Angara cites benefits siding with a cheat

Team GMA senatorial candidate says he admits that Gloria is a cheat. And yet he is with her. And he is asking Filipinos to vote for him!

Following story is by Gil C. Cabacungan Jr. in the Inquirer.

It sounds crass but senatorial candidate Edgardo Angara says it is true.

Angara said he believed his chances of winning in the May 14 elections had been enhanced by his decision to run under the administration ticket because this was an assurance that his votes would be “counted.”

In an interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer editors Thursday night, Angara related how he was ribbed by his colleagues in the judicial and academic circles about his joining Malacañang’s Team Unity slate.

“They said, ‘Thank God, you will not be cheated.’ It’s quite cynical but realistic,” said Angara.
By siding with the administration, Angara said, “you’ll be sure your votes will be counted.”

Angara claimed to have prodded show biz icon Fernando Poe Jr. to lead the opposition in the 2004 presidential election. Poe died in December that year amid accusations by his political allies that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had cheated massively to prevent his victory.
Angara apparently continues to believe that Poe was robbed of victory at the polls. He was reported to have said last week that the late movie king would have been the country’s president today had he not been cheated.

Bonding with former foes

Asked by the Inquirer if he and fellow former oppositionists ex-Senators Vicente Sotto III and Tessie Aquino-Oreta now formally recognized the legitimacy of Ms Arroyo’s term, Angara said there was no need to make a formal declaration.

Although ostracized by his peers in the opposition for his switchover, Angara — who felt bad his name was never considered when the opposition drafted its ticket — appeared to have found a new home in the shadow of Malacañang. As Team Unity members, he, Sotto and Oreta are now bonding with former foes.

No one votes straight

Asked if he would vote straight Team Unity in the May 14 polls, Angara said: “Please don’t ask me that.”

He noted that Filipinos had historically voted for a mixed slate in senatorial elections.
Aside from being assured that his votes would be counted, Angara said the administration’s political machinery, particularly its control of the local government network, was another advantage for a candidate running with the ruling party.

‘She brings in the goods’

“Based on surveys, the hardcore opposition is only 20 percent, which is the same as the administration (loyalists). They will wash in the end and what will count is the local organization,” said Angara. “Gloria can bring out the mayors and governors. When she goes, she brings … thousands of sacks of goodies, of rice, whatever.”

On his own, as head of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino political party, Angara said he could count not only on the LDP machinery for base support but also on parallel organizations of University of the Philippines alumni, lawyers and teachers.

    Angara wants “guaranteed” votes! He must know something we do not know! The cheating machine may have been upgraded to a higher voltage! This is why all these marginal candidates are joining the Tiyanak. Shallow!

    GOMA AT CESAR, OUT NA!
    Inilaglag ni Pichay

     

    IPINAHAYAG kahapon ni Surigao del Sur Representative Prospero Pichay na hindi na kasama sa mga kandidato sa pagkasenador ng administrasyon ang mga aktor na sina Richard Gomez at Cesar Montano.

    Ayon pa rin sa solon, simula pa lamang aniya, hindi na talaga ikinonsidera sa senatorial line-up ng Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats sina Gomez at Montano.

    Sinabi pa ni Pichay na kumpleto na ang kanilang senatorial line-up at nakatakdang ihayag ngayon o bukas.

    Naghain na kahapon ng certificate of candidacy(COC) si Pichay sa Comelec.

    Sana tinanong din si Ed Angara kung ano ang masasabi niya sa pagpapatawag ni Pichay ng press conference noong July 9,2005 – Saturday?
     

  5. Point is how sure is Angara that he is going to win the honest and clean way? Inutile is what these ‘Tim Disunity deserve to be classified!

    maliwanag lamang na ang pinoproteksiyunan ni angara ay ang pansarili niyang interest at hindi ang tunay na paglilingkod sa bayan.

    para siyang kabag (hangin sa tiyan) na pasumpong sumpong at animo’y isang bayakang padapo dapo kung saan meron siyang malalantakan. katulad din niya ay linta na kung saan meron siyang dugong masisipsip ay doon siya kumakapit.

    ed, angarapal mo talaga!

    off topic lang:

    Just want to react to the recent statement of Abalos:

    Source: Abs -CBN

    Abalos defended COMELEC’s decision, saying that the congressman does not have a monopoly of the surname Cayetano.

    “It’s not that you [have a] monopoly. Just because [you’re famous], just because you’re on the top list of survey, just because you’re a congressman, you don’t want anyone else with the same surname run against you. That’s not right,” Abalos said

    Mr. Abalos kaya nga may tinatawag na nuisance candidate for you to investigate…if you will allow this then next election marami ng gagawa ng ganitong fraud as long na may legitimate party okay na pala…next election baka ang KBL maglagay din ng presidente nila na “LACSON” ang surname…or from now on, they will search for people with the same surname of senator that will seek reelection on 2010 or possible president contender like “VILLAR”…kung ganoon pala sa mga local election ganito na lang ang gawin ng KBL manggulo…Cayetano is only appealing to you to check the background and what is the intention of the other cayetano…obvious naman pati palayaw ginaya na..

    A voter would have to be mentally challenged to vote for an Angara.

    Jojovelas2005 you mentioned (February 19th, 2007 at 5:23 pm) about “..the recent statement of Abalos..Abalos defended COMELEC’s decision, saying that the congressman does not have a monopoly of the surname Cayetano.”

    Look at the reasoning of this man ? Pang caddy nga talaga ang utak ! Abalso should go back to the golf course of the cheats & stealers; go back to Wack-Wack Golf & Country Club.

    Yes, I saw it in abs-cbnnews…heto ang bago from gmanews.tv

    “Cayetano not a natural-born Filipino – DOJ”

    read that article and here’s what my cayetano has to say:

    Asked to comment, Cayetano said that he had already seen this script in the 2004 presidential election when Malacanang questioned the nationality of Fernando Poe Jr, who was then running for the presidency.

    “I am a Filipino citizen, not just on paper, but also in heart. This administration would do anything everything to prevent me to become a senator—they are afraid, they want me to continue my crusade against graft and corruption,”he said.

    “They are using Department of Justice to investigate my background. But did Sec. Gonzales tried to look at the background of my namesake Joselito “Peter” Cayetano, who submitted false information on his certificate of candidacy?”he added..GMANews.TV

  11. Mrivera Mrivera

    abaluslos, dapat sa utak mo, itaktak sa isang palanggana at ipakain sa mga piranha na kung tutuusin ay mas merong pakinabang kesa sa ‘yo!

    katwiran mong bulok! kung ano ang utot ng mag-asawang ganid ‘yun ang iyong sinasahod! kapag panggulo sa mga amo mong baboy at daga, nuisance candidate para sa ‘yo, pero kapag upang lituhin ang kalaban ninyo, okey lang sa iyo?

    sarap mong tiradurin sa bayag!

    Right here and without any pretense, Angara already admitted that cheating will surely be happening this coming election. That being with the Administration slate, will insure that the cheating will be on their side, and the electionering as we know it will be in their favor as he stated that they have the luxury of all the available the Goodies to acquire the votes. Indeed the election has gone down to the choreograph results of the Professional Wrestling Matches, but at lest the Wrestling is much more Entertaining…

  13. Shame on this Angara for dragging UP and its alumni with him into the mud that he and fellow UPian, Abueva, are bathing themselves in! Tongue T, you’re free to tongue lash these two crooks!

    Fortunately, a lot many UPians are still anti-establishment, especially one that is headed by a wannabe criminal surrounded by fellow criminals!!!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!
    STOP GUTOM! STOP KURAKOT! VOTE STRAIGHT UNO VS UNANO!

  14. Interesting? What is Cayetano now? A citizen of Timbuktu! Tarantado pala itong si Bobo Gungonzales e. Di ba niya alam na Japan is the only country that does not recognize dual citizenship and Filipinos who have become Japanese are the only ones who cannot apply for dual citizenship in the Philippines and more so in Japan otherwise they are advised to go back to where they come from.

    Otherwise, Filipinos in the US who have US citizenship can now apply for Filipino citizenship, and vote as absentee voters and/or run for office as that guy from Bay Area in California who wants to be a Senator like his aunt and cousin. Ambisyoso din kasi!

    Ano siya masaya—allowing only those who would want to lick the smelly ass of the Bansot to run!!! Nanggagago pa ang mga wala nang katinuan! Like the Tarat in Malacanang, tarat na rin ang mga ungas!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!

  15. It is not the family name, stupid! It is the name Peter! Cayetano is more known to everyone as Alan Peter! Ano iyan? Baka kumuha na sila ng isa pang Cayetano na Alan naman ang pangalan! Yuck! So, Alan Peter Cayetano had better ask the voters to write also his middle initial or the full family name of his mother before the Cayetano or just his initial of APC or the Spanish way of writing also the name of the mother as in the case of Poe, Fernando Poe y Kelly!

    Tongue na talaga! Pinag-iinitan si Alan dahil alam ng mga ungas na ang PAG-ASA ng mga pilipino ay nasa kaniyang mga kamay!

    Speaking of kamay, itong si Pacman, imbes na gamitin na lang niya ang kamay niya sa boxing aba, iyong salita niya na sa Congress ay gagawa siya ng pera ay parang sinabi na niyang hindi na siya magbo-boxing, kundi magnanakaw na rin siya! Tonguenamo, Pacman! Ooops, ummmph…I’m not supposed to say bad words!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!

  16. This is a bad sign for all politicians, that a strong politician like Angara has now fully succumbed to the dark side…

    Jojovelas2005,

    You mentioned (February 19th, 2007 at 5:48 pm) an article, “Cayetano not a natural-born Filipino – DOJ” which you took “from gmanews.tv”.

    Even if one were to be objective, dirty tactics like what this old fool, siRAULo Gonzalez, is doing, is horrible ! But then again, can one expect anything intelligent from a siRAULo ?

    siRAULo Gonzalez is probably adamant about Rep. Cayetano not being a Senator..after all, his appointment as Secretary of InJustice has been bypassed in the Senate’s Commission on Appointments. If Rep. Cayetano does become a Senator, his chances become nill ! Buti nga. This old fool should just stay home & dance the lambada w/ his wife (whom I hear is very good at this dance) !

    You know what..I think siRAULo Gonzlez was born in Nigeria !

  18. No, Chabeli, this guy is from Timbuktu, no doubt! Or better still, a resident of Mandaluyong, sa loob! 😛

    Off topic..eto si Kiko “Mr. Noted” Pangilinan has no principles whatsoever ! In a TV interview, I saw him & his wife, Sharon. Sabi ni Mr. Noted that he does not want to be identified w/ either Gloria’s camp or the Opposition. Bakit pa siya ginawang guest candidate ng GO ?

    Mr. Noted said that he believs that the elections should not be about personalities but about issues. I think the voters know that. That’s nothing new. Isn’t “Hello..Garci” an issue ? Isn’t Gloria THE issue ? I think its more like Mr. Noted cannot take a stand. In other words, namamangka sa dalwang ilog !

    In the same interview, Sharon said that her husband is “pro-Philippines.” In the same breath, she said that both side have “their strong points & weak points.” I wonder what she meant by that ? What are the strong points fo Gloria ? I hope Sharon would not be stupid enough to parrot the Malacañan propaganda that it is the economy. The strength of the economy is attributed to our OFWs, to the weakness of the US Dollar, & to the strength of the regional markets. It is definitely not because of Gloria !

    The Philippine economy is actually one of the slowest in term of growth when compared to our Asian neighbours.

    Sumakit na naman ang ulo ko at tumaas ang dugo ko nang mabalitaan kong sinisilip ng DOJ ang citizenship status ni Alan Cayetano. Keso green card holder daw siya. Namputsangna! Talagang iniipit at ginigipit nila si Alan. Ayaw tigilan. Ang daming pulitiko diyan at mga opisyales ng gobyerno mga US citizens pa nga. Di ba ang anak ni John Osmena at Barbers? At marami pang iba? Kahit na itong si Bill Luz ng Namfrel wala pang nangyari sa kanyang kaso bilang Canadian citizen. Isang dayuhan na namumuno ng Namfrel at Makati Business Club? Kung sa bagay, may dual citizenship na ngayon at puwedeng malusutan. Pero bakit bukod tanging si Alan Cayetano ang pinag-iinitan ngayon lalo na’t green card holder pa lang naman? Tungkol naman kay Angara, matagal na iyang ahas. Siya nga ang nagpahamak kay Erap. Siya ang Executive Secretary noon at kung sa anong dahilan ay nakipag-ayos siya sa mga ant-Erap grupo para mapatalsik si Erap. Ang kanyang diary din ang ginawang basehan ni Davide para sa decision ng SC. Tapos, siya din ang dahilan kung bakit napahiwalay si Ping Lacson sa partido. Iyon pala may maitim na balak itong si Angara sa kampo ni FPJ. Alam niya na delikadong makasama si Ping sa FPJ camp kahit na pumayag si Ping na maging running mate ni FPJ. Kung anong paninirang ginawa kay Ping kasabwa’t sina Sotto at Oreta. Tutoong malaking pondo ang nawawala sa FPJ camp noong patapos na ang halalan. Kaya naubusan ng pondo ang oposisyon. Iyon pala ninakaw ni Angara ang mga perang bigay ng mga tumulong na karamihan ay mula sa Tsinoy Community (isa na ako). Nalathala na minsan sa pahayagan na kahon-kahon at male-maletang puno ng pera ang laman ang nilabas sa opisina ni Angara o opisina ng FPJ camp noon. Hanggang ngayon wala pang accounting mula kay Angara. Hindi ito paninira sa kanya. Sabog na iyang balita noon pa at alam lahat ng nasa oposisyon. Kaya nga ganoon na lang ang galit sa kanya ng kampo ni FPJ.

    If you saw that on TV, naniniwala akong sinabi niya. In that case, 11-1 na lang ang boto for the UNO (I refuse to use GO that I feel very strongly is another playing safe ni Legarda!) Talaga naman! Kening burimo kasi!!! Now, can you blame me if I call these crooks dugong-aso?

    Planted ang ungas. Kaya pala even when I was telling Chi to give him a chance, medyo pumalag ang dibdib ko! Gotta listen more carefully to that Still Small Voice!

    So, Pangilinan has no yagbols, tama ang desisyon ko na iwanan siya! Bwisit!

    “By siding with the administration, Angara said, “you’ll be sure your votes will be counted.”

    Don’t be so sure this time na iboboto ka pa! Traydor Angara!
    Isa pa itong tumandang paurong. Sabagay, sama-sama pala sila nina Joker, Sotto, at Oreta, matatandang paurong din! Dapat talaga ay hindi na ibalik sa Senado ang mga amoy-pusaling ito!

    ‘Angara said he believed his chances of winning in the May 14 elections had been enhanced by his decision to run under the administration ticket because this was an assurance that his votes would be “counted.”’

    Hah! baka ang ibig sabihin ni Angara(pal) eh, his votes would be…”padded”!!!

    So voters, BEWARE! Bantayan ang mga boto nyo. Magdala ng camera o celfones at kunan ang bilangan lalo na ang mga COC results sa bawat presinto at isubmit sa isang grupo na dapat buuin para sa project na ito!!! Paging concern groups!!!

    ANGARAPAL SOBRA! Pangsariling interest lang ang hangad. Judas!

  28. artsee artsee

    Pero may katotohanan din ang sinabi ni Angara. Kung sumama sa administration ay mabibilang ang boto. Ibig sabihin kung nasa oposisyon ay hindi mabibilang ang boto. Ang ganitong mga salita ay patama pa nga kay tiyanak. Ibig sabihin dadayain siya kung nasa oposisyon siya. Dapat gamitin nga natin ang ganyang “statement” ni Angara sa kampanya. Nanggaling na din sa bunganga niya ang maitim na plano ng Malacanang. Dadayain na naman ang oposisyon!

  29. luzviminda luzviminda

    Naisip ko lang ito, anu kaya kung sa mga campaign rally ng oposisyon eh maging symbolic ang ‘walis, pandakot at basurahan’. Na ang ibig sabihin ay, ang pagboto sa oposisyon, ay ang paglilinis ng maruming pamamahala ni Gloria Engkantada (Taranta–)!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON(Minus Mr. Noted?)!!!

  30. chi chi

    Tama ka artsee.

    Ang statement ni Angara should be used against the Unano. Inamin na ni ANGARAPAL na bastusan sa vote counting ang mangyayari and bansot will protect his votes. Bigtime Cheaters!

  31. artsee artsee

    Ate Chiz, kung baga sa Ingles ay “let’s utilize his statement against GMA”. Magandang campaign issue iyan. Nakarating sa akin na kauumpisa pa lang ng kampanya kinakapos na ng pondo ang oposisyon. Kapag ganyan ay matatalo sila. Sa panahon ngayon ay dapat sagana sa pondo. Takot din ang mga malalaking kompanya at mga mayayaman na tumulong dahil bubuweltahan sila ni tiyanak. Ako lang ang hindi takot. Bawat isang senador na kandidato ay kailangan ng P150 Milion. Pagpalagay na lang natin na P100 Milion katumbas ito ng $2M dolyares. Sa 12 kandidato ay kailangan ng $24M. Ang balance ko sa banko ngayon ay mga $145M na lang. Kapag bawasan ko ng $24M ay aabot na lang ng $100M. Wala na akong pang-casino sa Macao.

    Actor Cesar Montano to take crash course in politics
    Last Updated 23:04:21 (Mla time) Feb. 19, 2007

    *************************************

    Dios ko, Cesar Montano apparently has come unprepared for the battle ! Sad to say, this guy was literally a mere field-in lang pala because, really, only the mentally challenged would want to be near the kiss of death !

    Come to think of it..how sure are we that Ceasr Montano will be able to grasp, understand & articulate politics & lawmaking in just a matter of 3 months ? I would be very warry of those who take a 3-month crash course in politics & become a lawmaker. Unless, of course, this man excudes intelligence & possesses a photographic memory. Other than that, a scary statement like that would make me believe for now that Cesar Montano is just politically challenged.

  35. luzviminda luzviminda

    Yuko,
    Make good your promise na hindi ka na magmumura, para pakinggan ang dasal mo, heheh. Ipaubaya mo na sa akin yan. Sino nga ba ang sinasabi ni Angara na mga taga-UP na sumusuporta sa kanya, baka yung mga anak niyang taga-UP lang naman – mga dalawa o tatlo lang? O Pati na yung mga gagong kasama niya sa tiket na sina Joker kung meron pang iba?

    Kahihiyan lang naman ang pinaggagawa niyang mga taga-Sigma Rho na iyan. Lalo na si Enrile. Kung ako sa Sigma Rho, pinagtatanggal ko na yang mga iyan! Kung kelan pa tumanda…Saka pa nagkaedad! Kunsabagay, sa dami ng ulol na politiko ngayon na grumadweyt sa Peyups nakakahiya na rin minsan na ipagmalaki ang alma mater. Isama mo na si Mimiyak Defensor, Miriam Kuliling, Kiko Cuneta, HerMujeres Assperon, EdSell Lagayman, sandamukal pang iba, aba, malapit nang maging kasingbaho ng kulay asul na eskwelahan diyan sa may Katipunan na may Agilang duling sa harap. (Buti pa ang LaSalle hanggang ngayon, traffic pa rin at traffic LANG ang problema.)

    Huwag paloloko kay Angara, hindi totoong ang bibilangin lang ay ang boto ng administrasyon. Ang totoo, BALEWALA NA ANG BILANGAN dahil areglado na ang mga balota, ER, COV, COC matagal nang inihanda ni Ronnie Puno, at matagal nang pinapraktis ng mga taga-switch ng ballot box. Apat na milyong balota, dalawandaang libong bagong ballot box, isang tropa ng mga forgers ni Roque Bello, at ang mga Marines ay nakahanda na namang muli para sa isang malawakang spec-ops.

    Naku, paano yan kung wala ng pera ang opposition, di talo na sila! Alam ninyo naman na lahat ng comelec ay kailangang lagyan. Lahat ng watchers kailangang bayaran ng tama, kung hindi, hindi sila magbabantay. Hay naku, lagot na naman ang mga manok natin.

    Tongue T, I really would like to be optimistic that we will have a cleaner election come May. But with the early signs of the Comelec’s and administration’s dirty moves such as: printing 4 million extra ballots, questioning Alan Cayetano’s qualification and fielding in an unknown candidate with the same last name, the questionable registration of flying voters all over the country, proliferation of full swing jueteng operations in some parts of the country, still in place cheating operators (Abalos, Garci and his likes, the two hemmorhoids-Assperon and Ebdame and the local versions of these cheats), and now the lack of campaign funds for the opposition, my hopes for a clean election is fading fast. A Divine Intervention is much needed! We need to pray so hard to enlighten these cheats to stop their evil deeds for the sake of their children and the rest of their unborn sibblings. Maybe the Holy Spirit will work on them before it is too late!

  41. chi chi

    PSB,

    I doubt if they would be influenced by the Holy Spirit. They don’t have souls anymore! But it’s of course always right to hope for the better. Sana nga.

  42. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Parasabayan,
    That was my hope, too. But this government is totally incorrigible. Much less, irreformable. Aside from paying lip-service, which craft the Midget has perfected, absolutely nothing has been done to straighten out the kinks before Mayday. Even the test run of the new counting machines have been scrapped. The well-oiled cheating machine is in place, what with the perpetrators from 2004 even rewarded with promotions.

    Yeah your hope’s gone, cuz the cheating WILL be brazen as ever, since the Masterminds, who used to operate in the Back Office are now sitting in the frontlines – in DND and DILG, which gives me this feeling the Bitch fears the outcome of the upcoming polls even more than it did in 2004.

    Maybe the expat bloggers can write their country’s invited observers to stay on until the canvass has been finalized, not just as after the voting takes place. Not even just in the counting. They can only rest when the final tally corresponds to that which they actually saw in the counting. Then and only then can they declare if the elections where honest or not. Not like 2004 when they prematurely declared that the polls were clean the moment the precincts were closed.

    The cheating took place much after.

  43. Let’s not lose hope. We do what we are supposed to do which is to defend truth and justice. Let God take care of the rest.

    The important thing is we do our part.

  44. parasabayan parasabayan

    Since we have a local election, the local candidates will definitely watch everything in the polling places. That is just my only hope. Also, every sector seem to be more aware of what is bound to happen so they are more proactive.

    Ok Ellen, I will be hopeful again.

  45. Mrivera Mrivera

    merong isang senaryo na maaaring maganap sa halalang ito na kasasangkutan ng manipulador ng immUNITY ticket. magaganap muli ang dagdag bawas kung saan ang boto para sa mga umanib buhat sa oposisyon ay “kakatayin” at itatapal sa medyo alanganing “tunay na kandidatong” sinusuportahan at sumusuporta sa “kagalang galang at mabunying” pangulo (gwark!).

    kung inaakala nina angara, sotto at oreta na sila ay buong pusong tinanggap ng immUNITY ticket ay nagkakamali sila. gayundin si cesar montano na gagawin lamang “tagahakot” o crowd drawer sa kanilang miting de abanse. tinanggap lamang sila upang maging kapanipaniwala ang kunwaring pagkakaisang (kasama ang pagmamalinis) isinusulong ni gloria arroyo.

    kailan ba naging totoo ang babaing ito?

  46. Ellen: Let’s not lose hope. We do what we are supposed to do which is to defend truth and justice. Let God take care of the rest.

    *****
    Sinabi mo pa, Ellen. That’s why it is important that we abide by God’s rules ourselves that He may listen to our prayers. Otherwise, it is a useless exercise, for it is in fact a symbiotic relationship we should have with Our Heavenly Father.

    My favorite story in fact was how Abraham tried to ask for God’s mercy for the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah which the Philippines is more like at the moment because of the graft and corruption propagated and magnified by the liar and the cheat calling herself “president” and making sure everybody do the same by bribing them.

    There are ample warnings in the Scriptures likewise about voting for fornicators, robbers, thieves, corruptors, etc. to position, and God leaving the people for allowing them to prevail over them.

    Mabuhay ka, Ellen, for your conviction to uphold truth and justice!

  47. PSB,

    How can our men in the UNO be inspired to do their best kung una kang mag-gi-give up? Me? Never! By hook or by crook, no matter what, I will support them! I can see a better future with these young men. Just heard a lot of good things about Chiz Escudero from his fraternity brod (hindi pala niya kapatid–brod lang!).

    Why listen to these attempts to destroy the good reputation of good men? May sarili naman tayong pag-iisip para pasaklaw sa mga tuta ni Madame Boba-ry na ito! Right kiddo?

    Golly, mga utak kamote! Pwe!

    Ate Chiz, kung baga sa Ingles ay “let’s utilize his statement against GMA”. Magandang campaign issue iyan.

    Ang dapat kong sinulat ay “let’s capitalize…” hindi “utilize”. Pasensiya na talagang mahina ako sa Ingles. Pero kung “capitalize” ang tamang salita, di dapat puro capital ang letra ko? Dapat ay “LET’S CAPITALIZE HIS STATEMENT…”

  49. Balita ko naluto na ni Pandak ang mga tao sa Mt. Province dahil marami daw projects doon na ibinenta si IpDye at nagkakuwarta ang mga kurakot na binatikos ng mga ipinapatay na nila!!! Luto na raw ang boto doon dahil na din kay Angara! Uk…..Umph, muntik na akong mapamura.

    OK, Tongue, pakimura mo na ako! Gusto ko kasing pakinggan ng Dios ang dasal ko na magmilagrong ang mga nilutong boto sa mga probinsiyang hawak daw ni Pandak ay maglahong bigla!

    Please, please, please God hear my/our prayer 11-1 for the Opposition!!!

  50. PSB:

    Kahapon nagtayo kami ng core group para sa election na ito. Isip kami ng isip kung ano ang itatawag namin. Since maraming ayaw sa ibang choice ni Mr. Binay sa mga sumama sa UNO lalo na kay kening burimo ng si Mr. Noted, we decided na kung sino lang ang talagang matino sa UNO ang ilalakad namin dito, pero naisip ko delikado ang ganoon kaya suggestion ko stick kami sa 11-1, at walang urungan. Tapos tatawagin namin ang aming movement since ang purpose ay makagawa kami ng paraang huwag makadaya si Pandak at IpDye na “Movement for Clean Election for/of/by Filipinos in Japan.” ‘Taragis mahaba pero walang magagawa!

    May briefings daw ang mga members ng diplomatic mission ng Pilipinas sa Marso sa Comelec para sa OAV voting, at siguro pagbalik sa mga posts nila ay dala na ang nilutong makaw ni Abalos na mga balota for the Nightmare Team (in contrast to some Dream Team)! Papaano sasaliwatin ng Oposisyon iyan? Ubos na naman ang pera sa kaban!

    Kawawang mga pilipino! After election, gutom na naman ang aabutin nila. But I think the Bansot deliberately wants the Filipinos to go hungry so she can ask for more funds to feed them kuno with half of the money used for buying what some Fil-American is reportedly packing on a special contract with her going to the Pidal fund and to the banks in Europe!!!

    Iyan ang isa sa mga racket nila apparently! Gutumin ang mga pilipino para kunyari bibili sila ng ipapakain sa mga mahirap kuno, turuan pa silang magbenta ng mga ibinibigay sa kanila at half the price of the amount paid by the government doon sa allegedly dummy nilang mag-asawa!

    This should actually be looked into by the authorities concerned. Unfortunately, lahat na kurakot na!!! Tang….ummmph, can’t say bad words!!!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON!

    artsee,

    meron din dito na kumakausap ng driver ng jeep.

    takaw pansin nga siya sa akin eh.

    Noon kasing 70’s ang inabot ko na mga sakay na pasahero ay animan lang hanggang pitohan.

    Nang mag 80’s-90’s ay nagkaroon na ng walohan, siyaman hanggang sampuan.

    Ngayon, mahahaba na ang mga jeep! onsehan na!

    Noong 70’s rin, una kong nasakyan ang mga Bagong Lipunan Jeepney sa ruta ng jeep sa bayan namin.(Kaya bago pa ilabas na nandyan sa Ayala-Makati loop ay meron na sa amin, wala nga lang aircon).

    Natatandaan ko pa na 35 sentimos ang pasahe at kapag pinakita ko ang ID ko na BOT ay 25 na lang.

    Ang Pop Cola nun ay 35 sentabos lang!
    Samantalang ang Presgusto naman ay kinse sentabos lang.
     

    Balik tayo dun sa usapang pasahero.

    alam mo ang laro dito sa bahay ni Ellen ay dose-dose. kaya isports lang!

     

    Syangapala Ellen, nabasa ko sa page 2 ng The Philippine Chronicle(Crony ba ito?) – Wednesday February 21,2007(Volume 1 Number 121) ang Quijano de Manila Symposium (QMS)sa a-beinte tres ng Pebrero.

    Ang QMS ay ang unang proyekto ng Quijano de Manila Media Foundation, Inc.(QMMFI).

    kaya sana artsee, hwag mo naman na palaosin si PSB hah?

    ngayon lamang sa administrasyong ito naging talamak ang bentahan ng prinsipyo na siyang isinahalimbawa ng sinungaling, mandaraya, magnanakaw at spoiled brat na umaastang pangulo.

    samantalang milyon milyon ang walang hanapbuhay, walang masilungan, hindi makapag-aral, nagugutom, namamatay nang hindi nakakatikim kahit pang-unang lunas, silang mga galamay ng huwad na pangulo ay milyon milyong piso naman ang pinagpapartipartihan na kinukuha sa kaban ng bayang ang mamamayan ang dapat nakikinabang.

    tunay ngang namamayani ang pagkagahaman sa salapi, pagkauhaw sa kapangyarihan at kawalan ng konsensiya ng mga namumunong halang ang kaluluwa. panahon na upang putulin ang kanilang mga sungay upang hindi na makapanuwag at baliin ang mga pakpak upang hindi na makapamayagpag!

    sumilang na ang mga taong tatapos at lilinis sa bulok na sistema! iboto natin sila sa darating na halalan!

    trillanes, escudero, cayetano. lumusot lamang kayong tatlo, tatalunin ninyo ang daluyong o bagyo!!

    Noong dekada 60 at 70, ang tawag sa Jeep ay Gorio’s Jeep (Jeep ni Chiquito). Noong 1990s ay Jeep ni Erap. Ngayon naman ay PJ (Pidal’s Jeep). Ang mga kawawang mahihirap na mamamayan ang nakasakay sa jeep ni Pidal. Nagbabayad na nga ng husto, kapahamakan at disgrasya pa ang inaabot nila.

    Namputsangna itong si Angara. Siya ang namuno noon sa kampanya ni FPJ, tapos ngayon sasabihin niyang hindi siya sigurado kung talagang nandaya si tiyanak. Mabuti pa si Sotto diniin niya na hindi siya nagbabago ng kanyang posisyon at paniniwala. Si Sotto ay puwede pang palagpasin pero si Angara dapat ibasura natin sa halalan na ito.

  56. Artsee,

    Sinabi talaga ni Angara ‘yan? “hindi siya sigurado kung talagang nandaya si tiyanak.”

    Walanghiya kasi. Dapat sa tangang ‘yan na Angara ay iburol ng buhay!

  57. artsee artsee

    Tutoo Ate PV. Kalat sa mga pahayagan ang sinabi ni Angara. Eto ang kinuha ko sa Phil. Star na hindi natin masasabing pro-opposition para walang masabi ang iba eto ang ipapakita at ipababasa ko sa iyo:

    Angara not sure if GMA cheated
    By Jess Diaz
    The Philippine Star 02/22/2007

    Sen. Edgardo Angara is not sure now if President Arroyo cheated his candidate – the late Fernando Poe Jr. – in the May 2004 presidential election.

    In an interview with dzMM’s Anthony Taberna, Angara, who, together with former Sen. Vicente Sotto III, convinced Poe to run against Mrs. Arroyo, deflected questions on accusations of cheating that he, Sotto and other Poe supporters had leveled against the President, who denies she robbed Poe of victory.

    “Don’t ask me that question. The (cheating) issue has not been resolved,” he said.

    Angara and Sotto convinced FPJ (RIP) to run for President in 2004, tapos inutakan nila at ginoyo sa campaign funds. Iyong blind item nuon sa isang tabloid na sinasabing isang napakalaking kaha-de-yero ang iniakyat ng ilang tao para dalhin sa loob ng condominium ng isang politiko, ay posibleng kay Angara, para paglagyan ng pondo ng kanyang nakulimbat sa campaign funds ni FPJ. No wonder, na-allergic si Ate Susan at ayaw maging politiko.

    Mr Angara, hindi ka ba nahihiya sa mga apo mo? ANGARA NANDAYA?

  59. artsee artsee

    Iyon nga siya. Si Angara ang nasa blind item. Noong umpisa sa blind item lang tapos pumutok ang balita na siya. Alam ng oposisyon iyan lalo ni Lacson at mga tapat niyang tauhan. Maaaring hindi alam ni Sotto na ganoon katindi ang ginawa ni Angara. Kasi noong bandang huli ay kumalas sina Sotto at Oreta kay Angara. Siyempre nalaman din ni Susan Roces at mga taga-FPJ. Kaya lang huli na nang nalaman nila.

    City mayors ditch Angara, Arroyo, Recto over cityhood bills

    By Nestor P. Burgos Jr.
    Visayas Bureau
    Last updated 07:26pm (Mla time) 02/27/2007
    Excerpts: ILOILO CITY, Philippines — Crossing party lines, city mayors have launched a campaign to boycott reelectionist Senators Edgardo Angara, Joker Arroyo and Ralph Recto for voting to waive the income requirement for cityhood to allow the conversion of some towns into cities.
    Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) president, said the city mayors will urge their constituents not to vote for the three senators, who are running under the administration’s TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) Unity.

    Treñas and LCP secretary general Mayor Mel Senen Sarmiento of Calbayog City in Samar said the list of the re-electionist senators they will reject will be finalized on Monday during the league’s board meeting.

    In a resolution passed by the LCP national executive board on February 8, the mayors asked President Macapagal-Arroyo to veto at least 15 cityhood bills passed on third and final reading by the Senate this month.

    The LCP will also come out with paid advertisements and other means to campaign against these senators. Inquirer.net
