Here are replies by Rep. Ruffy Biazon to comments in a previous blog (The Gallant 32)concerning him. Since the post is already on page two, I decided to post his comments in the front page.
I appreciate it that Ruffy is taking time to address our concerns about his stand in the impeachment.

““BEING TIRED” IS SUCH AN “UNDER-STATEMENT” TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE TRULY FEELS…
you get tired by playing baskeball or exercising, or even after “making love” to your wife/partner….but with such BLATANT disregard by this government in (which you are also a part of) to the well-being and values of the “common” people like Mang Pedro the ice-cream vendor, Aling Juana the mag-gu-gulay, Atong the elementary student having his class under the alatires trees whose father was just killed “for being a militant activist/factory worker”…then seeing the same government officials wining and dining, driving Lexus, Escalades, or BMWs….people like me are not just “tired”…WE ARE SICK TO OUR STOMACK, WE ARE ALREADY VOMITTING, WE ARE ANGRY AND OUTRAGED…and, WE MIGHT BE EVEN ALREADY LUSTING FOR BLOOD…the “black blood” of all the CROOKS, LIARS, CORRUPT public officials and politicians who are continuously “raping” our Motherland”Yes, I guess saying that the people are “tired of goovernment” (which indeed, I am a part of) is an understatement. BUti pa si Mang Pedro at ALing Juana may pinagkakakitaan at si Atong nakakapasok sa eskwela. Sa aking distrito, marami ni walang pinagkakakitaan at maraming bata hindi nakakapasok sa eskwela dahil walang baon at pamasahe. Sila ang mga araw-araw kong nakakaharap sa aking pag-ikot sa distrito habang nagsasagawa ng konsultasyon.
By the way, not all government officials have Lexuses, BMWs, Escalades or other similar luxury vehicles.******************

“Gaya din ni Ellen, iginagalang ko ang pasya niya kahit na hindi ako sang-ayon. Pero hindi niya maaasahan na karamihan ng taga-Muntinlupa ay igagalang siya.”Salamat sa paggalang kahit hindi ka sumasang-ayon. Hindi ko naman inaasahan na lahat ng tao ay sasang-ayon sa akin. Sabi nga “you cannot please everyone.” Lahat tayo may sumasang-ayon at sumasalungat sa atin. Kahit nga ang Panginoon meron pa ring sumasalungat.
Ganun din sa paggalang. Hindi lahat ng tao gagalangin tayo. Meron at merong hindi magbibigay galang, kahit na sinabi ng Panginoon na mahalin at galangin ang bawat isa. Sa mga debate sa impeachment nga, pinakita ng ilang kongresista kung paano makipag-debate ng walang galang.

“artsee, ang susunod na eleksyon sa Muntinlupa ay mahirap maging basehan kung “mahuhusgahan” ng ng TAMA ang mga politikong “lantad na kaanib” at “tagong-kaanib” nina gloria. Ang lugar na ito ay “balwarte” ni toting bunye, at katulad din ng “nabanggit” ni Kagalang-galang na Representate de Kamara R. Biazon, andito din ang mga ELITISTA, may napakalaking Mall si Tabako diyan, andyan din ang mga gusali at opisina ng mga “big-time realtors” tulad ng Presidente ng Senado ngayon, iyong mga nasa “masa level” na ang karamihan ay naninirahan sa baybayin ng Laguna de Bay, tulad ng Bayanan…marami duon ay masasabing mga “paboritong papirmahin” ni Lambino ng SInGAW NG BAYAN, na sa halagang P500 o kaban ng bigas at kahon ng noodles ay handa nang humawak ng ballpen o isawsaw sa tinta ang “hinlalaki” at ibenta na ang kanilang “PRINSIPYO POLITIKAL”…aanhin nga naman ang politika kung KUMAKALAM ang kanilang mga sikmura.”In 2001, I ran and won under the banner of the opposition (and I served my whole first term as a member of the opposition in the House). My opponent then was incumbent Congressman Toting Bunye. Prior to serving as Congressman, he served 3 terms as elected mayor and 1 term as OIC-Mayor (after the Edsa 1). Ever since he assumed the post as mayor in 1986, his service was uninterrupted and his ticket always won. In that election, the incumbent Mayor was his long-time running mate, vicemayor to him when he was mayor. All the councilors and the barangay captains were with them.
His affiliation and affinity with former Pres. Ramos was definitely instrumental in keeping him in power. In 2001, he was the GMA adminsitration’s candidate, having been a key player in the Estrada impeachment in the House.
The area where Spartan calls “elitistas” was Bunye’s bailiwick, since he had a long standing relationship with them, and, being a former BPI executive, was supported by the professionals and upper class.
When I ran in 2001, all the odds were against me. In fact, the only person who had confidence I would win was my wife. My parents and my inlaws did not think I would win, along with some other well-meaning friends.
In spite of all the odds, I won handily over my opponent, so convincingly that he did not even file a protest (of course, his sportsmanship is one that may be commended).
In 2004, I was once again up against an administration candidate, both local and national. But I won with the biggest vote that any candidate has ever recevied in Muntinlupa’s history, including the biggest lead over my opponent.
This inspite of the fact that I was involved in the Davide Impeachment (which the civil-society sector took against me), my stand on Reproductive Health (which the Catholic church strongly campaigned against) and my joining the Liberal PArty (which then allied itself with the GMA administration, an issue that the Pro-Erap/FPJ were agitated about).
My votes were overwhelming from all classes and all genders, cutting across political persuasions and religions.
I say this not to brag but just to put into proper perspective how the voters in my district decide on who to support.
I believe I was able to achieve those successes because I did the basic thing that people expect from their government — I CONSULT with them directly, I LISTEN to what they have to say (whether it is praise or crticism ), I tell them the TRUTH about issues and reasons for my stand on those issues, I ACCEPT any wrongdoing and ask for their indulgence, forgiveness and understanding, and I DELIVER what I promise.
It does not concern me whether I win in the next election or not. I can always go back to private life and leave in peace minding my own business rather than be stressed and abuse my health or prematurely grow old worrying about my district’s and the nation’s affairs.
What matters is that in the end, I can face my Creator and confidently tell him that I have done my job sincerely and to the best of my ability. I’m not so much concerned about pleasing men than pleasing God. I know that if I serve the people in accordance to His Will, I will not go wrong with Him and it will not matter what people will say. After all, people have their own prejudices and faults, just as I have my own. God is the only judge we have that will not make a mistake (with all due repsects to people out there who ahve different religious beliefs).
Just like what Allan peter Cayetano said, ang takot ko ay nasa Diyos.

“Kung tutoo ang mga sinabi mo tungkol sa galaw ng pulitka sa Muntinlupa at balwarte ng Malacanang, di lalong na-confirm kung bakit hindi sumipot si Ruffyb dahil nga sa influence at pressure mula sa mga makapangyarihan taong binanggit mo.”Siguro sa paliwanag ko sa itaas, masasabing mali ang conlcusion na ito.
There is absolutely no pressure or influence on my decision. Whenever I am faced with a difficult political decision, I always isolate myself from people who may try to exert influence or pressure, not even my father. He knows that because that’s how he trained me. To make firm decisions based on conviction. The best decisions are not necessarily based on wisdom. The best decision is one that is based on one’s conviction because it is one that you can live with for the rest of your life. Poeple have made wise decisions but lacked conviction. In teh end, they are not sure if they did the right thing, in spite of the wisdom.
In the stand, I made on this recent impeachment, no one influenced or pressured me. NOt my Liberal Party mates, not the memebrs of teh opposition or administration, not my parents, not even my wife, who is my most important confidante and adviser.

“silence will always mean yes to status quo. impeachement voting is finished and to borrow some hated persons words, let us go forward, i.e., to the next battlefield.. what does cong biazon think about chacha.”I don’t my consider my absence during the vote as silence. There is a saying that sometimes the loudest message is the unspoken word. My absence was noted not by a few people. When the questions were asked, that was when I explained that it was an act of protest to the process that was pre-decided and served as an obstacle to truth.
Liek I said, just because we fight battles differently doesn’t mean we’re not on the same side.
With regard to Chacha, I agree that there are amendments that need to be done on the present constitution.
But with regard to the present move the amend or change the constitution, this is my position:
1. I disagree to the reason being given –the main reason being used for the present drive to change charter is that the rpesent system is supposedly the cause of our misery as a nation. I disagree. It’s the people runnning the system that’s to blame. If we change the sytem without pointing out the faults of those running the system, those faults will simply be carried over to the next system.
2. I disagree with the methods being used—-the People’s Initiative as pushed by Sigaw ng Bayan isa farce. It is not the people who are pushing for this but just the Politicians. (P.I. nila ito). In my district, the overwhelming sentiment is against it, and the signatures were either forged or the people were duped into signing it. Besides, the Supreme Court already said the law is insufficient to do the PI, and yet they insist on it. With the CON-ASS (voting as one version), I think it is the height of arrogance to simply ignore the Senate, especially since the present constitution’s spirit is that of bicameralism.
3. I disagree with the timing —- I believe that the correct time in doing a charter emendment or revision is during a time of political peace. Right now, the poltiical atmosphere is highly charged primarily because there are many unanswered fundamental issues. If we proceed with a chrater change at this time, we will only end up with the constitution that will be owned by a particular political party.

“Basta ang mas importante ang mga susunod niyang gagawin. Kapag ang kanyang mga kilos ay pabor kay tiyanak at hindi para sa opposition at mamamayan, di puwede na natin siyang husgahan at sabihin isa siyang traidor.”Nauunawaan ko ang nasa isipan ni artsee. Ngunit tanong ko lang, sino ba ang nasa lugar upang humusga kung ano ang pabor lamang kay gma at ano ang para sa mamamayan at oposisyon?
Halimbawa, may programa ng pabahay si gma para sa mga nakatira sa riles ng muntinlupa na aalisin para sa paggawa ng southrail…magiging laban ba sa oposisyon at sa mamamayan na nakatira sa riles kung ako ay mag-cooperate upang maisagawa ang proyektong ito?
O dapat ko bang harangin ang proyekto dahil si GMA ay magkakaroon ng political mileage dito, at hayaan ko munang manirahan ang mga mamamayan sa ilalim ng panganib na masagasaan ng tren ang kanilang mga anak sa pagpasok sa eskwela? Magtiis ba muna sila sa slum areas na may araw araw na bantang sila ay magkasakit ng dengue, cholera, tuberculosis at iba pang mga malubhang sakit? Sino ang magpapagamot sa kanila?

“I hope Cong Ruffy won’t take offence if I ask him what his stand or opinion is on the threat of Mike Pidal to file complaint against Cong Cayetano with the ethics committee, and probably expel him”
I don’t see any reason why I would take offence to this question.
I think there is no reason for Rep. Cayetano to expelled or even sanctioned by the COmmittee on Ethics. There is absolutely no reason for him to resign. Rep. Cayetano is working in behalf of the Filipino people who are demanding answers to these questions, which will not be answered by a complaint filed in the COmmittee on Ethics by the First Gentleman.
Sagutin na lamang ang tanog.

“I just finished watching the tv series of a Story How Singapore Came To Be…Lee Kuan Yew, he may also not be perfect…but by God, if the Philippines could have “someone” like him…I would believe “that miracles do exist”. Would it not be “plausible” to have someone like Lee Kuan Yew in our Philippine politics Honorable Congressman R. Biazon?”Yes, I believe it is plausible. But it depends not just on the politicians but on the people as well.
FIrst, politicians come from the ranks of the people. We must prove that politicians are not reflections of society itself. Inother words, that corrupt politicians are bred from a corrupt society.
I agree that many polticians nowadays are a bane to the people. But I just request that the people should refrain from lumping all politicians together as a “bunch of crooks”. there are good politicians out there. Let;s not make them collateral damage in our effort to weed out the bad politicians.
If we continue to brand all politicians as bad, how can we expect the sincere members of society to stand up and join the ranks of public officials? Kung matino kang tao, ayaw mo mabilang sa hanay ng mga tinatawag na kawatan.
Who will then be left to serve the nation? Only the thick-skinned and insensitive will have the guts to be in public office. We would have turned away those with potential to be serve sincerely.

Kaya ngayon pa lang ay tratuhin mo sana ng pantay ang lahat ng tao..ke botante mo o hindi.”You are correct. I won’t be congressman the rest of my life. I may choose to give up after this term. I might follow my immigrant brother to canada. Yes, I won’t be congressman forever. Yes, I might also be senator, if God wills it.
But just like my fahter said, “Have a vision, not ambition. Vision will give you a reason to serve. Ambition will just make you a hostage of it.”

“The hall of congress is the battleground in case of impeachment complaint against illegitimate President Gloria Arroyo. Pro and anti impeachment congressmen can be compared as “soldiers” in the battlefield. Deserters in the military are executed on the spot. Desertion or intentional abandonment is a serious crime. I think Rep. Raffy Biazon intentionally abandoned his beleaguered comrades in the impeachment deliberations and voting. Where are you Honorable Rep. Raffy Biazon when your comrades needed your support or help? Bakit may sakit ka noon? Non-participation or boycott may only benefits “superior GMA evil forces”. A negative vote can make a big difference in congressional proceedings. The Filipino people want to hear your stand against kleptocracry, election fraud and abuse of power in the impeachment proceedings. I know a tough then Marine Colonel Rodolfo Biazon who stand his ground against R.A.M. superior forces in a failed December 1989 coup d’état. He is a real hero and saver of democracy.”Sorry, you are incorrect in saying that I was sick on that day. I never said I was sick.
IN order to cut short this reply, I would like to refer you to my blog where I explained my position. If you really want to know the reasons, I suggest you read it. Unless, of course, you’re just taking a pot shot at me. Then, I welcome your posts here.

Ruffy Biazon versus Toting “I have to discs” Bunye in the 2007 elections? Ruffy, you must win to save Muntinlupa from disgrace!
I concur!
Ms. Ellen,
Sayang si Ruffy Biazon – hindi niya pinangatawanan ang kanyang convictions na inilahad niya noong first impeachment.
Isa pa naman siya sa hinangaan ko noon bilang hope of the fatherland. Sana ay isa pa rin siya sa mayroong wisdom na alam kung ano ang tama at ano ang mali.
Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. He can still redeem himself by sticking to his beliefs and “convictions”.
Cong RuffyB…let me shake your hand..i thnk u r sincere with what you mentioned on all of the above…but please check as well the latest news where they are relocating the squatters frm the riles..they are neighbor to a dumpsite where leachate will be flooding them in no time…i maybe too naive but atlest u have the sincerity and taking time to look and see what the people really have in their hearts. while we r in the subject of cervical cancer et al..why dont u push for proper population program starting with your area…less is more…kahit mahirap isipin…ang pamilyang may plano may pag-asa at plano para sa kinabukasan..again, may the sincerity and vision stay in your heart.
Ellen,
Ruffy Biazon seems to have what it takes to become a veritable national leader in the near future.
In the UK today, one of the stalwarts of the incoming breed of national leaders is a young man of not even 40 years of age: David Cameron, the new Tory party leader.
Like Cameron, Biazon has an incredibly hard task ahead of him if and when he makes it to the uppermost echelons of power because the leaders before him (and Cameron for that matter)will have messed up the national political landscape so badly that he and Camerion will have to work constantly overtime and double time to undo the mess and untangle the web that current national leaders would be leaving behind.
We need new blood everywhere in the world. The Bushes, the Blairs, the Macapagals of this world are already outdated even before their prime because they chose to lead by corruption, bigotry, hypocrisy, and by senseless aggression rather than the other way around.
The politicians of old must go and pave the way for the next generation of leaders.
The Philippines is lucky that you have a pool of young, upcoming, idealistic breed of people willing to take on the old order for a new order. We are not yet quite as lucky here in Europe… but it will come.
My oldest son has told me that he is considering joining the political arena (against my wishes) because he finds that apathy is not the right solution to problems besetting France and the UK today.
I am glad that Congressman Biazon is listening to the common people.
Stay the course Congressman, and if may give anther unsolicited advice, please DO NOT BETRAY the people! There is no substitute for honesty.
the Philippines is lucky in so many ways but can only be handled by a few good men so to speak. As i mentioned in anther loop, there is no need to plaster one’s face in the billboards for whatever project one is sincerely pushing for. the people themselves will know and will never forget someone who gave their sincerity..I wish there are more ‘politicians’like Cong Biazon…but he has to look at his back frm now on…he will be the target of many things judging by the looks that the minions of the administration are ‘tuned-in’ to this site…We cannot loose a Cong like RuffyB…As ms Anna says..there is no subsitute for HONESTY and lets not forget SINCERITY…
Emilio:
I second your motion. I have encountered RuffyB before in another egroup, and it turned out to be a fruitful exchange especially when he was convinced to support the OAV advocacy and worked for its passage he did with his dad. So, when I saw the article Ellen posted in her blog about what he has been doing positively in his constituency, I thought, there is the man that we can help even get ideas from what we can actually share with him.
I was disappointed, however, when he absented himself from the second impeachment especially when his absence contributed more to the boasting of the crooks among his colleagues that they were outnumbered even when in fact there must have been among even those who voted for the impeachment who wanted to vote otherwise, but chickened out when he/she failed to see stalwarts of the opposition like Ruffy there and convinced that they had actually given hope, so what the heck and use of resisting any further! It’s actually just simple common sense, but apparently a lot many of those being voted by Filipinos are nothing but what many have come to recognize as “Yagit.”
On the other hand, RuffyB is not one who has entered politics just to be praised and flattered especially by those who can promise him support and patronage that are part and parcel of dirty Philippine politics. In a way, I cannot help sympathize with him because politicians over here are freer and can be more sincere in their dedication and commitment to serve the people. There is none of the attempt to just try to please the people to be accepted. It is more like the people has voted for me because they believe and know I can do what I have committed myself to do for them. There is that big difference, and this kind of attitude in fact is reflected even in the attitude of those who support a candidate over here as the volunteers who help a candidate win. As a volunteer for a woman candidate in our district that I supported in my desire to bring to the attention of public officials here the plight of Filipino women being deployed to Japan even with the pimping of their own government, I have witnessed this kind of dedication and commitment that are fortunately recognized by wise voters and reason why a great many of them candidates here are able to compete more fairly with less temptation to commit fraud, graft and corruption.
Apparently, RuffyB needs our help and support to fortify himself even from the lure of graft and corruption, and the snare of the evil woman now squatting at the palace by the murky river who is in fact the mother of all lies and deceit akin in fact to the father of lies and deceit that is Satan.
Unfortunately, I cannot vote but I am willing to support him in some other legal ways and means. I actually own a property in Alabang, and I pay my taxes for it. If I settle down in the Philippines, I’ll probably be under the constituency of RuffyB.
Soleil:
I’ll probably need your expertise someday. Keep in touch.
I’ll be needing a reliable architect and contractor for building a house on my lot at a subdivision in Alabang someday. Medyo later kasi I need to have my vacation house built in Mexico first.
Kakatakot lang iyong hurricane. Fortunately, hindi madadale ang area where I have bought a lot. Iyong kaibigan kong Chinese sa SFO takot na takot kasi kagagawa lang ng bahay niya doon. Mas delikado ang lugar ng property ko kasi walang bahay sa harap kundi golf course. Mas maganda ang privileges offered by the Mexican government for investors like me kaya inuna ko doon.
Sa Pilipinas, nakakatakot especially when you have a wannabe criminal leading the country today. Walang security sa totoo lang. You should know because you are in the business there. Kaya hindi na natapos ang kawatan!
I am from AA and Cong Biazon is the Congressman in my area…..
I am disappointed with his non-participation!
Shining moment na sana, pinakawalan pa!
All becoz of that PORK?
this blog gave me hope once more, after cong biazons reply. this is the first time i got an answer from a politician directly though thru a blog. i have learned that if people can communicate, they can solve their problems. as i said the 2nd impeachment is finished and one must go forward to whatever is next..somebody mentioned cameron from uk and i tend to agree that we need young people to change the political landscape in the phil.. young people have much more energy than older ones and one need a lot of energy to change anything in the phil.. on the other hand one must also have an ideology or conviction which people can easily understand and identify with. cameron is trying to change the focus of the old liberal ideology on free enterprise by placing in front green-ecological politics. he had been working hard on this and even visiting neighboring countries to learn from them too..
Fact of the matter is Ruffy Biazon is not one of the gallant 32. At least I didn’t notice that Ruffy voted for impeachment or even support the impeachment. Overwhelming evidences are out there aginst Gloria and to justify it is quite unecessary at this point in time. It’s like Gloria were part of and headed the coup d’etat that force out the legitimate President of the Philippines. Nothing but meaningless words, bs if you will. We got enought of lip services in the Philippines and I not buying it, same as Gloria that she’s only answerable to her god. C’mon now, we aren’t just got off the boat.
You do not rationalize a mistake–you just admit you made a mistake.
What was at stake here was the TRUTH. One should never compromise the truth. Period. And if I may quote Pres. Bush, “it’s either you’re with us, or with…”
The choice was simple: TRUTH or LIE?
Sa mga 32 na oposisyon na pro-impeachment, SALUDO PO AKO SA INYO!!! Sa mga oposisyon na hindi bumuto at yong mga bumaliktad ….. iisa lang po ang gusto kung malaman ….. NA KUNG TOTOO O NANINIWALA BA KAYONG LAHAT SA MGA IBINIBINTANG KAY GMA????
Mr. Biazon, kung naniniwala po kayo, bakit hindi po kayo bumuto para kayo ay madinig ng taong bayan lalo na yong mga constituents mo? Papano po natin mapapa-alis ang Pekeng yan kung karamihan naman sa inyo ay bumabaliktad. Di ba pansarili lang ang desisyon niyo hindi para sa mga taong nakakarami? Ahhhhhhh… POWER, MONEY nga naman talaga.
Ang ipinagtataka ko lang ay kung totoo lahat ang mga ibinibintang natin sa Pekeng Pangulo at ang kanyang pamilya, bakit wala man lang tumayong kumalaban sa kanila? Sana itong si Mr. Cayetano ay hindi lalambot. Si Escudero alaws akong elib diyan …. Ninang niya yong FAKE.
Did I hear Ruffy says he might follow his brother to Canada? Then you may want to follow one Filipino who was in PM Chretien Cabinet (minister of Veterans Affair.) Here the playing field is level and the game is fair. Your experience would be very valuable for us here. You’re always welcome..
Norpil, try visiting Ruffy’s blog:

Ruffy to Canada? Cana diyan, Cana doon na naman? Mabuti naman at puro sagot ni Ruffyb sa mga komento natin. Dalawa lang ang nasaisip kong dahilan: Guilt feeling at para protektahan ang sarili niya sa pulitika. Kung may halalan ngayon, baka talunin siya kahit sinong kandidato. Nagkamali na siya at hindi na mababago iyan. Pero may pag-asa pa siyang bumawi. Nagmamasid lahat sa kanyang susunod na mga kilos at hakbang.
Lets leave god out of politics! And how god will judge such person’s actions. It’s nothing but propaganda of politics. What we hope as regular folks are quite simple and we don’t ask for much. All we want to hear which is quite rare in Phil. politics is the truth and nothing but the truth. A straight answer and not about playing basketball and/or making love to your wife/partner… Excuses nor apology is not an answer, at least not at the present circumstances when truth has been buried over 5 years ago. Quit the fancy words and/or smart a.. answers. Just give it to us straight! It’s all we ask!
Ruffy Biazon what’s your personal opinion of Gloria Arroyo? Many of us believe Gloria Arroyo is fake, illegitimate and shouldn’t be in Malacanang? I also deep in my heart confidence that Gloria Arroyo cheated FPJ of presidency and that Gloria conspired with Garcillano to make certain the million votes in her favor. Give us your own opinion of Gloria Arroyo. Your respond will be greatly appreciated.
Ok, I must also for the sake of all, respectfully request the frank, direct, honest and without any reservation your very own personal opinion as the character, moral, and the fitness and legality of President GLORIA ARROYO occupancy of the office of the President of the Repuclic of the Philippines??
ty ellen. sure i will.
Muntinlupa Rep. Raffy Biazon may have the “best stand” based on his blogsite for non-participation in the impeachment proceedings and voting. I disagree. You missed the train Mister Congressman. Let’s keep it that way. The issue is that the actual battlefield was inside the hall of congress NOT in the blogosphere. Tapos na ang boksing sa ring. Shadow boxing is far different from actual fight. The issue of legitimacy Gloria Arroyo’s presidency remains unanswered. Majority of the Filipino people believes Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts cheated the 2004 presidential election. In fact, Muntinlupa electorate rejected GMA in 2004 polls. It would be more acceptable if he voted abstain. Abstention can be interpreted as partial dismay or 50-50 stands on the issue. We hope that the Gallant 32 will continue to expose, prosecute and serve justice to abusive public officials.
C’mon Ruffy, even before the Justice Committee started the deliberations, you already knew the outcome that was to befall on the 2nd impeachment complaint. Obviously, majority of the members of that committee are GMA diehards. It is higly impossible and improbable that a man of your “caliber” would still “hope against hope” that Macarambon et. al. would allow the presentation at least of the evidence. Nevertheless, I don’t have a choice. I have to take your word for it. But I am sorry to say this Mr. Congressman: it reeks of hypocrisy and lack of sincerity.
Your reliance and applicaton of the doctrines of Sun Tzu as your shield of justification for your NON-PARTICIPATION in the voting at the plenary is sorely misplaced. We are not simply in a “war”, Ruffy, as you would like to put it. Just because the chances of success are nil should not be a justification for not showing up at a time when you are most needed. Your NON-PARTICIPATION instead helped the impostor and her cohorts to proclaim to all and sundry that “it’s time to move on”. If you really believed in what you stood for, you could have shown your moral support to the “opposition” by participating in the voting, even if you knew as everybody did that the impeachment complaint was doomed from the start.
You could not blame people like me who now doubt your sincerity. Words are not enough, Mr. Congressman. It must be coupled with actions.
By using Sun Tzu as the basis of your argument, you seemed to imply that Chiz and company who dared to defy the odds did not know “when and when not to fight”. If you prefer to measure your principles according to their chances of success, then you are no different from those you seem to abhor.
Ruffy Biazon why are you awol when roll call were called during impeachment when your present were such important to the people??? You not being at the front line, battlefield if you will, denied the people of the proper justice and a win for evil doers. I hope you’ll remember it the next time around, if there such opportunity.
Pope John Paul II apologized to the Jews. He said things could have been different if the Catholic Church condemned the inhumane acts of Hitler. Inaction cuts both ways, it could also mean self-preservation. But I must admit that Ruffy’s cancer prevention program is worth praising.
Akala ko ako lang ang hindi bilib sa mga paliwanag ni Ruffy at mga palusot niya…marami din palang may duda sa kanya. Pero alam niyo ba na isa siya sa may magandang survey rating sa listahan ng mga senatorial candidates? Mga number 8 yata siya sa listahan ng Pulse Asia. Minsan na akong nagbigay ng komento tungkol sa kanya at tinanggal ni Ate Ellen, kaya ilang na ako na magkomento pa. Pero dahil nakapag-comment kayo ng walang deletion ay itutuloy ko na rin. Huwag naman matulad siya sa tatay niya na may pagkabalimbing. Di ba isa sa loyal supporters ni tiyanak ang matandang Biazon? Tulad ni Kiko, ngayon lang naman nag-ingay si Senator Biazon. Kahit na sabihin nating may independent mind si Cong. Biazon, hindi maalis sa pamilya ang united position sa mga political issues. Sinayang ni Ruffy ang tiwala ng mga tao. Mahirap na maibalik niya iyan. May paraan pa…humanap siya ng celebrity girl friend o asawa (may asawa na ba siya?). Tumulad siya kay Kiko na ikinasal kay Sharon Cuneta at si Mar Roxas na kunwari nobya si Korina Sanchez. Baka bumalik ang tiwala ng bayan kahit pansamantala lang.
And Mr. Congressman, when do you precisely fight? When the pro-impeachment Congressmen already have the numbers to forthwith send the complaint to the Senate? Sheesh. That smacks of plain and simple opportunism.
What could have motivated the young Biazon’s non-participation at the plenary? In the realm of speculation, the following are the possibilities:
1. He sincerely believes that his absence was a great service to the people; or
2. He believes that since the complaint would have been dismissed, it was better to lie low so as not to further court the ire of the impostor. The elections are fast approaching. He badly needs the “pork” to finance his projects.
Sigurista lang si Ruffy…typical of a politician. Pasensiya siya…marami ang hindi naniniwala sa kanya. Kung ako siya, tumakbo na lang siya bilang Barangay Chairman. Baka sa inis ko kakausapin ko ang mga kamag-anak ko sa Munti na ibasura siya sa susunod na halalan. Dapat sa loob ng Munti na lang siya mag-congressman at baka maniwala sa kanya ang mga preso.
Ibasura sila!

Matagal ko nang sinasabi sa pitak na ito na may paraan para mapahiya si Pangulong Gloria Arroyo sa bayan sa pagkaligtas sa impeachment.
May kakampi na ako ngayon. Si Bishop Teodoro Bacani.
Sinabi ng obispo na ang mga sumuporta sa impeachment ngunit natalo sa dami ng buwayang kampon ni Pangulong Arroyo sa House of Representatives ay kailangang ibalik sa posisyon ng mga botante sa darating na halalan sa Mayo 2007.
Ibig niyang sabihin, at ganyan din naman ang tahasan kong sinabi noong una pa man, dapat ibasura o huwag iboto ang mga congressmen na humarang sa impeachment.
Kung magiging mayorya ang oposisyon pagkatapos ng 2007 election, siguradong impeach si GMA. Hindi niya masusuhulan ang oposisyon.
Malalim ang kahulugan ng sinabi ni Bishop Bacani na nagkataon naman na sinabi ko na rin.
Ipinaliwanag niya na “ang nangyayari sa mga tao ay malata ang diwa”. Ibig sabihin niyan, ang crisis sa pulitika at patuloy na paghihirap ng bansa ang siyang pumipigil sa mga tao para maglunsad muli ng “people power revolution”.
May ibang klaseng people power na sinasabi si Bishop Bacani. Gamitin ang boto ng bawat tao laban sa mga kumontra sa impeachment. Kung matalo ang mga buwaya, para na rin tayong nakaganti at tiyak na ma-impeach si GMA sa 2008.
Sinabi ko pa nga na baka ilathala ko ang mga pangalan ng lahat ng buwaya na nagligtas kay GMA sa impeachment. Gagawin ko ito sa panahon ng kampanya sa darating na taon.
Tingnan natin kung ano nga ang mangyayari. Ang mga buwaya ni GMA sa House of Representatives ay naniniwala na kung sumuporta sila sa impeachment, matatalo sila sa 2007 election.
Malalim ang ibig sabihin nito. Una, pagkakaitan sila ng malaking pork barrel para nga magamit sa kampanya.
Pangalawa, masasama sila sa puwedeng malawakang dayaan na mangyayari sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng kaban ng bayan.
Para nilang iniinsulto ang mga mahihirap na botanteng katulad namin. Akala nila, kung bibigyan kami ng suhol, ang iboboto namin ay mga kandidato nila. Baka ang mangyari niyan kunin namin ang pera pero kandidato namin ang iboboto. Hindi ‘yun kanila.
Ang malaking problema ay ang dayaan. Kung mangyari na naman iyan tulad ng pandaraya na ginawa ni Pangulong Arroyo noong siya ay “manalo” laban kay Fernando Poe Jr., wala talagang laban ang oposisyon kay GMA.
Wala pang mungkahi si Bishop Bacani tungkol sa posibilidad na iyan. Para sa akin, ang unang hakbang ay ang pagbuwag sa Namfrel. Kasama sila sa pandaraya bagaman ang kanilang tungkulin ay mabilis na mag-report ng resulta ng halalan para nga maiwasan ang dayaan.
Palitan ang Namfrel ng ibang organization na popondohan ng isang foundation, halimbawa. Maraming tutulong sa abroad kung ang layunin ay matiyak ang kalinisan ng halalan.
Tayong mga mahihirap na nakakapantay laban sa mga makapangyarihan at mayayaman sa panahon ng halalan dahil tig-isa tayo ng boto, ay dapat maging matatag sa paninindigan sa ating pinaniniwalaan, lalo na ang ating kandidato.
Bantayan natin ang ating boto. Ilista ang bilang ng boto ng bawat kandidato sa lahat ng presinto.
Sana merong isang mayaman na gagawa ng paraan para ma-report ang nasabing resulta sa isang opisina. Puwedeng gamitin ang cellular phone. Text lang puwede na.
Ang dapat nating tandaan, habambuhay ay tayong mga mahihirap ang naghahalal sa kanila. Pagkatapos manalo, tayo ring mahihirap ang pinarurusahan nila.
Pag-aralan natin at sundin ang payo ni Bishop Bacani.
May chance na sana si Cong. Biazon,
kaya lang, nauna ang “pangangailangan” kesa sa Bayan!
Dapat tandaan,
IILAN lamang ang tunay na may malasakit sa Bayan!
AAnhin pa ang damo, kung wala na ang kabayo?
KUNG kailan ka kailangan, at doon ka nakatulong,
hindi mas masarap yun, kaysa sa tumulong ka, pagkalipas ng ‘bagyo’?
Taga-MC po ako, kaya dapat tandaan ito ng mga kagaya kong tagaroon…..
Malapit na naman ang eleksyon!
Eh kung sabihin sa iyo ni Ruffy na hindi niya kailangan ang boto mo? Marami pang patch up ng butas ang gagawin niya para bumalik ang tiwala natin. Dati, sabi ko let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Ngayon, let’s give him the doubt (tama ba?)
Kahit na iisa lang ang boto ko, hinding hindi ako magbebenta ng boto! Kaso lang, marami kaming magkakamag-anak na nagkalat sa MC.
I will always look for someone who will make a stand and be consistent in his/her words…
Korek ka dyan!
More on ‘doubt’ rather than giving chances.
Huli na para doon.
Who says to leave out God in this mess? It is at times like this in fact that God’s inspiration to people like RuffyB is most needed. Unfortunately, he has not asked enough to be inspired to fight this battle like an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, for it is what this fight is all about.
We hear so much of the publicity stunt and the boisterous claims of the Pandak’s puppies in the Philippine Tongress that the second impeachment would not pass Congress even before all those impeachment claims were submitted for review and scrutiny at Congress. I could not help noticing in fact the smirks on the face of the guy accepting the impeachment claims, and I kind of want to puke knowing where he would stash them away later like the boor at the Malacanang who would even have pictures taken with him stepping on documents handed to him by protesters like Guingona, et al na halata mong nagsisipsip para bayaran lalo ng mahal with taxpayers’ money by his bogus president.
Ang ingay ng mga walanghiya so what’s wrong with making similar or louder noise to drown if not match the noise that they are making. For this, I agree RuffyB has made a mistake, and lost the chance to prove himself as a good alternative to the crooks dominating Philippine politics then, now and even in the future if Filipinos will not learn their lessons!!! 🙁
Now, let’s refrain from blaspheming God by saying that prayers for example will not change anything. I dare to disagree. I have seen a lot of miracles and fights succeeding because of prayers said with unwavering faith in God.
Now, why are Filipinos not getting answers to their prayers? The point is who are Filipinos prayers praying to? It actually depends on who they are addressing their prayers to.
What many do not realize is that there is a rule followed even when praying to the one and true God. It is more like one must have the right electrical connection to light a bulb, or as in the case of a candle, the right ingredient!
As Senator Pimental has stated, the impeachment is not dead. They can try submitting another one next year as the law provides unless you, guys, allow the Pandak to use her friends in the SC to sanction the ChaCha, and take not just control but full ownership of the Philippines! If she succeeds, don’t be surprised when you hear her change the name of the country to “Lualhati” the way her father changed the date of the Philippine independence even to honor his traitor of an ancestor who earned the people of Pampanga the unpalatable namecalling, “Mga Dugong Aso”!
Kung buhay lang ang lolo ko, pihado ko marami nang natanggap na “Tangna mo” si Pandak at mga minion niya. My grandfather in fact witnessed the assassination of Antonio Luna by the same group of Aguinaldo-Macapagal who wanted to take full control of the KKK, pero hindi naman pala kaya! But then, who would want to research more on why the Spaniards paid Aguinaldo big lumpsums after the assassinations of leaders of the KKK? Lalo pa ngayon! I bet you, a lot many of the documents on this must have already been tampered with.
Kawawang bansa! Wala na bang katapusan?
Mabisa ang dasal. Sa mga hindi naniniwala sa dasal, malaking pagkakamali iyan. Lahat ng nangyayari sa atin ay may kinalaman ang Diyos. Hindi puwedeng hindi isama ang Diyos sa lahat ng pangyayari ngayon, mabuti man o masama. Siguro ang dapat itanong ay sino at anong Diyos ang pinaglilingkuran nila. Tunay na Diyos ba o Diyos-Diyosan. Si tiyanak may Diyos din…kaya lang may dalawang sungay.
Mexican legislators’ disruption defies Fox
By Manuel Roig-Franzia
The Washington Post
MEXICO CITY — In a historic rebuke, opposition legislators seized control of Mexico’s congressional chamber Friday and blocked President Vicente Fox from delivering his final State of the Nation address.
Fox, who was adorned in Mexico’s green, red and white presidential sash, stood awkwardly in the chamber’s foyer for nearly 10 minutes before conceding that he had no chance of entering. Surrounded by bodyguards, Fox was handed a microphone, quickly said that he would leave and gave a copy of his speech to a legislative official.
The legislators who commandeered Mexico’s congressional building are aligned with the Democratic Revolutionary Party, or PRD, and its candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is demanding a full recount of the July 2 presidential election results.
After giving up, Fox turned and left the building with his wife, Mexico’s first lady, Martha Sahagun, who had donned an evening gown for the occasion. Fox smiled and nodded, while Sahagun chatted with the crowd that formed around them outside the building, which had been ringed by riot fencing and was guarded by 6,000 police officers. Then they disappeared into a waiting vehicle.
The scuttling of the presidential address, which broke a tradition dating 180 years, played out live on television in Mexico, where a dispute over the results of the election to replace Fox has brought massive protests and chaos to Mexico City’s downtown.
López Obrador, a populist former Mexico City mayor who has led the demonstrations, claims that fraud allegedly committed by Fox’s National Action Party is responsible for his apparent narrow loss to Felipe Calderón. After refusing López Obrador’s request for a full recount Aug. 6, Mexico’s special election court is expected to certify Calderón’s victory within days.
PRD legislators rushed the stage in Mexico’s legislative chamber, which was draped with a huge Mexican flag, while Chamber of Deputies President Jorge Zermeno tried in vain to get them to sit.
The legislators chanted “vote by vote, polling place by place,” repeating a phrase that López Obrador and his supporters have plastered on posters for the past two months. Some waved signs that said “Fox is a traitor,” and others lofted Mexican flags.
Their shouts could be heard in the distance as Fox climbed the building’s steps and stood before the glass doors leading from the foyer into the chamber. While the PRD legislators chanted, Fox shook his head and grimaced. Finally, he nodded his head and a cheer burst out of the chamber.
“This is a scandal,” Alejandro Rosas, a historian, said during one of the many news programs that filled the airwaves with shocked commentary after the incident.
Fox’s departure from the legislative building capped a strange sequence of events that captivated this city. First, thousands of police officers in riot gear surrounded the legislative building, anticipating a full-frontal assault by thousands of López Obrador supporters.
The masses of protesters never materialized. Dozens of street vendors who had anticipated a big crowd stood idle on the streets leading to the building. Police officers practiced using their shields to block violent demonstrators, squatting and rising repeatedly.
While the police waited for an onslaught that never came, López Obrador convened his latest in a series of dozens of “informative assemblies” in the large downtown square, the Zocalo, where thousands of his followers have been camping for the past month.
“Only the unjust resort to violence,” he told the crowd.
More importantly, he told the crowd to stay in place instead of marching to the legislative building as everyone had expected. The crowd cheered wildly, hanging on every word from López Obrador, who has vowed to form a parallel government and not accept Calderón’s ascendancy to Mexico’s highest office.
López Obrador’s crowds had slackened in recent weeks, but on Friday there was a renewed sense of energy as thousands of college students, back from summer break, poured into the square.
While López Obrador spoke, and later while Fox was being turned away, Calderón — the man who will soon likely lead this country — was nowhere to be seen.
Fox, meanwhile, later spoke directly to the nation in a televised speech from his office. He stressed his government’s success bringing democracy and transparency to the country. He also touted economic growth, conceding that poverty and lack of safety remained “an outstanding debt.”
He added that the actions of the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD, were not a personal affront.
“This attitude, contrary to democratic practices, does not represent an offense against myself, but rather against the presidential office and Mexican society,” he said.
López Obrador’s supporters in the Zocalo saw it differently, cheering the news that Fox was unable to give his speech. “The people united will never be divided,” they chanted.

para palang yung ginawa ni glue de cementado nung isang taon. after having found na talagang siya ang kausap ni kutsilyano, buong amo at parang tupa na sinabing … i am sorrow?
pero totoo kaya sa loob ni cong. ruffy ang mga sinabi niya? p’wede na bang tanggapin ngayon ang matapos kang itapon sa dagat at nilalapang ka ng mga pating at barakuda aariin mong maililigtas ka pa ng sori, patawad na?
kunsabagay, bahala nang humusga sa kanya ang mga constituents niya sa muntinlupa.
artsee,
hindi ako relihiyosong tao, pero yung sabihin mong diyos ang diyablong pinaniniwalaan ng tinamaan ng magaling na glue cemetado de cara na yan, isang malaking paglapastangan sa tunay na diyos. pwede at tama lamang na sabihin mong dinidiyos. but i don’t mean any harm sa iyo. just a piece of advice.
the bystander,
as i’ve stated before, there are only two categories where those public officials fall – isang makabayan at isang maka kaban ng bayan. (kulit ko, no?)
para sa akin walang anumang paliwanag ang makakaalis ng pagdududa kay cong. ruffy biazon. baka nga nakuha din ‘yan sa bulong ni ignacio “titing” punyeta na sayang ang pork barrel, hati tayo.
Salamat sa paalala mo pero tutoong may sungay ang Diyos ni tiyanak ng Malacanang. Si Lucifer ay diyos ng mga masasamang tao at makasalanan. Kaya nga tinapon sa impiyerno mula sa langit dahil gustong mag-Diyos. Huwag naman tayo maging literal palagi. Maraming tao na ang tingin sa salapi ay diyos. May mga grupong relihiyon din na Kulto na ang turing sa kanilang mga lider ay diyos. Tulad na lang nitong nahuling Mormon Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs. Pero salamat din sa punto mo…
Ystakei:
What I said in verbatim,if you’re referring to the statement that I made, “Lets leave God out of politics”. Surely, I didn’t say, ” to leave out God in this mess”. I commented in direct response to Ruffy’s statement, ” it will not matter what people will say…God is the only judge we have that will not make a mistake”. Also, recalled what fake Gloria once said, “only God can judge her”. I truly believe that there are place for everything, and I’m not judging Ruffy’s christian or whatever anyone’s belief. It’s of my opinion that we all going to be judged when the time come, judgement day. But, in this life, specifically the politicians in the Philippines are unswerable to the people, the constitution and the law of the land. It’s their sworn oath to the people. We hold them accountable since they all benefit to the grace that we afford them. We are their checks and balances. This is our moment now while we are in this world, and the law of the land created by the people must be respected at all time in which includes Ruffy and Gloria in particular.
May mga tao kasing sobrang sensitibo kung mabanggit ang pangalan ng Diyos. Blasphemy agad ang paratang. Ano ba sila, mas magaling sa Diyos? Walang iba sa mga miyembro ng Kulto na kapag pinintasan mo ang kanilang lider o simbahan, aawayin ka nila. Nagkalat na kasi ngayon ang mga panatiko. Sa isang panayam sa isang babaeng miyembro ng Fundamentalist LDS ni Warren Jeffs, tanong ng reporter kung ano ang masasabi ng babae sa nakakulong nilang lider…ang sagot susundin pa rin nila dahil naniniwala silang persecution lang daw ito sa kanilang lider.
Sabi nga sa Biblia, huwag kang huhusga at huhusgahin ka ng Diyos. Diyos at hindi tao ang dapat humusga. Walang makakaalam kung ano ang mangyayari at kinabukasan pero isa lang ang sigurado…may Araw ng Paghuhukom at pagbalik ni Kristo. Balikan natin itong si tiyanak…may araw din ang bruhang iyan. At palapit na palapit na ang araw na iyon. Kung makakaligtas siya dito sa lupa, tiyak sa impiyerno ang bagsak niya balang araw. Masusunog siya pati ang nunal niya.
congressman ruffy b. you have explained yourself more than enough. what is important is that, the position you took in the impeachment issue is the actual sentiment of the people in the district that you represent because that is what you really are, the representative of your constituents. you cannot arrogate unto yourselves the popular will of your people even if it is contrary to your own personal conviction. unfortunately for you, your rabid critics want you to think and act in conformity with their own mindset.
there is a saying that “for those who believe, no explanation is necessary, for those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.” after saying a mouthful on the position you took, i suggest, it would be better for you to unload your emotional baggage in dealing with unfair criticisms. there is no sense wasting your time and effort writing kilometric explanation just to satisfy people who are leery of your every motive from the very start. their contrary opinion will not matter most because they are not the ones accountable to your constituents and to God.
of course, your constituents, which i am sure you have consulted before taking your stand, are divided on the issue, but i am sure you took the position adopted by the majority of the people you represent.
you are right, you cannot please everyone in a society like ours so utterly divided, splitting endlessly like an atom. try to please one, and you will end up pleasing no one.
if deep down in your heart you fully knew that your vote reflects the true and actual sentiments of the majority of the people you represent, then there is nothing to worry about. all other side comments you read here are malicious innuendos not worth your time. when your heart is pure and clean, it is not possible to impute malice on other people’s act.
Hindi sapat ang paliwanag ni Ruffyb gaano man kahaba at kakulitan niya. Hindi ako mind reader o marunong magbasa ng sulat ng tao pero sa mga sinulat niya halatang guilty siya. Damage control lang ang pakay niya dito. Kung ako siya, tigilan na niya ang pagsagot at lalo lang siya nahahalata.
I would like to thank all those who commented on my post. It makes for good reflection.
Rest assured I hold no ill feelings to those who criticized me and well wishes to those who gave an encouraging word.
The commentaries, while I disagree with some and agreee with others, and while I see plain speculation and unfounded assumptions in some and find sound logic in others, I take them all in and use them to add whatever wisdom or knowledge that they may impart to me.
To ellen, thank you so much for this opportunity.
Artsee, salamat! Although I do not know you and you surely do not know me, I pray that God will shower you and your family with all his blessings.
Sana tutoo ang nasa loob mo Congressman. Nadamay ka sa masamang reputation ng mga pulitiko ngayon. Sana maging iba ka para tumaas ang uri ng mga hinirang na mga namumuna ng bayan natin. Hindi mo ako kilala pero kilala ko po kayo. Binantayan ko ang military at political career ng iyong amo. Nandoon ako sa isang media interview mo na lumabas sa ilong ang sipon mo at imbes na panyo ang ginamit mo kamay ang pinampunas mo. Ewan ko kung naaalala mo iyon.
Baka akala niyo puro atake at insulto ang ginagawa namin dito. Hindi. Mahal ka din namin. Pero bigyan mo kami ng kaunting panahon para malagpasan ang ginawa mong pang-indian sa impeachment. Sana maging leksiyon sa iyo ito. Nabanggit mo din lang ang reflection…mabuti naman dahil kami ay kasangkapan lamang ng itaas para ituwid ang mga pagkakamali ng mga taong tulad mo. Good luck na lang po at Mabuhay!
wow..such deluge of comments…i still feel that everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt esp with someone young and having a vision and mission…young blood will still be better than stale stinky attitude of the bogus administration that this country is having. It will take a ton of courage for someone to ‘go againts all odds’knwing that he/she could do other things for wht is now…kung baga, kung may maaaring pwedeng gawin ngayon na, ay gawin na..ang ibang hinaing ay pwede munang ipagpaubaya sa iba. obviously, yes the Cong has a ‘premonition’ that the impeachment will be junked bt i thnk ang nasa loobin nya ay ‘ano muna ang unang magawa, ay syang gawin’. yes , it was a numbers game, aside frm being present physically(which i thnk he should have done)..bt i thnk it will birng him more anxiety in being present. all i am saying is that may hindi talaga tayo alam dahil hindi tayo ang nasa sa situation like him..Cong RuffyB, i wont tell you to show us what u really are made of, bec i think you knw that the Fil people and nt only ur constituents are already mature and educated enough of what a government should really be doing for its people, how it should run a country. hindi na po mangmang ang pilipino kahit na almost 50% ay below poverty line…kahit karamihan ay kunternto sa mga telenovela at hand-outs..show us what u are really made of, at sa palagay ko, hindi naman ganun kakitid ang mga kababayan mo.
Yuko, thank you so much for the trust…will be my pleasure to assist u in whatever way i can 🙂 …i can refer u to very reliable contractors…
Meanwhile people, as Cong RuffyB is watching us…we show u here of how we hate this bogus administration so much..so much that we are ready to go out to the streets and throw rotten tomatoes if ever the entourage of the bruha will be crossing our way!!!
Correction po: namumuno hindi namumuna. Ama hindi amo. Inuulit ko po Congressman, hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. May pagkakataon pa po kayo. Halimbawa kung magkita kayo ng tiyanak na iyan, sigawan mo siya at tarayan. Kung puwede nga lang sampalin mo siya. Kung magawa mo ito, isa ako sa unang magpapatawad sa iyo.
Soleil:
I have not met RuffyB in person, but I have encountered him in an egroup before. Still I am not in a position to say that he has sold his soul to the devil just because he did not vote for the impeachment this time, for his absence is looked at more as conniving with the devil than what he says is his protest.
Mas hanga tuloy ang mga tao kay Cayetano for what he boldly did trying to expose the crook that has a bank account in Germany na sinabi naman na nasa pangalan ng anak e bakit si Fatso ang nagagalit at nagbabanta ng libel kay Cayetano. Ang labo yata! You’re right sa sinabi mo na nahuli sa bibig iyong isdang mataba!
At least, RuffyB takes time to know what the people say, even those not of his constituency for it is by this kind of interaction that he can react with them, and really learn what they need and/or feel, and at least correct wrong misconception about him that may be detrimental to the things that he has already done for the good of his constituents and the Filipinos in general lalo na sa mga blogs at egroups na invaded ng mga Internet Brigaders ni Pandak.
Tatlong grupo pa ang mga walanghiya sa totoo lang, one kunyari galit kay Pandak and try their best to arouse the bloggers to anger hanggang sa magkalabo-labo ang usapan but in the end, pag talagang action na, biglang urong ang mga animal, mananakot pang hindi sila mananalo.
Same thing with the alanganin na ang tone ng salita ay wala kayong magagawa dahil malakas si Pandak! Then meron noong kakampi kuno ni Pandak at ito ang talamak na mayabang na bastos pa.
Kukulo ang dugo mo. So when I read a post in blogs like this at halata ko nang Internet Brigade ni Pandak, hindi ko binabasa at sinasagot ang mga sulat nila. Hindi naman ako martir para sumakit ang ulo ko sa kanila. Useless naman sagutin kasi bayaran nga kaya stop. Kapag nakitang hindi ka papalag ay ikaw ang pag-iinitan ng mga walanghiya so you will stop blogging para sila ang maka-brainwash ng kanilang mga misinformation at informercials. I think alam mo naman ito, di ba?
Kaya tuloy ka lang ng blogging mo. Nakakatuwa iyong mga tawag mo sa mga kurakot. I hope hindi magkakaroon ng pangalang “maganda” si RuffyB sa iyo! 😛
Ano at sino naman ang ikaapat na grupo? Iyon nagsabing may tatlong grupo. May criminal investigation background din ako. Wika nga sa Ingles, it takes a thief to know a thief (naks Ingles iyan!). Ang mga taong mahilig magpahaging at magpatama ay duwag. Kunwari pa daw babanggitin ang pangalan ng kausap dito pero iba ang pinatatamaan. Sus, lumang trick na iyan. Basta ako ano man palagay ng iba…100% akong galit kay tiyanak. Hindi ko na kailangan painitin ang ulo ng iba dahil kung init lang ay ang ulo ko ang pinakamainit. At lalong hindi ako mayabang at bastos. Sinasabayan ko lang ang taong ganoon ang ugali. May iba kasing akala nila kayang-kaya nila ang tao. Eh ano kung isang tambak ang kaibigan at kakampi. Kaya ko naman lumaban ng sabayan. Si RuffyB, hindi man nabili ang kanyang kaluluwa, baka ang ispiritu niya naisuko na. Panahon na lang ang makapagsabi. Ang sugat kasi hindi basta gagaling na lang. Kung ako siya, tutulungan ko si Cayetano na labanan si Baboy. Kahit man lang taga-dala ng folder o attache case ni Cayetano sa mga meeting at conference. Kahit papaano diyan makikita ang sinseridad ni Ruffy.
SO NOW…
it is established that there are public “servants” who read comments like those posted in this and similar blogs.
Sampol na si Cong. Biazon, na nagpaliwanag ng kanyang stand[ kahit na bals wals na sa akin na taga-MC kasi nga, dahil pinalampas ang chance na patunayang siya ay hindi kasama sa ‘legions’ ni glue]……
Malamang sa hindi, itong huwad na presidente ay nagbabasa rin….sampu ng anak na kamukha nya!
I can just imagine how glue looks in the middle of her renowned tantrum! …..LOL!
I agree artsee………
Cong. Biazon has years to make amends if he wants to mend his reputation and show us [his constituents] that he means well and will do whatever it takes to “serve the people” who placed him there.
I must admit he took time to answer the lingering questions of some posters/bloggers here…and that, to my mind, is a sign of his good breeding, and, as you said, ‘sincerity’…
Others disguise themselves and send their underlings to “shake” some blogs.
But as I always say, Only time will tell…..
Cory by the Sea:
This is not a hunch. It is a established fact. Iyong anak na babae, iyan ang trabaho. If you visit (you register if you are not registered) the OFW lists at yahoogroups. you will encounter this daughter somehow. There was a time when I answered a message in one of such lists (Talsik) where she blogged under a fictitious name. Biglang sumagot sa pangalan niya. Di nabisto siya! Since then, she has blogged in some aunt’s addy, etc. and/or cloned by some psycho who probably makes blogging as his/profession as he/she is almost all the blogs and egroups I am in at nakikipag-away pa sa sarili that he/she used to do in a newsgroup that I first met this person. Nagkagulo dahil sa taong iyon. Nagalit tuloy ang owner/moderator. Sinara ang egroup sa galit!
Kaya sulat ka lang para malaman ng mga ungas ang nasasaloob mo. Dito ka na lang makakasama sa protest gaya ng ginagawa namin sa Tokyo.
Mainit ang mga walanghiya kay Ellen kaya no doubt that they are reading this blog, and monitoring everyone. Our advantage in Japan is that we are protected by the law guaranteeing freedom of speech. Calling the idiot names is not a criminal offense. It is a privilege! Over here it is not considered libelous especially when they exhibit such attributes! Kaya sa totoo lang iyong kaso laban kay Banayo, dito iyan hindi iyan papasa. Kaya diyan mo makikita na siguro iyong mga judges ng Pilipinas, marami sa kanila pihado napasa sa bar sa pandaraya!!! Ang bobo naman.
Beware of the Internet Brigade spreading misinformation. Tapos papatawan kayo ng libel suit kuno kapag sinakyan ninyo ang misinformation. Ganyan ang isang trick no doubt ng mga ungas na kriminal. Hindi pa bumaba hindi naman kayang mamuno kasi panay lang ang pa-cute-cute hindi naman cute. Acute, yes!
They have actually attempted to discourage a lot many of us to blog here by preventing our access to this blog. Halata mo kasi pati si Ellen who owns this blog could not at one time access it kasi may naka-block.
A number of IT mania among us in fact has discovered that the bloggers are even based in the US most probably under the direction of the son who now practically resides in SFO or Cebu where it is reported they have a communication center where those hocus-pocus figures that gave the Pandak must have been produced.
Unfortunately, with a police force answering to the beck and calls of the crook, mahirap itong mapatunayan with the witnesses not being able to get proper protection. Not even the sanctuary a bishop is granting a valuable witness will not be enough to undo what should be undone.
Kawawa talaga ang justice sa Pilipinas. Ito ang dapat na hindi tahimik si RuffyB as a matter of fact kaya lang baka naman siya ang ipapapatay kung hindi siya maingat! Pero bilib din ako sa tapang ni Cayetano pati na si Jamby Madrigal na sobrang maligned ng mga demonyong palakpak ni Pandak. I should write to Enrile on this as a matter of fact. Nababaklaan kasi ako sa mga lalaking bastos sa babae!
Sa China hindi din uubra ang mga gagong iyan. Puro Kung Fu masters ang mga taga-rito. Isang sipa lang bagsak na ang mga loko. Sa China nag-umpisa ang mga Asian Martial Arts. Kinopya lang sa Chinese Kung Fu ang mga Japanese karate, judo, aikido, jujitsu, etc. Bakit ko binabanggit ito? Hindi sa kinukumpara ko, kahit na walang masyadong freedom of speech sa China, hindi uubra ang mga loko dahil bitay o execution ang aabutin nila.
Before I used to write comments in ph. blog….
2 araw bago ma-publish! Tapos yung mga totoong sasabihin ng poster, deleted! hanep!
Walang freedom of speech sa Bayang Magiliw!????
ANO YAN!?
Hanoba kayo?!!!
More so sa FREEDOM OF INFORMATION….wala nyan sa Bansa…sasabihin lang nila yung may clearance sa huwad na presidente!
Screened lahat para yung pabor lang sa kanya at sa kanyang kamag-anak ang nakakalabas na impormasyon.
Aba’y tinamaan ng kulog ang mga damontres! Akala tuloy nung pamangkin ko, nasa Myanmar siya…may checkpoint pa lalo na sa gabi!
At yung nasa checkpoint, parang sila ang mga hoodlums eh!
@ystakei-san:
Maybe it’s true!
Wala namang ginagawa yatang trabaho itong anak, meron ba?
Mabuti pa si ‘Sayaka-san’ may ‘career’ kahit na simple lang!!!!
Tsaka sinuman ang mapapangasawa nyan, baka salaping nakurakot lamang ang hanap…Sino ba naman ang magtiyatiyaga sa pagmumukha ng anak? Sumalosep! Parang ipinaglihi sa buwayang hindi ko maunawaan! Aba eh, kamukhang di hamak ng kyutang ina nya! Para silang biniyak na camachile! Ang papakla!
Patawarin mo po ako, Diyos ko, at sa aking kainisan…dito man lang mabulyawan ang mga buwaya at buwayitang sumusupil sa aming Bansa. Amen.
Ruffy B, I’m confident we’ll be side by side in many of the struggles ahead of us.
Thanks and good luck. Don’t allow “I have two discs” Bunye to return to power in Muntinlupa.
Cory by the Sea:
Kalog ka rin ha! It reminds me of someone who had a sexy picture pero ang pangit ng mukha. Sabi noong kaibigan kong kano, “Wow!” Tinanong ko siya kung nagagandahan siya sa mukha, pero sabi niya hindi daw, pero maganda ang katawan Anyway, hindi naman daw kailangan ang itaas! Bastos!
Iyong sinasabi mo Cory by the Sea na censorship, totoo iyan pero in most cases bayaran iyong mga pro-Pandak. Nalaman ko iyan sa editor ko who told me that they are paid high and then they pay the newspapers to publish their articles. Diyan kumikita ang mga karamihan high-profile na journalist na nababasa natin. Pambihira ang mga katulad ni Ellen as a matter of fact. A handful lang ang alam kong matapang gaya ni Lito Banayo, Mentong Laurel, Ninez Olivares and Jake Macasaet. Marami ang peke kaya walang magawa ang mga media sa Pilipinas. Kung hindi ka bayaran, papatayin ka naman. Iyong ngang ginawa sa isang journalist sa Mt. Province, grabe. Tinadtad pa! Kawawang bansa!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Cory by the Sea,
Sino si Sayaka-san? Anak ba iyan ni Koizumi. Alam ko artista din ang anak niya pero di hamak naman na may mukha (natural hindi retoke!) ang anak niyang lalaki. Hindi kasi ako nanonood ng mga program sa TV ng mga geinojin. Puro news lang ako. Basahin ko man sa Shukan Josei, hindi ko rin kilala.
Ellen, RuffyB,
Anybody against graft and corruption we support. We actually plan to invite them to join us when we meet with Parliamentarians in Japan to make sure that ODAs given to the Philippines are not squandered by the Pandak.
Busy kasi dito ngayon because Koizumi is stepping down and there is going to be a sort of board meeting in the leading political party to choose his successor.
Ours is a parliamentary but that is because Japan is a monarchy, and the system is more patterned after that of Britain made Americanish by the Constitution and laws imposed by the Americans on the Japanese after WWII. I am actually in a movement against the revision of the pacifist Constitution that ironically is being endorsed by the mad man in the White House.
Para sa akin, okay kung si Abe ang pumalit kay Koizumi. Huwag lang may dugong Kapampangan kasi salitang Kapampangan yata ang Abe.
Who is Cory by the Sea?

COntinuation….
Yes, I guess saying that the people are “tired of goovernment” (which indeed, I am a part of) is an understatement. BUti pa si Mang Pedro at ALing Juana may pinagkakakitaan at si Atong nakakapasok sa eskwela. Sa aking distrito, marami ni walang pinagkakakitaan at maraming bata hindi nakakapasok sa eskwela dahil walang baon at pamasahe. Sila ang mga araw-araw kong nakakaharap sa aking pag-ikot sa distrito habang nagsasagawa ng konsultasyon.
By the way, not all government officials have Lexuses, BMWs, Escalades or other similar luxury vehicles.
medyo bumabaw ata iyong sagot mo, “buti”? ano ang mabuti sa mga “halimbawang karakter” na tulad ni Juana, Pedro at Atong???? Sabihin mo pang “kasi” marami sa iyong distrito ang “walang-wala” talaga….paano mo naman nasiguro na “si Atong, Juana, at Mang Pedro” ay “hindi kasama sa mga taong nasa iyong lugar”??? Not all government officials have lexuses, BMWs, Escalades or other similar luxury vehicles….sino me sabi niyan sa iyo??? hindi ba’t sabi nga ni gloria na “dapat maghigpit ng sinturon…kasi nga “broke daw ang gobyerno”…kaya nga ipinasa nyo pa iyong E-VAT, para “madagdagan ang koleksyon ng salapi mula sa NAGHIHIRAP NANG TAUMBAYAN”…pero ano? punta ka sa MALLS, paparada sa tabi mo, BRAND NEW FORTUNER, red plate..me sticker ng DECS….magkano iyong Toyota Fortuner last year? Hindi ba’t “waiting lists” pa nga iyon??? Tiyak iyong bumaba na DECS official na nag-mall HINDI pa iyon ang “SECRETARY of DECS”, maaaring 3rd grade official lang iyon….so, you can already imagine how much more si SECRETARY, kung ano naman ang “wheels” nya….samantalang “meron ngang mga Atong” na sa ilalim ng puno ng alatires at santol “nagka-klase”???
I think you’ve “missed” the points of my “analogy”…your “bad feelings” on reading such comments from us is “getting the better off from you”… pasensya na ginoong ruffy biazon, I am a “mere nothing…a man with an alias on this forum”…but for me, you’re just like the other “typical TRAPOS” that “littered” our country’s “dinosaur-like” political scenes.
I thought you would be not of the same “cuts” like those “offsprings” of other “old-time politicians”, whose “ticket to the political arenas” were merely “handed” like a “free movie pass” to them by their loving “Folks”. But don’t get me wrong..I mean, your Dad earned “admirations” during the last elections “for threathening” gloria herself that “ballot boxes” would be opened if “he (your Dad) really lose from the late bobby barbers because of the hokus-pokuses being performed by the evil empire’s sorcerers (abalos, garci, et al)”. Sen. Rodolfo Biazon’s political career got a “fresh boost of energy” thanks to his “growls”.
Toney Cuevas….the continued using of HIS name in vain by these “TRAPOS” can’t save their “souls from oblivion”…no matter “which” of the Gods they call….like all of us that breaths the polluted air of the Philippines would “croak” when our times are up..it would be just the diffrence of the “services” and “coffins” that would matter…hehehe.
Kumusta Spartan? Ang tagal mong nawala. Sino kaya itong Cuevas na ito? Related kaya siya kay dating SC Justice Serafin Cuevas na tauhan ni Erap?
Sana ang pangalan ng thread na ito palitan mula sa “Ruffy B Replies” Sa “Ruffy B Regrets”.
Spartan,
Apparently, you are the one who missed the point. I said “Buti pa si Mang Pedro at ALing Juana may pinagkakakitaan at si Atong nakakapasok sa eskwela”, in comparison to people in my district who don’t have any means of livelihood at all. Of course, MAng Pedro,ALing Juana and Atong deserve more than what they are getting from government. I was just pointing out that others have even less than what your three personas have.
With regard to my statement that not all government officials have luxury cars, it is a statement of fact (which, of course, you dispute with your example of a red-plated fortuner with a decs sticker). I would like to give you and example—former Secretary Emi Boncodin. There are many others. Again, I say, NOT ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE LUXURY CARS. THAT’S A FACT.
Finally, please refrain using quotation marks too often. It gives the impression that you are quoting directly from another person even if it is not a direct quote. If the thought is your own, you do not need to put it in quotes.
artsee,
you said:
“Sana ang pangalan ng thread na ito palitan mula sa “Ruffy B Replies” Sa “Ruffy B Regrets”.”
That would be inaccurate. I never said I regretted anything.
ruffy b…no point for me to exchange views with you anymore, apparently I said you “missed the point” and then you “countered” that it was I “who missed the point”. The bottom line is you’re the “tongressman” and I’m just one of those “ranting and raving”(as per your statement describing noisy people like us) discontent TAONGBAYAN.
and one more thing…you said…
Finally, please refrain using quotation marks too often. It gives the impression that you are quoting directly from another person even if it is not a direct quote. If the thought is your own, you do not need to put it in quotes.
naging “teacher” ka pa??? I used this “mark” to TO PUT EMPHASIZE to that particular word, phrase, or statement that I am typing in…because it’s my way of “saying it STRONGLY”, sort of giving life to the written lifeless letters. It’s as if we are just having a coversation in front of each other… Now, hope you got my point on this one?
by the way ruffy biazon…do you use this tech called tex messaging? how do u text…I mean let’s say you’re sending a msg to your wife, girlfriend, utol..whoever…”Pauwi na ako ng bahay…”, do you send the message in this form??? most people including me would have made it like this…”pauwi n me bhay”…”d2 n ko bhay”…”san n u”…now, would my english/pilipino grammar teacher in college correct me on the way I “murder” the rules of writing??? I don’t know, but one good thing for me in “chatting” with other people that I really don’t know personally in the net, is that it enables me to somewhat “learn” his/her character, attitude, temperament, thinking, sensitivity, and most of all…IQ….’coz I lose interest exchanging ideas with “low IQed people”.
pinag-uusapan natin ginoong ruffy biazon ay tungkol sa “POLITIKA” at mga “KATARANTADUHAN” ng mga salbahe at manglolokong “TRAPOs”, then suddenly you would “question me about” grammar?????? no wonder ganito ang sitwasyon politikal ng ating bansa, andami palang “MABABAW” na tao dito.
Of course we can only appreciate Ruffy’s present on this blog and answering very conveniently on selected comments provided by the bloggers. However, I still like to get to the matter of substance that I believe quite important to the citizenry of the Philippines, the real truth. Ruffy B.has failed to provide us the response to numerous questions, specifically to why his name wasn’t part of the 32 gallant men and women of the house of congress. Why he was awol during the impeachment? Still like to know from Ruffy B. if Gloria Arroyo is illegitimate head of the State. And that Gloria Arroyo should be investigated and prosecuted for lying, cheating and stealing.
A more direct question to Ruffy, Gloria and Miguel Arroyo admittedly in public that they planned and plotted to overthrow the government of President Estrada, why are you not (Ruffy B) doing anything as a congressman, member of Congress to prosecute Gloria and Miguel Arroyo for the crime against the people and the Republic? What are you doing,if any to recover the missing P728 millions tax payers money supposedly to help the poor farmers of the country. Why aren’t you doing anything to prosecute Bunye when he lied in Congress with “I got two tapes.” Garcillano lied in Congress, the other Gonzales lied in Congress and it seems everybody lied in Congress, yet the Congress and you Ruffy are not doing anything to prosecute those liars. Why Ruffy B.?
artsee….actually I was still logging-in on this forum, though I “lay-low” for awhile in posting my comments…I was still “reeling back” from the anger and pain I had after the “jokers” in congress “killed” without even giving any chance for it to “breath a few air” the 2nd Impeachment Complaint for against gloria. Ika nga “masyadong na-carry”….hehehe. 😉
ystakei-san:
“Sayaka-san” is the name assumed by Princess Nori when she married the best friend of Prince Akishinonomiya. She is now a commoner, right? She has no right to liveas Nori but as Sayaka….
HO! HO!
Hear! Hear!
Ruffy says he doesn’t regret anything!

Whhhoooooaaahhhhh!!!
ruff arf! is just another ruffled TONGresman!
arf! arf!
Can we not give Rep. Biazon a break? How many politicians of his stature would even care respond to comments here? I even find the comments more of personal attacks than constructive ones. Let’s show some respect. He was elected by his constituents; this, at least should merit some consideration and courtesy.
I agree with Npongco. Instead of condemning those young politicians, who may have deviated from the path we want to take, we should engage them.
He took a stand that we did not agree. He took time and effort to explain it. On my part, I appreciate it.
Kung Party-list kaya si Ruffy, parehas din kaya ang kanyang stand?
nagtatanong lang?
Give Ruffy B. a break?? How about the populace, are they getting a break? How about those that has to leave the country for measley few bucks and put their life on the line so they can feed their family, are they getting break? We gave Ferdi and Imelda a break, instead they both emptied the Philippine Treasury. Obviouly without to many details of explanation, bogus Gloria Arroyo is getting all the break, so where are we now as a sovereign nation? Right! With all due respect, all politicians must change first and foremost without giving them break and they must proven themselves, show great improvement until all the Pilipinos are free from bondage of poverty. Ruffy B. already got his break very much so that he doesn’t need to worry where the next meal will come. Garcillano (Hello Garci)got his break, Bolate got his break he’s still alive…we can go on. If anything, we need to keep after them politicians since it’s the only tools available to us. What else we got on this blog? And many thanks to Ellen, our honorable host.
ruffyb,
inamin mo rin na sa kabila ng hundreds of millions of pesos na hinakot mo mula sa taba ng baboy (pork barrel) wala pa ring pagbabago ang kalagayan ng constituents mo? kayong mga maka kaban ng bayan ang nagpapahirap sa aming mga karaniwang mamamayan. uutang ang gobyerno pero kami pinagbabayad n’yo. kayo nagpapasasa at nagpapakabundat samantalang ang mga pobre lalong gapang sa hirap. mahiya naman kayo!!! huwag n’yong gawing negosyo ang pulitika!
Okay, tell me and show me a politician who is 100% clean and I shall also drop this Rep. Biazon. When Imee Marcos did not appear and vote in last year’s impeachment, did you cry the way you’re crying today? Is Mr. Biazon worse than Imee? Imee did not explain or apologize to us; only to her colleagues in the opposition. On the other hand, Mr. Biazon took time out from his busy schedule just to explain his position in this forum. Think about that my friends…
Npongco,
You make a good point.
Thanks Mr. Chabeli. I think we’re being unfair to Rep. Biazon. Enough of these attacks that are getting to be personal. Let’s move on…
Politician 100% clean? Of course not. Not about getting personal, absolutely not, won’t even consider it, nor attacking Ruffy B. All I ever wanted was for Ruffy B. to kinda provided an honest answer to the many questions asked of him. He has been avoiding it and pls. review all his responses, nothing that make any sense. I’ve been monitoring this blog and still waiting for Ruffy to response. We need answer and not to raise the white flag.

npongco….why would you cry over spilled milk,…especially if it was already a “stale one”? Si Imee Marcos ay Marcos nga eh…hindi ba’t “isinuka” na nga sila ng “marami” sa mga pinoys…kaya nga lang, “only in d pilipins” nga lang na may mga “kumakain ng isunuka na nila”. 😉
i agree with mr. toney cuevas. but cong. ruffyb has already revealed his position. inamin nya na ang kalagayan ng constituents nya aside from the fact that he’s not honestly answering questions. puro play safe. am not being unfair to him. just getting him where he is and what he says.
After taking a hiatus from blogging (mainly due to the tiome I needed to study a particular subject matter for a bill I’ drafting), I am here again to react/answer questions that concern my person.

When I send text messages, I use the correct spelling, even if it means adding a few minutes to the time it takes to enter the message. That’s what I teach my fifteen year old son.

I couldn’t agree with you more! We finally have something in common! Although I don;t lose interest exchanging ideas with, as you term it, “low IQed people”. I do not think I can be a judge of someone else’s IQ because I’m not a clinical psychiatrist nor a psychometrist. But I do lose interest in people who think they are better than other people.

I believe I have answered the question about my position in the last impeachment vote, both here and in my blog. Failure to get the answer to that question is not on my part. I think I have explained that sufficiently.
My thoughts on legitimacy of PGMA? As far as I am concerned, that question is still unanswered. The issues raised against the integrity of the elections remain unresolved. Legitimacy is not yet settled. The allegations of cheating are still wanting for answers.
Should PGMA be investigated? Of course, especially since there are allegations raised.

With all due respect, you imply that I don;t do anything with regard to those issues. My simple reply is I do. But to be successful in resolving those issues, it takes the collective effort of many individuals and a lengthy process.
Actually, going over your question, it wasn;t a mere question. It was an accusation in the form of a question. “Why are you not doing anything”…unless you personally know me and are privy to everything that I do, I think you have no basis to put it that way.
Npongco and Dominique: Thank you very much!
