time and taxpayers money as Congress is bound not to finish the probe because of the coming elections
• The Office of the Ombudsman has the jurisdiction of the case
• The findings might be in conflict with that of the Ombudsman”
Based on the article linked; the Ombudsman has already issued it’s recommendations. Ergo, it’s even leaps and bounds already on such an investigation.
By your statement, it took years for the Senate to finish their probe. But let’s say that the Senate miraculously finished their own probe on the matter within the available months; their findings will also be sent to the Ombudsman(which is mandated to serve as the lead agency in the total war on graft and corruption) that has already issued their own recommendations.
For some of the rest,
Just read my post to artsee. There’s a message somewhere in the there for you guys.
Justicialiga, mahilig magbiro si Artsee.
Now re you defense of Joker on coups, whatever his role is, front or behind, he was part of it. And he benefitted fron it bigtime. It’s sheer hyporicy on his part to condemn Trillanes.
And I remember very well his answer to Trillanes during the Senate investigation when asked about the difference between Oakwood and Edsa II. “We won”.
No legality is involved. Basta manalo ka okay.
As to his sitting on Jose Pidal, klaro naman yan e.
Ellen,
You didn’t give what you understand a coup is. Of course we’ll never know Joker’s real definition of one but you should have at least given yours.
Most understand coups to be conducted largely by the military alone.
And then you are not clarifying his role in them but just claim that there is. Pardon but you are a journalist so don’t take it the wrong way if we expect more from you. BTW, 1986 is a revolution.
And you want to give artsee the benefit that he/she is only joking yet you won’t extend the same for Joker.
Not that I necessarily believe that Iggy is Jose Pidal but like I said it was a right to privacy issue of a private citizen who supposedly had no connection (legally)to government.
